Charles had his hand on his trunk, as he thought. Its already been a while since the train left, and he already missed his parents so much. Then he remembered something his mother said before she finished packing his trunk. " You know just because you think you know what in here. It does not mean you won't be surprised if you look into it. " She said.
So Charles opened up his trunk and looked at it. Nicely folded robes he needed for Hogwarts were on the top. He carefully lifted them up and placed them next to him. Just like he thought all the books he needed for school were there. But he found a book about Hogwarts, this surprised Charles quit a bit. Cause his mother always sorted books from A-Z. And all the other books were in order when he looked.
He lifted up the book and gasped at what he saw underneath it. His mother knew he loved the Percy Jackson books, and there it was. The second book in the " Trials of Apollo " series. That came after " The Heros of Olympus " series. He quickly picked up the book and saw the correct spot for the Hogwarts book. So he placed the book back, and the robes. But he left the " Trials of Apollo " book out of the trunk.
He carefully closed the trunk and made sure it was secured before he opened up the " Trials of Apollo " book. He grabbed the book and let his hand get used to the way it felt. The book had a hardcover, and Charles loved hardcovers. He hated softcovers cause they always ended up bending. And that usually bent the pages. And Charles got super annoyed when a book had bent pages. He then opened up the book and began reading.

As there was the soft humming of the train, Jo ran into the only compartment that didn't seem to be full. Out of breath, she asked "Can - I - sit - here?" She asked as she stood in the doorway of the compartment. "all others are filled" she added, she looked around and as she saw his book her face slightly lit up. She also Loved Percy Jackson, she read all the Percy Jackson Books her Muggle School had to offer. As she raised her view from the books she saw the Londons view flash by, and ented the countryside. She didn't have her trunk on her, she had given it up as she boarded the train, and as they told her, she would get it in her room when she arrived. Her Clothes looked old and worn, Her socks seemed to be pressing into her skin, her hair was tied up, she looked like any other muggle girl with a poor family would. She closed the door after her as she realized that this person was probably someone with wizarding heritage, so there was a slight wave of intimidation rushing over her. This room was nicely decorated and the sky outside was grey and weary. She put her hand out. "My Name is Josette, Josette Rutledge, I hope we meet at Hogwarts" she said giving him a watery smile

Charles looked up when he heard the door to the compartment open. He looked at who entered and they did not have their trunk. The person who entered was a girl with red hair, which made Charles surprised that was a fashion statement. Her Clothes looked old and worn, Her socks seemed to be pressing into her skin, her hair was tied up, she looked like any other muggle girl with a poor family would. Charles put his book down and thought. But she might just be a half-blood and Charles was fine with half-bloods. Charles did not realize she was talking to him. Until she closed the door because she stuck her hand out. He stuck out his hand and shook her hand.
Charles had to think for a bit to realize she wanted to sit here. So he waved at the seats across from him, gesturing for her to sit down. " Hello Josette " Charles said firmly with his fingers laced together on his lap. " I'm Charles Simmons, its nice to meet you. " He said politely yet firmly.
Charles then grabbed his book and thought in the silence. Then he decided to just say it. " Well Josette I'm a Pure-Blood. And I see that you don't have your trunk with you. But you seem to be a Half-Blood to me. Most Half-Bloods I know also keep their trunk with them cause it could get lost. With all the luggage from the ' Muggle-Borns ' " He said rolling his eyes as he mentioned muggle-borns. " Well can you tell me why you left your Trunk, you might want to get a head start reading the books for school. I know I would. " He said smiling.

