King Cross station, London

Aires POV

"Bye Dad, take care of mum" I said as I hugged my dad. Me along with Sagittarius were at King Cross station, Sagittarius lived in my neighbourhood so my dad gave her a lift. "Bye Mr Rosier" Sagittarius too hugged my dad.

Even though we weren't related, my dad treated Sagittarius as her own daughter and Sagittarius looked up to him a lot.

" You sure, you kids don't want any help to carry the luggage or anything?" my dad asked us with a questioning look. I mentally rolled my eyes, I've already assured him we'll be alright, several times.

"It's okay Mr Rosier, we'll manage just fine," Sagittarius said with a smile. My dad chuckled "okay okay, take care though and stay out of trouble" and later added "I'm talking to you Aires" he said with a pointed look. I once again resisted the urge to roll my eyes and said "I will dad" . Sagittarius laughed beside me "don't worry Mr Rosier I will make sure he does" at that, my dad just smiled .

After my dad drove back, me and Sag stared at the station filled with people carrying bags and suitacases, saying goodbyes to each other, rushing around to catch their trains, it truly was a sight.

I looked at Sagittarius and she looked back at me. Even though her face was nuetral i could tell she was excited. "What time is it ?" I asked. "9 : 45 " she replied. I smiled "well, we've enough time to get coffee, I guess" and I could see her eyes instantly lit up "Yay" she squealed "you're the best" I just chuckled at that. "We've to find Leo first though" I added . "We should just call and ask him where he is " she suggested, I nodded and took out my phone and called Leo. After some time , he finally picked up "Hey! Aires , my brothah" I heard Leo's cheerful voice on the other end "Heyo" I replied "Where are you?" "Oh I'm on the way , I'll be there in...10" he answered "okay ,we'll be at Starbucks, find us there" he chuckled "of course" he said but I can sense him smiling even through the phone "bye bro" "bye" and he hung up.

I turned back to Sagittarius who was on her phone. As if she sensed me staring , she looked up "Leo said he'll be here in ten and will meet us there" she nodded "so, shall we" she said happily , I laughed this girl just loves coffee "we shall" I rolled my eyes and let her drag me through the swarm of people.

On finally reaching Starbucks we were met with two familiar faces "AQUA!" Sag cried good gracious my ears , Sagittarius literally ran and tackled Aquarius with a not so gentle hug. Poor Aquarius, Sagittarius is hella strong, she once won when we were arm wrestling , purely on luck though. The table where Aquarius was standing , was seated Gemini with his reading glasses on, a book in hand and an amused look on his face as he saw the exchange between the two girls. I looked at their table and saw another book lying there, must be Aquarius', do these two never stop reading?

I finally went up to them "Hey Aquarius" I greeted , she smiled "Hey Aires and how many times have I told you , call me Aqua" I chuckled "Fine, nice to see ya AQUA" I replied sarcastically as I put emphasis on Aqua. She just laughed "You're still the same, aren't you Rosier" I grinned "duh" and she just laughed. Well she's still the same as well.

"Well, well if it isnt the quidditch captain of Gryffindor, Aires Rosier" Gemini said getting up from his seat as he looked at me through his glasses "the one and only" I replied. He smirked , I always found him weird, actually all the ravenclaw folks are weird except for...

My thoughts were interrupted as I heard a familiar cheery voice "Hey guys!"

Leo's POV

"Hey guys" I say as I see Aires, Sagittarius and Aquarius standing. They all look towards me "Hey bro" Aires says and gives me a brotherly hug, we do our secret handshake and laugh. "Hello Leo" Sag greeted, giggling "what took you so much time to get here?" she asked as she hugged me too "well, this perfect face takes time Sag ", I say as I point towards myself" she just rolls her eyes than laughs . I look beside her and see Aquarius standing there, I smirk "Hey Aqua, you're looking good" I say as I wink at her she just has an unamused look on her face " Thanks Leo, wish I could say the same for you" she replies sarcastically. How does she resist my charms? Every other girl can't.

Aquarius sits in one of the seats and that's when I notice a certain brunette wearing glasses, of course Gemini is here, I hate that smartass."Hello Leo" he says with formality but I can see him hide a smirk "Hello Gemini" I say bored. He extends a hand towards me, I look at it for some time and than back at his face, his eyes staring back at me through his glasses intensely, a truce and I decide to take it. I can hear Sagittarius sigh in the background. He than smirks again and sits back down. I hate his stupid smirk.

