What madness! On the floor?!
-As she heard the other girls voice,Enora turned bright red -it looked as if her cheeks were burning because she was so pale-as she relized what she had just said-I shouldn't have offered to sit on the floor! Now their all going to look at me funny! The blonde who looked a bit more like her in clothing looked at her quizzicaly-Enora relized she still had her hoodie and sunglasses on Is it safe to take them off? I mean they might kick me out if I do but After a few minutes Enora decided that it would be best for her to leave the hoodie because strange as it was her hair and her eyes probaby still looked stranger! She looked around the room to see that both of the blonde girls had their eyes expectantly on Enora I should probaby sit down- and sat down next to the girl who had greeted her. After she had sat down when the others atterntion was still on Enora she dicided that she would try to make small talk among the other girls-to draw attention away from herself. So um, What are you're names? What are you most excited for at hogwarts, um do any of you have some fun stories?...Do you know anything about magic? Can the window open?-then Enora pulled her hood tighter and curled up to listen-thinking that no-one would ever dare ask her her own questions back.

| ————— | Night Bus? Did I hear that right? She blinked at Taryn's pale complexion, momentarily taken aback by the word. She was familiar with that kind of vehicle and had already tried boarding into one with her family outings when she was young. To hear that there is a night bus in this magical world... maybe it was just a night bus that traveled after sunset like what she knows. That familiar way of traveling where she can stare out the window and watch the passing scenery, her head against the cool glass windows as the vehicle rattled along the winding roads. Or maybe not? Well, it's not that there's something simple in the magical world she was currently being dragged into. Every answer she manage to uncover leads to more questions and conversations introduced yet another strange term that everyone else seemed to understand so effortlessly. But with the new arrival, she can only so much as tuck the question to the side and will soon learn of it until she eventually reach some reasonable conclusion. Well, not that it helped with how the new girl, seemingly nervous just as Mari is, barraged them new questions that jumbled her thoughts. By the fourth question, Mari slightly tilted her head to the side, eyes blinking rapidly as she tried to remember the first one that the girl asked. She spoke so rapidly, the words tumbling out of her mouth one after another as if she was holding it back for so long... but it's not about chattering or something. She looked just as awkward as Mari does, if not more, as if she wanted attention to go away from her. And as her hazel eyes stared towards the girl in the oversized hoodie and sunglasses, she can't even find it in herself to think of any judgment. Sure, it was peculiar enough but Marigold knows enough that people had their own reasons as to why they hide parts of themselves. Scratching her neck, she tried to recall the first two questions. My name... and what was the next one again — about Hogwarts? "I'm... Marigold," she spoke her name once again, introducing herself to the newcomer. "M-Marigold Wesley... and uh... I only know the textbooks..." she said, smiling sheepishly, the corners of her lips subtly twitching like it was trying its best to not end up in a wince. She slightly gestured the other two with her head. "You can... ask them. They... they know more than I do... about magic." She slightly tilted her head, and hesitantly asked. "Uhm... I'm sorry... w-what was your name again...?" |

The newcomer girl seemingly ignored Mary’s question about her name, but sat down next to her, and as questions sometimes flew past one ear and through the other for Mary too, she didn’t mind it. Besides, the girl seemed to be terribly nervous, and though Mary didn’t quite understand it, she supposed that might’ve been the cause of her absent-mindedness.
The compartment was filling up, now with four people occupying it, and the atmosphere was starting to get less awkward as conversations emerged, and the occupants got to know each other bit by bit.
The questions that spilled from the unknown girl’s mouth were more of Mary’s pace, however Marigold spoke up first. As she finished speaking Mary excitedly barged into the conversation.
“I’m Mary Littoreus. I know all about magic, ask me anything ya want! I’m excited to learn to fly a broom and play quidditch… also study herbology, defense against the dark arts, and, honestly… everything!” she chattered, not even noticing how she got louder with each word. Her eyes lit up as she was taken back into her dreams of Hogwarts. “I’ve been waiting for this moment my entire life!”
Then just as the new girl motioned to the window asking if it could open, did Mary’s eyes land on her pulled up hood and sunglasses.
“‘Course it can, but I suppose taking off yer hood could also help. What are ya hiding under it, anyways?” the girl asked blatantly.

