Hogwarts Express, it was the train called. Obvious as its name. Good. At least Millie didn't have to look around here and there searching for which train should she hoped in. With her trunk in hand, she followed along another children to the train as the conductor said it is nearly time to depart.

Stepping inside the train, she felt ... so lost. It is indeed her first experience travel alone without her parents, to the wizarding world no less. She has no clue what wizarding world will look like. Once her father told her that she's not the first generation wizard born within their family, that's honestly just lifted her worrisome only a bit slightly. It was far ahead. Her great-grandfather. Passed away long time ago even before her parents met each other. To whom, then, she could asked about the upcoming life she will face soon after this train arrived to its destination? No one. She has nothing as her clue. She is blind about what this future life of hers.

She gulped down her anxiousness back down to her stomach, while her hand reaching for the remaining empty compartment's slide door she could occupy as the journey going on. She can still clearly hear the laughter and excited retelling from another compartment from hers. Alas, she once again gone blank with her nervousness and just sat there on the cozy cushioned burgundy bench. Her fingers mindlessly fidgeting around the pocket journal her father gave her when they parted ways at the King's Cross Station. She slowly unbuttoning the coat her mother put it on her, folded it neatly, and put it on the vacant spot beside her. She let out a quite long exhale, wondering if there were another passenger getting inside her compartment.

Shaking her head, Millie pulled out one of her books she brought inside her satchel. Hoping if she let her mind swam to the book, the nervousness that so stubbornly clinging to her would slowly begone or forgotten. But even after few pages read, not a single word of what she read sank in to her head. In the contrary, her stomach started to churned. Her nervousness became overwhelming.

At that time, that thought to just get off and go back home come to her mind. But too bad, the long horn started to rumbling as she felt the train begin its journey. At the same time, the door of her compartment slid open and there was a person stood there looking at her. A student, just like her.

The train shuddered a little underfoot as it began to speed up, the regular beat of its wheels becoming like a second heart beating in time. All around him, the compartments were buzzing with activity such as laughter, conversation, children already talking as if they had known each other their whole lives. It was a comfortable kind of disarray, a beginning’s disarray.

But Evander found himself walking just a bit farther. The bag hanging off his shoulder contained nothing but a few books that his mother was sure he “would surely appreciate by the time of the feast" along with a pack of shortbread that she had surreptitiously put into it, without telling him. He could smell the woodsy smell of cedar in his woollen coat, something that made leaving behind his family a little easier.

He finally stopped when he found yet another compartment. The door was not closed all the way. Through the sliver, he saw a girl alone on the burgundy seat with a book in her hands. But there was something about the fact that her eyes were fixed on the same page for slightly too long and the way her fingers nervously played with the page.

She obviously needed order in everything around her even if she could not make herself organized. It was easy to understand how she felt. Going away from the house seemed much easier from the platform then once the train was in motion. Lifting his hand, he knocked on the door twice in a very polite manner and slid it open enough to take a peek inside.

"I hope I'm not disturbing you." There was warmth in his voice that was not found anywhere else in the corridor because of the loud self-assurance that filled it. "I have had a little difficulty finding an empty compartment." His eyes traveled to the empty seat and then back to her with apologetic smile. "Can I join you? I assure you that I'm fairly quiet." The smile became a little broader and slightly sheepish.

"Though I can't promise the trolley witch won't eventually tempt me into buying far more sweets than anyone ought to eat in a single nine hour train journey."

———It was a boy. His calm demeanor and from how he spoke with such elegant and comforting tone make her thinks that he might be person she never or couldn't even think had a change to met before. Maybe a rich noble, or the Prince she never knew about.

———Have no other choice to just send him away after that polite request, Millie nod her head, barely let out a hoarse whisper, "Sure," and reflexively shifted her position closer to the window even if there is still much space to the boy sit on it.

———I hope I'm not looked strange enough, she thought as Millie looking at the boy who's now entering the compartment. But how to defined 'strange' in the sense of school for wizards itself as if my acceptance isn't funny enough?

———I mean, I can asked him by myself, yes. Maybe his family is pure wizards, that he probably knew what I'm not, she still pondering. But is it appropriate to asked such a question to the person you just met?

———Sighing, she slowly shake her head with that thought of hers, make it get out of her mind. She closed her book on her lap and reach the satchel she put beside her on the bench. When she just intended to put back the book inside, her eyes met a yellow container that slipped out of her mind.

———Once Millie opened the lid, she smiled and remembered that her Ma mentioned how she prepared this snack for her journey. Not much, but it is Millie's favorite: choco chip cookies and fresh berries which easy to find not far from her house. As if her previous anxiety just poofed out to the thin air and never being there in the first place, Millie munched on the cookie while also offering her snacks to her compartment-mate.

———"You want some?"