My thoughts were interrupted when I hear Aqua speak up "So what would you guys like to order, I know what Sag will have but what about you both?" She looks questioningly at me and Aires.
"I'll have a chai latte" Aires replies, she nods and looks at me expectantly "A cappuccino for me" I say. She than turns to Gemini " Gem , do you want something?" " no I've already have had a cup...wait , are you getting more for yourself too?" He asks a little surprised "well...yeah" Aqua replies sheepishly. "Aquarius you've already had two cups, you're gonna kill yourself with all that coffee" Gemini said as a matter of factly as he shook his head in disapproval, he is such a grandpa. But gotta say Aquarius is impressive, two cups and on to a three though, wow I thought Sag had it bad for coffee but Aquarius isn't any better. Aquarius than looked at Gemini and stuck her tongue out "That ain't stopping me" she said and went to the counter to place our order. Gemini just rolled his eyes. I chuckled at that, Aquarius really doesn't listen to anyone.

Meanwhile...

Two hufflepuffs stood on the other side of the station, bags in hand. One of them looked bored while the other looked frustrated.

Virgo's POV

"Where is she?" I asked irritated, Capricorn just rolled his eyes "She'll be here" he said unamused. I really wanted to say something not polite to him but refrained.

"What time is it?" Capricorn asked coolly, I checked my watch "it's almost 10", he nodded. "You hungry?" He asked after some time "nah"
"are you?" he just shook his head as a no.

I than heard an enthusiastic voice call my name "Virgo! here " I instantly recognized that voice. I inspected where the voice was coming from and then my honey colored eyes locked with two green ones and I felt myself smile. "HEY!" I waved and gestured for him to come here. Capricorn looked at me quizzically "who's he?" Cap questioned "Pisces" I replied not being able to control my smile "Gee, that tells a lot about who HE is" Capricorn replied sarcastically. Ugh "be nice Cap" I said as I looked at him "for me, please" I gave him the puppy dog eyes. "Fine" Capricorn rolled his eyes but I can see him hide a smile.

I looked back at Pisces and saw two people behind him. One I recognised as Scorpio, Hogwarts' 'bad boy'and the other was a very pretty girl, she looked sweet. "Hey virgo" Pisces said sweetly and suddenly hugged me, I was a little shocked at first but than I hugged him back too. He pulled away "it's so nice to see you" he said happily "it's so nice to see you too" i replied and I really was. The moment was than interrupted by Capricorn's fake coughing, I blushed coming back to reality.

"Oh yeah, Pisces this is Capricorn" I said awkwardly gesturing towards Cap. "Hey nice to meet you Capricorn" Pisces said warmly giving him a 100 bolt smile , Capricorn looked perplexed, it was really funny actually. Pisces is so nice to everyone. Capricorn regained his composure "Hey" he said coolly. Of course.

I than looked towards Pisces' two partners than back at him. He seemed to understand and said "Oh, I completely forgot" he said apologetically and shook his head "this is Scorpio and Cancer" he introduced "oh and this is Virgo and Capricorn" he said as he turned towards them. Scorpio just nodded at me as an acknowledgement huh and then looked at Capricorn "Carmichael" Scorpio said "Shackebolt" Cap replied and both shook hands. Well that wasn't weird at all.

Than the green haired girl turned to me
"Nice to meet you" she greeted, smiling widely well at least she's nice "Nice to meet you too" I said with a small smile. She than turned to Capricorn "Hey" she said kindly. Capricorn looked at her, I than nudged him in the ribs "Hey " he said in an obnoxiously high voice. Ugh

Cancer's POV

What's this guy's problem. First he ruined Pisces' and Virgo's moment which was super cute and now he's being rude. Then again, he seemed to know Scorpio so...

My thoughts were interrupted when
Pisces spoke up again "you know , Virgo gives great advice" at that Virgo blushed. I smirked internally SHIP. Virgo was about to say something when Scorp suddenly lost his balance and was about to fall but somehow managed. We all looked behind him and saw a girl with light brown hair. Poor girl now she has to go through Scorpio's wrath.

Scorpio looked very intimidating, he was staring at the girl angrily. The girl spoke up and apologised repeatedly "I'm so sorry, I wasnt looking where I was going" she had her phone in hand, of course she must be busy on it and mustn't have looked forward I know that because I do it all the time. Needless to say I've gotten into some accidents like these myself but when the person you crashed into is Scorpio...you're dead meat. The girl than looked behind Scorpio "Hey Virgo, Cap, I finally found you guys" she said as she approached them and greeted them. I looked back at Scorpio and he seems to be fuming with anger "Hey! You" he spat with venom while pointing at the girl. "Yeah, can I help you?"the girl asked as she faced him, confused.

I looked around to see the others' reactions and found Capricorn smirking and looking amused Ugh of course, I than looked towards Pisces and he seemed distracted, I mentally shook my head than i turned towards Virgo and she looked very intimidated not that I blame her, Scorpio can be very scary but me and Pisces have known him for years so it doesn't faze us at all.

