People start to get up believing they are finally done only to sit down again when the screen lights up.

Platform 9 ¾, September 1, 1892

Lara waves goodbye to her mother as the Hogwarts Express pulls out of the station. She goes to find Natty and Poppy who have decided to join her on the Express for their final year of Hogwarts.

Lara: "Hi girls!" She says when she finds them, the trio all hug before they sit down to talk about their summers.

Lily starts to tear up, reminded of her best friends Marlene McKinnon and Dorcas Meadowes who were both killed by Death Eaters during the war. She remembers how excited she would be to see them on the train after not seeing them all summer.

Lara: "So I have something to show you guys." She fiddles with her necklace whose charm looks like the ancient magic rune. (A/N: I'm referring to the 'Handcrafted necklace' you get for completing the main story.)

Lara: "After my first year I went to Gringotts and took an inheritance test. I discovered a lot of surprising information, but we can talk about that later. I learned I have a creature inheritance." The girls gasp, Poppy bounces in her seat in excitement begging her to tell them what it said.

People can't help but laugh at Poppy's excitement.

"Wait, if this is her seventh-year she would be seventeen, but she doesn't look like an elf." Harry points out.

"She could be using a glamour, seeing as she lives in the Muggle world outside of school it would make sense that she would want to hide her appearance." Amelia suggests.

Lara removes her necklace, when she does her eyes turn a beautiful blue and her ears become pointy.

People gasp seeing Lara's Elven form.

"She is so pretty."  Elizabeth says at a loss for words.

Luna gazed upon Lara with a feeling of great reverence.

James and Lily were too stunned to speak.

Her friends gasp, Poppy is fascinated by her ears and can't help but touch them until she realises what she's doing and apologises.

Poppy: "Amazing." She blushes in embarrassment.

Lara: "Thank you, Poppy." She tries to hide her blush as she puts her necklace back on, her appearance reverting back to human.

Natsai: "Why are you hiding your appearance?"

Lara: "I don't want to draw attention to myself, I know that someday I will have to reveal myself but I want to have a normal seventh year first."

Natsai: "I suppose that makes sense. So, I hear you are interested in becoming an Animagus?"

The Marauders perk up.
