Chapter 5 Leaving Home

Lindsay's POV

I was walking in Kings Cross Station. Ginny was sitting on my trolley. I had given Ginny her first Birthday present and showed her how they work.

"Where are we going," Mum asked knowing exactly where we are going.

"Platform 9 and 3/4," Ginny said.

We reached platforms nine and ten.

"Percy you first," Mum said.

Percy ran through the wall between the platforms.

"Fred you next," Mum said.

"He's not Fred I am," George said.

"Honestly woman you call yourself our mother," Fred said.

"Oh sorry George," Mum said.

"I'm only joking I am Fred," Fred said then ran through the wall with George following.

Mum was not pleased.

"Excuse me," a boy said just before Ron was going to go.

He walked over to us. I could tell this was my twin brother from his hair and his eyes.

"Could you tell me how to-," he started.

"How to get on the platform. Not to worry dear it's Ron and Lindsay's first time at Hogwarts as well," Mum said.

I smiled at him.

"Now all you have to do is walk straight at the wall between platforms 9 and 10. Best do it in a bit of run if you're nervous," Mum said.

"Good luck," Ginny said.

He was ready to run through the wall but was a bit nervous.

"Don't worry you'll be fine," I said.

He nodded at me and ran. Next was Ron and then myself with Ginny and Mum. I saw the red train. I put my trunk on the train along with Snow before going back to Ginny and Mum. I could hear Fred and George teasing Percy. I kneeled in front of Ginny.

"Hey little Robin," I said wiping her tears away.

"I wish I could go this year Canary," Ginny said. 

"I know. I got another birthday present for you," I said pulling a journal out of my pocket.

She looked at me weird. I chuckled.

"It's not empty. It's filled with stories for you. There's a list of them and you just have to say the title of it and my voice will read it to you. Dad and Remus helped me with the charms," I said.

Ginny hugged me tight. I hugged her back.

"I love it," Ginny said.

"I'm glad little Robin," I said.

"We can use our rings and you'll write to me," Ginny asked.

"Everyday if you want and once a week I could send you a letter," I said.

"I'd like that," Ginny said.

We pulled apart. I changed my appearance so I didn't have freckles and my hair was black. I left a strand of it red.

"How do I look," I asked.

"Beautiful Canary," Ginny said.

"Thanks little Robin," I said.

The whistle of the train blew. I kissed Ginny's forehead before getting on the train. I watched her run beside the train as it started moving. Once Ginny was out of sight Ron and I went to find a compartment. We found one with Harry.

"Can we sit here? Everywhere else is full," Ron said.

"No of course," Harry said gesturing to the seats in front of him.

Ron and I sat down.

"I'm Ron by the way. Ron Weasley," Ron said.

"I'm Harry. Harry Potter,"

"So it's true. Do you really have the- the," Ron said

"The what," Harry asked.

"Scar," Ron said.

I whacked Ron. Harry lifted the fringe of his hair to show us his scar.

"Wicked," Ron said.

Harry then looked at me.

"I'm Lindsay Potter," I said.

Harry looked at me shocked.

"Yes we're related. I'm your twin sister actually. Ron over here is my brother as we were raised together," I said.

"Do you have any other siblings other than Ron," Harry asked.

"I grew with six older brothers including Ron. I heard the twins helped you. Only four Weasley boys at Hogwarts. Bill is in Egypt while Charlie is in Romania. Then there's our little sister Ginny. She's the one who wished you luck," I said.

Just then the trolley lady came.

"Anything off the trolley dears," she asked us.

"No thanks I'm all set," Ron said pulling out his sandwich.

I had one too which I would eat around lunch since I always check my sandwich.

"We'll take a lot," Harry said taking a ton of galleons from his pocket.

"Woah," Ron said at seeing the money.

We got a lot of sweets. Ron moved to sit next to Harry I ate my sandwich that Mum made before eating any sweets.

"Bertie Botts every flavored beans," Harry asked.

"They mean every flavour. There's chocolate and peppermint and marmalade. There's also spinach and liver and tripe. George swears he got a bogey flavored one once," Ron said.

Harry took a bite out of one then spit it out. Then he picked up a chocolate frog.

"These aren't real frogs are they," Harry asked.

"It's just a spell. Besides it's the card you want. Each pack comes with a famous witch or wizard. I've got about 500 of them," Ron said.

Harry opened the box.

"Watch it," Ron said.

