Boring ride

[kerajonson]

Kera had been looking forward to going to school, and woke up early that morning to make sure she got a good seat on the train. She had packed her things the night before, and felt ready as ever to start her first term at Hogwarts. After knowing everything was all ready to go, she left for the station with her family.

Her parents had dropped her off at the station, and were saying goodbye as she boarded the train. Not knowing anyone yet, Kera felt it would be best to just sit by herself. After all, she didn't know what kinds of people were in the other compartments. She found an empty compartment, and took a seat. Then she looked out her window, and waved to her parents, who were waving goodbye to her. After the train had begun moving, the 1st year girl began quietly reading one of the books her father had bought for her, and she remained sitting quietly. However, part of her kinda hoped that someone would join her.

As he walked along the train looking for a place to sit he saw that almost all of the compartments where full he saw one with only one person in it, and by the looks of it the person was probably a first year. So he opened the compartment door and looked at the young girl and said"Hi mind if I join you?" As he waited for her reply he looked out of the compartment window and watched the last parts of london flash by as the train was still gathering speed,

The train had started to gain speed, as Kera continued to gaze out the window. She had begun to grow bored as she sat in the compartment all by herself. Suddenly however, she heard a voice from the door. She turned her head and saw an older boy standing in the doorway. "Hi. no I don't mind." she said a small smile on her face. "It's boring sitting here by myself anyways."

Allison gripped the strap of her bag tighter as she passed the other students on the train. She was nervous and it was showing. She avoided eye contact with almost everyone and stared down at her shoes. Her outfit consisted of a pair of torn jeans and a black t-shirt. Plain but she was too nervous to care.

She passed many compartments that she could have joined if she had been a bit braver, but she was searching for one with only a few people, so everyones eyes would not be upon her as she entered. She finally found what she had been searching for and sighed with relief. Ally looked in to see a older boy standing up near the doorway and a girl who looked to be about her age, sitting with a book in her hands. "Hi... Mind if I join you?" She asked, more confidence in her voice than she thought she had.

Kera turned her head to look outside the window once again, then suddenly heard someone else at the compartment door. She looked at the girl, and smiled. "hi, yeah sure you can join, feel free to take a seat anywhere." she said looking at the new arrival. "I'm Kera Jonson by the way." she said looking at both the people who had joined her.

With relief washing over her she smiled, glad to have a place to sit. "Thanks," she said before stepping into the compartment. She walked over and took a seat across from the girl. She placed her bag next to her feet before looking back up at her. "It's nice to meet you Kera. I'm Ally DeVeaux." She introduced herself with a small smile. "Are you a second year too?" She asked her, trying to make some conversation.

[kerajonson]

Kera smiled as the girl sat down and introduced herself. "Nice meeting you Alley." she said looking towards Ally. She glanced out the window for a few seconds, and turned back to face Ally after hearing her ask if she was a second year. "Yeah, I'm a second year." she responded, and soon added, "What house are you in?"
