On The Train.
"Here, we can sit in this one," Dominique said cheerfully, holding Kai's hand tightly as she came to a halt. "There's only my cousins in it…"
"I don't think they'll want to sit with me," Kai said quietly, "They were only tolerant of me earlier because of our respective parents. We'll find somewhere else, or I will. You may sit with your cousins if you wish, I won't dictate where you sit." Kai didn't want offend his newfound friend, going to a new place he'd need all the friends he could get.
"It's ok, we'll sit somewhere else then," she beamed at him even though he couldn't see it and continued the search for somewhere to seat, "Ah! There's room in this one! And I have absolutely no idea who they are." He laughed softly as she opened the door. "Hello there, my names Dominique. This is Kai. Can we sit in here or are the seats reserved for your friends?"
"No, the seats are free and you're welcome to join us," the only boy sat in the carriage compartment said in a rather sing song voice.
"Ooh where are you from? I like your accent," Dominique squealed as she placed Kai's hand on one of the empty seats before sitting herself.
"Wales, Cardiff to be precise," he smiled at her and she gasped softly. A painful looking black bruise surrounded his left eye, the one facing the window and the one she hadn't seen earlier, "I walked into a door."
"You should get that looked at. What are your names?" Dominique asked.
"Ken Flynn," the welsh boy said with a small smile.
"Ivy Leeds. You're names…different," she said to Dominique, no insult meant though, anyone could see that on her pretty little face.
"It's French. My mothers French," Dominique explained.
"I'm Emily," the other girl had a slightly bookish looked to her, thick glasses framing dull blue eyes. And unlike Dominique and Ivy who both had wavy blond hair, Dominique's a strawberry blond thanks to her fathers genes Emily had plain brown hair, bobbed to her chin and completely straight. "Emily Protler. Are you first years too?" She even sounded quite bookish.
"Yes we are," Dominique smiled once more.
"What are your surnames?" Ivy asked.
"Weasley," Dominique answered with a bright smile, playing with a lock of her hair, "And yes my Uncle is the Head Auror, my other Uncle owns Weasleys Wizard Wheezes and my Aunt is the Deputy Head of Hogwarts and the Defence Against The Dark Arts teacher."
"Malfoy-Smith," Kai mumbled speaking for the first time.
"Malfoy?" Emily asked, "Isn't that…?"
"Things that happened in the past should stay in the past," Kai said quietly, "I like people to judge me by me and not by that past." Falling silent after that he opened his bag on his lap and pulled out his Potions book, then after setting the bag between his feet he opened it and with the tips of his fingers began to read.
"Oh! You're blind!" Ivy gasped all of a sudden. Kai smiled. "Sorry, that was rude. I always do things like that, say things and then realise afterwards that they sounded rude."
"It's ok, trust me I've had worse. I went to a muggle school in a muggle neighbourhood. Muggles, especially chavs, can be horrible things," Kai told her calmly, looking at the place her voice had come from. "Although you might want to work on thinking before you speak and not after or it'll get you in trouble."
"Yeah," Ivy nodded her head in agreement.
"So what house do you lot want to be in?" Dominique asked, still fiddling with the same lock of hair. "My dad was a Gryffindor but my mum went to Beaxbattons, I could end in any house."
"Would they mind if you weren't a Gryffindor?" Ken asked.
"No," Dominique smiled sweetly at him.
"My mum was a Ravenclaw," Emily said, "And my dads a muggle. I think I'd like to follow in her footsteps."
"I'm muggle born," Ken said with a small laugh, "Didn't even now about all this magic stuff till my letter came. My parents weren't best pleased I can tell you that. I don't know what house I want to be in."
"Both my parents were Hufflepuffs. I'll probably be a Hufflepuff too," Ivy said happily, pulling an apple out of her bag. She rubbed it against her skirt before biting into it, "I don't think I'll be in Ravenclaw, I'm not very smart."
"Everyone's smart in different ways," Kai said quietly. Ivy beamed at him.
"So what house do you want to be in?" Ken asked, looking to the boy sat to his right. Somehow it had ended up with the two boys on one side and the three girls on the other. It wasn't planned, it just happened.
"Well I have a famous Gryffindor for a father, an infamous Slytherin for a father…I think it would be funny if I ended up in Hufflepuff," Kai laughed lightly and the others found themselves joining in. "But I'm not really fussed. All the houses are good in different ways…"
"Surely not Slytherin? They're all evil!" Ivy gasped.
"They used to be when there was something evil to follow, now they're just very cunning," Dominique answered, "My Aunt told me, you know the Deputy Head one. She says some Slytherin's are quite nice now."
"I'll believe that when I see it," Emily scoffed.
"Me too," Ivy said.
