No one in Hogwarts remembered she used to have a brother, if they could they'd said there was no way they were siblings. Olivia knew this very well, but the shame she felt when people murmured about her was nothing, because in the end being so diffe...

Hogwarts express, 1971.
The morning of the first of September of 1971 Olivia woke up with the biggest smile on her face, she was going to Hogwarts. There was no one more excited than her, well probably Thomas, he couldn't believe her little sister was finally attending Hogwarts. The whole ride was spent in silence, as always, but this ride was different. Olivia felt some different kind of excitement, the kind that made her cheeks hurt just from smiling. When she crossed the platform for the first time, she felt more magical than ever.
"I don't know why we come here," said Antoni Nott: Olivia's father.
"Let's just send the children on their way and we'll be back home," said Prisha Nott. When she used the word home Thomas smirked and laughed inside.
"That is not what I mean, of course we'll get there," said Antoni and then continued, "What I mean is that I don't know why we bother coming here and giving the same speech we always give Antoine if he doesn't even care, and this year is not different," finished Antoni looking at Prisha and then he looked at Olivia, "Antoinette,you better behave," was the only thing his father said to her after walking away. Olivia always find it funny that her father was the only person that called her by her middle name, Thomas said it was an ego thing, and as always she believed Tommy.
Prisha Nott stood there still looking at her children, the look on her face would make you think she was void of any emotion, but to her children she looked almost happy. "I hope you're happy Thomas," Thomas looked at her, "Now, your father doesn't have the strength to give you the speech and neither have I, you never listen, but this year is your last, you are practically an adult," Prisha smiled, "I don't have any threats for you anymore, just a warning," and then she turned to Olivia, "You better behave Olivia, and for your own sake I hope everything I told you before coming here really sinked in," Olivia only nodded in agreement and watched as Prisha Nott walked away.
"Look at me liv," Thomas spoke softly once their parents were out of sight, "Everything it's going to be fine," said Thomas trying to ease the nervousness in his little sister and grabbing her hand. "Let's go, we have to find a compartment," Olivia nodded and smiled, she felt relief, for the first time she wasn't under her parents gaze. Olivia was happy and eager to get to Hogwarts.

Once Thomas and Olivia finally found a compartment, she couldn't hide her happiness, it was like she would explode from everything she was feeling, she even forgot all the stress she was in that morning listening to her mother. She decided to sit close to the window to watch all the parents saying their goodbyes to their children.
