A New Reality
September 2020
The entire day had felt like a flurry of commotion. One minute, Rebekah had been with her family at home packing her bags and preparing for the trip to Hogwarts, a ride to the train station, quick bite to eat, then waving goodbye to her family through the compartment window. Bekah's face had been glued to the window as she forced her cheek into the cool glass and waved until her wrist hurt. The crowd swallowing her parents, she leaned back from the window and let another wave of excitement crash over her before settling into the cushy bench seats.
As the train jolted forward it brought with it the realization she knew... no one. Not that she couldn't make friends but this was a literal.. new world. Magic! She was definitely in over her head. Pressing her shoulders into the cushion behind her, Bex's eyes rolled over to the compartment doorway as voices trailed up and down the hallway. Other students were wandering by in packs or one every so often that must've been shifting from one group to another getting ready for the ride. In fact... how long was the ride supposed to be? Each passing moment the young girl was beginning to realize just how little she knew about.. anything that involved Hogwarts, let alone magic. Watching eagerly at the passerbys, Rebekah debated getting up and greeting some of the students as they went on their way or hoped to catch someone's attention as they peeked in.

A New Reality
Rachel had finally made it to kings cross. Since she and her family lived rather close to the train station, they started their journey rather late and ended up being almost too late to catch the train. Rachels dad helped her carry the suitcase up the steps into the train. She quickly waved her family goodbye as the train started moving and her little sisters, Eden and Savannah, were screaming goodbye as lout as they could and her mom waved silently blowing kisses towards her. With her violin on her back and suitcase in hand, she started walking down the corridor in search of a compartment. First, she walked past some older kids, which obviously knew each other already since they were laughing and overall having a good time. She let them be and walked further down.
Until she came to a compartment with only one other girl inside. She looked nice, but also seemed a bit lonely so she figured the girl -hopefully- wouldn't mind her joining "Hi", she greeted the girl as she opened the door. "I hope you don't mind me joining you". She put her suitcase onto the overhead net and put the violin on the seat next to her. "I'm Rachel, nice to meet you. What's your name?"

Rebekah let out a small huff feeling as if forever had come and gone without any interaction. She was about to give up when someone entered the compartment. Score! Immediately Bekah sat up straight and pulled her legs under her. "No way! Not at all!" Her eyes danced over the girl happily, a smile plastered across her face as if she had just walked into a room full of sweets. "I'm Rebekah-" She quickly corrected herself thinking maybe full names were a bit too formal, "Bekah, well Bex I guess... everyone back home calls me that anyway." Words came spilling out of the young girl's mouth all too excited to finally have someone to converse with. "Have you already been to Hogwarts? This is my first time! I didn't even know that magic was an actual thing.. like literally-real!" She was practically bouncing in her seat unable to contain herself, knee bobbing up and down a number of times before she pulled her legs onto the seat and sat cross-legged, hands jammed into her lap. "I dunno about you but I had no clue even about me being able to do stuff. When they showed up to tell my parents, my dad was the one who fainted." If anything she had expected her mother to be the one to fall faint at the news but she had jumped up and down in celebration while her father crumpled to the kitchen floor.

Orion was in a rush to leave the platform, his mother was all to busy chatting with other parents so the only proper send off was from his family's house elf, Pepper.
The young boy sighed as he looked into his bag and suit-case one last time.
"Goodbye young master, I do hope you will come back this winter." The elf said nearly tearing up.
"It'll all be fine, Pepper. You've done a wonderful job." Orion added with a smile before waving at his busy mother who dully gestured back.
He took his suit case and satchel as smoke came out of the train and happily boarded it, trying to remind himself to stay collected while searching for an open compartment.
"Just remember what you said to Pepper." He thought to himself. "You dont need to be worried."
Orion felt the train begin to move forward as he stumbled in the middle of the walk way. The young Neptune tried to hold balance and clumsily stepped into Rebekah and Rachel's compartment with his satchel and all its contents tossing and turning on his side.
"Ah hello! My name's Neptune, Orion Neptune. Is it alright if I stay here?" He asked politely before making sure his wand was safe in his bag.
