BEEP! BEEP!

That was the first thing that Myra Claire Channing heard on 1st September 1991. Except for it wasn't.

Myra had been awake since five in the morning as she was so excited that she hardly slept. She quickly snoozed her alarm and sprang out of bed, humming her favourite song, Paper Rings.

Suddenly, an Idea struck her. She quickly took the boom box from the sitting room into her room and played her favourite song on it, turning the volume to almost max.

So, while belting out her favourite songs, Myra quickly took a bath and got dressed in a light blue top and blue jeans.

The racket that she was making ended up waking her parents most hilariously. 

The moment that she started blasting paper rings on the boom box , her father woke up startled and tried to run out of bed, but ended up tangled in the sheets and fell off the bed with a thump.

Meanwhile, her mother was already up and changing her little sister, Abigail's diaper. her sister was only five and ever since Greyback attacked Myra, her mother has been sleeping with Abigail to ensure her safety.

Myra turned off the boom box and put her walkman and put it into her backpack then she grabbed her trunk and owl, Lune with her cage and stepped out of her room.

She was greeted in the kitchen by her three favourite people. Her mom was making pancakes for breakfast while her father was getting Abigail dressed and ready for the day. 

Her parents were Aurors, already dressed in uniform, with only overcoats left. that's why they usually dropped Abigail off at the ministry's free magical daycare.

Myra and her family quickly ate breakfast and then began the hubbub for leaving time. 

Myra had already double-checked everything first thing in the morning so she relaxed, waiting for her little sister and parents.

Abigail came running out to Myra, her golden locks of hair in two ponytails pouting. She hugged Myra's leg and said" Myra! Please don't go. You can come with me instead. Please!! I don't want you to go."

Myra gently pried her sister off her leg and said to her" Abi, I know you don't want me to go but I promise I will come back for Christmas. Till then, whenever you miss me, make a drawing of the two of us okay?"

Abi crossed her hands and said"Okay, fine. Only cause I love you, kay?"

Myra smiled picked Abi up in her arms and said "Thank you and I always will love you. Always and forever."

Suddenly, her mom and dad's pagers started going off. Her mom quickly picked them up and saw that it was an emergency drill.

Her mom, said" Kids hop into the car quickly. Myra please be a dear, and put your things into the boot and put Abigail into her car seat. Henry, come quickly, we got called at the ministry."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So they set off, Esmeralda told her daughter that they won't be able to come with her out of the car to 9 3/4 but they will drop her off at King's Cross on the way to the ministry.

Soon they reached King's Cross and Myra quickly said her goodbyes in the car, got out took her trunk, backpack and owl cage on her own and walked to the platform between 9 and 10.

She had no clue what to do but then she bumped headfirst into someone."Sorry, I am so sorry. Er, do you know how to get to the 9 and 3/4 platform?"

The boy nodded and said"Sure, you see that brick wall? You just need to walk into it. Best do it at a run if you're nervous."

Myra nodded and began towards the wall. She closed her eyes, braced for the impact of crashing into the wall, but it never came.

She opened her eyes to see the Hogwarts Express, glistening in the sunlight and the chatter of the parents and children saying goodbye and people meeting up after the summer, calling to one another.

She stood there in awe until she felt a hand being placed on her shoulder. She turned around to see the same boy there.

"Hullo. My name is Cedric Diggory. I am Hufflepuff prefect and a seventh year. What's your name?" he said.

"Hi. My name's Myra Channing. I am a first year. I hope to be in Hufflepuff.Thanks for helping me onto the platform. My parents are Aurors and they received an emergency drill so they dropped me outside King's Cross and they rushed to drop my little sister, Abigail to daycare before going to the ministry." she rambled.

Cedric smiled and said "No worries. Shall we find a compartment together?"

Myra nodded and said " That would be great. Go on ahead. I just want to take a picture of the train."

Cedric smiled said okay and walked off. Myra took out her Polaroid camera, stepped backwards and took a picture.

 She stepped a couple of more steps backwards and she bumped into someone.

Just as she turned around to say sorry, she was greeted with the familiar face of Rosalie Euphemia Potter, the youngest potter kid out of three.

There was Harry James Potter, who was her age, then there was Noah Regulus Potter, who was 1 month younger than Harry and then there was Rosalie Euphemia Potter, who was 1 year younger than both Harry and Noah.

Harry was the carbon copy of his father, James with his mother, Lily's eyes. Rosalie was the carbon copy of Lily with James's eyes but Noah had brown hair and green eyes.

"Hullo Rosa! This is the family you were talking about at book club right?"she said and then hugged Rosa.

Rosalie said"Yep! This is my annoying family."

"You must be James potter, Sirius lupin-black,Remus lupin-black,Marlene Mckinnon, Emmaline Vance ,Lily Potter nee Evans, Harry potter and Noah potter."Myra said.

They all stared at her until sirius said how do you know our names so well?Myra shrugged and said " I listen when rosie here rambles don't I rosie?"

Rosalie said " Don't call me rosie! How many times have I told you to call me rosa?"

Myra said" Okay, fine.Will do next time.Bye rosie!!"

Myra ran into the train and found the compartment which cedric was sitting in.
