It felt like just last week Edme had been sitting on the Hogwarts Express with her heart in her hand and their hair freshly cropped around their young face. Now, as she plopped down in an empty compartment, she felt like a completely different person. They could hardly believe a year had passed.⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄
Due to her early arrival, they could easily find a quiet space to sit and think. She was a second year already. Even their foster mothers outside waving jovially seemed like fresh new beings, warped versions of what they used to be. Edme waved back with a small smile.
The summer hadn’t been anything to remarkable, mainly just her thinking about all the fun Hogwarts would bring back to them when she could return. It was finally time for them to see all her friends again, like Draven and Maggie and all the others she had grown so close to. They were practically bursting with energy.
They also hoped to meet a few new people over the year. Of course she had so many wonderful friends, but now the first years would be rolling in from all different backgrounds and histories. Edme had been a confused little firsty not too long ago, and they knew just how stressful it may be. She couldn’t wait to be the one directing Ravenclaws to their classrooms and watching the looks on their faces as the magic of Hogwarts unfolded before them.
With these thoughts bubbling up, they looked to the compartment’s entrance, feeling a strange new hope that an unfamiliar student would stumble through it.⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄

A Slow Return
As Luis boards the train his straight hair nicely polished by his father. His hazel eyes gleaming in hopefulness. His face set as the opposite with a worried face setting on his face. What is they don’t like me. What if I won’t be a good student. What if no one is wants to be my friend. All these words rush through his head. He then steadies himself breathing in and out like his father told him to.
Luis slowly walks through the train taking in all the patterns on the floor and walls. His mind giddy with all the posibilites heading into his first year at Hogwarts. He smiles abit now knowing why his dad told him all these stories about the place and how it’s the first step into imagination.
He sort of stops and pulls out a book and holds it in his hand and starts walking for a compartment as he sees someone a blurry figure behind the shaded glass and knocks on the compartment door nervously. He really hopes that this person does not get mad at him for knocking. While he waits he quickly opens his book looking quickly for some common knowledge to help him in conversation.
Luis Hyion Randall - Yours imagine rules.

Edme saw the knocker before she heard them. A young boy with nicely kept hair and an anxious frame stood just outside the compartment, his frame stark and blurry through the door. Taking a deep breath, they stood to open the door for the other.⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄
Cracking open the compartment door, she smiled at the now much clearer face, young and impressionable. He was visibly very nervous, studying a book in his hands. Edme questioned whether he was actually reading, or if he was just trying to seem cool and distracted.
The Ravenclaw realized very quickly it was their turn to talk. “Hello there!” She smiled in a small, welcoming way, not flashing her teeth but turning their lips up into a half-circle. “Need a compartment?”
They were reasonably against assumptions, as that was the very thing that she feared the most, but looking at the young thing, it was clear this was his first year at the magical school. The Second-year was anxiously and ecstatically aware that this was their opportunity to teach and help a clueless little one. That had been her only a year ago.
“Come in, please.” They said a tad more professionally, trying to seem comforting. This was, of course, two awkwards trying to make conversations, though for very different reasons. She wanted to add on to the prior statement, but came up with nothing.⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄

Luis was get nervous as he thinks about everything he thought about before and even more. He smiles nervously and puts his hand out to shake the girls hand saying. “Hello there.” It comes out as a quite rushed speech. “I do need a compartment no one wanted me in there’s.”
Luis walks into the compartment putting his trunk up on the overhead bin. He slowly sits down looking at the floor not wanting to maintain eye contact. He looks up for abit to ask a question. “Is this your first time at Hogwarts like me?” Luis has a small sparkle in his eye.
Luis opens a book he had in his hand called ‘Book of Spells’ flipping to a page with a beginner type charm. “I really want to learn charms is it really was good as people say it is? He releases he geeked out and quickly pulls the book to his check and starts looking at the ground again.
He starts mentally chastised himself how could he geek out like that in front of someone he really was a nerd. “Sorry for geeking out it’s just a habit that I could never get rid of sorry again if it bothered you.”

Edme gladly let the boy in, taking her own seat across from him. They listened to him politely, patting down their robes.⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄
“Oh, I’m sorry.” She replied, unsure how else to continue. Conversation wasn’t their strongest, much less comfort. She instead offered a small smile of sympathy and looked away slowly.
A small feeling of dread filled their gut, quite suddenly, though slowly. If she couldn’t find comfort for such an inconvenience, how would they be able to guide and lead new students through the school? She had been so content on fulfilling the beginning of the year for these students, but were they so sure they could?
She looked back to Luis as he asked the question. “Oh, no. I’m actually a second-year. Though I still can’t help but feel like I’m just starting.” They laughed half-heartedly, the dread swirling and spinning inside her. But this wasn’t about them, was it? She wouldn’t ruin this poor boys start to an amazing year!
“Of course! Charms is fantastic. I’ve learned so much from it.” They stated happily, thinking ecstatically about wands and magic and Hogwarts! She couldn’t wait to be back.
They cooled down a bit when the boy apologized profusely for the outburst. She knew all too well the worry of saying the wrong things or making the wrong impression. They pulled on a small warm smile and sat up straighter, determined to make this boy comfortable.
“Not at all. Hey, perhaps you could show me a few of your favorite spells from that book of yours?”⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄

A Slow Return
When Luis hears the question about his favorite charms from the book his eyes light up and he starts flipping pages and making off-hand comments about the spells and how much he wanted to learn at Hogwarts and be the best charms master ever!
He flips to page 136 and shows her Expecto Patronum and reads the description in pure joy as he glances from the book and the miss. He then remembered that he never asked for her name. “Can you imagine it? You can summon an animal out of your wand that can fight dementors?”
After talking about the spell he looks up and says “I’m Luis I realized I never asked for your name. So here is my formal asking of your name!”
Luis chuckles at the way that he asks the name of the miss. His father always said to be kind and a gentleman so he was trying to miss them both with little success.

Edme was glad for the boy’s change in mood, his excitement radiating off of him like sparks. She had once been just as excited about getting to see Hogwarts for the first time. Now it was just like going back home after a long vacation.⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄
The Second-year looked at the page in the book, skimming a few lines. They hadn’t heard of this spell before. It looked complicated.
“Wow. I wonder what mine would be.” She thought out-loud. They imagined a large dragon twisting and twirling our of her wand, scales shiny and sharp. Then they thought of a round Pygmy puff bouncing out of the wand and warding off predators. Bonnie squeaked beside her.
“Ah, yes, of course. I’m Edme. And this,” she reached behind her to grab out a bubbly, pink Pygmy puff with fluffy hair and a small face. “Is Bonnie.”
People always had the best reactions to meeting Bonnie, and Edme loved every one. The grin of excitement or the flush of joy at seeing such a cute little creature. They thought of Bonnie as a great comfort, a way to clear up tears and replace them with smiles. She couldn’t be more grateful for the silly little squeaker that placed in their hands.
“You can pet her if you’d like.”⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄⋄
