|The Journey| Closed

Jo was also very bad at ice breaking, but she was used to putting on a face and pretending its ok. "That's amazing! But one question, What's up with this Pure-Blood Thing?" she asked her voice a bit shaky, giving her away. As she remembered Him saying

"I guess I am a pure-blood-"

She never heard of Pure-Blood from her grandmother, she just knew that it's a thing, the Person at Diagon Alley Mentioned it, and now them. She started fiddling with her hands, which was her reaction to when she was nervous. "I think I could be great for Hufflepuff or Gryffindor, I was never great in the Smarts department, so not Ravenclaw and Slytherin is fine, I just heard rumours around the train as they were talking in the train that People like me, in Slytherin they weren't very fond of in the old days." she said, she was slowly letting herself go, and her voice shaking. She remembered somebody saying "Mudblood"she didn't want to ask what it was, seeing the reactions from others. "I went to a Muggle school before this, So I know my way around my town," I say not knowing anything else to say. "Does this make us friends?" I ask in a soft voice. I just want friends, I just left my family and friends, just the thought of it makes me want to tear up.

Charles waited a few minutes for a reply. They were also probably as nervous as he was. Finally the girl spoke up.

]"Oh, I'm a Muggle-born" she said. " Do you know how to wake her up? "She fainted. " Charles shook his head when she asked if he knew what to do. "I think this girl is claustrophobic, the train is small, And the moment she came in here had a look around, she fainted." The girl added.

" Well I don't know what to do about somebody fainting. That's for sure, but its actually kind of neat to meet a muggle born. I've never actually made friends with a muggle before so I bet you have all these cool stories. But if my parents ever ask I say you could pass for a half-blood. " Charles said smiling. " What about you? " Charles asked the boy.

Charles had no idea if he knew what to say, but he thought it was polite to ask. He assumed the boy did not hear him because he was lost in thought. Charles usually got lost in his own thoughts a lot too. Finally the boy spoke up.

]"I guess I am a pure blood but I grew up in South Korea, Japan, and China. I have visited London before too like I previously mentioned." The boy would say, then he paused. "I heard we will be sorted, what classes do you want to be sorted in?"

Charles had to think about that he still had no idea what house he wanted to be in. As Charles thought he did not hear their conversation. He only heard two things from their conversation both said by the girl.

"That's amazing! But one question, What's up with this Pure-Blood Thing?"

After that was said he finally decided on what house he wanted to get. But he still needed to figure out how to word it. Then the second thing he heard was...

"Does this make us friends?" The girl said quietly.

Charles smiled at what she said. "Of course were friends. I've never been able to talk to anybody this openly before. " Charles said as a wide grin spread across his face. And basically a Pure-Blood is a person born in a family with magic but they only ever married other pure-blood so things stay 'Pure' and most Pure-Bloods hate Muggle-born's. I just don't know why. " Charles said shrugging. " But if we are sorted I want to be a Raven claw, just like my mom. " Charles said smiling again. He then stopped talking hoping that one of them would talk.

The Moment the boy said

"of course Were friends"

The girls face lit up, she hadn't really had a friend who agreed that they knew each other, all she knew was that she had made a friend and that she could somewhat talk to someone. "That's odd, I thought there weren't that many wizards out there?" She said, as she came of the realization. She realized what the word meant, and she got a tiny bit offended. She somewhat remembered him saying

" But if we are sorted I want to be a Raven claw, just like my mom. "

"That's great! I just hope they won't be any trouble for any of us, especially the poor girl. And is there any I don't know what to call it in this magic world but racism against Muggle-borns? " She just hoped that whatever happens, that is over, the people said it as if it was (and it was) one of the worst things that happened to Muggle-borns. Atleast they're not like them...right? she thought. She let herself relax a bit, this felt better, maybe Hogwarts would be her home. A place where she wouldn't get called a freak, bullied for her clothes, and where she could grow. She let out a shaky sigh, as she looked out at the flashing countryside. It was now getting dark.

Just like he hoped for somebody began talking. But now it was his first friend.

"That's odd, I thought there weren't that many wizards out there?" She said.

