Marcus had been complaining the whole way to Platform 9 and 3/4, tugging on Mattheo's arm in protest because he'd got to the age where all he wanted to do was whine and moan about anything and everything. When Delphia received her letter from Hogwarts the first words out of his mouth were: "Why does she get one and I don't?!" He really was a little Mattheo; he complained about anything.

Once we'd reached the wall between the platforms, Delphia gripped onto my hand harder than ever as we ran full force into the bricks and came out safely on the other side. We moved out the way to ensure that we didn't get hit by Mattheo, Marcus and the trolley. A loud whistle caught our attention as we turned our heads in unison to see Leon, Lexi and Charlie.

"Uncle Leon!" Delphia exclaimed as she ran towards him.

"How's my little superstar?" he asked, ruffling her hair.

"Nervous," she admitted.

"Nervous?" He repeated. "You have nothing to be nervous about, isn't that right Dee?"

"Absolutely nothing," I confirmed. She let out a deep exhale of breath. "Come on sweetie, you need to get on the train."

Mattheo had gone to drop off her cases at the end of the train. Marcus clung onto his hand, dragging him back towards us as he chuckled. "Alright, alright!" Mattheo said as he came back to stand with us. "Okay, Marcus, say goodbye to your sister,"

Marcus rolled his eyes. "Bye." He stated simply not even looking at her.

Delphia giggled before enveloping him in a hug and smothering his face in kisses. "Goodbye baby brother. I'll miss you!" she teased.

"Ew get off of me!" He protested but couldn't help but let out a laugh.

She finally released him before giving her Dad a hug goodbye. "Bye Daddy!"

"Ugh, my little girl is all grown up and going to Hogwarts!" Mattheo said into her shoulder as he crouched down for her. "I'm gonna miss you Delphi,"

"I'm gonna miss you too, Daddy." She squeezed him harder before reluctantly letting go.

"Be good for Uncle Enzo, okay," he said to her giving her a stern look. Enzo was the DADA professor and had been for several years now.

"Yeah, yeah, I will!" She said. Mattheo hugged her one more time before finally letting her go.

"You have a little something in your eye there," Leon said pointing to Mattheo's face.

"Shut up, I do not," he dismissed looking away and shoving Leon's hand out of his face.
