I shivered from the cold as we waited for the train to arrive at Hogsmeade station. I felt a little nervous because forgot to tell someone to pick me up at Platforms 9 and 3/4. 

     "Do you think, that train will ever come, or are we going to die from the cold", I heard James dramatically yell, while he was sitting at the magic heater.

     The one small heater we had was hogged by the Marauders, so the rest of us he to freeze to death. They could've at least let the 1st years stay there if it wasn't going to be anyone else.

     "He just can't shut his fat mouth can he", Bella growled.

     "Leave him be, do you really want to end up falling in the ice", Cissy reasoned.

     Finally, the Hogwarts Express arrived at Hogsmeade statin and the Marauders rushed inside to find a compartment. I rolled my eyes at their behavior. Bella, Cissy, and I went inside, I was supposed to keep them busy because Andy was in another compartment with Ted. Can you believe the job she gave me, how does she expect me to handle 2 teenagers? 

     "Ugh, why is it so high", I yelled when I tried to put my bags up.

     Bella laughed at my misery, "Here, let me.

     "How", I said open-mouthed, I'm not that short.

     "We both are", Cissy said patting my shoulder. 

     Reggie and his friends were in the compartment next to us so we could clearly hear the rucksack that they were making. Gods, when are boys ever quiet.

     "Never", Bella answered, I must've said that aloud. 

     Cissy laughed at our exchange. 

     "I'm going to go get some candy", I said getting up, "What do you both want".

     "Cauldron Cake", Cissy said giddily.

     "I guess I will have some Chocolate Frogs", Bella said shrugging. 

     "Okay, I'm going to get a Licorice Wand", I said walking out of our compartment to go find the trolley lady.

     I found the trolley lady, there was a bunch of 2nd or 3rd year surrounding her so I slowed my pace down. It was a dumb move because the next second, something grabbed my wrist and I was pulled into a dark compartment. I was then pushed into a chest.

     "What the hell", I screeched.

     "I wouldn't yell if I were you, the only yelling I hear is my name", a voice whispered in my ear, it was Rufus.

     "You motherfucker, how dare you, you really don't want children in the future", I growled.

     "Wh-", he started but I kicked him where the 'sun doesn't shine', again, can you believe it, and then I punched him in the face. 

     He got back up so then I judo flipped him and landed a blow in his stomach making him spit out blood. My eyes flashed red.

     "Your lucky, I didn't hurt you too much, now try coming for me again and see what happens", I threatened as I smiled sickly.

     I went out of the compartment leaving his beat-up body there. I paid for the sweets and angrily made it back to my compartment. 

     "What took you so long", Cissy asked first when I sat down.

     "Rufus fuckin whatever his last name is", I spat.

     "What you do to him", Bella said excitedly.

     I chuckled, "Nothing much, just kicked him 'where babies are made', punched him in the face, judo flipped him, and then landed a punch right in the middle of his stomach making him spit out blood, I can do worse".

     "I don't regret making you my first friend at all", Bella said.

     "Hey guys, I'm back", Andy said opening the compartment door.

     "Do you have fun", I said wiggling my eyebrows.

     Andy smacked me on the arm and blushed.

     "Shut up".

     "I better go find Lily, Ali, Mars, and Mary, we will be arriving soon", I said.

     "You're leaving us for the mudblo-ahem-muggle-born", Bella spat the word muggle-born.

     I laughed, "Yes, Bella I am, also, Andy does have to explain where she was right".

     "Sometimes I wanna punch you", Andy growled.

     "What's stopping you", I teased as I ran down the hallway until I found Lily's compartment.

     "Thalia, glad you finally visited", Mars said sarcastically.

     "Sorry, I was held back by Rufus", I said.

     "Ugh, is he ever going to stay away", Lily said annoyed.

     "Anyway, since we will be getting to Platform 9 and 3/4 soon, I just wanted to say Merry Christmas, also will I see you at the ball thing", I asked.

     "I mean it is strictly for purebloods but the Potter's always are inviting many other people", Mary said.

     "I'll take that as a yes", I said as I heard the train make a screeching halt, "I better got get my bags".

     I heard a chorus of 'byes' from behind me. I yelled it back over my shoulder. When I got off the train with Bella, Cissy, and Andy. I looked around to find someone to pick me up.

     "Daughters, I missed you", I heard a cold voice say from behind me.

     "Mother", all 3 Black sisters said together, she must be their mother, Druella.

     "You must be Druella Black, I have heard many things about you", I said fake smiling.

