In the grand Lionhardt Mansion, Lucien had just finished placing his luggage into his personal portable dimension, along with Dragonite and Darkrai, both of whom could stay there safely with him. On his shoulder, his Alola Vulpix nuzzled against his cheek, brushing her soft fur against him. Lucien chuckled softly and petted her, feeling a sense of peace.
"Alright, time to go," Lucien murmured to himself.
Soon, Akeno, Angelina, and Penelope arrived at the mansion with their own luggage. Lucien calmly stored their belongings in the dimension as well, explaining, "You all have permission to enter whenever you want, but the rest will stay safe here."
Once inside, Lucien took a moment to hug his "girls"—Venelana, Claire, Grayfia, Gamma, Yasaka, Bayonetta, Nagini, and Sylpha—their bonds growing stronger every day.
After warm farewells, he led Akeno, Angelina, and Penelope to King's Cross Station. The moment they appeared, the crowd around them froze in awe. The women gasped at Lucien's stunning appearance, while men stared, captivated by Penelope, Angelina, and Akeno.
Lucien, ever confident, noticed the stares and simply glared at the boys. Their faces went pale, and within seconds, they scurried away, hearts racing from fear.
The Platform Encounter
Navigating the crowd, they finally reached Platform 9¾, where Lucien spotted two blonde girls about his age who looked confused.
"Need help?" Lucien asked, his tone polite but commanding.
The girls blushed instantly at the sight of him. "Y-Yes… we're trying to find Platform 9¾," one stammered.
Lucien pointed them in the right direction. "Follow us, I'll take you there."
On the train, introductions began. The girls introduced themselves as Cassandra Vole and Daphne Greengrass. Penelope and Angelina politely introduced themselves, with Akeno adding, "I'm Akeno Lionhardt." Finally, Lucien spoke, "I am Lucien Aurelius Peverell Lionhardt."
The train compartment fell silent for a moment. Cassandra and Daphne's eyes widened.
"Wait… your relation to Harry Potter?" Daphne asked breathlessly.
Lucien nodded casually. "He's my twin brother."
Cassandra and Daphne blushed furiously, hearts racing. Both families—Greengrass and Vole—had longstanding marriage contracts in the wizarding world. In their minds, they could already imagine becoming Lucien's future wives.
The group laughed and began chatting. Lucien cracked a few witty jokes, lightening the atmosphere. Angelina and Penelope eagerly shared gossip from Hogwarts, while Akeno stayed close to Lucien, listening and smiling.
Lucien's Observations
As they talked, Lucien silently observed the two new faces. Daphne Greengrass had an appearance reminiscent of Astoria Pendragon Lancer from Fate anime—elegant, poised, yet with an air of youthful mischief. Cassandra Vole reminded him of Erina Nakiri from Food Wars anime, regal yet slightly tsundere.
Lucien signed mentally, approving of their potential—and inwardly noted that the Hogwarts years ahead would be anything but ordinary with such company.
