( Song to listen t while reading this chapter: Good Luck, Babe by Chappell Roan )

Orion just sits then, stunned, he knew this was going to happen, he didn't want this to happen. Why him? Then he stammers "B-but what?" he didn't know what to say. He father glared at him as he growled, "Remember what i said." Damn, he got him there, yes he did remember what his father said, vividly. He nods as he stands up, walking over to Sora and kissing her hand as he said in a soft tone, "Hello." he was only doing this to make his father proud. The clock ticked, two hours until he got away from this hellhole. Two long, miserable hours. Orion just sat there as his father and his boss talked about work as his 'girlfriend' swoons over him. He hated this. 

Orion checks the time, it was still two hours. He hated waiting. Then he stands up, looking at his father as he says "I'm going to Diagon alley to go get some stuff, I won't be coming back as I'll be meeting some friends are Kings Cross." Finally he can get away from this hell. His father just nodded as he walks off to Diagon Alley. 

He walks into Weasley Wizard Wheezes where his best friends, Fred and George Weasley, worked. Orion looks around and he smiles at all the joke products the twins created by themselves. Then he squealed as Fred tickles his sides, "Fred!" he exclaimed as he turns around, looking up at the taller boy. The red-headed boy looks down and chuckles as he says "And hello to you too Star."

Star, a nickname all his friends gave him, he loved that nickname. He looked at Fred with a sad smile on his face. He looks at the time. One hour, one hour until hes back at Hogwarts. He can't wait. He's finally getting away from all troubles of his home life. Fred notices the sad smile on his friends face as he asked, "Whats wrong?" that snapped Orion out of his trance as he sighs, mumbling, "My dad has finally done it, he's forced me into a relationship." Fred's eyes widen. He looks down at him as Fred's twin, George walks over too the pair as he asks "What happened?" clearly asking about Orion by the looks on his twins face. Orion looks at George as he repeats what he said to Fred "My dad forced me into a relationship, with a girl." George just stared at him as his eyes slowly widen. 

He looks at the time, it was 10:45am. 15 minutes until the journey to Hogwarts starts. Orion looks at the twins as he smiles, saying "I better get going, i only have 15 minutes until the train leaves." He cant wait to leave all responsibilities behind. As Orion runs through the baracade to Platform 9 and 3/4, the crimson red train with the words 'Hogwarts Express' comes into view, finally hes going home. He hops onto the train, looking around for a compartment as he sees his friends, Ace Weasley, Alyssa Malfoy and Alex Diggory. He sits next to Alyssa as he sighs, laying on her. The blond haired girl starts playing with his hair as she asked, "What happened now Star?" He didn't want to tell them what happened over the summer, how his mental health has gotten worse, how his father was getting worse, how he tried to commit suicide over the summer. He just answered, "Nothing." Of course his friends didn't believe him but they didn't push him to speak. He hated speaking about his home life and mental health. It was the one thing he never talked about, sometimes not even to his close friends. 

The train ride was long, Ace and Alex was playing muggle cards while Orion was still laying in Alyssa's lap, slowly falling asleep while Alyssa was playing with his hair. He loved his friend group, they was like a family to him, a family who cared for him. Ace looks at Orion and Alyssa and smiles, side-eyeing them as he snorts a tiny bit. Alyssa glares at Ace, silently telling him to be quiet as Orion slowly closes his eyes, falling into a peaceful sleep, something he hadn't had for a while. It was peace at last. That was until Christmas. 

Alex looks at Alyssa and Orion as he smiles softly, asking in a hushed tone, "Is he okay?" Alyssa just shrugs as she looks down at Orion, who was still in a deep sleep, stirring a tiny bit to get comfy. Finally he is at peace with himself and with his friends, he needed this after the shitty summer he had. After a few more minutes, Orion groans as he wakes up, looking up at Alyssa, his brown eyes meeting Alyssa's green eyes as he smiles softly. Alyssa looks down and then says to the others, "Sleepy head is up."

The red-headed boy, Ace, looks over at the two and kneels down in front of Orion, moving the stray hairs out of his face in a fatherly way and asks "You okay dude, you was asleep for a while?" Orion just nods as he rubs his eyes, looking around for his glasses, asking with a groggy tone, "Where the fuck did i put my glasses?" He looks around more as Ace hands him his glasses, saying "You fell asleep wearing them, Alyssa places them on the table." then he helps Orion put his glasses on as he carefully sits up, fixing his messy hair as he smiles at Alex who was sitting opposite him, then Alex said, "You do know if anything is going on you can tell us? We are your friends, we wont judge."

Orion nods softly, his head was pounding but he didn't know why, then he saw Draco Malfoy, Alyssa's younger brother, and Harry Potter outside their carriage, talking about something as he asks Alyssa, "Alyssa, is that your younger brother, talking with Harry Potter, having a normal conversation for once?" 

Alyssa looks outside as well as she nods, she just stares as she asks confusedly, "What the fuck, they can have a normal conversation?" then Ace joins in and says "Y'know, Ron has suspicions that Harry and Draco are dating "Ace smirks as he adds on ''Why don't we stalk them?'' Orion's eyes widen a little as he says bluntly, "No."

Ace's smirk falls into a small frown as he turns to face the window, his back facing Orion in a sulk as he grumbles, "You're no fun." Alex giggles a little as he rubs his boyfriend's back, saying "Its okay love, but Orion has a point, we can't stalk them, unless we have a map that can." Alyssa's eyes widen as she says, "The Marauders Map, it shows where everyone is in the castle at any given moment." Ace nods as he says "She has a point, we could use that, but doesn't Harry have it."

"We'll just have to find a way to get it," Orion says with a smirk.
