The Potter's Daughter

Red and Stressed

It's not even eight in the morning and I'm already awake. Yes, I'm totally conscious that is my first day at Hogwarts and all but, seriously Albus? Seriously? You've got all the summer to get home, and believe me, getting grounded because Jamie's friends are so stupid that make our pranks go wrong made me somehow miss you. Your beautiful Ravenclaw brain makes mine and James work much easier. However, you dear brother decided to arrive three amazing hours before we get to go to the King's Cross station.

So, here I was, 7:33a.m. and suddenly some kind of strange shape appears in our house's fireplace, it's thin and tall and it looks like it has a sort of cactus in the very top. Then I realized it was Alb, his messy black hair just like daddy's seemed to be even worse than usual, I guess the trip wasn't the best. I run and jump straight to his arms and noticed that he is stronger...Maybe this school in Bulgaria had actually been a good idea.

Just as we expected, mum made the three of us eat her great magically-prepared breakfast and dad tried to convince Albus to skip the first week of school to stay a bit with them. Obviously my great mum didn't allow it. Five minutes before we leaving I head upstairs to wake my brother up: just like always, I had told our parents that he is awake and probably taking a shower when he's actually having half an hour extra of sleep. I don't mind as long as he pays me.

"Jamie" I said surprisingly kind "wake up is time to go..." I kept trying for about five minutes but he would groan something similar to "no, shhh, sleep more, I'm, go away"

A couple of minutes after tackling him, and consequently solving the problem, we were both down the stairs, he tried to slap me a couple of times but even though he's strong, I'm faster so he gave up and, with a annoyed face, agreed to move his lazy butt. Soon enough the Potter Family apparated in one alley a block from the train station.

While walking in the muggle world, I noticed everything way too calm and hoped we weren't that late. I instantly felt home again as soon as we crossed the wall between the platforms nine and ten. Somehow, even being a first year I recognized many familiar faces and my jitters suddenly disappeared. My brothers took my trunk and theirs to put in it's own compartment so I turned to my parents to say goodbye since that ginormous red and stressed train was about to leave.

"Lilly, darling...I'll be going to Hogwarts every month to teach DADA to the sixth years but if anything, literally anything happens just send us a letter through the school's owls or your brother's and me or your mum will be there in less than one hour. Do you hear me?" I looked up at the stressed figured that I love so much, he had his eyebrows arched and seemed very nervous. I start to think that he and mummy would make a great Hogwarts train, she has the red (in her hair) just like me and dad is always stressed...

"Lee" My mum said the way only she could do, calling immediately my attention, "Yes?" "You've heard stories from our family at Hogwarts your whole life, you are proud of them just like we all are, but you do not need to be exactly like them... Just be yourself tigerlily and stick to what you believe. We will always be here for you but I doubt that you will need us. Now, is time to go" She smiled slightly and kissed my forehead. I walked into the train as she and daddy said their goodbyes to my brothers who were already rounded by friends.

Thanks to Merlin, the last cabin was completely free so I entered and sat occupying all the seats in the right side. Unfortunately my peace ended when my aunt's book about spells was taken away from my hands by one of my too stupid brothers and with a bonus, their super annoying friends.

"Dad said to check on you" Albus said with some kind of sympathetic smile, "well, I'm perfectly fine thanks."I said quite bitterly. "Umm, let me present you the guys" he said and pointing to the one nearest to to him started "the tall over here is Wood, Drake Wood, the blondie is obviously Scorpius Malfoy and..." when he pointed to the guy hid in the back I instantly recognized him and went to a bear hug. When we split I said to my dearest cousin "Louis!! What are you doing here?? When did you get back from Beauxbatons? Is Rosie and Hugo here too? What about Dominique? Vic didn't tell me anything about it and neither did Teddy..Well I actually haven't talked to them yet, or with Roxanne...You know this prefects stuff..."I was interrupted by a big laugh from everybody even from Jamie's friends and before I questioned the reason of the laughter I realized who was one of James's friend: Lysander!! "You are here too!" I jumped to a hug then came back to my original position when something passed through my mind "wait, I asked, why didn't anybody tell me about you guys and what in the bloody hell are you guys still doing here if you've already 'checked' on me?"

"Hey, calm down little girl"said Scorpius in a joking tone "I'm not little"I said and a laughter wave flooded the cabin once again, "I might be short but not little, I'm only one year younger than you Scorpius so you better watch out, unless of course you want me to transform you into a weasel just like it happened to your dear dad." I said, standing up and reaching the corridor. In my second step to the right towards the Prefect's office I felt a pair of big pale hands on my waist: Lysander's.

Author's note (A/N) : Hello guys, what do you think? Since this is my first time writing on Wattpad I desperately need to know what's your opinion...Should I go on? I've got great ideas and I'm feeling very optimist about this fanfic. I'm sorry this chapter is way too short but it's really late right now and I double checked before publishing it. If you guys liked it, please comment so I'll keep going with the story.

Amortentia Potions to all of you,
