Soon Emily and Rose found themselves on the platform of 9 ¾'s on their way to their final year.

"Emmie Bear!" Emily rolled her eyes but held a smile on her face as she turned around to see James Potter running over to her. Back in fifth year she convinced her parents to let her stay with the Potters. It was during that summer that James gave Emily this nickname, and he has been the only one that has been allowed to call her that.

As James made it to her side she was engulfed in a hug only the elder Molly Weasley could compete with.

"It's nice to see you too Jamie Bear." Emily said as she escaped from James' grip. When she had pulled away from the hug she was greeted by the rest of the Potter family.

"Hello Emily." Replied Lily as she pulled in for a hug, "We missed you this summer." Lily had always been a very polite girl.

"I missed you all too, it was sooo boring having to spend it with my Dad's quidditch team. Don't get me wrong I love quidditch as much as anyone but there is something as too much of a good thing."

"Hey Em, you look…nice" Albus said with a blush spreading across his face as he looked her up and down. James elbowed him in the ribs further spreading the blush.

"I dare say I must agree with you Al, so Emmie, who are you all dressed up for?" It was now Emily's turn to blush.

"No one" she mumbled, as Rose gave her friend a look.

"Hey Al!" Shouted a voice that caused Rose to blush and a grin to appear on her face.

"Oh is Al the only one you care about."

"Oh Hey, Rose." Scorpius pulls Rose into a loving hug before giving her a peck on the check. "Missed you babe"

"You saw me just last week."

"A week is too long."

"Ughhh….way to kill the mood." Said James making the face of a five year old seeing the sweet exchange.

"Shut it James." Rose socked her cousin in the arm.

"You both better watch out, here comes Uncle Ron." Albus added seeing Rose's parents headed towards the group. Immediately Scorpius took his arm off of Rose.

"Hello Sir." Scorp held out his hand to Mr. Weasley. "It's great to see you this fine morning."

Ron ignored the hand and muttering something inaudible under his breath.

"For goodness sakes Ronald, It's a pleasure to see you Scorpius." Hermione butt in seeing how her husband was behaving. "Oh Emily look at you, you've grown into such a beautiful young lady."

"Thanks Mrs. Weasley." Emily mumbled blushing.

"Oh dreary you know you can call me Hermione, you're practically family. That skirt is the work of my daughter no doubt; I am surprised she convinced you to wear it." Emily blushed harder. "Speaking of my lovely daughter, your father and I are going to miss you sweetie. You and Emily better keep these two boys inline." Said Hermione.

"Will do Mom, I'll miss you guys." Rose said giving both of her parents hugs. "Well we better get on the train, wouldn't want it to leave without us."

Emily, Rose, Scorpius, Albus, and Lily made their way for the train.

"Hold on Emmie Bear, can I talk to you for a second?" James said grabbing Emily's arm.

"Sure?" Emily said questioningly.

"I'll grab your trunk." Albus being ever so gentlemen like, but there was something in his eye that said he wasn't really all that happy with the closeness of the pair. Could it be jealousy?

As soon as the group left the pair behind James started. "Don't think I forgot about our conversation earlier, so who are you all dressed up for?"

"Jamie…"

"You better answer me Emmie, unless you were answering in which case I'm flattered but I don't see you like that Emmie Bear." James said cheekily.

"Please don't tell anyone…..it's your brother." Emily couldn't see her face but she was sure it was a red as a Weasley right now.

"Albus!"

"What?" came a voice from behind the pair. Albus was running up to them from a distance. "We got a compartment; I didn't want you to get lost. We better hurry though, the train is about to leave."

"Ok, Bye Jamie." The still red Emily said as Albus grabbed her hand to pull her along. James looked at the pair with suggestive eyes seeing their interaction.

"So what were you and my brother talking about that got you so red there Em?"

"nothing…" Emily sputtered into her sweater. Albus' grip on Emily grew tighter and the tips of his ears went a little red with anger, something he gained from his mom's side of the family.

When they made it to the compartment with everyone the awkwardness seemed to disappear. Emily saw that Lily had left them, probably to join her friends, but they had gained two other people in their party. Stephan Goyle, who was a lad that Albus and Scorpius roomed with and was one of their other best friends, and Alice Longbottom, she was a Gryffindor but had grown up with both the Weasley/Potter family and the Wood family. Alice was one of Rose and Emily's closest friends despite being in a different house. Alice had also admitted to her feeling for the third party of the boys. She had fallen for Goyle. Her father was a teacher at the school and the head of her house so she didn't dare to try and make something of the relationship. She didn't know how her Dad would feel about her falling for a Slytherin, let alone a Goyle. Stephan's father wasn't one of the nicest people to Professor Neville back when they went to school together. However Stephan was quite the gentlemen and was actually one of the best Herbology students since Professor Neville himself.

"Alice!" yelled Emily excitedly seeing her other best friend. The pair hugged before settling down into their places. Alice was sitting on one side of Stephan and Emily sat on the other side, while Albus sat across from Emily and next to Rose and Scorpius.

"It's nice to see you too Stephan."

"And it's always a pleasure to see you too Emily."

The group settled in, some playing Exploding Snaps, others gossiping, and some taking well needed naps before they made it to Hogwarts for their last and final years.
