A Raven And A Lion

Part 1

Arriving at King's Cross Station you look at your mum and dad with tears in their eyes as well as yours.

"Oh my sweet girl this never gets easier." Your mum says as she envelops you in an embrace.

"Remember to write to us, love." Your dad said as he gave you a firm hug much different than your mum's. It always hurts your heart whenever you have to leave your parents. It wasn't like you could see them when you went to Hogsmeade like some of your friends could. Clinging to your dad you give him a squeeze.

"Always dad." Pulling away your eyes wander down to your watch. Which reminded you of the broken locket you had left on his nightstand.Your parents own a jewellery shop, your first year of Hogwarts your parents gifted you a beautiful locket. It had a daffodil engraved in the centre and a picture of the three of you. Last year when you had come back from holiday it broke and you were devastated. Take a deep breath and brace yourself to ask if he saw it.

"That reminds me, did you fix the locket I left on your night stand?" A gleam in his eye tells you that he was waiting for you to ask.

"Here poppet, a gift from us to you. Now go be the wonderful witch you are. We love you poppet!"

"I love you so much!" You wave at them and ran head first into the wall. Arriving to the wizarding world you look around desperately trying to find David. You had made plans to find him after your parents dropped you off. You told him to meet you at 8:30, checking your watch you see it's three minutes until 8:30. Grabbing the locket your dad gave you, you secure it onto you. Opening the locket you smile at the picture of you and your parents. It was taken back to a mall near your home. It was an older picture back from when you were in primary school. Judging by the looks of it you had just lost your front teeth. The memory tugged at your heartstrings and you got the familiar feeling of homesickness. It happens every year. Feeling a nudge on your back you turn to find David staring at you.

"Finally! I thought you were hypnotised!" He looked at you with a playful eye roll.

"Whatever Davey!" You shove him as you give him a gentle hug.

"I missed you bitch." He says and it causes you to laugh. It felt nice to have him back by your side. Especially when you were feeling homesick, he always seemed to get it.

"Oh I'm sorry I don't live right next to you." You smirk . You and David had become friends due to being elected as prefects in your fifth year. He was a muggle born like you. So you both decided to help one another, he helped you feel comfortable with your new position and you helped him with the same. Motioning to David you nod towards the train and you both walk to your compartment.

"You got it fixed!" David says as you enter the compartment. You nod glancing at your locket.

"Did you forget that my parents are jewellers?" He rolls his eyes again.

"Yes, definitely what happened." You shove him and you both laugh. You both sat and talked about how the summer went. Within thirty minutes you were both standing and getting ready to go to your meeting for your new duties as prefects. You'd be lying if you said you weren't nervous for what was going to be planned. It always worried you that someone would think you weren't qualified for this position. But David always did his best to make sure you knew you did deserve the position. Just like you did the same for him. You both exchange one more glance at your compartment before
you walked to the meeting for all the perfects.
You were more than likely going to discuss the plans for rounds, who would be taking what route, and other duties that were going to be appointed this year.
You and David didn't talk much about what you would expect from the meeting, but you're starting to wish that you had. You stood across from him, and you knew that you were making a face to the information that was being provided to you.
