The next few weeks went by in blur. Needless to say, Vernon was furious at Petunia for going behind his back. Every day he shouted about how dare she tell that girl about her magic lineage and buying the cat without consulting him. Dudley and Abigail spent a few days trying to decide what to name their owl and cat. Since both were girls they decided to look in their new books. While reading Hogwarts a history Dudley found the name of Ravenclaws founder and so he named his cat Rowena. Abigail had taken longer to find hers she skimmed page after page and it wasn't until she was looking through her History of Magic book that she found it. She named her owl Hedwig.

Petunia and Dudley were escorting Abigail to Kings Cross tomorrow. Dinner was quite tense. Vernon refused to acknowledge any of them. Dudley just happened to make it worse not on purpose of course. He was bouncing up and down on his chair excited when Vernon slammed his fists down on the table. "I told you I wouldn't allow it how do you plan to get there if I have the car tomorrow?" Everyone sat there silently. They had agreed that they would not tell him any crucial details. Vernon assuming, he won smiled and continued to eat. After dinner both Dudley and Abigail got ready for bed.

As Abigail was getting into bed she pulled out the album again. Paging through it she cried and cried. She was happy and sad but didn't know how to deal with. Petunia came in and saw Abigail crying. She ran over and embraced her. "What's the matter sweetheart?" "It's not fair they should be here with us. They should have seen all my firsts and seen me get my letter," sobbed Abigail. Petunia looked at her niece and tears reached the brim of her eyes. "I wish I could take away all the pain, but I can't as much as I try I can't protect you from everything."

She tucked Abigail in and started to sing to her:

"One thousand years ago this story starts There were four sorcerers with strong and kind hearts Bold Gryffindor from wild moor Fair Ravenclaw from glen Sweet Hufflepuff from valley broad Shrewd Slytherin from fen They had a dream to teach all that they knew Witches and wizards came far and it grew 'Til a castle stood tall by the shores of a lake And a thousand years later the magic remains Old Hogwarts Sorting Hat sing me a song Speak in my head tell me where I belong And when things look bad and there's nowhere to run Unite all the houses and we'll fight as one Brave Godric Gryffindor favored the strong Those who had courage and knew right from wrong And Rowena Ravenclaw taught only the best So kind Helga Hufflepuff would teach all the rest But Salazar Slytherin had his own plans He thought the Muggle-borns didn't understand The subtleties of magic and so he devised The Chamber of Secrets with a monster inside Old Hogwarts Sorting Hat sing me a song Speak in my head tell me where I belong And when things look bad and there's nowhere to run Unite all the houses and we'll fight as one Old Hogwarts Sorting Hat sing me a song Speak in my head tell me where I belong And when things look bad and there's nowhere to run Unite all the houses and we'll fight as one Unite all the houses and we'll fight as one."

Petunia stood up as she closed the door. She had heard her sister sing that Lullaby to Abigail one day when they had been in London. Although Lily hadn't been aware that Petunia had been nearby. The next morning Abigail woke to her cousin making as much noise humanly possible. Abigail sleepily went downstairs to see Vernon trying to take Rowena away from Dudley. Poor Dudley was howling. "You will not have an animal Dudley." "Bu-Bu-But why not," he sobbed. Petunia came in and took the cat from Vernon. "Get out of this house Vernon, Rowena stays." Vernon looked like he wanted to say something else but left. In the ten years since Abigail had arrived here there were only three at the table. At ten in the morning the three trudged out to the drive to the cab that Aunt Petunia had called for London. The Driver helped load the trunk for Abigail.

At Kings Cross they loaded the trunk onto a trolley. As the three weaved in and out of groups of people they eventually saw the Grangers waiting for them. "Hermione!" Abigail shouted as she ran to hug her friend. The girls hugged happy to see each other after a month. Petunia and Dudley walked up to Mr. and Mrs. Granger. "Were you told how to get onto the Platform?" asked Petunia. "Sort of but it was confusing for us to understand. We're still trying to wrap our heads around the fact Hermione is magical," said Mrs. Granger.

"Well we are going to walk straight at the wall between platform nine and ten. Although it generally doesn't work for non-magic people if we are guardians or parents of the child we can go through until they graduate."

As Petunia and Dudley line up, they walked through the barrier as if it was nothing. Next Hermione and Abigail walked together holding hands. As they came through on the other side there was the train that would take them to Hogwarts. The Hogwarts express billowing smoke as the Grangers came through last and were in just as much aw as the three children. The only person not surprised was Petunia. Hermione poked Abigail and Dudley. "Look" They looked up and saw a sign that read:

Platform nine and three quarters Hogwarts Express.

Hermione, Dudley, and Abigail ran onto the train to find a compartment. It seemed that they walked forever before they found one that was empty. As they were attempting to put the trunks in the storage shelf two red heads poked their heads in. "Hey, would you like a hand?" The three turned and smiled nodding "That would be great thanks," said Abigail. The two boys lifted the trunks onto the shelf and turned looking for a third. "Isn't there a third one?" "No, I'm not magic I just came on board to help," said Dudley. "So, you're a muggle?" "What's a muggle?" asked Abigail. "Non magic people. It's not meant to be offensive or anything."

Abigail was putting Hedwig's cage up when her bangs fell to the side. As she turned around there were three mouths hanging open. "What?"

"Where did you get that?" asked Hermione

"Oh, my scar forever I guess."

"You don't mean…" said one twin

"She is"

"What?" said Abigail.

"You're Abigail Potter" said Hermione

"Yea I wasn't trying to keep it a secret or anything I just didn't know if it was important."

The twins looked at her for a moment before a voice floated through the window.

"Fred? George? Are you there?"

"Coming, Mom."

With an evil look at Abigail the twins grabbed her arms and hopped off the train with Hermione and Dudley trailing after them. The five of them stopped in a group of red heads six total to be exact. The mum was telling each of her children she loved them and told the twins they had better behave. "Hey mum guess who this is?" The twins pushed Abigail forward and she nearly stumbled over her own feet.

"Fred. George did you drag this poor girl away from her family. Honestly you two," huffed the mother.

"We would never do that we just helped her on the train. Her name is Abigail. Abigail Potter"

As her name was said all the Weasleys turned to look at her. Abigail turned so red. Redder than the hair on the family's head. Suddenly a whistle sounded, and Abigail, Hermione, and Dudley could hear their families calling them.

"Oh, time to get on the train. It was a pleasure meeting you Abigail. If you have any questions you can ask my son Percy he's a Prefect," said the mother.

"Thank you."

The three ran off. Hermione hugged and kissed her parents' goodbye. As Abigail said Goodbye to her aunt and cousin. The two of them boarded the train together. As the train started to move she watched as Her Aunt, cousin, and Mr. and Mrs. Granger disappeared in the smoke. The girls started to chat excitedly about what Hogwarts would be like when the door slid open.

"Hi, we never introduced ourselves I'm Fred and this is my twin George."

"Hi, I'm Hermione and you already know Abigail."

"Do you mind if we join you for a while?"

"Not at all."

"Great! Oh, and this is our brother Ron," said George.

The five sat in the compartment together. Hermione proceeded to read her school books while George tormented Ron. Fred on the other hand was asking Abigail tons of questions. "So, Abigail what was it like not knowing your history?"

"It was a little odd I mean my aunt told me what she could, but my Uncle didn't want me to know so it made it tough for her."

Fred looked upset and Abigail though she said something wrong. "That's terrible how could anyone want to keep you from your past. Can I ask you something?"

"Sure"

"Do you remember what he looks like. You- Know-Who."

As Fred asked everyone in the compartment went silent. Hermione dropped her book and George stopped tormenting Ron. "No, I don't sorry. All I remember is this green flash and a high-pitched laugh. All I can assume is that is him." The rest of the morning went by quickly. Sometime later a lady with the snack cart came by. Abigail bought a little bit of everything, so she could share with her new friends. As they all sat and were eating a little boy cam and knocked on the door.

"I've lost my pet toad have you seen it?"

All five heads shook their heads no. "I can help you look for it if you'd like," said Hermione. "Would you really!?" Hermione nodded set her book down and went to go look for the toad with the poor boy. The rest of the ride was quiet. Hermione returned telling them that the boy whose name turns out to be Neville found his toad it was in with the Prefects carriage. When they were about ten minutes away Hermione and Abigail left to go change while the boys changed in the compartment. As they arrived Fred and George went towards carriages and direct the three to the boats.

Abigail notice a familiar figure "Hi Hagrid!" shouted Abigail. "Hello, Abigail no problems getting here I see." She shook her head as all the first years loaded in the boats to cross the lake. The ride across the lake was quicker than she would have thought but as quickly as it started it ended. As they climbed the stairs she suddenly remembered from the book that she read earlier last week that you get sorted into houses. "Hey Hermione, which house do you think you'll be in?" asked Abigail. "I'm not sure but I would love to be in Ravenclaw. You?"

"I don't know they all have their positive points."

Suddenly they came to a stop. Hagrid opened the doors and ushered them into the grand foyer. He left through a door and all the first years were alone to gaze at the castle.