"You know we should probably change into our robes soon," Dominique pointed out, looking at the boys, "There's more girls so you two will have to change somewhere else." Ken got up happily, grabbing his backpack.
"Does it matter if I'm in here or not? It's not like I can see you," Kai asked.
"Well no…but do you want us seeing you?" Dominique asked.
"Good point," Kai said, "I'll need a hand finding somewhere to change though. And help to get back here." He blushed, this was one of those many incidents that he hated being blind.
"I'll help you, we'll go find the toilets or something," Ken said, putting his hand on Kai's arm, "Got your robes in your bag?"
"Yes."
"Right, we'll be back in a bit girls," Ken took Kai's hand calmly and led the slightly taller boy out of the compartment.
Jeremy, Jason and Fred had managed to keep the compartment to themselves, scaring away anyone who asked to join them with pranks from Fred's dad's joke shop. They were crying with laughter after scaring off a tall girl with a fake snake, fangs out ready to bite her.
"Did your dad give you all this?" Jeremy asked, "My dad would have killed me if I tried to bring anything like that to Hogwarts."
"My dad told me he couldn't stop me as he'd done the exact same thing with my Uncle Fred. Mum tried to stop me, took away the 'Extreme Exploding Candy' and the dung bombs but the rest of it she let me keep," Fred laughed loudly.
"You're parents are so cool," Jeremy groaned in annoyance.
"Hey yours aren't bad," Fred defended his Aunt and Uncle, "They're just more responsible and less prone to blowing things up in the name of fun."
"Don't make me hate you," Jeremy muttered.
"So Jason, how are we going to treat your twin? He doesn't seem as bad as we expected him to be, being raised by Malfoy and all," Fred asked calmly, munching on a chocolate bar he'd just pulled out of his pocket, slightly melted. "Actually Mr Malfoy didn't seem as bad as all the stories made him out to be."
"Mum always said those stories were rubbish," Jeremy said.
"I think we should treat him just like anyone else we are at school with. We don't have to be his friends but we shouldn't behave like Slytherins," Jason decided quietly. Fred and Jeremy nodded in agreement. They all turned their heads when their compartment door opened, ready to attack whoever wanted to sit with them. But it was only the little old lady with the sweets trolley,
"Anything off the trolley dears?"
"No thank you, we brought our own," all three boys pulled out the sweets from their pockets for the woman to see, all of them from Weasleys Wizard Wheezes. She moved on and the sweets returned to their pockets.
"Can't wait to start flying lessons," Jeremy said to start up the conversation again, "Think your dad will go easy on us?"
"Nope," Jason sighed, "I think he'll be harder on us because he knows us."
"Hope he doesn't expect you to follow in his footsteps," Fred sniggered.
"Huh?" Jason asked.
"He made Seeker in his first year," Fred pointed out.
"Oh," Jason bit his lip, "He hasn't said anything about Quidditch. You don't think he'd really want me to join the team yet do you?" They just looked back at him, offering no answer, "I hope he doesn't want me to join this year. I'm not that confident flying yet."
"A Potter, not confident flying? Is the world coming to an end?" a cheerful voice asked from the still open door. All three of them turned to see Teddy leaning against the doorframe. His two best friends were stood behind him. The three also noticed that his hair had changed colour since they'd left the platform, now practically glowing blue on the top of his head. He went to say something more but at that moment he lost his balance and tumbled to the floor. "Oof!"
"Well done Ted!" Gus laughed loudly, offering his hand to the fallen teen, "How you think you'll make the team being so clumsy is beyond me." Teddy punched his Scottish friend in the arm none too gently.
"Shut up!"
"What do you want?" Jason asked, none too politely. His brother (foster brother technically but Harry had never used the term about Teddy so neither of the boys did) smiled brightly, his hair changing to purple as he began to speak again,
"Thought I'd warn you lot to get your robes on soon. We'll be arriving in a little while and you need to be ready to go when the train stops."
"Oh, well thanks," Jason said.
"Your welcome," Teddy smiled brightly once more and then he, Gus and the third boy Derek left the first years alone to change in their compartment, the blinds on the door pulled down.
The train slowed as it approached the station and all of the students crammed to the windows to get their first view of Hogwarts that year and for some their first view of Hogwarts ever. Kai was the only one trying not to see. The train finally came to a stop and loud voice floated through all the carriages,
"Would all students please depart the train. Would all students…"
The first years were nervous and clumped together as they climbed down on to the platform, Dominique and Ken holding on of Kai's arms each to steady him in the craziness surrounding them. He was thankful of his new found friends. All of them were chatting noisily, gazing around them in wonder. Then a loud and deep voice interrupted them all,
"Firs'-years! Firs-years over here! This way! Come on!"
A/N Bit short I know but this chapter was only about the train so it couldn't be too long. Next chapter 'Moving In'.
