After a super uncomfortable discussion with her previous cabin mates Andrea decided she’d be a bit more open so as to prevent storming out. She took a deep breath walking down the aisle of the train. Full. Full. Full. Full. Every single compartment was full. How was that possible. It had been at best ten minutes since they departed. Were people that excited to go? Personally her feelings weren’t so much excitement but determination. She’d enter Slytherin. Be the best student there like her parents. If that meant she’d live alone with cats as acquaintances then so be it. Who needs friends? Success is forever while people can leave. She’d done fine on her own and she’d do fine alone for the rest of her life. She tried to distract herself by memorizing textbooks in her head but nothing stuck other than rudimentary charms. Even then she struggled was it flick and swish or swish and flick? Wrong choice and she’d end up setting her wand on fire. That was if she could produce magic anyway. The only thing she could make were bubbles. Bubbles! Oh dear. Now she started feeling nervous. What if she was a rare kind of squib and threw her out? What if she was a total failure? Ok relax. She told herself in her head. Nothing will happen. As she walked she found a compartment with only one person in it. “Is this seat taken?” She asked softly to the point of a whisper

You arrive in front of the KingCross station on foot because the broom would have been too conspicuous. Your parents and your little sister came to accompany you and your big sister. Odelia. It's a real plague! You were doing a lot of fun with people because you weren't afraid of being mocked. Who would have wanted to make fun of a Harrison? No one ! We are too big a family to be judged. You enter the Station. You blow your nose when you see so many muggles .. You do not like them, but you do with .. You arrive between platform 9 and 10. Your sister leaves first followed by you then your parents with your little sister. The platform is full. You poke the students who looked too muggle for you. But you followed her blows with sorry, you didn't want to create a problem. The train is coming. You kiss your parents and your little sister and get on the train with your trunk. You go take an empty cabin and privatize it. You say goodbye to your parents when you hear the train leaving. The train advances until finding itself outside the station, in a beautiful place. You hope it will be sunny all the time.
Some time had passed when you saw a head at the compartment door. You get up and go to the door and open it.

-You want to come ? Andrews Harrison delighted ..

He didn’t seem too bad. Then again first impressions aren’t much to go off of but he seemed nice. She’d been somewhat loosened up already so she thought what the hell and sat down across from him. “Thank you so much” she smiled politely. So much for loose. What do you say next? Ask him his name? Probably but what if he didn’t wanna talk? What if he figured he didn’t like her and sent her straight out to look for another cabin? She’d keep her mouth shut, but what if he wants to talk to her and decides she s too boring? What’s worse annoying or boring? She pondered the question before deciding to take the plunge. “Uh name. I mean what’s your name?” She asked with a hint of nervousness. Its not like she’d ever talked to someone her age before. Well there were the neighborhood kids but they weren’t close at all. Maybe that was partially her fault for ignoring them and calling them stupid. Yeah come to think of it that might be why she doesn’t have friends. She anticipated his answer hoping she hadn’t screwed everything up with a single question. Maybe it was insane to overthink but she couldn’t help it. It was in her nature.

The girl settled down with you. You close the door and sit back down after she has sat down. She had beautiful brown hair. And, surely hazel eyes but you do not distinguish too much. She seems hesitant. But she finally ends up speaking, she asks you for your first name. You didn't point out, but you just said it .. You say nothing and just answer ..

My name is Andrews. Andrews Harrison, pure blood family. Are you going back to your first year? What house do you want to go to?

The landscape was becoming more and more clear. You take out two chocolate frogs and two patacitrouille. You hand him one of each. The journey was going to be long. You also take out books, magazines, and put your trunk between you and her to act as a sort of table. You put magazines and candy on it.

- Help yourself if you want.

You smile at her .. She looks nice ... If she was born a witch or pureblood, she could become a nice friend. You were anxious to arrive. You knew a lot. Your sister told you about it. From common rooms to classrooms through the park. But, you were afraid of ending up in Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff. It's not that you don't like them, but that these houses are apparently boring.

She paused. He didn’t seem bothered. Well at least he wasn’t some grouchy loner. She listened as her asked for her name

“Andrea. Andrea Nunya. I’m a pure blood as well. It’s my first year I’ve never been to Hogwarts before.”

She responds simply. Not so hard. Besides he didn’t seem very threatening. She eyed the candy and smiled politely “Thank you” she grabs a few pieces. Realizing she hadn’t answered the last question she spoke again “Also the house I want to be in is Slytherin. What’s yours?” She asks. Maybe they’d be put in the same house. That would be fun. She could be on top of the school with him not far behind. Maybe even a mutually beneficial marriage in the future. Too much? Probably. Though she did like him. Not romantically though he was attractive. If she had to marry him there wouldn’t be serious complaints. He’s a pure blood. He’s amiable. Though is he smart? Maybe that’s relative considering she’s faked being smart her whole life.

She started to feel a certain nausea. She was talking to a boy alone. His hadn’t happened before. Feelings aside she’d never talked alone with someone before. Push came to shove she could always leave.

The girl wanted to go to Slytherin. You wanted to go either to Gryffindor or to Slytherin. The girl took a small handful of candy. You smile at him. You are quite charming with your smile.

-Either I would go to Gryffindor, or to Slytherin .. I have qualities that resemble them while Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff at all.

Your families were not strict on the houses. Your mother was in Gryffindor your father in Slytherin and your big sister like your mother. The only point you have with Ravenclaw is because you are a good student. Your mother made you class at home. You were strong. The girl looked weird. Like she was sick.

Do you have motion sickness?

The girl was weird but she seemed very nice. She was polite, a bit up in the air but you don't care. You hope to continue this future relationship at Hogwarts no matter where we live. You take out of your trunk a small realistic plastic rose. You make your charmer so much go to the end. You hand him the rose, smiling. You were in a white shirt. You put on your uniform to arrive. You add a tie and a cape. Calmly, you sit back down.

-This is for you this rose. As a sign of kindness!

Slytherin or Gryffindor huh? He seemed very Hufflepuff ish to her. First impressions can be misleading though so she didn’t think much of it.

“Gryffindor and Slytherin? Interesting, and kind of contradictory. Most want one and hate the other.” She commented

Her family always told her that it didn’t matter which house you got as long as you were the best there. She wanted Slytherin so badly because though Ravenclaws knew how to think smart Slytherins thought to win. She needed to win.

“I don’t think so. Not that I would know anyway this is my first time on a vehicle.”

It was a somewhat weird question but she knew she was acting weird. He probably noticed and assumed she was about to vomit. She should be so lucky. Instead she got chronic overthinking.

“Thank you. I’d say that’s very kind of you but that would be somewhat repetitive wouldn’t it?”

What a kind gesture. As she put on her tie and cape she pondered where the rose came from. Was she going around giving it to people who were nice? Oh well. A question for the ages I guess. It didn’t really matter anyway. He was a kind but strange kid. Perfect friend for another kind but strange kid
