Denial is First Step to Acceptance

2. Destination Hogwarts

James, a tall, handsome, raven haired boy whose hair stuck up at the back, was starting his second year, and Robin, a pretty, waist-length shining black haired girl who looked nothing like her parents, starting her first year and Hogwarts.

“Bye Mum! Bye Dad!” James and Robin said to her parents.

“Don’t forget to send letters to us Robin!” My mum, Regina Potter said, happy tears leaking from her stunning blue eyes.

“Quick! Or we’ll miss your first year Robin!” James yelled urgently as he dragged his trunk towards the Hogwarts express, who was moving at a fast pace.

“Okay, coming!” Robin said pushing her trunk instead, panting. “Whoa... so heavy...”

“do you want me to help? You seem tired.” A handsome voice said.

I look up to see a boy with elbow-length straight black hair that cascaded around his handsome face.

“If you’re alright with it, you know... You don’t have to...” Robin mumbled, wondering why such a handsome boy would go to help her of all people.

“But Alas! I have never found a prettier girl yet! My dear, I am pleased to help a... Damsel in distress! You may call me! Wait for pause please” He said dramatically, withdrawing an imaginary sword. “SIR. SIRIUS ORION BLACK!”

“Sirius! Step away from the girl!” yelled a voice.

James was walking closer and closer. Sirius’s face broke into an even bigger grin at the sight of James.

“ahh! My dear James! And in what relation is this beauty to you?” Sirius said, quizzically, placing his forefinger and thumb into an ‘L’ shape and placing it beneath his chin. She could feel her cheeks burning. She wasn’t really; she was exactly like James, except for a body built for a female, waist length, black hair with light streaks of red tied loosely to the side and stunning blue eyes with flecks of gold.

“I’m his sister.” Robin said quietly.

Sirius jumped in surprise. He evidently forgot about her.

“S-sister?” He whispered.

“Yes Sir Sirius Orion Black? Can you hear. Ssss. Eeee. Ssss. Turrrr. Can you say that?” Robin said, my confidence being its usual height, with my brother there.

“STOP FLIRTING AND GET ON THE DAMN TRAIN YOU IDIOTS!” James yelled, half frustrated half amused.

“Righto Jamsie. Now, if you don’t mind, I’ll take that!” He said, picking up my trunk.

“Flirting? What in Godrics name are you talking about? I hardly know this knight!” Robin yelled back.

“Glad you think I'm a knight gorgeous.” Sirius winked. “Now, let’s hurry up before Jamsie here accuses us again.”

After running back and forth trying to find an empty compartment, James and Sirius finally stopped to a halt, forcing Robin to crash into a very hard back, belonging to Sirius.

“I see you just can’t stay away from me hey Gorgeous?” Sirius said, giving her a cheeky smile.

“As much of a chance of James fixing his eyesight.” Robin said, returning a sly smirk.

“A fifty-fifty chance then I suppose. Sirius said.

“Good lord! Weren’t you his friend since first sight?! You realise him getting his eyesight back is a definite negative?” Robin said, arranging my face into what looked like pure shock.

“if you two love-birds finished talking about me...” James said loudly.

“One more word James. Dad did teach me the bat-bogey hex and I’ve just about perfected it...” Robin lied.
