Shiva and Noctis walked through Kings cross. Unlike with the witches and wizards none of the mundanes stared as Espers and those blessed by Espers can move about invisible to mundanes (those who can not use magic or are not around magic often). They then heard a loud shrill voice yell out. "Every year it's packed with muggles. Fred what was the platform number again? 9 and 3/4?" the voice asked.
Noctis and Shiva both shuddered as the voice damaged their ear drums. They eventually saw that the voice belonged to a short plump red headed woman surrounded by red headed children most of which were Hogwarts age al except the littlest girl.
"Ten gold says that she is trying to be seen" Noctis bet his mom.
"Twenty says I freeze her" Shiva shot back with a smirk.
"Ah there you are do you need help getting through the barrier?" the plump woman asked grabbing hold of Noctis.
Instantly Noctis pulled himself away from her and swept his leg causing her to tumble to the ground. "Do not grab me again woman" he growled in annoyance.
"HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO ME YOUNG MAN" the woman shrieked.
"You grabbed me out of the blue and you are the one yelling at me? I did not ask you for any help nor did I even try and talk to you yet you grabbed me. Listen here and listen good" Noctis spat. "This wizarding world of yours is lacking in manners and common etiquette something that where i'm from can get you killed. Now apologize or shut up. I don't care which just leave me alone" saying that Noctis turned grabbed his mothers hand and walked through the barrier to platform 9 and 3/4.
"Noctis" Shiva said seriously. "I'm disappointed in you how could you do that? How could you put someone in their place and not freeze them?" she asked breaking into a grin.
"I figured i'd leave her for you" Noctis grinned back before suddenly giving his mother a hug. "I'm going to miss you mom" he whispered.
The change in Shiva was instant as she realised that her son would be gone she teared up and hugged him tight "i'm going to miss you too" she cried.
Suddenly Noctis was grabbed and forcefully yanked to the side. "How dare you do that to me you little brat" the woman from before seethed before turning to Shiva. "And you what the hell are you doing walking around in your undergarments like some sort of scarlet woman" she shrieked.
Shiva glared at the woman as the temperature dropped so low drinks froze, breath fogged and ice crept along the floor. "That is my son you are holding you bitch" she said in a frosty voice. "Let him go this instant or you will regret it. I am Shiva the Empress of Ice and Snow you are nothing compared to me. Now this is your last and only chance let go off my son and do not touch him again."
The woman's face was as red as her hair "how dare you talk to me like that!" she said indignantly.
Shiva glared and everyone watched in horror as Ice slowly crept up from the floor and covered the woman. "She will be released in ten minutes as I am not one to kill a child's parents in front of them" Shiva said coldly.
Shiva then turned to Noctis and instantly she was crying again as she rushed forward and hugged him "my big boy is all grown up going to his first day of school" she cried.
Noctis hugged her back tightly "i'm going to miss you mom. I'll write heaps I promise."
"You better young man or i'll ground you" Shiva joked weakly.
"Mom I have to go or i'll miss the train" Noctis commented trying to pull himself out of his mom's grip.
Reluctantly Shiva let him go and watched sadly as he boarded the train.
...
On the train Noctis found an empty compartment and settled inside pulling out a book on Esper runes to read.
Soon after he was joined by two blond girls one with a dreamy expression and one with a cold mask on her face and violet eyes and a nervous looking boy.
"H-hi I'm Neville" the boy muttered nervously.
"Hi Neville I'm Luna" the dreamy looking blond chirped.
"Daphne" the other girl said coldly.
Noctis looked up from his book "I'm Noctis nice to meet you" he smiled.
"What are you reading?" Neville asked curiously.
"Just a book about Esper runes and how they are used in enchanting" Noctis shrugged going back to his book.
Everyone fell into silence until Daphne asked a question "What's that on your hand?"
Noctis raised his gauntlet "it's my magical foci like your wand. It was a gift from my uncle" he replied.
"It must be nice having a dragon as an uncle" Luna said dreamily.
Daphne and Neville looked at Luna strangely but Noctis gave her a small wink.
