September 1, 1991 Seven A.M.


Rose walked out of her room and Harry saw how terrible she looked. Harry pulled her into his room.

"You okay Rose?" he asked her gently. Her eyes were so red.

"Uh huh. Just a.... a bit... a bit... Oh HARRY!" she threw her arms around his neck. "Look, just TALK to dad, K?"

"You- you heard?" she said in between sobs pulling a bit away.

"Harry grinned a bit, "How could I not?" Rose smiled and ran out of the room and down the corridor.

"Daddy! Daddy? Daddy!?. Then she saw her mother. "Mum? Have you seen daddy?

She smiled and as Rose guessed, she had, like Harry, heard the entire argument the night before.

"Oh, he's in the parlor drinking coffee and yelling at the Daily Prophet like always darling." She messed up Rose's hair as she ran down the two flights of stairs.

"Daddy?" Rose asked meekly as she poked her head around the corner of the room. She saw him look up from the Quidditch section of the Daily prophet muttering "How could they have won? They were DEFINATLEY cheating."

"Daddy?" She repeated as she stepped into the living room.

"Hmm Rose?" he said smiling slightly. "Daddy....? I'm sorry..."

"Me too." and James's smile grew.

Rose walked in and promptly hugged her father. "Daddy I'm REALLY re-"

"Shhh... I know..." And they both knew that everything was right again between them.

"Right, well, have you gotten all of your things packed yet?"

"Uh huh! Wanna see the really cool new spell I learned?"

"Sure!" he smiled at her enthusiasm."

"Accio Trunk!" shout shouting, squeezing her eyes shut, and pointing her wand in the air and just as it came down the stairs she shouted, "Wingardium Leviosa!" as slowly drifted it down to the ground.

"Rose! That was a fourth year spell!" he said shocked. "Well, I was looking through some of mommies old books and notes and I saw that one and some tips for it." she said proudly. "And d'you know what Jewlz did last night?"

"What?"

"She turned her bed into a potato!!! I didn't believe her at first, but she REALLY did!" James already knew of this since Padfoot sent him an excited owl about it.



( A/n: I'm sorry, I suck at sappy stuff, but I realized too late that like, UGH, I had to end up the evil fight scene that I can't believe I wrote...)

(Here we go! Train ride!))

"James!" Lily shrieked at her husband.

"Yes Lily?" he was right behind her and grasped at her slim waist kissing the back of her head.

"James, why didn't you have you son pack up yesterday afternoon like I had my daughter do?" She glared at him.

"Well, so he's my son when he does something wrong... and Rose is your daughter when she does something right?" "Precisely," she said briskly.

"Now get him packed while I fill up the car." The Potters had a sweet looking black convertible with (it WAS James's idea...) fire stripes on the sides. (I don't know about cars or models and such. So sue me. NOT Literally!!!!!)

James sighed and went upstairs. "Harry James Potter! WHY didn't you pack yesterday?"

"Er- because you made me go over Moony's and hang out with Bryce AGAIN."

"Er- oh yeah... Er- We should get you packed then... the train leaves in two hours..." And James magically packed him up and shooed him into the car along with his trunk plainly saying "HARRY J. POTTER" and he started the car.

"Okay, we're picking up Bryce and Missie while Moony apparates to King's Cross. And Padfoot is taking Juli on his flying motorbike. So off we go."

(blech bad I know....)

King's Cross Station 10: 43


They got to the train station and James brought the children over to the barrier of Platform 9 3/4. There they saw a woman with four boys and a little girl with flaming red hair.

"Mom, can't I go..." piped up the small girl who happened to be holding her mother's hand.

"You're not old enough, Ginny, now be quiet. All right Percy, you go first."

The oldest boy marched through the barrier, then Harry went through with Rose, and Bryce and Lily, and lastly, Missie and James. Once at the the platform, they met up with Remus, Sirius, and Jewlz.

"Come ON! We only have five minutes left! We gotta get on!" Missie cried pulling on Reemie's sleeve. "I can't wait for you to be our Defense teacher! This is going to be so cool!" Remus rolled his eyes. He had gotten a letter from Dumbledore in the middle of August confirming his position.

"Bye sweeties. Harry, if Snape gives you a hard time-"

"Punch him in the nose." James finished for Lily. The girls giggled at this, but Lily gave him a stern look.

"No! James! Harry, just owl us if he's being horrible. Better yet, owl us AND tell Moony."

"K Mum!" And Harry boarded the train. "Rose, honey, I'm going to miss you, and if Snape gives YOU a hard time, just do what comes naturally, try to make him feel like a total git." Lily said.

After all of the children had their good-byes, they boarded the train. They all decided on the last compartment which was empty so far and they got comfortable.

The youngest red haired boy came in, with dirt on his nose and looked around.

"Do you guys mind if I sit here?" he asked looking at Bryce, then Harry, then at the three girls.

"Sure! Plenty of room in here! Do you know anything about transfiguration?"

"Er- well"

"JULIANA!" shrieked Rose. "Geez, don't be mean to him! Come on and sit, but don't mind Jewlz here, she's er- um she's a bit on the prankish side and is a complete expert at transfiguration."

"Oh, I see."

"Come and sit over here with me , what's your name by the way?" Harry asked him, desperate to talk to someone besides the girls and Bryce.

"Oh, I'm Ron. Ron Weasley. And you're..."

"I'm Harry Potter, and THAT red haired brat is-"

"Hey! I am SO not a brat Harry! I'm Rose, his twin sister. And this is one of my best friends, Juliana Black, the evil one who tried to be mean to you."

"Hi. But how would her asking me about transfiguration be mean?" he asked quizzically.

Juli! Show him! Come on Rose, let her! I'm Missie Lupin, and this here is step brother Bryce."

"From planet 'freak'" Juliana finished for her. "Sure what do you want me to do?"

"Can you transform um... your cat case."

"Playtime.... and that would be Rose's cat case. His name is Cammy and he changes colors. Watch this.... Hmmm..." she thought for a moment and with a flick of her wrist and a total look of concentration on her face, she turned it into a chair. "Voila."

"Cool." he said in awe.

"That's IT! I'm going to find some people on this train with a LIFE." Bryce said, irritated, and stood up and left the compartment.

Harry and Ron immediately started to talk about Quidditch, and the girls launched into conversation about the awesome map (Exactly the same as the Marauder's Map but new, Sirius made it on old parchment for cooler effect.) that Sirius had given them, since James insisted on giving Harry the Marauder's Map. But Rose had an invisibility cloak since James's mother died four years ago and left another in his possession. So Harry had one too.