Taryn stared at the newcomer, stunned by the amount of questions she had asked at once.
The first question had been simple, the second alright, but by the time of the third and the fourth question, Taryn’s thoughts had got all jumbled.
She was glad Marigold answered first. This way, she had a bit more time to revisit the questions and make sense of the already half-formed answers in her mind.
The first question had been what their names were, the second question was something about Hogwarts. Or about magic? Or had that been one of the later questions?
Mary jumped into the conversation as soon as Marigold stopped talking, and started rambling about all the things she was excited about regarding Hogwarts. When her travel companion mentioned Herbology, Taryn’s face lit up. She realised she had already been smiling anyway. Mary’s enthusiasm was contagious.
There was a small gap after Mary’s chatter, and Taryn took this opportunity to introduce herself as well.
“I’m Taryn,” she said to the new girl. “I’m excited for the lessons, mostly. I can’t wait to start using my wand and be able to do magic of my own. I’m looking forward to Herbology as well, and I suppose it would be good to know how to fly…”
She trailed off and frowned slightly. No, she wasn’t looking forward to flying. She’d never done it before. She might be absolute rubbish at it.
The girl in the hoodie asked if the window could be opened. That didn’t surprise Taryn considering how she was dressed.
As Mary replied, Taryn went to examine the window. There was a smaller window above the main one that looked like it could be opened.
She got up from her seat, quickly smoothed out the fabric of her dress, and had a closer look at the mechanism. It looked rather simple. There was a small handle you could pull on in order to slide the glass panel to the side.
Taryn went to try it. The window jammed a little.
"Uhm," Taryn turned to the other girls in the compartment, "Is there perhaps anyone who could help me with the window?" She cast a quick glance at Mary and then at Marigold, hoping either of them could help her out. "It's kind of stuck..."

| ————— | Out of everything that Marigold heard from Mary’s words, only Herbology had been familiar. It was the only book she had decided to read in the remaining days before the start of classes and it was safe to say that she had liked it far too much that she already added some of it in her journal. But otherwise, the little garden enthusiast can only blink as she process the other words. Defense against the dark arts… vaguely familiar. Flying on a broom? Like a real broom that’s used to sweep off a floor? And what in the world is Quidditch? Yet despite the questions in her mind, she just remained quiet as she watch the blonde girl practically vibrate with excitement at the prospect awaiting them. She felt totally opposite. Unlike Mary, Marigold felt like she got even more lost at the new terminologies presented to her. Maybe it was just because of her upbringing, completely devoid of anything magical-related and now that she’s being thrust into this very same world, she was like standing in the middle of the battlefield with nothing but just her and her baggy pants and green fitted shirt. I should’ve read the entire textbooks instead of focusing on just Herbology. Her hazel eyes darted back to the newcomer as Mary asked about the hood. She find it a bit weird as well, but she kept her mouth shut. She knew well enough that people have their different ways of coping with shyness and awkwardness. While Mari just stumble and fumble with red face, the girl seemed to use hoods to at least keep her safe outside of her comfort zone. The tawny-haired girl only listened to the conversation until she heard Taryn’s question. Her head turned and saw the girl trying to actually open the window. “Why are we…?” Her question ended up unspoken in the air, her face a bit dumbfounded at the girl’s action, but she stood up almost immediately and lend a hand to Taryn. “W-Wait, is it okay… to open this, I mean?” she asked hesitantly as she tried to tug the panel back with hopes that it can fix the window’s angle that might’ve been misaligned slightly when the girl tried to slide it open. When it didn’t budge, her eyes blinked with her brows furrowing slightly before she tried again, her pull powered with a hint of insistence. But by the fourth try, she can only blink when it remained like that, not budging at her pull. “It’s… really stuck,” she commented with pursed lips, slightly worried. Her head turned to Mary and the newcomer, as if asking for some help. They won’t ask me to pay for this if we haven’t been able to fix this on time, right? |

Enora sighed a sigh of relief as she heard the answers It worked!! They forgot all about me and my strange looks! She also took notes of what they said- She knows about magic, she likes plants, And then they started opening the window How consiterent of them! But then her worst fear happened-“‘Course it can, but I suppose taking off yer hood could also help. What are ya hiding under it, anyways?” She asked about my hood-NOT my glasses so I won't have to worry about my eyes for now? then Enora did the one thing that she had never thought she would do, she removed her hood and in the process she pulled off her sunglasses as well. First it looked like Enora was just a normal everyday girl. But as her hood came off it revealed a shock of white hair- something that was ussually not seen in girls her age.The secound shock was that Enora's eyes-which had looked colorless with the sunglasses were an otherworldly white, silver foggy color. But as soon as Enora removed her hood and glasses she regretted it- I feel so exposed! But I must live with it now-there's no turning back now And before anyone else could get a word out she spoke in a quiet voice,almost a whisper- " My name is Enora Jane Leane Zephora Xeana Katie Quinn Victoria James, and yes, this is my natural look. Now that you know the truth about what I was hiding,feel free make fun of me, or ask questions or anything. Just please let me stay. And the window doesn't matter anymore Her last two sentances were so quiet that if anyone heard they would have had to strain to hear her.
