Blairs PoV
I stood beside my mom nervously waiting. "You're going to do fine," my sister Andrina said; she was already wearing her uniform, her auburn hair in a tight bun. I nodded peering through the crowd in search of my friends, finally spotting them. I brushed my long curly auburn hair out of my face and waved to them. They spotted me and began to walk over,
"Hey, Hallie!" I said smiling at my friend; she was wearing a simple red t-shirt and jeans, her darkish blonde hair was hanging down her back, long and straight. She smiled back at me and I turned to my other friend. "Hey Shelby," I said, like Hallie, she was wearing a t-shirt and jeans, her hair was also blond but much lighter and sprung in curls that seemed to frame her face.
"Hey Blair, I like your highlights!" Shelby smiled. I had just streaked my hair with blonde highlights not long ago; Hallie had already seen them but this was Shelby's first time.
"Thanks. You guys nervous?" I asked them.
"Yeah, but Andy and Ramsey both say I'm going to enjoy it." Hallie shrugged. She was close with her brothers as were most magical families. Me and Shelby were both purebloods, meaning every member of our family had magic. Unlike most purebloods, Shelby's main family had nothing against half-boots or muggle-borns. Hallie's Mom is a witch and her dad is a muggle, but so far all of her siblings were magic. My parents and Sister didn't like me hanging out with Hallie. They are the kind that dislikes the muggle-borns and half-bloods, but I'm not like them.
"Where are your brothers and sister?" I asked Shelby.
She shrugged "Jordan is a Company Commander, Neal is a deputy Commander, Nicholas went off to find his friends, Eddies looking for his girlfriend and Suzanna is trying to find the quidditch team." As the youngest, Shelby had a lot to live up to, but she was super smart so we knew she would do fine.
"Here comes the train," Hallie said pointing as the pitch black locomotive pulled up. "The ride to school, also known as the last moments before we begin to regret this school." Hallie scoffed, a smirking grin sliding on her face.
"Why would we regret it?" I asked.
"Andy says we have to wake up at five in the morning," Hallie groaned. "I actually like sleep."
"Yeah, isn't it great?" I smile at her as she shot me a glare. Shelby shakes her head laughing as she grabs her bag.
"Come on, I want to get an empty compartment," she said. Me and Hallie nodded, grabbing our bags and boarding the train, searching until we found an empty compartment. Just as we stored our bags into the compartments above the seats, the doors slid open. My older brother Bryce walked in, his hands filled with papers.
"First-year schedules will be handed out at dinner after the sorting," He sneered, glaring at Hallie, who rolled her eyes at him. "You will have all day after the sorting to make up your bunkers and be issued uniforms and job duties." He said, turning on his heels and stomping out.
"Sorry about him, Hal," I said apologetically. "You would think that he would get his head out of his ass long enough to be civil," I said sourly, she just shrugged and laughed.
"It's okay, I'm used to it. Trust me, I don't need your brother and sister to like me; I'm not exactly the 'love the family' type." I smiled back at her.
"I smuggled in some Every Flavor beans and some color changing chocolate," Shelby said pulling a bag of candy from her suitcase. Me and Hallie laughed; we could always count on Shelby for a good time. I watched as Hallie's eyes lit up as she grabbed some candy, and shoved it in her mouth. I reach for a Color Changing Chocolate, watching it turn blue, then red, then pink. Each color was a different flavor so you had to suck on the chocolates and you can taste a bunch of different flavors. This one was blueberry, cherry, and bubblegum.
