Train Ride Chemistry
Series: Your stay at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
"Good bye Mum!" Julia says while hugging her tightly.
"You behave now, Jules." Says her mom, letting go of her at last
"I will, don't worry so much, 'kay?" Julia replies.
"Alright, now have fun!"
"Bye Mum"
And with that she boarded the train. Excited, she had to find a compartment to sit in. Full… full… full… half full… Jesus, are there no compartments not too empty? Julia thought to herself. Oh, here's one! She opens the compartment door and sticks her carry-on bag near the window, and plops down next to it. Sighs Well, I'm sure I will meet some one, maybe even a couple of people.
Just as if this thought traveled outside the compartment, a sudden tapping on the door interferes with her day dreams. As she snap out of it, she realizes some one is at the door.
"Yes?" Julia says.
"Yeah, hi. Um, do you mind if we join you? Everywhere else is full." Says a girl who looks about your age
"No, c'mon in."
"Thanks." Says a boy following the girl.
"No problem, I'm Julia by the way."
"Oh, I'm sorry! I'm Hermione Granger," says the girl, "and this is Ron," gesturing the boy who had spoken earlier. His hair is flaming red and he has many freckles.
"And I'm Harry" says a boy with messy black hair as dark as the midnight sky and deep, green eyes one could easily find them self lost in.
"Oh sorry Harry!" says Hermione.
"That's ok" he replies.
Hermione sits down opposite of Julia with Ron to her right. Harry sits next to Julia, although, they are sitting closer to each other than Hermione and Ron are. She doesn't seem to mind that much. Harry's not that bad looking either. Not that bad at all…
"So, are you the new girl every ones talking about? I mean, I don't believe I've seen you before." Hermione says making Julia snap out of her daydreams yet again.
"Yeah, that would be me," she says
"She's not that bad looking either" Ron mumbled to Harry
"You do realize I can hear you, right?" she asks
Ron's ears turned the color of apples.
"Apparently not," says Hermione causing the two girls begin to snort with laughter.
"Sorry" says Ron
"Oh, don't worry about it. I took it as a compliment," Julia says
"Oh good" says Harry
"Well, anyway, Harry I'm hungry-"says Ron
"Nothings changed there" mutters Hermione
The two girls begin to snort again.
"So, like I was saying, Harry please come with me to get some food" continues Ron
"Sure" says Harry
Harry and Ron get up and leave the compartment. As soon as the door shuts Hermione turns to you.
"Oh my god!" she says
"What?"
"I have never seen Harry look at a girl the way he keeps lookin' at you."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean I have known him long enough to know he likes you,"
"We've only known each other for 20 minutes"
"Yeah, but I'm telling you, he's already hooked"
Meanwhile back in the hall…
"Ron, what's this about? You don't normally go to get food till 12, its only 11:30" says Harry
"Yeah but I had to take you away from her"
"From who?"
"Julia, that's who"
"Why?"
"'Cause you've been staring at her the entire time we've been in that compartment"
"Have not"
"Have too. And if I didn't know any better, I'd say you like her"
"Is it that obvious?"
"You might as well wear a sign saying 'I like Julia' mate"
"Well, what am I gunna do?"
"Ask her out"
"What?"
"She's been lookin' at you just the same way, she'll definitely say yes."
"But I don't even know her that well"
"But you know her enough to like her"
"True"
"C'mon, let's go back to the compartment"
The compartment door slides open and Julia and Hermione quickly stop talking about Harry.
"Where's your food?" says Hermione
"They didn't even have it prepared yet" says Ron
Ron takes the seat he had before while Harry sits down even closer to Julia than before, so that their pinky fingers are touching. The rest of the train ride they all share stories of their pasts. As they arrive at the Hogwarts Station, a hand grabs Julia's shoulder; she turns around to see…
