Begin At Zero (A Lynx Malfoy Sequel)

First Day Back

King's Cross was terribly busy as always and the Malfoy-Weasley family was trying to stay as close together, trying not to lose anyone in the crowd. Ember, Fred and Roxanne pushed their trollies with their belongings and hurried to Platform ¾ with their parents closely behind them. While they were rushing, Roxanne was looking around the train station for Logan but couldn't find him.

"Hurry, hurry! There's like ten more minutes," Ember said, running through Platform 8. 

When the family reached Platform 9 ¾, they didn't take anytime to see if there weren't any Muggles around went through the wall. Hogwarts Express was already taking in the students of Hogwarts and a conductor was yelling, "All aboard. Last call!" 

The three Malfoy-Weasley children gave their belongings to the Express employee and was about to jump onto the train before Lynx called them.

"Hey! Hey!" Lynx said. "You're not getting on that train until you give your mother and father a kiss goodbye."

Without wasting any time, the three quickly hugged their parents. 

"Bye, Mom. Bye, Dad!" The twins said in unison, giving their parents a tight hug and a quick kiss before they rushed to the train, hoping to be reunited with their school friends. Roxanne took her time giving them a hug. 

"I wish I could've spent more time with you, Roxanne," Lynx said, pushing Roxanne's red hair behind her ear. 

"Me too. I'll miss you so much," Roxanne said, trying not to cry. George, Lynx, and Roxanne hugged for a long time before the conductor shouted, "Final boarding!"

Lynx and George kissed their daughter on the cheek and smiled at her. "Get going, love," George said.

"I love you!" Roxanne yelled as she rushed to the train. The conductor waved his wand and all of the doors of each compartment closed at the same time. The youngest Malfoy-Weasley child opened the closest window and waved back to her parents as the Hogwarts Express began to move. She didn't stop waving until they were out of sight and when they were, Roxanne closed the window and took a deep breath. 

"Another year," Roxanne said to herself. "You'll be okay."

"Are you okay?" Carina Malfoy asked. Roxanne looked up and saw her cousin looking up at her with concerned eyes. The youngest daughter of Draco Malfoy and Klarix Martinez smiled at her and asked again, "Are you okay?"

"Carina," Roxanne said with a relieved smile. "I'm fine."

"Well, not a lot of people that are fine talk to themselves," she said in a matter-of-fact tone. Carina had short dirty blonde hair with black eyes and was in Hufflepuff like Roxanne. Unlike her, Carina had no problem making friends and was instantly popular not only to their Housemates but to the rest of Hogwarts. Sometimes, rarely, Roxanne gets jealous of Carina. 

"I promise I'm okay," Roxanne reassured. "Have you seen Logan?"

"Abbate? No. Have you seen Amelia?" Roxanne shook her head. "Well, I'll see you around, Roxy."

"See ya, Carina." 

With that, the fourth year scurried away from Roxanne, looking at each compartment, looking for Amelia, Logan's younger sister who was in Ravenclaw. 

Roxanne searched through the compartments looking for her best friend but no matter where she went she had no luck. She did manage to find Ember and Fred who were in a big crowd, talking about their summer and how they got to help out their dad in making new products for WWW. Her two older siblings offered a seat next to them but she denied their offer only because she often felt like she was just a spectator in their conversation, not really someone who did anything to make the conversation a bit more fun. She was in the section of the train where there were open tables and saw Lily, Hugo, Lorcan and Lysander sharing snacks from the trolley.