"S-so what house do you think you will be in?" Neville asked the group.
"Slytherin" Daphne said straight away.
"Wit Beyond Measure is Man's Greatest Treasure" Luna sing songed.
"Don't know don't care" Noctis commented. "What about you?"
"I'll probably be in Hufflepuff though my gran wants me in Gryffindor like my dad" he said glumly.
"That's stupid" Noctis muttered "You are Neville not Neville's dad so you should be your own person. If you try and be your dad or if your gran forces you to be like him then you will never be truly happy. Do what YOU want to do and you will be fine"
Neville turned red with embarrassment but didn't say anything. Shortly after the door opened again and the bushy brown haired girl from the book store walked in "Has anyone seen a rat? a boy named Ronald has lost one" she said before laying eyes on Noctis. "YOU" she shouted pointing at Noctis.
Noctis turned to face Daphne "so do you know many spells?"
"A few" Daphne said curtly.
"Stop ignoring me" the girl ordered.
"Cool what can you do?" Noctis asked excited.
"I can do a few minor illusions. You?" Daphne asked.
"Did you hear me?" The girl asked. "I told you to stop ignoring me!"
"I know some ice magic and am currently teaching myself Esper runes as I hope to be a sky-ship engineer one day."
"Sky-ships? Esper runes?" Daphne asked a little curious despite herself.
"Sky-ships are the primary mode of transport on the hidden cloud continents" Noctis explained "and Espers are physical manifestations of an element so their runes have a great amount of power."
"You come from the cloud continents?" Neville asked shocked.
"No I actually live in the Himalayas but I spend a lot of time with family on the cloud continents" Noctis explained to everyone besides the bushy haired girl's shock.
"So why are you coming to Hogwarts then?" Daphne asked.
"WILL ALL OF YOU STOP IGNORING ME!" the girl shrieked.
"It sounds interesting" Noctis shrugged.
"Is it true the Cloud Continents are filled with extreme danger?" Neville asked worried.
"Yeah" Noctis grinned. "You usually get attacked by lots of monsters just walking to town. It's fun."
"Definitely a Gryffindor" Daphne muttered.
"Is it brave and courageous to enjoy an easy fight?" Luna asked. "He is obviously destined for Slytherin."
"How do you figure that?" Daphne asked curious.
"Trying to be known as Noctis instead of the-boy-who-lived is pretty ambitious. So is trying to be a sky-ship engineer. He is teaching himself runes to further his goal. He may not be cunning but his ambition and drive is enough" Luna explained then turned to Neville. "Don't worry Neville you will obviously be in Gryffindor as you are a lion in his shell."
It took everyone a few seconds to process what Luna had said before everyone shouted out one word "What?"
"You are Harry Potter?" Daphne asked shocked.
"You are The-Boy-Who-Lived?" the bushy haired intruder asked.
Neville just muttered "Gryffindor?"
Noctis glared at Luna "Thanks a lot" he muttered.
"Your welcome" Luna chirped brightly.
Noctis then turned to face the people in the room. "My name WAS Harry Potter but it is now Noctis Esper the Prince of Ice and Snow" he said glaring as if daring anyone to call him anything else.
"Wait Esper? As in the physical manifestation of the elements?" Daphne asked shocked.
"Wait why did you change your name?" the bushy haid girl asked/demanded.
"Yeah my mom's Shiva the Empress of Ice and Snow" Noctis said casually. "I'm sure you can figure out what she is a manifestation off."
"How did she become your mom?" Daphne asked.
"She saved me from abusive relatives" Noctis replied.
"Oh sorry for bringing it up" Daphne said blushing bright red.
The bushy haired girl snorted "I'm sure they weren't that bad."
Instantly four pairs of eyes glared at her as the temperature dropped. "Get out" Noctis growled.
"But..." the girl began.
"OUT" he bellowed sending her running.
Luna started to giggle causing everyone to stare at her. "Ice prince she said pointing at Noctis, she then pointed to Daphne "ice princess."
The two blushed bright red as Luna and Neville giggled.
