Chapter Text
Pulling his trunk behind him, Steven George 'Stevie' Gerrard grunted and swore in Scouse as he dropped it on his foot "just say you need a hand, Stevie" an amused Scouse-Irish accent said "piss off, Carra" Jamelia 'Jamie' Lee Duncan Carragher rolled her eyes "Mickey, grab one end, I'll get the other" another boy with soft brown hair grabbed his side of Steven's trunk while Jamie grabbed the other, both easily heaved Steven's trunk onto the rack above his head "thanks..." "Stevie, just ask for help, will you?" Michael shook his head "well...didn't realize Hogwarts accepted Scouse Scum" a snide Mancunian accent said "who the fuck're ye?" Jamie's accent came out more Irish when she got annoyed "back of, Gaz. Hillsborough weren't their fault" a boy with sandy blonde hair stood beside him in the Hogwarts uniform with blue and bronze on his sweater and a blue and bronze tie "sorry about him, I'm Phil Neville, you just met me older brother Gary" Phil gave a look at his brother "I'm Steven, that's Jamie and Michael" Jamie stuck her middle finger up at Gary for what he said about her Scouse heritage.
"Yeah, you'd think with him being fifteen he'd think before he spoke" Phil rolled his eyes "what house ye in, Neville?" Jamie snarked "I'm Slytherin, Phil's Ravenclaw" "having a party without us, I'm hurt" a ginger boy smirked "piss off, Scholesey" Gary said "hey, guess who made Giggs Head Boy this year?" Gary and Phil looked at each other and shrugged "not like Gary'll listen to him" Phil said "who're the kiddies?" "Steven, Jamie and Michael. They're from Liverpool" the ginger boy nodded "name's Paul Scholes" as Paul said his name, Steven looked away and out the window so none of his friends could see his tears "it's a little hard for Steven, Paul. His cousin had your name in his before he was killed two years ago" Michael explained "Jon-Paul Gilhooley" Steven mumbled, trying to keep his tears from falling.
"He'll always be with you, Steven" Phil assured, smiling at the younger boy as their other two friends joined them "that's David and Ryan, Ryan's head boy now" the strangest friendship between six Mancunian boys and three Scouse kids began that journey to Hogwarts. But there were rumours of the Potter twins beginning Hogwarts as well, but not many really liked Harry Potter as his fame as the 'Boy Who Lived' had gone to his head unlike his twin sister, Hannah. Hannah was a sweet, kind-hearted girl with red hair and soft blue eyes, many saw Lily's reflection with James's eyes and personality, a girl with red hair appeared in the doorway with another who had bushy brunette hair "you don't mind, do you? Hannah can't be near her brother" the brunette said, Ryan nodded as he looked concerned for the young redheaded girl "what're your names?" Gary asked "I'm Hermione Granger, that's Hannah Potter" Hermione was quite talkative, but Nicky was similar to her in a way "Hannah, what house are you going to be in?" Michael asked "I-I dunno, hopefully not Harry's" Gary's heart broke. How could a sibling treat their sibling like that? Even the Gallagher brothers gave the some respect and they fought like Tom and Jerry, but he couldn't see Gary treating Phil like that.
Arriving at Hogsmede station, the six Manchester lads went to the carriages whereas Jamie, Steven, Michael, Hermione and Hannah went to the boats to cross the lake "what house you going to, Hannah?" Jamie asked "I'm not sure, hopefully away from my asshole brother" Hannah then saw the boots Jamie was wearing "you play football?" Jamie nodded "aye, for Liverpool Academy. These two do as well" she made a thumb gesture at the two boys
