She wandered the train, looking for some of her friends, but she got lost in her thoughts.
Evan certainly wasn’t the loudest sibling but… she missed his quiet and steady companionship. Even when he DID make fun of her. This year would weird without him.
She continued down the train a little more before she spotted a familiar blonde with her feet up on the bench. Remy. A warm smile crossed her lips as she approached her friend. She knocked on the top of the bench. “Knock, knock. Hey there stranger. Mind if I join you?” she asked offering her mate a teasing smile.
Ugh.
She should have known that enjoying an empty compartment on the Hogwarts Express was impossible. With that and the start of term feast, Remy supposed she could switch her social skills on for a short time. She was… surprised to see Lisa choosing to spend the train ride with her, and almost touched. While they were still very much friends, Remy hadn’t exactly been a good one of late, and wouldn’t question any of her friends writing her off completely.
“
Lees…” she smiled warmly, “
sure you can.” Her feet lowered from the seats opposite her and she closed her textbook before resting her elbows on the hard surface of its cover. “…
although I’d hate to bore you with my company.” She wasn’t sure why she felt it necessary to make such a bleak comment, but she really did want to give Lisa a chance to save herself.
