We arrived in a dark ally way just across the street from the train station and Aunt Alec handed me a wrapped package and said "Open this when you are alone." Then she pulled me into a hug and said "Be good, be safe and come home soon." I was so startled when she released me that I almost missed th single tear running down her face. I thought about Aunt Alec as I walked across the busy street and into the station. Alec was never one for big showy displays of affection so if she hugged me that meant that she was really worried. I could only wonder why she was worried. I walked through the barrier that led to platform 9 ¾ and took a deep breath as I strode forward. Still lost in thought, when something, no it was some one a group of someones ran into me and sent me flying. I lay there on the ground for a minute irritated at myself for not keeping a better eye on my surroundings. I sat up and saw that when I fell and dropped my stuff the shrinking spell on my things had broken. "Fuck me!" I said under my breath as I gathered my things and once again shrunk tem down. Where is that book? I thought to my self. I had all my stuff except one book "Ehem" I looked up at the sound of someone clearing their throaght. I saw a tall slim young man with long dark hair(slightly greasy) with dark eyes an pale skin. He gave me a moment to look before he shoved my copy of The Worlds Most Potent Poisons and Their Uses in Potion Making. " Thank you for your help…" I trailed off after extending my hand and not knowing his name. "Snape, Severus Snape," He said taking my hand. "You know most students wouldn't have this book let alone understand its passages and have even less hope of brewing them," he finished with a sly grin. "Well most students arn't apprenticed to potions masters before they even graduate, but alas I have always been unusual," I said with a smirk of my own. "Sorry Severus where are my manners my name is Cecily Gaunt thank you for helping me with my things. Do you know if there is a place where I can sit that wont be around to many people? I don't feel like being bombarded with questions yet." I said with a small shy smile. He gave me a small smile and gestured for me to come with him. I followed him through the train to the very last compartment and sat down. I leaned against the seat and thought Maybe this wont be so bad after all…