"Wait your a muggle-born aren't you!" Charles said smiling even more " That's so cool! My parents never let me around muggles or any muggle-born. " Charles then saw that she was leaving. " Hey don't leave, besides you might not find an empty compartment. " Charles said trying to make her stay. " Oh are you upset that I rolled my eyes.. Oh you are so mad at me for rolling my eyes. And I am so sorry. I rolled my eyes because I was just mimicking something my parents would say. Again I am so sorry, but if you really want to leave then go ahead. " Charles sighed. " Its not like I'm doing bad on my own. "
Charles picked up his book and began reading again. He was such an idiot, why dose he never pay attention to how other people feel. He's so good at getting good grades,but he can never make a friend like he's just never been able to. Its probably because he was so awkward or maybe it was because he was shy. He had no idea and he felt alone. His parents knew he was lonely but there were no kids they wanted him to be friends with. Yeah they tried to have fun and make him not feel so lonely. But it just made things worse for him. Like his parents have to be his friends because he had none. Why can't he ever just make a friend Charles thought.

Jo just sighed, she was so used to the behaviour she knew it was true. Besides he wasn't lying when he said there won't be any other compartments. She just silently pulled her hand away from the handle and sat opposite to Charles, she looked out a window, she might be mad or she might be sad. She never knew. Why don't I just keep my mouth shut? Why don't I mind my business? Why do I embarrass this poor boy? All he did was roll his eyes- no harm was done. Why can't I understand how I Feel? Her thoughts stopped abruptly as she noticed his face, he was just as worried and embarrassed as she was. "I-I'm Sorry, I just thought you might call me. you know the WORD"She said her voice shaken and heavy. She didn't want to be called Mudblood, nobody like her would. She just sighed and the soft humming of the train continued, the countryside flashed by the window. All she wanted to do, was get out of there. Nothing would change and she knew it deep inside, she refused to believe that her school years here will be spent like the ones In the muggle school. She refused to give up, she had a long time ago, and she refused to give up again with this new opportunity.

Charles looked over and saw that she sat back down. Relaxing again he put his book back in his trunk and closed it, as she talked. He wondered if she was having a
Charles shook his head trying to snap out of it. That was not him talking Charles knew who he was an he would not let anything keep him in the way from his goals. His dream he dreamt of all theses years that he could achieve. That he could make real. Charles then realized its been a few minutes since he responded. Like he should respond or else they might leave. Before even thinking about it he spoke.
"What word? Like I'm being honest here what word do people say? " Charles gasped. " Is it a curse word! " He would say all offend. " You know what do you want to maybe.. be.. do you want to.. be...
. . .
friends? " He asked shrugging.
This made Charles very confused. It was like he was in his own mind with all his memory's and thoughts spinning around him. He just wanted to curl up into a ball and close his eyes. Not having to relive anything, not having to care about anything. He could just become nothing, without having to carry the burden that if something happened to you it would devastate a loved one."I-I'm Sorry, I just thought you might call me. you know the WORD" She said.

Jo noded. She didn't know how to reply. "The M-word" she said her voice shaking, Charles realised what she meant. She leaned back and said "Yeah, let's be friends" she sighed.
She wanted to hide, wanted to hug her parents, wanted to have something to do, wanted the humming of the train to stop. She wanted to let go, fall asleep and think this was a dream. She would wake up in her bed, eat, go to school, come back, work and go back to bed after dinner.
For the first time in her life, she didn't want to BE her. She wanted to be someone better, she wanted to be someone who wasn't called mudblood, who had a friend and to be happy doing homework. She was ready to be left here by this poor boy, and she was ready to stand up. Without thinking about it she said "What house do you want to be in?" as she closed her eyes and put her hands behind her head so she would sit somewhat comfortably. the lighting was dim and the silence began to press. She quickly shook her head to snap out of those thoughts. "The weather in.. Nice" She said she couldn't believe she was talking about the weather. The train was getting chilly, she ignored it knowing that her jacket wouldn't help. "Enjoy the book. Bud" she smiled waterly as she fell asleep. Even through her sleep the humming and the clatter of the train were clear as day. For an odd reason it helped, she fell asleep in one of her classes almost on a daily basis. She frowned slightly. She felt ashamed of being such a bad pupil, falling asleep, distracting the class with the magic she didn't know she had before her parents told her, it got her into trouble for sure, but it nevertheless feels bad feeling comfortable with the sound of everything there, like it was class.
