belongs to me!
The Hogwarts Express chugged along the bright countryside, while Lolina sat watching. A lightly older man was in the compartment with her, wearing dark purple robes and tie. His hair was reddish brown, in a slight spiked cut. But his eyes were what caught her the most. He had the most beautiful gray eyes she'd ever seen.
'He can't be a student, probably a new teacher,' she thought.
She looked back out the window.
"New student?" he suddenly said.
"Oh, yes. But I'll be in my 5th year. I'm transferring."
He lifts up, a smile coming across his face.
"So you're Lolina Riddle?"
"Um, yeah, who are you?"
"I'm Quirinus Quirrel, Professor Dumbledore picked me to be your guardian."
He sat down next to her, and they shook hands.
"I've heard of you before, but I can't remember why."
"Um, well, a few years ago, Voldemort infested me and tried to get to the Sorcerer's Stone," he replied, looking down at the floor.
"I remember hearing that, but I thought he killed you when he left your body?"
"No, Dumbledore saved me just in time. I was sent to the country to recover."
"Ok, but why is Dumbledore allowing you to teach, and to be my guardian?"
"How did you know I'm a professor again?"
"Your clothes make it very obvious," she replied with a casual smile.
"Well, you could pass for a professor yourself, you know," returning the smile.
Lolina's ears turned slightly pink. He was right, though. She was wearing her old school uniform because she wasn't able to get a Hogwarts one in time. It was the same dark violet color as her eyes. Her cloak was velvet, and the dress and hat were of silk.
"Anyway, you didn't answer my questions."
"Sorry, um, Dumbledore thinks it's best. He knew I was still capable of the job. And about being your guardian, well, since we're so close to Voldemort and such a treat to him, Dumbledore figured it best to have us both safe at Hogwarts."
"How are you a threat?"
"I shared a mind with him for a long time, I know how he thinks, and that's a bad thing for him."
"Oh, that makes sense. So what subject will you be teaching?"
"Defense Against the Dark Arts. I think you'll be my assistant, well, that's what Dumbledore called it. I really think that he's just having you there to keep an eye on me. He's having a room set up next to mine with a side door connecting them." He cheeks turned bright pink at this.
Lolina laughed. "Well, then I guess it would be best if we got to know each other better since we're going to be together so much."
A knock came on the door. "Anything from the trolley, dears?" asked a plump witch.
"Yes, please," Quirrel and Lolina said at once. They laughed and Quirrel out some Pumpkin Pastries, Cauldron Cakes and Chocolate Frogs for them.
"Thank you, professor," she said taking a pastry.
"No, please, call me Quin when're we're together."
"Alright, then you can call me Lo."
They laughed and talked as the train continued along the countryside.

please review! I'm really working hard on this, so I would really like to see how people feel about it!
