Love at First Sight
He tiredly sighed, plopping into a booth before gazing out the window, bored. Only parents and younger siblings were still on the platform, waving and/or smiling. He closed his eyes, ready to nap the entire trip. 'How troublesome…'
A quiet knock sounded, making him slowly open his eyes to see the compartment door open, revealing a small, bashful ravenette. She fidgeted and shyly asked, "Err… m-may I sit with you…?"
He felt his eyes widen a bit. She was… "…cute." Her cheeks darkened a bit, alerting him that she heard. He felt his cheeks burn; he coughed and quickly stuttered, "S-sure." He mentally cursed at his stutter.
Blush under control, the ravenette shot him a stunning smile, which made his heart beat faster, before entering and sitting in the booth opposite him. She stretched her hand out, introducing herself, "I'm Ashlin Potter. It's nice to meet you."
He reached out and took her hand, placing a kiss on it. He watched her face as her emerald eyes widened and another blush graced her cheeks. He smirked, slowly releasing her hand. "A pleasure to meet you. I'm Sylias, Sylias Slytherin." 'Well,' he mused, 'I think I'm in love.'
