Baht-ley - The Sweetest - TEAM 947! Melanie quickly boarded the train, offering her father and brother a short wave before ducking into an empty compartment on the far side of the train, so her dad couldn't see her through the window. She dragged her trunk as she entered the compartment with difficulty, a curious fluffy, black cat trailing behind her. He jumped up onto the luggage rack, to take a nap.
Melanie glanced at her reflection in the window, frowning and deciding she needed to fix her hair. Immediately. Sitting on top of her head were two crooked pigtails one high up and the other low, her hair filled with little uneven bumps. Her Father's unsuccessful attempt at pulling her hair up.
Scowling the girl slipped the twisties out of her hair, letting it fall to her shoulders, a bit messy, but definitely an improvement from before. She glanced at her reflection yet again in the window and raised an eyebrow looking skeptical. In the end she decided it looked alright. Not good but alright...
Ohhh, but she didn't care! she was on her third train ride to Hogwarts and frankly the second year was thrilled. Deciding she didn't want to sit alone, Melanie scooped up her cat, who let out a disgruntled growl, from the luggage rack and ventured out into the aisle looking for a compartment nearby so she didn't need to tow her luggage far. She glanced around trying find someone she knew. |