Then she spoke again to reply to what Hose he wanted to be in.

"That's great! I just hope they won't be any trouble for any of us, especially the poor girl. And is there any I don't know what to call it in this magic world but racism against Muggle-borns? "

Charles shrugged for an answer. " I don't understand why, buts is usually only pure-bloods that think that. I hope that if I go to Hogwarts I can figure out why. Its the only reason I agreed with my parents to go here. Because they said it was my choice. " Charles shrugged. Then he thought on how to answer her question about wizards. Finally he got the right words. " They have other schools of magic all over the world. Hogwarts just takes only a few places. But it dose not matter were your born as long as you move into an area that Hogwarts takes. And you are not 11 yet and have your first accidental wandless magic there they will accept you. I know this because my dad came from Florida. My dad then moved to England for the hope if he had any kids they would go to Hogwarts. Since my grandpa on my dads side went there but moved to Florida when he graduated. " Charles said. " What house would you want to be in? " He asked. " Well I'm beat, sorry if I can't stay up to hear your answer. But I am super tired. " Charles then yawned. He closed his eyes and listened to the sound of the train. He fell asleep quickly after that. And his trunk slipped out of his hand and hit the floor but it did not open. And it was not damaged from the fall.

The moment her friend asked

"What house do you want to be in?"

Jo turned pale pink. "Gryffindor or Hufflepuff Should do it." she said her voice shaking, she just imagined the hat yelling "Slytherin!" and all the looks she would get, she shook it off, she knew if it was Slytherin it won't be the worst thing ever. She noticed the case that had fallen on the floor. She picked it up and put it in the bin Overhead of him. She warmly smiled as she sat down, and started to talk to Adohiro, "what about you?" She asked as she looked at him, and adjusted the girl so she was more comfortable She sighed. There was the trolley coming, the woman yelling "Sweets from the trolley!" which kept her from dozing off like her friend, she took a quick glance outside, she could have sworn there was a frog flying by the window. The outside was slowly starting to get dark, "Was Asia nice?" She asked trying to keep the conversation going. She put on the jacket that she was wearing around her waist, it was getting chilly, and thing old clothing made for warm wear didn't help. She sighed again as she leaned back in her seat, And stared at the old and cracked sealing, thinking of how many people saw it as they were going to Hogwarts.

He would let the people happily chat away not wanting to interrupt anyone at all. Once it felt like it was his turn to speak, he opened his mouth. "There is racism against muggles and mud blood by pure bloods, but it does not always happen. I do not think you need to fret at all. Also, my family has been in Slytherin for ages and ages. I wish to be part of Slytherin for my clan and family line. So I hope I can get the sorting hat to be select Slytherin." He spoke in a matter of fact and in a very formal tone. He had always been taught to be a formal, reserve, and polite person among his peers and those who were older than him and even younger than him. He was a bit worried that he would not make friends so he planned to join every club there was! "I plan to join in every club I can join so I can have a huge friend circle!" He told his plans to his new found friends. "Will you all join clubs too? If you do, I will see you around." He would smile at them.

@Josette Rutledge @Charles Simmons

The Use of the words "mud blood" quickly wiped the smile of jo's face, she hated those words after the realization of what it meant. "That's Great! I'll try to join a club next year after I get a taste of this wizarding world." She gave him a watery smile. " Why In the muggle world its a tradition to get the same Job position as their predecessor, say, people expect their children to be engineers or doctors." she said, knowing that if Charles was listening to this might explain something."I don't want a lot of friends... I Just need ones I can rely on, say you are crying, you have a friend to hug you and to comfort you." she said, smiling a bit watery. You just need to pray it lasts she thought. "If any of us get sorted into different houses, let's just attempt to be friends." she added. "And sorry to say so much, but this whole entire 'Blood Purity' thing just seems stupid to me. There are so many more things to worry about, not just some 'Blood Purity' and it's stupid, muggles figured out how to travel without floo power or brooms, they have their own way of thinking, its kind of fascinating actually." she added, she looked around and just seemed to realize how serious his tone was, meaning he wasn't joking at any point. She just shakes her head very softly and looks out the window.