Than Scorpio spoke again "Yeah you can, I think you owe me an apology" Scorpio said with the same venomous tone, "I THINK I already gave you one" the girl replied sarcastically. Wow, I've never seen anyone speak like that to Scorpio, I like her.
"Well, I didn't hear it the first time so you better apologise now" Scorpio said almost yelling. "Well mister, if you have a hearing problem than you should get yourself checked to the doctor rather than yelling at me cause I may get a hearing problem too" the girl replied with sass but without losing her cool. I really wanted to laugh but I restrained myself. Hey, but I wasn't the only one, I could hear the others holding their giggles too.

As much as I was enjoying the scene unfold, I didn't want Scorpio to go pshyco mode so I broke in. "Hey I think we should get to platform 9 3/4" I said as I checked my watch. "C'mon, we'll be late" i said as i took Scorpio's arm and dragged him along, I looked back at the girl and gave her a small grin, she stared back at me and smiled thankfully.

Taurus' POV

Thank you to the girl I dont know the name of, I'll thank her later and get her name but if she wouldn't have stepped in, I would've really killed that guy. He was so ....aagh

My not so pleasant thoughts were interrupted by a brunette boy who was giggling" I loved how you stood up to Scorp, I mean I love him he's my friend but he kinda deserved that" he said smiling. "Er..thanks I guess..." i trailed off "oh, I'm Pisces" he said cheerfully, extending his hand for me to shake "Taurus" I shook his hand and smiled back, couldn't help it, his smile was contagious. The boy Pisces than bent down "Hey is this your cat?" He questioned looking up "Yeah" I replied. "It looks so content sleeping" he said and that's when Capricorn chimed in "Yeah, it can sleep through anything just like his mistress" Cap said cynically, Pisces started giggling.

That's when Virgo spoke up "I think we should catch up with Cancer and Scorpio" so the devil's name is Scorpio and the girl who saved me must be Cancer.

Pisces and Virgo moved ahead of us which was weird because I expected Virgo to give me a good-long lecture about my tardiness but hey, not like I'm complaining. I then shifted my gaze towards Capricorn and glared at him as we trailed behind the two
"Hey! I do not always sleep" Cap smirked
"I didn't even say that, I said you could sleep through anything" he replied teasingly "That's not true either" I defended myself
"Oh really, than would you like to enlighten me as to why you were late" he said while wiggling his eyebrows and his ever present smirk in place. "I... forgot to set my alarm the night before" I said lamely. " whatever you say" he laughed "that's what happened"

Meanwhile

Aires, Sagittarius, Leo, Aquarius and Gemini have already walked through the wall between platform 9 & 10 and are at platform 9 3/4.

Gemini's POV

As we are standing on platform 9 3/4, I observe my surroundings and in the crowd I recognize a familiar face. I nudge Aquarius who was talking with Sagittarius. Aqua turns towards me with a questioning look. I point towards Libra "I guess Lockhart is here", she looks towards where I'm pointing than smiles.

"Hey Libra, Libra"
goddammit did she have to shout so loud.
I look around and see Sagittarius and Leo look confused, probably wondering who Libra is whereas Aires has a weird look, I can't really decipher. That makes me smirk, this is gonna be fun.

Libra comes over towards us. She hugs Aquarius first "Hey Aqua, long time no see" she says smiling "yeah...oh and the movie was awful" Aqua said excitedly. Libra laughs "well I would love to hear your observations". I know what they're talking about, last year Libra was Aquarius' new roommate because something happened to her old one which I'd rather not say. So anyways, since they were living together, they made good friends and we became friends too, Libra loved watching movies and we used to watch these awful low-budget movies and roasted them to the core, 'twas fun.

She then turned to me "Hey Gem, how ya doin' " she said as she hugged me too. "Just peachy" I replied, showing her my teeth. "Ahhh" she said with a knowing look. Libra than looked behind us and a smile formed on her face "Hello Aires" she said still smiling . I looked at Aires' face and correct me if I'm wrong but Aires looked nervous. "Hey Libra, nice too see you" I smirked, he regained his composure but he was definitely nervous a minute ago.

"Well, well and who might you be " I can hear Leo's flirty voice as he winked at Libra. I saw Aqua roll her eyes beside me and Aires seemed kinda mad or shall I say jealous.
*smirks*

Libra chuckled at Leo "oh, you can call me Libra" that's when Sagittarius butted in "Don't mind him, he's a man-whore" Libra gave a genuine laugh at that "I'm Sagittarius" Sag said with a smile "Libra, right?" And Libra nodded as a yes and they started talking to each other about 'stuff'. Huh they both hit it off. "How come Aqua never introduced me to you" Sag asked Libra. "Oh she did but it was very brief cause as soon as she introduced us I had to leave for class" and they continued...

I saw Aqua smiling while looking at Sag and Lib, guess she was happy they were getting along. I checked my watch its 10:55 . "C'mon people let's go" I said as I took Aquarius' arm and dragged along my luggage.
