September 1st 2023
Emiline had all of her belongings, and her family were right behind her. She quickly gave her mum and dad a hug and said "I love you guys. See you in the summer!" She had to stay at hogwarts because her dad had to go abroad for work and her mum was working extra. This is because Emiline's family wasn't too well off with money. They had enough to get through the years but they could never afford nice things like a holiday. The idea of going somewhere else than London excited Emiline because she had never left her hometown.
She quickly hurried onto the train, dragging her belonging behind her. The first carriage was full of people who went silent when she came in. Right..... Not this carriage then. she thought. The next carriage had older years in, which could have been okay, but Emiline thought it would be best if she left them be. This carried on, passing though several carriages. Finally after some time, Emiline found an empy carriage near the back of the train. She settled down, tucking away her belongings out of sight.
Then she remembered that she should wave goodbye to her parents and sister. She hurried over to the window on the station side and opened it. "Bye guys! I'll write loads. Miss you! she yelled with a grin on her face. Her family waved goodbye, Emiline blew her sister a kiss and tucked her head back into the train. Excited for the trip, she sat down. She was surprised by how comfy the seats were.

Quinn hugged her little brother.
"I love you Sean, see you at christmas."
"But that's so far away!" He moaned. Quinn smiled.
"I'll write every day!" Quinn let go and then waved by to her mum and dad.
"Quinn wait!" Quinn's older sister hugged her goodbye. Quinn waved goodbye and shouted a last "Bye" Quinn ran onto the train and tried to find a empty compartment. Sighing, Quinn noticed one with nobody in it. Sitting down Quinn pulled a book from her trunk and started to read, or tried to. A small part of a bag was poking out.
There must be someone else here. Quinn relized. Shrugging her shoulders Quinn started to read again. Soon a girl about her age walked in. She had dark hair and rosy cheeks. Quinn looked up from her book as the girl sank into the seat across from her. Quinn smiled and put her book down. I guess I should introduce myself. Quinn thought.
"umm. Uh. Hi, I'm Quinn. Nice to meet you, er I guess." Quinn mentally kicked herself at how pathetic she had sounded. I couldn't think of anything better to say then uh. She thought annoyed.
"So um... what's your name?" Quinn tried to sound less pathetic, she didn't want this girl thinking she was terrible at making friends. Quinn closed her book and smiled again.
"Sooooo. What house do you think you'll be in?" Quinn asked trying a stab at conversation.
"I hope I'm in slytherin. Or ravenclaw. My mum was in ravenclaw. My mum's side goes back tree-I mean three generations of magic." Quinn inwardly groaned. She had let her irish accent get the better of her again.

Emiline was watching the people bustle around in the station. it was always interesting seeing how different people acted around their families. One person was bawling their eyes out while another stood stiffly while their dad patted his shoulder. She then heard someone taking, sorry introducing themselves.
"Hiya Quinn. I'm Emiline Hunter, and I think I might be Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff."She replied quickly. Emiline had a knack of hearing people even if her head was in the clouds. She stood up and walked towards where the girl was sat. She noticed that the girl pulled a face after she tripped up on her words. She must be embarrassed, errr how to comfort her? Make a joke? I know. She thought. "I love your Irish accent! I wish I could do one, I did drama in my old school and I could never get it right." She smiled. She plonked herself down next to Quinn and easily started a conversation as if they had know each other for years. "So, what book are you reading? What genre is it? Is is dystopian? Ooh I love dystopian books. (Pause) Sorry I'm talking lots and not letting you speak."
Emiline gave a friendly smile and waited for Quinn to reply.

The girl replied quickly to Quinn. Emiline? That's a very pretty name. Quinn thought. I hope I'm not in huffelpuff, mum might kill me. Quinn looked at EMiline again. Quinn smiled as Emiline said that she loved Quinn's accent.
"Thanks, I learned english when I was younger but irish is still my first language." Emiline kept going. She sure knows how to talk to people. Quinn thought.
"Oh, its fine, I talk a lot to." Quinn smiled.
"Right now I'm reading "the tales of beetle the bard". It's fun to read and now I appriciate it even more because I am goin gto hogwarts." Quinn thought for a moment.
"What book are you reading currently? Also have you read this book before?" Quinn wondered how many people would be half-blood at hogwarts. Quinn loved her dad but he was at work direction plays a lot. Her mum was always there for her magical and non-magical needs. Her dad was only there for her non-magical needs part of the time. I certainly still miss him though. Quinn thought. The train suddenly lurched forward and started moving forward. This is it, I'm really going to hogwarts! Quinn thought. Quinn watched through the window as the train went faster and faster, fields rushing past.

Quinn thanked Emiline for the compliment and asked her what book she is reading and if she had read 'The Tales of Beadle and Bard'. Emiline made a small frown, "No, I don't think I have read it but it sounds familiar. Ohh, I remember. My older sister read it. She refused to stop reading it so she finished it in two sittings." There was a pause while Emiline glanced out the window, "I'm in the middle of the Percy Jackson books." she said this with a quieter voice.
The reason she had turned her head to face the window was because she had felt like she was about to cry. My sister should be here. Why does she not have magic? This is so unfair. I get to go to a magic school and she's stuck in the muggle world. Emiline allowed herself five second to get herself together.
Suddenly the train lurched forwards and began to gain speed. Due to Emiline's heritage of growing up in the muggle world, she barely noticed the train move. What she noticed was that the station had changed to the cityscape of London. She blinked her tears away and faced Quinn. Stop. Pull yourself together. Stop being a wuss.Emiline gave a small smile. Off to hogwarts. Focus on the positives.

