"Now, darling, I've packed sandwiches for you. Do eat them and careful with the sweets from the trolley. It'll hurt your tummy. Arthur, here, hold Percy for a second. There I see Andromeda with her husband and daughter. I'll introduce the children."
Bill tagged along after his mother who still held his brother Charlie's hand firmly in her hand, leaving Arthur with little Percy and Bill's trunk.
"Andy! How are you, dear?" Molly hugged her. "It's been so long, you disappeared from the Wizarding World altogether since your marriage."
As the mothers caught up with each other, Bill had reached his mother and was staring wide-eyed at the girl currently sporting pink hair.
"Hey, first year? I am Tonks, well Nymphadora Tonks, but you better call me Tonks." The girl introduced herself and finished her sentence with a glare.
"Well, Tonks, my name is William, but you too had better call me Bill." He answered with a slight smile, glad to meet someone other than himself who didn't like their first name.
Bill continued, "I'm starting Hogwarts this year. I hope I get in Gryffindor. My family's always been in Gryffindor."
"Oh, dear me! I forgot to introduce the children but they seem to have did it themselves." Molly beamed with pride that her son managed this all by himself.
And then, the train whistled. The smoke rising up in great plumes, preparing for the journey ahead. Soon, the children were ushered off to the train with their luggage, with promises to write home regularly.
