A/N I do not own Harry Potter or any of it's affiliates. Ms. Rowling does and while I admire her work I do not wish to steal it.
A/N 2 I do this so that I can get input on my work. If you are reading please review.
As the sun rose on September 1st, Amalthea turned over in her plush pink bed. "Today is the day" she thought."Today is the day I go to Hogwarts." She had all of her stuff packed neatly in her trunk at the end of her bed. Soon Mrs. Malfoy would be coming up to wake her.
"Amalthea? Amalthea dear, it's time to wake up." Narcissa went to the windows and openned the blinds. Amalthea turned over to face her guardian.
"I'm awake." Amalthea rolled over to face her godmother. Such a sweet natured woman and so underappreciated. "I was just lying here."
"Well, we need to get going, it's a long ride from here to London." Narcissa was hurrying about the room trying to get everything into one place.
Amalthea got up from bed and put on her satin pink robe to go into her dressing room. "Should I wear my robes to the platform?" she asked. She'd never been in a muggle train station before.
"No dear, we wear muggle clothes. You'll change into your school robes on the train." Narcissa was now in Amalthea's trunk making quite sure she packed everything she would need.
Amalthea walked over to her many shelves of clothes and picked out a pretty pink, beige and white plaid mini skirt and a pink halter top and a white jacket. She decided on white knee high stockings and a pair of white MaryJanes. She'd seen the outfit in a muggle magazine once and asked for it for Christmas. Not only did she get that but half of the clothes in the store. The Malfoys made sure that Amalthea always felt at home.
"I'm ready." She said as she emerged from her dressing room. She chose a pink mini backpack and had put a few books inside for the trip as well as her pocketbook, just in case.
"Oh darling, you look so adorable." said Narcissa as she came over and had Amalthea twirl. "No we better head downstairs, breakfast should be ready any minute now."
Amalthea took her time walking down the stairs. She loved this house, even if it was a bit creepy. She loved how she and Draco used to slide down the banister and how it always smelled of freshly baked bread.
"You look ravishing. Don't you think so Draco?" Lucius Malfoy always over exaggerated.
"Uh...yeah...you look great, Amalthea." The bumbling bafoon never really did know what to say.
"Eat up now, it's going to be a long trip."
After breakfast, Narcissa packed a lunch for both Draco and Amalthea while Lucius packed up the trunks, Draco's owl, Amalthea's owl, and everything else into the boot.
They arrived at the station with plenty of time. They were the first ones there. Narcissa helped Amalthea to the loo while Lucius and Draco put all of their luggage onto two trollies.
"You will help her out Draco. She's just like family." said Lucius as he and Draco walked towards the platform.
"Yes father, but what will Pavarati think? She is my girlfriend father." Draco had been at school for a year already and had already found a girlfriend. He wasn't all that unattractive.
"You will tell her that this is family. Family comes before pleasure." This was so unlike his father that Draco had no rebuttle. Family? When did Lucius Malfoy ever care about family?
Amalthea and Narcissa finished powdering their noses and made their way to the platform.
"There is no platform 9 3/4." Amalthea was astonished. How could they be going to a platform that doesn't exist.
"It's there, you just have to open your eyes." and with that Draco walked through the partition between platforms 9 and 10. Soon after Narcissa did the same.
"Come on, it's just this way." Lucius pointed out to her. "Just walk straight through the partition and believe." Amalthea unable to believe that her godfather would lead her astray, began walking towards the partition. Suddenly everything got dark and soon she came out at platform 9 3/4.
On the platform was Narcissa and Draco and a large steam engine.
"You'd best move out of the way dear, would hate for you to get run over by a trolley." Narcissa helped Amalthea to walk. She couldn't believe her eyes. The Hogwarts Express, and she was going.
"Whoa now lass, may I see your ticket?" The lady at the door to the train stopped Amalthea at the door.
"I have it right here." Amalthea took off her backpack openned her book and handed her ticket to the lady.
"Thank you dear and have a nice ride." As the lady stepped off to the side, Amalthea jumped up on the first step and turned around to face her, now teary eyed, godmother.
"Thank you so much. I've had a great summer. Don't worry about me, I'll be just fine." And with that she got on the train for her long ride to her new home, Hogwarts.
