Eye Of The Basilisk

Chapter 2: Welcome Home, Kamaria

King's Cross Station

The day has finally arrived for Draco and Kamaria to start Hogwarts, with Lucius and Narcissa seeing them off.

"Now, Kimmy, I want you and Draco to write to us as soon as you are settled in your dormitories. Draco, look after your sister and keep her safe; you understand? Just remember that we will always love you no matter what house you're Sorted into. Okay?" Narcissa asked, looking at her son and goddaughter.

They nodded in agreement, hugged the adults, and then boarded the train; the two of them waving at them as the train pulled away from the station.

After walking for a few minutes, the duo found a compartment with two girls in it; one had blonde hair and light blue eyes and the other had white hair and blue eyes and a bird resting in her lap.

"Mind if we sit here?" Draco asked after knocking on the door. The blonde girl nodded in acceptance and let the two godsiblings take a seat.

Soon enough, introductions were underway.  "I'm Kamaria Riddle-Prince. Who are you?" she asked, looking at the girl with white hair.

The girl shyly tucked a strand of hair behind her ear before answering, "My name is Lisanna. Lisanna Greenfield-Strauss and this is my familiar, Maira. She's a peregrine falcon.".

Suddenly, a redhead boy with freckles and a bushy-haired girl barged into their compartment without knocking.

"Is Harri Potter here? Dumbledore said that I'm her best mate; so, where is she?!" the boy demanded.

Lisanna took one look at them and immediately decided that they were trouble.

"I don't recall either of us inviting you into our compartment as you forced your way in, quite rudely at that, and demanded the presence of someone who doesn't even know you! Leave please, before I call for a prefect," Daphne demanded, glaring at the duo coldly, who returned the glare before exiting the compartment.

Kamaria looked at Daphne with gratitude, who nodded in response.

Before long, the train pulled into Hogsmeade station. The quartet were already dressed in their robes, so they headed down to the boats where Hagrid was instructing the students four to a boat.

When all the boats were boarded, the troop set sail across the black lake and before long, the majestic sight of Hogwarts Castle greeted them.

Once all the students arrived at the castle, a witch wearing tartan robes and her hair pulled into a severe bun was waiting for them.

"The firs' years, Pr'fessor McGonagall," said Hagrid and left once he was dismissed.

Prof. McGonagall led the students to two large doors and told them to wait for her here. Once she was gone, Kamaria asked Draco, "What if Mummy doesn't recognize me once my name is called?".

Draco placed his hands on the young witch's shoulders and told her that her mum will recognize her because ever since her kidnapping, he wore a locket that contained two pictures; one of her as a baby and one with her and her parents.

Before long, the students were in a grand hall with candles floating around. At the front of the hall, was a three-legged stool that had a ragged old hat on it.
