"Uncle Sirius! I'm going to be late!" shouted Bella as they walked quickly to the Platform 9 ¾. In her hand was a cage with pure white snow owl she had named Hedwig. Sirius was pulling her trunk rather slowly. They approached the platform and stopped right in front of it, letting a family of redhead through. There was a pair of twins, a tall boy with curly red hair and gleaming badge with a 'P' on it. And then there was boy who looked her age with red hair. And finally, there was another set of twins, one girl and one boy who looked slightly sad.

Bella instantly knew they were the Weasleys.

"Go on, go on. Fred, you next" the short redhead said, looking at one of the older twins and gestured forward.

"He's not Fred! I am!" said one of them. The other laughed and shook their head.

"Honestly, woman! You call yourself our mother..." sighed the other. Bella watched, interested.

"Sorry, George," the mother said. The one who was the one who had berated the mother laughed.

"I'm only kidding, Mum. I am Fred," he said, running through the barrier. He disappeared from view. Sirius approached and tapped the mother on the shoulder. She turned around and gave a wide smile.

"Sirius! And...oh. This is your goddaughter, Bella Potter!" Mrs. Weasley said. Bella nodded and gave a small smile, rubbing her scar, self-consciously. The remaining kids except for the pompous looking one openly ogled at her. The little boy that looked a year younger than her blushed when she looked at him and she frowned.

"Hi..." Bella trailed off. Mrs. Weasley patted her shoulder, maternally and Bella's smile widened.

"You look so nervous, dear. I'm sure that you'll do fine. Ron is starting this year as well. Go on through," Mrs. Weasley said. Bella nodded and she felt her wand pulse and grabbed it and she jerked.

"What's wrong? Is he near?" asked Sirius, his face souring at the thought of the owner of the yew wand that matched her own wand. The Weasleys watched in interest and she shook her head.

"Uh...no. My wand just senses that the other wand is getting nearer. It isn't fully under my control yet so it still is a little...anxious," Bella said. The Weasleys looked away before they went through the barrier one by one. Bella gestured towards the barrier, indicating for Sirius to go first, with her wand. Sirius quirked a grin and she looked at him curiously.

"Oh don't be so...Riddle-ish," Sirius said. Bella glared at him and couldn't seem to understand why she glared when he used what would surely be her favorite yet least favorite professor as an insult.

"Shut up. Can we go now?" demanded Bella. Sirius nodded and they walked up to the platform before going in effortlessly. Everyone watched as she walked in, her eyes flashing. She caught sight of a family of blonds and Sirius' lip curled.

"Ugh...the Malfoys. My cousin, Narcissa, is decent but her husband and son are idiots. Watch out for him," Sirius warned. Bella nodded in understanding though her agreement to the idea was only questionable for now.
