"The big day, eh?" Harry Potter proudly asked his daughter, while her mother checked her trunk and a cage. "Excited?"

Harry also bought Linda a new owl that looked like the one he used to have. Harry remembered how attached he was to Hedwig and how sad he was the day she was gone. Seeing a tiny snowy owl in one of the windows in Diagon Alley, Harry just needed to buy it for his daughter. Linda picked the name Aurora for the owl because her favourite cartoon of all times was Sleeping Beauty.

Linda nodded in response since she wasn't able to say a word.

The excitement had reached the top when she woke up that morning. Her hands shook, her voice trembled, her head buzzed, but everything in a positive way. She wasn't scared, she was just overexcited.

"Where are your glasses?" Isabelle Potter asked her daughter. Linda raised a hand to show her that she had already taken them. "Good. I'd say you're all set, then." She whispered and turned to her husband "Shall we?"

Harry smiled at her. Isabelle was always so simple. She'd never ask too many questions. Being gentle and quiet person, Isabelle was love of his life. Harry could swear that she couldn't entirely understand terms like 'auror', 'niffler' or 'quidditch', but Isabelle would react to every of those words with such mildness, that possibly not any other Muggle could.

Harry, Isabelle and Linda sat in the car and drove themselves to London, where on King's Cross station, on platform nine and three-quarters a train called Hogwarts Express was patiently waiting for them.

~*~*~*~*~

A group of delighted people passed through the barrier that separated two platforms, nine and ten on King's Cross station in London. There were five grown ups and three children. They were all speaking at the same time - adults because they haven't seen each other for a while and kids because it was their first time to be on a place like this.

"Whoa!" Said the red haired girl seeing the big scarlet steam engine sounding awestruck "This train is awesome! I can't wait till we go inside!"

"Me too." Her brother agreed "And look at all those children... I wonder how many of them are here the first time like us..."

"This is gonna be so cool." The third kid joined the conversation. "But, don't you feel, I don't know, a bit awkward?"

The girl gave him a quick look and responded "I feel great!"

Her brother nodded "I know what you're talking about, Dennis. It's not fear, it's just..."

"Fear, Alex?" The girl exclaimed sounding rather surprised "You are [i]scared[/i]?"

"I said that it is [i]not[/i] fear." Alex nervously answered "It's not my problem that you never listen..."

"Well, why would you mention fear in the first place if you didn't feel that way?" Mina said in a know-it-all way.

"Oh, shut up." Alex gloomily responded.

"Whatever." Mina shrugged and the happy expression was back on her face at once "I just know we'll have the best times of our lives here. At least [i]some[/i] of us will..."

"I wouldn't be so sure, darling, if I were on your place, considering your, um, deputy head master..." One older male voice commented, and while some other men laughed, the women part of the group grumbled.

"Honestly." His wife sighed.

The man who made that comment quickly kissed her, which was probably his way to make sure she wouldn't be mad at him.

"George, Ron, wanna give me a hand manage the trunks?" He asked his brothers. All three of them went to put the trunks and cages in one of the free compartments.

Hermione, his wife, called children "Alex, Mina, I want you to hear me now. Behave yourselves, study hard and make some friends, okay?"

"Everything's fine, except...That study part is worrying me a bit..." Mina said and added seeing her mother's stiff look "Oh, Mom, I was joking. [i]Joking[/i]. Familiar with the word?"

"You're just like your father sometimes." Hermione mumbled and kissed her children for goodbyes. They hastily climbed the train waiting for Dennis to join them.

A whistle sounded and Ron, Fred and George left the train.

"Take care of uncle!" Alex yelled, as Mina and Dennis waved their parents.

Their parents waved back until the train rounded the corner.

Hermione got a bit sentimental "Why did we have to old? It was so nice while we were kids, wasn't it?"

Everyone nodded compassionately and decided to go straight to the nearest restaurant to live up their old memories one more time.
