I WALK THROUGH KINGS CROSS STATION IN MY DISGUISE WITH A DOG TRAILING BY MY ANKLES. Harry walks beside me, his eyes trailing to the dog as it rushes forward. We follow after him and he leads us to a Staff Only room.
My disguise flickers from my skin to reveal my true self. "Sirius, what are you doing here? If somebody sees you-" I start but get cut off by my father. "I had to see you both off, didn't I?" He wraps a black dressing gown around his body and sits down in one of the chairs. I follow his movements along with Harry.
"What's life without a little risk?" He chuckles out. "I don't want to see you get shut back in Azkaban." Harry tells my father. "Oh, don't worry about me." He reaches into the pocket of the dressing gown. "Anyway, I wanted you to have this." He leans over me to pass Harry a folded image.
Harry takes it and unfolds it. "Original Order of the Phoenix." Harry holds the image out for me to see. "Marlene McKinnon-" Sirius points to the image. "-she was killed two weeks after this was taken." Sirius looks up at Harry and I. "Voldemort wiped out her entire family." He brushes his index finger over the image to show more people.
"That's Frank and Alice Longbottom." I look at the smiling couple in the image. "Neville's parents." Harry whispers out. "They suffered a fate worse than death, if you ask me." My father's eyes skim to my face. I swallow and keep my eyes on the image. "It's been fourteen years and still a day doesn't go by I don't miss your dad." Sirius says, looking at Harry.
I see in the photo that Theodora stands beside Sirius, arm in arm. Smiling. My face falls and I stare at the image, sorrowful. I turn to look at my father. "Do you really think there's going to be a war, Sirius?" Harry asks from beside me. Sirius nods slowly, small.
"It feels like it did before." Harry extends his arm over me to give the image back to Sirius. Sirius places his hand on Harry's to stop him. "You keep it." Sirius pats his hand and leans back.
"Anyway, I suppose you're the young ones now."

The platform is crowded with people and I make my way through it with Harry's hand holding mine. Harry disappears. Everything seems to fade away and I can hear eerie voices whisper indistinctly around me.
Voldemort stand opposite me, dressed in a black suit. He cranes his neck to the side before moving it back to look at me. His eyes send shivers cascading through my body. Cold sparks down my spine and I shudder.
"You will join me."
"Never."

My eyes slowly open and I listen to the sound of the train in the tracks. Though, I am awake, I can feel something slither through me. A feeling, something I have never felt before. It makes the hair on my body stand and goosebumps crawl over my skin.
It rumbles through me and slides through the veins in my body. I don't like it, and I know it's not really my feeling, it's his.

I exit the train, with a bag slinging over my shoulder. Hermione throws me a look and I glance at her, plainly. "What's wrong?" She asks me and The Feeling shivers through my body. "Nothing." I straighten my spine.
"I'm surprised the ministry still lets you walk around free, Potter." Malfoy says, walking towards us as his minions follow behind him like lost puppies. "You better enjoy it while you can." Malfoy stands next to Harry, right in front of me.
"I expect there's a cell in Azkaban with your name in it." Malfoy goes in his face and Harry lunges for him. I take Harry's hand and grip it tightly, I tug him backwards harshly. My hair changes to a bright red. "What did I tell you? Complete nutter." Malfoy scoffs and walks away.
"Just stay away from me!"
"Fuck off you blonde twat!"
Harry and I yell out in unison and my hair spreads wildly around me, a bright blood red. Hermione grabs my hand, digging her nails into my skin. My hair returns to normal and my chest rises and falls quickly. "It's only Malfoy." Ron points out. "What did you expect." He adds and Harry nudges out of his grip. I drop his hand.
I let out a sigh and calm my raging heart. I brush a hand through my dark hair and Harry stares at me. I close my eyes, holding in a deep breath before exhaling and opening my eyes. I don't know why I'm losing my patience more. I blink my eyes as they open and Neville moves to stand by us.
"Hi guys." He says and holds a large plant. "Hi Neville." I mumble and watch as a carriage gets pulled away by Thestrals. I hear one snort behind me and I turn around to look at it. I lift a hand and it nuzzles into my palm. I find Thestrals incredibly beautiful and smart, I adore seeing them. We used to have them at Hartshorn House when I was a child.
"What is it?" Harry asks me. "A Thestral, they pull the carriages." I tell him and move my hand down.
"Nothing's pulling the carriage, it's pulling itself like always." Hermione says and Harry looks at the Thestral with curiosity in his eyes. I go and make my way into the carriage sitting beside Luna who was in my Care of Magical Creature's class last year. "You're not going mad." She says to Harry in a soft and gentle voice.
"I can see them too. You're just as sane as I am." She says with a kind smile. "How was your summer, Luna?" I ask her and she lowers her newspaper. "It was quite peaceful. How was yours?" She smiles kindly at me and everyone else gets into the carriage. "Mine wasn't very eventful. But I did learn how to ride a broom." She nods along at my words.
"That's good, I can see you as a Quidditch Player for some reason." I give her a small smile. "Everyone, this is Loony Love-" I kick Hermione's shin. "Luna Lovegood." I correct and throw Hermione a look and she clears her throat.
"What an interesting necklace." Hermione attempts to make small talk. "It's a charm, actually." She holds the charm and plays with it. "It keeps away the Nargles." She leans forward and whispers. Everyone looks uncomfortable but I smile kindly at the girl.
"Hungry." She whispers softly. "I hope there's pudding." She adds and the carriage pulls off.
