A New Start
Qrow had thankfully gotten to the platform rather early and was, therefore, able to board the train with their meagre belongings and find a quiet, empty carriage to sit.
Looking out the window they could still see Hephaestus standing on the platform, smiling as their older brother lugged his trunk aboard the train.
Both of them had told Qrow to make friends, that Hogwarts would be a good place to start new, and finally interact with people their own age.
The idea of making friends was foreign. The only reason they could ever see themself needing a friend was for the benefit of not getting those ridiculous pitiful looks every time they were sitting alone.
Glancing back out the window they noticed Hephaestus was gone, and the sound of their brother Shouta and his two friends could be heard as they stomped down the train towards another carriage. There was still time before the train left, so Qrow thought it best to distract themself as, with the anticipation of what was to come upon the first years' arrival at Hogwarts, Qrow could barely sit still.
Pulling out their copy of Frankenstein from their bag, the child began to read...
Before they knew it, the train was off, and an old-looking witch with a trolley full of sweets came strolling down the aisle.
"Anything from the trolley dear?"
"A cauldron cake and a chocolate frog please" Qrow replied quietly.
Qrow didn't know how long had passed when the train came to a stop, but what they did know, was that they were finally here.
Welcome to Hogwarts.
