Miss Slytherin

Book 1: Chapter 3

Ms. Thorns escorted her towards King's cross in her muggle car due to the amount of trunks that Finely had with her, all the things filled her trunk while Cassian was in his cage in the back seat. Ms. Thorns rambled how she was excited for the young witch to attend Hogwarts and how sorry she was that she wasn't the one to see her off.

"I'll be leaving once Molly arrives with her children, you be good to her okay?" She said as she parked outside the station.

"I will Ms. Thorns," Finley smiled politely as she got out the car to grab her bags and Cassian. Eventually Ms. Thorns grabbed a trolley to help her further with the trunks, placing Cassian's cage on the top they waited at the entrance.

"Thorns!" Both ladies' gaze went towards a plump woman with a line of red heads behind her. Five boys and a girl younger than Finley, the woman waved towards them as Ms Thorns waved back. "It's been a while Mrs. Weasley."

"Indeed it has."

Finley observed the children Mrs. Weasley was with, all the boys had trunks on their trolleys. A pair of twins, a slightly older boy, and a boy about her age.

"Who might this be?" Mrs. Weasley asked looking towards Finley.

"I'm Finley Evans, nice to meet you ma'am," She smiled at her. She was pleased with the girl's polite introduction returning the smile that she was given. "Pleasure to meet you."

"You must be off or else you would miss the train," Ms. Thorns said giving her a ticket.

"I reckon that I wouldn't see you in this Holiday?"

"I'll owl you a Christmas card by then," The girl replied, she hugged Finn as she gave her a kiss on the cheek. Finley will admit that she will miss her truly, she's the only one who has ever been with her since she could ever remember. She was like a mother to her and was glad that she has become a caretaker to her.

"Owl me the morning you arrive, yes?"

"I will, goodbye Ms. Thorns!"

"See you soon love."

As she waved goodbye to Ms. Thorns, Mrs. Weasley was fussing the boys to hurry their steps as they might be late. "Are you alright now love?" Mrs. Weasley asked Finn.

"I'm alright," she replied.

"You first Percy dear," Mrs Weasley said. Percy the older Weasley went far enough and made a run for it, anticipating a crash and thankfully non of that happened. "Do you know what to do?"

She looked behind her and saw a boy with dark hair and green eyes, he wore glasses and he was pushing a trolley full of trunks as well. "I have no clue yet, but I think it's simple."

The boy walked towards Mrs. Weasley.

"Excuse me," he asked.

"Hullo dear," she greeted as she looked at the boy. "First time at Hogwarts? It's Ron's and Finley's first time too."

Ron, assuming the youngest boy of the bunch raised his hand sheepishly while she smiled at the boy brightly trying to ease off the anxiety that was building in her core.

"Yes," he replied. "I don't know how to get on the-"

"The platform? Don't worry dear, all you have to do is to walk straight at the barriers between 9 and 10," she pointed at the wall.

"Don't stop and don't be scared, you'll crash into it and that's very important. It's best if you run if you're a bit nervous, go one before Ron and Finley," she said patting his shoulder.

The boy looked towards me and Ron nervously, Finn gave him a thumbs up hoping to ease him as he ran with his trolley towards the wall and he vanished. "Alright now dear, your turn," Mrs. Weasley looked towards Ron and me.
