The Cursed Child remimagined

Chapter 2

The platform was covered in white steam billowing from the Hogwarts Express, peering through it Remus saw many Wizarding and Muggle Born's families saying goodbye to their children. "This is it." Remus breathed. "Wow!" Lilly whispered. "Platform Nine and Three Quarters." Remus said in awe. Lilly who had climbed down from had dad's shoulders began looking around frantically. "Where are they? Are they here? Maybe they didn't come!" She said sounding distressed. Harry attempting to calm down his daughter, pointed out Ron and Hermione holding their daughter Rose's hand, with their younger son Hugo trailing behind. Lilly ran over to them, "Uncle Ron. Uncle Ron!" She squealed. Ron turned towards his youngest niece as she barreled into him. He bent down and swung her into his arms. "If it isn't my favourite Potter." He said, making her giggle.

They walked over to the rest of the Potters. "Have you got my trick?" Lilly asked excitedly. "Are you aware of the Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes certified nose stealing breath?" Ron replied, with a smile. "Mum! Dad's doing that lame thing again!" Rose complained, rolling her eyes. "You say lame, he says glorious, I say... somewhere in between." Hermione responded, looking affectionately at her husband. "Hang on. Let me just much this... air, and now it's the simple matter of... excuse me if I smell slightly of garlic." Ron told Lilly. He breathed in her face, making Lilly giggle. "You smell of porridge." She said seriously. "Bing. Bang. Bong. Young lady, get ready to not smell anything at all." Ron said grinning at her. He lifted her nose off. Lilly reached her hands up to get face. "Where's my nose?" She said giggling. "Ta Da!" Ron said, opening his hand with a florish. It was a silly trick, but everyone laughed mostly at the look of awe on Lilly's face. "You are silly." She said, causing the adults to laugh again.

"Everyone's staring at us again." Remus muttered. "It's because if me!" Ron joked, "I'm extremely famous. My nose experiments are legendary!" "They're certainly something." Hermione teased. "Parked alright then?" Harry asked. "I did. Hermione didn't believe I could pass a Muggle driving test, did you? She thought I'd have to Confund the examiner." Ron said, looking at his wife. "I thought nothing of the kind, I have complete faith in you." Hermione exclaimed indignantly, while shaking her head at Harry, who was trying to keep from laughing. "And I have complete faith that he did Confund the examiner." Rose jested. "Oi!" Ron exclaimed. "So Harry, where's James?" Hermione asked changing the subject. "Over there." Harry said, pointing to where James stood, deep in conversation with Teddy. "He's acting as though he hadn't seen Teddy all Summer, whereas is reality he's over for dinner four times a week." Ginny said jokingly. Ron and Hermione shared a look, both thinking the same thing.

Remus pulled at his father's sleeve, an anxious look on face, "Dad," He said raising his Voice, making Harry look down. "Do you think... What if I'm- What if I'm put into Slytherin?". "Remus,". Harry said leading his son away from the group, "What would be wrong with that?" "Slytherin is the house if snakes and dark magic, it's not a house if brave wizards." Remus said quietly. "Remus Regulus Potter, you were named after two if the greatest wizards I ever knew, both of them died bringing down Voldemort. One of them was a Slytherin Remus, and believe me he was very brave." Harry told him. "But what if..." Harry interrupted him, "I don't care what house you're in, you're my son and I'll love you know matter what, okay?" Remus, nodded and gave his dad a tight hug.

Harry spotted James dragging Teddy over, presumably to say goodbye, do he and Remus went a rejoined the group. "Me and Teddy are going now, bye." James said, trying to walk away. "Not so fast Mister," Ginny said, stopping him in his tracks, "You have something on your nose." She licked her finger and started to rub at the ink stain on the nose of a very embarrassed James. Once it was gone, she pulled him into a quick hug, much to the amusement of Teddy. "Now you can go." She said smiling. James and Teddy hurried off, "Watch out for the thestrals Remus." James called. "I thought they were invisible!" Remus said sounding panicked. "Remus love, listen to your professors, not your brother. Now go and enjoy yourself, get on the the train before it leaves without you." Ginny told him. Remus hugged both of his parents and Lilly and saved to Ron and Hermione. Rose hugged her family and went over to Remus, "Bye!" They shouted to their family. "Rose. Remember to send Neville our love." Hermione called. "Mum I can't send a professor love." Rise said exasperated. Rose climbed into the train, and Remus, with one last look at his parents, followed her.

"They'll be okay won't they?" Ginny asked, turning away from the retreating train. "Hogwarts is a big place." Hermione said reassuringly. "Big. Wonderful. Full of food. I'd give anything to go back." Ron said reminiscing. Hermione rolled her eyes at him. "Strange, Remus being worried about being sorted into Slytherin." Harry said a confused look on his face. "That's nothing," Hermione laughed, "Rose is worried whether she'll break the Quidditch scoring record in her first or second year, and how early she can take her O.W.L.s." "We have no idea where she gets her ambition from." Ron said sarcastically, nudging his wife. "It doesn't matter if he's in Slytherin though." Ginny said addressing Harry. "You know Gin, we always thought you might be in Slytherin." Ron said thoughtfully. "What!" She exclaimed. "You'll have to ask George, he and Fred made a list of reasons." Ron replied. "Can we go? People are looking." Hermione said suddenly. "Oh please, people always look." Ginny teased. As the for turned to leave, Ginny stopped Harry. "He'll be alright, won't be Harry?" "Of course he will." Harry replied.He
