Authors Note: OK I got bored and started to write the next chapter, so I did, DON'T OWN HP!
Carter woke up in pain at seven am on September 1st 2017, she muffled her screams, and decided to check that she had everything for Hogwarts, including her photo album she had been given for her birthday, and the letter she found in her jacket from her parents, despite it being worthless to any other person, it meant the world to Carter, because it was the last piece of correspondence that she would ever have with her parents in her life. After checking her things, she made her way down the stairs and ate breakfast where Andromeda said that Teddy would take her to Platform 9¾ via apparition.
At 10am, Carter and Teddy were about to leave, Carter decided to thank Andromeda for everything she had done for her, and then they left. An apparition later they arrived just outside Kings Cross Station, they started walking, until Teddy saw Victorie and left Carter with no devices, and no way navigating to the Platform.
Suddenly she saw a family with a boy around twelve with black hair pointing in all directions annoying another boy around eleven who had green eyes and similar hair to his brother, and a small girl around nine years old with bright red hair, who was holding onto her mother's hand. The mother was in a deep discussion with the family's father.
"You may be in Slytherin." Said the elder brother
"No James, I won't be in Slytherin" said the other son. After hearing some of the argument, Carter then decided to ask about Hogwarts or Platform 9¾.
"Um… Excuse Me" she asked timidly
"Yes" answered the father, who as Carter noticed looked very similar to his younger son.
"Could you please tell me where Platform 9¾ is?" Carter asked
"Sure, it's through the brick wall between Platforms 9 and 10." He replied
"Thank you!" she exclaimed
"Where are your parents?" asked James
"They're not here and my guardian left to go and snog his girlfriend senseless." She replied before running off towards the platform.
Carter ran and ran, and expected the smash, that never came, instead she went through the brick wall, and was amazed by the sight of the Hogwarts Express, and the sign saying Platform 9¾. Carter realised that she was blocking the doorway and went to put her trunk on the train. She lifted up the trunk into the compartment when a flicker of the pain started again, she mumbled a thank you to the man who helped her place it in, and went to go and sit in a compartment. Luckily the pain didn't last for a long time, then the conductor said that they were about to leave.
Slowly the train departed, and Carter saw Teddy waving, and the family she asked directions from there. After the train had departed, Carter grabbed her photo album and started looking through the photos, when a boy with white-blonde hair entered the compartment, he looked at her and said "Do you mind if I sit with you?"
Carter honestly did not mind and simply nodded, before either could introduce themselves another two people entered, and Carter recognized that one of them was the boy saying that he would not be in Slytherin, and a pretty girl with red bushy hair and many freckles.
"Can we please join you, we were sitting somewhere else, but then my idiot of a brother kicked us out?" said the boy
Carter just simply nodded permitting them both to sit in the compartment, with that she put the photo album away.
"I'm Carter Elisabeth Nickel by the way." She stated
"Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy." Said the blonde boy
"Rose Hermione Weasley" said the redheaded girl
"Al "said the other boy
"Come on Al, we all said our full names you can too." Said Rose
"Albus Severus Potter" he replied in an annoyed tone
"So, what house do you think you will be in, I honestly hope I'm in Gryffindor, I mean Mum and Dad, and the rest of Dad's family have been in it, I guess I could be in Ravenclaw also, and Dad wants me to be in Gryffindor, all I want to do is to be put where I belong and to do well in my exams." Said Rose in one breath.
"Geez, Rose, like your parents much?" asked Al rhetorically "I don't know"
"Any, I don't mind, I'm not my dad" said Scorpius
"I don't know, my parents were in Gryffindor, but everyone on my mother's side except my grandfather was in Slytherin." Said Carter
Then the two groups went into different conversations Scorpius and Rose started talking about parents and other stuff. Meanwhile Al and Carter were discussing their encounter in the station
"You look like your father" said Carter
"Your guardian is an idiot" said Al
"YEAH, but he is quite sweet as well, when he wants to be." Replied Carter
They kept to their private conversations until the food trolley came through. Carter wanted to have heaps of food, but didn't have any money from her parents vault. The others were hungry and bought things, and decided to share despite Carter not wanting to steal their food. She ate a chocolate frog and to her surprise it was Al's father Harry Potter. She stayed quiet and they all saw the card and wondered why she didn't mention it.
"He's still human, even if he is Harry Potter, I know what he has done, but it is not our abilities that make us who we are, it is our choices." She replied, and then they dropped the subject.
The subject of conversation had changed to family; "I have a younger brother named Hugo, and my parents are Ron and Hermione Weasley, then my extensive amount of cousins." Said Rose
"Just me, Mum and Dad in my family, we don't really talk to the others, but I don't really talk to Dad." Said Scorpius
"My dad is Harry Potter and my Mum is Ginny Potter, I have the idiot of a brother James and my sister Lily and all the cousins" said Al. Carter stayed quiet the entire conversation and this didn't go unnoticed by the others. "What about you Carter?"
Carter didn't know or want to say that her parents and siblings were dead, because she didn't want the sympathy, and came up with the quickest lie possible. "It's just me Mum and Dad, at home, but they needed a holiday, but couldn't take me, so I stayed here with my closest relatives."
The others kept talking among themselves while Carter, was thinking about her family, and what they would have thought of her now. Memories flooded through her mind, birthdays, Christmases, the murders of her parents and her sisters. After a while Victorie entered and just simply mentioned that they should change now, and acknowledged her cousins before leaving. After that they finally arrived, and heard a voice saying "Firs' Years this way!"
Carter was introduced to Hagrid and they went over the lake and headed to the castle, when they entered the entrance hall, they met a wizard…
