Cira walked towards the barrier with her parents. It was the first year that she would be able to go to Hogwarts School of witchcraft and Wizardry. She was excited but nervous all the same. Her parents had told her many stories of when they had been at Hogwarts, and how wonderful the castle was. However she could help but feel somewhat apprehensive about going to school. Cira was a witch but her family had insisted on living in a muggle town. While she had made friends easily, they had all been muggles.
"Don't worry dear" said her mother, "You will be fine. Your such a nice little girl, you will make plenty of friends. Now go on and find somewhere to sit." Cira could tell her mother was trying to be helpful, but it wasn't totally working. Mrs. Thomas bent down to give her daughter a quick hug and then hurried her over to the train.
Cira made her way onto the train and looked for an empty compartment. She finally found one at the very end of the train. She slid her bag off her shoulder and set it down on the bench across from her. This is going to be a very long year. she thought.
After about a half an hour of staring out of the window, she started to here noises out in the corridor. She made her way over to the door and slid it open. She looked up the corridor and saw a brown hared boy walking back towards the corridor. She quickly went back to her seat and started to read her charms book. A few seconds later the boy from the corridor was standing in the doorway to her compartment.
"Do you mind if I join you, every where else is full?" Cira nodded and the boy sat down across from her. "So, you a first year?" he looked over to Cira and she nodded. "Me too. I'm Remus Lupin. What's your name?"
"I'm Cira, Cira Thomas."
"Cool. Hey, what house do you think you will be in? I bet I'll be in Gryffindor, that's where my parents were." He continued to look over at Cira. She just smiled and went back to her reading. Maybe she's just shy. Yeah, I'll bet that's it. Remus had never flat out been ignored by someone he didn't know. Plenty of people back home ignored him but he had never been ignored by a complete stranger that he was trying to be nice to. Once again the door opened and two shaggy black hared boys walked in. They took seats on either side of Remus and they talked the rest of the way to Hogwarts.
