"So, we reached, wooh, great, still 20 mins are left," said James.

"Yeah, only if you have woken up a little earlier we could have more time..." replied Albus.

"I wasn't fee-"

"Both of you stop, don't start fighting" interrupted Lily

"Seriously, you people eat less fight more," said Rose and rolled her eyes.

"Come on, Rosie that's your quality and as a matter of fact-"

"Hey, what are you all doing there come to this side!" shouted Harry from a distance.

They were all at the King Cross station Platform 9¾ waiting for the Hogwarts Express.

"Yup coming, dad!" Lily shouted back to Harry. "James this is the 3rd time you are coming here but still you always forget the side!"

All of them went on to the other side of the station.

"The train will be coming in 5 more mins, be ready, boys and girls," said Ron, looking at his watch.

"James last time Prof. Neville told us everything about your silly prank, you shouldn't do that silly thing again ok?" said Ginny.

"But mom, that was not so silly and by the way, it was jus-" James gulped and stopped after looking at his mother's wide eyes.

"That was a good technique" whispered Hermione.

"Guys, pay attention, the train is arriving, children pick up your bags and all" announced Harry.

The train arrived.

Everyone hugged and kissed their children.

"Be careful, don't do any mischief and study well, pay attention to all the lectures," said Hermione and Ginny to everyone.

While, Harry and Ron told everyone to enjoy their time at Hogwarts, play quidditch well, and also reminded them about the tea party at Hagrid's place.

The children were up on the train and the doors were closed. All of them were peeping out of the windows. Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny bid farewell to all.

*IN THE TRAIN*

"Am getting hungry, let's have something?" said Hugo.

Everyone nodded.

James was looking outside the window when he saw a reflection of a girl with shiny silver, long, curly, hair. He immediately turned his head to get a better view. The girl was just in the left corner of his seat. It was Delphini. She was wearing black hoodies and earphones and was leaning towards the window. James had always tried to talk to her but his cousins would just never let him do so, just because she was the daughter of ...

"JAMES! JAMES!!"

"Yeah yeah, what?! Who the hell screams so loudly, man! My poor ears!" snapped James rubbing his ears.

"What happened to you, James?? I was calling you for the last 5 mins...in which world were you in?!"

James just realized that he was staring at that girl for the last 5 mins. "Damn" he murmured to himself.

"Oh, what are you saying?" said Lily.

"I-I didn't say anything, stupid, your ears are banging," said James, and made a face.

"Leave, have this James," said Hugo, offering him some Chocolate Frogs and some Butterbeer.

James rejected the offer and suddenly rose up from his seat. He started walking towards Delphini when Albus and Lily noticed it and pulled James with such a force that he almost fell onto his seat. Lily threw a bend-down look at Rose and Hugo. They all sat in a circle with their heads bent down.

"Where were you just going?!" whispered Lily.

"I was just-"

"Not so loud, you loudspeaker," said Lily as she glanced at Delphini.

"Umm...Okay! So I was just going to meet that girl sitting right there. I just want to talk to her. Look, I know-"

"NOTHING! You know nothing! That's the daughter of Voldemort!"

"I very well know this much and there lies the problem I only know this much...I want to know more, I'm just a little curious about her"

"She's VOLDEMORT'S-"

"But she isn't Voldemort, right? She won't kill me or eat me up!"

"But Jam-"

"Okay, fine. Am not meeting her! Happy?" scoffed James joining his hands and again leaned towards the window, but this time he was just seeing the scenic beauty of the place they were passing through.

"What's wrong with him?" whispered Albus to Lily, "I didn't see him so angry, why does he want to get close to that girl..."

Lily shrugged.

...

"Maybe we can help ourselves with some food," said Hugo and opened another packet of Chocolate Frogs.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Sorry," said James.

"Come on!" said Lily and wrapped her arms around him, so did everyone.

This was a Universal Truth, James Sirius Potter can never be angry at his cousins for more than 2 seconds, he loved them a lot.

"Come on guyz, ip you dond wand to hab the frogs gib id do me," said Hugo with a mouthful of chocolate frogs.

Everyone laughed at his situation. Then the announcement was made, ONLY A FEW MORE MINUTES AND THEY WILL BE IN HOGWARTS. They all went to the washroom one by one and changed their casuals to their robes.
