Athrun watch trough the window the crowd of student and parents, and caged pets with a hint of envy and sadness. His father didn't come to the station to bid him good bye because of works. Again. It's such a usual occurrence, to plan some family time activities and to have his father bailing from said activities that he shouldn't feel disappointed. But he did though, because today is special. Today is different. Today is the first time he will board the Hogwarts Express to Hogwarts, and it should have been a special memory for his family. But apparently for his father it isn't. His mother have hugged him extra tight and he hugged her back tightly too. He loves his mother very much but he can't help the slight envy he felt when he saw a student bid his farewell to his parents, and when the father patted the son's hair playfully.
Athrun harshly wiped the tears that rolling down his face with the back of his hand. It's no good. He can't cry because of his father. No, he can't cry at all! He didn't want to be known as the crybaby boy.
The compartment shift open from the outside and a blonde girl come and sit in the seat in front of him. The girl wears a green sweater and black leggings and one side of her shoulder length hair is held back by a lily hairpin made of emerald stone. She has a remarkable present. Her eyes though, are the most remarkable of all. A beautiful shade of golden and brown, lit by a fiery glare sent to his way.
Wait, glare?
"What are you looking at?!" snapped the blonde girl.
Athrun blushed from embarrassment. His mother will be so disappointed in him, the train has yet to leave and he has caught openly staring at a girl. "Sorry." He mumbled. And then he remembered that his father always scold him for mumbling. "I'm sorry." He said again more clearly. "I didn't mean to stare. It just…"
"Just?"
"Err… your eyes are very pretty!" he blurted out and a second later regret it when he saw the blonde blinks confusedly at him.
"Wow, you are weird." The blonde girl finally said. "It's okay though, to be weird, I mean. My name is Cagalli Athha, a first year."
"I'm Athrun Zala, first year too."
"Hey, Athrun, wanna be friend?"
"Sure." Athrun at this point didn't know what it is, but when she beamed at him with that smile and that joy in her eyes he felt an army of butterflies flying around in his stomach. That day, 4 years ago, is the day Athrun Patrick Zala fall in love for the first time to Cagalli Yula Athha. And soon he will find that it is extremely possible to fall in love to the same person again and again.
They heard the train whistle whistling loudly and soon the train began to move.
(Meanwhile Kira who had to stay at home because of fever suddenly has a weird dream where a green eyed frog came and snatch his sister away and then he, Cagalli, and the frog battle an army of robots like in the muggle movie he and his sister like to watch. Kira wake up feeling confused and hungry.)
A/N: I don't know why I never found a Hogwarts/Harry Potter AU in Gundam Seed Fandom. And once upon a time in a train I have this idea and I thought it will be fun, so I write it. From here onwards the stories won't be in a chronological order. The pairings may vary, and there will be a chapter where there is no pairings at all. So enjoy the ride! ;)
