It was a bright September morning, and Emily VanHades was in a very bad mood from the heat. She was wearing a dark maroon tank top and a black pleated skirt that went to her knees. The gentle breeze, made wisps of her mahogany hair escape from the loose bun it was twisted in. Closing her dark violet eyes, to shield them from the sun, she entered the station.
Emily passed through the gates of King's Cross station and nicked a trolley from a woman who temporarily turned her back on the trolley. Throwing her bags into the trolley, she made way to platform 9 and 3/4. As she made way through the late morning crowds, she wondered where Claude was. Keeping a close watch for fellow Slytherins, she spotted Draco Malfoy and Claude leaning casually against their trolleys not trying to look suspicious.
"Hello Claude," she greeted, smiling faintly, then turned to the blonde. "Draco."
"Time to go through," said Claude, going through the barrier. Then followed by Emily and Draco.
Passing through numerous compartments, most of them already filled with 1st years, they finally found one. Taking out her wand, Emily magicked the curtains closed. "Bloody sunlight," she muttered, seating her self.
"Did you hear about the attack on the Ministry? Killed 12 of their employees," said Draco, striking a conversation.
"Oh yes. That was a good kill for the Dark Lord. They killed a few key members," said Emily. "Like old Cedric's father."
Hermione Granger entered the three Slytherin's compartment, interrupting their conversation. Emily scowled and saw look of disdain on Claude's face. Though those two kept quiet, Draco decided to pursue Hermione. "What are you doing here, mudblood?" he growled.
At those words, Pansy followed by Crabbe and Goyle entered the compartment from the opposite door. When Pansy saw Hermione, her face twisted into an ugly sneer. "What are you doing here, Granger?"
Hermione glared at Pansy and Malfoy and merely said, "I was just passing through."
"Then pass through, quickly," said Draco, sharply. Hermione haughtily strode through the compartment, and the group of Slytherins were left pure again.
"Draco, darling, where have you been?" said Pansy, sitting up against him.
Emily rolled her eyes at Pansy's flirty behavior. Crabbe and Goyle robotically sat themselves a bit far away from Pansy and Draco, and began to stuff themselves with food they found in their pockets. Disgusted, Emily looked away. She was becoming very bored, so she interested herself by gazing at Claude.
She had never really realized how handsome Claude was. He looked a lot like his mother, Bellatrix Lestrange, but his hair was light brown, like his father, Rudolph. But Emily adored his dark brown eyes, with specks of gold. Though, she would never reveal these thoughts to anyone, for that would mean she was turning soft.
Noticing Pansy and Draco intensify their kiss, Emily stood up. Looking down at Claude who still sat there, staring out the opposite window, she said, "Time to change into our Hogwarts robes."
