At 10:30 Kings Cross station was fairly congested with parents waving their children off for another year at Hogwarts. The smiling sun was shining high above them all with a casual breeze tooing and frooing. Harry and Arielle arrived with James and Lily. Ryan arrived with Sirius and Shari with the twins between them. Hermione would be travelling with the Weasley's who would be arriving shortly.

"So…..Arielle, Ryan, are you all set to start the so-called Hogwarts journey?" James asked smiling kindly at them.

"Well….it should be interesting. I'm looking forward to potions the most."

James looked from him to Lily and his two friends quizzically.

"……Watch ole Snivelus squirm when another junior marauder comes to town."

The marauders laughed at him as Lily and Shari shook their heads amusedly.

"That's ma boy!" Sirius said smiling as he swung his arm around Ryan's shoulders.

"Now you listen to me Ryan and you listen good." Shari said firmly as Sirius released his grip on him as he looked between his wife and his son.

"I do not want to have any complaints about you do you hear me? You are not to go around pestering any member of staff or hassling Snape. You are to respect all of your teachers and your peers. One bad report and you will be brought home is that clear?"

"Yes mom." He replied obediently.

"Ah Shars give the kid a break……"

"No Sirius I will not. Harry has only just got you and James to lay off Snape and I want a peaceful life from hereon in."

"Alright….."

"Hey they are here you guys." Harry said happily as he waved to the Weasley's and Hermione. They all hurried down towards him. The train was set to leave in fifteen minutes.

"Oh so sorry to have kept you waiting……someone couldn't find their wand." Molly said glaring at Ron. Ron smiled sheepishly at his mom.

"Oh well never mind all that….we have to get these all aboard so…..Fred, George, Ginny…..why don't ye go on ahead?"

"Okay dad." They chimed in unison.

"Right……Remus do you want some time to yourself or would you like some company?" Harry asked. Remus smiled fondly at him as he replied

"Harry I would be delighted if the others have no objections?" He looked around and Hermione, Ron, Arielle and Ryan shook their heads.

"Okay…..lets go." He said happily as they all smiled up at him.

"Bye mom." Arielle and Ryan said respectively.

"Bye sweetheart…."

"You take care Ryan and remember what I said darling." Shari said as she hugged her son tenderly.

"I will……see you later dad." Ryan exclaimed as he high fived Sirius and hugged him briefly.

"See you soon kid." Sirius replied with a wink.

"Harry you watch out for your sister alright Champ?"

"Yes of course……" He hugged his son gently and stroked his cheek before embracing Arielle.

"Hey Padfoot……I just want to say…..thank you for everything you did for me this summer. You really helped me through the tough times. It even began to feel like the old days again….." Sirius smiled a little at him.

"Harry we are a family. How could I turn my back on you mate? You just make sure to keep on top of your occlumency and make sure to go to Remus if you need help in anything alright?"

"Yeah….absolutely Sirius." He replied soundly.

"Alright…..come here." He embraced Harry fondly. A few seconds later he took a firm grip of his shoulders as he looked him straight in the eye and said…..

"You ever need us…..you just let us know and we will be there okay?" Harry nodded with a smirk.

"Okay….." He patted him on the side of the head saying…."take care."

Harry and Ryan got on board the train and waited in the door way for Arielle who was saying goodbye to Sirius. Sirius was on his haunches embracing her tenderly as he said….."You take care of yourself angel and be good for your big brother because…..he will look out for you."

"I know Sirius. See you soon."

"Yeah, that you will love."

She got up and waved to him as she ran to the train. As she hopped in the steam began to rise as the Hogwarts Express began its journey. All of its passengers waved out the windows to the people they were leaving behind. Once out of sight, Harry, Arielle and Ryan began searching for their carriage.

"Oh no way……" Someone said as Harry approached a carriage near the rear of the train. Then he heard Hermione laughing so he with Ryan and Arielle headed in to find Remus sitting on the left next to the window, Neville was next to him with Ron and Hermione sitting opposite. They all looked up and greeted them.

"Hey Neville. I didn't expect to see you here."

"Oh….I know Harry but Hermione said it was ok. You don't mind do you?"

"No of course not Neville. Don't be thick mate." They smiled at each other.

"I don't think you have met my sister Arielle though have you?"

"No….."

"Airs….this Neville Longbottom. He is a fourth year Gryffindor too."

"Oh cool. Hey how are you…..Neville right?"

"Eh….yeah. It's nice to meet you."

"Yeah you and all." She replied sweetly as she sat back down between Ron and Ryan.

"This is Ryan…..he is Siriusson……kind of like my kid brother."

"Alright Neville? How ya going mate?" Ryan asked as he saluted him.

"Yeah…..fine thanks." They both smiled at each other.

"Hey Harry…..Remus was just telling us there a few things about you."

"Oh Hermione…..you don't need to know…..if there's anything you want to know….just ask me." Harry said as he sat next to Remus.

"Oh but its fun to hear it from a third party." She replied playfully.

"So….now you are going to use all this new information against me?" He asked smirking at her. She smiled broadly, leaned forwards as she said…..

"I won't have to so long as you behave yourself."

"Well there isn't much of a chance of that happening Hermione." Remus said flatly looking at Harry who smiled cynically and punched him in the arm.

Everyone just laughed and that was the way of the Hogwarts journey until the train came to a complete stop some hours later.

Everyone started collecting their belongings as they started heading out of the train. Students began filing from all directions and all corridors but the one thing that remained the same all around the train was the loud bellowing voice of Hogwarts game keeper, Hagrid.

"Righfirsyears come along then. This way firs years….."

Harry was helping Arielle to get her things together as they hurried out of the train. As they rushed out Arielle bashed into Malfoy and landed flat on her back on the platform. Malfoy turned around and glared down at her.

"Why don't you watch where you are going shorty?"

"If I wanted your opinion I would ask for it looser!" Arielle said as she got up and dusted her robes down. Harry then emerged from the train having heard all this.

"What are you looking at Potter?" Malfoy asked irritably.

"You leave my sister alone Malfoy or you will have me to deal with."

"Ohhhhh I'm shaking….." Malfoy replied in a mock tone, biting his finger nails as he Crabbe and Goyle laughed and walked away.

"That…..was Malfoy?" Arielle asked quizzically.

"Yes, why are you so surprised?"

"Well its just the way you described him……I thought he would resemble Snape….if he wasn't so ignorant……Id say he was kind of cute."

"Arielle…..you know what I am not even going to answer that….." She laughed heartedly as Harry smirked at her.

"Okay come on. We better get you up to Hagrid before he leaves. Where are Ryan and the others?"

"I suppose they must be up there already."

"Okay I see Hagrid…..come on quick….." They ran up the platform towards him.

"Hey Hagrid….." He slowly turned around and smiled at them both.

"Alrigh Arry? How are you?"

"I'm fine thanks Hagrid. How are you?"

"I'm great altogether……is this Arielle? My, my but haven't you grown. I can't believe its time for you to come here yet."

"Hey Hagrid. There have so many people who have said that to me but it is the sad reality I'm afraid." They laughed a little.

"Okay well Airs I will leave you with Hagrid but I will see you at the feast."

"Okay. Thank you Harry…."

"No problem. Good luck with the sorting." He hugged her lightly before tearing off to find his friends.

"Thank you Harry….."

"Alrighthen…..Arielle……are you ready?"

"Yup. Lead the way." They both smiled before hopping into a boat and sailing across to the greatest journey of her life.

Hey I know it was short but Ill try to make sure the next one is more lengthily.

Talk to you soon. :)
