The Magic Train

Kitt had most certainly seen his daughter's clothing, as well as the earring. He did not approve of this, but he knew it was just a ruse. Something else was bothering her, something much bigger than the two of them. "Darling," he said softly, "I do suppose I jumped the gun, but I have spoken with your mother, and this would be an amazing opportunity for you. Just come with me, and I'll show you that it is not all broomsticks and spells. You may still have your Muggle friends, but it is good to have friends who can actually back you up in a fight." He looked her up and down. "You will certainly not be able to wear that clothing while in attendance there. I have tried to be lenient, I have tried to b nice, but I shall now give you my final decision. You ARE going, Marie! I run this household, and I am the one who has made your life as easy as it has been. There is no room for protest, Marie!" He was yelling back at her. "You are damn lucky that I had not treated you like Harry's family did to him, now be grateful for what you are being given!" His eyes were scarlet red in the irises and he had completely lost his temper. He calmed a moment later, sighing. "Just give it a chance, love... You may find you enjoy it. It'll be just like it is here, with grand meals every night. And if you get lonely, just send me a letter through the owl post. If you don't choose an owl for your pet, Hogwarts has some you may use." He smiled, though it was strained because he had been angry just moments before. "Sweetheart, I am only thinking of what is best for you." He held his arms out, hoping his little girl would huddle into them.

Kitt sighed, his eye color returning to normal. "What happened to my baby girl who hung off Daddy and always loved him, no matter what? This is not you, Marie. Please, please just give it a chance. Surely by Christmas you will love it. Perhaps you shall even find some good friends. I just want you to be able to protect yourself." He paid no mind to her eyes, only replying, “It’s because you are born of two vampires, love. I wasn’t always a creature of the night, you know. I was just like you at one point. But even humans can possess magic, like Hermione Granger. She’s a Muggle-born.” He sighed and went out into the hall, to find Luna. "Darling," he said softly, "she is not yielding. I do not know what to do. Shall I call Harry and see if he can come around through the Floo Network?" He pinched the bridge of his nose, sighing. He loved his daughter, and he wanted her to see that it wasn`t so bad.

Kitt growled softly, watching her walk to theat stupid tree. Oh, once she was off in Scotland, he'd chop the stupid overgrown twig down. He sighed when his wife rubbed his leg and sat down. "I know, love. I just want her to learn something worthwhile. Whst if there are dementor attacks here one day? It'll take more than four people to fend them off, I am sure of it. I want her to learn self defense and anything else she can, and I am trying my hardest to convince her that it is good. I went there, and now I am the head of a council, and quite affluent." Another sigh, and he took her hand. "I will call him then, love. Can you tend to our little firecracker?" he kissed her forehead and picked up the phone, calling Harry.

An hour later, Harry, and Ron were sitting in the parlor with their old friend. Hermione was running late, as Ron had said. Kitt smiled, stirring his tea. "I am not sure what to do," he said. "Why not give Molly Weasley a ring?" Kitt looked at him and smiled. "You're right, Ron's mum would be able to help." He made another phone call, and Molly weasley was soonn standing in the parlor with them.

((I tried XD))

kitt looked at his wife and sighed. "Thank you very much, love."

Molly Weasley looked at the couple with confusion. "Little Firecracker?" she asked. Harry looked at the bold-haired woman and replied "Their daughter, Marie. We came here to tell her how wonderful it is at Hogwarts. She's apparently not listening to Kitt." When the door slammed, Kitt sighed. Mrs. Weasley looked at him and said, "I will go talk to her. No doubt she's expecting you, but she won't expect me." The plump woman then walked off in the direction of where she heard the slam come from and was soon standing near Marie. "Hello, my dear. Might you be young Miss Marie? I am Molly Weasley."

Mrs Weasley sighed. "No problem, child. Now, I hear that you're giving your dad problems? I'll have you know that I have seven children, six who are alive today, and I do not tolerate snippy, childish behaviour. I also do not tolerate children being know-it -alls." It was obvious that Mrs Weasley was upset, or should have been obvious.

In the parlor, Kitt was getting up to get some drinks, and Harry stood at the same time, offering to get it himself. As he walked into the kkitchen, he saw Marie speaking with Mrs Weasley. "My apologies. I didnèt mean to intrude on your conversation."

Mrs. Weasley beamed and said "That's alright, Harry, dear. Have you met Marie?"

Harry shook his head. "Not formally, but I hear I'm some sort of n icon in this household. Please to make your acquaintance, Marie." He smiled softly and watched the two women.

