Discovering a new world Closed

The day Momoji got her letter she didn't believe it was real she thought it was a prank so she tore the letter apart. and into the burn bin. When more and more kept arriving she didn't know what to do thinking whoever was pranking her was really making things get out of hand. Even causing her to leave the home she was currently in to go back to the group home. Then when a Hogwarts teacher arrived and showed her it was real. Momoji wasn't sure what to do going to a new school entering a new world? Well, it was a scary thought. But after some convincing and a lot of personal thought she decided to go. It would be better for her and it wasn't like anyone even wanted her there anyway.

Momiji didn't have a lot of time left she went shopping and got everything she needed alone then the next day she headed to the platform a suitcase with wheels and a backpack with her belongings. Her teddy bear strapped to her chest by a thing she made my hand so she didn't have to keep her bear stuffed away. She wasn't sure where the platform was and after asking and being laughed at before being told to go find her parents she just went and tried to find it on her own but as she stood by the wall staring at it and looking at the other walls with the other numbers a kind mom saw her and helped her understand how to get in. even sending in her older kids first so she had a demonstration She walked at first but as she got closer to the wall her nerves got the best of her and she closed her eyes running forward with a hand up.

Feeling a little shocked when she didn't hit a wall and was suddenly beside another train full of people hugging their children goodbye lots of tears from some kids and laughter from others. She thanked the woman when she was through before rushing to the train it seemed she was almost too late because the moment she stepped onto it started to move. She moved through the hallway looking into the different compartments seeing so many of them were full before finding one with only one other inside. "g-gomen-" she started to say before clearing her throat. "I-I mean s-sorry..." she bowed a little pulling her suitcase closer. "m-may I j-join you? everywhere else is full..." she looked a little scared like the girl would say no her hand moving to touch her bear's paw squeezing it as she held her breath for her answer.

Naomi was still deep in her thought and questioning. She had grabbed Hogwarts, A History to finally take a look at it. Those last days, she was so busy spending time with her closed one that she did not even think of reading all of those weird titles books. She was starting flipping the pages, reading diagonally to get a sense of where she was going. Until she heard a girl talk. The red hair girl did not understand her first word What is she talking exactly?

Until the dark hair girl finally started talking English. She just wanted to join Naomi. She looked at the strange girl, being slightly judgemental, especially at the teddy bear, and the afraid look on her face, but finally said:

" Hum, Yes sure. I'm Naomi by the way."

She did not want to appear mean or rude so she tried a weird smile, but finally dropped the idea as it seemed fake to her. She took a look at the book in her hand, but finally closed it to not look rude. She felt so strange to all of that, feeling already kind of scared about all that. What if she's the only one with no clue about magic?
Nevertheless, she felt a little bit better considering how much the small girl looked way more scared than Naomi.

Momiji looked a little relieved and walked inside. "I-I'm M-Momoiji," She said tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. She shifted her backpack off and put it on one of the benches then looked up at the luggage rack and down at her suitcase before sighing quietly. She moved and sat down before shifting the suitcase between her legs knowing there was no way she could get it up there the thing weighed a ton. When she was comfortable she looked up at the girl "A-Are you n-new too?" she asked. Judging by her looks she looked to be about Momiji's age but then again she knew looks to be deceiving when no one believed seemed to believe that she was eleven herself. She knew she was pushing herself to be a little social considering they were about to be on a long train ride together she didn't want this girl to be mad at her. She bit her lip holding her bear closer as she glanced at the book Naomi had out. Her expression turned curious it looked like the book she had started to read the night before. She had to think for a moment to remember where she had left off. She mostly just remembered how much of what she had read. Didn't make much sense to her at all.

The girl presented herself as Momoji, which Naomi got curious about where it was from, it sounded Asiatic, but she could not tell where exactly. And as a matter of fact, she did not really care. She was not feeling comfortable in front of this girl, she seemed.... too innocent, perfect, calm. She seemed the opposite of Naomi. Nevertheless, she remembered her mother telling her to not judge a book on its cover, and it was true that first impressions could be wrong, but still...

" Nice to meet you" she said automatically, by habits.

Naomi noticed that the girl could not put her suitcase up, she hated to ask that but she felt like she had to:

" Do you need any help with that?"

She pointed to the suitcase that was sitting between Momoji's legs. Naomi just felt like staying like that for the whole ride would become quickly annoying for the dark-haired girl. She also looked interesting in the book sitting on Naomi's lap, she just guessed she had it too, as they had to buy it. Thinking about this book, she remembered a story about Houses, she was really confused about it, apparently, they would be sorted. She did not know how, neither where she would go. She was not particularly brave, except on few occasions, nor smart, nor friendly, nor arrogant. It was a mystery to her.

Momiji glanced down before her cheeks pinkened slightly. "I-its okay i d-don't want to b-be an inconvenience..." she said quietly. she paused but it could be one like this... she thought to herself. "b-but... i-it would be appreciated..." she said shifting she put her bear down where she had been sitting before moving she wasn't quite sure how to go about putting it up there. Would they both be able to handle it? She thought about getting on top of one of the seats to try but she didn't want to risk getting the seats all dirty either. She didn't want to get in trouble.

