For a long moment Janna and the boy had locked eyes, until the woman who had come a few moments before began to speak to Harry, they awkwardly looked away from each other's eyes before trying to avoid any eye contact.

"H-hi" The boy said, Janna blushed and held the bar of her trolley a little further to look at him more clearly through the thick smoke.

"Hullo" Janna responded, the two stared at each other again before the boy broke the ice as someone walked past in the steam.

"E-Everyone calls me Al—but it's actually Albus" The boy put his hand out to Janna who leaned on her one hand on her trolley so she could reach out the other.

"It's nice to meet you Albus, my name is Janna" Janna took his hand, he gently shook her slender hand. It was at this point that Janna had completely forgotten about covering up her scars.

The train let out a whistle, Albus let Janna's hand go before he quickly helped her with her trunk, Ginny brought James into a hug while Lily asked about why she had to wait two years until she could go to Hogwarts.

"Al, come here, I'd like to talk to you quickly" Harry called to Albus who quickly smiled to Janna before running off the Harry, Teddy came to Janna's side after he kissed Victorie's flushed cheeks.

"I think Al might be in love with you" Teddy said leaning to Janna slightly.

"What makes you think that?" Janna asked as she watched Harry and Albus talk to each other as James waved to his father and mother.

"You should have seen him when he saw you, his eyes were nearly touching you" Teddy then waved to Victorie who was waving by one of the window as the train did another whistle "you better get going"

"Thank you Teddy for getting me here" Janna smiled, Teddy put out a hand for Janna to shake, she immediately shook it but instead of a shake she got a hug.

"You're now my new little sister" Teddy patted Janna's shoulder, she chuckled shyly before he let go. Janna timidly waved before turning around and heading towards Albus who was waiting by an open door.

"Bye Janna" Harry said behind Janna, she turned quickly and said goodbye. Afterwards Janna went first before Albus into the train, Ginny closed the door after Albus.

A loud whistle echoed through the platform, the whistle was followed by the Hogwarts Express' pistons creaking to life before clanking every so slightly to gain momentum. In the train Albus, Rose and Janna waved to everyone, Janna mostly waved to Teddy and Harry.

After the train left through the station out into the world, the group quickly unsettled to find a cabin. The carriage of the train was quickly sieving the other children who leaked into cabins.

Albus lead Janna while Rose seemed to be deep in thought as she glanced in every cabin to see if there was room. As the three walked they encountered an old lady pushing a trolley which was stockpiled with many pastries and delights.

"Anything off the trolley dears?" The Trolley lady asked, Janna glanced at the sweets to look at each one while Albus was already staring lovingly at the chocolate section of the trolley.

"You two!" Rose then yanked the two out the way of the trolley lady who was called by a few other cabins behind the group "We have to focus on other things right now!"

"L-Like what?" Albus asked, Janna then glanced back at the trolley before looking at Rose who continued to peek in the cabins.

"Like finding friends. Remember Al, my mum, dad, and your dad met on this train. We need to find the right ones who we can spend the next seven years with!" Rose stuck her head around a cabin before pausing and moving onto the next one.

"And am I just chopped liver?" Janna muttered, Rose looked over her shoulder.

"Nope, you're the lucky number one," Rose then looked forwards again like a hound who caught a scent "but we need to find more so Al doesn't have to sleep in the girls' dorm"

"Rose, you're still eager on planning out your life so quickly? Isn't it scary knowing what's coming for you?" Albus asked, Rose shrugged before glancing into another cabin.

"Actually Al, it's rather exciting. Who wouldn't want to be friends with us, a Granger-Weasley, a Potter and Janna Black! Who wants to be left out of this group!" Rose said excitedly before stopping at a cabin right at the end of the carriage "we'll rate them before making a decision, ergo we get to know more people."

"Is she usually like this?" Janna muttered to Albus who nodded as Rose quickly knocked on a cabin door before opening it.

Rose then stuck her head through "Is this cabin—"

"Of course!" A fair headed boy said with much enthusiasm "it's only me"

Rose then realised who was but it was too late to say anything to Janna and Albus who sat opposite this young boy. "Is it alright if we just stay here for a bit?" Asked Janna, feeling her leg twinge a little with pain from all the movement of the morning.

"Oh that's alright" The boy said before seeing Rose coming in before looking at the two in front of him "hi..."

"Albus. Al." Rose then sat next to Janna causing her to scotch up to Albus "My—I'm... My name is Al" Albus said quickly, Janna could see he was nervous.

"Hi Scorpius—I mean, I'm Scorpius—You're Albus—I'm Scorpius" Scorpius looked at Janna before gaping "you're Julianna Black! The lost heir of  the house of Black!"

"The name Janna will be fine" Janna responded gently before Scorpius looked at Rose.

"And you must be..." Scorpius trailed off blankly, this made Rose turn a violent shade of red.

"Rose." Rose said coldly.

"Hi then Rose. Care for a Fizzing Whizzbee?" Scorpius asked, Janna looked at Rose who quickly responded "I've already had breakfast, thanks". Scorpius then looked at Janna and Albus "I've also got some Pepper imps, Shock-o-Choc and a couple of Jelly Slugs. It is mum's idea, sweets help you make friends." Scorpius glanced at Rose quickly "Stupid idea probably"

Janna realised she hadn't had any breakfast, she looked at Albus then at Scorpius "Sure, we'll have. Mum doesn't let me have sweets." Albus said "Which one would you start with?"

Rose now glared at Janna and Albus who shifted slightly away from her in their seats.

"Easy. The Pepper imp, of course, it is considered the King of the confectionery bag." Scorpius looked at the two in front of him who seemed a bit blank as Rose then walked over to Albus' side "they're peppermint sweets which make you smoke out your ears"

"Brilliant, I'll have. Ja-Janna, your thoughts?" Albus asked Janna, it didn't take Janna too long.

"They sound fantastic to me" Janna smiled sweetly, in her side view Rose hit Albus on the shoulder, out of Scorpius' sight. Rose then hit Albus' shoulder again.

"Please Rose, can you stop hitting me" Albus quickly said to Rose who pulled a confused face.

"I'm not hitting you" Rose echoed but Janna thought otherwise.

"You were hitting Albus, Rose" Janna said, Rose quickly shot a stone cold death glare at Janna.

"She's hitting you because of me..." Scorpius said grimly, Janna glared at Rose who pulled a hard angry face.

"Pardon?" Albus asked, this made Scorpius slowly lower his head.