((Unless one other than Fred died that I am unaware of, then it`s six children, I believe XD))

Mrs. Weasley stared daggers at Marie for a second or two, until the girl broke their stare and looked at Harry. The young man looked at the oleder adult and asked "Would you mind giving us a moment, Mrs, Weasley?" to which her response was a shake of the head and a "Not at all, dears." She was also responding to Marie's question, and smiled at the pair before leaving.

Harry looked at Marie and smiled. "So your father tells me you're more than a bit upset with him for wanting the best for you. Look at it this way. If there was a bombing at your school, the one you're at now, would anyone survive?" He paused so she could answer, and once she did, he said, "It would honestly be safer for you at Hogwarts. All any muggles would see is a decrepit and supposedly dangerous old building. I understand that you love your parents, Marie, but sometimes it can be good to get away from them for a while. I never knew my parents, and I heard mixed descriptions about them, but I loved them nonetheless. And you won't have any shortage of people to make friends with, that's for sure. And if you ever need advice, you can contact the Weasleys or Ron, Hermione and myself." Harry smiled, watching the girl with his soft green eyes.

Ron looked at Luna softly. "Mostly my job in the Ministry, but I do take the kids out to Diagon Alley now and again. You remember Rose and Hugo, right, Kitt?"

Kitt nodded. "Your children are delightful, as well as Harry's" he responded before kissing his wife's temple.

((Well, there we go, one thing is canon at least - Harry's eyes XD))

Harry sighed, putting a hand on her shoulder. "So what if you're in Slytherin? Not everyone from there was bad. My friend Draco Malfoy was a bit of a jerk at first, but he redeemed himself, especially to me. I don't think people are evil if they get put in Slytherin house. Most Slytherins are of the belief that pureblood supremacy is important. Yet there have been some half-bloods in Slytherin. Take, for example, the Potions master during most of my time at Hogwarts, Severus Snape. He was a half-blood, and a Slytherin." He smiled at the girl. "Your dad, however, was in Ravenclaw house. Your uncle was too, from what I know. They're the brainy ones. As for failing him, I am sure that will not happen. He will love you no matter where you are put, although the Montgomery family have generally been in Ravenclaw. Your father said that to me when we first started at Hogwarts all those years ago." He grinned at the girl, hoping to have calmed her nerves

Ron smiled. "Rose is 11, and Hugo is 9 right now. They are the light of my life, as well as Hermione's."

Harry sighed, smiling. "Well, it won't be that long before term starts. I can help you prepare for it, whatever happens. And if you ever need anything you can always send me a letter by owl. The school provides them for those that don't end up getting them for their pet." His smile widened a bit. "I do pop by for lectures in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class sometimes, so you may see me roaming the halls periodically. And if you ever need advice, I will definitely impart some to you. Like watching out for the stairs. They could lead you astray." He sipped his drink and chuckled. "It's alright. Vitamin C is good for a person's health, wizard or not." He then looked at her with a confused expression. "What do you mean, noticed something?" Her concerns of being in Ravenclaw or not made Harry look at her with sympathy. "You know, the Sorting Hat is very generous. You could always try to sway him. I certainly did. I asked not to be put in Slytherin and I was put in Gryffindor because I was brave enough to ask for a change. You could ask to be put in Ravenclaw, however, if that is what you want. I know you are smart, Marie. Kitt often tells me of things you do that completely catch him off guard or outwit him." He put a hand softly on her shoulder. "So, do you think you'll change your mind and go? At least give it a shot? If you need help, and cannot reach me, the faculty are more than willing to help, especially the Ravenclaw Head of House, Professor Flitwick." His grin stayed on his face as he spoke.

Ron smiled. "Hugo is starting his first year, I believe, and his sister is starting her second year alongside your nephew Xavier."

All of a sudden, a green flash came from the fireplace as a certain brunette woman came through the Floo Network. Terribly sorry. I didn't think I would be running late." She smiled at the assembled crowd.

(()opefully that's everything XD))

Harry smiled, letting the hug happen and even hugging back. Until she pulled away, that is. "It's alright, Marie. As for letting people know your Dad and I are friends, you can do it if you want. Although being a ninja would be interesting." Her questions about what she could have for pets and wands made him chuckle. "Students of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry are allowed either cats, rats, or toads. Some families do have owls, though, and as such, students are allowed them as well. I had a snowy owl named Hedwig, but she was killed while protecting me from harm." a spark of fondness glimmered in his eye for a brief moment before he concentrated on answering her next query. "Wands generally choose the person theyère controlled by. My very first want was made of holly wood, was 11 inches long and had a phoenix feather core. It was the link between me and my rival, Voldemort." At her apology he smiled. "That's quite alright. I am able to keep up."

Ron smiled, and Hermione nodded. "Rose plans to be the best in her class, just like me. I am sure she can do it."
