Chapter 2
"Hurry UP Jakob or you'll miss a lifetime opportunity!" Mrs Blacksmith yelled over the clanging that her husband made while helping pack his wife's cloths in a mad hurry.
"Hey Tiara? I'm FINISHED!" He sang.
"Daniel do the world a favour and don't EVER do that outside" Jakob replied as he dashed past his father looking for his spell-books.
"What? This? OH! What a beautiful m-o-r-n-i-n-g!" Daniel continued to sing, as Tiara's bag fell to the floor unnoticed.
"Why did I marry a comedian?" Tiara moaned.
"Why not?" Daniel put on a fake hurt face and started to sing "I knew I loved you before I met you" in a really bad voice.
"Noooo!!! Spare us!!!" Tiara replied, trying to hold back a smile.
"Hey mum? Aren't we supposed to be at the school BEFORE everyone else?" Jakob said as he waited as the front door impatiently.
"Jakob?"
"What?"
"Your forgetting the most important thing that you own!"
"My Firebolt?"
"No, your wand"
"Oh yeah…" Jakob replied as Daniel threw his wand to him. "We going…like now?"
"WHY are we wai-ting slowly dehydrating?" Daniel started to sing but was cut short as Tiara threw her bag at him.
"Ooooo" Jakob said "FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!!!"
Tiara somehow managed to grab her bag, husband and son. Get them outside in the car and locked up the house and in a matter of a few seconds they were on the road. As Daniel complained loudly of Muggle traffic and how slow it was, Jakob leaned back and sighed this was gonna be a long year.

A light flickered on in a orphanage half way around the world, as Lily-Anne Evens snuck into the storage cup-board in the Kitchen to get her school cloths and accessories. Hoping not to wake anyone up, least of all the Head lady.
"Shhh!" She whispered to her owl Hybrid as she scurried around the room. There! Everything was ready. Just as she lit the fire there was a creak on the stairs outside.
Lily-Anne quickly grabbed her Floo-Powder and grabbed her belongings and was about to leave when.
BANG!
The whole house rattled as the stern "Mrs Migmay" charged through the door, yelling that Lily-Anne was to stop all this nonsense at once and get back to bed.
"Old Fart" She muttered loudly as she stepped into the fire.
"Cya next year Muggy!" She yelled and with a whoosh the flames engulfed her as she yelled
"Gringotts, Sydney!" and was gone.

It was 9am on 18th of August and Harry Potter in a few minutes would meet his best friends after being cut off from them for the last 6 weeks.
Impatiently Harry walked along the sidewalk of Platform 9 3/4 waiting for the train to come. Even though the train wasn't supposed to leave for another 2 hours harry had snuck out last night and took the Knight Bus to Kings Cross and arrived there in the early hours of the morning.
"Come ON!" he muttered angrily as the Hogwarts Express pulled up beside him. Seeing his chance to choose the best carriage of the lot Harry made his way slowly through the train until he got to the end. Dragging his stuff behind him he dumped it on the floor and fell asleep on the floor.

"Andrews"
"Uh huh"
"Bennet"
"yeah"
"Blacksmith"
"Check!"
Jakob turned away from the crowd of students who were trying to get their names marked off, wishing good-bye to parents and trying to load their belongings onto the muggle plane.
"Hey kid you at least gonna say good-bye to your pa?" Daniel said as he pushed his way through the crowd of swarming kids.
"I dunno…" Jakob smiled. "Yeah, ok dude, don't make the house too neat, I wont be able to recognize it if ya do"
"Whatever dude, we all know that I'm the biggest slob ever known"
"NO doubt about that" Tiara interrupted. "Just finished marking off the names. Lets go!" She said and kissed her husband goodbye.
"I'll see you in the morning ok?" Daniel said. "I'll see ya off the train as well"
Jakob rolled his eyes as Tiara started arguing to Daniel about the state of the house and she expects it to be left as she found it when she returned for the Christmas holidays.
"Bye pops!" Jakob waved as he made his way through the crowd to board the plane.
"Bring me back a Hogwarts toilet seat! I want to see if they really do have their emblem plastered everywhere" Daniel replied. "Have a good time Tiara…"
"Bye Daniel, behave yourself!" She replied with a grin.
"Who does she think I am some sort of 3-year-old?"Daniel muttered.
"No, just a great big huggable slob with a sense of humour - meaning he's very dangerous" Tiara replied as she was the last to board the plane.
"See ya in the morning!" Jakob yelled and as the doors closed behind him.

"Hey Harry!" Fred Weasly yelled into his ear.
"Wha? Huh?" Harry sleepily mumbled.
"Harry!" came the voice of Hermione as she ran forward to give him a hug.
Suddenly Harry was wide awake.
"Hermione! Ron? Hey Fred, George, Ginny. Hi Mrs Weasly!" Harry said as he rubbed sleep from his eyes. Looking around him he saw that everything was a lot brighter then it was when he fell asleep.
"The Potter is awake" George began dramatically only to be interrupted by Mrs Weasly.
"Its good to see you too dear." She said as she turned to her 'charges'. "Be good this year. I don't want to hear anything more about the trouble and mischief you've earned yourselves. " She said staring rather determining at the twins.
"Trouble?"
"Us?"
"Never!"
"Yeah, whatever" Ginny replied as she pushed her way past her brothers and onto the train.
Within a few minutes later everything was settled and the train was about to leave.
"Have a good time kids!" Mrs Weasly waved as the train started to move.
"Bye!" They all answered.
Ron sighed as he sat back in his chair. "You should have seen Fred and George! They went physco when they heard about how we could use magic for a few days. Mum and dad looked to kill with all the pranks they done! How was your holidays?"
"Great" Hermione replied. "Our family went to Italy for 2 weeks and I got to try out some of the charms and spells as I flickered through out books. There were so many to choose from though!"
"Boring" Harry replied, rolling his eyes. "Although I did manage to get Dudley worked up a bit when I showed him the letter. He refused to come out of his room!"
"I wonder why we have to go back so early?" Hermione said to no-one in particular.
"I dunno but I sure had a hard time trying to finish my homework in time!" Ron mumbled annoyed.
"Yeah we'll just have to wait. Didn't your family give you any ideas Ron?"
"They refused no matter what. The determination of our parents can be really annoying"
"Hurry UP Jakob or you'll miss a lifetime opportunity!" Mrs Blacksmith yelled over the clanging that her husband made while helping pack his wife's cloths in a mad hurry.
"Hey Tiara? I'm FINISHED!" He sang.
