September 1977 (Three Months Later)

Gemma stood on Kings Cross platform and looked around. Students and parents bustled around her, excitement filling the air as everyone got ready to board the Hogwarts Express.

"Are you ready, darling?"

Gemma turned to her mum who was standing beside her. She smiled and nodded. "I am."

"Good." Her mum pulled her in for a tight hug, then pulled back but kept her hands on Gemma's shoulders. "You have a good final year. Work hard, but remember to enjoy yourself as well. You only get to experience Hogwarts once."

"Don't enjoy yourself too much, though." Her dad said as he eyed up the other students around them, in particular a group of sixth year boys who were standing nearby and laughing loudly. "You're not at Hogwarts to party. You're there to learn and get the grades you need to really start your life."

Gemma avoided rolling her eyes. "I know dad. I promise to work hard."

"And don't forget to apply for the programme as soon as the first of November arrives. I don't want to hear that my daughter wasn't one of the first applicants."

"I will. I'll be the very first, I promise."

Her dad nodded his approval, then looked around the platform, gruffly eyeing everyone once again. Her mum started giving her advice about being nice to the teachers, finishing assignments early and taking breaks when she could, but Gemma wasn't fully listening.

She was eager to get onto the train and back to Hogwarts. The final few weeks of last year had been quiet, and Gemma had been itching to learn new things. Over the summer she had practiced a few spells with her dad - now she was seventeen she could perform magic outside of school - and she had enjoyed the time they had spent together. He'd been a tough taskmaster, but she had appreciated it. If she was going to be half as good as him, she'd need to improve her stamina when duelling.

Gemma turned to her parents. "I should be going."

Her mum nodded and pulled Gemma into another embrace. "Be careful, darling. I know Hogwarts is safe, but we both know this war is getting dangerous. You watch your back, ok?"

Gemma smiled as she pulled out of her mums hug. "I will. I'll be safe."

She understood her mums concern. At the start of July, Voldemort and his death eaters had attacked Waterloo. The London train station had come under fire and witches, wizards and muggles had been injured; some killed. It had been a tragic start to the summer.

Gemma looked over to her dad, who had been involved in the fight. "Goodbye, dad."

After a quick hug with him, Gemma grabbed her trunk and boarded the train. She walked past a few compartments and ignored the heckles from Smethyck and Garth who were sat in a compartment with Snape and Regulus Black.

While Mulciber, Lestrange and Avery were no longer a threat in school, Gemma wondered if she would have new enemies for her final year. She sighed. Merlin she hoped not. She didn't need the distraction.
