KING'S CROSS STATION was bustling with proud parents waving goodbye to their children. Winona was not granted that privilege - her mother had made it a rule to stay far away from anything wizarding world-related. Not that Winona minded, or convinced herself she didn't.
Even after more than four years, the Hogwarts Express still felt a bit intimidating. Students laughed with their cluster of friends, giving dramatic explanations of their summer adventures. Intimidation turned into excitement as Winona remembered she was going to see her friends again. After weeks of being out of the country - assisting her mother on a research trip for her newest novel - Winona was relieved to finally be home.
Just as she peered through the compartments to find her friends, Winona's phone buzzed in her pocket. Rox is waiting outside the compartment for you!!! She's the one wearing the clown wig, a text from Molly Weasley read. Winona laughed and just as her head snapped up - a smiling Roxanne Weasley was waving at her.
The two girls ran to the other and soon enough Winona's arms were wrapped around Roxanne. "You're late, Cruella," Roxanne said with a playful smile. The nickname was given to Winona in their third year by no other than the oldest Potter boy. Winona did her best to not think about him this early in the morning.
Roxanne was the only daughter of George and Angelina Weasley and twin to Fred Weasley II. She had her mother's looks, passionate love for Quidditch, and the chaotic Weasley nature most of the Weasley-Potter family had. Her adventurous nature landed her in detention a few times, but as the daughter of the famous George Weasley, it was expected.
"And you're wearing a clown wig," said Winona, "Perhaps not the best time to be critical."
Winona followed Roxanne down the aisles to another compartment down the way. Once they reached their destination, Roxanne helped Winona with her luggage and the two girls took their seats. The two other occupants of the compartment sat across from them.
Molly Weasley huddled against the wall in the compartment with a sleeping Maurine Wood's head on her shoulder. Red waves of hair braided into a crown, small baby hairs framing her face. She was the oldest daughter of Percy and Audrey Weasley, which meant she was also the most strict of the family. Her younger sister Lucy was more of a rule-breaker, but Molly took after her father. However, her heart of gold saved the reputation of many students as Molly couldn't bear to see others face such harsh consequences. Most of the time.
"I would hug you, but you know how Maurine gets when she doesn't get her full eight hours." She whispered.
"I can hear you," Maurine said loudly. She sat up and fixed her crooked glasses. "Proceed with the hugging."
