-Another 4 years later-
Today is an amazing day. It is her first day. Lily Luna Potter had not slept at all last night. She was far too excited. Early this morning, Lily woke up and got dressed in her brand new outfit. She made sure that her trunk was packed and that everything was where it was supposed to be. She skipped down the stairs and almost screamed when she saw the calendar on the kitchen wall. September first. Lily smiled to herself to what felt like the seven millionth time since she got her Hogwarts letter. Today she was not going to be left behind as her brothers and her cousins got on the train. Lily's parents smiled at her as she walked into the kitchen and sat down. They talked about how grown up she was and shared stories about Hogwarts over breakfast but Lily didn't hear any of that. She was much to busy dreaming about tonight. She had heared about Hogwarts from her family a million times but she couldn't stop imagining what it would really be like. And now that she was finally going to get to go, she couldn't wait.
When they got to platform 93/4, the Potter family found the Weasleys helping put trunks on the train. They grown ups greeted eachother and chated about their kids and their lives. The kids talked in a group, except for Lily and Hugo, who stood there looking around at all the people bustling about. They had both been on the platform before, seeing off their cousins and siblings, but this time it was different. It was their day. They were the ones who got to board that train and ride to Hogwarts. Less than half an hour later, the Potter-Weasleys had said their goodbyes, loaded the train, and were getting ready to go. After a few more last-minute reminders and hugs, Lily, Hugo, James, Albus, Rose, Fred, Roxanne, Dominique, and Louis were off to Hogwarts.
Once on the train, Roxanne, James, Fred, and Louis ran off to find their friends, Dominique left to go to the prefects meeting, and Lily, Hugo, Albus, and Rose went to find their own compartment. On the way, Albus and Rose ran into two familiar faces. Lily couldn't see the girl because Rose had ran up and started hugging her so fast, but she did see her extremely blonde hair. Rose and the little girl were talking about their summers and didn't notice the amused looks on Albus and the other boy's faces. Once Lily had gotten tired of standing there awkwardly, she cleared her throat load enough to get her older brother's attention. Albus took the hint and said,"Oh, yeah, um Lily, Hugo, this is Bradley Jeffreys and Madison Wood. Brad, Madi, this is my sister, Lily, and Rose's brother, Hugo. They're first years."
"Oh my goodness. HI!" The really pretty blonde girl ran up and gave Lily and Hugo a hug. "You must be soooo excited to be coming to school! It's amazing there. I promise."
Lily and Hugo just stood there. Then, Albus remembered what they were supposed to be doing, finding somewhere to sit.
"So wer'e going to go find a compartment. Join us?"
The group of kids walked down the train until they found the last empty compartment, and took their seats.
Albus, Rose, Brad, and Madi spent most of the train ride talking and catching up. Lily and Hugo, on the other hand were looking out the window nervously. It had gotten dark a while ago so they knew that they were almost there by now. All of the other Weasley/Potter kids had dropped by a couple times and after a while Dominique came in and told them that they should get their school things on.
Finally, the train came to a stop. The students started bustling about, making sure they had anything and trying to get off the train as soon as possible. Once off the train, Hugo and Lily hear Hagrid's loud voice saying,"Firs' years! Ovah 'ear! This way!" And the two young kids hurried towards him and the boats.
