The sound of mothers and fathers giving their children heartfelt goodbyes, excited and tearful children giving their parents their last goodbyes, and the sound of engine filled the air. A few children stood alone as they stood to get on the train. A young girl with cold blue eyes stared up at the train.
Ela was, as usual, alone. Her parents had started to ignore her more after her sister's death. Ela, in turn, had grown even more cold and distant. She rarely smiled now and that her usual ones were fake and cold.
She stared dispassionately at the train. She had managed to convince her parents to let her go to Hogwarts. She cared little for it really; Hogwarts was a tad too light for her tastes. However, she had a strong feeling that she needed to go here something big was going to happen and she would be part of it.
Pursing her lips, she frowned. A jittery house elf was next to her, obviously nervous. It was one of the few ones she had lost her temper at and had always been wary of her since then.
"Mitty" she said cooly, the house elf turning to her with big eyes as she did so "Bring me my things." The elf nervously tugged her things towards her, carefully not ruining anything lest she loose her temper with it again.
She turned towards the elf and told it strictly "If I call you, you will come. No matter what you are doing you come immediately. Understood?" The elf nodded it's head and disappeared with a pop as she waved it away.
Smirking, Ela grabbed her things and headed into the train. Oh yes, she would do great, great but terrible, things here. Just watch her.
