The chugging sound of the train running on the railway combined with the noise of students who couldn't wait to spend their summer holidays could be heard faintly, entering Sere's hearing. The Gryffindor girl is sitting in one of the compartments of the Hogwarts Express, her gaze directed out to the window; at the sky, mountains and valleys that she passed along the way back home. On her lap there is a blank diary which still open, and in her right hand there is a pencil that she already holds for some moments now.

"I don't think I'm ready for home." Sere exhaled a long, heavy breath. The last time she came home, the British-Korean girl got a 'surprise' that made her realize: not all surprises are pleasant. That was a warm family dinner, made for the purpose of asking her to leave Hogwarts. What the hell was that?

Sere shook her head, trying to drive the unpleasant memory out away. Her focus returned to the empty diary on her lap. Her mission today is to document all the precious memories from her first year at Hogwarts in a written form, so that she wouldn't forget anything important in the future.

Dear Diary,

Sere frowned, too many important moments had happened to her this past year. A storm of memories suddenly rolled inside her head. Everything single pieces crashed in at the same time until this girl is now overwhelmed. She doesn't know what to write. "Where should I start?"

asking wether if she could join @Sere Nade

Heaving her trunk up the stairs of the train with her kitten, Brookline puffed, Tigeress in her arms. Tigeress was trying to jump out of the Ravenclaw’s arms, and create chaos. Brookline sighed, clutching the kitten tighter. Note to self, make sure you bring a carrier next year, She thought, managing to haul her kitten and trunk into the train.

Making a straightforward bee-line to the bathrooms, Brookline wouldn’t let her kitten go. Muttered curses flew out of her mouth as Tigeress’s sharp claws sunk into her robes. The train has started moving as soon as she closed the door gently behind her. How could she go home after this? She loved Hogwarts as it changed her life completely.

Brookline set Tigeress on the sink and her trunk on the floor, as she slipped into one of the stalls and with her, she had a purple and black tie-due crop top and ripped jeans with her. Changing out of her Ravenclaw robes, she exited the stall after she finished, stuffing her robes inside her trunk. Grabbing a curious Tigeress, whom had been smelling out the sharp scented soap, and the Ravenclaw headed out of the bathroom, finding a seat before the train went out of Scotland.

Brookline had always hated wearing robes during school, even though she was a pure-blood and was used to the robe’s texture she still preferred muggles’ clothing over plain ’old robes. Sure, robes made her look like a witch but muggle clothes is all what she wanted. Brookline straightened out her top as she walked around, finding a compartment on two wobbly legs. The highs pitched skeeeee of the train made her ears hurt. Finally found a semi empty compartment with a girl with long wavy black hair inside with a book in her lap.

Opening the compartment a inch, Brookline asked the girl, “Hiya! Mind if I join you here?” Putting her hand up in a friendly wave she gave the girl a friendly smile. Tigersess was digging claws in Brookline’s arm to catapult herself to the new girl whom she saw as friend, the hand she was friendly waving from the same hand she holding Tigeress, so tighting her grip around her pet, she waited for the girl to speak and hopefully, fingers crossed, that the girl would let her sit.

Sere heard the compartment door slided open and there is a girl, asking for seat availability. "Oh, Hi!" Sere placed her pencil in the middle of the diary and stretched her hand towards the empty space in front of her. "No, not at all. Here, please." Sere realized that the girl was carrying a pet which was scratching the owner's clothes, "Hi, Big Boy! Uh-oh... Or... should I call you Little Princess?" The Gryffindor girl waved at the Classic Tabby.

Sere then looked to her left. Her pet, which had been quiet in the cage, suddenly jumping around excitedly, "Whoa whoa, calm down Buddy!" Sere closed her diary and put it between herself and Buddy's cage, then took the gray bunny out of the cage. "You can't wait for me to introduce you to a new friend, huh?" Sere whispered while stroking her bunny's back, then changed her focus, looked at the fierce beautiful blue eyes, "He is Buddy, my Mist Hopper Bunny. He is so excited to see you two coming." Sere put her palm on her chest, "I'm Sere, Sere Nade. First year... umm, graduating to Second year, I guess? Anyway, I'm a Gryffindor. Nice to meet you."

