Chapter Two
Anne bit her lip slightly as she approached the serious looking parents of the deceased. Inside her pocket, her friezing hands brushed against the harsh fabric violently, as she twitched her hand from the nerves.
She gave another look at Chang's face and her almost hysterical sobs. The entire funeral had been filled with those stupid, hysterical, loud, annoying, irritating sobs!
Her eyes rolled but she didn't feel them rolling. It was an automatic function of hers, it didn't really mean anything anymore. Just reflected her personality a little.
"Hm... Mr and Mrs Diggory...ah " Her voice failed as she reached them, holding the red roses in her hand, and her eyes fell on the lifeless body inside of the coffin. It didn't really matter if it was rude to stare ("You're always rude in your ever polite ways" he once told her) , if his parents were waiting ( " Let them wait" He said )... it didn't even matter if stupid Chang was on the back of the room, still sobbing.
Right there, it all hit her hard, and all she could do was allow the memories to fill her in.
It was a fairly warm Septmber day, and the wind was blowing quite strongly into the girl's face, but she kept pushing her car like she couldn't feel it. Her brown hair was flying everywhere, and her face wasn't exaclty showing any happiness for being left alone in her first day of school. Well... not really her first day of school, the firstday she'd go to Hogwarts, but same thing, really.
She looked around anxiously, trying to find someone she knew from the ever horrible parties her mother gave. Someone her age, someone she could have as a company in the train and all. But no such luck.
She kept mutturing horrors under her breath as she got near to plataform ten, the anger towards her parents growing. They had to take her older brother to buy some last minute thing, so they couldn't take her all the way to the station. So, she was left with going alone.
"Not like you don't know where it is, sweetheart, and beside, we'll be there in a snap!" Her mother had told her, with her giggly, high-pitched voice.
So, she had to be alone. God, she found this embarrassing. She was about to enter plataform 9 and three quarters, when she heard a loud laugh from behind her. Loosing track of what she was doing, she looked back and watched with mild interest.
"Cedric sweety, stay still please for the photograph!" A woman smiled at the boy who was probably her son, while he played with his father, who smiled proudly at his boy.
"Ah... this is the day my boy goes to Hogwarts,heh?!" The man said, his voice filled with a shameless pride.
Well, obviously Anne thought, but with no desdain or annoyence. Simply out of pure mockery, with no bad or nasty feelings attached.
She quickly got her self together as the saw the boy looking at her, seeing she was staring at them and entered the platform.
She quickly abandoned the car and took her things away, carrying them to the train. This proved to be a very tricky task, and an older student who she saw was a Hufflepuff by the tag on his robes, hellped her put her things in an empty compartment. After rushed good-byes and good-luck wishes, she was now alone again, and staring at the window.
Outisde, a very large number of parents and students stood, talking, hugging, kissing or even arguing. She smiled at crying mothers who hugged their childs and happy fathers who ruffled their sons hair with sad joy.
She finally saw her own mother and father, waving good-bye at another window, where she supposed her brother was sitting. She stuck her head out the window, and yelled for them a few times before they finally saw her and approached her.
"Ah I see you got yourself a seat then!" Her father smiled and stroke her hair slightly.
"Well, yeah couldn't wait for William to do that now could I?"
"Dear, do take care of yourself and " Elizabeth Thomas was cut off by the sound of the train ready to leave. She quickly said her usual things, and yelled for her daughter to be carefull and please listen to her brother and stay out of trouble. Anne smiled at all this and sat back, ready to enjoy the ride.
After what seemed like ten minutes staring out the window, she ehard someone knock on the door. She looked to see another girl, with whiteish bolde hair and a slightly big nose, smiling at her.
"Hm... hello! Mind if I sit here? I mean, everywhere else is full or almost and I really didn't want to be... you know..." She blushed slightly and started to back away.
"Yeah, yeah! Sit, please! It's horrible being alone, anyway" Anne smiled even if she felt a bit akward around the girl. She really didn't know anyone, so she was starting to find it hard to know anyone on the train.
"Ah... thank you!" The girl smiled brightly and entered, bringging her things with herself. She started putting them away, with Anne's help and then sat down, having only her new looking wand and a grey cat with her. Anne stared at the cat, seeing as she hadn't seen it beofre, and he sort of popped out of nowhere into the girl's lap. But this was quickly forgotten by her, as introductions started being made.
"By the way, I'm Meredith Jones" The girl smiled again, as she grabbed her hair and did a messy pony tail, and started playing with her cats ars and strocking his fur lightly.
"Anne Thomas, pleasure to meet you"
The rest of the conversation was made slowly, but as they reached Hogwarts the girls were becoming fast friends, and talked about their families, hobbies, favourite colours, foods and some weird question popping out every once in a while.
They soon reached Hogwarts, and the girls exchenged a nervous galnce as they got out of the train and were directed to the lake.
