Asher rushed on ahead of the group of people that he was with after he walked through the wall into the platform with his trunk, owl Avis, cat Merlin , and pygmy puff Cormac. He couldn't wait to get to hogwarts. Caroline had told him that they have a hidden swiming pool. He was going to find it with the help of Anya Phillips of course. And maybe that Alec guy he seem cool.

He had to find his friends that he had made over the summer. And what a great summer it had been. So many fun times. Hope fully many more ahead. They had to ride in the same compartment for their first train ride to Hogwarts. He had exploding snap in his pocket so he could so them how to play.


Caroline walked through the other side of the barrier. Merlin where did that little boy get to? She had seen him run into the wall but after that he was gone.

Ah there.

"Asher! Wait for us." She shouted over the noise of the others and the train.

It was hard for her to believe that a few months ago she was getting off the Hogwarts express for the last time. All of the excitement of remembering her first ride on the Hogwarts express made her miss the fact that she would be getting on it the time.

Caroline glanced around for any of her younger friends at Hogwarts. Their may even be some that were with their younger siblings.

Then the scarlet train caught her eye...... could she just sneak on board and go back one more term she wouldn't even mind being there with Asher.

Marshall could hardly believe that his son was getting ready to go on his first ride on the Hogwarts Express and go to Hogwarts. His daughter Caroline had just finished Hogwarts last term. He had just been here a few months ago to pick Caroline up for the last time.

He was very proud of his daughter. She was becoming a great healer. Tutshill was a lucky team to have her as their Healer.

"It's alright, Carly. He won't get on the train with saying bye to us." Marshall chuckled and put his arm around his daughter and walked with her across the platform.

He himself was thinking about his first time on the Hogwarts Express. Looking back now. He realized just how much his son was like him. He smiled as he watched his son rush ahead looking for someone apparently. He had no idea what adventures laid ahead of him over the next seven years.

He was sure going to miss his son. But it was time for him to go and learn all the things he needed to know.
