Despite being somewhat excited about coming here, the boy was running a little late. There were a number of reasons why, with the top one being a debate with his Dad on whether he should take mac and cheese for the blonde. He wouldn't need it, right? Probably had some sort of lunch packed, or would get lots of sweets from the train, yeah? ... Shrug.
But he was here. King's Cross. And it was only as he was rushing into the busy station that he realised how... weird this was. No Hogwarts. And in its place, there would be other things like driving lessons, paying rent and, of course, Quidditch. It was just weird, yeah? Frowning to himself, the nearly nineteen year old stood off to one side of entrance. Where had he said he'd meet--
TAG!
... Must let a group of Muggles go by first...
... and then he headed over towards the Gryffindor. "Hey, Mr Seventh Year," he said, reaching over and ruffling the leprechaun's hair, "Think you're ready?"
Waiting waiting waiting. OH, look at the time. Why was the Hogwarts train scheduled to leave so early? Like, can't the kids stay in for sleep some more hours? Thank you, irish man would appreciate it. Tag yawned a bit as he saw people passing by, so many. Would he perhaps catch a glimpse of another Hogwarts student making their way through?
AH! There he was. Ok. Yes. Hair ruffles were in order. Alec would probably miss doing that for the next couple of months.... Anyway. There he was, finally. "
Thought you were going to be late." Tag said smiling a bit. No proper send off from his best friend.
He wasn't a seventh year.
"
Not a seventh year." Nods. "
Just a really old student going to school. Graduating." That was the proper term Alec had been looking for. But, now to be sirius. "
Yeah. I suppose. Kinda crept up on us, don't you think?" For both of them. Graduating. Or at least in Tag's case almost. They'd met six years ago
at the duck pond.
That's what Alec meant by 'ready', right? About Hogwarts? Not actually getting onto the train. And Mr. Seventh year? "
What happened to being your Sweetcheeks?" Tag much preferred that nickname than Mr. Seventh Year.
