Sabine Andrews had woken early as she did every September first for the last 16 years. Both her daughters were going to Hogwarts once more, Her eldest, Mildred as a 6th year, and Malla, the youngest, as a 5th. Sabine was going to make breakfast for the girls before she and her husband took them to the platform to see them off.

With breakfast done and on the table , Sabine made her way up the stairs and towards her daughters bedrooms. She knocked on her eldest's room first, knowing of the two, Mildred was easier to wake then Malla. She then went to her younger daughters room and slipped inside. Without hesitation, she pulled the blankets off her daughters bed and left them in a heap on the floor.

"Time to get up Malla. Breakfast is on the table."

Malla groaned and rolled over, pulling her pillow over her head. She knew it was time to get up though, and shortly followed her mother down the hall and towards the kitchen. As her mother had said, breakfast was on the table. Malla took her seat and started to pick at her food.

Mildred had gotten up and sighed. She got up though, and started getting ready for her day. She went down the stairs and sat at the table. "Morning mum, dad, Malla." She said as she sat down. "Thanks for breakfast mum." She started putting the food on her plate. She loved going to Hogwarts. It was one of those places that was like a second home. She couldn't wait to see her friends, especially Lily Evans, her best friend. She looked at Malla, smirking a little. She thought her sis looked a little grumpy. "Malla, cheer up...Hogwarts today." She said.

Once breakfast was over, Mildred finished her packing, and moved her trunk downstairs. "Ready mum." She said. She was already dressed in her school wardrobe. She didn't like changing on the train, and she hadn't done so ever since her first year. It was just easier for her to already be ready to walk into the castle. She went to help Malla with her stuff so they could go.

Malla gave her sister a sharp look. She wasn't someone to be crossed in the morning. The girls mother just chuckled. "Milly, you should know by now that before noon, Malla isn't really *malla*, but the crazed demon that we feed." She took her own plate of food and gestured to the younger daughter to do the same.
"Eat up Malla. You know we're only playing."

"Ggrrmmpphh.." Malla grumbled and took a bite of toast. She just wasn't much of a morning person, and going to Hogwarts wouldn't change that. When Breakfast was over, she dragged herself back upstairs, finished packing and then went to load it up along with her sisters things so they could leave for the train.

"She's a crazed demon at any time of the day mum. Noon doesn't change it, just...takes it down a notch." Mildred said to her mother. She loved teasing her sister, but she also knew that her sister really was aware she was only lovingly playing. Mildred was fiercely protective of her younger sister.

Soon everything was ready and the family took the car to King's Cross. Richard Andrews, Mildred and Malla's father, was a muggle and he loved his car. They arrived and grabbed their things to take to Hogwarts. Mildred went through the wall to platform 9 3/4's first, and looked around there for her friends.

Malla ran through next and went to find a compartment to stash her things in. She found an empty one towards the back of the train and started loading her trunk onto the train when she spotted her cousin with his friends, Namely, Sirius Black. She felt her cheeks warm and her trunk slipped from her grasp and hit the ground, narrowly missing her toes.

Lily spotted Mildred and ran up to her. "Hey Mills." She smirked. "How was your summer? Ready for 6th year?" She asked. Lily was more then ready to go back to school and get away from her sister.

Sirius saw her and walked over to her. He looked her and smiled. "Hello. You alright?" He asked as he helped her by picking up the trunk. He'd thought she was cute for ages, but she was cousin to one of his best mates, and one rule he would abide by was never to mess with your mate's family. He didn't want anything going sour in his friendship with James if something went wrong with any potential relationship with a cousin of James. He smiled. "There you are," He said and moved to rejoin his friends.

"I'm so ready." Mildred said. "Malla's gone to get us a compartment. We'd better find her." She grinned. "Our summer was great. Yours? I can't imagine your sister was making it easy for you though."

Malla's eyes widened when Sirius walked over to her, helping her get her trunk on the train. For a moment, she couldn't even manage a response. "I, yeah i'm alright." She finally said. "Thank you." She waited till he was gone before climbing onto the train. She leaned against the seat and glanced out the window, looking for her sister.

Lily smiled. "Let's go find her then." She started walking along the length of the train, looking for her friends younger sister. "Oh... Petunia was her usual grouchy self all summer." Lily sighed. "Jealous i suppose. She's convinced i'm evil or something." She spotted Malla on the train then. "Here we are. Hey Malla."

Malla saw Lily and Mildred and smiled. "Hey." Her cheeks were still a bit red from her run in with Sirius.
