Echo stepped onto the train and found a compartment with three first years who acted like deer in the head lamps as she entered.. She laughs softly as she takes the empty seat near the window.
[B][I]"Don't leave and no one will trouble you if I'm here and I don't care what you do or talk about."[/I][/B] she says with a slight smile as she leans back then closes her eyes.

The three first years like mice who've found themselves suddenly trapped with a cat stayed as still and silent as they could.
Their reactions could have had something to do with the fact that she was 16 but it was more likely the house uniform; she was wearing the green of Slytherin.
They sat looking from one to the other but little by little they began to talk again though in hushed tones.
Echo yawned an sighed then allowed herself to drift off to sleep. She had done this every year since her second year because it insured that she didn't have to deal with all the inane chatter about the coming year.

Echo hated school politics and all the planning that went on to accomplish. She wanted nothing to do with any of it, Echo didn't like to share or to follow orders which made her a terrible team player no she wanted power not friends.
What she planned to do with power once she held it was a mystery because she rarely interacted with anyone even in her own family. When she did work with anyone it was because a school project, spell or potion required more than one person.
