She supposed it didn't matter, in a matter of minutes she could say good bye to all of it, her mother's drama, everything. The only thing she would be sorry to leave behind was her cat Kiko, who was basically her best friend.

"¿Estás seguro de que va a estar bien, mija? Todavía podemos volver atrás, puedo tenerte educado en casa...

"No Spanish mamá," said Natasha to her Mother, "People will think I don't speak any English. And I'll be fine, I promise." Though at times her mother tended to forget Natasha existed, other times she cared about her more than anything. "I'll write all the time, I promise. And there are plenty of people who are in the same situation as me right now. I'll have loads of help."

Her mother looked at her disbelievingly at first, but then gave in to herself and kissed Natasha on the cheek. "Adios, Chacha. Tenga cuidado y buena suerte."

"Gracias, mamá." she said smiling, even though she just asked her mother not to speak any Spanish. "Y gracias Manuel para tu ayuda, tambien."

Manuel nodded not really seeming to be aware of Natasha and put his hands back around her mother's waist. With a slight wave, they left Natasha alone in the compartment.

And Natasha sat down and stared out the window, eager to meet new friends, but too shy to get up and say anything to anyone else...

Selina saw the young girl with her mother. She seemed to be far to excited to go off to Hogwarts to even be listening that intently to what her mother had to say. She giggled at the sight. Most people were acting that way toward their parents.

Her eyes followed the girl go into the compartment. After several minutes Selina realized no one was really talking to the young girl. So she picked herself up and opened the compartment door.

"Hey, I'm Selina. Would you like some company?"
