The Hogwarts Express whistled through the countryside, crimson engine glinting under the afternoon sun. Inside one of the train's compartments, Roy, Hermione, Cassandra Vole, Daphne Greengrass, Penelope Clearwater, and Cho Chang sat together, chatting and laughing freely for the first time in months.
Hermione rested her cheek in her hand, eyes bright as she listened to Cassandra and Daphne bicker playfully over who got the harder Potions exam. Penelope smiled quietly, occasionally adding a witty remark, while Cho giggled softly, the atmosphere warm and untroubled.
Just then, there was a knock at the door.
When Roy slid it open, the Weasley twins, Fred and George, stood there — grinning ear to ear — with Cedric Diggory beside them.
"Mind if we join, Lord Shura?" Fred teased with an exaggerated bow."Our humble minds seek your divine wisdom," George added dramatically.
Roy chuckled, shaking his head. "Come in, you idiots."
With a casual snap of his fingers, a soft golden ripple passed through the air — a Traceless Expansion Charm. The compartment stretched subtly, becoming wider and more comfortable, the seats lengthening as if by magic.
"Still showing off," Cedric muttered with a grin as he sat down beside Cho."And yet," Fred whispered to George, "I can't help but love it."
Laughter filled the air again. They shared sweets from the trolley, exchanged stories from the Quidditch field, and talked about their plans for the summer. For a few hours, the world beyond the train didn't matter — they were simply friends enjoying the end of a long, eventful year.
⚓ Arrival at King's Cross
When the train finally hissed to a stop at King's Cross Station, the group gathered their trunks and stepped out onto the busy platform, greeted by parents, siblings, and the smell of the city.
Roy, immaculate as ever, greeted each family with his usual calm courtesy.
He first approached Daphne's mother, the elegant Lady Greengrass, and her younger daughter Astoria — whose eyes sparkled with gratitude.
"Lady Greengrass, Miss Astoria," Roy said politely."Roy," Lady Greengrass smiled warmly. "Thank you again for what you did for Astoria. We'll never forget it.""I only did what anyone would," he replied modestly.
Astoria blushed slightly, clutching the letter Roy had sent her a week before.
Then came Cassandra's mother, dignified and sharp-eyed, who nodded approvingly.
"You've made quite the impression, young man."
Roy merely smiled. "I try my best, ma'am."
He next greeted Madam Chang, who was delighted to meet her daughter's "most talked-about classmate." Cho, pink-cheeked, tried not to meet Roy's amused gaze.
When Hermione's parents arrived, Roy bowed slightly in greeting.
"It's a pleasure to meet you both. Hermione speaks very highly of you."Mr. Granger chuckled. "You must be the boy who reads faster than our daughter. Didn't think it was possible."
Roy grinned. "Only on good days, sir."
🧡 The Weasley Encounter
Not far from them, a familiar voice called out,
"Roy! Over here!"
It was Molly Weasley, bustling through the crowd, surrounded by her brood — Fred, George, Percy, Ron, and a young girl clutching her father's arm.
Roy smiled warmly. "Mrs. Weasley. A pleasure to finally meet you."
Fred and George immediately threw their arms around Roy's shoulders.
"Mum, this is the one I told you about — the Lord Shura himself!""He makes Quidditch look easy and pranks look noble," George added.
Molly laughed. "Oh, stop that nonsense. It's good to meet you, dear. You've been a wonderful influence on my boys… I think."
Then Roy's gaze fell to the youngest of them — a shy red-haired girl hiding slightly behind her mother's skirt.
"And who's this?""This is Ginny, my youngest," Molly said proudly. "She couldn't wait to meet Harry Potter."
Ginny peeked up — but instead of looking for Harry, her eyes locked onto Roy.
Silver hair that glimmered under the light, eyes the color of sapphires. He smiled kindly, and Ginny instantly turned scarlet, her words catching in her throat.
"H-hello…" she stammered.
Roy smiled softly. "Nice to meet you, Ginny."
Fred and George exchanged wicked grins behind her. "Looks like someone's fallen for the silver fox," George whispered.
Roy ignored them, much to Ginny's relief.
💠 The Twin Maids
Just as they finished their farewells, two figures stepped from behind a pillar — identical girls with pastel-blue and pink hair, wearing crisp maid uniforms.
"Master," they said in perfect unison, bowing gracefully. "We've prepared the carriage."
The platform went silent for a moment.
Hermione blinked. "Wait… who are they?"
Roy smiled. "Allow me to introduce Rem and Ram — my personal attendants."
He turned toward the gathered families.
"Mrs. Weasley, Miss Greengrass, Mrs. Vole, Madam Chang, Mr. and Mrs. Granger — these are Rem and Ram."
The two maids curtsied perfectly.
"It's a pleasure to meet Master's friends," Rem said softly."You're all rather lovely," Ram added with a teasing smile.
The girls around Roy — Hermione, Cassandra, Daphne, Penelope, Cho, and even Astoria — felt a collective pang of jealousy. The twins were adorable, graceful, and alarmingly close to Roy.
Even Molly Weasley was taken aback. "My word, they're… precious."
Meanwhile, Ron and Percy could only stare.
"He has maids?" Ron muttered."And twins, at that…" Percy sighed, adjusting his glasses. "Unbelievable."
💫 A New Beginning
After a few more exchanges and goodbyes, Roy nodded to everyone, smiling warmly.
"I'll see you all next term. Try not to get into trouble."
"Not a chance," Fred and George said in unison.
Hermione waved, a soft smile on her face. "Have a good summer, Roy."
"You too, Hermione."
With that, Roy turned and left the platform, Rem and Ram following gracefully behind him, their steps perfectly synchronized.
Meanwhile, Percy Weasley — who had spent the year hopelessly pining for Penelope Clearwater — finally admitted defeat after realizing her heart wasn't his to win.
That summer, during a Ministry internship, he met Clara Fairborne, a sharp-minded Gryffindor alumna who matched his ambition and intellect. The two bonded instantly over policy debates and magical theory — and to everyone's surprise, Percy was happy.
For once, everything seemed calm.
And as the sun dipped below the horizon, Roy's carriage rolled away from the station — the first year at Hogwarts finally over, but the legend of Lord Shura only beginning.
