It was harder for him, she knew, seeing her off that is…she was his flesh and blood.
The look he gave her, she couldn’t help but smile as she thought about their little miracles. It was tough though, really, Sha had been such a blessing with everything over summer. Rhys was going to miss his older sister. “I’m going to owl you every chance I get sweety,” she told her and smiled…it wasn’t long after she had given those parting words that Eliot had pointed Suri out to Sha.
Those two were precious. “Eliot…did you hear from Thunder?” She asked as she craned her neck to see through the crowd of milling people. Where on earth was her little brother? Of course she wanted to show off Rhys and Alis to him as she always wanted to – she also wanted to hear about how he was doing…and well, seeing him bringing a kid here was kind of fun? Considering she never thought he would be one to attach himself to kids, especially with his additional siblings. Quote:

Also her name was Suri Rider-Mae now. Still weird. "Muuuuuuuum, let's go that way, she's not here!" she insisted, bouncy and impatient as she ran across the platform looking for her friend. Her THIRD YEAR friend. In case you didn't know, Suri Rider(-Mae) was very cool, she had OLDER friends. Like Maggie and Dante, who were fifth years. And of course, Hayley and Noel who were going to be SEVENTH YEARS. She glanced around behind her to see Benzi absentmindedly pick at his clothes as he waited for the Diggory's to show up and rolled her eyes. He was so obsessed with Hayley, it was starting to get very annoying. She liked Hayley and all.. but ugh. Seriously. They were literally joined at the hip. Other than his Auror things, she was all he talked about.
Puh-lease.
The twelve year old turned around just in time to see Marsha come RUNNING towards her and SQUEALED, enveloping her in a MAAAAASIVE hug as if she hadn't seen her in months. (It had been three days.) "HI MARSHA!" she laughed into the hug, but very discreetly continued looking around the platform for one blue eyed dark haired boy who was also supposed to show up. Ahem. Because he was also important. Extremely. You know. Her other best friend.
Grinning, Sha couldn’t help but smile at her mum. ”Thank you! Granda likes it when I wear tartan.” She beamed, thinking about Granda Hayden and his love for his country and nationality. ”He says that I’m embracing my Scottish side when I do.” Which always made her feel special, since Gemini and her whole family where her Step-family but they had adopted and taken her as one of their own… Which made her feel special and loved and incredibly thankful to be part of such a large, incredible family. Even if it was hard remembering how everyone was related. ”I’ll write to you as often as I can too! I’m excited to get to take Care of Magical Creatures this year though I’ll miss Chestnut again… It was amazing getting to ride her over the Summer and to help you with the stables.” As much as Marsha loved school, she also loved being at home and getting to help out with her Mum’s business… and her siblings. She was going to miss them more than anything. But she wasn’t going to think about that yet, she was going to find Suri and then she would worry about saying good bye.
Looking up as her Taddy tugged on her hand, she pouted at him. Didn’t he know she was tr- SURI!
Taking off, the red-head flew across the platform before she clung to Suri, arms wrapped around her waist. Laughing happily, she tried to welcome her friend but it came out a muffled, tangled mess due to laughing. When she finally pulled back though, she grinned at the brunette. ”Suri! Hi!” She grinned before looking up at Rachel and waving. ”Hi Mrs Rider-Mae.” HUGE smiles for you, and your hubbbby. She gave Benzi a quick wave before realising that he was too busy searching the platform for someone else that he wasn’t paying her any attention. OH WELL. ”Are you ready? I’m so excited!” The Welsh girl said to Marsha, her attention fully back on her best friend. Though, where WAS Melon? And AJ and Lance and Rusty? Mentally she made a note to try and find them when she was on the train - but if not, then she would find them at the Gryffindor table for the feast. Yes. Plan, sorted. Eliot smiled at the reunion of Marsha and Suri and moved closer to Gemini, his hand resting on her waist as they moved at a much slower pace to join them with the Rider-Mae’s. He noted that Alis was looking curiously at the little one and tried to place how old she was, but unfortunately was drawing a blank. Figuring out children’s ages wasn’t his strongest point. He would ask if Gemini didn’t…
He gave a semi-awkward smile-nod-type greeting thing to both Rachel, Benzi and Bernard though he couldn’t really remember their names and then looked at his tiny little daughter who was looking more and more like his ex-fiance every day. At least those memories didn’t hurt anymore… and he had Gemini and their gorgeous children now… which he wouldn’t have had if life hadn’t turned out the way it did… Everything happened for a reason, unfortunate but true by his thoughts.
