On The Way To Hogwarts
Soon enough, September the 1st came. Cindy woke up that morning with energy and happiness, for the second time, she woke up in a good mood. Since it was rare, everyone cherished it.
Just like the day they visited Hogsmeade, Cindy woke up early once again. Andormeda is grateful but Lionel is annoyed, Ted is finding the situation funny. Cindy is worried about missing the train.
" Lionel go and dress will you! Auntie go and eat! Uncle Ted go to bath", Cindy instructed everyone. No one dared to argue, Cindy isn't the best person to fight with. Only Dora stayed in the shadows hoping to go unnoticed.
But her luck is awful because Cindy noticed her and scowled. Dora chuckled nervously, Cindy pointed to her bedroom and Dora put her head down and went to change her clothes.
Even though they woke up at eight, they still were late. If Lionel bathed earlier, and if Andormeda didn't give a comment to each person about the clothes their wearing and if Ted haven't decided to eat more today. They would have been there by 10.

At last, they arrived at 10:48. Lionel quickly took off into the train to find his friends. Cindy hugged the Tonks as a goodbye and promised to visit at Christmas. She decided to find a free compartment to sit in with Ron, hopefully, she would meet Tasha.
*
After finding an empty compartment and levitating her trunk and Najim's cage up. She sat down and looked at the platform where many children and teenagers are saying goodbye for their families.
Suddenly the door opened and Cindy looked up to see... Tasha!
" Hello can I sit he-", Tasha begun before she realized who is the one in the compartment. She gave a wide smile and squealed in delight.
" Cindy!", Tasha screamed running to hug Cindy. " Tasha!", Cindy said jumping from her place and met her new friend in a hug.
" I knew we would meet again", Tasha said pulling away a little so she could see Cindy's face.
Cindy grinned and hugged her once again. There was a sound of someone clearing his throat. The two pulled away to find Ron standing outside the compartment with an amused look on his face.
" Uhh... Cindy who is this?", Ron asked pointing to Tasha. Cindy wanted to laugh at the ridiculous scene but held it up inside her.
" Oh Ron, this is Letasha Kayamboo, you can call her Tasha, I met her after you left and I went to Madame Malkin's", Cindy said guiding Ron forward.
" Tasha, this is my friend Ronald Weasley, call him Ron", she introduced the two. Ron and Tasha shook hands and the door opened for the third time.
This time, a small skinny boy with messy black hair and emerald green eyes came into the view he could've been any other boy if not for the scar with the shape of a lightning bolt on his forehead. Merlin! This is-
" Harry Potter!", Ron said as he dropped Tasha' hand. In one blink of an eye, the boy was surrounded by the three of them.
" Uhh.. yes that's me", the boy - Harry Potter - said awakwardly. From his awkwardness and nervousness, the boy obviously isn't used to such big attention.
" My name is Ron Weasley, call me Ron", Ron said as he shook Harry Potter's hand excitedly. The boy gave a weak smile.
" I'm Cindy Black", Cindy said with a small smile as to not make the boy more awkward. It seemed to work because the boy gave a small genuine smile in return.
" Tasha Kayamboo", Tasha introduced herself.
" I'm Harry Potter but you can just call me Harry", Harry said shaking each hand of theirs. " Do you mind if I sit here with you guys?", he asked hopefully.
" Sure".
" No problem".
" You're welcome mate".
Harry gave a sigh of relief. He really is glad that finally someone isn't gasping and screaming at the sight of him. Well, not like everybody, but still he is thankful.

Soon enough, all four were sitting on the comfortable seats and talking.
Tasha explained more of her past and how she moved her recently with her family because her father is getting a job at the Ministry of Magic here. Harry gave little information but told about his last remaining relatives so they changed the subject. Ron and Cindy shared about their lives and many funny memories from their past.
"... then Fred and George blew the whole room which left Mom angry and they blamed Percy and she yelled at him and he had to wash the clothes for two whole weeks without magic!", Ron finished his story laughing hysterically and everyone followed.
