The days leading to the kids going off to Hogwarts were pretty uneventful to say the least. Unless you count Fred and George accidentally inflating Ron and Luna. Other than that the rest of the summer passed without anything major happening.
The day before the kids were going, a huge party was held at Greengrass Manor. Everyone attended it. Another quidditch match was held between the Pigsnouts and Puppets due to Charlie still being sore about his defeat. Unfortunately for Charlie, he and his team suffered another loss. But the margin this time was 180-50 so it was an increase in the Puppets' performance. After which the kids went to Potter Manor to sleepover. Everyone had packed their trunks and not even Ron could unpack his entire trunk in the matter of one night. The next morning came with little fanfare. Ginny and the Lovegood Twins were put out that they couldn't join their friends at Hogwarts from the current year. After Ron, Neville and Draco spent an hour with them, explaining that they will write to them regularly and everything. The entire Potter family took the kids to Kings Cross Station for their Journey. Lily and Eveline were in the lead while James and Andrew took the back. "Um Aunt Lily. Mum and Dad will be coming right?" Asked Ron. "Yes dear. They said that they'll meet us on the Platform." Said Lily in affirmation. They came to a stop in front of a wall in the middle of platforms 9 and 10. "Okay, you lot. You have to run into the wall." Said James. "No offense intended Uncle James, but have you lost it?" Asked Daphne. James chuckled and said,"No my dear. You have to. Bill, Charlie why don't you both take the Twins and show the newbies how it's done." Both grinned in response and along with the Twins left. They went through the wall and everyone gasped. They'd disappeared into the wall. "Percy you next." Said Lily. Percy strode towards the wall and he too disappeared. " Alrighty then. Harry, Mione why don't you go next?" Said Eveline. Both pushed their trolleys and went into the wall. Standing in front of them were Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy. "Welcome Harry and Hermione. To Platform 9." Said Narcissa. Standing in front of them was a scarlet engine with Hogwarts Express written on it. Sirius apparated in front of Harry and scared them. "Harrykins, why don't you and Hermione follow me to the compartment we reserved for you. Cissy send the others at the very end of the train. Liz is waiting there. Fred and George have already settled in. They're holding the fort for you." Smirked Sirius. The duo went in and saw the Weasley twins sitting in a compartment where they were talking in hush tones. When Harry and Hermione walked in they got up and said," Well then Harry, Hermione we'll hand the charge of the fort to you. We have business to discuss with Lee." Without waiting for a reply they left. "What was that about?" Asked Hermione. Harry shrugged in response. Pretty soon the rest of the gang arrived. After putting their bags and trunks in place they went down to say bye to their parents. Everyone was caught in a round of hugs from everyone who had come to leave the kids. When Harry hugged Lily, she said," Stay Harrykins. Don't get into trouble." "Yes mum. Don't worry Hermione will make sure I don't go looking for trouble." Said Harry straight faced. Hermione smacked him across his head jokingly. "Look Pads. Our Harrykins is already wrapped around Hermione's finger." Said James fake crying. "Oh they grow up so fast. Just yesterday he was one and learning to crawl." Replied Sirius fake crying. All the adults were laughing at the antics of the two while Remus was seriously reevaluating their entire Friendship. After which, James hugged Harry and Sirius slipped him a small package. Before he could ask what it was, both James and Sirius shook their heads warningly, while Remus pretended that he didn't see a thing. A loud popping noise scared them all. They whirled around to see Orion and Regulus standing next to them. "Dad, Reg what are you doing here? And where's Mum?" Asked Sirius. "She's watching over Leo, Vega, Polaris and Catelyn. She gave me a message which I had to give to Harry and Draco." Said Orion as he handed a red envelope to Harry. Everyone gulped. "That's not a message Grandpa Orion. That's a howler." Said Harry. "Open it Harry. Let's see what it says." Said Hermione. Harry opened the envelope and jumped as it yelled in Walburga Black's loud voice," HARRY JAMES POTTER AND DRACO LUCIUS MALFOY. YOU BETTER WRITE TO YOUR GRANDMA TWICE A WEEK OR I PERSONALLY WILL COME TO HOGWARTS TO CHECK ON YOU. Also my dears it doesn't matter what house you get in and make sure you give your best for that House. Although I would prefer it to be Slytherin but I know you both take after your father's so I wouldn't say anything. And the rest of my dears have a fun filled year at Hogwarts and I expect to see you all at Grimmauld Place for Christmas. Lots of love, Gran Walburga." The letter shredded itself to pieces. "That was terrifying and loving at the same time." Said Ron, after a moment's pause. Just then the train conductor blew his whistle and Molly began to usher everyone into the train. The kids watched till the smoke of the train engulfed their parents, then went to sit in their compartment. Due to them not sleeping the previous night, everyone fell fast asleep. They awoke after a loud bang sounded outside their compartment. Everyone jumped at the sound. Standing outside their door was a boy with average height, brown hair and had 2 other boys next to him. Seeing the people in the said compartment awake, he walked in and said," Finally you lot are awake." "Who are you?" Asked Hermione. "Shut up you filthy little mudblood. I wasn't talking to you." Sneered the boy. At this Harry launched himself at the boy only to be held back by Ron, Neville and Draco, which itself was a feat as he was the strongest of them all. Calming himself down, Harry said," Who are you? And why did you wake us up?" "Simply because I heard on the train that Harry Potter was going to Hogwarts. Are you Harry Potter?" Asked the boy. "Yes. Yes I am." Said Harry controlling his anger. "This is Crabbe and Goyle and I'm Sanctum. Theodore Sanctum." Said the boy indicating the boys next to him and then himself. Ron sniggered at that. "No need to ask who you are. Red hair, permanently lost look. You must be a Weasley. You need good friends Potter. Maybe I can help you with that." Said Theodore and put his hand out for a shake. "Ron. I don't think the name Sanctum comes in the Sacred 28 does it?" Asked Harry. "Nope. It doesn't." Laughed Ron. "But the names Potter, Greengrass, Malfoy, Weasley and Longbottom do. And you just insulted them all." Said Harry. "You're bullshitting me. There's just a Potter here. There are none of the rest." Said Theodore confidently. "Hi my name is Draco Malfoy." Hi I'm Neville Longbottom." "Hi I'm Ron Weasley." "Hello we are Hermione and Daphne Greengrass." Said Harry's friends. "And we are Fred and George Weasley." Came the voice of the twins from behind. "So Theodore would you mind leaving us? Or shall we make you?" Asked Draco. The three boys left quickly. "Hey guys what are you doing here?" Asked Neville. "We heard a loud bang and we thought that Hey we're the only ones allowed to make noises." Said George. " So we followed and saw them." Completed Fred. "Don't worry you guys. We had it in the bag." Laughed Daphne. All laughed at the muggle phrase which Daphne used. "So we'll see you soon. Better behave you guys." Winked George and left. Fred followed after blowing a kiss to Daphne.
