Garrick had Jamesia went first, which may have been a mistake as wands went everywhere during Jamesia trying outs for wands. In the end, 11", Holly, phoenix feather chose her. Garrick told them that Jamesia's wand is the brother to the dark lord's wand and was going to say more, but Lara stops him. Lillian went next, she was chosen by 10¼", Willow, Unicorn hair; Garrick was amazed as Lillian's wand was the same type of the late Lily Potter. Giselle knew that type of wand would choose Lillian as she had her late aunt's spirit.
Garrick had Morgan go next, Giselle watches as Morgan like Jamesia causes chaos in the shop until 12", Ivy, Phoenix feather chose her. Giselle smiled at that, just as Ramona went after her and the one who had chosen her is 10¼", Cherry, dragon heartstring. Giselle raises an eyebrow, that wood and core make a powerful and lethal wand. Giselle watches her daughter go last and the wand that chose her is 12", Blackthorn, dragon heartstring. Now that all of them got their wands, they went to Potage's Cauldron Shop to get cauldrons for the girls and maybe for her and Lara as she can teach Lara to use cauldrons.
Giselle decided to buy two Self-Stirring Cauldrons for Lara and herself while buying Pewter Cauldrons for the girls. The next stop, they went to was Wiseacre's Wizarding Equipment for Brass scales, telescopes, sets of glass or crystal phials or maybe both who knows. Afterward, they went to their last shop was owned by Scamander's Owls and Beasts, a shop that sells owls, magical beasts, and even muggle animals like cats, dogs, and so on. They ended up buying the girls and Lara owls and other animals. They were now ready to go to Platform Nine and Three-Quarters.
When they were at Platform Nine and Three-Quarters by Giselle's shortcut from Diagon Alley. They walked toward the barrier, that where Jamesia notices a family of redheads with the mother yelling. She turns to Lara who looks at the family and narrowed her eyes at the mother. Lara told Jamesia and the girls to just keep moving, they kept on doing so until they stopped at the wall. One by one they ran through the wall with Lara right behind Giselle.
Jamesia looks at the train with excitement, she turned toward Lara and hugged her; before pushing her cart toward the train. She didn't hug Giselle as Jamesia knows that she going to be a Professor in Hogwarts for some class. She chose a compartment but had to have two members of that redhead family to help her put some of her things away. The introduces themselves as Fred and George Weasley, they already seemed to know who she was. She sat down on the seat just as her cousins and Ramona entered the compartment to sit with her.
"That's was mean you know, going before us and not hugging my dear mother," Sirin told Jamesia, but Jamesia can see amusement in her eyes
"You know as well as I do that's she going to be a Professor at Hogwarts, she's going on this train too," Jamesia said to her cousin
It's been ten years since Lara took Jamesia in and raised her as her own alongside Morgan. Jamesia and Morgan love each other like sisters, but sometimes they act like Lara and Lara hates it, even though Giselle is amused by it all and gets even amuses by her daughter joining forces with the other two. It's also been ten years since Giselle came back with a frown on her face and had told Lara that's she was too late for something. Giselle never told her what she was late for, but Lara couldn't focus on that as she now had two girls to raises. Ten years since the Potters' death and Lara's friend Sam had to go into hiding, not even Lara knows where.
Now it's September 1st, 2023 and Giselle said the British Wizarding World still living in the dark ages. Morgan and Sirin are soon to be twelve on September 30 and November 3rd but will be going to Hogwarts along with their cousins. Jamesia and Lillian are now eleven-year-old, they were going to Diagon Alley to get their supplies as they all had gotten up early and so will have enough time to get them. Lara was in her office, which was her fathers before his death at the hands of Trinity. She was looking at the picture of all of them, Jonah who's a friend of Lara, Giselle, Morgan, Jamesia, Sirin, and Lillian.
Lillian is Petunia's daughter with her husband Vernon and is a Muggle-born witch, who Giselle decided to raise. Lillian was found out to be a witch by Giselle's visions, which had told her that Petunia would've dropped her off at an orphanage in disgusts. Giselle went to the Dursleys and told Petunia who after seeing Clarissa's magic was all too happy to get rid of the witch in the family. Lara once asks if Giselle was going to changes Lillian's name, but Giselle only smiled at her. That's the one thing she hated about her cousin, Giselle would always give Lara a creepy and yet kind smile after getting a vision.
Lillian doesn't look like her parents at all and instead, she looks like the spitting image of her Aunt Lily, but with golden blond hair and sapphire blue eyes. When Lillian turned ten on January 30th of last year, which irony was her late aunt Lily's birthday; Giselle had told her everything surrounded the reason why she was being raised by her. Giselle then gave Lillian a choice to keep her surname or changes it to the names she would be giving her. Lillian chose to change it and Giselle gave her a list of names, included her mother's maiden name. Lillian chose to be renamed as Lillian Giselle Evans, after the woman who saved her and for Aunt Lily who she named after; which also proves that her mother still loved Lily even if she can't admit it.
Giselle took Lillian to two places the first being Gringotts to have Lillian's name be her legal name. The other place, they went too is unknown to Lara as Giselle wouldn't say expect to give Lara that smile, she hated so much. Lara swears Giselle only doing it as she knows Lara hates it. Lara looks up from that picture when she heard Morgan's yell for her.
