If you told Achlys that she would be on a train heading to a magical boarding school, she'd politely tell you that you're barmy with a fake smile on her face. While heading into the train she bumped into a fellow first year and apologized, she apologized and stated that it was her fault. Lie. She was watching where she was going and the student was too busy talking to their friend to pay attention, these days lies roll off her tongue so easily but they taste horrible like pudding left out in the sun for too long. She walked confidently toward the compartment closest to the restroom and gently pushed the door open, she hummed happily as she saw that it was empty. As she settled into her new compartment her butterflies decided to make themselves apparent and delicately place themselves onto safe spots located on her dress, while Elsibeth and Eve cling onto her healthily thin index finger. Her lips unintentionally turn into a pout as she allows herself to get lost in her thoughts about what she sees, the compartment is neither hot nor cold and certainly not too dirty but she is miffed that she decided to wear a lightly colored dress. She can hear the sounds of chatter outside of the compartment and she can hear the thudding of loud footsteps as a student or students rush to their destinations albeit very loudly. She grins as she remembers what her sister told her just before she got onto the train, Excuse my vulgar language but give them hell Achlys, very much more supportive than what her father told her. She rolls her eyes, her parents never did know how to express their feelings. Her unused hand gets a harsh sting as if it's hurt making her look down at it unsettled as she sees half-moon shapes and blood rushing out of her hand. She doesn't flinch as she wipes it on the white handkerchief covering her journal, this has been happening way too often for comfort. She zones out as she looks out of the window and slowly drifts in and out of consciousness, before finally falling into a dreamless slumber but she is still a very light sleeper and will jump up at any time or moment.

Elisa hurried down the train corridor, worried that she wouldn't be able to find a place. The Hogwarts Express was already moving. She looks from compartment to compartment, but they were almost all filled with older students, chatting merrily with their old friends. There were also a few people her age, but again they had already made friends. Elisa wanted a compartment with only one person, possibly a first year, with whom she would be able to make friends with.

She was getting desperate as she got nearer to the end of the train, but just as she was about to turn back, she saw a friendly looking blond girl alone in a compartment, apparently fast asleep. To her astonishment, she saw a few beautiful butterflies gently resting on the girl's lap. Her hand hesitated on the door knob. What if she doesn't like me?, Elisa asked herself, What if she wakes up and gets angry about me coming without asking? What if she doesn't wake up at all and I have to stay quiet all through the ride... She took a few deep breath, and told herself that this was her only chance to make a new friend on the train.

Her hand reached for the door knob and gently slid open the compartment door.

Achlys was awoken by the sound of the compartment door being opened, her eyes all but shot open out of panic but she relaxed she seen the harmless-looking person that opened the door. She has long dark brown hair and hazel brown eyes, she looked like a harmless puppy but Achlys had to restrain herself from messing with the girl's seemingly soft hair. She fixed a friendly smile onto her face to signal that she means no harm and hoped that the girl would understood, her butterflies flew to the compartment's newest arrival and practically leered at her curiously. Achlys just lets out a gentle laugh, "I think they like you. They usually don't leer at people but you must have a kind heart, I'm Achlys Bellerose and who might you be?" Achlys may as well be one of the butterflies the way she leered at the girl, the girl leered only for a moment before she realized the girl must be uncomfortable. Her mother always said she should hide her curiosity better but Achlys is still only a kid and kids can be curious. She fiddled with the necklace around her neck as she gets anxious, does she come off a spoiled to her, a voice in her head cuts in, Calm down, you've only just met her, an opinion can't form based off of a few words. She takes a few subtle deep breaths and her eyes flutter open with more friendliness than before, her eyes fix intently on the brown haired girl in front of her as she awaits her answer.

Elisa's heart pondered, unable to decide what to say. She stared at the cute little butterflies as they stared back to her, or at least it seemed it was what these curious creatures were doing. She hadn't truly admired them, she wondered, after all the time spent out in the nature, she realised she never paid much attention to butterflies. It was the first time one actually came this close to her. They had stunning wings with beautiful colours. Then, a question came to her mind. Are these the girl's butterflies? How could they be so tame as to become pets for her? She must have extraordinary powers to control them as such!

Taking her eyes off the butterflies, Elisa looked at the girl in the compartment. She was now wide awake, and Elisa was amazed by those shimmering blue eyes staring back at her. Staring back at her. She felt her cheeks grow hot, and fidgeted a little nervously on her feet. Elisa asked cautiously, "Can I sit here?" Her heart hammered again, not knowing what else to say. She realised that her trunk was still outside the compartment. "If-if it doesn't bother you, I'll carry my trunk inside.", she mumbled. "But of course, I can always go and find another place..."
