So, here's chapter two of After All Was Well!
"Oi, Domi!" James shouted. "Over here!"
Dominique walked towards, her favourite cousin (not that she'd ever tell the others) and best friends, James Potter.
"Alright, James?" She asked with a smile.
"Dominique, James said that you need to draw blood to see what house you're in like in Divergent!" Little Lily cried, from where she was standing next to Ginny.
"Lily, do you really think I could've done that? I hate blood, remember?" Dominique replied, before turning to smack James. "You said that?"
"Ouch, woman, watch it!" He winced in pain, rubbing his now very red arm. "It was only a laugh."
"So, I take it you liked Divergent then?" She sighed.
"Yeah, I finished it last night." He replied.
"It's only taken him all summer." Albus said as he passed them, going to talk to Rose.
"So, are you going to read Insurgent then?" Dominique asked, waving at Lucy who was bouncing on the balls of her feet.
"There's more?" James cried in shock.
"Well, yeah." Dominique nodded. "You didn't think that's how it ended, did you?"
"I thought it was just one of those books where it made you ponder life." He said.
"My fabulous brother, ladies and gentlemen." Lily mumbled, sarcastically.
"Dominique!" Fleur called, from where she was standing in conversation with Audrey.
"I'll be back in a minute." Dominique muttered to James, before walking over her mother. "Yes, Maman?"
Fleur Weasley had grown gracefully over the years and still held the same beauty and elegance as her younger self had despite having three children, albeit she did look older now. Her English had improved greatly but she still could not pronounce her H's.
"Now, I want you to have a very good term at 'Ogwarts and please try not to get as many detentions as you did last year. I do not want another letter 'ome on the first night. I know that you love your Quidditch but please do all of your 'omework as well." She said with a smile.
"Maman, I'm Quidditch captain so I need to focus-"Dominique started to protest.
"Yes, I know you do, but it is O.W.L year this year and I just want you to do your best." Fleur smiled. "'Ave a good year, ma cherie."
"I will, maman." Dominique smiled, turning to talk to her father.
"Right now, Dom, I want you to listen very carefully to what I'm about to say." Bill instructed.
Bill Weasley, once handsome in his youth now bore several scars across his face not quite hiding his natural good looks. His hair was now considerably shorter than it had been but could still fit into a ponytail.
Dominique nodded warily.
"I want you to have a good year at Hogwarts. And by good I mean try not to get into detention every other night of the week with James, ok? And try and get your homework in on time, study for your O.W.L's and don't neglect your Quidditch duties. But most importantly I want you to have fun, ok? Don't get too stressed out. Have a good year, yeah?" He said, with a huge grin.
"Yeah," She agreed.
Looking around Dominique saw that Lucy was being hugged tightly by Auntie Audrey whilst Molly was trying to avoid a conversation with Uncle Percy by tying her shoelaces, James and Albus were being crushed by Auntie Ginny who had her arms wrapped around them as Uncle Harry was giving Lily the 'It-doesn't-matter-what-house-you're-in-because-we'll-love-you-no-matter-what' talk, Rose was saying goodbye to Auntie Hermione while looking at Scorpius do the same with his parents and Uncle Ron was telling Hugo that he better not be in Slytherin unless he wants to sleep outside during the summer, Auntie Angelina was fussing over Roxanne's jacket as Uncle George clapped Fred on the back, and finally her mother was warning Louis to behave.
"Domino, can I talk to you?" Teddy asked, coming up beside her.
"Mmhmm." She replied.
"It's about your sister," He began.
"Just tell her how you feel!" Dominique interrupted.
"I can't, Domino!" Teddy protested.
"And why not? You KISSED her two years ago!" She pointed out.
"Yeah and nothing happened! Then at Christmas she came home telling us all about Parker!" Teddy argued.
"Seriously, Ted? His name is PARKER! PARKER! It's, practically, the worlds most STUPID name!" Dominiqued said.
"And Teddy isn't?" He mumbled.
"'Course not! You're named after a fallen soldier! And, besides, your name isn't actually Teddy, it's Edward."
"So what? It doesn't matter what our names are, Domino. She chose him."
"She didn't choose him. He asked her out and YOU hadn't contacted her in two months after you kissed her!"
"I know it's my fault! You don't have to rub it in!"
"I'm not rubbing it in, Ted, I'm proving a point."
"Well, even so…. Oh bloody hell! Speak of the devil's" Teddy groaned, as Victoire walked past them with Parker who had his arm around her.
"See! Look at them!" Dominique pointed.
"Yes, I can see them very well, Dominique!" He snapped.
"She doesn't love him, Teddy." She insisted.
"Look! He's all over her!"
"No, he's not Teddy! They're just walking!" Dominique defended.
"I don't care what they're doing at all!" Teddy denied
"Yes you do, Teddy. I see the way you look at her and I see the way she looks at you." She said softly.
"Well, what do you suggest I do? Because she's not ending it with Parker any time soon, is she?" He demanded.
"I don't know but-" She started.
"Hi, Mini!" Victoire greeted, throwing her arms around Dominique. "I hope you have a really good year at Hogwarts!"
"Thanks, Vic. I-"
"Come on, Domi, we need to get on the train and find Lorcan and Alice." James said grabbing her hand, having finally escaped from Ginny.
"Bye Vic, bye Teddy." She bade farewell.
James pulled Dominique towards the Hogwarts Express.
"Au revoir, Maman! Bye, Dad!" Dominique called over her shoulder, as she lifted her trunk onto the Hogwarts Express.
Walking down the corridor, Dominique and James looked in every compartment to see if it contained their friends. Until, Dominique noticed that the next compartment they came to contained Lysander Scamander (Lorcan's twin), Lucas Nott and Samuel Higgs.
"Just a second, James, I'm going to ask Lysander if he's seen Lorcan" She said to her cousin.
Dominique knocked on the door before sliding it open slowly.
"Hi, I was just wondering if you know where Lorcan is." She said.
"He's next door waiting for you, James and Alice." Lysander asked, smiling.
"Ok, thanks."
She closed the door and repeated Lysander's words to James, who proceeded to walk to the consecutive compartment and open the door.
"Hi, Lorcan," He said as Dominique followed him into the compartment. "Alice not here yet?"
"No, she's invisible." Lorcan replied sarcastically.
"Haha, very funny." James rolled his eyes. "Speaking of invisible, I found during the holidays that Dad gave Albus his invisibility cloak in his first year!"
"Talk about favouritism." Dominique replied. "It's not like you stole the Marauders Map or anything."
"Yeah, well I stole that during the Christmas Holidays when we were in first year but Dad gave Albus the cloak the day before his first day ever at Hogwarts!" He exclaimed.
"Maybe he just gave it to him so that he didn't feel left out because you have something." Lorcan suggested.
"Maybe, but then that's not fair on Lily because she doesn't have anything." James replied.
"Yeah, but when you leave school she'll get the map and when Albus goes she'll get the cloak." Dominique pointed out.
"That's true." James mused.
At that moment the train started moving and they all leaned against the window to wave goodbye to their parents.
"Um, where's Alice?" Lorcan asked, once they'd sat back down.
"She's probably just looking for us." James decided.
"I hope so; she's usually here by now." Dominique said, worriedly.
"She'll turn up." James reassured.
But Dominique wasn't convinced.
So, thats chapter two.
Let me know what you think!
