DISCLAIMER: I don't own Harry Potter.
Hey, everybody. I just wanted to say that I lost interest in their first year, but I'm going strong with their second year! I'm taking this one a little bit slower, which might help and as such, here I go. Read, Review and Enjoy!
In the light of the sun, is there anyone? Oh it has begun...
Oh dear you look so lost, eyes are red and tears are shed,
This world you must've crossed... you said...
I was at King's Cross once more, Mistress Caroline had just dropped me off at the station, figuring that I probably knew where I was going as I had done the same thing the previous year. I looked around for James and Fred and their families. I knew that Rose and Albus were coming this year, something that James could hardly contain his excitement for.
I was dying to see the three of my friends, seeing as we had only corresponded with letters over the summer. I had so much to talk about, mainly the fact that I had only realized how much I missed them, but what else am I expected to talk about? I finally saw James and Fred and bounded over to them. I hugged James as hard as I could and I heard him laugh. "Hey, Acacia, I missed you too," he laughed when he hugged me back.
"Glad to know I'm not the only one!" I smiled. I ran over to Fred and hugged him too.
"Hey. Have you seen Aspen anywhere?" he asked as soon as I let him go. I looked up at him with my blue eyes icy and pouted.
"What? You don't even care that I'm here?" I was being childish, I knew that, but I didn't care. It hurt me that Fred cared more about Aspen than me.
"Of course I do. But now that I've seen you, I want to know if you've seen Aspen," he replied slowly, as though I was an idiot.
"Oh, well, in that case. No, I haven't," I said, putting on a happy front but still hurt that he cared more about Aspen. I looked down at my waist, which was being attacked by a certain Rose Weasley and smiled. "Hey, Rosie, are you excited?"
"Am I ever! I could hardly wait until my letter came! You have absolutely no idea!" she laughed, looping my arm into hers. I laughed along with her and just had to agree. I did have no idea, seeing as my letter had come from Professor McGonagall, not an owl. "So, are we going to go on the train, or what?"
"Aren't we going to see if your mother wants to see you off first?" I asked, knowing that she did as every mother did.
"I guess so, but then can we go on the train?"
"Sure."
"Promise?"
"Sure, I promise. Don't worry. We'll get on the train in—oof!" I felt arms wrap around my own and then a warm voice in my ear.
"Acacia!" I heard Aspen scream into my ear. I wheeled around. There was my best friend, Aspen Green!
"Aspen!" I screamed back. We hugged harder than I've ever hugged anyone before and then felt four more arms wrap around the both of us. It was James and Fred.
"See, I told you that she's here!" James said triumphantly and I watched as Fred stuck his tongue out and then hugged Aspen separately.
"Hey, Green," he said with a huge smile. Aspen smiled back at him and then turned to James.
"Hey, James," she said, smiling and walking over to him. James smiled back and hugged her. We all looked at each other one final time and walked to our compartment.
XoXo
You don't know me, you don't even care, oh yeah,
She said
You don't know me, and you don't wear my chains... oh yeah,
Essential yet appealed, carry all your thoughts across
An open field,
When flowers gaze at you... they're not the only ones who cry
When they see you

When we were all sitting down, James got up and walked away, trying to find something interesting to do so that he wasn't bored the entire train ride. He came running back with excitement written on his face and panting heavily. He looked at me and then smiled. "What?" I asked, trying to figure out what the hell could be so interesting that he was so excited about.
"I just saw Teddy, your Teddy, kissing Victoire, my Victoire!" he said breathlessly. I gasped and then he pulled me up out of my seat.
"Where are we going?" I asked, trying not to laugh at the image of James bursting into Teddy and Victoire's goodbye kiss.
"To tell mum and dad! Come on!" I was pulled roughly off the train and then we ran into his mum and dad. "Mum! Dad! You'll never guess what happened!"
"What?" Harry asked with a smile.
"I just saw Teddy snogging Victoire! Our Victoire!" he said excitedly again. Ginny and Harry laughed again and then ruffled his hair. James scowled and then put it back to where it had been before his father unceremoniously ruffled it. Harry looked over and saw a tall man with pale blond hair and a pinched face and scowled.
"What is it dad?" Albus asked, looking in the direction his father was looking.
