September 1st 1991
Tessie wished for more actionable and exciting times seemed to be coming true.

For as september  1st 1991 rolled around, the dead duo stood on platform 9 3/4, taking in the sight of tiny wizards running around with stars in their eyes.

Today was the day Harry Potter started Hogwarts.

"Oy!" Aveline cried at a boy who almost ran into Harry with a cartload of books. "You little shit! He almost ran into my God son. Do that again and I'LL KILL YOU!"

As much as being dead sucked, Aveline did rather enjoy being able to yell any insult she wanted at people.

"This is going to be wonderful," Tessie sighed, lighting a cigarette and she strolled beside Aveline. "This kid is most definitely going to be trouble." 

She snickered, watching as Harry hugged his parents goodbye, before running towards the train with pure excitement in his steps.

"Harry is a good boy!" Aveline defended, though she had watched the boy grow up.

Trouble seemed to stick to that kid as if he was magnet for it.

They followed him on the train. Aveline would be damned if she let him do this all alone.

He had found himself in a compartment with a red-haired boy.

"Ooo!" Tessie exclaimed, looking at the red-haired kid. "He must be one of those Weasley folk! I heard they are blood-traitors! How wonderful!"

Much to Aveline's delight, the train ride was perfectly boring. Harry seemed to have made a friend, and Aveline took delight in strolling up and down the compartment halls, sizing up the young witches and wizards as threats.

There were faces Aveline recognized in the crowd. There was a boy with the eyes of her old friend Alice, and the baby cheeks of Frank Longbottom. There was a small kid with bright Malfoy blonde hair, and a stubby boy that looked as if he belonged in the Goyle family.

Being dead did have some perks— for while James and Lily sat at home, Aveline got to watch as Harry stepped off the train for the first time, boarded a small canoe with his friends and crossed the black lake.

"Trouble," Tessie muttered as they watched the little black head of hair float off into the horizon. "He's on his way to trouble."

2 Months Later:

"DOES THIS KID HAVE A FUCKING DEATH WISH?" Tessie hollered, as they chased an 11 year old Harry down the hall, towards a troll in the bathroom.

As it turns out, following Harry Potter around hogwarts had quickly become a full time job for Aveline and Tessie.

Aveline was certain, if James Potter could, he would kill her if she let his only child be killed by an angry bathroom troll in his first two months of school.

"HARRY HARRY STOP YOU LITTLE PRICK!" Aveline screamed at the top of her lungs, hoping by a miracle if she screamed louder her voice would transcend the rules of life and death and Harry would stop, and decide hmm maybe it's not the best idea to follow an angry troll into a bathroom without any magical skills.

She knew even if he could hear her he would still be running into the bathroom full speed.

Harry had gotten his father's dangerous combination of stupidity and bravery.

"DO THESE KIDS EVEN KNOW THEY ARE WIZARDS?" Tessie screamed, as she watched them duck as the troll began to toss bathroom sinks at them as if they were pebbles. "USE YOUR WAND YOU WANKERING IDIOTS!"