     "And who might you be", another cold strict voice said.

     "Thalia Olympus", I said to Walburga Black, with Reggie by her side.

     "Thalia Olympus, my son has talked about you in his letters, I would love to meet your parent, maybe we can combine our 2 families together", she said with a sickly sweet smile.

     I stared at her in horror, she wants me to marry Regulus.

     "Mother, I think it's best if we let her go find her family", Reggie said cutting in.

     I gave him a grateful look.

     "Okay, I suppose, now where is the blood traitor", Walburga asked looking around for Sirius.

     "I'm here mother, I see you are tormenting other people too", Sirius said coming out of nowhere with attitude.

     "I wasn't tormenting her, we were just discussing, joining our 2 families together with my son Regulus and Thalia marrying each other", she said smirking. 

     "B-but you can't", Sirius stuttered.

     "And whys that, I can do whatever I want, you can't stop me, after all, all you are is a disgrace", Walburga said disgustingly.

     I felt the need to defend him but I ignored it and searched around the platform when I found Thalia and Chiron disguised as Mr. Brunner, "I think I should go find my family now, I just spotted them".

      "Oh where", Druella asked.

     Thalia and Mr, Brunner made it towards us.

     "Oh, you must be her family...", Walburga started.

     "Mr. Brunner, her godfather", Chiron said holding his hands out from his lap in his wheelchair.

     Walburga and Druella stared disgustingly at the wheelchair.

     Thalia decided to break the tension by introducing herself, "I'm Th-".

     I cut her off, "Bertha, she is Bertha", I said thinking of the first name in my head.

     Thalia stared at me like I was an alien.

     "And who are you to her", Walburga asked.

     "Sister", Thalia replied. 

     "Oh nice, so you will be the maid of honor at their wedding", Walburga said clapping her hands. 

     "Wedding", Thalia asked.

     "Oh, yeah, my son Regulus and your sister Thalia are getting married", Druella said cutting in.

     "Thank you, we better get going, bye", I said before anyone could say anything and rushed through the crowd so we were out of sight.

     "Watch it", someone said as I bumped into them.

     "James, be nicer", my mother said.

     "Sorry, Potter", I said.

     Mia my mother gasped, "It's you".

     My heart started beating rapidly, she couldn't've recognized me.

     "I'm so glad, that you will be attending the Potter ball, oh bring your friend too", she finished making me calm down.

     "That's my sister, Bertha", I said giggling at her new name.

     "Yeah, totally, my name is Bertha", Thalia said annoying but had a smile on her face.

     "Sister, you have a sister, and you didn't care to tell me, this just makes me feel more confused", James yelled, "First I thought I knew you before as if were somehow connected and now I find out you have a sister".

     "Not my fault that you were too busy being a lovesick puppy and stalking Lily", I said back.

     Mia started crying.

     "Mom, why are you crying", James asked, I didn't see Monty my father though.

     "B-because you two remind me of the old days", mom said probably thinking of me.

     "I miss Tero too", James said using the weird nickname he had for me, I almost started crying.

     "We better go", Mr. Brunner said looking at my face.

     "Bring, your friends to the ball", Mia said in tears.

     We went outside of the barrier thing at Platforms 9 and 3/4 where Nico was waiting for us with Mrs. O' Leary. I guess they were going to shadow-travel us out of her. I hugged Nico, missing my little brother, I feel like I owe it to him after Bianca died last year. 

     "Hey", Nico whispered.

     After our hug, they shadow-traveled us out of London and we made it to the border of the camp where we quickly went through the barrier before monsters could catch our sent.

     "You are back", Anna said crushing me in a hug.

     "Where's Silena", I asked after we pulled away.

     "She said she is going to go visit her father, remember", Annie said.

     "Oh, right", I said.

     Anna led me to the dining pavilion then everyone jumped out screaming 'Welcome Back'! I laughed, I didn't know I was this popular among the campers. We partied, I may or may not have poured blue coke all over Percy again.

Please vote, comment, and share! I was literally so bored listening to my sister and babysitting my brother. Anyway, I'm going to do the question thing again:

What should Asterope get for Christmas, like rly, if I don't get an answer, I'm going to end up writing every single thing she got by every single person, just making it up along the way?

Since it's COVID-19 are ya'll safe?

What do you want to happen at Walburga Black's house?

What is something you want to make happen at the ball?

I might add them in if they can fit in with what I have planned. I have been planning Christmas since chapter one, and we just got over Valentine's day!
