A Chaotic Meeting
❂━━━━━❂━━━━━❂━━━━━❂
What were the chances that the two of them where the same age ? "No way like you say ! I genually thought you were older." It literally made Dove her day, not that it wasn't before, but she was easily intimidated when knowing people were older than her. So, now that she knew Rafal and her were the same age, she was feeling a bit more confident. "Okay, cool ! Well i'm in Raven- Oh." She realised she was wearing her blue uniform. She looked around her, avoiding him, as if she hadn't say anything, and crossed her legs, nodding at what Rafal just said. He wasn't the kind of guy going unnoticed, if she had seen him before, she would have definitly recognised him. "Yeah me neither."
She giggled at the idea of "fate" which reunited them for this special moment. It was true that if he didn't pass by Dove's compartment, there was a good chance she would still be trying to find an idea to get the freaking snail-pot out of this room. "Well, I don't really believe in fate but I guess I'm lucky you were there when I was facing the Thing." The Ravenclaw looked outside the window. She realised last year that she was fascinated by how the landscapes were scrolling through the glass panel, slightly going up and down as the train was moving. She had never took the train before going to Hogwarts. Her and her family were using magical means of transports. The Hogwarts Express was the first "muggle" thing (of course it wasn't, but it looked very alike from what she had heard) she had ever approached.
She moved her head to meet Rafal's face. "What kind of wizard are you ?" She imidiatly blushed at how weird and offensive her question was. "I- I mean, are you a pure blood, or muggle born or... Well you get it." Her cheeks were still burning, but she was actually very curious about that. Not that it would change anything about how she was seeing Rafal, for now, but if she had grown up it some muggle world, or rules, she'd like to learn more about that. " 'Cause well I don't know many things about muggles so." She hoped it would sort of explain such question.

A Chaotic Meeting
Rafal cannot help but smirk at Dove’s words. "You got that right!" he states, somewhat puffed-up. "It’s just what I do, rescuing helpless bunglers left and right. I’m like a modern Harry Potter, but with perfect eyesight." He pauses, then adds hastily, "Pre-incarceration, of course."
The outside world flies by beside them, a kaleidoscope of colours and sights. The train hums along the tracks, steady and ceaseless. It is all rather cathartic, and as the Slytherin’s mind slowly lolls into a haze, he feels his head gradually droop, heavy, against the compartment window.
Peering out under drooping eyelids into the fuzzy green blur (either a field or giant killer turtle, though at this point, who knows?), Rafal distantly muses how lovely it is to have met this Ravenclaw girl, albeit one who is doubtless the only eagle that can manage to produce a spell whose effects are so far from the standard 'flawless' those blue peeps make seem so easy. The general consensus amongst the snakes is, that entire house is utterly kooky, the whole lot of them.
Rafal startles out of his fog as a question is directed his way. He jolts, forehead jerking from the cool glass and straightening. Turning so that he is facing Dove, the twelve-year old frowns at the girl as he quickly smooths down his rather rumpled clothing. "Uh, what?" What had she just asked him? Luckily, he manages to discern the basic idea from Dove’s continued nervous ramblings.
"Oh! I’m uh, a pure-blood," he shoots Dove a sheepish smile. "I know, pretty boring. I’m afraid I’m quite hopeless when it comes to anything Muggle as well, so the most I can offer is cheerleading support if you decide to delve into that whole matter." And then, of course, the reciprocation. "What about you? Pure, half-blood, I presume?"

Dove had somehow expected to be more disappointed when hearing Rafal's answer. She believed she would have been a bit frustrated hearing he was a pure blood, since she had this big curiosity for muggles. But her heart squeezed a little at the boy's embarrased smile, she started to feel bad due to her useless question. "It was only for curiosity. I hope you don't assume I'm gonna kick you out the compartment 'cause you've got a wizard family." She joked, hoping it would relax the atmosphere a bit. Not that it was tensed, but it wasn't the time for misunderstandings.
"Oh hum, not really a pure-blood, I know my grandma's a muggle-born. But I don't know her parents so, I couldn't have asked all my questions to them." A smirked shaped her face after her sentence. "I think it's better for 'em, it might have been annoying at some point. Not for me of course." She didn't dare asking more questions, since her last one was undeniably weird, so she just looked at the window. It wasn't perfectly all clean, but she liked those imperfections. It made her travel more real, other students had sit at her place years, decades before her. Each one having different stories. It made her remember about what had happened, maybe an hour ago ? She had lost track of time. Was the Thing still out there ? Waiting for the two second years to open that door ? She knew she wouldn't be very confortable if she couldn't answer that question.
"Hum, Rafal, do you think it's still next to the door ?" She didn't need to specify what she was talking about, she believed the boy would understand perfectly who it was. Because, they were safe for now, in their confy sits, just chilling and learning about eachother. But what would happen once they arrived at the castle ? Will they get into troubles if the snail-teapot met someone else ? Or would it wait for them to leave ? Or maybe it had grown other tentacles. She shuddered at that thought. She maybe should have forgotten about it.
