Chapter Three: Trip to Hogwarts

A few weeks later

She walked up to the train, not with a grin or a frown just
with a blank expression on her face. Blank. It seem anyone ever seen of
her was a blank person, a person with a tragic past and a blank future.
Blank. That's me, plain old blank. She went into a compartment alone and
sat there alone. Alone. Always and always will be alone.

Second girl

She almost got there late but she still made it. The only
compartment she could find that wasn't almost filled up was a compartment
with a lonely girl. Lonely. She smiled as she thought of the word sitting
down, such a short word with a wide meaning. They caught each other eyes
and in that same moment, five seconds at the most, something went through
them both, almost like an understanding. After they looked away, each
without saying a word and without knowing, they shook hands and in that
same moment they made a silent agreement, they were friends. Friends. She
let that stink in for a while until she was comfortable with it and
smiled at her newest friend.

Back to the first girl

As she looked to her newest friend she couldn't help but smile
back as she thought. My first real friend. They traveled the rest of the
way in silence.

Both girls' thought before getting off the train to their new school: I
can get through this with my friend.
