Xel sat in the last car of the Hogwarts Express, alone. Her shoulder-length black hair fell onto a thick, leather-bound book as her gold-tinted eyes scanned the old, yellow pages. A grim expression was laid on her unnaturally pale face. A deep sigh of depression escaped her chest as she set the book down next to her and gazed out the window.
This was Xel's sixth year at Hogwarts, and she still had almost no friends, or at least, had none that cared about her. The evening sun started to disappear behind the mountains, signaling that their destination was not much further. A small, black owl rested peacefully on her rounded shoulder, hooting happily in Xel's ear.
The door of the compartment opened, pulling Xel's attention away from distant memories. In walked the four people she strongly detested. James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew. A hateful glare issued out to them from under the hair that had fell into her disgusted face. She cowered further into the seat, hiding her face, hoping to not be discovered by the four.
Yet, James having always found a way to torture her, smirked, taking a seat right across from the disgusted Xel.
"Hmmm, did the greasy git number two have a good summer?" He asked mockingly, signaling the others to take a seat next to him. Xel continued to stay silent, glaring with a blind hatred.
"Aww, isn't she gonna answer me?" He chuckled, also bringing out a loud snort from Sirius. Sighing, he got up, walking back over to the door of the compartment. "You're boring, Deathie." He spat as the four scurried out of the compartment, leaving Xel alone with her little black owl.
"Brainless cowards." She muttered to herself, picking up the book once more.
The sun now had completely disappeared behind the mountains now, bringing on the tension of their arrival. The train started to slow down, causing the commotion of students to rise as they fretfully collected their things. The train stopped, and the doors opened. And for the sixth time in Xel life, she stepped into the hell-hole of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
To Be continued. :D