"Now, if I ever catch you talking with that boy, I will make sure to disown you," Ron said to Rose. Rose scowled at her father and stalked off onto the train. Ron looked at his wife and shrugged.
James and I turned to Ginny and Harry and waved goodbye. Ginny turned to me and kissed my forehead. "Have a good term you two! And don't forget, Acacia, you're welcome to come to our house for Christmas again!" she said with a smile, waving us goodbye.

We sat back down in our compartment and looked at Fred and Aspen who looked as though we had just broken up a conversation. "Carry on with your conversation!" James said, waving his hand in a haughty manner.
"We have nothing to talk about anymore!" Aspen said stiffly. I laughed and James scowled, knowing that he didn't win.
"That is such a lie!" James screeched, sitting down next to me. Aspen, Fred and I all laughed but then shut up as soon as we saw his face.
"Oh, would you give it up, James. You can't win everything!" Fred said, rolling his eyes. James scoffed, crossed his arms over his chest and rolled his eyes back at his cousin.
"What is this? A rolling of the eyes competition?" I asked. Aspen laughed and gave me a high five. Fred and James just looked at each other.
The compartment door opened and Rose and Albus walked in along with the pale boy that I saw on the platform. Rose sat down in between me and James and Albus sat down next to Fred, leaving the blond to find his own seat. "Who are you?" James sneered. The boy looked at him with a superior look in his eyes.
"I am Scorpius Malfoy. Perhaps you have heard of me. I know I have heard of you. Potter," he sneered back. I almost choked on the bottle of water I was drinking when I heard his name. He was my cousin. My cousin Malfoy. What cruel senders of fate would have made this possible?
"Yeah. I've heard of your stinking rat of a father!" James retorted. I sunk a little lower in my seat and Aspen shot me a look. I shook my head silently.
"Well, what about your father?! It's because of him that half of my family is dead!" Scorpius practically screamed.
"It's not my fault they were on the wrong side!"
"They weren't on the wrong side! They were just a little jaded on what was right!"
"Ooh, jaded. Isn't that a little bit of a big word for a runt like you to use?"
"Shut up, Potter!"
"Not before you, Malfoy!"
"Oh, whatever!" I could feel Scorpius' eyes slide over me and then come back. I looked up and watched as his pale eyes came back over me. "And who are you?" he asked in his slippery way.
"No one. I am absolutely no one!" I said quickly, a little too quickly.
"No you're not! You're Acacia Grace Lestrange!" Rose said loudly, trying to imitate me.
"Rose!" I said exasperatedly.
"You're a Lestrange?" the Malfoy asked as though I was dirt beneath his fingernails.
"Yes, I am! Do you have a problem that I haven't exactly lived up to your aunt's potential?!" I spat.
"Yeah. How she ever managed to have dirt like you, I'll never know!" He laughed at that, probably going on whatever his precious mother had told him. I scowled and looked at James who looked absolutely mutinous. I couldn't believe that this little runt had called me dirt when I was higher then him. Everyone knows that Lestranges are worth more than Malfoys.
"Why don't you shut up Malfoy? This girl is better than you in every single way imaginable!" James spat back at Malfoy.
"Oh, I'm sure. But I'm also sure that just because she's a Gryffindor, and disgracing the entire Black line, doesn't mean that she's better than me!" Malfoy hissed as his stalked out of the compartment.
I looked at Rose with disgust written on my face and then back at James. "Thanks," I said with a small smile.
"No problem," he said back, pushing Rose out of the seat and hugging me.
"Ow! James!" Rose screeched.
"Oh, you'll get over it, Rosie!" he smiled.
She said I think I'll go to Boston...
I think I'll start a new life,
I think I'll start it over, where no one knows my name,
I'll get out of California, I'm tired of the weather,
I think I'll get a lover and fly em out to Spain...
I think I'll go to Boston,
I think that I'm just tired
I think I need a new town, to leave this all behind...
I think I need a sunrise, I'm tired of the sunset,
I hear it's nice in the Summer, some snow would be nice... oh yeah,
Boston... where no one knows my name... yeah
Where no one knows my name...
Where no one knows my name...
Yeah Boston...
Where no one knows my name.
