Padma looked out the window of Hogwarts Express and sighed. It had been a long summer to say the least, her sister had died. She had been the only person that Padma could trust. After her sister's death Padma changed, she was no longer as cheerfulas
/before and she cried almost every time she was reminded of Pavarti.

And there was also the secret, the secret that almost everyone knew, shehad been so rapped up in sadness that she had kissed her best friend when she was trying to console her. Her parents hated herfor shaming their family and all herfriendsdeserted
/her when they found out the truth. Not only had she lost her sister, but she lost her friends too.

Her sister's funeral had been the saddest day of her life. Everyone was crying and giving her their condolences, but the words never reached herbrain. She had felt numb. She couldn't think. All she knew was that her sister was dead and noone couldbring
her back. Her eyes were dry from the lack of tears because part of her stillbelieved that she would was up to the sound of her sister's voice once more. But she was alone. And now, after such an awful summer,she had to returnto a

place where she was either hated or pitied.

Padma continued to think of Pavarti and a tear rolled down her cheek.

"Excuse me" a redhead girl said timidly. Padma looked upat her and quickly wiped away her tear hoping the girl hadn't noticed it. "Is anyone sitting here?" She asked. Her voice was soft and it reminded Padma of her sister.

"N-no" Padma stuttered. "You can sit here, i-if you want." She added quickly. She snuck another glimpse of the girl and took in her features.

The girl had beautiful red hair that was cut short. Her face was dotted with freckles that almost shined in the sunlight. Her blue eyes were vibrant against her soft pale skin. Her smile was timid but sincere as she picked at the bluepolishthat
dotted

her finger nails. Padma was sure that she had never seen someone so beautiful or genuine in her life. She mentally slapped herself in the face remembering her mother's scoldings.

"Okay, thanks" The girl replied and tentatively sat down across from Padma. "My name is Ginny" she said, waiting for Padma to reply.

"I'm Padma" she replied looking down, waiting for the gasp that was sure to come. But it didn't. She looked up confused as to why she wasn't reacting, everyone had been talkingabout her. Padma was surprised that Ginny hadn'tHeard the rumours.

"Nice to meet you Padma" Ginny stated witha wider, more relaxed smile.

"You too" Padma replied smiling uncontrollably. She started playing with her hair, that's what she always did when she had a crush. She quickly stopped, assuring herself that she didn't have a crush. 'I like boys, I like boys'she thought to herself.
/Maybe if she kept thinking it, it would come true.

"What year are you in?" Ginny asked, raising ever so slightly one of her perfect eyebrows. Thais made Padma's stomach jump.

"Sixth. You?" She asked, crossing her toes, hoping that Ginny wasn't much younger then her

"I'm in fifth" she replied, looking a little disappointed that Padma wasn't in her year.

The two girls kept up a steady flow of small talk, interested in each other's lives. Padma didn't talk about her sister, or the fight with her parents. This girl was a chance at a new friendship, with no rumourspoisoningGinny's brain.

Even if they were true, Padma wanted them to come from her. When she was ready.
