So this was seventh year.

Each step of his lanky stride had been weighed down with embarrassment as his parents AND grandpa had escorted himself and Rebecca to King's Cross station to see them both off. Though they were mostly there to see HIM off since it was his momentous last term. To anyone who saw the scene, it would be easy to assume that the agitation on his pale features and the way his shoulders aggressively slumped forward was because his mum had been crying, dad had made a big to-do about this being his last time giving him soup for the train, and grandpa had been....grandpa. Something that was only made worse by the fact that he was so easily distinguishable as Minister for Magic...even without the booming voice and horrifying display of his BABY pictures right in the middle of the crowded platform.

Now everyone had seen his baby eclair.

Thanks. Just. Yeah. Let's add to his misery.

While the assumptions were not incorrect, there was a much deeper more self-loathing reason for his embarrassment. And that was the simply fact that he was boarding this train...without a badge. It was stupid and childish to feel such resentment over the fact, particularly when he had spent the majority of his Hogwarts career rejecting the very notion of it solely because both his parents had been prefects and he did not want his path at Hogwarts to fall under their shadows. Everything had to be of his own merit, his own making.

Now...he would give just about anything to have that, to be walking in their shadow, and he hadn't realized it until ... it hadn't even been presented to him as an option. And now he felt a deep disconnect from ... his bloodline?

Making his way on to the train, Eiji did everything he could to put distance between himself and the prefect compartment. He had even considered riding in the luggage compartment but he quickly veto'd that. Instead he found himself an empty compartment and flopped himself down on one of the seats. He didn't care to see the view outside the train, so he pulled down the shade and just...stared ahead at the vacant seat in front of him.
