A new year
"Remember, honey. Don't be nervous," Ginny said to her daughter as she fussed over her being in Hogwarts. Lily, Jamie and their mothers were at platform 9 ¾ as the Hogwarts express was readying to depart.
"I'm not mum," Lily said as she blushed. Looking over Jamie, she smiled as she saw that her cousin was getting the same treatment as her.
"Now, Jamie." Hermione smiled as she straightened her daughter's clothes. "Remember, boys are troublesome. Try to stay out of trouble okay?" Jamie looked at her confusingly. She only met one boy and he didn't seem troublesome. But she only met him for a half hour. Looking at Lily, she could tell that she was thinking the same thing.
"I will, mum," Jamie promised but Hermione gave her a look of scrutiny but smiled as her angel was going to Hogwarts. But she remembered her first year and sighed. Granted, the dark lord was gone but still there was enough mischief in an eleven year old girl that could cause trouble. She knew for she was one herself.
"Owl us okay?" Ginny said as she giggled. The twin cousins looked at her as if she had made a bad joke.
"Muuuummmm," Lily said as she sighed. Really, if it weren't for their ages she would think that her mother was still a teenager. The train's whistle blew and everyone said goodbye.
Ginny and Hermione stood at the platform as they saw the train depart, their two babies waving at them saying final goodbyes. The train disappeared when it reached the bend. Both mothers sighed as looked at each other. Giggling, both disapparated and left the station with their memories.

"Found an empty one yet, Lily?" Jamie asked as she and Lily were looking for an empty compartment.
"Well," Lily paused as she looked at one compartment. "There's only one occupant in this one. But..." Jamie sighed. Lily was shy as always.
"Ask that someone if we could share," Jamie said as she approached her. Lily peeked into the compartment and blushed.
"YOU do it," she said as she looked at her cousin. Jamie sighed and knocked at the door. Waiting a while, she opened it only to see the occupant gazing out the window.
"Excuse me," Jamie said rather politely. "Can we sit here? Everywhere else is full." Upon hearing her voice, the occupant lifted his head but still looked out the window. He gestured them politely at the empty seats and Jamie smiled, taking Lily inside.
As they sat, the girls looked at the occupant and their eyes widened. His hair was waist long in a single braid and was black, blue and a hint of brown. He was already wearing Hogwarts robes but has a pin of a flaming lion on his collar. They weren't sure if it was who they thought it was but Jamie had an idea.
"Thanks for the gift," she said, looking at Lily. If it wasn't him, they wouldn't be embarrassed, it would seem that she was talking to her cousin. Nut what happened next made them smile.
"You are mostly welcome, my ladies," he said. After a while, when he realized what he had done, he smacked himself in the forehead and sighed. The girls laughed and looked at him intently.
"It IS you." Jamie said happily. Turning around, the boy gave them a defeated smile and sighed.
"How'd you know it was me?" he asked beaming.
"Well, your hair is a dead giveaway," Jamie smiled as she inched closer. Lily gave her shin a small tap and glared at her. Jamie smiled and stopped moving and smiled at him. He sighed as he touched his hair.
"It's the only thing that my parents left me," the boy sadly smiled as he stroked his hair. "This and the store and my eyes." Jamie felt like a prat and cringed. She didn't know that it was a delicate subject. Lily shared her sentiment and shyly smiled at him.
"We're sorry," Lily said softly but the boy smiled brightly and looked at them.
"Don't be," he said. "I'll see them again when the time comes."
"Where are they?" Jamie asked warily. She may touch a subject he didn't want to talk about. But he smiled at her and looked out of the window.
"They're...." He didn't continue. Instead he looked at them intriguingly. "So, what houses do you think you'd go to?" he asked.
Sighing in relief in the changed of topic, the girls smiled.
"Griffindor!" they both said and then giggled. The boy smiled and looked at them. There he gazed at the two most beautiful beings he had ever seen. Their laugh and smile eased the pain in his heart. He didn't know why but it was pleasant.
"By the way," Jamie looked at him with a smile. "We didn't get you name." Both girls looked at him expecting an answer. Smiling the boy stood.
"I am called Lin by my friends, my ladies," he bowed. The cousins looked at each other and smiled. When he sat, the snack trolley came and the lady smiled at them.
"Anything off the trolley, dears?" she asked. Before either girl could say anything, Lin was already up and near the trolley. They didn't even notice when he stood just that he was already there.
Looking at the cart, Lin picked a few items of each and paid the woman. Jamie looked at him curiously and Lily looked at the treats he had in his arms. Gently he placed the treats onto the vacant seat and smiled at the girls.
"Your pleasure ladies?" he asked as the girls looked at him in amazement. Then smiling at each other, they agreed that they would love him as a friend.

"First years this way!" a large man with a heavy accent called as all the students got off the train. Jamie and Lily smiled as they recognized the voice. Smiling happily, they went up to the large man.
"Hello, uncle Hagrid!" both girls exclaimed. The giant beamed at them as the came closer.
"Why hello there," he said. "I see that the boys will have their hearts broken by you two." They blushed and turned, only to find Lin standing right behind them. "I see you already have a victim."
"Uncle Hagrid!" both girls exclaimed as the blushed furiously. They looked at Lin only to find him looking at Hagrid in awe. They sighed in relief that he was not looking at them.
"Anyway, let's go. Don't want the others to wait," Hagrid said as he led the first years to the school.
*** ***
Both girls giggled as they saw the awe in Lin's face as they entered the great hall. It was like his first time to see something magical. Granted, there are students behind them that felt the same but Lin seemed more intrigued.
"The roof is enchanted to look like the night sky," Lily said softly making Lin turn to her.