Don't worry about it! 
Emiline frowned a little. That sounds like me. Quinn thought as Emiline talked about her older sister. Oh-I love percy jakson! Quinn thought.
"Really? Which one?" Quinn asked enthusiasticly. Then she noticed that she looked a little down. Oh, her sister must not have magic. Quinn thought. She compleatly understude that. Her older sister didn't get her's till age 12. So she didn't go to hogwarts. Quinn sighed.
"I wish my older sister was coming to hogwarts." Quinn heard someone say. Suprisingly it was herself.
"Unless you don't want to talk about that..." Quinn trailed of as Emilne wiped tears off her face and turned back to Quinn.
"Hogwarts is hopefully going to be really fun!" Quinn said as the train moved forward. She looked out the window just for something to do. I really hope Sean gets his magic before it's to late. Quinn thought. She was already missing her family and she had barely said goodbye.
"Do you know anybody who is going to hogwarts-like any friends?" Quinn asked.
"I know someone-Valerie. She's really nice." Quinn smiled as she thought of her friend.
The land outside the train was moving quickly by. Quinn wondered what time they would get there. Quinn looked back at Emiline. Maybe i'll make a friend out of this. Quinn thought hopefully.

Emiline smiled when Quinn showed enthusiasm for reading. Not many people love reading. " I'm reading The Trails Of Apollo," she said. She was thankful for Quinn, she offered a ear if Em wanted to talk about her sister. Emiline noted in her head that Quinn is her friend now and she knew her. Please remember brain. Nothing is worse than someone knowing your name and you are just standing there like.... sorry who are you again..... Remember QUINN is my friend. she thought
Quinn changed the subject which Em was grateful for, she didn't want to talk out any deep stuff now. She took over the conversation and was explaining that she knew someone before Hogwarts. "Yeah, I met Simon Kincaid in Diagon Alley. He is a hufflepuff prefect." She paused. "What is Valerie like? And what does she look like?" Emilie gave a friendly smile.
Her eyes followed Quinn, she looked out the window. Emilie was surprised by how far the train had gone in such a small period of time. I wonder when we get changed into our school robes? Well I'll just ask an older year if I don't know when we are closer to Hogwarts! She pondered.

Quinn smiled at Emiline's enthusiasm for books. Emiline seems pretty nice. Quinn thought. A prefect! Wow that's cool! Quinn thought at Emiline's metion of the boy she met in diagon alley.
"Valerie is really nice. She has bright red hair and brown eyes. I met her in a shop back home." Quinn said explaining where she met her best friend. I hope she doesn't think I am weird. Quinn thought.
"When do you think we should change into our robes? My mum said something about a trolley witch giving us sweets. Maybe after that happens?" Quinn asked Emiline. Quinn looked out the window and got a jolt of suprise. The train had moved quite a long way from the orginal position. Quinn tugged on her hair-a nervous habit that she was trying to drop. Quinn tried to calm herself down. She sometimes got nervous when talking to new people even though her mum said she was a social butterfly. Quinn turned to Emiline.
"The trials of Apollo was good." Quinn noted. Quinn stopped tugging on her hair and gave waht she hoped was a friendly smile to Emiline. Quinn took a deep breath and watched as he land flew past the window.

After telling Quinn about Simon, she started telling her about Valerie. Emiline could tell that Quinn is a very close friend with Valerie. Quinn described how she met her in a shop back home. I wonder which shop? Muggle or Wizard Society?... She thought. Emiline wondered if she should ask Quinn what blood-status she and her family are. But then she realised that a pureblood might not understand the wonders of Rick Riordan. So, she is a muggle-born or a half-blood. Cool, i wonder what it must be like to come from a family with no magic. Do you just have to explain everything to your parents? Emiline quickly snapped back into the train and immediately apologised. "Sorry, I got a bit carried away in my thoughts. I was wondering whether you were a half-blood, pure-blood or muggle-born." She explained. "Don't worry, I'm not one of those people who judge people on their blood type. I'm just curious"
She then heard Quinn ask about when they should get changed into their school robes."I think I'll ask one of the older years in one of the other train compartments after the trolley witch comes and goes."Emiline replied. "But i think you get changed after the trolley witch leaves your train compartment.
Emiline then noticed that Quinn was pulling at her hair, being the people reader she is, she realised that Quinn was nervous. I wonder why?She thought. Emiline walked over to her bag and pulled out a striped bag. Inside were muggle sweets. She walked back over to Quinn and offered her some sweets. "Do you want some muggle sweets, they are delicious"

Quinn turned herself back to Emiline. Smiling, she answered her question.
"Don't worry about it, I'm half-blood. If you don't mind me asking what are you? I don't really care." Quinn responded. I wonder if there are lots of half-bloods? Is she one? Quinn thought.
"That sounds like a good idea." Quinn replied to Emiline's comment. Quinn noticed Emiline watching her and quickly dropped her hand from her hair, giving Emiline a definitely-not-nervous smile.
"I-sure Emiline, thanks a lot." Quinn responded looking in the bag. OOH. Twix, I like those. Quinn thought. Quinn put her hand into the bag and pulled it out.
"Thanks, I don't know why muggle sweets aren't wizard sweets. Seems absurd to me." Quinn said, taking the rapper off. Quinn felt a pang of guilt. I don't have anything for her. I hope she doesn't expect me to have anything. Quinn hoped she didn't look too worried, she also hoped that she didn't look ungrateful. Quinn gave Emiline a smile that she hoped said everything she didn't dare say out loud.
"So, what is your favorite candy?" Quinn asked Emiline, trying to sound normal. Quinn looked out the window again while she waited for her hopefully new friend's response.
