Sweet Ride
| —— | •──────────• Date : 1st September 2024 𝓋𝑒𝓃𝓉 : Sweet Ride •──────────• Comfortably seated in the empty compartment she had chosen for herself, Yuki gazed fondly at her parents, who waved at her from the platform. She was really here. She was starting her first year at Hogwarts, her first journey on the Hogwarts Express! The excitement washed over her. She was a bit sad, because her older brother, Bryan, had reluctantly left her alone. He was extremely protective and always watching over her... But she had asked him herself that she wanted to experience this first trip on her own. Between, they would see each other again at the Welcoming Ceremony. Her brother was a Gryffindor with the sweetiest heart ever, someone who truly deserved his place in his house. He excelled in all his subjects and was always ready to help his classmates when they needed. He had even been offered the position of prefect, but he had refused it, saying he preferred to focus on his studies. Yuki was also wondering in which house she would be sorted. She was dreaming about joining Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff. Her parents always reassured her, telling her that no matter where will going, nothing would change for them. She'll always be their little lovely girl. And to be honest, every house seemed to suit her in every way. She was clever and determined to succeed in her studies, but she was also brave, humble, and generous. Still, she knew she will prioritize her education above all else. She couldn’t wait to learn new spells—and maybe, just maybe, make some real friends. She was waiting for close and confidants friends, people who would care for her just as she would do for them. She had friends in the past, back in her Muggle schools, but for unknowing reasons, they had always been fake with her. They found her and her parents strange. And her brother? They never even saw him -they just didn't know he was to Hogwarts, and less more that they were wizards... But all that story was behind her now. Now, she was about to be surrounded by people like her. And maybe this time, she would learn what was real friendships. At least, she hoped so. •──────────•

Cherry has never been much of an emotional person, possibly due to her relatively constant state of detachment from things she deemed unimportant, when her parents sent her and her siblings off to the Hogwarts Express, she didn’t cry nor did she give them a tearful wave goodbye.
She didn’t allow herself to tremble or give any indication of nervousness, she just bid her siblings a temporary farewell and set off to find a compartment with less enthusiasm and people.
She was aware of Bea’s disagreeing gaze pointed at her back but paid it no mind as she slid open the compartment door closest to her, slightly eager to escape the tense atmosphere. Thankfully, there is only one person inhabiting the compartment. After she sits down on the opposite side across from the person who appears to be a girl.
Her wavy brunette hair is long and neat, her sharp lightly colored eyes gaze intensely at something outside, her body language giving away nothing but fondness at what, or rather who, she’s looking at.
Cherry looks out of the window, hoping to catch at glimpse of whoever the girl is looking at with no such luck, she does see her mère, her father, and her mother speaking as though they don’t want to draw attention, how interesting.
It’s not the first time she’s seen them whisper-arguing so intensely, it’s mostly been about the same thing, her declining mental health and unusual detachment towards the world around her, her mère and father want her to start attending Bea’s therapy sessions but her mother always refuses.
Cherry shares her mother’s opinion, she’s not going mad, she’s just growing up and she would appreciate it if they didn’t treat her like the next Bellatrix Lestrange.
Cherry snaps out of her thoughts when the Hogwarts Express lurches into a slow start, she grounds herself by focusing on the girl sitting opposite of her, deciding to speak. She holds out her tin full of Algerian Sablès, made by her mother, toward the girl.
”Hello. I’m Cerise. Would you like a sablè,” her accent clings to the words effectively making her sound sickly sweet making her scowl briefly before looking apologetically at the girl. She doesn’t want to tell the girl her preferred name before having a proper conversation with her.

Sweet Ride
| —— | •──────────• Date : 1st September 2024 𝓋𝑒𝓃𝓉 : Sweet Ride •──────────• As soon as Yuki mentioned the idea of making friends, or at least meeting new people, the door to her compartment slid open, making her turn her head sharply towards the person who had just entered. It was a girl, much to her relief. She had nothing against boys, but she didn't want to be alone with one of them for her entire first ride on the Hogwarts Express. The girl slid into the compartment and plopped down in front of Yuki. She remained silent for a moment and Yuki said nothing either, slightly hesitant. She watched her silently, admiring her long blond hair that perfectly framed her face, giving her an almost fairy-tale look. She also noticed that one of her eyes was pale green, while the other was blue. She had a rather calm, serene expression. She wore light makeup, but there was no denying that she needed nothing to enhance her beauty. Then, to the little brunette's great astonishment, as the train began to move faster and faster, the blonde took out a small packet of cakes and handed it to her, introducing herself. Her name was Cerise. "What a beautiful name", Yuki thought, giving her interlocutor a smile. There was some sort of accent on the blonde's face; Yuki wondered what it was. Maybe French? She accepted one of the cakes the girl offered her. "Sablès?", if she understood correctly. She tasted it and found it delicious. She swallowed her last bite and then, after wiping her mouth and hands with a tissue, introduced herself. — "Nice to meet you Cerise, I'm Yuki. Are you excited to go to Hogwarts too?", then after a moment of reflection, "which house would you like to go to?" She had barely uttered these words when, for the second time since the beginning of the journey, the door slid open again, revealing a brunette girl. She stepped forward and politely asked if she could sit down. Without hesitation, Yuki smiled and welcomed her. — "Hi, of course, sit wherever you like. My name is Yuki, and this is Cerise. And you?" The ride was starting off well after all. Maybe she wouldn't have anything to worry about. •──────────•