It was a bit of a struggle to get it up there Momiji didn't feel like she did much at all. In fact, she felt mostly in the way as she stood on her tiptoes and barely touched her suitcase with her fingertips as they pushed it up there. She stumbled forward into Naomi before stepping back. "G-Gomen," she said again before biting her lip. "I m-mean I'm sorry..." she looked a little flustered She really wasn't used to talking to people she didn't know... She wasn't used to talking to people she did.

As she sat again mostly to get out of Naomi's way, she took hold of her bear looking down at her feet as they hung off the edge. "I-i..." she started. "I-i don't mean to talk to you i-in another l-language," she said looking up at her. She had noticed the look she had no clue what she was saying and she hated doing that to anyone. Having experienced it enough herself." I-i'm just... n-nervous and w-when I get n-nervous I s-slip up...." Her voice trailed off and a deep sadness filled her eyes. "I... I don't r-really k-know why i-i'm even h-here... g-going to this s-school..." she said even quieter looking out the window. She was mostly talking to herself with those last few words.

Naomi was putting the suitcase on top, mostly all herself, but she appreciated Momoji's attempt to help her. She was thankful at this moment to be sportive and having some kind of muscles in the arms. And... she apologized... again. That was starting to get on Naomi's nerves, especially since she was saying sorry for what? Existing?

" You don't need to apologize as much, especially when you're doing nothing wrong."

Then, weirdly, the black-haired girl explained that she was mostly acting like that because of nervosity, something Naomi could relate to, totally. She felt some kind of empathy at the moment Momoji explained to her that she did not even know why she was going to Hogwart. At those words, the red-haired girl started to soften up a little bit.

" Y'know, I didn't even know 'bout magic a few months ago, so, I get it. But that's what's happening. Like what, would you prefer being in a non-magical school, knowing that you have the ability to do magic? Seems like a waste of talents if you want my opinion."

Even though Naomi seemed calm, she was excited to discover all about this universe, and yeah scared, but she refused to let this emotion getting the best of her.

Momoji almost started to say she was sorry for saying sorry but she didn't She was remembering she apologized a lot especially at home and in the group home. She always felt in the way and that she was bothering people. But when you're told to move you are in my way a lot by big kids. She let the thought drift off as she listened to Naomi speak. "To be honest i didn't b-believe the letter... I T-Thought it was a t-trick or a prank by some b-big kids from my school... it wasn't until a teacher from Hogwarts came and told me... Showed me magic that i b-believed..." she said a little sheepishly. "i didn't decide until a f-few days ago... went to g-get my stuff yesterday a-actually s-so..." trailed off looking down. Her fingers petting the bear's stomach. She looked sad again. Her mind going back to her parents and how her mother said something like that too. That she shouldn't waste her talents. That she should go out and use those talents for whatever she wanted to do in the world. Now that magic was open to her she wondered what she could do with magic for the world.

As the girl's voice trailed off, the compartment's door suddenly slammed open before the ginger could reply. Standing there was Lillian, holding her books to her chest and her trunk in her hand. She looked down at the two girls, a judgemental expression on her face. She was not judging the girls exactly, that just seemed to be her natural resting face. "Hello," she began. Her accent was extremely prominent although it seemed rather posh, "I was wondering if I could join you. The last compartment I was in was full of loud and annoying people, this seems a lot calmer." She waited for a response from either of the girls she saw before her. She did hope that her face was blank instead of disgusted or uninterested, but alas it was not, and she looked as though she felt above the girls.

Her jet-black wavy hair fell down her back effortlessly, her bangs framing her round face. Her cheeks were pinker than usual as she was wearing her brown sweater vest and she was feeling warm although she was never bothered enough to take it off. Her white skirt matched the t-shirt she had on underneath and long white socks along with smart leather shoes that made her slightly taller than she already was. She looked like she was already ready for school, just with a slightly different uniform.

@Momoji Mikoto @Naomi Joh

A prank? Naomi found that strange, but the girl was overall strange from Naomi's point of view. Then another girl came in, she looked so confident. Naomi nodded while saying:

" Yes for sure, make yourself comfortable. Hum, I'm Naomi and this is Momoji." Pointing to the other girl.

She knew she shouldn't have presented Momoji without asking first, but she did not want to lose time on stupid things like that. Noami had a fun thought that crossed her mind: Momoji was very expressive, on the other hand, the girl that just came in almost had no expressions showing on her face. She kept that for herself, concealing a smile.

She looked down at her book before putting it back in her bag. The odds weren't in her favor for her to finish reading it. Oh well, she'll just be discovering Hogwart when she'll be there.

She had a question for the two girls:

" Oh, and are there any houses you hope to be sorted in? I mean that seems like a big deal."

She remembered overhearing discussions at Diagon Alley about those houses. Some parents were even expecting their kids to go to the same as them. This whole thing seemed foreign to the muggle-born.
