Eveliyne's POV
Eveliyne Greengrass woke up to her mother's voice. As usual, Eveliyne had woken up late, or at least, later than her mother expected of her. Groaning and mentally cursing, Eveliyne rolled to the side so that she was lying on her back. Blinking spots out of her eyes, she glanced at the calendar at the foot of her bed. It took a moment for her eyes to adjust to the light, but when the spots finally faded, Eveliyne found herself staring at the tiny label she had marked the box '1 September' with.
She gaped, clearly in disbelief, at the words ' First Day Of Hogwarts ' written in a neat scrawl. In a flash, she was out of bed. Needless to say, her morning routine took little time as well. She threw on a pair of jeans and a T-shirt before hastily throwing a few things into her trunk as a bit of last-minute packing. Heaving up her trunk, she ran down the stairs, or tried to. Running with a trunk packed to the brim is not an easy feat to do, and running down stairs with a trunk packed to the brim certainly isn't either. She bumped into, or rather, almost knocked down, her mother at the foot of the stairs and nearly dropped her trunk.
"Well, somebody's excited." Daphne Greengrass commented with her eyebrows raised.
Eveliyne grinned at her mother and replied, "I still can't believe today's the first day of Hogwarts. Why haven't you changed yet?"
Daphne grimaced at her daughter and stepped out of the way to let Eveliyne pass. "I've got some work to do, Eliyne, it's very important. I wouldn't miss seeing you off on your first day at Hogwarts if it wasn't. You understand, right, Eliyne?"
Eveliyne nodded mutely, slightly crestfallen. She managed a smile at her mother before turning around and saying, "And I guess I'll be going with Scorpius?"
"Yes, and I think Astoria will be there too. I wish I could see her, ask about - you know… how she is with everything going on. Send my love to her, and my apologies." Daphne smiled sadly, but after checking her watch, snapped out of her reverie and ushered Eveliyne outside.
"You should get going by now. Come on, into the car." Daphne said. Eveliyne had a puzzled expression on her face.
"What… what exactly are you talking about?" She asked slowly. "What do you mean? The car is-" Daphne came to a stop as she realised there was no car in sight. "Draco! He's late! Again! I knew Astoria should never have married that little scum! Always late! Never does anything! And now because of him, you're going to be late! I should never have relied on him! Oh, when I see him again I'll-"
Eveliyne never found out what her mother would do to her uncle due to a black vintage Ferrari appearing out of nowhere. The Ferrari's black tinted window scrolled down as it drove closer, revealing none other but the very person Daphne had been ranting about.
"Remind me never to make you angry again, Daphne." Eveliyne's uncle Draco said with a fake shudder when his car stopped in front of them.
Eveliyne stifled a laugh and said, "I don't think teasing will help her temper right now. If I were you, I wouldn't have turned up in fear of being sent to St Mungo's."
Draco gave a pained smile and replied, "To be honest, I considered that."
Daphne glared at Draco. "Very funny. Now go before your sorry ass actually does end up in St Mungo's."
Draco put his hands up in defeat, "Scorpius is in the back seat. You'd better get in the car before your mum murders the both of us."
Eveliyne didn't need to be told twice. She heaved her trunk into the boot with Scorpius's, swung the car door open, and got in. It wasn't surprising that she ended up waving goodbye to a positively fuming Daphne Greengrass.
"At least she didn't hex him. Remember last year Easter?" A voice came from behind her.
Eveliyne didn't need to turn around to identify who had spoken. "Yeah, your dad seems to be the only one who can get under her skin." Eveliyne chuckled, still waving to her mother.
However, the voice merely harrumphed, "No greetings for me, my dearest cousin?"
Eveliyne rolled her eyes at the dramatised sentence and turned around just in time to see a pout on her cousin's face.
"What, did you want me to say, 'Hi Scor! I had no idea I'd bump into you! Such a coincidence!' , when I knew perfectly well you would be here?" Eveliyne said in a skeptical tone.
Scorpius grinned at her, all pretence dropped. "Such a sarcastic person."
"Why the tone? Envious?" Eveliyne said with a cock of her head.
A playful nudge came her way. "Well, we'd better get ready. Dad drives very fast."
Eveliyne gave him a faint smile. "If you say so, but nobody can drive so fast that they can reach Kings Cross Station in-" She glanced at Scorpius's watch and then out of the window.
"Twenty minutes. Especially if you're driving from Plymouth. Magic car or not." Eveliyne added upon seeing the expression on his face.
Scorpius smirked at her, "Suit yourself. But you're going to eat your sentence soon." Eveliyne decided not to correct him and instead prepared herself for the overwhelming thrill of excitement that would surely take her once she arrived at Kings Cross station, platform 9 and ¾.
Author's Note : This is the first chapter. I have no idea if it's good or not. The second chapter is longer.
