She felt safe around Violeta–despite the older girl being a loud extrovert–and less lonely. But her cousin had gone off with her boyfriend (again) and so she was left to her own devices. There was that boy Xavier and Perseus, but they were from Violeta's dad's side of the family Yuli was a complete stranger to. Sure they spoke Spanish too, but the former boy looked scary enough not to wish him in her compartment.

Taking a seat beside the window, she rubbed her clammy hands on her jeans and sighed. Here she was...on a train...a magical train that would take her to a magical school for magical kids. The thought was still so odd. Just weeks ago she was an unnatural girl from Mexico, whose mother told her to keep her weird skills hidden from her new husband and kids.

Now...she was considered normal amongst her kind. Or at least, she hoped she turned out to be a normal witch. She would appreciate some normal in her life.

Having somehow abandoned his brother on the chaos that was Platform 9 ¾, Elias had slipped onto the train before the inevitable pep talk that would come from his father and the coddling from his mother. Not that he minded the latter too much, he was a Mummy’s boy after all but his fellow students need not know that.

He had found the front of the train to be a little less overbearing than the other sections and therefore the ideal spot to nestle in with a book or a puzzle and not be disturbed for the entirety of the journey. At least that was what his expectations were but unfortunately Hogwarts didn’t often match up to his needs and the train was already filling up fast with over-eager students who would want to disturb his alone time.

The only compartment that seemed to be empty enough for the twelve year old to tolerate contained a student younger than himself who didn’t have that bubbly over-the-top attitude that he despised and whom he could probably intimidate enough with his cold stare to keep quiet. He slid the door open, glancing wordlessly in her direction before setting out his supplies on the seat nearest the window and settling into the space next to that.
