New start
1rst September, King's Cross, London
@Lili Cooper
The day has come. Today he beggins a new life, at a new school, to study magic. What he was meant to do according to his parents. It wasn't really a problem for him. He knew magic since he was born, he was raised in it. And he was also used to boarding school unlike most of his futures classmates. But that wasn't his problem after all. No, his problem was that from what he knew, most people got actually pretty close in this school, considering the different Houses as their second family. But how was he supposed to have a second family if he couldn't get a first ? After all, his family was a family only on the paper. The last time he saw his parents was on Christmas last year. He saw them only 3 or 4 times a year. He was a bit closer to his brother and sister, especially his sister but it wasn't a functionning family. And today was again the perfect exemple.
A week ago, he received a letter from his parents. They wanted to be sure that he had everything he needed to go to Hagwarts. And also to warn him about his behaviour and his grades. Nothing new anyway. They also told him a bit about getting to the train. Crossing the wall between the platform 9 and 10. Nothing more. After all, his caretaker was supposed to take him and his brother to the train, while his sister will stay at home, waiting. But this morning, Carry was sick, she had quite a lot of fever. So the caretaker will stay with her, and she told his brother to take him to the station. But he didn't really get along with his brother...So as soon as they arrived to King's Cross, Diogène dissapeared in the crowd, leaving him all alone. He wasn't lost. He easily find the platform 9 and 10. But there were several walls between the two platforms and he didn't know which one to use. He waited a bit, in case someone else will cross the wall but he didn't see anything. Maybe because it was a bit early...
But finally, he recognized someone in the middle of the crowd. He took a second to remember their names. The Cooper family. Amanda and Charles. Three children : Blair, Dylan and the youngest Lili. An English family, pure-blood. He saw them a few times when his parents gathered some of the pure-blood families from their original country. He walk toward them, rolling his trunk behind him. He smiled, not a smile full of joy like most kids, just a polite smile, like his parents told him to do when he talked to adults

-Good morning Mr and Mrs Cooper. I hope I am not interrupting anything ang that you are all well
He bowed slightly greeting them. After that, he turned to face Blair, Dylan and Lili and smiled to them, probably a bit more sincere, especially to Lili since she had his age.
-Hello 
He finally reports his attention to the parents
-Do you mind if I come with you to the platform 93/4 ?
He didn't wanted to say that he was lost and couldn't find the way on his own, it would have been just ridiculous. At least, he was lucky to have find them but still. He hopped that they will say yes.