When Gemini spoke to him, he tilted his head to the side to look at her better. ”Didn’t he say that he was coming with India and Melbourne when he was visiting over the Summer?” Eliot was pretty sure that was the right name.. Or was it Amy, Melanie? Amelia...? No… Pretty sure it was Melbourne… ”I’m sure he is around here somewhere.” Standing up straight, Eliot began to look through the crowds for his brother-in-law this time. Text Cut: Dia and Melon Quote:

Watching Mel glance around the train station only made her remember her first time here, it was here that she had met her best friend. Thunder was like a brother to her, heck, she was already so grateful to him for everything…helping her find a place that was better for Mel even though Mel preferred living with Finn…which stung a little but she got it.
Mel wasn’t a city girl. She was the girl that wanted to go rock climbing in a dragon reserve, which was probably why she was banned from that dragon reserve come to think of it. “Okay Mel, you need to promise me and Thunder that you’ll be good? Okay, you don’t want to upset Thor now do you?” She asked using the nickname that even Mel had started to use for him. “And please be good, don’t go adventuring and for the love of god avoid the forest” she told her, her tone stricter than it ever had been. Everything about how she looked today was calculated. She knew from talking to Rorie and well to India and Mika too…but mainly from Rorie that people had to change into their uniforms before getting to the school. So, she was going to as well right before the train docked….good idea? Maybe that way she wouldn’t have to do something cray? Maybe she could sneak into the carriages Mika had told her about? The ones face licker Kaiden had said were pulled by winged creepy horses?
“Indiaaaaaaaaaaa come on I’m going to be fine” Mel groaned as her sister told her again to be good and follow the rules and to do all those booooring things. Gosh what was she seven? “I already told you that I won’t walk onto some ship if it appears or taunt spiders or try and climb the luggage racks” she groaned. “but I’m not going to not adventure because if I did that all I would have left is studying and I don’t want to do that” she frowned.
“I want to go on adventures with Ace and Sam and I wanna find out where my new friend Mason is housed…the one from the apothecary” she grinned remembering the conversation with the other girl. She liked her. She was cool. Yeah so she was being a bit uuugh but India was being even more ugh. Seriously. She was going to have as much fun as possible “I promise I’m going to make a point of introducing myself to the prefects” she nodded a little hint of a smirk falling into place…sure, the prefects would be able to help her get that innocent little look she was going for that was why she had brought a few outfits in her bag thanks to India’s shop. Yep. She’d never notice those mannequins were all stark naked until it was too late. Thunder didn’t think that he would be making a trip to Kings Cross on September 1st for a long time yet as he didn’t have any children of his own, but as he had been helping India to raise Melbourne for the last few years… well, he was more attached to the over-confident eleven year old. Silently, he wondered if Hogwarts was ready and if Marsha would be able to keep her out of trouble.. but perhaps that was a big ask of his niece. Smiling at the thought though, he turned back to his best friend and her sister.
The smile on his face widened as he saw Dia fretting over Melon. He moved closer to them, fitting in on the third side to make a triangle between them, their own private little unit. ”Come on Dia, you know that Mel won’t go near the forest. She knows that no amount of adventures are worth the forest.” Looking down at the eleven year old, he searched her face. ”Whatever you promise us, make sure you don’t go into the forest without adult supervision and protection.” But. Thunder was adding and saying nothing about adventuring; he was a writer, he loved adventure. Just not forests where everything could and probably would, try to kill you. ”Marsha will be there to help you too, though you know that as she told you over Summer.”. Thunder laughed, suddenly nervous about leaving Mel on the train while he and Dia stood, left behind on the platform. Hmm, would it feel like this if she was his daughter? Would it be worse? Hmmm… Weird.
