Cause You're My Zing

Chapter 1

Daniel got off the Express at the same time as his best friend Cedric, passing the students who were reuniting with their parents and chatting amongst themselves.

"Are you really going to do this trip around the world?" Cedric asked.

Daniel nodded. "Yes, I have been planning that trip for the past two years once I finally get the approval of my mother."

Cedric winced as he remembered her reaction the first time he'd told her about it... "Is that why you turn down the Puddlemere United offer?"

Daniel shakes his head. "Not exactly, I've never been interested in a professional career, so that wasn't a reason why I turned them down."

Cedric nodded. "Even I'm not too sure about the offers I received."

They continued talking and it wasn't long before Daniel spotted a group of people. "Well, there's my family, I'll see you later!"

"You better come and see me before you go on your trip!" Cedric called out.

Daniel gives his best friend a thumbs-up and heads for his family, and as he approaches them, he hears them talking amongst themselves.

"So how was your first year at Hogwarts sweetheart?" James asked.

Jasmine smiled widely. "It was amazing! And I made so many friend too!"

Lily smiled at the enthusiasm with which her youngest was telling them about her first year, before looking around for someone. "Where's Daniel? He should be here by now..."

Sirius shrugged his shoulder. "He's probably with a girl."

Jasmine tilted her head, confused. "Since when does Danny have a girlfriend?"

"He doesn't have one, but I saw him with Cedric earlier." Harry said, before spotting his older brother walking towards them. "Oh, there he is."

Daniel smiled at them. "Hey, guys-" He was immediately grabbed in a hug. "Hi mom."

"Oh! I'm so proud of you, baby." Lily gushed.

"Mom...." Daniel sighed.

"You know she can't help it, this is a proud moment." James said smiling. "Which is why once we get home we will have a small party."

"A party?"

James nodded. "Something small to celebrate this great achievement and which could be our last chance to spend time together as a family before Daniel leaves on his trip."

Which prompt Lily to hug her son tighter.... Then it wasn't long before they start crossing the platform towards floos so they could get back home. Once home, they quickly organized a little party with a cake and a few small gifts that would come in handy during Daniel's trip, they then played a few family games to spend as much time as possible with Daniel, they know they have a week before he leaves on his trip, but they want to cherish these moments as much as possible since they won't see him again for a year.

One week later...

The Potter family where at an airport to say goodbye to Daniel, Jasmine was tearfully hugging Daniel.

"I'm going to miss you so much!" Jasmine said, hugging her big brother tightly.

"It's gonna be okay, time will flew by so fast that you won't even notice that a year has already gone by." Daniel reassured. "And you know what?"

"What...?"

"I will send letters every two weeks and... I'll also be sending souvenirs from the countries I've visited." Daniel said.
