"Cool name. This here is Echo, my cat." She held up the small black kitten.

"Ah, is it okay if I sit here?" Akila asked.

Victoria looked up. "Of course! I'm Victoria Clearwater! Nice to meet you!"

"Alika Vanora! It's a pleasure!" She said, sitting down

I feel uncomfortable and leave to sit in the compartment with three others in it, including Victoria.

"Hiya! What's your name?" She beamed

I shoved my way through the crowd of brightly clothed witches and wizards, calling my goodbyes to my waving mother and father as my slate grey maine coon stood on my shoulders, watching the glistening train with vivid green eyes. i waved on last time before hoisting my suitcase onto the train and dragging it down the aisle full of budding students. Finally, i thought, i'm going to hogwarts! Zurich my cat meowed as if she knew what i was feeling, nuzzling her huge head against my cheek.

Most of the compartments were full but a couple seemed to have room to spare. Shyly i knocked on one door and opened it, Zurich wrapping her thick tail around my neck, "Um... hello?" i tried.

*Josh*

I glare out the window for a few minutes before getting up and walking away, leaving my stuff.


*Ember*

"He will be back" I sigh.

"Ah, hi!" Akila beamed, wanting to get to know everybody

*Ember*

"I'm Ember and that was my brother Josh" I grin.
