Here Goes Nothing
Olivia laughed with Morgan. Olivia had been called many things in her short life, but "violent" was not one of them.
Olivia listened intently as Morgan shared her story of not finding her favorite toy. She wanted to ask what kind of toy a "blackwidow spiderfigurine" was, but didn't want to interrupt. Morgan seemed to trail off after mentioning her mother. Olivia wasn't sure what to make of that, but as she took breath to respond, she felt the train lurch gently. They were off! Olivia returned Morgan's smile, hoping they would have a good journey together.
Olivia was startled by a boy's voice at the compartment door. He was asking if he could sit with them. Olivia returned Morgan's look of he looks alright to me. Olivia's red hair swayed as she turned back to the boy, taking the breath to invite him in, but he was talking again.
"No, please, join us Piper." Olivia gave her biggest smile yet. More people! Granny will be so proud when I owl her about this! "I'm Olivia Stewart, it's nice to meet you. And yeah, we're first years." Olivia turned her smile to Morgan, hoping she didn't mind answering the question for them both.

Olivia stifled the giggle of nerves she felt coming up her throat. It would be rude to be seen giggling at the boy's ramblings."I'm Piper, by the way. Piper Sanchez. First year. Are you first years? You look like first years. I mean, no offence if you aren't- you don't look that young. I just kind of assumed." Piper finally managed to stop himself talking as his mind caught up to what he was saying. "Um. Should I go, or..?"

Here Goes Nothing
"Sweet, thanks!" Piper plopped down on the plush seat, unable to contain a delighted smile. It looked like his luck was finally turning around. He waited for the other girl to introduce herself before continuing.
Happy that everything was sorted out now, Piper gave himself a moment to relax with a contented sigh. "This is so cool. We're on a literal steam train." He gazed around at their surroundings. It was only a simple compartment, but it was strangely charming.
Ooh. Charming. He'd have to use that later.
"So, what's up with you guys? What kind of stuff do you want to do when we get there? I'm pretty pumped for charms, myself, though it sounds hard as heck."
Piper was making an effort to talk about wizard-y things. This was the first time he'd ever been able to talk to people his own age about magic, and he was determined to make the most of it, even with Wilde's masterpiece peeking halfway out of his bag and screaming to be read.
A thought suddenly occured to him as he watched London blur into a collage of fields and countryside out the window. He rummaged around in his jacket pocket for a moment, brow furrowed, before he triumphantly pulled out a small bag. "Oh, hey, I have some mini brownies left over from Costa. You want some? I had a tonne of hot chocolate earlier, so I'm good without 'em."
