Enuma wasn't sure if she should be excited or annoyed as she rested her head in her Queen's lap, trying to nurse a growing headache by attempting to take a nap. Sure she got the opportunity to learn new magic, at an actual castle of a school of all places, which was interesting at least, but what made not only her, but also the rest of the family and Shalltear annoyed was just how backwards the Wizarding World was. And considering that the Queen of her Peerage was centuries old, but had still adapted with the times (even if she struggled using a smartphone), that was saying something.
Said Queen had chosen to go with and (after some convincing) stick with the look of an early bloomer. As a Vampire, Shalltear was very pale for obvious reasons and had red eyes. While her reincarnation into a Devil made her able to be in daylight, her skin was still very sensitive and burned easily. The fact that she had long silvery hair, which she kept tied in a ponytail with a ribbon, made her stand out and as a result quite difficult to miss. Which meant that she wasn't surprised when she heard someone knocking on the door of the train compartment and simply looked up from her book (titled: How to Use a Smartphone for Dummies).
"It's open." Stated Shalltear as she turned her attention towards the door of the compartment. The Vampire's statement prompted whoever was at the door to open it and stick their head in, revealing that the person knocking was a bushy haired girl that was most likely a fellow first year. "Can I help you?"
"Mind if I sit here? I've asked some other compartments and most of them told me to leave… with varying amounts of rudeness." Replied the new arrival.
"Sure. Go ahead. But please, try to keep it down. My friend here is trying to take a nap." Shalltear indicated that she was referring to the redhead who was resting her head in the very pale girl's lap.
"Thanks. I take it you two know each other considering your… position. The name's Hermione by the way. Hermione Granger."
"Shalltear Bloodfallen. This is Enuma Gremory. And yes. We know each other."
"Bloodfallen? Sounds like the name of a vampire."
"Yeah. I get that a lot." The Vampire couldn't help but flash a grin of amusement at the Witch's, Hermione Granger apparently, comment, as said Witch sat down on the opposite side of the compartment, while Shalltear herself put her book away. A grin filled with mostly normal teeth, the only noticeable exception being the longer than normal canines, which was a smart choice on Shalltear's part, seeing as a shark-like one (achieved through shape-shifting) would be rather intimidating if not downright scary.
"Well you do look the part… no offense." Replied Hermione nervously.
"None taken."
"I give up. You're being noisy. I'll never be able to take a nap at this rate." Stated Enuma grumpily as she sat up, speaking up for the first time since Hermione entered the compartment. The redhead noticed the bushy haired girl sitting on the opposite side of the compartment, opposite to her Queen, looking at her with a look of curiosity, at the redhead's violet eyes to be more specific. "Can I help you?"
"Not really. Pretty eyes." Replied Hermione, seemingly absentmindedly. Which earned her a raised eyebrow from Enuma and a quick laugh from Shalltear.
"Eh… thank you?" Enuma's apparent confusion caused Hermione's own brown eyes to widen as she seemed to realize what she just said.
"Oh! Sorry."
"Don't be. It was a compliment after all… and I'm quite aware that my eye color isn't all that common. Anyway, as Shalltear said, I'm Enuma Gremory. Nice to meet you."
"You already know my name, but still. I'm Hermione Granger, nice to meet you two. So, you excited about this? I mean, magic and all?"
"I've known about magic my entire life, but I'll admit that learning new magic is exciting." Admitted Enuma. "How about you?"
"I'm excited. Only learned that magic was real a few months ago."
"Really? Do I assume correctly that you're a… first-gen?" Asked Shalltear politely, but it seemed that she was about to say something else instead of first-gen, only to change the word in response to the blink-and-you'll-miss-it glare Enuma sent her.
"I'm the first member of my family with magic if that's what you're asking." Replied Hermione, apparently missing Shalltear's short pause. "What about you two?"
"I'm not the first in the family with magic. Hell. I'm not even the youngest. That'd be my nephew."
"You have a nephew? How?"
"My big brother is several years older than me and my big sister. And married." Deadpanned Enuma, ignoring her Queen who let out another laugh.
"That's one way of putting it. Also I'm not the first in my family to have magic either, but I am the last… for now at least." Stated Shalltear as she calmed down her laughter.
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Now that, my dear, is for me to know and for you to not find out."
