Chapter 2:
Moon, confused still by this boy kindness towards her after all she had done, began walking on to the train as well.
She had lost sight of the boy and was unsure on what she was supposed to do.
She remembered what Dumbledore had told her 'When you reach the station give your bags to the train attendant and then once on board find a compartment, sit down, relax and before the train meets Hogwarts change into your robes. Good Luck!"
Moon began smiling to herself; she looked forward to seeing Dumbledore again it felt like forever since she had last seen him. She began walking slowly searching each cabin for an empty one, hoping that she wouldn't have to sit with anyone.
Eventually she found the most emptiest of all, containing only one boy who seemed fast asleep in the corner. She slipped in before a crowd of people bustled past almost smashing the glass in the window.
The door made such a bang she was sure the boy would have woken but to her surprise he still lay asleep not moving at all.
She took a seat opposite the boy making no sound as she sat. She got out her favourite muggle book which, since she had brought it, she had read a thousand times over, Jane Eyre. She opened it up to page sixty four, began reading her face being hidden away by the paper pages.
Soon after Moon began reading a loud bang, indistinctively the noise of the glass door, disturbed her she did not lift her head but instead buried her face further into the pages.
A familiar voice soon followed the noise of the door, "This cabin seems the most empty! Potter we could use this one." It was Sirius he had somehow been reunited with Moon after all. Moon acted as if she didn't know of their existence secretly listening to what the boys had to say.
Soon after Sirius had finished speaking, what could only be the Potter boy, began speaking, "Yer! Thanks Sirius I would never had found one on my own. You sure don't mind sharing with me?" She distinctively heard a laugh then the Potter boy carried on with a laugh hidden in his voice, "Of course you don't!" Moon peeked over her book just in time to see the Potter boy wink in Sirius's direction.
The Potter boy and Sirius's personalities seemed to identical yet they were still so different. The Potter boy was tall and thin just like Sirius, his appearance was rather attractive but not like Sirius. His face was cheerful, especially when he was laughing or talking of himself. Potter's eyes were enlarged by his glasses and hazel like the trunk of a tree. His teeth were gleaming like the sun with a brilliant white, a close call to Sirius's. His hair was thick and black; untidy and sticking up, as if it were a hedgehog, at the back. He began messing it up even more before him and Sirius took a seat.
Moon hid her face back in her book, making sure Sirius didn't catch a glimpse of her face. "So James, you know anyone starting Hogwarts as well as you?"
Moon became transfixed by then conversation, no longer paying any attention to her book; she had read it enough times to know what it was about any way.
She sat still, listening and waiting on each word the two of them said. "Na not really! So far I only know Sirius Black!" They both bellowed with laughter.
She had an uncontrollable urge to peak over her book, to see the laughing faces of James and Sirius but she held back. James took a deep breath and began speaking once more, "What about you Sirius?" Sirius fell silent for a few moments, Moon was unsure on whether it was to think or to hide something.
Maybe he didn't want to say her name? Maybe that was the reason behind him running away? Did he know something about her that he didn't like? "Uh… Well… I already have a few family members that are already at Hogwarts.
But they don't count as they aren't new comings and I am not very close to them." Silence fell over the two of them which was soon broken.
"So you only know me then?!" James had made an obvious egotistical comment about himself but it soon pushed out of the air. "Oh ha hardy ha!" The two began laughing again; Moon could tell quite easily the two of them would become great friends in the near future.
"No, I do know someone other than you that is starting Hogwarts today." Sirius stuck out his tongue, "I met a girl… A girl called Moon. Moon… HILDEGARDE!" Sirius shouted her surname as if he had forgotten it but he reassured James that he hadn't.
Moon began to blush, she had never been spoken about kindly and as Sirius described her to James he spoke with such care and consideration she felt her heart thumping in her chest.
