A GLARE WAS SETTLED ON YOUR HETEROCHROMIA EYES AS YOU WALK THROUGH THE TRAIN StATION, KABURAMARU SETTLED AROUND YOUR NECK, SCARING THE CITIZENS, AND YOUR HOGWARTS TRUNK BEING DRAGGED BEHIND YOU ON A TROLLEY, JEREMY'S CAGE WAS SITTING ON TOP, HIM HOOTING MADLY AND BUZZING AROUND THE CAGE.
your eye twitches at the annoying little thing.
your scan the train station numbers, looking for platform 9 3/4, though your terrible eyesight not helping much.
you were sure there was no way a platform 9 3/4 could exist. what did that even mean?
but you walk along the path anyways, in search for this 'platform 9 3/4'. you 'tsk' as you find the last platform 9, instead now leading on to platform 10.
but your eyes shift to the side as a rather obnoxious group's voices hit your ears,
"every year, packed with muggles!"
your eyes drift to the trolleys they were carrying, you roll your eyes at their annoying loudness, but smirk in success as they had the same hogwarts trunks.
you stand back against a pillar, watching as the whole group of red-heads along with a tatty-looking black-haired boy who looked extremely malnourished.
once they were all through, your make your way to the pillar.
kaburamaru tightens around your neck slightly in nervousness as you run through the pillar without hesitation.
you scan the area in annoyance, people were bustling about, crying mothers sending their kids on the trains while the fathers watch in the back with a proud smile.
it was god awful.
after dropping your luggage into some poor man's arms who was already struggling with another person's luggage and threatening him that if he broke anything in your trunk, he would pay, you made your way onto the train.
you were looking for an empty carriage, or with a carriage with people you could easily kick out.
you glance into a carriage, seeing a young blac-haired girl probably the same age as you looking out the window.
you open the door carelessly and stare right into her soul as she shudders, avoiding your gaze.
"um-"
"get out. i'm sitting in here" you hiss.
the girl sticks up her chin, "no way! i got here first! you go!"
kaburamaru shoots forward slightly, though still around your neck, hissing loudly and baring his fangs.
the girl screams in fear, rushing out of the room in a hurry.
you smirk slightly, closing the blinds and quickly changing into your hogwarts robes before taking a seat on the chair and kicking your feet up onto the other one, kaburamaru slithering from your neck and going up and down your legs as if they were a bridge.
a smile ghosted on your face for a moment before a bushy brown-headed girl barged in, looking cross.
she puts her hands on her hips in a bossy kind of way, "hey! what'd you do to that girl?"
it didn't take long for you to come to the conclusion she was talking about the girl who had just ran off. she obviously went off and cried to this one.
you roll your eyes, "none of your business"
she crosses her arms, stepping into your cart rudely and closing the door.
"you have no right to be mean to her! she did nothing"
you snarl slightly, though mostly hidden by your mask.
"i can do whatever the fuck i want. and she was in my way"
the girl rolls her eyes.
"well, i'm hermione granger, and i want you to apologise to her"
your face looked as if she had just asked you to get on your knees and beg for her forgiveness.
"no?"
she huffs, "you will"
"will not"
"will"
"not"
"will"
"not"
"will"
"not" you mutter under your breath, the girl looks done.
"well, aren't you going to tell me your name?"
you eye her, "and why would i do that?"
"because"
you pull a face, "whatever. it's [name] iguro, stupid"
the girl smirks in achievement, "well, nice to meet you, [name]!"
"who said you could call me by my first name?"
she pretends as if she didn't hear you.
for some reason, you felt slightly warm inside.
someone was happy to meet you? no way. she must be lying.
both your eyes turn to the door as a boy comes in, he looked disheveled and had a panicked look on his slightly chubby face.
you roll your eyes at this.
his dark brown hair was messy and he looked hopefully at the both of you, "have you seen trevor?!"
you snarl at him, "how the fuck are we supposed to know who trevor is?"
hermione rolls her eyes, hushing you.
"who is trevor?" she asks calmly.
"my toad! i've lost him!"
you grimace, frowning, "and in what world is that our problem?"
hermione steps in front of you, "don't worry. we'll help you find him!"
the boy beams, shouting a thank you and running off.
you look at her as if she was crazy.
