CHAPTER 13
They had just finished removing their trunks from the car, Harry had to promise a lot of sweet food to Lily to get her into the trunk again, and made their way to onto King's Cross when they noticed a young girl being laughed at by one of the station's personal: "What is it with you kids these days, every year there are children here asking for the way to platform 9 ¾ while that doesn't even exists.
"But sir, my ticket clearly states that I have to go to platform 9 ¾." The girl replied with a soft voice.
"Well girl, I think you've been ripped off then."
"Mrs. Weasley quickly stepped over to the girl: "Sorry sweetie, but did you say platform 9 ¾?"
"Yes, Madam. But nobody seems to know were it is."
"Come with me I'll show you." And Mrs. Weasley took the girls hand and led her back to the group.
As they reached the group they noticed for the first time how unusual the girls hair and eyes were, The were both silver coloured. As she noticed everybody looking at her a small crimson blush spread across her cheeks: "Why are you all staring at me?"
"We uhmmm, we were just admiring you're unusual hair colour." Harry finally managed to say.
"It's my natural colour. It runs in the clan. It is re,."
"Wait! Did you say clan?" Charlie interrupted.
"Yes, why?"
"Nothing really. Just thinking of something." He replied with a doubtful look on his face.
After that she quickly ran away only to return a few second later with a huge and very heavy looking trunk which was much larger then the girl who was carrying it.
Fred and George were laughing their heads off not noticing that tears were starting to well up in her eyes.
Mrs. Weasley did see it though and smacked the twins on the head with her umbrella which she had obvious taken with her for such a occasion. She knelt down and hugged the girl and started talking with soothing words: "It's all right girl, their just two idiots."
This seemed to have a immediate effect on the girl: "Thanks madam, it's just,.. I feel a bit lonely since my parent cannot be here."
Mrs. Weasley was surprised by this sudden change: "What? They can't even wave their daughter off to her first year at Hogwarts? Oh, and bye the way, my name is Molly Weasley, The one with the way too long hair is my oldest son Bill, he is a Gringotts curse breaker. The smaller and stockier one is Charlie, he is a dragon tamer\expert. The two idiots are Fred and George, don't bother telling them apart and never accept food from them. My youngest son is Ron and next to him is my only daughter Virginia or Ginny for short. And those two are our friends Harry Potter and Aurora Black.
At the mention of Charlie the girls face had started looking worried, and at Harry's name her eyes made the quick flick to his scar but the most surprising reaction came at the mention of Ginny, she quickly jumped forward and hugged Ginny and whispered something in the girls ear: "I've been waiting for you." And then she led Ginny go.
Ginny, obvious very surprised by this reaction, not to mention the other Weasley's, Aurora and Harry, could only blink for a couple of times, but before she could say anything the girl had stepped back and addressed the group: "I haven't introduced myself yet and Mommy says you always should do that first so I'm Irirana Averin Sildra of the Iviroendas Clan but you can call me Iri for short." She said all this with a smile on her face and then her face became a bit more serious again: "I think we have to leave, the express will probably leave soon."
Mrs. Weasley nodded and the group quickly made their way to the portal: "All right dear, just run into the wall, it would be easier though if you had a cart with you to carry your trunk"
"That won't be a problem madam. My trunk is really light." She replied quickly.
"Nonsense, I'll let the twins carry it for you, Fred, George get over here and carry Irirana's trunk."
The twins came over muttering something about slave-labour but quickly stopped it as they received death glances from Mrs Weasley. Then a new problem arose, Irirana seemed very much attached to her trunk and wouldn't let it go, Ginny had to snuck up to her and suddenly tickled the girl making her laugh and the trunk fall down. The twins swooped in quickly and each grabbed a side of the trunk but to everybody's surprise they only barely managed to lift it off the ground.
Ginny had finally stopped tickling Irirana and the silver haired girl had quickly made her way to her trunk again, taking it over from the twins. It seemed very light in her hands again, she a small blush appeared on her cheeks: "Anti thievery charm." She explained way too quickly, and with that she ran into the barrier and disappeared.
The Weasley's and Co looked at each other in surprise for a short time and then also made their way trough the barrier. When arrived on the platform they saw Irirana sitting on her trunk small tears rolling down her face.
Mrs. Weasley quickly made her way over to the crying girl: "What wrong Iri?" she asked with a soothing voice.
"I,. sniff, I miss my,. sniff, parents." She managed to blur out: "I've never,. sniff, been so long without,. sniff, them."
"Awww, You poor dear, I'm sure your parent are thinking of you right now and bye the way, you can always send them an owl right?"
This seemed to cheer Irirana a bit up: "You right Madam, and I better get on the train." She gave Mrs. Weasley a quick hug and grabbed her trunk and entered the train.
She opened the first compartment, which is the last one since she entered at the back of the train, to find Harry, Ron, Aurora and Ginny looking at something small in Harry's hand. They seemed quit startled at her entrance and were relaxed when they saw it was her.
"Mind if I stay with you guy's?" she asked with a timid voice.
Harry smiled: "Sure, it's not like you take up that much space."
After she had installed herself she looked at the small golden thing in Harry's hand. It appeared to be a small badge in the form of a Phoenix, behind the golden phoenix were two crossed silver swords.
"I'm very curious, is nice at Hogwarts? Cause I miss my family."
"Don't worry, you'll quickly make new friends and Hogwart will be like a second home to you." Harry told her smiling in a fatherly way.
She smiled back weakly: "I hope so, I miss my brothers and sisters."
"You have a large family then?" Ginny asked the girl.
"Oh yes!" you could see the girl lighten up now that they were talking about her family: "I have four older brothers: Cirist, Reo, Nunta, Itriris and two older sisters: Azmenta and LinLin. I also got one younger brother: Hesto and three younger sisters: Mayla, Hesta and Chari. Also, soon the twins will ha,. Uhm, Mum will give birth to twins again, we know because she used magic to find out if it was twins."
Ron whistled: "And I thought we had a large family."
She grinned and wanted to reply but a soft noise could be heard coming from a trunk: "Le. .e ou. of h.re, ri..t .ow!"
Harry grinned sheepishly: "We forgot Lily." And he quickly opened his trunk. Immediately Lily zoomed out and made a few laps trough the compartment.
"I can't believe you forgot about me." She shouted angrily at Harry while making a lap around his head and suddenly yanking out a hair.
"Ouch! What was that for?" he asked the steaming fairy, noticing to his surprise that her legs appeared slightly transparent.
"That was for keeping me locked up in that trunk, Now do you have any food? I'm starving you know."
"I got nothing, the trolley witch hasn't been around yet." Harry apologized to her.
"But I'm really hungry." She moaned.
"I got a banana." Everybody turned to Iri immediately making her Blush: "You can have it if you want."
"Yes please, thanks you thank you thank you." Lily repeated as she attacked the banana peel with her tiny sword.
They all started talking about how this new year at Hogwarts sometimes interrupted by smacking noises coming from Lily. Then compartment door slid open again and Draco Malfoy stepped in. A soft breeze could be felt, starting to move trough the train.
My first attempt at a Cliffy, did I do all right? Please say yes. Also this chapter is a bit longer then the previous one. Arrival at Hogwart in the next chapter. See you then.
