The Potter Twins and the Philosopher's Stone [Draco Malfoy x OC]

CHAPTER 31

THIRD PERSON'S POV

The next day after the end-of-year feast, all of the students went to the train station to get back home for the summer. The students got on the train and searched for compartments to sit in.

Harry and Elysia pulled their trunk and stopped in front of Hagrid.

"Thought yer were leavin' without sayin' good-bye, didja?" Hagrid grinned at them as he reached out for a red album out of his coat pocket and handed it to Harry. "This is for yer two."

Harry opened the album and saw a picture, moving, of him and his sister as a baby with their parents. They were smiling and waving at the camera.

"Thank you, Hagrid," Elysia smiled at the picture and hugged Hagrid. "It's lovely. Thank you so much."

Harry shook Hagrid's hand and then hugged him tightly.

"Oh! Go on... on with yer." Hagrid said as Harry and Elysia let go. He tried to hold his tears from watching them leave Hogwarts, even for just a while." Oh, listen, yer two, if that dolt of a cousin of yours, Dudley, gives yer any grief, you could always, um, threaten him with a nice pair of ears to go with that tail of his."

"But Hagrid, we're not allowed to do magic away from Hogwarts." I said and finished at the same time as Harry; "You know that."

"I do but your cousin doesn't, does he? Eh?" Hagrid laughed out loud. Then, he patted their shoulders; "Now, off you go."

Elysia nodded and walked away with Harry, back to the train door where Hermione, Ron, Draco and Pansy were waiting.

"Finally going back home...!" Pansy spoke. "I'm grateful, though I think Blaise is the most grateful among all of us to be separated from Ryan."

"But it feels strange to be going home, doesn't it?" Hermoine voiced.

"We're not going home," Harry and Elysia said simultaneously, shaking their heads. "Not really."

The train whistled and they climbed aboard.

"Come on!" Pansy pulled Elysia and Draco. Harry went with Ron and Hermoine.

As the trio were about to get in an empty compartment, Elysia tripped Harry and ran off laughing with her friend to the compartment next to them.

After 8 hours of travelling inside the scarlet train, we finally arrived at King Cross. 

"Wake up, Potter. We're here," It seemed like Ryan had come from another compartment to wake Draco up, so he shook Elysia to wake her too. She opened her eyes and stretched her body before shaking Pansy and Blaise awake. Looked like Ryan already woke Laura and Caitlyn up as they rubbed their sleepy eyes.

When Blaise sleepily tried to grab his luggage, it fell on Draco's head

"Bloody hell..." Draco pushed Blaise with his elbow. He rolled his eyes and stood up. "Let's go."

Crabbe and Goyle came out from another compartment with some of Ryan's things. All students passed through the gateway together. It took just a few seconds before Laura, Caitlyn, Crabbe and Goyle were picked up by their parents.

Elysia met up with Harry, Hermione and Ron after exiting the train.

"I'll be going now, Potters," Draco yawned as he pointed in one direction. "My parents and Ryan's are here."

Elysia nodded. She walked forward and hugged him. When she let go, she waved at Ryan, "See you later, Draco. You too, Anderson."

"Write to me," Draco said shyly. "I'll try to write every single day."

"I'll try my best," Elysia chuckled. 

"Take care of yourself," Draco crossed his arms. Even though he knows just a bit about the Dursleys; He doesn't like them.

Elysia laughed, waving her hands around dismissively, "Will do."

Draco held out his hand towards Harry, "Um-- See you next year, Potter?"

Harry looked at Draco's hand for a moment and took his hand, shaking it firmly, "Yeah, see you next year, Malfoy."

"Draco, let's go... Uncle Lucius is calling," Ryan sighed. "You'll see the Potters next year, no big deal!"

Draco nodded before giving the twins his final wave before walking to his and Ryan's parents. And soon, Pansy, Laura, Caitlyn and Blaise bade their goodbyes and went towards their parents as well.

Elysia, Harry, Ron and Hermoine continued walking around the train station and then, got out of Platform 9¾.

"There he is, Mom, there he is, look!"They heard a girl shout.

"That's my sister, Ginny!" Ron declared, "Oh... but looks like she looking for you instead of me, Harry."

"Harry Potter!" Ginny squealed. "Oh! Look, Mom! I can see Elysia Potter!"

"Be quiet, Ginny, and it's rude to point," Mrs Weasley put down Ginny's pointing finger.

Mrs Weasley smiled down at them, "Busy year, my dear?" she asked. She had heard about their adventure from all of her sons.

"Very," Elysia laughed it out.

"Oh, thanks for the fudge and the sweater, Mrs. Weasley," Harry mentioned the present Mrs. Weasley gave them during Christmas. 

"Oh, it was nothing, dears," Mrs Weasley smiled--

"Ready, are you?"

The twins turned.

It was Uncle Vernon, still purple-faced, still moustached, still looking furious at our nerve, carrying an owl in a cage in a station full of 'ordinary' people. Behind him stood Aunt Petunia and Dudley, looking terrified at the very sight of Harry and Elysia.

"You must be the twins' family!" Mrs Weasley said happily.

"In a manner of speaking," Uncle Vernon said as he walked away. "Hurry up, you two, we haven't got all day."

We hung back for a last word with Ron and Hermione.

"See you over the summer, then," Ron said, giving them a sorry smile.

"Hope you have a, er... a good holiday," Hermione spoke, looking uncertainly after Uncle Vernon, shocked that anyone in their family could be so unpleasant.

"Oh, we will," The Potter twins stated with a grin. "They don't know we're not allowed to use magic at home. Oh, yes, we're going to have a lot of fun with Dudley this summer..."
