DESCENDANT.
Chapter 08.
╚═══════✧₊∘╝The entire Weasley household is in chaos on the morning that all of the children are to get onto the Hogwarts Express. The back to school morning turns into a jumble of hell and curse words as everyone is fighting over one and other to get ready on time.
Fred and George appeared to have not packed anything at all until that morning. Ginny was rushing around frantically looking for her diary, a present she got for Hera Bellator, since they spent a lot of time together at the Summer Ball. Lorenzo couldn't find his wand anywhere, only to find it stuck in the toaster of all places. And Arthur nearly trips over a chicken as he carries the trunks to the Ford Angela.
By the time that the sun comes up over the Burrows they're on their way in car to London. The car is crammed to the brim with luggage from all of the children. All of the children are sat in the backseats of the Ford Angela, and it's a snug fit to say the least.
It's only just turning a quarter to 11 by the time that they reach King's Cross Station. Only quarter of an hour before the train would leave the station.
Molly is frantically rushing all of the children through the station so that they can reach the train in time. Such a long line of children that she has to get through the barrier on time.
"Mattheo, Enzo, take Ginny through with you" Molly instructs the boys. Mattheo and Lorenzo are the most likely to get into trouble, so Molly wants them through the barrier first.
Arthur, Ron and Harry are unloading the car of their gear. James and Lily both had to work today so the Weasleys had to bring Harry to King's Cross Station. Another child that Molly and Arthur are responsible for getting to the Hogwarts Express.
Mattheo and Lorenzo run at the barrier with their trollies and with Ginny in tow. They pass right through the stone wall barrier, and something feels slightly different this year, like the wall is trying to fight back.
The three of them make it through to Platform 9 3/4. The platform is packed with people that are saying goodbye to their families.
Ginny is practically bouncing with excitement. She gets to come to Hogwarts this year with the rest of the family. And she's already made friends with Hera Bellator and few more first-years from the Summer Ball.
"Oh, hey, I'm going to go and find Penny" Lorenzo tells Mattheo. That big dopey grin on Lorenzo's face tells Mattheo that he's ecstatic to find Penny.
Mattheo nods, knowing that Lorenzo isn't going to think properly until he sees Penny. The rest of the Weasleys begin to come through and Ginny sticks close to them.
Mattheo only has to wander for a little while before he meets up with Artemis and Frey. They're saying goodbye to the Bellator family.
Once the two girls have finished saying their goodbyes the three of them head onboard to find a compartment and their friends.
Frey is barged past by a bunch of running first-years. "It seems busier this year" Frey notes. It's a lot harder to move through the crowded train.
"It'll be the same amount of students" Artemis tells her. "You're just taller this year. And we're a larger group?" Artemis suggests to Frey.
