Everlasting ⁂ Harry Potter [1]

Chapter Three

"Are you sure you want me to go? If you don't want me to, I won't." Liv signed as she stood by the car looking up at Amelia with wide eyes.

"Why would I not want you to go darling?" Amelia asked with a small smile on her face.

"Well if I go, who will keep you company when dad's at work?" Olivia asked. She didn't want Amelia to be alone while she went off to school. If Amelia would be lonely without her she wouldn't go.

"My dear, I'll be okay. I want you to go and have fun. But as long as you send a lot of letters." Amelia signed with a reassuring smile on her face, and once she finished her hand found their way to Olivia's shoulders as she pulled her in for a hug.

"And Amelia can always come keep me company at the library." Ted signed and spoke at the same time so Amelia could see what he was saying while Liv would hear it since her face was pressed against the woman's stomach, eyes closed as she hugged her tightly. Quite a while passed before Liv pulled away.

"I promise, I'll send you letters so much you'll get tired of me." Liv stated with a big smile. Amelia let out a light laugh at the words.

"I could never get tired of you. Now go, you don't want to be late." The woman instructed as Ted packed up the last of Olivia's belongings into the car and closed the trunk.

"I'll miss you." Olivia signed quickly, throwing her arms around Amelia's wasit one more time before she had to rush off and get into the car. Her father signed a couple of parting words to the elderly woman before he too got into the vehicle and started up the engine, ready to drive to King's Cross Station.

Olivia held tightly to the handle of Caramel's cage as she and her father made their way around the station. Both she and Ted could remember Professor McGonagall mentioning that Platform 9 ¾ was between platforms nine and ten, but so far they had circled around both platforms a countless number of times and haven't found it. They had even asked one of the workers who only laughed at them, muttering to himself about people and pranks.

"Dad, we won't just see it. It's hidden." Olivia pointed out as she remembered reading about the platform in Hogwarts: A History. In her opinion, he should've remembered it too as he started reading through her school books as soon as they brought them home. Both he and Amelia had read through some of them multiple times, showing great interest in what Olivia would be learning during that school year.
