Hello! Harry Potter decided to smack me across the face so, Ta DAAAAAAAH! A New Story. I have no clue where this'll go, but she seems to be leaning towards a certain Slytherin Prince. Meh. She'll go where she wants to(since I obviously, as creator, have no control over her. Seriously. I'm not joking.)

(As of 7/3/13) I have changed the title from Chiropetra to Vespertillo at the wonderful advice of Qoheleth, and fixed a previous error where I originally put "Borgen and Blott's" when the correct title of the shop is "Flourish and Blott's." Thanks to Qoheleth.

Vespertillo

Stepping calmly through the barrier to platform 9 and ¾, Jacquleane Folet seemed the epitome of cold and distant. Black, wavy hair placed in a loose ponytail at the base of her neck, blank emerald eyes, and creamy, rose-tinted skin, she had the makings of a very beautiful young woman. Of course, she had the baby fat on her cheeks, a slightly wide-eyed look that told some very observant others that she was as awed as some others, but otherwise she seemed unmoved.

At her side followed a young man, about her same age, that seemed to be her exact opposite. Francis Bonnefoy was excited, nervous, and jittery and showed it plainly in the way his attention could not stay on one thing at any one time. Shimmering gold blond hair curled almost adorably and fell onto his forehead just above his eyes, bright sky-blue eyes were wide with wonder. He was going to be very handsome.

Together they pushed their carts to the luggage car of the bright red train, but Jacquleane had a firm hand on Francis' cart and was guiding it as well as her own after a few near run-ins with a few other people who were also on the platform.

Despite being new to the platform and the Hogwart's Express, they moved without hesitation onto the train and immediately moved to find a empty compartment, which was rather easy as most other student were saying their goodbyes to family and greeting friends. After settling, Francis excitedly filling the silence with exclamations of wonder and surprisingly in-depth observations of their surroundings and the people he had seen at the platform. Jackie (who was only to be called that by her friends, anyone else would be promptly shown just how affective muggle brawling was) had slanted her friend and cousin a dryly amused look and offered her own opinions.

Now if one was to simply look into the compartment, and not open the door, they would not think it strange at all, but if you actually listened, you wouldn't be able to understand. Everything said in that compartment was spoken in rapid-fire French. You see, Jackie and Franz were, in a way, both runaways and exchange students. In France, they had attended a preparatory school for young witches and wizards where, while they were not to practice magic (as it is illegal to own a wand before schooling age) studied it so they may be more advanced than their fellow students. However, they had no permission to be in England at all. They both were fluent in English, they had passports, and because they came from a very old (not so much pure with their grandfather's generation) family they had no end of money.

Jackie just got tired of it all. She got tired of relative after uncaring relative flashing her a false smile, saying something about her deceased parents (be it cruel or compassionate) and then turning around and snarking about her and her now-dead parents because she held a large amount of the families fortune being the grandchild of the Matriarch's eldest child. Franz had had enough of his family as well. They had been pressing for a arranged marriage to Jackie, and Franz was simply disgusted by it. In fact, Jackie was more of a sister to him, not to mention his best friend. His parents were cold and sour, they hated the fact that they were "cheated" out of their money by a small child.

So, when Jackie left so did Franz. They settled in the family house in London, their only other companion the mothering house elf Luffy who had served only Jackie's parents and now served only her (and by her order, Franz). Luffy could not be summoned by any other family members, and because the family house was guarded by magic no other house elf would be able to find them.

After receiving their letters (and staring at them in awe), they spent several days exploring and purchasing their supplies (There was a very hilarious moment when Franz had to drag a very loudly complaining Jackie out of Flourish and Blott's because she wanted to buy a boatload of hex books for the "Next time we see that disgusting little brat you share blood with, and any fool who irritates me while we're at school! I need those books!").

They made their way rather quickly to King's Cross Station, and after observing the way a dark-skinned boy with dred locks walk through the short stretch of wall that held the nine and ten signs on either side simply stepped through.

And now, they were on their way.

To the wonderful, miraculous, absolutely magical, heavily adored place that all call…

Hogwarts.
