She stepped into the Leaky Cauldron, she is a shy but intelligent girl, it’s her first in the magical world and.. well, she is still smart enough to find the counter. As for there was a long line waiting, Rosaleen fiddling around the pub and hesitated to make new friends. There were so many people and she was overwhelmed by the crowd. ‘What should I do now?’ She asked herself when she find a seat to sit down. Rosaleen is a Muggle-born but she is independent, she pick up a leaf and make it a bookmark which is her unique hobby. Even she is a person who can find fun for herself, Rosaleen can’t resist the feeling of lonely.

Who knows how badly she wanted a friend! She sat there silently, try her best not to cry and rub away some tear with her pure white sleeves. Rosaleen take out a pretty purple mirror form her white backpack and look into it. Usually she can see through her eye but not this time for it’s filled with tears. She always values unique beauty, in natural, in art and in herself. Her beautiful eyes are different from other blue eyes, it’s different shades of blues. And her hair, it’s a unusual brown color. She put the mirror back and then she realized the pub is much quieter, Rosaleen stand up, went back to the counter and waited in the line.

Charlise was sitting near the back of the pub, when she saw a pretty girl with tears in her eyes standing at the back of the line.
Charlise's face fell. She hated seeing people sad, upset or just crying in general. It was just how she'd grown up. Her mother had always made people happy. She didn't care that her husband was a wizard, or that all of her 4 children were also witches and wizards. She prided herself in making people smile and laugh. And Charlise was the same.

She waited until the girl had received her drink, and sat down at a table. Then Charlise quickly finished her butterbeer, stood up and began to make her way towards the crying girl. It was difficult because the girl was on the other side of the pub, and she had to weave past drunken witches and wizards, creatures who would suddenly turn around and take off, almost knocking people over and lost kids, looking for their parents.

She finally reached the girl. She was sitting at a table alone, staring out the window. Charlise noticed there were still tears in her eyes.

"Hey. Are you alright?" Charlise asked quietly, sliding into the seat across from the girl.

Rosaleen was immerse in her own thoughts, should I talk to people more? When she heared a voice: ‘ Hey, are you alright?’ She turned around and saw a girl, who looks like the same age as her. ‘Oh, I’m... Alright.’ She think her tear must have been noticed, but no one knows how happy is Rosaleen as she is so delight that someone, kind and friendly, has finally talked to her. The girl is staring at her with concern. She rubbed away her tears and said with a quite voice: ‘I am really fine,’ She added afterwards, ‘Are you new student to Hogwarts too? I am Rosaleen Granger, nice to meet you.’

Rosaleen has finally opened her mouth for help and friends, she felt relieved, like someone has loose the tight string that tied around her heart for the day. Rosaleen always knew that things will get better when she was not afraid anymore and luck will turn another direction, just time matters. She thought of her mother’s famous quote, ‘Difficult situation always depend on luck.’ The girl looks like a good companion, nice and will care about Rosaleen. Rosaleen smiled at last, for the first time of the whole entire day.

Charlise smiles back. "Are you sure? It's just that I feel bad when people are upset. I hate it." She says.
"And yeah I'm new at Hogwarts. I'm in Ravenclaw. First year too. And the names Bond, James Bond. No," She laughs. "I'm only joking. The names Worthington, Charlise Worthington. What house are you in?" She asked grinning, reaching out to shake Rosaleen's hand.

Immediately Charlise felt comfortable with this new girl, something just felt... right.
She wasn't sure why though, she had only met Rosaleen!

"I come from Scotland. Where do you come from?" Charlise asked curiously. She was eager to find out more about Rosaleen. She pulled a photo out of her robe pocket. It was of her family, at the previous Christmas.
"And this is my family. See, that's my Pa, my Ma, my older sister Lara, older brother Thomas, me of course, and my little sister Becky. And that's our turtle Gertrude." Charlise said, pointing to her family members in turn, with a distant smile.

This Rosaleen girl seems great. I hope we become friends... That would be so cool! My first friend, at Hogwarts! I have to send a letter home to Ma and Pa right away! Charlise thought.

‘I am a Ravenclaw too, I am born in Paris, France and my mum is a French fashion designer but my dad is a London achitect. So I guess I am half England and half France.’ Rosaleen introduces herself to Charlise, it feels so nice talk to someone, especially when it’s a nice and funny girl. ‘Please don’t mind that my English contain a bit French accent, my mother language is French after all.’ She joked and smiled awkwardly. Meeting a new student and talk with her is a big step for Rosaleen, now she felt confident and much more comfortable with the new girl, Charlise.

‘So, do you want to know about me?’ Charlise said nothing so Rosaleen take it as a yes. ‘I don’t have any siblings but my parents are loving and supportive. My mom is Dawn Granger, she is a beautiful designer and works with Chanel and Hermès. My favorite color is Blue and my favorite animal is dolphin.....’ Rosaleen has never talked to much to a stranger she met 2 minutes ago and she is much surprised herself. Rosaleen checked her watch and noticed it’s the time to go back to Hogwarts. ‘I have to go, do you want to meet me at the Great Hall?’

"That's so cool! I wish I could speak French. I've always wanted to learn a language," Charlise said. She has always wanted to learn different languages, since she was a little kid. Her cousin would travel around the world and learn interesting and new things, then visit Charlise's family and tell her everything!

"I like blue too, but my favourite colour is light orange. Like pastel orange. And my favourite animal is actually an Axolotl - a Mexican walking fish. They're so cool and I wish I had one as a pet!" Charlise said, almost slipping into a day dream. She shoot her head to sort of awaken herself.

"Yeah, it's almost time for dinner! I'm really craving some lasagna right now... heaped with parmesan cheese. I'll meet you in the Great Hall later. It was nice meeting you!" Charlise laughed, as they stood up from the table.

The two girls linked arms and walked out of the pub with huge grins on their faces. As soon as they reached the door they bid each other goodbye, and went their seperate ways.

Rosaleena is so nice! She's so alike to my best friends at home... oh how I wish they were witches too. I bet Amelie and Susanne would love it here at Hogwarts! Too bad I can't tell them I'm a witch. Charlise thought, as she began to make her way back to the castle she now called home.
