The platform was full. Lee had already gone to get us an apartment with James. The twins were waiting for Molly to say goodbye. I was looking for Draco. I drifted through the crowd with ease, waving hello to several people, my wand was clutched tight by my side.
"Dahlia." I stopped. Nobody had called me that for twelve years. I turned slowly. Lucius Malfoy stood above me. I nodded. "A hello would be adequate." I waved my wand through the air. I have never been able to speak since mothers passing. His face seemed to soften but only for a second. He nodded curtly. "Draco." A little boy with startling blonde hair dodged out. Narcissa appeared too. She looked ready to cry. "This is the girl we told you about Dahlia, or as she goes by now Alice." He spat my new name with so much force I flinched.
"Hello Alice." Draco said politely.
Hey Draco. I waved through the air. I can't speak, I'm not sure why, but we can communicate like this. He nodded. He said goodbye to his parents, and I led him on the train. There had been barely any love between me and Lucius and he was, my only blood uncle.
"What house are you?" Draco asked.
Gryffindor I replied. He seemed to sneer a little but at my stern gaze stopped. I turned to face him. Whatever predjiuce your family have put on you, is most likely incorrect. Try to judge things with your own mind and not those of others. I'm here for you Draco. Your my blood so I care for you. I gave a soft smile.
"Thank you." He said before running off. I shook my head and went off in search of my friends.

I peered in the next compartment. Ron was sat with a messy haired boy, with startling eyes. I knocked. Ron jumped up to let me in. "Harry, this is Alice. My brothers friends." I smiled giving him a wave. "She can't speak though, we all use sign." I shrugged.
'Hey Ron do you think you could go and ask James to come down here for a minute.' He looked round nervously before leaving Harry with me. I took out my wand again.
So Harry, I wanted to find you acatully. The gold writing made him stare in amazing.
"Really? Why? I'm nothing special." I smiled kindly.
Well to me you are. You were like my little brother when we were kids. He frowned.
"Did you know my parents? Nobody will tell me anything." He said quietly. I took the photos I carried in my pocket. I handed it to him. It was Remus, James and Lily holding Harry in the picture.
The man on the left, the tall one with all the scars, that's my dad. This was just after my mom died. The other people are your parents and that in the middle is you. As the lettering faded his eyes returned to the picture.
"Did you know them well?" I nodded.
My twin, he's named after your father. Harry handed me the photo back. Keep it. He smiled and folded it neatly into his pocket. The door opened again amd James walked In.
"Oh, you found him then?" I nodded. "Hi Harry, I'm James." He held out his hand shaking it firmly. Ron sat bacn down next to Harry. "Alice told you all about us then?" Harry nodded.
"You remember a lot about me for a three year old." He stated.
"Yeah thats mostly Alice, great memory she has." I smiled gently patted James' arm. I took the other photo Remus had given me.
This is us three, the year after your parners died, we came to see you. Harry stared at the picture.
"We would have kept coming back." James said. "But your aunt didnt like our dad. For being a wizard and just in general I guess." Harry nodded.
"Can I keep this too?" I nodded with a smile.
"Why didnt you tell me you knew Harry Potter?" Ron asked, slightly hurt.
"What, just so you have another reason to drawl over my sister?" Rom blushed. I hit James' arm. "Come on allie, Fred and George are waiting." I stood up waving bye.
I'm always here Harry, you were like my brother and I want it to stay that way.
He grinned ear to ear. "I've never had a sister figure before. I've never had a friend before."
"Well, you've gained a brother, sister and a friend." James gesturing to Rom who smiled. Harry beamed, waving as we left. "Did you find Draco?" James asked as we weaved through the crowd. I nodded.
'Spoke to him briefly, the Malfoy's have done a brilliant job on him.' I signed, James noticed the sarcasm even through my movements.
"He'll get there, if anyone can melt him it's you." I smiled, as we dodged into the compartment.
