The memory she treasures

[Deleted]

We keep this love in a photograph
We made these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts are never broken
And time's forever frozen still

Kings Cross station, thought Thalia with a pleasant smile. September 1st morning might be an ordinary for the muggles, but it was a very special for the wizarding world. The new students get to board the Hogwarts Express for the first time and the returning students waiting eagerly to meet their friends. The station was full of people, parents mothering their children, fathers scolding and giving last minute warnings, students scurrying about trying to get to their places. It was all soo magical, yeah it was indeed magical thought Thalia as she walked her way through the crowd with her mom and dad. While it was unusual for both her parents to come out together much less with her, this day it was an exception. As Thalia was going to start as a first year at Hogwarts. They were very excited and sad at the thought of leaving her. They might have been a little distant from er at times what with their works and all ,but they were still her parents and Thalia herself felt a tear in her eyes. The moment Katie saw it, she pulled her daughter close and said "now now dear, none of that. You are going to start your school, make some new friends and explore Hogwarts". Katie looked over to her husband Oliver Wood, and gave him a pointed look as if urging him to speak. "your mom is right Bri, haven't you always wanted to come here? You can get to see the Great Hall, talk to new people, do magic with your own wand and make new friends here"he said his voice thick with the Scottish accent.

Thalia looked at both her parents and managed to smile a little . She would not admit it, but thought they had their busy lives ,when it came to the time they spent with her, they showered her with love and affection. Nothing less was known to the girl ever since she was born. As she was their only daughter, The Wood family very much loved Thalia. "I am going to miss you both"said little 11 year old Thalia as she hugged her parents. She could hear a camera flash from somewhere to her right, but by now she was accustomed to that. Being born to most famous parents in the wizarding world, leads to unwanted attention. Ever since she was born, both Oliver and Katie tried to make her life as simple as possible without her being dragged into the press. But sometimes, they realize that they can't just hide away their daughter after a few reporters decided to write some comment on her. And from that day, Thalia has been on the papers a few times, and while she would not say it was irritating considering that the press took their pictures when she least expected it, she liked to secretly collected those paper cuttings and pasted them in her book.

Thalia heard the whistle blow from far away, and she looked at her parents. Her father has kept her trunk in one of the empty compartments before along with her owl Diamond. Don't even ask on why she decided to name the owl as such, and it will reduce her parents into mad giggles at the antics of their daughter. "Stay safe my dear girl" said Katie and on her knees she hugged her daughter one more time and kissing on her forehead ad cheeks, she said "I am going to miss you soo much" as she tried not to cry too much. Oliver lifted up his daughter and twirling her around like he does every time. Thalia giggled and in between she spoke "daddy... put me down....mummy tell daddy to put me down ". And he next thing Thalia knew was that her father was wiping tears from his eyes as he said "I'm going to miss you lil pumpkin. Write to me will you?" Thalia nodded eagerly, her black hair bobbing as she said "yes I will write to you. Tonight after I get sorted I will...." but her words were broken by the loud whistle indicating that everyone should aboard the express. Turning ot her mom and dad, she said "bye" and then went on to board the train. Reaching her compartment, she looked out of the window to see that her parents were standing there, her dad waving to her, his eyes shining with pride while her mom was trying to hold it together. Thalia waved to them, and watched on as the train started to move. She waved to them and settled back in her seat wondering when she would reach Hogwarts.
