I do not own anything except the characters I created and the storyline. JK Rowling is the genius who started it all.
Please take the time to review. Reviews are greatly appreciated.
Chapter Twenty-One
Noah Potter walked into a compartment on the Hogwarts Express. He placed his trunk on a shelf and sat down. Only a couple more months and school was over. As he waited for Will to arrive, he thought about the news his parents told him before he boarded the train.
"Well, only a few more months," stated Harry.
"Yup."
"And then you graduate," he finished.
"Yes, I do," replied Noah.
"Then you'll be off to who knows where," added Hermione.
"I won't be that far away, Mum."
"Good, because you have a little brother or sister to be protective of," she said.
"What?" asked Noah.
"Your father and I are having a baby."
Noah grinned and hugged both his parents. "When did you guys find out?"
"Yesterday," answered Harry.
"And you wait until I leave to tell me." Noah shook his head. "When do you find out if it's a boy or girl?"
"We want it to be a surprise, sweetie," exclaimed Hermione.
"Wow, another Potter."
"Look out," joked Harry.
"Have you told James?" asked Noah.
"Not yet, but we will," replied Harry.
"You better get going, Noah. It's almost time for the train to leave," informed Hermione.
"Right, Congratulations. I love you guys," he said as he hugged them goodbye.

The compartment door opened and Hailey strode in.
"Hey," she said.
"Hi."
"Will should be coming soon. He's looking for Leah."
"Oh ok."
Hailey attempted to lift her trunk on the shelf. Noah quickly stood up and helped her with it.
"Thanks," she said.
"No problem."
He sat back down. "Did you enjoy the rest of your break?"
"It was okay. Did you?"
"I guess."
"We really didn't get a chance to talk after Christmas," she stated.
"Some things came up."
"Like April?"
"What about April?"
"I heard you spent the night with her."
"What if I did? You said you didn't want to be with me, remember?"
"Noah.."
"Look Hails," he interrupted. "Nothing happened with April. She kissed me, but that's it. That night all we did was talk and eventually we fell asleep."
"Oh," she stated even though she was secretly thrilled. "I still want to talk."
"I get it, you know. I understand you're confused."
"Yes, I'm confused. I have very strong feelings for you, Noah and that questions everything I've ever believed to be true."
"You mean everything you believed about you and James?"
"Yes. He's very important to me. What he and I have is more than friendship. We understand each other in a way that is hard to explain."
"Well, how is a guy supposed to compete with that," he said sarcastically.
"I don't want you to compete with anything."
"Than what do you want me to do."
"I want.."
"Hey guys," interrupted Will as he barged into the compartment followed by Leah.
"Hey," replied Noah.
"What are you two up to?" asked Leah.
"Just talking," replied Noah.
"So are you two together yet?" she asked.
"Ask Hails," he said as he stood up. "I'll be back."
"Where are you going?" questioned Will.
"For a walk."

Noah kept walking past compartments until he spotted who he was looking for. He knocked on the compartment door. The girl inside looked up from the book she was reading and smiled at him. Noah opened the door.
"How was your break?" he asked as he stepped inside.
"It was good," replied Emma Jordan. "How was yours?"
"Dramatic."
"Uh oh, I take it things didn't go so well."
"Not exactly."
"What happened?" she asked.
"I don't want to talk about it."
"Well, then I will tell you about the guy I met."
"Guy? What guy?"
"My boyfriend."
"You have a boyfriend?"
"Yes."
"Is he a muggle?"
"Yes."
Noah laughed.
"What's so funny?"
"I can just imagine you telling him that you go to an all girl's school and that you aren't allowed to talk to people outside of the school."
"I couldn't tell him I was a witch."
"And not talking to him for months isn't going to seem a little suspicious."
"I'll be sending my parents letters to give him."
"Well, what's this guy like? He can't nearly be as good-looking as I am."
Emma rolled her eyes. "Get over yourself."
He grinned. "Tell me about him."
"No, you'll just make jokes."
"That's probably true."
"Okay, so I'm dying to know what happened with you and Hailey."
"Basically, girl wants to be with boy, but girl finds out the ex wants her back and changes her mind. Then the ex punches the brother for falling for said girl. Brother forgives brother. Girl remains confused and undecided."
"Wow."
"That's the short version."
"James punched you!"
"After all that, the only thing that stuck was me getting hit."
"That's the best part. Where'd he hit you?"
"What does it matter?"
"I'm picturing it in my head. So tell me."
"In the face."
"I knew it. At least you don't have big black eye."
Noah shook his head. "You wish I did, don't you."
"Battle scar," she replied. "It makes you seem tougher. Shows you can take a hit for the woman you love."
"I guess."
"Things will work out for you, Noah. By the end of the year, you'll see the big picture."
"Which reminds me, I owe you a flying lesson."
"Oh no."
"Oh yes, be prepared."
"Prepared for what?"
"For the lesson."
"When is it?"
"That's the surprise. It can be at anytime."
"Anytime. Noah, I might be doing something."
"You'll just have to cancel it."
"I have to drop everything for you."
"No, for your lesson."
"I think we should plan this."
"Nope, I got to get going."
"Noah, we should talk about this."
"We already have, Em."
"No, I'm not agreeing to this. I want to know when we're going to do it."
"Uh huh, see you later."
"Noah!" she yelled as he left the compartment.
