Jaune was not too proud to admit going to Hogwarts was scary despite the fact he had wanted to go the best possible school. His entire family had all been to Hogwarts and Jaune was boarding the train with Comprime perched on his shoulder and trunk rolling behind him. It didn't help that he was from America and had only just came to Britain to study. He didn't know anyone and was now going to be alone. His parents weren't exactly supportive when he wanted to go to Hogwarts, thinking that he wasn't magically talented enough.

He wished he could show them how much Bianca and Lumen had been trying to give him a hand with wandless magic, but he was scared they'd be mad at him for practicing without their consent. Plus, being able to barely lift objects, lightening them, or shoving them away wasn't all that impressive when his sisters were able to accidentally apparate, make plants grow, set fire to bullies, and levitate themselves higher than he could lift a cup. He was lucky they could just put it as accidental magic rather than anything intentional.

He looked back at the platform and swallowed down a lump in his throat and blinked the stinging in his eyes away before any tears welled up and escaped.

They didn't even come to see him off? Not even Bianca and Lumen?

He gently stroked his white and grey owl on the head, "Go Com, we'll meet at the castle okay?"

The owl hooted in concern and stared at him.

He gave his avian familiar a weak grin, "I'm okay."

The owl hooted softly and gently nipped at his hair before flying off into the sky. The blonde took a deep breath and readied himself to get onto the train, lugging his trunk behind him. He was going to best wizard ever, make his family see he wasn't useless, and nothing would stop him. Suddenly two arms wound around him and lifted him into the air. He yelped and squirmed only to see Bianca and Lumen smiling at him.

He blinked in surprise before whispering, "You came? But didn't you both have important things to do?"

Lumen walked over to him as Bianca set him down and ran a hand softly through his hair, kneeling to match his height, "We meant we were going to see you off little Jay. What could be more important that that?"

Jaune smiled widely, and buried his face in his sister's shoulder while hugging her, "But nobody else even wanted to! Thank you!"

Had he not been too busy hugging his sister, he might of noticed the angry scowl on Lumen's face and the grimace on Bianca's. He let go of Lumen and wrapped his arm's around Bianca's waist, who laughed and patted him on the head.

"Knock 'em dead, ok Jay?" She said, "Remember about training those spells we taught you in case of bullies!

"Promise!" He replied, smiling happily.

He saw the time and quickly got onto the train and pulled his trunk behind him, "Bye! Promise me you'll write?"

"Everyday if you want!" Bianca replied.

He gave his two sisters a shy smile and said, "Only when you want to."

The train whistled and Jaune hugged them tightly one last time before scurrying out of sight.

Bianca sighed in annoyance as soon as Jaune was gone, "They really don't care enough for him do they?"

Lumen shrugged, frown evident, "Jaune's a great kid and an even better person, the fact they don't see that and judged him only by his outward shows of magic only shows how shallow they are."


Jaune managed to find and empty compartment and smiled as he took out his wand and swiped it over his trunk and cast a lightening charm (one of the first Bianca had him use when she made him practice). He quickly pulled out a few books to read and stored it in the overhead compartment. His family was rich and more than well off with his sisters all working jobs, but his family didn't want to waste money on getting him a new trunk that was magically enhanced when it was unnecessary. They had simply recycled Bianca's old trunk and that was enchanted for the compartments to be the size of a small closet for each of the five compartments, and was sturdy and made of dragon scale. It was fine by him though, and it being Bianca's old Hogwarts trunk only made it better in his eyes. He began to read about some of the spells for the first year when his compartment door slid open and a blonde girl and black haired girl looked in.

"Hi! Mind if we sit here? Everywhere seems full." The blond said enthusiastically.

He nodded and said, "Sure. That's fine."

The girl smiled and pulled her trunk in before he offered to give her a hand and they both managed to heave it up onto the storage rack. He was about to help the black-haired girl when she simply placed her bag onto the floor next to her and quickly pulled out a book.

"So, my name's Yang! Yang Xiao-long" The blonde greeted enthusiastically, "Who're you?"

Jaune closed the book he was reading and turned to face her, "I'm Jaune, it's nice to meet you."

"Isn't it?" Yang joked, grinning.

Jaune snorted and turned to dark-haired girl, "Hi."

She looked up with yellow eyes and nodded at him, "Hello."

Yang elbowed her and she sighed, "Blake Belldonna, nice to meet you."

Jaune shrugged, "Well you probably already heard me, but I'm Jaune."

Blake nodded and went back to her reading.

Yang sighed, "She's always reading."

Jaune smiled, "I thinks it's fine, I like reading a lot too."

Yang leaned forward, staring intently at him, "By the way, I wanted to ask, but you seem to be from America, like me and Blake here."

Jaune chuckled awkwardly and scratched the back of his head, "Yeah… I'm from America. I came here to study, plus I thought it would be cool to see another magical community."

Yang blinked, "Really? That's exactly what I wanted to see as well! Everyone was trying to get me to stay home, but I just had to see Hogwarts, they say that it's the best magical school in the whole world!"

Yang began rattling off more and more comments and Jaune leaned away, looking increasingly worried, "Um…"

Blake nudged her, "Yang… could you slow down, I don't think he can keep up."


Wrote this a LOOONG while back.

Ah well.
