Chapter 8: King's Cross

This probably about a week later.

"Lily! Come on, dear! We'll be late" Mrs. Evans called to Lily.

"Coming Mom!" she screamed back.

Mr. Evans came into the room with a frown on his face, "Severus, are your parents not coming? I would love to meet them."

"Oh, no, sir! They both work today, but they said to thank you for all that you're doing for me today," I lied.

"That's all right… I guess just write to them when you get to school to tell them that we drove you and you got there safely," he smiled at me.

"Thank you, sir. I will," I promised. He then tried to give another smile except it was pained. And he was giving me that look. And then I knew- despite all of the hiding and sneaking around, he must know. There is no other reason he'd give me those looks. I don't understand why though. I hid it well... Oh, whatever, the point is that he knows- but I don't think he'll tell Lily. I hope not-

Suddenly Lily came bounding down the stairs, distracting my thoughts, "MOM, I'm ready! Let's go!"

"Wow, think that was loud enough? I don't think the neighbors heard you," I smirked.

"Haha, very funny," she said sarcastically.

"Petunia, sweetheart, are coming down? We're leaving with your sister to go to the train station? Don't you want to see your sister off?" Mr. Evans tried to persuade the stubborn girl.

Petunia opened her door for a quick second, "Off to that freak school! No way!"

Lily shook her head, "I hope she can forgive me someday."

"She will. I think she just misses having you all the time and this is her way of reacting to it. It has nothing to do with you- you'll see: she'll come around," I promise.

"I hope you're right" she said as she got into the car.

…

"So where is it Sev?" Lily asked looking down at her ticket.

"Where is what?" I ask, uneasy. I was certain I saw Dad here.

"Platform 9 ¾. Are you alright?" Lily looked up to me.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm fine. It should be between 9 and 10," I answer.

"Well obviously, but how do we get there?" Lily snorted.

I had only heard stories: "I don't know."

"Ughhh" Lily moaned. I rolled my eyes and looked behind her to see someone wearing robes.

"Look! Over there! I see another wizard," I turn Lily and her family over to where the other wizards were.

"Good call, Sev," Lily whispered to me. "...Excuse me sir, do you happen to know how to get Platform 9 3/4?

"Oh, of course, why its straight through that brick wall," the wizard smirked.

"You've got to be kidding me!" Lily moaned.

"Nope... Look," and he proceeded to show us, by taking his stuff and running THROUGH a wall, disappearing to whatever was on the other side.

Lily and I look at eachother, knowing what we had to do.

"Well, I guess this is goodbye. Bye Mum. Bye Dad," Lily said and hugged her parents, as they started to tear up.

"By Mr. and Mrs. Evans. Thank you again for everything," I give them each a hug.

Then, Lily and I turn back to each other, holding hands as we raced at the door.

Guys, I don't think I'm feeling this anymore- I think I'm gonna call it quits on this story: I had a plan, but I'm just not feeling it anymore. Maybe I'll write more at a later point. But look for the next story I'm thinking of writing- I'm a bit more excited for that: it'll be called "The Regrets of the Potions Master". I'm not gonna change his childhood, or time at Hogwarts (I honestly couldn't write romance if my life depended on it)- just his life afterwards. It will start when he asks Dumbledore to protect Lily and the child.
