* Nox's P.O.V *
"Finally!" Nox smiled while she, Neville, Luna and her two older twin brothers Lysander and Lorcan walked down towards platform 9 3/4 "Now it's just through that wall," Lysander said to Nox and held his trolley tighter. He ran into the wall. "He's gone!" Nox said with a gasp. "Yeah, but be careful lil' sis, maybe they won't let you through," Lorcan said before he followed his brother through the wall. Neville looked down at Nox and gave her a hug. "Don't listen to them, just run straight at it and without even knowing it, you will be standing on the platform." Nox forced a smile and ran.
On the other side of the wall it was a lot of wizards and animals. Nox smiled down at the cage Yoru was in and walked over to her two brothers. "Time to go on the train, sweetie" Neville said and gave Nox a big hug. He and Luna had appeared as well. Luna gave her a even bigger hug, and Nox hugged her back tightly.
Nox walked in and found an almost full booth. It was the first one she saw. She opened the door and stuck out her head. "Excuse me?" She said and looked at the blond haired boy who sat in the bunk with two other boys. There were one small with brown hair and a big smile and one who was a little taller with black hair and glasses covering much of his face. He had a scar under his eye but he smiled as well, "Hey," The Small, brown haired one said. The two others turned their heads to look at Nox. "Can I sit?" she asked nicely. "Yeah, of course," said the small one and moved over towards the black haired guy to let Nox sit down besides the blonde boy. Nox pushed her luggage onto the shelf and sat. "I'm George Edward," The small one said. "This is Louis Tommo, and-" He was about to say something else, but the blonde guy interrupted. "I'm Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy," he said and smiled at Nox. "I'm Nox Aurora," she said "Pleasure to meet you." She smiled to the boys and looked out the window.
* Emma's P.O.V *
Emma ran through the rain. She and her family were on their way to King's cross station. Her shoes were wet all the way through. They felt cold and heavy and slowed her down. Running beside her was Rose. Hugo was on the other side. Their parents were right behind. Emma's suitcase made clicking noises as it jumped up and down on the sidewalk behind her. Eventually, they arrived at the stairs. The underground sign almost lit up in the dark weather. They walked down the stairs. Emma's excitement tingled her stomach.
The family got a few looks. They were all dripping wet (a lot of people were, but most of them had a umbrella or raincoat. The Weasley's did not.) They also carried one cat and two owls, as well as massive suitcases. Ron's wand was sticking out of his jeans. Hermione quickly pushed it back down. They weren't the only ones sticking out, of course. Some families wore really strange muggle outfits. One girl wore a short summer dress on top of some cameo jeans, all topped up with a rain hat and high heels. Scottish kilts and ponchos were overused. Muggles all around were really confused.
The family were on their way towards 9 and ¾ when they saw her. She most definitely was going to Hogwarts. She held a cat cage with a beautiful black cat in it. Emma was a little bit crept out when she realized it just had one eye. The girl herself had dark, short hair. It curled down, faming her pale face. Some hair had fallen in front of her eyes. She stood a few meters away, leaning against the wall with a confused look on her face. "Totally screaming Hogwarts," Rose said. She could be quite rude at times. "So are we," Emma answered casually. Hugo nodded. He always took Emma's side. "At least she is wearing muggle clothing," he said, pointing to a boy in a robe. "He's probably muggle born," Emma said. "It cannot be all that easy, after all." Hermione interrupted their conversation. "Come on, kids! We are going to miss the train!" They walked a little faster. Just then, the dark-haired girl they just saw walked towards them. "Excuse me Mrs, but do you know how to get onto the platform 9 and ¾?" she asked politely. Hermione smiled and asked about the girl's name. "Idosa, Madame," the girl answered. Hermione introduced their family. "This is Emma's first year as well," she added.
"Alright," Ron said. "Rose, why don't you go first." Rose nodded with a smile and ran. Idosa's face was shocked as Rose ran straight through the wall. Emma herself had seen this before, but was nervous to do it herself. "See you," Hugo said as he followed her. "I will go after them," Ron said as he went as well. "Alright girls. You just run as fast as you can, and you'll go right through." She looked around to make sure no muggles were watching just like she had done a thousand times already. "Go." Emma and Idosa both took speed, going through at the same time. It was like running through air. Suddenly, they were standing someplace else. A massive train was in front of them.
Hermione appeared behind them. "We are a bit late, so we have to be fast." Emma carelessly dropped her baggage. Her owl made an unhappy sound. Emma hugged her mother long and hard. She would miss her so much. "Bye, mom." She said. She then walked on, to her dad. She hugged him just as long and said goodbye. It was such a long time until she would see them again. "Hurry now," Ron said. Most of the others were on the train already. She picked up her luggage once again and ran inside, just in time. Idosa was standing right in front of her. "We should find a place," Idosa said. They walked forward looking for a booth.
