September 1st 1972

Kings cross station was packed as always, but you could tell which were the Hogwarts students, since they had owls, cats and toads.

"Uncle Luke, do you think that we're safe?"

"What makes you ask that Libs?"

"I have a feeling that it might not be"

"Look Squirt, I can't say that we are, since there's a mad man on the rise, but I can promise that we'll get through it together"

"Thanks Uncle Luke, tell Aunt Jacki that I hope she feels better"

"I will, and if you really wanna come home during term time, I can arrange for someone to die"

Uncle Luke then pulled me into a hug.

"You what Squirt"

"What?"

"I could homeschool you, I'm pretty sure that I'm way more interesting than Professor Binns"

"(Laughs), Bye Uncle Luke, I love you"

"I love you too"

I then boarded the train, and saw that Alex had found a compartment.

"Softie!"

"Red, how was your summer?"

"(Laughs), mostly good, though I did break a window using accidental magic while dancing to Abba"

"What's Abba?"

"A muggle band"

"Cool"

Thalia then ran into the compartment, her Rainbow hair flowing in the wind, because fuck it, she's like a little unicorn.

"Libby!, Alex!"

"That's our names, don't wear 'em out"

"Hilarious Libby, anyway I'm surprised that my parents haven't divorced yet"

"What did they do?"

"You don't wanna know Alex"

"Don't titbit me juicy news and then tell me that I don't want to know, because I do"

"Softie, has anyone told you that you're such an old gossip"

"Nope"
