Chapter 6: Departure for Hogwarts

The day had finally arrived—the day Lyanna and Draco would board the Hogwarts Express and begin their magical education at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. As they stood on the platform of King's Cross Station, the air tinged with excitement and anticipation, Lyanna couldn't help but feel a flutter of nervousness in her stomach.

Narcissa stood beside them, her expression a mix of pride and sadness as she watched her children prepare to embark on this new chapter of their lives. Draco, ever the picture of stoicism, straightened his robes with a sense of purpose, though Lyanna could see the disappointment in his eyes at his father's absence.

"I wish Father could be here," Draco muttered, his voice tinged with frustration.

Narcissa placed a comforting hand on his shoulder, her gaze softening. "I know, my dear," she said gently. "But he's busy with important matters at the Ministry. He sends his best wishes for a successful school year."

Draco nodded, though his disappointment was evident. Lyanna reached out and squeezed his hand, offering him a reassuring smile. "We'll make the most of it, Draco," she said quietly. "We have each other, after all."

With a determined nod, Draco straightened his shoulders, a steely resolve settling over him. "You're right, Lyanna. Let's go make our mark at Hogwarts."

As they boarded the train and found an empty compartment, Lyanna felt a surge of excitement mingled with nerves. Hogwarts awaited them, a place of magic and mystery, of friendship and adventure. She couldn't wait to see what lay ahead.

As the train pulled out of the station and began its journey to Hogwarts, Lyanna and Draco settled into their seats, their minds buzzing with anticipation. They were soon joined by a group of fellow students, each one eager to make new friends and begin their own Hogwarts journey.

Among them were familiar faces—Draco's future sidekicks, Crabbe and Goyle, with their rough-and-tumble demeanor and fierce loyalty. Lyanna greeted them warmly, her nerves easing as she found herself surrounded by friendly faces.

As the train rattled on through the countryside, Lyanna and Draco chatted animatedly with their new friends, sharing stories of their childhoods and their hopes for the future. The journey to Hogwarts stretched out before them, a winding path filled with endless possibilities.

And as they laughed and joked together, Lyanna couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement building within her. Hogwarts was just the beginning, she realized—a stepping stone to a world of magic and adventure beyond her wildest dreams. And with Draco by her side and new friends at her back, she knew that whatever lay ahead, she was ready to face it head-on.
