Train Ride to Hogwarts

-x-x-x-

Time passed quickly, much more quickly than Kagome had wanted it to. She knew that with the coming of September first, she'd only get to see her dad in class and on rare occasions...detention or something. She had not yet come to terms with the idea that she'd not see him for a while besides in classes, nor would she get hugs from him...that one hurt her the most.

"Stop fidgeting, will you!" Draco said in annoyance as they entered an empty compartment. They were one of the first ones to board the train, her father having left earlier that week, had left her with the Malfoy's, who were generally...early or on time to everything. Early being the case today. Pushing her trunk above the seats, she sat down with a huff.

Kagome gently punched Draco as he sat down beside her.

"What was that for?!" He shook his head, a small smile alit his face. "Look, your dad will be at Hogwarts when we arrive, I won't get to see mine for a whole semester, so stop acting like it's the end of the world."

Sighing, Kagome glanced out her window, students just now starting to arrive, she grinned and quickly undid the latches of her window before pushing it open and popping her head out of the compartment window. "Blaise!"

Draco stood to peer out the window, grinning at his long time Italian friend who was bidding farewell to his mother before turning his eyes and setting them on the two.

"Hold a spot, will ya~!"

Kagome nodded, grinning ear to ear as he began his dash to get inside before the train filled up too much.

"So guess what,"

Kagome cocked her head curiously as she turned her attention to Draco who was removing his jumper and pulling out his wand to get a better look at now that his parents weren't looming over him. "What?"

"A whole semester without my mum or dad...a whole semester without parents."

Kagome raised a brow, "you do realize that if you step a foot out of line, your Godfather, my father, will write home to your father, immediately...right?"

Draco lowered his wand at that stark realization, sighing, he placed the wand back in his sleeve where he'd had it hidden away safely. "I always seem to forget that."

"Don't know how, considering how often we come to your house,"

The compartment door slid open and their Suave Italian friend made his way inside with his trunk in hand. "Fellow classmates, excited for our first years?!"

"Not as much as you are," Draco frowned, "what is wrong with you?"

Kagome laughed, "Did your mother bring back another father for you?"

The big smile on Blaise's face slowly soured, "barmy old man told me he wanted to spend the winter with me, just us guys getting to know each other."

"An old man!? Your mother usually has such refined taste in wizards, Blaise, how old is he really?"

"...He's eight years my senior."

"NINETEEN!?"

Blaise sighed, closing the compartment behind him and settling down on his trunk with his back to the compartment door. "Yes, nineteen. I thought it was a joke, but the guy's already a Prime Minister of Foreign Affairs, and holds a rather impressive status in Italy. Not only that, but he's filthy rich, like...Malfoy Rich..."

Kagome frowned, "doubtful,"

Draco laughed.

"Fine, not Malfoy Rich, but nothing to turn your nose up at either."

"Well, I'm sure it won't last long...Blaise, she's a maverick...conformity isn't her way. Even if she's a high-class witch, she's far more free-spirited then say...Narcissa is."

Nodding, Malfoy added, "truly a free-spirited witch, that one, but she is a powerful one despite her...quirky personality. Look, Blaise, don't worry about your mother or father, I'm sure this is only a phase."

"Dear Merlin I hope so," The group continued to chat, it wasn't long until the train started moving. Blaise had transferred his trunk to the shelf above where Kagome's and Draco's was, relocating to the seat across from Draco as they discussed the sorting that they'd heard so much about. They knew what would happen, their parents had filled them in. They all suspected they'd be Slytherin's, which was fine with them. Their parents would probably wind up in St. Mungo's should that ancient hat call out any other name that wasn't Slytherin.

Hours passed and the sun was at its absolute highest, three in the afternoon. The sun would soon start to retrace its rise and set below the horizon. Something that sounded much like whispering could be heard outside their door. Draco motioned to Blaise to crack the door, which he gently did. Something was exciting the other students on the train, and naturally, they wanted to know what that was.

"-ou hear?"

"I did, but I haven't seen him yet."

"Barmy! I saw him! I saw his scar!"

"SHH~!"

"...s-sorry..."

"Neville, you said you saw his scar? You saw, Harry Potter's scar?!"

Kagome turned her eyes wildly at Draco, she knew Harry Potter, not personally, and not how many other students might. She knew of him through her father. He had told her of his hearts first true love, of the best friend he'd lost, of how his antagonist at school had stolen her heart away, and ultimately caused him and the woman to have a huge falling out. He told her, so that it would never happen to her, so that maybe she could do differently, what he'd done wrong. She knew that the Potter's were killed and he had found the baby, her father had arrived first...had found the lost love of his life first... She knew Harry Potter, not him personally, but well enough to know, she wanted to know more.

The door slid shut as the group's voices faded down the train corridor, Draco was eyeing Kagome curiously, not sure what it was that was going on through her head, but knowing she was completely consumed with whatever thoughts were in there.

Kagome closed her eyes, a soft frown, though heavy with emotion, was worn on her lips as she spoke, "Harry Potter..."
