"But…but…Mummy…I'm scared to go to Hogwarts!"
"You'll be fine darling, absolutely fine." Her mother securely fastened Candy's jacket and gave her another hug. "Be a good little girl for Mummy, promise me darling."
"I promise," Candy squeaked, holding back tears.
"Onto the platform with you now," Hermione said, kissing Candice's forehead and straightening her curly red hair. "Go on darling."
Candy's bottom lip shook violently. The last thing she wanted was to leave her mummy all by herself back at home, with no one but the cat to look after her.
"Please Candy, go on." Hermione nudged her daughter towards the platform. Candy took a deep breath, took one last look at her mum, closed her eyes, and ran between platforms nine and ten.
"Watch it!"
"Yea, can't you see we're trying to walk by here?"
"Honestly, some first years…"
Candy realized she hadn't opened her eyes, and had nearly paraded right into some older girls. Candy revved back her cart, loaded with her belongings, including her new kitten, Bonkers, and tried to look for signs offering directions on where to go; just her luck, there were none. Candy felt like crying, until she felt a hand on her shoulder; a huge hand on her shoulder. She swung around, almost toppling Bonkers out of his cage, and stood up to the kneecap of a huge, ugly, smelly, hairy giant.
"'Ello there," his voice boomed. He must of noticed the look of terror on the little girl's face, because he quickly made a motion towards her cart. "I reckon yer lookin' to put that cart there somewhere. Come on, I'll show ye'." He started walking, and Candy pushed her cart slowly behind him. "Ah, 'ere we are," he roared, pushing Candy's cart into a boxcar with the rest. "Now, you'll be wantin' to head down that way," he pointed. "An' find yerself a compartment. Off ya go." He nodded down at Candy with a smile, and turned to walk away.
Candy heard the conductor cry out, and before saying her 'thank-you's, she ran down the platform and go there just in time.
She nodded at the conductor, and continued down the corridor, poking her head into different compartments, looking for an empty one for her to sit. She peeked inside a compartment, and spotted the back of two red heads. One whipped his head around and spotted her before she could leave.
"Hey you!" he said, running after her, grabbing her arm, and pulling her back into the compartment. He sat her down and closed the door hind them. "A spy," he simply put to the other red head, looking at Candy with a serious face.
"A spy, 'eh?" said the other one, sitting across from her and looking at her.
"N-no," Candy spit out.
"LIER!" exclaimed the first, raising a hand into the air, and causing Candy to slunk back into her seat. "You were sent by Jordan, weren't you!"
"Trying to sneak someone in here to dig up our plans for the perfect prank," said the other. "That rat." They both looked at Candy.
"You're related, aren't you!" exclaimed the first again, getting closer to her.
"No, you twat," said the other. "Jordan doesn't have red hair."
"Who are you?" asked the first, pointing a finger up to her face.
Candy's eyes were wide open, and she was 'scared shitless' as her mum's muggle boyfriend would've put it.
"WELL?"
"Candice…"she stumbled over the words. "C-Candy for short."
"Candy…" said the other twin. "What's your last name, Miss Candy."
"Granger."
The twins exchanged glances. The name sounded familiar in both their ears.
"We're Longbottoms," said the first twin. "I'm Frank, this is Greg." The other twin nodded.
"Pleasure," Candy said.
"We're first years," he went on, sitting next to his brother.
"As am I," Candy said, folding her hands into her lap.
"A first year, are you?" asked Frank…or Greg…Candy couldn't tell. "What house you looking for?"
"Mum told me Gryffindor…" Candy said, "But I've read that Ravenclaw is a great house as well.
"GRYFFINDOR!" both twins exclaimed in unison, slapping their hands together.
"That's what house we'll be in," said Greg, or maybe it was Frank. "Both our mum and dad were in Gryffindor."
Candy nodded and smiled. "As were mine."
"Is that so?" Frank said, digging under the seat for something.
"What's your parents' names?" asked Greg. "Perhaps we may know them."
"Hermione and R-"
"Ah-ha!" exclaimed Frank, pulling up his hand, which held a bag of round objects.
"Wicked!" Greg exclaimed, taking one of the round objects into his hands and examining it. "Dung bombs."
Frank grinned. "Our uncles left them here for us," he explained. "Said they left 'em here in their seventh year, and forgot 'em. Original pranksters, those two."
Greg held the dung bomb up to his heart. "I miss them already."
Frank laughed and pushed the bag into a nearby case, over pouring with all sorts of things already.
"Morning, Longbottoms."
All three of them swung their heads around towards the door, where a young girl with long blonde hair and sharp green eyes stood, grinning.
The two boys scowled. "Larcisa…" said Frank, not taking his eyes away from her's.
She grinned again. "Better hid those toys of yours, 'eh? My brother's coming around to check for them."
"Shut it, Larcisa," Greg said.
She sneered, then moved her glance to Candy. "Got yourselves a girlfriend already?" she asked, glancing over Candy with a disapproving glance.
"You're off your rocker!" said Frank, standing up. "We've just met, and she's not our girlfriend."
Larcisa turned back to Frank and smiled evilily. "No need to get your knickers all in a knot," she said, starting out towards a different compartment. She turned back and smiled at Frank, "You're cute when you're angry."
Once she left, Frank sat back down. "Mental that one," Frank said. "I'm telling ya'.

Allow me to explain this, for all who may be confused. Candy is the daughter of Ron and Hermione. Hermione left Ron and changed Candy's last name back to Granger. There still isn't any sign of what Ron has done in the past nine years since Hermione took Candy and left. Frank and George are the offspring of Ginny and Neville, taking after the Weasley side, of course. The reason the name sounded familiar to their ears was because they are related…they just don't know it. Larcisa is the daughter of Draco and Pansy, and she has an older brother, the son of Draco and Pansy…still confused? LoL
