:A/N:-(This is an updated chapter 3)

She moved her fingers through her brown, wavy hair, twirling the ends to make them a bit more curled. Serenity glanced one last time in the mirror to make sure she was presentable. She wore her new school uniform with her simple black stockings and black shoes. She took her cloak in one hand and her truck handle with the other hand before heading out her room. She stopped herself and took one last look at the little room and gave a weary smile.

…I'm gonna miss my room…

She snapped out of her inner thought as she heard barking and laughter from the courtyard.

"Come on Valiant! Go get it"

She could hear Thomas yell to her pup. Ever since she brought Valiant home the kids have all warmed up to him. Even their more quiet kids have all fallen in love with the dog…Well except Bobby but Serenity always though Bobby just didn't like anyone because of his family history. Apparently Bobby's drunk father used to beat him at night and his drugged up mother just left him here, not wanting to deal with him. Serenity and the other kids and nuns have tried their best to get Bobby to warm up to them but he never wanted anything to do with them. She pushed that thought away as she quickly went out to the courtyard. She saw Thomas playing catch with Valiant while the younger kids ran with him. As soon as Serenity stepped outside, Valiant dropped the stick in front of Thomas and patted his way to her.

"Good boy."

Valiant gave a little bark and wagged his tail before rubbing his head against her leg.

"Oh come on! Don't tell me you're leaving already Al" Thomas said as he ruffled her hair.

"Hey I just brushed it and yea...I'm leaving now." He always called her a bunch of nicknames. From Al, short for Alice, Sere, pup, little bird, and some moments little sis. They were both dropped off at the orphanage as babies so Thomas tried to look after her like a real little sister. She looked down feeling a little sad that she was leaving the orphanage. Trying to change the subject a little Thomas asked,

"What's this? A cloak? What kind of strange school are you going to?"

"Oh it's a very old school up north of Europe, really chilly and they suggest cloaks are better to move around in…"

Serenity grew silent again as she saw a few of the younger kids tearing up for her.

"Hey...Don't worry about us. We'll see you next summer. Then you can tell us all about your adventures at your new school." Thomas said as a few of the other boys and girls agreed, giving her hugs and comforting smiles. Thomas gave her the last hug as she gives him a little kiss on the cheek.

"…I promise to make sure everyone's fine…And you're room is still here for you when you come back." She gave him a little nod as she knew he really was going to keep his promise. She knew he would never lie to her.

"Be good little sis."

"You too…"

She smiled as she heard one of the sisters call her name. She waved to them goodbye as she left the courtyard to see Remus waiting for her. She gave the sisters hugs and goodbyes before taking Remus' hand to walk away from her home.

Remus was surprised by how sad and some happy for Serenity leaving for her school. All but one boy as he yells out something like, "good riddance."

Serenity saw Thomas roll his eyes at Bobby but gave her a broad smile. She griped onto Remus' hand to make sure she didn't get left behind as he held onto her cloak and trunk easily in one hand.

"Is this it?"

"Yeah…I don't have that much…"

He held onto her tiny hand as he escorted her to the train station. They took their time walking there, even stopping by a little shop to get some breakfast. They finally made it to the station as they placed Valiant in a magic cage that transformed to the perfect size for him as he grows. If he wasn't in the cage, it would shrink into a small box she could used to keep any trinkets or letters. She glanced around before she looked up at Remus.

"Don't worry we need to go on platform 9 3/4"

"9 & 3/4?" She was confused as he took her to a brick pillar. She was a little hesitant as she looked up at him. He gave her a gentle smile as he asked her,

"Do you trust me little one?"

"I do."

"Alright, now I just want you to run straight ok? Don't worry, I'll be right next to you."

"Together?"

"Together."

He squeezed her hand gently as Serenity glanced up to gave him a smile. They both turned their heads back to look at the pillar and slowly they ran together with her trunk and Valiant.

Blimey!

Serenity was in awe by the Hogwarts express, seeing various students hugging their family members and running into the train. She noticed some older students having different colors and signs on their cloak. She also noticed how some had different creatures with them, usually an owl it appeared.

"Now my dear girl...I'm afraid it's time for us to part."

Serenity turns around to see Remus looking at her with a sad smile. She frowned as she looked down at her feet to see Valiant whimpering as well in his cage. She felt like he was leaving her for good.

Remus bent down on one knee to lean in a little to look at her at her height. He took her chin in his hand to make her look at him as he says,

"Don't worry my dear girl, it won't be forever. Now how would I, Uncle Lupin, ever leave his little niece?" He laughs a little to himself when he said Uncle Lupin. After their time together he would come by and visit her, bond and try to explain more about the world of witches and wizards. He tried to teach her a few spells and tricks, simple ones so they wouldn't get caught, and other subjects so she wouldn't be completely lost at the various school subjects. They've even talked about their history about how Remus used to be a trouble maker at the school, while she was a bit of a strange one herself when she was younger. None the less they grew to become quite fond of each other like family.

He looked to see her slowly looked back at him. Her piercing green eyes stared back at him as a smile slowly appeared on her face. She jumps into his arms in a hug as she says in a small whisper in his ear,

"Thank you Uncle Lupin...I'll miss you."