The four quickly became close friends in mere hours. By sitting in a compartment and sharing memories and laughs, they felt a strong bond like no other. It felt good to be part of a group of friends.
The door opened to reveal an old lady pushing a trolley full of sweets. " Anything from the trolley dears?", she asked with a motherly smile, Ron gave a longing sigh as he stared at the sweets.
Harry noticed and took out a couple of galleons and handed them to the old lady. " We will have them all", Harry said throwing his three new friends a wide smile which they returned.
The whole compartment was soon filled with chocolate frogs, pumpkin pies and many other sweets. Harry happened to come across a card for Albus Dumbledore.
" Do you guys know him?", Harry asked as he showed them the card. Cindy nodded and Ron looked at him as if he is mad.
" Well, who doesn't?! He is the most known and greatest wizard of our time!", Ron almost yelled causing Cindy to shush him and Tasha giggled.
" I know him, he is a family friend. He teaches me how to control my wandless magic", Cindy said shrugging easily.
Tasha and Harry looked at her dumbfounded. " What?", Cindy asked confused as to why they are staring at her like this.
" You can do wandless magic?!", Tasha asked shockingly while Harry just sat there in shock.
Cindy realized she still didn't tell them about her power. " Ohhh yeah", Cindy said as she remembered herself. " Yes I do".
" Awesome!", Harry exlaimed and his eyes lit up in both curiosity and excitement.
" Can you show us?", Tasha said scooting closer to Cindy. Cindy smiled and gave a small nod, she moved her hand to the trunk and it flew in the air.
Everyone gasped and clapped. " This is amazing!", Tasha exlaimed excitedly.
Harry and Ron agreed, Cindy thanked them all and placed it back in it's place.
The door opened yet for the fourth time. Ron groaned in annoyance for two reasons; one. This door opened way too many times. two. It's the same girl from Diagon Alley.
Cindy goraned too at the sight of the girl. The girl too didn't seem too happy to see them.
" I'm here to ask you one question, this boy;", she said pushing a sandy-haired boy into the view. " Neville, has lost his toad, have you seen it?", she asked in the same annoying bossy voice.
" No", came the answer from the four together. Ron scowled at her which she returned.
" Why don't you just leave?", Ron said rudely. Cindy would have scolded him at any other time but she dislikes this girl way too much to bother.
" You're so rude", she snapped annoyed. Cindy wanted to scof, as if she is the one who is annoyed while she is the one who is being annoying.
" Is someone having a problem with my little sister?", a male voice asked from behind. They all looked to see Lionel with a boy who has brown chocolate eyes and black hair and a girl with brown hair and blue eyes.
The girl humphed and left them alone. Lionel came into the compartment with his usual smirk and playful nature.
" Hey guys!", he said casually and throwing Cindy a rare and genuine smile. His sister is the only one who he smiles at, it's like nature.
" Hey Lionel", Cindy said smiling at him. " Guys, this is my older brother, Lionel".
Lionel waved and shook their hands as they introduced themselves.
Somehow, they didn't overreact when they saw Harry, which he was thankful for.
" Those are Diana Williams and John Smith", Lionel said pointing at the boy and girl on his sides.
" You guys better change", Diana advised them. " We're almost there".
" Boys change alone and girls change alone too", John said taking a chocolate frog. " So this is where all the food disappeared!".
The four looked at each other and laughed. Lionel, Diana and John shrugged and took sweets and went away.
As John suggested, the boys changed alone and the girls changed alone.
Just as they finished and picked their things. The train stopped and whistled.
" Please leave your things in the train, they will go to Hogwarts after your sorting", a voice said through the speaker.
" Well, let's go to Hogwarts", Ron said as he threw his arms around on Cindy's and Harry's shoulders as Cindy threw her arm around Tasha's and went out to the platform and meet their new fate...
