The day to go to Hogwarts came faster than Harry expected and soon enough it was time to leave. Harry and his family were all at the Platform 9 3/4. All his sisters were crying while his younger brother Leon gave him a pat on the back.
"Say Harry, um, you don't mind if I stay in your room sometimes do you?" Leon asked.
"Sorry squirt, I locked my room magically. You'll need to ask mum or dad to unlock it for you," Harry said smiling at his younger brother.
Harry had indeed locked his room. He'd wandlessly done it while his mother looked on approvingly and his father stood by with a total stunned expression. Harry made sure to show it took a lot of concentration and power to do that little feat (even though it didn't and could have done it with a snap of his fingers if he so chose) so his parents wouldn't think he was too powerful too quickly. He'd already gotten some sort of strange speech from his dad regarding responsibility and didn't need another one to go along with using power wisely and for the greater good and all that crap.
Several days earlier he'd finally gotten around to telling his dad about his wand and a little about his wandless ability. He made him promise like his mother to not tell anyone yet. Not even Dumbledore until Harry felt he was ready. And especially not the kids as they'd want to do the same thing as he did and that would lead to trouble for everyone if little Lily was able to summon PB&J sandwiches from wherever. "Next thing you'd know, we'd be knee-deep in magical reversal squads and obliviators trying to keep pace with all the 'accidental magic' discharges out here," Harry reasoned.
He snapped out of his thoughts when his mother started to cry onto his shoulder. Again. She was laughing while tears were rolling down her cheek.
"It's ok mum, I'll be fine." Harry said trying to calm the hysterical red-head mother.
When she released him, Sirius' children ran up and hugged him goodbye as well. After all of them said their goodbyes, Jasmine ran up and gave Harry a small quick kiss on the cheek leaving everyone in both families to stare at the youngsters. When she let go, she was blushing furious, and ran off to hide behind her mother.
Harry was just dumbfounded. He was just staring in front of him in shock. He snapped out of it when Sylvia came up and hugged him goodbye.
Everyone was laughing at Harry's still dumb expression and the blushing Jasmine.
However, poor little Lily was crying hysterically.
"Harry… (hic) big… (sob) big brother… you… (hic) don't like… us no more… (sob) so that's why… (sob) you go?" She cried another fresh about of tears.
Harry laughed silently at his little sister's tears. He kissed her on the cheek when she hugged him as fiercely as her small arms could. "There… there… I'm not leaving forever; I'll be coming back. Not for a while, but I'll be back in time for Christmas. You'll be a good girl, okay Lily?" Harry asked.
She cried harder and spoke in broken sobs.
"I… (hic) pwomise… I'll be… (sob) a good… girl… I pwomise… so please… (hic) don't leave me." She cried out another fresh bout of tears.
Harry gave his parents a look that said help.
His mum immediately tried to stop her poor daughter, but she couldn't do much because she was crying as well.
"M-My baby b-boy (sob) is all grown up and (hic) going to H-Hogwarts, it feels like it was just y-yesterday when I (hic) changed his n-nappies." She then burst into another bout of tears while hugging her baby daughter Lily who was crying along with her.
His father rolled his eyes and pulled both of them back.
"Take care son, and make sure you learn extra hard in class. Take extra notes or something like that," his father said. Although his original thoughts were: 'Don't forget to play pranks on your teachers in class! And especially on Snape. Greasy git. Go get him, tiger! Hey, is this thing on? Hello? Echo, echo, echo. And now in as the third chaser on your Quidditch team, James POTTER! Potter - Potter - potter…'
When Harry turned around to leave, he waved goodbye. "Bye, everyone! I'll miss you!"
The Potters and Blacks all waved to him as he climbed aboard. His sisters were holding back tears as he left. "Rose?"
"Yes, Shelia?"
"You know who has to take over making breakfast now?"
"No one really. I've asked mum to let me go shopping with her later today and I'm stocking up on cereal. Don't worry, I'll work on mum to get some in order to leave her more time to make lunch."
"Then won't we have lunch to worry about?"
"You maybe. I'm planning on eating a school lunch, as awful as I've heard they are. Bye, Harry! Have fun!"
