Kyle stood next to his luggage and his parents. His older sister, Maggarina (Maggie to literally anyone who spoke with her), was already on the train having met up with friend Alistair. 

Kyle had no reservations about going. He was just nervous about the train. He had never been on one before. He was taking the sight in when his father knelt down beside him. "Son, you'll do just fine." His mother kissed the top of his head. "Just stay out of Maggie's way." Kyle had had no intention of bothering his sister, she had already made it abundantly clear they weren't going to be friendly at school. Not that they were friendly anywhere else. His father fixed his collar. "You stay out of trouble. Things will be changing soon and I don't want you to appear to know too much just yet." The older man stood and Kyle's mother took his place. Kyle's father noticed one of his acquaintances, Malfoy, and stepped over to speak with the other man. 

"Kyle, study hard okay, and write often." The dark haired woman tightly hugged her son and gave him a slight push toward the train. Kyle clambered onto the train, awkward in his growing body, glanced back and gave a small wave. 

The train was bustling with students of all ages. Kyle was shoved around a bit by older students greeting friends. He felt so alone. In his family one didn't make friends with people that weren't destined for the same fate as they were. Greatness. All of his playmates had been carefully picked for him, and none of them were to be found right now. Finally he slid into a carriage that was empty, as he struggled to put his trunk up on the rack his sister stepped into the room.

"Squirt." Kyle looked at his sister and nearly dropped his luggage. Maggie caught it and pushed it the rest of the way onto the rack. "Listen, Mom may have said some nonsense about, find where you'll be happy, but dad will disown you if you aren't Slytherin." 

"Maggie, come one, the rest of us have taken over the back carriage." A male voice, probably Alistair called from the hall.

"Not that I care." She let her many braids fly as she turned around quickly to head back into the corridor. Kyle slumped down into the seat. It was true his father would disown him, Kyle knew that. Kyle had no inclination for any other house though. His sister may joke at him that he'd be Hufflepuff for sure, but in reality Kyle knew what he valued most. He leaned his head back only looking up with the train car door opened again, he hoped it wasn't Maggie again.
