Another year at Hogwarts. I can't believe I am already a fifth year Gryffindor. Oh! Wait! Let me introduce myself. My name is Alice Riddle. I am, obviously, a Hogwarts student. Right now, I am on the train to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I am a 15 year old girl, well, witch. I am pretty short and I have blonde hair and blue eyes. People call me "cute" and "hot" but I never believed either of those things. I'm just average. But I am very light, 93 pounds to be exact.
I sit in the booth alone, the ride has just begun. God, I am so lonely! I sigh and gaze out the window. Usually, the sight always cheers me up, but not this time I'm afraid.
"Mind if I come in?"
I feel my heart flutter, my cheeks heating lightly and a smile forming. I turn to my all time best friend, Scorpius, grinning at me from the doorway. Don't tell anyone, but I have had a crush on him since I was a little girl. I lied. The sight of Scorpius cheers me up. No matter the circumstances.
"Where were you?" I scoot over so he has room to sit with me. He sits down and slings his arm over the seat back behind me.
"With Al, where else?" Albus is Scorpius's other friend. More like his best guy friend. I'm okay with that, but sometimes I feel a little left out. This is one of those times.
My smile falters. "Right, of course." My gaze sweeps back outside.
He frowns and nudges me. "Hey, you know I'd never ditch you for the world." He gives me that cute little smile that makes my insides melt.
I roll my eyes and give him a playful shove. "Yeah, yeah." I cross my arms and curl up at the window, suddenly feeling sleepy. I hear him chuckle softly next to me and stand up. I hear his clothing rustle behind me, he puts his jacket over my shoulders and quietly walks out.
Before he completely shuts the door, he says "I'll make sure you aren't disturbed." He winks and walks out.
Oh Scorpius, how did I ever manage without you?