"we? no, that's all you. i'm not helping this daft kid"
she rolls her eyes, "yes, you are"
you stand firm as she goes to walk away.
she rolls her eyes again, grabbing your wrist and pulling you slightly.
you snatch your wrist back in an instant, feeling shivers from her touching you.
"don't touch me" you hiss furiously and she jumps slightly in shock, "i can walk myself" you grumble angrily, rubbing your wrist.
YOU BARGE INTO ANOTHER ROOM, UNINVITED, GLARING AT ALL THE CHILDREN INSIDE.
"is there a toad in here?"
"what? n-"
before the boy could finish his sentence you had slammed the door shut, walking away.
you sigh and close the door before moving on to the next cart, you slam door open, this time, a boy with slicked back platinum blond hair was in the cart along with two other boys.
he glares at you, you glare right back, making him shudder.
"is there a toad in here?"
"no, you stupid wom-"
the boy with platinum hair goes to slam the door shut on you but you grab his wrist in an instant, narrowing your heterochromia eyes at him and making him freeze in his place.
you smack his wrist away harshly, kaburamaru hissing at the group, making them all yelp in fear.
you slam the door shut, leaving the scared group.
you see hermione just up ahead, she also seemed to still be searching.
you roll your eyes,
of course that daft kid puts us on a useless fucking mission. why am i here again?
you step up to her, "anything?"
she shakes her head, "no. you?"
"nothing but a bunch of dickheads"
hermione huffs at your language, but shakes her head.
"let's go check in there" she points to an open door ahead.
you both walk up to the door, standing side by side and peering in.
sitting inside is two boys, one with ginger hair, and another with black hair and glasses. the two were the same children from just earlier this morning at the train station. in between the both of them was an unhealthy amount of sweets and chocolates, most eaten. you grimace judgmentally.
the ginger one had his wand out, seemingly about to do a spell.
"has anyone seen a toad?" hermione looks around a little bit, looking pretty fed up.
"a boy named neville's lost one"
the ginger one shakes his head, "no"
hermione's gaze turns to the wand in his hand, "oh, are you doing magic? let's see, then"
you look over her shoulder as the boy starts to speak, he clears his throat.
"sunshine, daisies, butter mellow" he waves his wand a little.
"turn this stupid, fat rat yellow!" you deadpan at that stupid. nothing happens, the box of the rats head does come off, though.
both the boys shrug.
"are you sure that's a real spell? well, it's not very good, is it?" she says accusingly, with a grin.
the ginger one looks at the other boy.
"pretty fucking stupid spell if you ask me. or maybe it's a real spell and you're just shit at magic" you shrug, the boy looked offended, but eyed your mask curiously.
"i've only tried a few simple ones myself.. but they all worked for me" she brags slightly.
she takes her wand out and takes a seat in front of the brown-haired boy, you choose not to sit, deciding against sitting on the probably filthy from chocolate seats, deciding on standing with crossed arms instead.
"for example" she points the wand right in the boys face who looks at it in fear and shock, "oculus reparo"
a tiny sheet of paper snaps in front of his eyes, you remember that spell to fix eyesight. the ginger one, who had occupied himself with a chocolate, turns to the black-haired one in shock.
the boy takes off his glasses, seemingly able to see perfectly fine without them.
both boys turn to each other in shock and slight awe.
"holy cricket" you turn to hermione.
"you're harry potter!" she points out.
you blink slightly, turning the boy.
you had read about him before, apparently he survived the killing curse.
you weren't sure why that made him oh so special though. i mean, he was one. it's not like he did some kind of super magic to stop this all scary voldemort guy.
"i'm hermione granger" she introduces.
your arms cross further and both boys turn to you, expecting you to introduce yourself.
hermione shakes her head, "that's [name] iguro. don't bother with her. she's mean"
you shake your head.
hermione turns to the other boy with a displeased look on her face, "and, you are?"
"i'm.. ron weasley" he says through a mouth full of chocolate, you grimace slightly, eyeing him judgmentally.
hermione looks at him as if he was a bug, "pleasure."
she turns back to harry, "you two better change into robes. i expect we'll be arriving soon."
you get up, standing by the door, hermione following after,
"you've got dirt on your nose by the way. did you know?" she says to the ginger.
"just there" she points to a spot on her nose as the trains horn goes off.
you walk away without another glance at the boys.
