A New Friendship
The train horn blares
It's time to leave.
Children scramble to get onto the train
But I don't have to, I'm already on.
I've been on since it opened.
I've no friends to catch up with,
No family I want to hug
Or that want to hug me.
Of course I'm scared
What first year isn't?
I'm more frightened than them, though,
Much more.
He walks in, looking like a fallen angel
Black hair
Brilliant gray eyes.
He speaks to me.
"Sirius Black" (heavenly voice)
I hesitate,
Then shake his hand
"Remus Lupin."
This is going to be better than I thought.
