"HURRY UP DAD!"yelled Sylvia her tiny voice echoing throughout the crowded house. "Honestly what's taking him so long?" Asked Remus. Sylvia shrugged. "How am I supposed to know." She said. James sighed. "Honestly..HURRY UP PADFOOT OR WE'RE LEAVING YOU HERE! IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW YOUR HAIR LOOKS IT LOOKS HORRIBLE EVERDAY!" James yelled. There was a sound of feet scurrying down the stairs. Sirus pointed at James and glared. "You sir are rude." He said. James smiled. "Yeah yeah let's go already." Said Sylvia grabbing her dad's hand. "Honestly I think if we made her wait a second longer she might've exploded." Mumbled Persephone to her father. Remus nodded. "I HEARD THAT MOONSY!" Sylvia said as she walked to the floo.

"Ready?" Asked Peter. Patty nodded. "See you guys on the other side," she said, she dropped the powder and said clear as day." Platform nine and three quarters!" With a flash of green light the young Pettigrew was gone.

"Oh my babies are all leaving me!" Cried Lily. Hayley smiled and shook her head. "Honestly mum you're embarrassing me! Why can't you do this to Harry?" She asked. Her mother smiled. "Oh I know I'll do it to him soon. It's just my little twins are all grown up!" She said. Hayley sighed.

Peter was hugging Patty with a bone crushing hug. "Dad.." she wheezed out. "Yes sweetie?" He asked. "You might never even see me get on the train..." she said stopping to take a breath. "If you don't let me breath." He nodded. "Right sorry sweetie," he said releasing her and straightening up her hair. "I'm sorry I just can't believe it. My only daughter all grown up!" He said staring at her.

Sylvia lightly punched her dad. "Will you be okay with me gone?" She asked softly. Slightly taken back by the softness of his usually loud daughter's voice he stared at her. "What do you mean?" He asked softly. She shrugged. "Well I mean.. with me gone.. you have no one to annoy. I feel bad for uncle James." She muttered. He laughed. "I'll be alright. I'll keep the annoying to a minimum just for you. So that way when you come home I can annoy you." He said messing up her hair. She smiled.

Persephone hugged her dad. "Daddy? I'm scared." Persephone said into his chest. "Why sweetheart." He asked. She stayed silent for a while. "What if I fail a class. Or there's someone smarter than me. Or people think I'm too smart. Or- or I seem weak!" She said. He stayed silent for a while. He crouched down as to be the same height as his daughter. "Listen here Sweetheart," he said looking at her golden eyes and brushing away her tears. "There will always be someone smarter than you. All you have to do is make sure that you try even harder. If you're scared or you seem weak. Be confident. Fake it if you have too. That way no one and nothing could bring you down,as hard as they try." He said. She nodded softly. "I love you and I know you won't fail a class. I know you'll make me proud, I have no doubt about that." He said softly. She nodded.

There was a loud whistle and Persephone turned to stare at her dad. "Go on." He said. She nodded. She turned to her friends and saw them saying one last goodbye. She walked to an empty near by compartment and opened the window. She waved bye to her dad until he was nothing more than a speck in the distance. She closed the window and sat down.

"What house do you think you'll get sorted in?" Asked Hayley. "I don't know but I'm hoping for gryffindor! Just like dad." Said Sylvia smiling. Patty shrugged. "Umm I don't know maybe Hufflepuff or Gryffindor." Patty said. Hayley nodded. "What about you Persephone?" She asked.

Persephone shrugged. "I wouldn't mind any house really." She said. Hayley rolled her eyes. "I know I'll get gryffindor," she said. Persephone stared at her. "How can you be so sure?" She asked. Hayley shrugged. "My mum and dad were in gryffindor and my dad's entire family was in gryffindor! So I want to be in gryffindor too!" She said. Persephone smiled.

A little while later Harry; Hayley's twin brother. Brought in a tall red haired boy with freckles all over his face and a smudge of dirt on his nose.
"Hi guys." Harry said cheerfully. "This is Ron Weasley." He said signaling to the Red haired boy. He slightly pulled up his right hand. "Hi." He mumbled. The girls smiled. "Hello I'm Persephone Lupin. You can just call me whatever name you want or Moonsy and Seph." She said looking up from 'Hogwarts a History'.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Patty Pettigrew. Just Patty's fine or Wormtilea." She said softly. Ron nodded.

"Hey I'm Sylvia black! Just Sylvia or Black or Padslene." She said taking a break from her snacks. Ron once again nodded.

"Hi I'm Hayley Potter,Harry's twin." She said. Ron blushed and nodded. "Nice to meet you all." He said.

"Well let's sit." Harry said.

A while later a little bushy brown haired girl opened the door. "Have you lot seen a toad? Nevilles lost one." She said. Sylvia looked up and blushed. Hayley looked up. "Sorry we haven't." Hayley said simply. Hermione nodded. "Thanks anyways. Oh and red head. You have a smudge of dirt. There. On your nose. Did you know?" She asked. She walked away leaving a blushing Ron.

*time skip to the sorting*

"Merlins beard, I'm nervous." Said Sylvia. Persephone nodded.
"Black,Sylvia." Said Mcgonagall. Sylvia forced her legs to walk and sat down on the stool. Mcgonagall placed the hat on her head and a while later the hat screamed,"GRYFFINDOR."

Sylvia's shoulders slumped and she smiled. She took of the hat and walked to the gryffindor table.

Alot of names later Mcgonagall finally said,"Lupin,Persephone." Her voice echoing slightly through the great hall. Persephone walked with as much confidence as she could muster and in one neat swift motion sat down and had the hat placed on her head.

The hat stayed silent and everyone began to whisper. After about four minutes of silence Persephone found it harder to seem confident. Finally after what seemed like forever. The hat yelled," GRYFFINDOR." She smiled and walked to the gryffindor table. There was whistles heard throughout the hall. "WE GOT CUTIE SUCKERS!" Yelled Fred. "MR.WEASLEY THAT IS HARDLY APPROPRIATE!" Mcgonagall yelled. Persephone shook her head and sat down next to Sylvia. "Well it seems like you already have a fanclub." Sylvia muttered. Persephone shook her head. "I'm sure they'll get over it in a week." She whispered. Sylvia nodded. Patty and Hayley got sorted into Gryffindor aswell.

"So...Persephone. Does anyone here catch your eye?"  Hayley asked. Persephone shook her head. "Hardly." She said. Hayley smirked. "Well it seems you've caught a certain blonde Slytherins eye." She said. Persephone looked up and saw Draco Malfoy from the Slytherin. She winked at him and smiled to herself as she saw him blush and turn to his food.
