SEPTEMBER 1ST HAD QUICKLY COME AGAIN, the year was 1977 and platform nine and three quarters was unsurprisingly packed with witches and wizards getting ready to leave for Hogwarts.
Meissa was simply exhausted as she observed the busy platform and as Regulus gave their mother a quick hug goodbye. Meissa waited in silence and didn't so much as make eye contact with the woman known as her mother. As she turned to leave to free herself from her traumatic summer, Meissa was pulled sharply back with the familiar claw like fingers that had imprinted her skin many times before, she let out a quick gasp of pain as her mother purposefully gripped her arm filled with bruises and scars from the eventful summer gone by. "Now don't you dare forget about what we discussed this summer," her voice was barely above a whisper but was laced with venom "Unless you want to repeat your punishments" Meissa looked the woman directly in the eye and yanked her arm quickly out of her tight grasp, "Goodbye Mother" was all she could muster through gritted teeth as the pain in her arm began to make her feel light headed as she felt a painful wound reopen.
On the other side of the platform, a loving family with two older children were seen sharing their goodbyes as their Mum kissed both the boys cheeks twice and consumed them both in a big lovable hug. "Come on now Mia, you have to let them leave at some point" stated the amused father as he was laughing at his wife's dramatics. "I know, I'm just so proud of you both and I can't believe your head boy James, I'm the luckiest mother in the world," the curly headed boy stood proud as the other stood slightly uncomfortable looking slightly out of place and as they spotted their other friends they were forced to leave their mother and father as one shouted "Oi Moony, Wormtail over here mate" a tall scrawny boy walked over with a slight limp, and a short round boy with blond hair came slightly jogging over to keep up with the long gate of the tall one.
"This is going be the best year yet lads, I can feel it" the rest sighed as one remarked "Pads you say that every year", James groaned wiping the lipstick stains off his cheek. Sirius looking taken aback, said "And have I ever been wrong hmm?" "Yeah with basically every decision you ever make" " Ouch, now come on Prongs lighten up" as the one with the shiny badge was seen trailing behind the rest as he walked down the bustling train with his head held significantly lower than before saying a few hellos to those in passing, "Look Prongs, now that Lily dumped you, you have the whole of Hogwarts finest birds to choose from and you will see, there's plenty of fish in the sea mate, and plus I think a rebound would be the perfect way for you to get over the girl you have been desperately pining over for the past six years" "Oh for fucks sake Pads, I thought we were going to do it a little bloody gentler than that," argued the tall one "Yeah Jesus Christ Padfoot that was a bit fucking rough" piped the smaller boy, the three began to argue about tone and language, sounding like and English literature class, and they didn't seem to notice the disheartened one staying back looking out the window gloomy and noticed a girl and her mother. He observed as the mother tightly grabbed the girl's arm, her small gasp of pain not escaping his notice. Unable to look away, he watched the scene unfold until the girl, unsteady and disoriented, hesitantly boarded the train in the closest door. Behind her, a younger boy followed, engaged in a trailing slowly after the girl into a door further down.
"Fuck me" exclaimed Meissa as she fell downwards "Oh for fucks sake, watch where your bloody going would you", "Why the fuck were you standing in the middle of the fucking corridor like fucking David" James and Meissa were found in a lump on the floor cursing each other into oblivion, with James on the top as they struggled to get up with the small space of room in the hall. As Meissa put her pressure on her hurt arm to get up she immediately fell back down with a small yelp and James locked eyes with her for a moment with a strange look of concern in his eyes. Meissa finally regained composure and came back to herself as she roared "GET THE FUCK OFF ME RIGHT NOW POTTER OR I SWEAR TO MERLIN YOU WON'T MAKE IT OFF THIS BLOODY TRAIN ALIVE!"
