On the first of September Severus and Harry arrived at Platform 9 3⁄4 with their twins, two large trunks, Henry’s a barn owl called Artie in a cage on his trunk and a black cat called Ebony in a basket carried by Cedar. They went through the Muggle entrance because that was how both Harry and Severus had both started their Hogwarts journeys. They met Morgan and the girls on the platform and the older twins took charge of their younger friends and helped them onto the train and found them a compartment. Harry and Severus waved until the train was gone from their sight before they headed to the Leaky Cauldron for lunch before apparating to their cottage.