It took a while, but they found one in the end. Emma put her luggage up on the shelf, struggling a little. Then she sat down, looking straight at Idosa. "What was your name again?" Idosa said. She was clearly studying Emma, who felt a bit uncomfortable. "Emma. Emma Weasley," she said calmly. Idosa smiled at her, and Emma smiled back. An awkward silence filled the air. "Any hobbies?" Idosa said. Emma was thinking. She was not really sure. She did her muggle homework, cracked jokes in the garden with her siblings, helped her mother in the house, wrote and read books. None of those appeared to be fitting, but Emma decided the last two would work. "Writing and reading," Emma said. "I don't really have a life." She laughed a little. "And you?" Idosa did not have to think. "Drawing." After a little while Idosa added: "I don't really have a life either." Emma smiled once again. Idosa was a little bit strange. "Let's have a life together," Idosa suddenly said. Emma though this was a little bit weird, considering they had only known each other for a few minutes. She nodded anyway, having a good feeling about this. "You never told me your full name," Emma said. She was incredibly curious. "Idosa Lyra LeStrange," Idosa said. Emma felt her eyes widen. Her good feeling disappeared as her blood froze to ice. "Something wrong?" Idosa asked. Emma did not answer. LeStrange, as in Bellatrix. The Bellatrix who had tortured her mother. Bellatrix the death eater. Voldemort's beloved Bellatrix, who had tried to kill her aunt. "Do you know your parents?" Emma blurted. There was of course several leStrange families, she told herself. It did not have to be Bellatrix. But she had a hunch, a feeling. She just knew. "N-no, I am an orphan." And so it was confirmed. "Why are you asking?" Idosa's eyebrows wrincled. "I-" Emma started, but she was interrupted by a tall, blonde girl opening the door.
* Idosa's P.O.V *
POPP. They were at the king's cross station, right by an empty trolley. "I need to leave you, Idosa. My daughter is starting this year as well. You'll probably meet her, her name is Nox Longbottom." He said, smiled and put the things onto Idosa's trolley. "But sir?" Idosa asked, confused. "You will get there on your o-" He paused, searching in his pockets. "Your ticket," he said. "I will see you at Hogwarts. Nice to meeting you, miss." Then he was gone.
"9 and ¾ " Idosa said to herself as she read the ticket. She pushed the trolley down. "4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9." She counted to herself. And so she was standing in between 9 and 10. No 9 and ¾ in sight.
Idosa didn't know what to do, so she stood up against the wall. She took the cat with the cage in her arms. "Do you know what to do?" She whispered to the cat. People that walked by stared at her, but Idosa of course, didn't mind.
"Come on kids, we are going to miss the train." A female voice said as she went between platform 9 and 10. Then four red heads came almost running after her. It were two girls, one boy and their dad. Idosa put the cat on the trolley again, took it with her and went towards the little family.
"Excuse me Mrs, but do you know how to get on the platform 9 and ¾?" Idosa asked politely at the older woman. The woman smiled. "I guess this is your first time at Hogwarts young lady, now what is your name?" The woman said kindly. "Idosa, Madame." She held out her hand. "Hermione Weasley." Hermione took it. "This is my husband Ron, my son Hugo, and my two daughters, Rose and Emma. This is Emma`s first year too." Hermione said and pointed too her youngest daughter. She had red, brownish and some freckles on her nose and cheeks.
"Alright," the father said. "Rose, why don't you go first." The older one of the girls ran straight through the wall. Idosa gasped. "See you," the boy said as he followed her. "I will go after them," the father said as he went as well. "Alright girls. You just run as fast as you can, and you'll go right through," the mother said. "Go!" And they ran through the wall.
When Emma and Idosa were on the train, they found an empty booth they sat down with their stuff.
"What was your name again?" Idosa said, looking at the red head. "Emma. Emma Weasley." She smiled. "Any hobbies?" Idosa asked, trying to break the silence. "Reading, writing. I really don`t have a life." She laughed. "And you?" Emma asked. "Drawing. I really don't have a life ether." Idosa laughed too. She waited a little while. "Let's have a life together then," Idosa said. Emma nodded as Idosa smiled. "You never told me your full name," Emma said. "Idosa Lyra Lestrange." Emma`s eyes widened. "Something wrong?" Idosa asked. "Do you know your parents?" Emma said still looking afraid. "N-no. I am an orphan." she said and knitted my eyebrows together. "Why are you asking?" Idosa asked. "I-" Emma stopped when a blonde haired tall girl opened the door.
* Authors note: Hello there, and thank you so, so much for reading! This chapter took a little bit of time. It is really hard to write like me and Idosa did in this chapter, the same events but from different perspectives. It takes a lot to make everything the same, but still keep it interesting. Please comment if you think we should do that in a different way. School has started as well, and there is a lot of homework and acting (all three of us act) that is getting in the way. Hopefully we will be able to keep it going! I also got a message from Idosa. "Comment or we will stop writing," she says. So please do, because i really want to continue! Lots of love, Emma.
