Chapter 13: Train Home

"Thank God it's summer!" Garner cried stretching and flopping his feet on Correna's lap.

"Yes it is nice isn't it," Correna replied staring at his feet.

"Garner take those off her lap. It's rude," Lizzie scolded.

"Terribly sorry my dears but I have nowhere else to place them," he said inclining his head to the boy sitting next to them.

"You could try on the floor," Vulcan snapped. He was in a bad mood because he wanted to sit closer to Correna and it just wasn't happening.

"Garner leave him alone, he's my friend so be nice," Correna lightly scolded.

She took off Garner shoes and placed his feet back in her lap wile giving Vulcan a wink. The wink made his heart lighter.

"So Vulcan what are your plans for the summer," Correna asked?

"I think my family's going to Italy," he replied flashing her a grin.

"That sounds lovely, maybe we'll see each other," Correna exclaimed, "We're going with a few extended family members as well."

"I'll keep a look out for you," he nodded.

"And what about you guys?" Corri asked looking at her friends.

"Nothing probably. I think we'll stay home and maybe go to the park," Garner said and Lizzie nodded. The two were not very rich at all…in fact they were quiet poor.

"That sound nice too," Correna said with the same enthusiasm.

The rest of the trip was spent playing chess and laughing at all the pranks they pulled of the year. Before the friends knew it they were back at King's Cross and saying good bye.

"Well see you in September," Lizzie and Garner waved as they met up with their parents.

Correna noticed their parents clothes were more worn then the children's. She decided they must give everything to keep the kids going and it saddened her. She put on a cheerful face though and waved good bye to her new found friends.

"So who's picking you up?" Vulcan asked looking around the platform. He suspected it might be the Headmaster.

"My dad supposedly, but things never really go as plan," she replied looking around.

She spotted a man waving at her, but it wasn't her uncle…well not the Dumbledore one anyway. "Looks like plans changed," she quipped waving at the tall raven haired man and the woman walking toward them.

"Harmony my love it is so good to see you again," the tall man greeted kissing her head.

"It is good to see you to sir. May I introduce my friend," she said turning to Vulcan, "Vulcan Crabbe meet Hera and Neptune McGonagall, my aunt and uncle. Aunt and Uncle meet Vulcan Crabbe one of my new friends," she introduced.

"Pleased to meet you sir," Neptune nodded shaking the boy's hand.

"Yes sir," Crabbe nodded returning the shake, "Forgive me sir, but are you related to Professor McGonagall?"

"Found yourself a smart one eh Harmony," Neptune said laughing to his niece and turned back to the boy, "Minerva is my twin sister. She's older by six minutes."

"Does that mean you're related to the Professor?" Vulcan asked thinking the rumors were true.

"No," se said shaking her head.

She then recited what her parents had told her. "Uncle Neptune is related by marriage. Aunt Hera and Mia were sisters so I don't believe there is any relation to the Deputy," she replied before turning to her uncle, "Where's father?"

"Slight problem with old Bessie. He sent us in his place hoping to ease the blow," Neptune teased.

"I think he likes that goat more than us," Corri laughed, "Well at least he didn't send Uncle Albus. I'd hate to have everyone talking about the Headmaster picking me up."

"That would be bad," Hera laughed, "Shall we go?"

"Oh yes please," Corri nodded. She turned and gave Vulcan a hug and kissing on the cheek saying, "Bye. See you next term and maybe over summer. Ciao Bello!"

"Ciao," Vulcan said trying to hide the heat rising to his cheeks as he watched Correna and her relatives walk off.

He knew then that when school came back for fall he would find someway to ask her out. He only hoped she didn't turn him down.

Will she turn him down? Will he even get the courage to ask her out?