"It's in Hogwarts: A History," Jamie smiled at him. "Mum made us read it before we even got our letters."
"It might come in handy," Lin said and smiled at them. A teacher's voice interrupted them and they all listened.
"Welcome to Hogwarts," the witch said. The cousins gaped as the saw who it was. "My name is Professor Virginia Potter and I'm your charms teacher. When I call your names please come forward and I will place the sorting hat on you and you will be sorted into your houses."
Lily sighed as she looked at her mother the professor. "So that's why she was giggling like a little girl," she looked at her cousin with an annoyed look. "You knew, didn't you?" Jamie held an innocent face but Lily knew she was faking it. Sighing, she looked at the teacher's table and looked in surprise. She knew that her father was the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher and her Aunt Hermione was teaching transfiguration, replacing Professor McGonagall who became Minister of Magic. But she was surprised to see her Uncle Ron chatting with Cho Chang, the new potions mistress replacing Snape who had become An Auror for the ministry.
"What is Uncle Ron doing here?" Lily asked Jamie. It seemed that her family kept it from her.
"Didn't I tell you?" Jamie said brightly. "Dad's the new muggle studies teacher. But we won't have him until our third year," she said in a matter of fact. Before Lily could argue, her name was called.
"Lily Potter," Ginny called her daughter. One could not mistake the amount of pride in her voice.
"Go Lily!" on of the higher years called. Looking back she found a group of red heads in the Griffindor table. She sighed but smiled at her cousins. There were four of them actually.
There was Charlie's son Anthony, Bill's daughter Mona, Percy's twins Paige and Patrick. All of them were cheering her on. As the sorting hat was on her head she heard the hat speak.
"Hmmm. You're like your mother, shy but loyal. And also your father, wanting to prove yourself. I know the best place for you. GRIFFINDOR!" the hat shouted the last word and the Griffindor table erupted with cheer. Looking at her mum, she gave her a shy smile and proceeded to the Griffindor table.
Jamie smiled at her cousin as she saw her sit. Now she was nervous. She had rarely been far from her "twin" and was afraid to be separated.
"Jamie Weasley!" Ginny called, giving her the same kind of smile she gave Lily. She sat and the hat was on her head.
"Hmmm. You have great knowledge but also are capable of great mischief. I know where to put you. GRIFFINDOR!" Cheers could be heard again. Jamie sat beside Lily and they looked at the last person to be sorted.
Ginny's eyes widen in surprised as she looked at the parchment then to Lin. Lin smiled at her and she smiled back but sill held her confusion. Harry looked at his wife to see what was wrong. But when she called the boy's name it was clear.
"Angelin... Valina," she said softly. The boy walked toward the stool and put on the hat. While the hat was deciding, Lily and Jamie couldn't help but notice the look in their parent's faces. They seemed confused but amazed. Then the hat decided.
"GRIFFINDOR!" the hat said. There were cheers in the Griffindor table. Lin removed the hat and looked at Ginny. Ginny looked at him lovingly like she had found a long lost child.
Even Lily and Jamie noticed this but the saved a seat for him. Right in the middle of them. Lily noticed that The Headmaster, Professor Dumbledore was smiling at the three of them. But couldn't figure out why. Then the wise wizard stood and all listened.
"I welcome you to Hogwarts and before the feast, a few rules. As usual, every student is forbidden to enter the Forbidden Forest. Please be advised that we have two new teachers. Professor Potter," he pointed to Ginny, "Will be your new charms, as she had mentioned. And Professor Weasley will be teaching muggle studies. That being said, let the feast... begin!"
*** ***
Harry, Ginny, Ron and Hermione looked at their children eating at the Griffindor table. Lily and Jamie occasionally stole glances at them and gave them quick waves. Quickly their attention changed to the boy sitting in between them.
"I warned Jamie about boys," Hermione sighed. Ron chuckled and looked at his sister.
"You should have taught them wards to repel them, Ginny," he laughed.
"I don't think it will work," Harry said giving them a smile.
"I think they look cute," Ginny said to the surprise of the others.
"I don't want my little girl getting hurt," Hermione said with a smirk. But smiled as she saw Lin talking to her daughter. She seemed happy that he was there and so did Lily.
"If he's who we think he is, he'll protect them at the cost of his life," Harry said as he looked at his daughter somehow being a little open to Lin. His wife looked at his with a sad smile.
"He has her mother's compassion and his father's spirit. And more," she sighed.
"I was talking about their hearts," Hermione sighed but laughed at the Weasley clan surrounded the boy.
"Looks like he being given the Weasley look over," Ron smiled. "If he broke their hearts the whole clan will be after him," he joked.
"It's more likely HE'S the one who's going to have a broken heart," Cho said as she leaned over and smiled at them. "Is he the child of..."
"I'm not sure but it's possible," Ginny said as she looked at her friend. "His spirit is strong and his soul is filled with..." Ginny looked at him and sighed. "He's hiding his emotions. Let's just skip this until a better time." Everyone agreed but looked at the boy one last time.
"This should be an interesting year," Harry mused as he looked at his friends.
"Anyway," Ron smiled and looked at his beloved. "If he's who we think he is... he'll rise from the grave to protect our daughters."
Silently, they agreed.
End of 2
A/n: Why is Cho in the picture? I'm working on that. Just keep your shirt on. Anyway, forgive me if I don't spell Hagrid's dialogue right. Can't seem to get his accent. Just try and imagine him talking. It worked for me. Another thing is Snape as an Auror? Well it HAS been fourteen years.
Want me to make a story in between the two stories? Just a thought.
Anyway, please review. I needed to know what works. Thanks.
