The Next Golden Trio: A Harry Potter Next Gen Tale... [ON HOLD]

22

I know I said it was over, but this draft has been sitting in my wattpad for almost a year now, I might as well publish it. But after this, it's really over....

{Rose}

I snap the clasps on my trunk shut.
"Rosie! We have to leave nowww!" My little sister Sarah yells, sticking her head around my bedroom door.
"I'm coming!" I tell her as I heave my trunk off my bed and haul it downstairs.
"Everyone ready?" My mum calls from the front door, "Rose, Remus?"
"I'm here!" I say, pushing my trunk down the stairs. It smashes into the wall at the end of the stairs with a terrific CRASH.
"Rose!" Mum scolds, fixing the dent in the wall with her wand.
"Ron?" She yells, "Ron? Where's Hugo?"
Dad darts out of Hugo and Remus' room, and Hugo follows him sullenly.
"How come I can't go to Hogwarts?" He moans.
"Hugo, kid, we've talked about this, you're not 11 till January, which means you can't start till next year." Dad explains, for like the twelfth time that morning.
"But Lily's going!" Hugo says grumpily, walking down the stairs as slowly as possible.
"Yes, because Lily turned 11 in June!" I snap at him.
Hugo glares at me.
"C'mon! I'm starting second year! We can't be late!" I tell him.
"Brat," he mutters.
I roll my eyes.
"Hugo, be nice to your sister!" Dad says, "Quick! Everyone into the car."
All four of us kids climb into the surprisingly roomy back seat. Mum drives and Dad sits next to her.
We arrive at Kings Cross with five minutes to spare and rush to find a trolley to put my trunk onto.
We charge through the barrier, (much to Mum's annoyance, "What if some muggles saw, Ron?") and arrive on platform nine and three quarters.
The majestic scarlet steam engine sits at the station with only two minutes to spare, there is no time to find Al, Lily and the others, so I say good bye to Mum, Dad, Hugo, Remus and Sarah, hugging them all each in turn.
"I'll miss you guys," I say to them, giving Sarah an extra hug.
"Us too," Mum smiles.
"Don't study too hard," Dad says.
"But try your best," Mum tells me.
"Just have fun," Dad hugs me and gives me a kiss the forehead.
"Love you Rosie!" Sarah mumbles, hugging my legs.
"I love you too," I chuckle, and with that I heave my trunk onto the train as the doors shut and the train starts to chug out of the station. I stick my head out the window to wave to them all. Hugo, Remus and Sarah chase the train, running and screaming. Then we turn the corner an they are gone.
I pull my trunk along the train, searching the carriages until finally I found Al.
"Rose!" He says, opening the carriage door and giving me a hug, "We were wondering were you were, we hoped you hadn't taken the flying car!"
I laugh, 'taking the flying car' is a joke in our family, because once Dad and Uncle Harry had missed the train and had instead taken a flying car to school! It's definitely one of my favourite of their stories.
Charlie Longbottom, Uncle Neville and Aunt Luna's oldest child, and Lily are also in the carriage.
"Hey guys," I say giving them a hug each in turn, "Excited?"
Lily nods, "I can't wait! I hope we're in Gryffindor with you!" She says; Charlie nods and smiles, but looks slightly sick and doesn't say anything.
"Don't worry, Charlie," I tell him, "you are going to love Hogwarts.
"God, I hope so," he says, and I laugh, sitting down next to Lily.

{Albus}
I stick my head out the compartment door, "Where do reckon Scor- I mean, um, him, he- Where do you think he is?" I ask Rose.
"You mean Scorpius?" Lily prompts.
I look at Rose, raising my eyebrows, "You told them?"
Rose bites her lip and shrugs.
"You realise I'm Rose's other best friend, and Charlie's my other one," Lily tells me matter-of-factly.
"Why do girls tell each other everything?" I ask Charlie; he shrugs.
"Well I'm gonna go find him."
I walk up and down the corridor, trying to find Scorp.
A girl with dark auburn hair drags her trunk along, peeking into different compartments.
"Um, is there a certain compartment you have to sit in?" She asks me, turning around.
I try not to laugh, "No. Do want to come sit in our compartment? My sister is in first year too."
"Yeah, that'd be great," she smiles, "I'm Autumn, by the way."
"Albus," I tell her, "our compartment is this way."
