˖*. THE AMERICAN WIZARDING SCHOOLS .*˖

Diane was once again seated in the backseat of her mother's yellow fiat. The right side of her forehead resting against the cold window, staring out at the grey sky and dull buildings. It wouldn't be long now until they reached King's Cross station.

The young girl's summer had been fairly boring compared to the eventful months she had underwent at Hogwarts. She had gone to some local soccer matches with her step-dad. Although these now seemed extremely underwhelming, thinking about the brooms gliding through the air as she had seen during the quidditch matches at school.

The car came to a screeching halt in front of the station, her mother turned around in the driver's seat and blew her a quick kiss. 'I'll miss you, baby!' She cooed as Diane flung the yellow door open and hopped onto the concrete sidewalk. Hastily trying to get her suitcase and schoolbag out of the boot of the car, as a dozen cars behind her were impatiently blaring their horns.

'Don't forget to send letters!' Her mother cried out through the open front window before speeding off and letting the row of cars queuing behind her get to their destinations.

Diane stood waving until the tiny lemon-coloured car was out of sight.

She excitedly made her way inside, hoping to catch a glimpse of any of her friends. It wasn't long before she saw the dark brown curly hair of Roxanne.

Trying to make her way through the crowd of hugging people, she reached her friend who was chatting with Lloyd. She hadn't even noticed he'd been standing there too, seeing as Roxanne had now grown several inches taller than him.

Upon seeing Diane, they gave her a quick hug and started boarding the train. They were quickly joined in their compartment by Saoirse and lastly the Scamander twins, who boarded just in time as the train began moving right after they got on.

The kids all wove their parents goodbye as the train gained speed. Diane catching a glimpse of a tall redheaded man and a small blonde woman.

The twins hadn't changed much over the two warm summer months. Diane was able to distinguish them quite well at this point. Even though they were identical, Lysander kept his hair on the longer side. It had grown an inch or two since the last time she had seen him, meanwhile Lorcan kept his hair short and unruly.

The other differences she had noticed over their first year at Hogwarts was that Lorcan's blue eyes were slightly bigger, making him resemble a lost puppy. Which described his personality surprisingly well.

The teens arrived at Hogsmeade's station relatively fast. Being entertained the whole train ride there by the twins's stories about their lengthy stay in Spain. As their parents were on a quest to find the rare dragon breed of the Catalonian fireball.