Sere looked at the Classic Tabby, "Your cat looks very active. Is it the usual behaviour?" The girl suddenly spit out something random from inside her mind, "Oh, is it hurt when scratching? Have you ever been hurt by this cutest creature?"

Brookline smiled, and slowly walked to the spot that the girl had inquired. “Oh, this is Tigeress, she seems to think everyone is her friend, ” Her Welsh accent seemed to ring in her ears.

As Brookline spoke, movement and paws crashing against metal filled her ears. Looking to the left, Brookline saw the cutest bunny she had ever seen. As she spoke, the girl had lifted the grey bunny out if the cage, “Aww, he's so cute! Tigeress is excited as well! She can’t stand it when someone’s holding her. I really should get a carrier or one of those self-walking leashes. Do you mind if I pet him by the ears?” She asked, her small lips forming a small grin.

Then the girl set a palm to her chest, telling Brookline her name was Sere. “Hi Sere! I’m Brookline Quinn, an almost second year Ravenclaw. Nice to meet you too!” Replying, Brookline let Tigeress jump to the floor after the brown tabby dug her hind claws into her legs.

Owww! Tigeress! Brookline winced and shook her head. Tigeress ran around the room once before she stopped to lick her ruffled tabby fur, and then started up running again. The Ravenclaw sighed and cursed, then spoke to Sere, “Not really, I think its the train and the way we’re not at Hogwarts, anymore.”

Sere had asked another question when Brookline finshed her words. “To your other question, no, not much. She’s not trying to hurt me, but she’s a present surprise each and every day. Like what she just did, it hurt but its fine, its kinda her nature, I guess.”

Brookline flicked her glance to Tigeress who trying to rip the rugs. “Hey! Stop that!” She snapped her fingers to Tigeress, and when she wouldn’t stop, Brookline had to get up and pick the tabby up. The rug wasn’t clawed up at all. Brookline sighed in relief.

“But I hope you don’t that she runs around. I know she’ll get tired soon and either lay on the seat or near someone’s shoes. Either you or me. She wouldn’t know the difference between You-Know-Who or the Great Professor Dumberdore!...” She realized what she just said and then let out a bunch of stutter and a curse word in Welsh before she said, “No, I mean, Tigeress would, um, not be able to tell who’s good and who would kill her.” She cringed and thought, What am I saying?

Brookline gazed around before she said, “Sorry for the rant. Did you want to speak now, Sere?”

☾“Throw me to the wolves and I’ll return leading the pack,”☽

Sorry for a late response! I haven’t been able to get much wifi to do much replies when I was in vacay! And sorry for a long post, my fingers kept on typing,

Sere whispered to Buddy, "Alright, now give the best impression to our new friend." Then gave a nod as a signal for the girl in front of her to pat the Mist Hopper. "You can stroke him from the ears down to his back. He usually likes that."

When the girl with the Welsh accent introduced herself, Sere spontaneously said, "Ho! So you are Brookline! That History of Magic lovers!" Sere then covered her mouth and cleared her throat, "Ehm, umm, I mean... Nice to meet you. There's a friend of mine who told me about you. It seems like he's your friend too." The Gryffindor girl diverted the awkwardness by petting Buddy before putting the calmer gray fur ball back into the cage.

Tigeress... It really suits her name. Sere bent down and intended to get acquainted with the tabby. She stroked her back briefly and said, "Nice to meet you, the bravest one." The British-Korean girl sat up straight again while chuckling at Brookline's remarks about Tigeress, Voldemort and Dumbledore. That was indeed an extreme comparison for someone's good and someone who can kill the cat. "I'm sure Tigeress can at least differ you, the nice girl who give her a tin of cat food everyday."

Sere looked at the diary beside her and said, "Actually I was going to write memories about everything I've done throughout this year. But I really don't know where to start." The girl suddenly had an idea, "Would you help me? I think I can untangle my tangled thoughts if I have someone to talk to."

