come morning light,
you and i'll be
safe and sound

FIRST OF SEPTEMBER

ANASTASIA WATCHED THE PLATFORM IN AWE. It was unlike anything she had ever seen, and she couldn't wipe the grin off her face. In every direction she looked, students moved around, saying goodbye to their families, ready to begin a new year at Hogwarts. It was a welcome change to having only Narcissa for company for weeks on end.

Druella fussed with the collar of Anastasia's brand new Hogwarts robes. "Have you both everything you need?" She questioned, patting the collar flat. "Your father and I do not wish to owl anything you've left behind." She shook her head.

Narcissa nodded, lifting her trunk off the trolley to place on the train. "Yes, I made sure to check again last night to see if the house elves missed anything. I'm quite sure I've got it all." She pulled her bag over her shoulders.

Anastasia, her hair a flaming red, moved about constantly, too full of excitement to sit still. "I've got everything!" She replied, nodding enthusiastically, as she jumped up and down in an attempt to run off and board the train faster. "I've double and triple checked this morning! May we please go, now?!"

"Very well, then." Druella nodded, releasing Anastasia from her grip and taking a step back. "Anastasia, I should not need to repeat myself again. Fix your hair. If I hear of you not controlling your little 'problem', there will be consequences when you return home." She warned. "Make sure to be on your best behaviour, girls. You are pure bloods and therefore should act as such. If you are to see Andromeda, you are not to speak to her under any circumstances. She is a stranger and a blood traitor. Understood?" When the girls nodded, she continued. "Goodbye, girls. I expct you home for Christmas."

"Goodbye, Mother." Narcissa leaned forward, placing a kiss on Druella's cheek. "I'll write to you once I've arrived, and settled in." She bid her goodbye, and headed off in the direction of the train.

"Bye Mother, I'll write to you all the time!" Anastasia faded her hair back to it's natural blonde and smiled, reaching forward to hug her briefly. After pulling back, she lifted the cage of her new owl, Freya, into her hands and ran after Narcissa, unwilling to lose her so quickly. "Wait for me, Cissy!"

Anastasia bounded onto the train behind Narcissa. They paused when they were in to face each other. "So, are you going to find your own friends now?" She asked.

"Yes, I think so." Narcissa nodded, placing an arm on the side of Anastasia's shoulder. "I'm sorry, I just don't believe they'd want a first year around with them, you understand of course. I'll see you at the feast tonight, okay?" She reassured.
