"It's weird, I thought they would have put me in Slytherin, because of my Pureblood status. Especially since my family thinks so highly of it, Father especially. Oh well, I'm sure I'll fit in somehow... It's a pity we couldn't be in the same house, it would have been nice to have a friend to sit with."
Smiling, Willow hoped Cael didn't mind her calling him a friend, after all, she did feel comfortable around him, even after falling asleep for most of the trip! He seemed to have a calming effect on her and, well, she kinda liked that. Absent-mindly she sat down next to him and started stroking Jupiter.
"I wonder how long until we arrive?"

Cael had just finished changing into his Ravenclaw robes when he heard a slight rustling accompanied by a quiet yawn. Good, Willow was finally waking up, not that he could blame her in the slightest. After all, he himself had napped a bit earlier. It must've had something to do with the gentle rocking motion the Hogwarts Express produced as it sped toward their destination. It was positively irresistible!

"I'm not exactly sure when we'll arrive, but it seemed best to be prepared so I went ahead and changed," Cael shrugged as he tucked his other robes into the Ever-Expanding trunk his guardians had gifted him with. Cael's eyes widened in alarm as he saw Willow get the kind of look in her eye that spelled trouble for men and boys everywhere: the kind of doe-eyed, I'm-about-to-cry-but-am-holding-it-together look. He hurried to reassure her whilst tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "Not much," he admitted softly, "A friend of mine, Faina Malfoy, dropped by for a bit and introduced me to one of her friends. Of course, we did only just meet on the platform a bit earlier, but I haven't really met many other people."

"Ah, I'm a Pureblood as well. I must admit that I thought I'd have fit in better with the house of snakes myself, especially with what I'm trying to accomplish," Cael heaved a deep sigh, suddenly feeling a hundred years older. He hadn't told anyone yet about his past. Maybe it was time to finally confide in another? "Willow," he started with what he hoped was a firm voice, "I am the last of the Ashdown line. My parents... they... passed on and my father was an only child. I'm positive that branches of the line still exist, but the direct line- my line, is almost extinct. It's up to me to restore our family name. Sometimes, it all seems like too much..."

Cael was glad she had called him a friend. He wasn't one to mince words with people and when he found someone he truly liked, he started to automatically treat them as a friend. "I think the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw tables as positioned next to one another from what I've read about Hogwarts so maybe we could still sit across from each other," Cael laughed before all color drained out of his face and his laughter shriveled up in his throat.

Jupiter. Oh Merlin, she was petting Jupiter. The nastiest, meanest, most foul-tempered little rodent in the entire world was about to be touched by one of his only friends! He darted toward her with a strangled choking noise, intending to rip her fingers away from him before he hurt her, only to stop with his arm outstretched awkwardly.

Purring. Jupiter was actually purring! Cael could hardly pass an hour without getting a scratch or a bite from the little cretin and here Willow had reduced him to a squirming, purring mass of fluff. "He- he's never let anyone, and I mean anyone, touch him before," Cael spoke with awe, "You must be really special, Willow. Are you planning on doing something related to the care of magical creatures?"
