With his grip on her, the eleven year old didn’t feel so abandoned.

But as soon as she stepped onto the Hogwarts Express, that would all change. There would be no guiding arms in the masses. No tall, protective shoulders to carry her high above crowds. No short blonde hair for her to braid, no lips to kiss her forehead before bedtime, no knuckles gently nudging her awake in the morning. No Bastien.

“Yes, please.” Leecey’s voice was smaller than she’d intended for it to be, and it seemed to grow even smaller once she realized Al might have been planning to sit with friends of his own. “Or Cal and Bay.”

They, despite their irksome attached-at-the-hip antics, were lucky. And far from alone.

Bastien wouldn't let go of her hand until it was time for her to depart, that was for certain.

It was a little surprising to hear that she wasn't fussing to only sit with Al, but then it wasn't all that surprising who her second options were. The twins were going this term as well and she might find comfort in that. Absently, his eyes scanned the crowd for either them or their parents. So many kids here.

"I left you some extra coins in your bags." He used his tall lean figure to get them through the crowd easily. "And some other surprises. You remember everything I told you?" Not that he worried, but he had given her a few warnings about the hazards of Hogwarts. Nothing to scare her, but enough to make sure she wasn't entirely ignorant to where she'd be living in the next few months. Kids died more at her school than they did Durmstrang.

Maybe he was a little worried.
