September 1st, the day Dahlia Falcone would go on the Hogwarts express for the very first time. She along with her siblings had been busy packing their trunks for days now. Their parents had given them a couple extra Galleons for the trolley.

Dahlia gazed around her house for what felt like would be the last time for awhile. She smiled slightly before picking up Tewksbury, yep she names her cat Tewksbury after the famous family. 

She stroked the cats head before picking up the rucksack that had a few essentials she had gotten for her before walking out and closing the door behind her.

✦✧✦✧

They reached the train station not long after leaving the house. They got some trolleys and loaded their luggage onto them.

Tewksbury sat on the luggage on Dahlia's trolley as pushed it. The family walked until they reached platform 9 and 10.

"Alright dears all you need to do is run to that pillar between the two platforms." Iris instructed the children.

"All right boys, you first." Raymond said before Nicholas and Bellamy positioned themselves before running at full speed straight through the pillar.

"Right, Celeste, you next." Iris said before Celeste repeated the same thing her brothers had just done.

"Okay Dahlia. Now I'm not taking the train today. I have some business to attend to at Hogsmeade but I'll see you at school." Iris td the girl.

Iris Falcone was one of the four professors of Elemental Studies. There were four professors because each of them were each of the different kinds of Elementals.

Dahlia positioned herself before running straight for the pillar. She felt herself go through something and felt her environment change. She opened her eyes while taking deep breaths, she saw this red and black train that read 'Hogwarts Express.' Iris and Raymond followed shortly after. They helped their children get their trunks on board.

"Right you three better..." Raymond started.

"Behave! We know!" Nicholas, Bellamy and Celeste said simultaneously sounding slightly annoyed.

"Love you too." He said as the 3 entered the train. "Wow, my youngest is going for her first year." Raymond said with pride.

"I'll see you for Christmas." Dahlia giggled as her father picked her up making the girl wrap her arms around his neck.

"I'm so proud of you." He whispered to her as they tears stream down both their cheeks.

"I love you Dad." She said with her head in the crook of his neck.

"I love you too." Dahlia said before kissing his check.

He put her down before hugging her mother, it wasn't a long one since she would start classes with her tomorrow.

She waved her parents goodbye before taking Celeste's hand and climbing onto the train.

There were only a few minutes before the train would leave so Dahlia had decided to find a carriage. She assured her older siblings that she would do fine on her own as she took Tewksbury from her brothers and sat in an empty Carriage.

She sat there for a few minutes before she saw a familiar face at the door.

"May I?" Harry asked as he stood in the doorway.

"Of course. There's plenty of room." Dahlia insisted before her friend sat on the seat next to hers.

The two friends sat and talked for a few more minutes, during that Demetria joined them before a familiar ginger haired boy came to the door.

"Excuse me, do you mind? Everywhere else is full." The ginger asked the three.

"Sure." Demetria responded before the boy smiled slightly and sat opposite the three.

"I'm Ron, by the way. Ron Weasly." He introduced himself to the three.

"I'm Harry, Harry Potter."

"So...so it's true?" Ron whispered." I mean do you really have..."

"The what?" Harry asked

"the scar?" Ron asked nervously before Harry pushed up the hair that covered his forehead, showing his scar.

"Wicked!" Ron exclaimed making both of them smile.

"Oh yeah I'm Dahlia Falcone and this is Demetria Blanche." Dahlia said before recognizing him.

"Ron?!"

"Dahlia?!"

"Merlins beard, it's been ages!" Dahlia exclaimed before she handed over Tewksbury to Demetria and  hugged her old friend.

"How do you two know eachother?" Demetria asked her.

"Her twin siblings are best friends with my triplet siblings." Ron stated with a smile before the two sat down again.

Only after a few moments did the trolley came by.

"Anything off the trolley dears?" The lady pushing it asked.

"No thanks I'm all set." Ron said as he held up a clump of who knows what earning a sympathetic look from the three.

"We'll take the lot." Harry answered as he pulled up a hand full of Galleons.

After Harry had paid for the candy the 4 children dug in. Dahlia mainly stuck to the chocolate frogs.

"Bertie Botts Every-Flavoured Beans?" Harry read in a confused tone.

"They mean every flavour." Ron assured the boy.

"There's Chocolate and Peppermint." Dahlia started before eating another Chocolate Frog.

"There's also Spinach, Liver and Tripe." Demetria finished as she sat on the other side with her feet up.

"George swears he got a bogey once." Ron told the boy before he took the bean out his mouth.

Harry then looked through the sweets.

"These aren't real frogs are they?" Harry asked the group as he studied the box.

"Of course not. It's just a spell." Dahlia assured the boy

"Its the card you want, each box has a famous witch or wizard. I've got about 500 me self." Ron continued before he opened the box and the frog jumped out.

"Watch it!" Dahlia exclaimed as the frog climbed onto the window and out into the wind, free, though it'll probably be dead soon.

Dahlia zoned out as she reached into her pocket to grab a snack for Tewksbury that she had taken from the rucksack. She looked up and saw Ron and Harry talking about Ron's rat Scabbers. She then saw Ron pull out his wand grabbing her attention again.

"Have any of you seen a toad? A boy named Neville has lost one." A girl asked as she stood behind Dahlia in the doorway.

They all shook their head in response but Ron's wand caught her attention.

"Oh are you doing magic?  Let's see then." The girl chimed insisting for Ron to do his spell.

"Sunshine Daisies, Butter mellow, turn this stupid fat rat yellow." Ron chanted before pointing his wand at the rat, all it did was push the box that Scabbers was eating out of away making the boy shrug his shoulders.

"That cannot be a real spell." Dahlia mumbled as she stroked Tewksbury's head.

"Well it's not very good is it?" The girl chuckled. "Of course I've only tried a few simple ones myself but they've all worked for me." The girl said before walking into the carriage, climbing over Demetrias legs and sitting opposite Harry.

"For example, Oculus Reparo." The girl said while pointing her wand at Harry's glasses, making the tape holding the frame together unravel, revealing a fixed frame."That's better, isn't it?" She asked the boy as Ron and Harry sent looks to eachother while Dahlia and Demetria just smiled at the girl.

"Holy cricket, you're Harry Potter! I'm Hermione Granger. And you three are?"

"Ron Weasly."

"Dahlia Falcone."

"Demetria Blanche."

"Pleasure. You three better get changed into robes. I expect we'll be arriving soon." Hermione responded earning smiles from the two other girls while making her way out the carriage. "You've got dirt on your nose by the way...Did you know? Just there." She told the boy while pointing to the spot on her nose making the Dahlia and Demetria stifle a laugh.

They knew that this would be an interesting first year.
