Introduction
Harry, Ron, and Hermione waved goodbye smiling, though Lilly looked less than pleased.
"Daddy it's not fair!" she said, stomping her feet.
"It's sooner than you think," Harry said, dragging Lilly out of the station.
She moaned but didn't argue.
"Let's go home, then me and you can bake some cookies, ok?" Ginny asked.
" Ok," Lilly said, sounding a little more excited.
Hogwarts
"You're going to be in slytherin! You're going to be in slytherin!" James chanted.
"Give poor Albus a break," Rose said, rolling her eyes. "And why do I have to always be the one who makes peace between you two," she said, crossing her arms so tight it must have hurt.
"Because they like you," Teddy said grinning.
Which made Hugo laugh.
"Shut up," Rose said angrily.
Albus sat knees to his chest. Rose put her hand on his shoulder, he was glad no one could see his face, because it was probably as red as a rose.
"When is the trolley cart coming," Hugo said changing the subject.
"I don't know, but what I do know is even though Headmistress Mcgonagall has never met me I know I'm going to be her favorite, so I'll go ask the person driving this thing," James said smirking.
With that James ran off to the front of the train, when he got back he smiled
"It will be here in probably at least five minutes," he said.
"How?" Rose asked.
"Oh, I told him that I was Mconagall's son and I was hungry and if the trolley cart didn't come in five minutes I'd tell mcgonagall, and all he did was nod," James said smiling at Rose.
And as James predicted the trolley cart came in five minutes, but the lady pushing the cart looked less than pleased.
"What would you like," she said dully.
"Ten chocolate frogs, five every flavor jelly beans, five lollipops, and five of those chocolate Harry Potter glasses. Are those new?" James said, bouncing up and down.
"That would be 4 sickles, and yes the chocolate glasses are new, we made them in honor of Harry Potter." The Lady said
"Here's the 4 sickles," Rose said, glaring at James.
She handed the treats to Rose.
"Hey! Those were the treats I ordered!" James pouted.
"Well this young lady paid," The Lady said.
And with that The Lady stormed off.
Rose then handed out one of each treat to everyone.
"Hey, James watch out for your girlfriend, right now I'm pretty sure she wants to kill you, and dang she's got The Glare," Teddy said smiling so wide it must of hurt.
Everyone laughed except for James and Rose.
"Yum, these Harry potter glasses are good," Albus said quietly.
"I agree," Rose said, staring out the window.
"I hope Luna's there, I heard that she is the helper in herbology," Hugo said, pulling some leaf out of his pocket.
"Yeah," Rose said, fidgeting with a locket Luna had given her.
Albus nodded as he pulled a silver moon keychain, James pulled out a coin that was originally for the DA but Luna had an extra.
"I can't believe Luna gave Lilly the diadem of Ravenclaw," said Albus, staring at his feet. Disappointed that she had given it to lilly instead of him.
"HOGWARTS!!"James yelled at the top of his lungs.
Albus gasped, Rose smiled, Hugo's jaw dropped, Teddy raised his eyebrows and as always he smirked.
Once the train came to a halt, all the kids got out. They climbed into the carriage pulled by Thestrals,
"Wow, the carriages move by themselves," Teddy said, this time he actually sounded serious.
"No, they're Thestrals," Rose said, rolling her eyes.
"Dad told me stories about them, you can only see them if you've seen death, but dad told us that we were taking the boats," Albus said.
Hugo shivered.
"It's ok," Rose said softly.
"Hey, we stopped," James said confused.
Everybody out," yelled a rough voice.
As everyone got out Rose said, "That must be Hagrid and Maxime!"
"Why is Maxime here?," said James.
"They got married," said a quiet voice.
Teddy, Rose, Albus, Hugo, and James turned around to find a girl with long blond hair, a shy smile and beautiful blue eyes.
"I'm Alice Lovegood," she said. "What's your name?"
"I'm James Potter," James said, smiling his best smile.
I'm Albus Potter and we have a younger sister named Lilly Potter," Albus said.
"And I'm Rose Weasly," Rose said.
"I'm Hugo Weasly," Hugo said, fussing with his hair.
"Oh and I'm Teddy Lupin," Teddy said, dramatically bowing.
"Well let's see what the hold up is," James said, grabbing Alice's hand,
Hugo's jaw dropped, and he also gave James' 'I'll get you back for that' look.
They walked toward the rest of the crowd. And there was Maxime and Hagird, they were standing next to a boy who looked a whole lot like Hagrid.
"There's Russell," Alice said, smiling sweetly.
"Who's Russell?" Albus said, sounding slightly confused.
"He's Hagrid's and Maxime's only child," Alice said quietly.
"ALRIGHT SINGLE FILE INTO THE CASTLE," Hagrid yelled happily.
Then everyone followed Russell, for the most part it was quiet, but there were a few whispers here and there.
Then James now remembered that he was still holding Alice's hand. He yanked his hand free.
"I'm… I'm… I'm… so sorry," Alice said, running off.
"What did you do?" Teddy said, running after Alice.
"Don't even bother saying 'nothing'," Rose said, crossing her arms.
"But…" James stammered.
"Don't even think about it," Rose said sternly.
James held his hands up.
Then Alice and Teddy came back, Alice was laughing and Teddy was smirking way too wide. And when James saw them holding hands he blew his top. James ran behind Teddy and punched him in the back ,and ran away. Then Teddy gently let go of Alice's hand, then ran after James shouting,
"I'M GOING TO GET YOU AND WHEN I DO YOU'RE GOING TO BE IN TROUBLE!"
Then Rose ran after them. When she got back two minutes later, she was holding both of them up in the air, and both of them apologized and decided NOT to get on Rose's bad side.
"Rose, are you ok, you are kinda pale," Albus said, tilting his head.
"I'm fine," she said. "Hey, we're almost inside Hogwarts!" she exclaimed.
They all walked slowly into the castle, and took a moment to enjoy all the breathtaking sights.
"It's better than I imagined," Rose whispered to her friends.
"Wow," was all Teddy could manage.
"Quite lovely isn't it," Alice said softly.
As they walked to the Great Hall there were many gasps from the first years, as they looked around at all the wonder.
"First years line up in front of me the rest of you know where to go," Mcgonagall said.
All the first years shuffled to get to Mcgonagall, once they were in a messy line, it all began…
The Sorting Hat
"Now that you all are acquired, it is time to bring out The Sorting Hat!" Mcgonagall exclaimed, smiling.
Then a small wrinkled creature came out of the corner. The creature set a ugly looking, patched hat with a large cut close to the bottom. James thought Mcgonagall had surely gone crazy, possibly too much butterbeer? Hugo, Teddy, and Albus were just as confused as James. Though the girl seemed it to be perfectly normal, so Teddy tapped Alice's shoulder and whispered,
" Do you know why there's such an ugly hat sitting on a stool?"
" Your parents told you nothing about The Sorting Hat?" Alice whispered back.
" Nothin'," Teddy said.
" Well then you'll see soon," she smiled sweetly yet mischievously.