The chocolate frog jumped onto the window and then outside.

"Rotten luck," Ron said.

Harry looked at his card.

"I got Dumbledore," Harry said.

"I have about six of him," Ron said.

"I have five," I said opening my chocolate frog.

I held my hand out and my frog jumped on it. I then bit the head.

"Hey he's gone," Harry said as he looked back at his card.

"You can't expect him to wait around all day now can you," Ron said.

I looked at my card.

"Who'd you get Linds," Ron asked.

"Godric Gryffindor," I said.

Harry then looked at Scabbers.

"This is Scabbers. Pathetic isn't he," Ron asked.

"Just a little bit," Harry said.

"Fred and George gave me a spell to turn him yellow. Want to see," Ron asked.

"Yeah," Harry said excitedly.

I held back a laugh as Ron took his wand out and pointed it at Scabbers.

"Sun-," Ron started.

A girl with bushy brown hair came in.

"Has anyone seen a toad? A boy named Neville's lost one," she said.

"No," Ron said.

"Oh are you doing magic? Let's see then," she said.

Ron cleared his throat and pointed his wand at Scabbers, whose head was in a box of Bertie Bott's.

"Sunshine, daisies, butter mellow, turn this stupid, fat rat yellow," Ron said.

I laughed as the spell made the box come off of Scabbers.

"What are you laughing at," Ron asked me.

"I-I haha can't b-be-believe haha you listened to haha Fred and George," I said before bursting out laughing again.

Hermione looked at me oddly.

"Don't even ask if it's a real spell. It's not worth it," I said.

"Well, I've been reading spells since before school and they've worked for me," she said.

She sat right across from Harry. 

"For example," she said pointing her wand at Harry.

I was a bit nervous.

"Oculus Reparo," she said.

The tape on Harry's glasses removed itself and flashed out of sight.

"That's better isn't it," Hermione asked.

Harry removed his glasses to examine them.

"Holy crickets. Your Harry Potter," Hermione said.

Harry put his glasses on.

"I'm Hermione Granger. And you are," Hermione asked looking at Ron and me.

"Lindsay Potter. I'm Harry's twin. It's a pleasure to meet you Hermione," I said.

Hermione was shocked at first but just nodded. She looked at Ron.

"I'm Ron Weasley," Ron said with food in his mouth.

"Pleasure," Hermione said in disgust

Couldn't blame her. 

"You three should change into robes. I expect we'll be arriving soon," Hermione said.

She stood up and went to walk out but then she looked at Ron.

"You've got dirt on your nose. Did you know? Just there," she said pointing to a spot on her nose.

Ron rubbed the dirt off and Hermione left. I made the boys leave the compartment so I could change. Then I switched places with them so they could change. My ring started to glow once I was allowed back in.

"What's that," Harry asked.

I smiled and whispered to my ring. A holographic image of Ginny appeared.

"Canary," she said happily.

"Hi little Robin. Did you need something," I asked.

"No I just wanted to test it," she said.

I could see her fidgeting.

"Ginny is there something you want to ask me," I asked.

"Were Fred and George lying when they said the boy we helped was Harry Potter," Ginny asked.

"No they weren't lying," I said.

Ginny blushed and Ron snickered. I pointed my wand threatening at him and he stopped.

"Ron was laughing wasn't he," Ginny said.

"He's just being a git Robin. Harry Potter is just a normal kid like everyone else," I said.

"Have you met him? Can I see him? Could you tell me about him," Ginny asked.

I saw the embarrassed look on Harry's face.

"Yes I have met him. I'll tell you what I know later and maybe if you can stay calm he'll chat with you when we use our rings. Ok," I asked.

"Ok. I love you Canary," Ginny said.

"I love you too Robin. We'll talk soon," I said.

Ginny nodded. We both kissed our rings and it ended. I glared at Ron.

"You're a right out git to her," I said.

"She's swooning about it cause she fancies your twin. Doesn't that bug you," Ron asked.

"No it doesn't. She can't help it Ron. You need to stop teasing her about it," I said.

Ron grumbled. I looked at Harry.

"Sorry about Ginny. She's a fan like many but we were told your story when we were kids," I said.

"And many variations involving you," Ron said.

"That you and the others enjoyed," I said pointedly.

Ron shut his mouth.

"I don't mind," Harry said.

I smiled and looked out the window. I may not be a Weasley but I definitely feel like I belong.