"I'll miss you too little one but nevertheless, we will cross paths again someday."

After Remus said goodbye to Serenity, she went into the train looking around for a place to place her trunk. She finally found a space but had a hard time putting it up.

"Want a little-"

"-help with that?"

She turned around to find two red head boys standing behind her. Valiant was in his cage as he barked at the boys playfully.

"Um...Yes please if you don't mind."

"No-"

"-Problem"

They helped place her bag up as they turn back to face her. The first one bowed to her like a gentleman.

" My name is George Weasley."

"-And I'm Fred Weasley, the better looking twin" The second bowed. She giggles as she gave a little curtsy,

"Serenity Alice Aragon, nice to meet you guys." One was about to say something but the train shook slightly as both of them said at the same time,

"Woah! I think it's time for us to get back to our seats. Nice meetin' ya Serenity." They waved at her goodbye as they laughed and walked back to their seats.

She walked around with Valiant to try to find a good spot and finally found one with two boys. Serenity knocked on it lightly as she opened the compartment,

"I'm sorry but is there any room for one mo-"

"Hey! You're the girl from the shop!"

She looks to see the familiar red head named Ron. She gives a little giggle as she nods her head yes.

"Yeah, nice to meet you again Ron."

"Ah, Harry this is Serenity Alec Aradon"

"Actually it's Serenity Alice Aragon, nice try though" She gives a giggle as the other boy trying to cover up his laughter. Ron was turning as red as his hair.

"My name's Harry. Harry Potter" The boy with glasses looked at her with a smile. Serenity just smiled as she said,

" It's nice to meet you all...now about this seat is it ta-"

"Oh of course! Go ahead." Serenity sat down next to Harry, putting Valiant on the side next to her, away from everyone else. He was resting but his eyes were open to stare at everyone.

"So you're the famous Harry Potter?" Serenity asked, shyly glancing over at him.

"Yeah..."

"I'm sorry but... I'm very new about this whole...Well magic stuff."

He gave her a smile, " Me too. I've been raised in my Uncle and Aunt's...and they never told me about my parents being a witch and wizard."

"Oh really? I've been raised in an orphanage. It's a nice place really but I never knew my parents.."

"...Your parents died too when you were a baby?" Serenity nodded sadly as Valiant whimpered again, feeling her sadness. She looked at Harry as he took her hand and gave a sad look as well.

"Actually...they're the ones that made me famous."

Serenity was confused as Ron looked at her as if she grew another head.

"You don't know the story?"

"What story?"

"About him defeating...you-know-who." Serenity just shook her head.

"When Harry was a baby there was a powerful wizard called... well You-Know-who." Serenity looked confused as Harry whispered into her ear,

"Voldemort"

" As I was saying...The Dark Lord wanted to kill all of those who opposed him, which two of the people who opposed him were...Harry's parents. The Dark Lord used the forbidden killing spell to murder Harry's father...Then...Well..."

"My mum used every bit of her powers to give me a protection spell...He killed her and right when he tried to kill him he was gone. They say he was defeated but left me this..."

Harry lifted his hair to show the thunderbolt scar on his forehead. Serenity gave a sympathetic look as Ron said quickly,

"And that's why he's famous. But don't worry he's the same as the rest of us." Suddenly the mood was lightened again as they talked about more pleasant topics. As the trip went by they talked about stories of their lives, while Harry bought candy from the trolley (basically ALL the candy), having an escaping chocolate frog, and let Valiant of his cage out to play with everyone.

Soon a bushy haired girl popped in as well named Hermione, who was looking for a toad. Soon their little cart was full of laughs with fun as the new girl joined them. She was intelligent, though she wasn't born into a magic family, she knew more about magic compared to Ron.

Serenity got to know a lot about each person and grew to become fond of them like friends. Hermione told Serenity everything she would need to know, the bookworm of the group, telling her about the different houses: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, & Slytherin. Then telling her about the classes and more about the castle.

Ron was funny as he told her about stories and jokes of his family. He did confirm her that the two twins she saw earlier were his older brothers.

Harry was a bit different. They had good laughs hearing Hermione scolding Ron but it felt like they had a strange connection. They both had their parents taken away at young ages, but brand new to all of this as well, and most of all...just seem like they naturally bonded like brother and sister.

As they continued to chat and bond in their little booth, they all felt the train slow down. Then all the kids in the train, including themselves all started to get up, while Serenity placed Valient back in his cage. Harry tapped her shoulder to hand her cloak to her. She smiled as she reached out to get it but felt their hands touch. Suddenly she saw something.

"He's beautiful, Lily"

"I know...and so is she, Amelia."

Two women together holding babies in their hands. One had striking red hair and green eyes, while the other hand a more brown, with a tinge of gold. They we comfortably in a living room on the couch as there were two men near by smiling.

"Serenity?"

She looked back at Harry and blinked a few moments.

What was that? A vision or just a memory...forget it.

Serenity just smiled as she took her cloak from him and took Valiant and her trunk with her.

"Come on Harry! We're finally here!"

"I know I'm coming, I'm coming!" The first years entered out of the train to meet a tall, enormous, round man with a beard calling us,

"Gather around first years! My name is Hagrid, and welcome to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry!"