Sere placed back her diary on her lap, "Umm... What do you think are the important moments for us -the first years- at Hogwarts?"

Brookline smiled and stroked the grey bunny’s ears. “Hey, little buddy. You’re so cute. Yes you are!” She started baby talking to the bunny. She didn’t want to abuse her welcome so about twenty-five to thirty second later she stopped, and look atop of Tigeress’ soft head.


History of magic lover? rang in Brookline’s ears. It sounded like Sere didn’t like History Of Magic. Then the girl cleared her throat, and started stuttering. Brookline nodded, and said, gently, “You don’t like history?” She said it non-accusing, and more like a joke.

Sere bent down, and started petting the tabby. Brookline was glad she had gotten a tabby that wasn’t too playful. Too playful could be rough sometimes. Tigeress mewed at the girl, and rubbed against Sere’s leg with her brown tabby head.

“I mean, sure but she.. she’s not your average kitten, cute and awesome in so many ways that sometimes she reminds me of some people. Certain people to be exact.” A little giggle escaped her as she remembered all of the mysterious things the kitten had did.

After Brookline had spoke, Sere had glanced at the diary that was sitting next to her. It was the first time that the Ravenclaw had noticed it. “Ooh, writing down thoughts. My mother had gotten me, like, a journal of some sort, and I should write in it, but writing isn’t really my thing. Maybe I'll get into it next year. Sure! I’ll help you! ”

Sere had placed the diary in her lap. “Hmm.. Putting them in a list might help first. Well, what about the balls? Or friends? Maybe the pets, or the first year we get to be responsible for ourselves! My mum says that usually muggles stay with their parents throughout their teenagers years, while us Wizards go to what muggles would call boarding school? I don't know really, but I believe we mature faster then them?,” Brookline nodded, and spoke. Then she added, waving her hand, and shrugging, “Forget that last part about the muggles. I don't know that much about muggles, really.”

☾“Throw me to the wolves and I’ll return leading the pack,”☽

thanks! I love how beautiful yours is to. my favorite part is seeing some of Sere’s dialogue italicized, it shows me what she emphasises

Brookline's question about whether she disliked History of Magic made Sere clear her throat and staring all around, trying not to answer the question. Ah, I made it too obvious, didn't I?

Sere turned her eyes to stare at the eye-catching classic tabby while her ears remained focused on the Ravenclaw girl's words. The idea of ​​some new friends, pets, and living on her own for the first time were really interesting. Sere immediately grabbed her pencil and wrote down the three things in bullet points, just like what Brookline suggested. "Uh... I didn't go to any balls this past year. How were those? Were the balls fun?" Sere tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear, "I feel like that kind of party doesn't suit my stiff side and that will be really awkward if I choose to come."

Sere nodded, "Yeah, boarding school. You're right. That's what we call it." Giving away the implied information that she is a muggle, just like the girl in front of her who she knows as a pure-blood. "You have so many great ideas, Brook! I think you should really start writing your own journal next year!"

The British-Korean girl seemed to be thinking, "I'll write about activities that I finally could do by myself since I am living my dorm life at Hogwarts. I am also thinking of writing about duel things because I am in it, finally involving myself in something's really... magical." Sere then asked again, out of her curiousness, "What about you? Are you involved in any kind of sports? Or maybe join any club?"

“I only went to one of them, unfortunately. But the spring ball wasn’t to bad. I just was lonely, say for the least. No-one to go with but a niffler almost stole my bracelet!” Brookline laughed, remembering the memory, and she said next, “I would go to the next ball, if I were you, because maybe you’d learn to like it! Just make sure to bring a friend or two. She smiled at the Gryffindor, and then hauled Tigeress in her lap.

Then Sere had agreed with her. “Ooh! You’re a muggle-born? That’s so cool. I've only met a few so far. What’s it like being a muggle-born witch? It must be so fun.” Brookline smiled, and listened to Sere’s next words. “Aww, thanks, Sere! It warms me to know that people appreciate ideas out here.” Beaming, she watched Tigeress twitch her ears, and scratching then, Brookline listened to Sere’s next string of words.