To Cherry’s pleasure, the girl accepts her Sablè and seems to like it, if her face is anything to go by. Her mother will be pleased to hear of it. Thankfully the girl seems to have some kind of manners, taking the time to wipe the excess crumbs off before introducing herself to Cherry and remarking on how nice it is to meet her.
Cherry offers the girl a tentative smile, taken aback by her kind demeanor, the question she asked made Cherry hesitate. In all honesty, Cherry hadn’t thought much about what house she wants to be in, the siblings that are still in the Hogwarts age group are in either Slytherin, Hufflepuff, or Ravenclaw.
After a moment of thinking, she opened her mouth to answer but was cut off by the compartment door sliding open, she closed her mouth to avoid looking like a gaping fish just before the person walked in.
The person turns out to be a girl whose sense of style gives the impression that she’d be tolerated by Bea, which is good considering Bea doesn’t tolerate strangers and only dislikes them. Yuki, the girl she was speaking to, wasted no time introducing herself and Cherry to the newcomer, her kind demeanor once again shocks Cherry before she retained her composure and analyzed the ebony-haired girl.
Her outfit isn’t Cherry’s style but it seems to fit her, she internally makes a note to ask where she got her skirt once she settles in, she wasted no time offering the girl a Sablè with a tight but earnest attempt at a smile, “Hello, would you like a Sablè?” Cherry mentally pat herself on the back for not sounding too fake this time.

| —— | •──────────• 𝙙𝙖𝙩𝙚 : 1st September 2024 𝓋𝑒𝓃𝓉 : Sweet Ride •──────────• If Yuki had to describe the girl in front of her named Cerise, she would have said she didn't know. Aside from her apparent beauty, she seemed uncomfortable, and Yuki felt slightly watched. Nothing serious, maybe she was just shy. Still, her smile seemed slightly forced, and Yuki felt his blue eyes darting toward her as she wiped away the excess of crumbs around her mouth. When Yuki started asking her questions, she seemed taken aback by his attempt at conversation and didn't know what to say, her eyelashes fluttering in a lost akr. Just as she was about to answer, the girl who introduced herself as Andronica entered the compartment, and Yuki welcomed her naturally. Now that she thought about it, she hadn't even bothered to ask if Cerise was okay with it. For Yuki, the more people there were, the more pleasant it was. But it might not be the same for the little blonde; maybe it make her even more uncomfortable. Her doubts were dispelled, however, when she saw her ask the same question she had asked before, holding out one of her "sablès" to the newcomer. Andronica was very pretty, and completely the opposite of Cerise. While Cerise had light blonde hair similar to an angel's, Andronica's hair was reminiscent of a dark raven's feathers. Cerise wore soft, light colors and her appearance was neat from head to toe, while Andronica wore loose, dark, and very eclectic clothing. Yuki liked both styles and had never been prejudiced against people who embraced their styles. She actually admired them. She didn't have clothes that were particularly out of the ordinary, but they suited her perfectly. Andronica seemed like an enthusiastic and particularly talkative girl. And very kind. She had an accent and referred to herself as Korean, which explained her pronunciation. Yuki smiled and thanked her when she complimented them. After that, silence fell back in the compartment, only broken by the sound of the train on the tracks. Anyway, she didn't know what to say to two people anymore. •──────────•

Cherry felt her face form a small but noticeable smile when the girl enthusiastically sat next to her, Cherry briefly glances at Yuki, who seems slightly troubled but doesn’t seem to be mad.
The newcomer, who introduced herself as Andronica, has some kind of infectious enthusiasm and an equally infectious smile, Cherry caught herself smiling back at the girl more than once, Cherry briefly noted that her unique demeanor reminded her of her beloved kitten, Bea, who she named after her older sister.
Cherry once again found herself smiling at the girl when her eyes glowed with delight after she offered her a sablè, the girl spoke excitedly in a language Cherry notes as Korean, she sadly doesn’t speak the language, Andronica seemed to catch the fact that she wasn’t speaking English any longer and translated her words into English. Cherry only shook her head fondly at the girl, now warming up to her kind but still slightly unnerving demeanor.
Just when she thinks she’s figured the girl out, she shocks Cherry by complimenting her and Yuki, Cherry isn’t shocked per say, Yuki is a very pretty girl and Cherry knows that she herself isn’t unfortunate in the looks department but the kids Cherry grew up with weren’t open enough to compliment her or anyone else their age for that matter. They just stared appreciatively and went about their business.
Cherry nearly stumbles a few words of thanks before she catches herself, ”Thank you Andronica, I think you’re pretty as well.” She uncharacteristically beams at the girls in the compartment before forcing her lips into a smaller, less forward smile.
She nearly chokes on the sablè she’s eating as she remembers that she never answered Yuki’s question, “By the way Yuki, I don’t really have a preference but I guess Slytherin or Ravenclaw would be okay, I wouldn’t argue with Hufflepuff but I draw the line at Gryffindor, I like the color red but you can only see it so many times before it becomes repetitive.” Cherry shudders just thinking about, her brother told her that he got swept up with the Gryffindors in his first year and told her that everything in their common room is red, he could be lying but what if he’s not, Cherry would lose her sanity seeing red for so long.
Cherry turns to Andronica and fills her in on the question Yuki asked before she walked into the compartment, making sure to let her know that while she did startle her, Cherry holds no ill wishes towards her. Cherry felt the need to tell her that last part because most of the people she knows would probably be planning payback for the smallest startle.
