Who: Everyone
Where: Platform 9 3/4
When: September 1st, 1942

It was a dreary day, which was rather unfortunate since everyone seemed to be proper chuffed to be going back to school. All the students were milling around the Hogwarts Express, saying good by to their families and siblings, hoping they made it out of London safely. The attacks had seemed to stop, or at least platform 9 3/4 had enchantments against it for the safety of the students.

The train whistled loudly and all the students said their final goodbyes, hoping to see their families again soon. When everyone was on the train, it began to leave, a turret of smoke billowing up in the sky behind it as it gathered speed.

Once upon a time, Alfred Potter had friends he could go to school with. And then they all kissed him the summer before school started. The end. Well that was partially wrong. Olive had kissed him at the end of the school year, and Minnie had just a week or so ago. Oh god, he was amazing. But not really, because the Olive-kiss had made things awkward, and the Minnie-kiss had ...well it had been awful. So really, he had no idea who he was going to sit with. He walked down the corridors of the train, rapping on familiar-looking windows before giving up entirely and finding an empty compartment. He sat down, put his things down, and turned.

"WELL THIS IS FUN. I'M SITTING ALONE. ARE YOU ALL HAPPY NOW?"

He proclaimed loudly out the door.

If THAT didn't get his friends' attention he was disowning them as friends. OFFICIALLY.

Minnie furrowed her brow in her compartment with Oscar. Was that? No, that couldn't have been Alfred. She was just imagining things, right? Oh crap. She sighed and looked to Oscar and Ren, apologizing before getting up to find Alfred. He was so stupid sometimes, she thought. He couldn't just ask her to join him, like a normal person.

"Alfred?" she called, looking into each compartment. "Are you there?"

The summons appeared to have worked. He grinned and poked his head out of the door again, waving Minerva down to his compartment. He had no idea where anyone ELSE was, but he had one of his best friends now, and that was enough.

"MINNIE!" He called, delighted.

"I'm right here! Where in the world have you been, I was alone for about a whole fifteen minutes."

And in Alfred-time, that just was NOT right.

	Minnie rolled her eyes and walked towards him. "You're making an awful large racket, you know," she told him as she walked into the compartment and sat down across from him. "That's not very nice to the other people." She gave him a pointed look and then sighed. "How was your last week of summer? Did you die a most painful death waiting for school to begin again?"

"What other people?"

He smirked immediately, clearing his owl off the seat so she could sit down. He rather liked making large rackets. They were FUN. He immediately began pelting Minnie with candy, which he inevitably stocked up on for the long journey back to school, and ALWAYS threw them at her. And Olive, if Olive was here, which she WASN'T. She'd just have to miss the sweets, and he'd yell at her later.

"It was very uneventful. My mum even made me miss shopping. I bet I have all pink socks this year, she bought things for me.

"The other people on the train, of course."

Minnie made a face at him once he started to throw the candies. Sure, they were sweets, but he always managed to hit her nose or, in the case of fourth year, her eye. She hadn't been able to see out of it until she went to the Infirmary and missed the Sorting Hat's song. She never liked to miss the song. It was the best part of the year, really. Minnie picked up one of the sweets and threw it back at him. "You know I hate it when you do that."

Minnie laughed. "You look dashing in pink," she told him, rolling her eyes. "I'm sure people won't notice anyway."

	Ren had moved from her compartment with Oscar and Minnie because man, were things awkward~ in there. She's wandering the corridors when she hears Alfred's loudness. "Merlin, Al, you're such a drama queen." (Reply to this)(Parent)
