Five years earlier-
The day has finally come, 11 year old Cordelia Little was about to enter a whole new world. The Wizarding world. Her and her father rushed between platforms 9 and 10 very confused, as her ticket read Platform 9 3/4.
"Is it just a British thing or Wizard?" Said Mr.Little. Cordelia shrugged and examined the area. After a few minutes of that she sighed hopelessly leaning against her trolley.
"I'm gonna miss my train and not go to an awesome wizard and witch school." She groaned dramatically. Her dad put a hand on her shoulder. She looked around the crowd and noticed two boys walking towards them both of them had a trolley similar to Cordelia's. As they got closer, Cordelia's father walked off but stayed close to find someone to help them. Soon the boys were right next to Cordelia, one had black hair past his ears and the other had black hair as well but it was much shorter and very messy.
For a moment they just stood next to her and she stared to nervous to go up and ask 'Hey I just happened to notice that you guys had huge trunks too and I was wondering if you by chance are going to a school for witches and wizards?' Yeah she was not about to make that mistake. But she finally looked away from then for a second when she turned back they were both in front of her smirking. "Hi there, I'm Sirius Black and this is James Potter. You are?" The boy with longer hair asked.
"Oh hi I'm Cordelia Little." She replied setting her owl cage down holding out her hand for him to shake. He did and winked as well, then her dad came back over her looking irritated.
"Cordelia let me see you tick-" Mr.Little began and then noticed James and Sirius, looking at their stuff and sudden smile appeared on his face. "Do you two by any chance know where platform..." he grabbed the ticket out of Cordelia's hand "9 3/4 is?" His eyes filled up with hope. Both boys answer at the same time.
"Yup." They smile back at Mr.Little and told him that they would make sure Cordelia would make it to the platform, Cordelia's father being a very trusting man agreed said his goodbyes and left. James and Sirius then showed Cordelia the way onto the platform, she was amazed.
"Thank you two so much," she said as they stepped onto the train looking for an empty corridor. They found one and offered her to sit with them she agreed. Soon the train started and she told them that her mom was a witch and her dad muggle, they told her about their family's as well.
About twenty minutes after the train started to go a boy with caramel brown hair, chocolate brown eyes, and a scar going a crossed his face knocked on the door of their corridor. Cordelia, being the closest opened it and smiled at the boy. "Hi," she said cheerfully.
"H-hi, I was wondering if I could sit with you three the other corridors seem to be full..." he said with a shy smile. She gladly let him in, he sat next to her and James and Sirius on the other side. "I'm Remus, by the way, Remus Lupin." He introduced himself.
"Well nice to meet you Remus, I'm Cordelia Little and that James Potter and Sirius Black." She said smiling the other boys waved at him, and for the rest of the train ride they talked. When they got to the castle of hogwarts to their excitement they were all sorted into Gryffindor.
Five years later-
Cordelia was suddenly shooken awake by her father who was standing over her in their hotel room.
"Cordelia wake up now or I'll pour ice cubes on you." He said in a half joking, half serious tone. She sat up and sighed.
"You wouldn't...?" She said giving him a joking glare. He chuckled at her. She got up and threw on some day clothes, blue jeans, a red and white striped t-shirt, black converse, and her favorite yellow cardigan. She then put on some light makeup throwing her hair in a messy bun.
Cordelia and her dad soon left the hotel they were staying in, the only reason they were in a hotel room was because the fact that they lived in America. She had gotten a letter from Ilvoremorny and Hogwarts but made the decision of going to Hogwarts because she had learned that's the school her mother attended. Cordelia had only ever met her mother when she was very young and does not remember her, her dad was a muggle who raised her all on his own and he was American so she had an American accent, but her mother was from London and moved the America before Cordelia was born.
Any way back to the story, so they soon made it to the station which Cordelia met up with her best friends a girl could ever ask for, the Marauders, or James, Sirius and Remus, oh yeah and Peter, but he gave Cordelia a bad vibe. She soon found them in the crowd waiting for her by platforms 9 and 10, as soon as she saw them she pushed her stuff at her dad and ran at them pulling them all into a bear hug. "Wow, wow calm down Little, it's only been a couple weeks..." laughed Sirius.
"Oh hush up you it's not the same with out you guys." She said giggling. Her dad came up behind her pulling her things.
"Cordelia mind taking your stuff back?" He said handing it to her, "Oh hey there boys how was your summer." He asked turning to them, unlike most dads who would freak out and tell their daughters to stay away from boys, Mr.Little did not mind knowing that Cordelia got along way better with boys then she ever did girls.
"Great Mr.Little, you're?" Asked Remus kindly.
"Good Remus thank you for asking, well you guys better get going. Love you Delia." He said bending done pecking her on the fore head before leaving. She grabbed her stuff and the four of them trudged through the pillar between platform 9 and 10 making it to the Hogwarts Express just in time.
As the bored the train, Cordelia heard Sirius whisper behind her to James, "the Gryffindor Queen returns." This made Cordelia smile.
