Katherine entered the train somewhat slowly; she was greeting an old place she hadn't seen in a while - like someone who was looking if anything had changed while they were gone. Curious blue eyes surveyed the inside of the vehicle, she did miss two journeys she normally should have done, after all.
'One single mistake, and you'll never return back to that school, you hear me? Don't. You. Dare.'
She had momentarily forgotten her lovely mother's last words, hissed inside her ear while they were faking a farewell kiss ceremony; but the act of looking for a nonexistant change could distract her for only so long. The words started ringing in her mind again. Her mother's expression was hard to forget too, and her father - hopeless as he had always been. Katherine felt that her cheeks were burning in anger and hatred with fresh tears blurring her sight. She had grown used to this over the last eight months and had only cried once about it, but this was different. Even though she knew she really shouldn't make something her mother would see as a mistake, the fact that it was said out loud by her mother made it real. She either behaved, or she was never returning back to this world.
The thought of Daxton crossed her mind briefly, but she knew how to push that aside. Instead, she entered the first compartment she found (conveniently only the second compartment after the prefects' in case someone annoyed her), and threw her small luggage on the opposite seat, not bothering to put it away; then plopped down herself.
'Don't. You. Dare. You hear me? Don't you...'
She knew her mother was watching her, so she got up, closed the compartment door and got out the book Professor Hirsch had given her, although it was the fourth time she was reading it. Parting ways with his family was unusually hard on Callum Kettleburn this train departure as his parents had to bid farewell to all three of their children for the first time. The fourteen-year-old was experiencing a weird, twisting feeling in his gut as he hugged his mum goodbye, and it was almost... painful. Sure, it was natural for kids to grow up and leave their parents, but... he still felt a little guilty now that his younger sister Chloe had left the roost, too. And, yes, it was beyond words to have both of his sisters at Hogwarts now, and he was certain that elation would override any worries for his parents later, but... at the moment, he found himself oddly wishing his parents could come along with them, too. Maybe they could be professors at Hogwarts or something, just to have everyone together again.
That would never be a reality, though, he knew, so there was no use dwelling on it. He had his newly restored duty as a protective big brother now that he would get to have Chloe around full time - well, as long as she didn't turn rebellious on him and avoid him like the plague. Hopefully she would see that he was not setting out to spoil her reputation before she even got the chance to blossom into her own little Hogwarts beauty and they would get to spend ample time together. It did not matter to Callum that he was a fourth year and Chloe was just a first year; he figured it would come as no surprise to people that he would enjoy having his kid sister around as much as possible. He was not the least bit embarrassed by her.
...At least he thought he wouldn't be.
His first new Hogwarts brotherly duty was to keep tabs on Chloe and make sure she felt safe and included, but once he had made sure she was settled in with a nice group, he excused himself briefly to find Jael eventually, but first see if the flash of hair he thought he saw belonged to who he thought it had belonged to-- but could it be...?
Peering inside the new compartment, Callum lit up at the sight of its occupant and slid open the compartment door, leaning against the door frame as he playfully remarked, "Look what the cat dragged in." His smile grew broadly as he let himself inside, sitting beside the luggage on the seat opposite from Katherine, unfazed by it being there, and made himself at home. "You look great." A year had treated her well. He had grown several inches himself - he was closing in on 5'7" currently and growing taller by the day - and had undergone a voice change, but she was a beauty in her own right, did she know?
