At The Longbottom-Potter Household
"I swear to Merlin, if she doesn't get down here this instant..." said Albus Severus Potter.
"Calm down, Albus, it's her first day at Hogwarts. She's bound to be excited. Remember me on my first day!" said his wife, Alice Hannah Longbottom.
"I do. But you weren't as bad as she is.." he protested.
"Look, if you're that bothered, I'll go up there and hurry her up." said Alice.
"Please?" Albus laughed.
"Neve?"
"Yes, Mum?" asked Neve Ginevra Longbottom-Potter.
"You need to hurry up a bit, darling,"
"Wha- It's only 9:15, Mum," she objected.
"Yes, but your father wants to get there early. He hasn't seen his brother and sisters since last Christmas, Neve," she replied.
"Mum. Uncle James is a right ass.." she earned a stern look from Alice, "Sorry, and Auntie Lily never speaks, and Auntie Molly hates him,"
"She doesn't hate him. They've just been arguing a lot recently, and your dad wants to patch things up. And you, my dear, need to make sure you are ready for half past nine or there will be no Hogwarts for you." she finished.
Neve gasped. "No HOGWARTS! But MUM!" Neve held her hands on to her peroxide blonde head. She, for some weird reason, looked distinctly like Luna - she had the hair, she had Luna's desire for having the most unusual attires (right now she happened to be wearing a knee-length linen mint-green dress, lilac leggings, colour-changing trainers, a blue knitted cardigan, and some very strange earrings), her reasonably small height and her freakishly pale appearance. It was really quite astonishing that she didn't look like any of her parents, both of them being brunettes and considerately tall.
"Half past nine. On the dot." said her mother as she walked out of the room.