"Coming" Lara yell as she stood up and walk toward the door
Lara walked out of her office, she continued walking downstairs just to see Giselle and the girls all ready to go. Lara and Giselle let the girls go first into the fireplace with the powder. Lara and Giselle went next together, while Lara is thinking about how the girls will handle themselves at Hogwarts. Once they were all in Diagon Alley, the first stop they made was Gringotts as they needed gold. Once they had enough, they went to Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions for their uniforms.
When they entered Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions, they met Draco Malfoy the son of Lucius Malfoy, and Narcissa Malfoy nee Black. Lara had met Lucius Malfoy before and didn't even know it. It was on a job that she was on, she was trying to find a tomb for Gringotts, and some wizards and witches were looking for it as well. Lara had to kill some of them just to get out after she found and gotten what she needed and wanted. Some of them lived with only flesh wounds and then some when Giselle showed Lara pictures of the Malfoy family; she recognizes Lucius Malfoy.
Lara watches as young Malfoy tried to insult her daughter and Lillian for being Muggle-borns, which earns him a bloody nose from Morgan's fist. Jamesia just stood there as she was getting fitted for her uniform. Sirin was laughing her butt off and the door of the shop opened to reveal a confused Ramona. Ramona introduces herself to Jamesia, Sirin, Morgan, and Lillian. Lara looks sadly at Ramona and the girls as when Sam went into hiding and still in hiding, Ramona went to live with her paternal grandfather; when that happened Ramona and the girls never had the chance to grow up together as Lara and Sam wanted for Morgan and Ramona.
Giselle was amused as Ramona talked to the girls while ignoring the whining Malfoy. Giselle waited with Lara as all the girls got their uniforms, she turned her head to see Lyall Lupin the Pureblood grandfather of Ramona and her legal guardian. She looks back at Ramona and knew that despite her father being a werewolf, Ramona didn't get that gene. Remus her father now knows about her and about her not being a werewolf, but he didn't want her to have the Lupin name and Giselle gets that. Remus still has fears for his daughter, if Ramona had the Lupin name people would still treat her differently for being the daughter of a "beast".
When the girls were done, they went to Obscurus Books for their textbooks and more as it's heaven for the girls and Lara of course. Giselle watches as Lara and the girls look for books, which would leave her and Lyall to get their textbooks. She and Lyall gave each other smiles with amusement in their eyes as they look for textbooks. After getting all the books they needed and wanted, all of them went to their next shop. The next shop happens to be Ollivanders Wand Shop when they enter the owner Garrick Ollivander look excited to see Giselle and the others.
"Miss. Potter, Miss. Croft, Miss. De Mornay, Miss. Evans and Miss. Nishimura; welcome" Garrick said to the girls
"Do you know which subject she's going to teach?" Ramona asks her new friends, and Lillian turned her head toward Ramona
"She's going to teach Potions, which was being taught by Severus Snape," Lillian answered Ramona
"Why? What happened" Ramona asks, which causes the other three smirked
"Well it's happened on my eleventh birthday; Severus Snape was perhaps ordered by Dumbledore to crash it and kidnapped my little sis/cousin here- "Morgan was interrupted
"I'm not little- "Jamesia was saying, but she too was interrupted
"Yes, you are" Morgan and the other two said together, causing Jamesia to pout
"As I was saying, while we're celebrating my birthday Jamesia was reading a book about my mother's adventures that Giselle had written, mostly to annoy my mother. It's her favorite past time- "
"It's is, and Lara keeps on giving what she wants." Sirin agreed with Morgan, knowing how her mother works
"Yes, so Snape tried, and the keyword being try, to kidnapped Jamesia. First let me tell you that being in the care of Lara Croft the Tomb Raider, we are targets to get to my mother. So, my mother had Jamesia and I as well as Sirin and later Clarissa trained to fight; so, we know how to protect ourselves. So, when Snape tried to take Jamesia-well we don't know what she did and still don't as she won't tell us, but- "
"Snape was on the floor; his nose was broken and so was one of his arms. I'm sure it was his wand arm." Sirin finishes for Morgan
"Lara was furious and so was Giselle as before Giselle called Amelia Bones to come and collect him. They had their lovely way with him and at the end of it; I saw fear in Snape's eyes. Giselle had Snape removed as the Head of Slytherin and Potion Professor, but Dumbledore saved him somewhat as he still in Hogwarts as the Potion master." Lillian said to Ramona
"Wow," Ramona said with her eyes wide
Jamesia, just smirked at that, after all, he did interrupt her reading and there's one thing, she hates someone interrupting on her reading time. She feels the train finally moving and so she leaned back to relax. She couldn't relax for long as a red-haired opened the compartment door and tried to tell them every other compartment was full. Which they all could tell it's was bull and it showed on their faces. The red-haired boy tried to demand one of them to move, so he can sit next to Jamesia Potter his best friend and future wife.
Jamesia just stood up, walked up to the boy, and stood in front of the boy. She smiled at him, before punching him right out of the doorway and closes the door. She sat back down and closes her eyes. Morgan watches her sister/cousin fall to sleep at the same time the door opens again. This time by a bushy brown-haired girl and a shy boy who lost his toad, Ramona decided to go and help them look for the said toad before the girl says something that most likely will earn her a bloody nose.
The last one to come to their compartment was Draco Malfoy, but he saw Morgan. Draco seems to decide that he doesn't want anything to do with them and go fled in fear, making Morgan smirk. They all waited by reading a book they had or doing what Jamesia was doing sleeping. When Ramona returned, she found all her friends expect Lillian sleeping, she sat down in her place after closing the door and just talk with Lillian. Ramona looks out the window and watches as things just go by, so fast.