“Dueling? Dueling sounds so cool. Have you actually dueled yet?” Brookline asked Sere, curiosity sporting within her. "What about you? Are you involved in any kind of sports? Or maybe join any club?" Brookline thought for a moment. “I hope to be a broom racer by the end of Second Year but I’ve join rather few clubs so happy about that. Other than that, mostly been busy when other things like letters and homework. Hey, are you in any clubs?”
Maybe they were in the same clubs!

Hearing a little about the Ball made Sere very interested in attending, "I guess I'll think about attending it." The girl added 'going to the Hogwarts' Ball' on future years to-do-list that she had just made, though she was still unsure if that festive atmosphere would suit her.

"About being a muggle-born witch..." Sere seemed to think, "It feels so magical in every way. It feels so new and a year ago I still didn't know anything about this school nor about the world." The girl added another note about her feelings when she first arrived at the wizarding school as well as the wizarding world, "Adjustment is always the hardest thing, and I think it's going to be my lifetime's work. There's always something new that I couldn't expect here."

Sere nodded, "I've made my debut in the Winter Games and already on my second duel in the last Spring Games. Lost in both, and that makes me even more excited and want to win eventually, someday." The Gryffindor girl wrote down about the duels in her notes. The conversation with Brookline really helped in untangle her previously tangled thoughts. "So, you're going to be a broom racer? That's cool! I really want to watch a broom racing match, but never actually go to any of it. Can I come and support you in one of your matches in the future?"

The British-Korean girl shook her head, "I've also been too busy with my academics this whole year, unlike you that still have time to join a club, I'm not in any club. Anyway, which one are you in?"

Hearing the Ravenclaw girl mention about the letters, Sere remembered, "Ah, right! I still don't know how to send a letter until now. Do we just have to write a letter and leave it there, letting the owls send them to our families? Or how?" Considering that this was one of the thing made her argue with her parents last Christmas, it seemed important for her to know about the mechanism of Owlery because that whole thing was confusing for Sere as a muggle-born who were used to the instant messaging, using her private mobile phone.

Brookline nodded excitedly as Sere said she’ll think about attending the ball.

Brookline opened her mouth in disbelief. She still couldn't believe that muggle-born witches/wizards were raised without the word “magic” breathed in their ears. It was a bit of a shock, and if she was a muggle-born, she’ll have no idea how to cope in the world with the words “magic” or “spell” reach her ears ever for the life of her. Merlin, how could she imagine a life without a wand, or matter of fact, her broom! Life would be hard, Brookline accustomed to the witch ways of life.

Brookline smiled as Sere spoke about her duels. “Oh my Merlin! Duels must be so fun, with wands and uttered curses and spells!” She exclaimed extremely quick, but excited as Sere wrote more in her journal. Speaking about groom racing, Sere’s last words were: “Can I come and support you in one of your matches in the future?” Awww, Sere is so sweet. I’m so glad I met her today. The Welsh Ravenclaw thought as she considered Sere.

“Only, and just only you let me support you on your duels. Let me know when your first duel is. And I don’t care if Ravenclaw is your next opponent, I can cheer and root for the both of you!”

Sere asked Brookline whether she had joined a club. She nodded before smiling, “Oh yes. Two or three that if I can remember correctly. I’m in Little Acts Of Kindness and I think in a Greek god/goddess club. I don’t remember when for the last club, was our last meeting. First year was such a happy blur, y’know?

“Owls are trained to find the address . No matter where around the world the receiver will usually end up with the letter in their hands, Brookline said, when Sere asked about the owks and letters. Continuing. the Welsh Ravenclaw beamed as she shared her knowledge on owls sending letters, as she grew up with many owls sending letters and letters being sent out, “ But usually all I do is tie the letter around a random school owl’s talon, and send it off. Then when my mother gets the letter, she sends a letter as well. ”
