(Author's Note – Last chapter to a great story. Hope you guys have really enjoyed it. I will explain what is happening at the end of this chapter. There is a massive surprise at the end cause I wasn't going to make Sophie spend her summer holidays on the streets by herself. As before, I don't own Harry Potter, Enjoy this last chapter.)
Last time: The year was over. It was time to go home.
It was morning. I was still tired but I didn't care. I was still in bed, Little bell was cuddling up to me, I wonder what's going to happen with the School. I had to head down to the train so I started to pack my things, I got changed into my uniform and I decided to carried it down to the common room where I saw Hermione, reading a book with her things packed right next to her.
"Hogwarts, a History, I presume?" I said to her. She turned around and she was smiling at me.
"Yeah, this book was amazing." Hermione responded. "Did you know that Albus Dumbledore was a Gryffindor? I wanted to be in Gryffindor, just like him."
"You wanted to be in Gryffindor because of Dumbledore?" I asked her. She nodded her head. "Well, where did the hat wanted to put you?"
"It wanted to put me in Ravenclaw because I was smart and loyal but it also said I had bravely in my heart." She said. "What about you?" She asked me.
"It really wanted to put me in Slytherin but then it said I wasn't cunning enough to do so. So eventually, it did a bit if soul-searching and then it put me into Gryffindor." I answered.
"Hmm, looks like we both prove the hat wrong." She said.
"Yeah. Yeah, I suppose." I said.
"Ok, so do you want to head down to the train now?" Hermione asked.
"Of course." I said. She smile as we grab our things and left the common room to head down to the train. We had to walk down so many flights of stairs to the ground floor and with the musical stairs always changing and our luggage wasn't helping as much but eventually we made it down to the ground floor. "So Hermione, do you have any friends outside school. Well, technically anyone you speak to?" I asked.
"Well, not really." Hermione said. "There is this group I used to know. They bullying anybody that they considered to be nerds, and the easy people to pick on."
"They bullied you, did they?" I said. She went silent for a minute and she eventually said something.
"Yes." She reluctantly said. "Because I was a Know-It-All."
"Well, maybe I should meet them." I said. "Even show them why my parents were locked in prison."
"Sophie! Don't do that." Hermione said, shocked at me. "Beside, your not allowed to use magic outside school anyway, not until you're at least seventeen."
"Relax, Hermione." I said, chuckling. "I'm not going to use magic, but I might use my fist." Hermione just shoves me and I shoved her back. We both gave each other death stares before we burst laugh into laughter.
"So you will protect me against them?" She said.
"Just send a owl, and They will be crying to their moms by the time I'm done with them." I said.
"You're a good friend." Hermione said.
"Thanks." I said. "You are too." She smiles at that and then we entered the courtyard and eventually we walked down to the train station. When we arrived we saw the same train that took us to Hogwarts at the start of the year. There were loads of students that were putting their luggage away and boarding the train. We decided to do the same the Harry and Ron came from the blocks.
"Hey Harry." I said "How are you holding up?"
"I'm good." Harry said.
"And Ron?" I said.
"I'm good." He said. Then we saw Hagrid arrive on the platform. Harry smiled and ran over to him. He gave him a hug, oh that is so cute. Then I saw Hagrid give him a book. Harry was smiling about that as he came over to us.
"Is it a shame we have to go home?" Hermione said.
"I'm not going home." Harry said. "Not yet anyway." We entered the carriages and found the first compartment that was free and we all sat in it. Eventually, the train jolted off. We waived goodbye to Hagrid and he waived back as the train was pulling out of the station. Our first year was over. We were heading home. We were a hour into our trip and the lady was rolling around with the sweets. We got one of each plus some water and we happily dug in. Harry was looking at the book.
"What type of book did Hagrid give you?" I asked him.
"It's a picture book." Harry said. "Here, have a look." He handed the book over to me and I opened the first page and I saw a young baby with a ginger-hair lady with blue and a brown-haired man with green eyes and glasses. Then it hit me.
"Harry, are they your parents?" I said as I turn the book around to show him.
"Yeah." Harry said.
"They look so young." I said.
"I know." He said. "But turn the page." I turned the page and I saw the four of us. Smiling at each other.
"That's cool." I said as I gave the book back to him. "So what you guys are doing over the summer break?" I asked everyone.
