“Nice to meet you Eli, Min,” Bryn grinned at them both as they took their seats. “And same! My brother and sister always boasted about going to Hogwarts but finally I’m getting to go too! I can’t wait.”

The energetic girl brought her legs under her so she was crouching on the seat, looking at the two of them with bright eyes. “I hope we get going soon! What are you looking forward to most? What house d’you think you’ll be sorted into?

Jacob Yaxley… Ah, of course. Vivienne knew the Yaxley family well. Another pureblood Slytherin family of a similar rank to hers. It made sense as to why her brother had allowed him into the compartment, but she just wished he had told her first.

She narrowed her eyes for a moment at him before sweeping into the compartment, sitting down opposite him and indicating for Maddie to sit next to her. She crossed one leg over the other before leaning forward slightly.

“Of course we do, but it won’t take much planning,” she said haughtily. “After all we were [i]made[/i] to rule the school.” 

She then tilted her head. “Twins? I didn’t realise the Montagues were starting this year too.” She glanced at Maddie with a smile. “Did you? I wonder what they’re like. Either way, we’ll meet them soon enough when we’re all sorted into Slytherin.

“Our ideas of boring are entirely different, Archie,” Gus rolled his eyes at his twin as he began to walk through the train carriage a lot of the compartments were already full which left them with limited options. He paused for a moment at a carriage with two girls and one boy, who was wearing a slytherin scarf. He snorted and lowered his voice to whisper at his twin. “I think I found the pureblood Slytherin compartment… Let’s [i]not[/i] sit there.”

Unlike most other purebloods, their parents didn’t ascribe to blood purity and looking down on those who weren’t pureblood. As a result the twins were much more accepting than most purebloods - even if they both still expected to be sorted into Slytherin. 

Gus stopped going and stopped at another compartment with just two people, probably first years, one a tall boy and the other a girl who was clearing up some notes. A mischievous twinkle lit up his eyes as he turned to Archie. “How about here? They look fun.”

“Nice to meet you, Carter,” Ishbel piped up, clearly relieved now that his sister had gone. 

Li laughed slightly as he pulled his camera back inside the compartment and shut the window, figuring that he could get nice photos on the journey later. “I understand the older sister problem very well… I have three.”

“I have two older brothers,” Ishbel shrugged with a sympathetic smile. She then nodded at Carter’s question. “Of course! I’m nervous but also very excited.”

“I cannot wait to see the castle,” Li’s eyes practically started glowing. “I’ve heard it’s beautiful… Imagine how many good photos I can get of that! I wonder if we’re allowed to photograph the sorting ceremony… that would be so cool!”

“Huh?” Olivia blinked as Saiorse, rather quietly, said something about looking forward to meeting her. Weird but alright, she’d just brush it off. She wasn’t exactly normal herself. So she just smiled and nodded. “Nice to meet you Saiorse! Yup, I’m a first year too.”

She sat down beside her after putting her luggage away, finding it a bit odd that the other person had come in without greeting them. But if that’s what they wanted… well, she’d concentrate her efforts talking to the person who cared!

“Are you excited to start? I am! Not that I know what any of it’ll be like, my parents aren’t wizards you see. But I still can’t wait.”

“Thank you,” Ben smiled and stepped in, putting away his luggage before answering her question. “Benjamin Sallow, also a first year. But everyone just calls me Ben.” 

He sat down opposite her with a light sigh before looking at the notes that she’d tried to clean up. “That’s a lot of notes you have there… Already preparing for classes? That’s impressive.”