"I don't go out much. The people I live with are not very nice." He said.
"My family's probably going to play Quidditch around the fields." Ron said.
"My parents work. So I'm going to do the work that the school has given us." Hermione said.
"What do your parents do, Hermione?" I asked.
"My parents are dentists." She answered.
"Dentists?" Ron asked.
"They work on your teeth." Hermione said.
What about you, Sophie?" Harry asked me.
"I don't know." I said. "I haven't really thought about it." Then the train started to slow down. Looks like we were approaching London. Then we saw the families waving to their kids as the train started grinding to a halt. I smiled at the waving families. Oh wait, there is no here for me. I just realised that my family isn't here. They are in a cell far, far away.
"Sophie?" Hermione said. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm alright." I said, trying my damn hardest not to let a tear fall out. We exited the train and we saw thousand of students meeting up with their parents. I was sad to think that I have none. We grabbed our stuff and Ron was very keen of me to meet his large family.
"Sophie, this is my mom." Ron said. "Mom, this is Sophie Lestrange."
"Ah, it is very nice to meet you." She said as she pulled me into a hug. God, she is squeezing the life put of me. "Ron told me a whole lot about you." I can see Ron's face go bright red. "This is Percy." He pointed to the tall boy. "Pleasure to meet you." He said, putting his hand out. I shake his hand. "These are the twins." Ron said. These two boys look the same.
"Fred." One said
"George." The other said.
"At your service." They said in unison.
"It is a pleasure" Fred said.
"-to meet such a." George said.
"-fine young lady." Fred said. I like that they finishes each other's sentences.
"And this is Ginny." Ron said. I can tell by her size that she is the youngest of the lot.
"Hello, I'm Ginny." She said. "I'll be going to Hogwarts , like you."
"Really?" I said. "I can't wait."
"POTTER" We heard a loud voice. "COME ON BOY I HAVEN'T GOT ALL DAY." I guess that is Harry's family.
"That's me." He said. "See you guys next year." He waved good-bye as the old man grab him and pulled him away.
"Well, Sophie. Is there anyone coming to pick you up?" Miss Wealsey asked me.
"Um, well." I said.
"You don't have anyone, do you?" Hermione said. I nodded. "Oh, no I forget."
"What?" Miss Wealsey said. "You have no one you live with?"
"Yes." I said with tears starting to come out.
"Oh, come here, dearly." She said while pulling me into a hug. "There, there." I just cried on her shoulder. "How about you stay at our place? We always got room for one more." I smiled at that idea as Hermione walked over to me. She pulled me into a hug. I like her hugs.
"Excuse me." A voice said. We turned around and saw two ladies. One was old, tall with black eyes and black-curly hair, wearing a green dress. The other was young, brown eyes with pink hair, wearing a short shirt and some jeans. I couldn't tell who they were. "Are you Sophie Lestrange?" She asked. I freaked out and hid behind Hermione. I was scared. How did they know me? I was now shaking with fear. They just chuckled as the older one approach me.
"Hey, don't be scared." She said. I wasn't so sure. "Do you like to know who I am?" I looked scared but nodded for her to say something.
"My name is Andromeda Tonks." She said. Andromeda Tonks, what a nice name. Wait, there is someone in my line by that name. She married a muggle so that means her name is Andromeda Black.
"Andro-Adre-a" I said but I couldn't get the name right.
"You can call Andy for short." Andromeda said.
"So, you're my family?" I said.
"Yes" She said. "I am your Auntie." I was smiling. For the first time in my life. I had a family. Then the younger one came up to me.
"Who is she?" I asked.
"This is Nymphedora Tonks." Andy said. "My beautiful daughter."
"You can call me Tonks for short." She said.
"Okay." I said.
"We are here to take you home." She said. I was so happy. I raced up and gave Andy a hug. She happily returned the flavor.
"I don't know what it's like to have a family." I said to them.
"You will know now." Tonks said. I smile at that. I turned around to see a happy smile on Hermione's face.
"You happy now? Hermione said.
"Yes. Yes I am. See you soon, Hermione. You too, Ron" I said to them.
"See ya, Sophie." Ron said.
"See you." Hermione said. I waved them good-bye as I held Andy's hand and walked away. For the first time, I had a family and that was the coolest thing ever to happen to me.
