Y/N POV
"Right trunk check, suitcase check, train ticket check, Timothy" The white barn owl hoots to his name indicating his presents "check, wand where my wand" I check my pocket feeling around, I check the pockets of my waste coat and my hands found nothing by a pouch of gold coins, a pocket watch and "ah ha yes wand check" after having this weird and private conversation with myself I plugged my head back into pockets for my watch and looked at the time "nearly 10 should probably start looking for the station" it was lucky I had gotten to kings cross when I did the madness of getting to London itself on the knight bus had been a shit show despite my experience riding carriages pulled along by thestrals it was interesting to see the violently, purple double Deka bus which had been magically transformed to look like any ordinary means of transportation without the means of using an animal of beast to pull it alone, it was also quite unusual to find that the bus would admit a very loud bang in which it would transport passengers to different locations in an instant without alerting any surrounding muggles, as I start pushing my trolly along the platforms I hear voices and owls screeching and was that a ferret?, sure enough the voices were getting louder the closer I got to platforms nine and ten a group of girls and two boys at the very back were hanging around the walls between the platforms, the girls didn't seem to notice the two tall boys lurking behind them for they were too busy chatting and giggling, walking closer blinking in the bright sunlight I see,
"Sebastian! Ominis!" I rushed over Timothy's cage rattling as I ran towards my two favourite people "Is that N/Y I hear or have I gone senile now" said Ominis putting his finger into his ear and Rotating clock wise, I punched his arm "yeah that's you all right how was your summer ? I didn't hear from you much" " Traveling sorry dad has been busy with the Ministry and I had to travel with him" I answered " exciting" replied Ominis "speaking of excitement I can't wait to get back to Hogwarts" I looked at Sebastian who was eyeing the girls who were still giggling "you right seb?" I asked he ignored this question and continued to stare as I open my mouth to get his attention, one of the girls had looked at her pocket watch and had beckoned her friends to follow, one by one they started rushing forward in front of the wall between platforms nine and ten and then they were gone, "eh what just happened?" I asked staring at the wall with amazement"magical gate way to the train come on before everyone else and their overly excited grandmother starts heading this way" said Ominis sticking one hand in his front pocket of his coast and the other hand on his trolley "Oi muggles are around you git just let me help" Sebastian had pulled Ominis hand out of his front pocket nearing revealing the wand and the red light in which to guide its owner "if you must Sebastian" Sebastian held onto Ominis's trolley and pushed him and Ominis through the barrier, perplexed I waited for Sebastian to return for his own trolley.
After a minute or two Sebastian was back jogging towards me and moving his trolley around to face the gate way" lady's first" he said his arm outstretched indicating the wall "such a gentleman" i wheels my own trolley around to face the tall very solid wall, gritting my teeth I started walking then running soon it was to late to stop I was going to crash I just knew it... I stopped I opened my eyes there in front of me was the scarlet steam engine of the Hogwarts express and the sign above reading platform 9 3/4 I took a deep breath as the run had made me quite anxious but before I could take a step forward Sebastian's trolley had made full collision with mine and both trucks and Timothy had topped over "OH NO" I quickly rushed to retrieve the screaming owl who's cage was rolling away on the platform many people were staring a few laughing as they walked pasts, clutching the cage in my arms I hurried over to the two trolleys in which Sebastian had magically recovered and both trucks were safely back on " Sorry thought you'd.. are you alright?" Sebastian looked deep into my face worry and concern written on his, it only took a few seconds to release that I had to look up at him, and that he his hair had grown over the summer and that he took had gotten taller not that he was short in the past his voice was much deeper more mature, I recovered quickly "yeah sorry I didn't release that would happen, I panicked" I stopped speaking looking at my black laced up boot "come on then let's get on before the good carriages get taken" Sebastian patted me on the back and started pushing his trolley towards the train I follow suit.
"Don't you want to wait for Ominis?" I asked speaking to the back of Sebastian's head, once again he did not answer instead he stopped near half way at the end of the train he picked up his trunk and disappeared onto the train, rolling my eyes at this moment I strapped my suitcase more tightly onto my trunk lifted it up but before I could lift it off the trolley a hand had brushed mine, warmth flooding through my ears and cheeks as the hand, the hand that had touched mine was Sebastian's, with out a word of what he was doing he lift my truck out of my hands and into the train disappeared once more, perplexed I picked up timothy's cage and climbed aboard.
It was noisy inside with students seconds years mostly running up and down the hallway of the carriages yelling out to friends, cursing at other students and saying good byes to their families, while other students fifth and sixth year students pushed their way through the crowd to get into their seats hoping to get privacy. I jumped as a small tap on the shoulder indicated someone was behind me "POPPY" the small girl from Hufflepuff smiled as I hugged her "look at you you've grown Y/N and your hair looks great" I touched it the long waves of brown hair tangled through my fingers tips "thanks kinda had to grow it out this year to hide-... anyway how was your summer?" " Great highwing and I had a lovely few weeks on the beach while Gran did some research on the water caps anyway" she lowered her voice "Guess who's been sending me owls all summer?" "Who?" But before Poppy could answer a voice call from behind me "Oi Y/L/N" a tall red haired boy came up behind me wrapped his arm around my shoulder and ruffled my hair annoyed I look up and pinched the nose of Garreth Weasley, " Do that again and I'll start pinching other places" he let go smiling, rubbing his nose "Easy girl you know sometime it still baffles me to this day that you weren't sorted into Slytherin" rolling my eyes I looked back at Poppy who had vanished to be replaced with Sebastian "I found us a compartment" Sebastian smiled though his eyes look dead at Garreth who was now in deep conversation with a Hufflepuff boy I followed Sebastian into the very last compartment at the end of the train it was quite back here "eh where's Ominis?" I asked before entering but he didn't me instead he asked "What did Garreth want?" He pretended not to care but it didn't look totally convincing "just roughing me up so I pulled his nose hair" I laughed but then stopped quickly Sebastian wasn't laughing he looked slightly annoyed and folded his arms "Seb are you alright have you and Ominis been fighting?"
Sebastian didn't answer straight away he was looking deep into my eyes and again I felt myself go red "Omini won't be joining us on this trip" was it my imagination or was Sebastian moving closer before I could ask why? His face was very close to mine however in Order to keep my eyes on him I had to strained my neck slightly so insist I lowed my head in hopes he wouldn't notice that my face had gone completely Scarlet "Why?" Sebastian lowered his voice speaking just above my right ear, my head seemed to be on fire for the deep breath and voice of his next words "He's gone off with his little girlfriend" at this I couldn't resist snapping my head up to look at Sebastian I stammered "W-what girlfriend I beg your pardon?" At this Sebastian had looked abashed "he, he hasn't told you bloody hell he told me the first week of Summer Y/N Ominis and Imelda are dating well I think anyway he seemed to write mostly about her and you I think he was worried about you over the summer mind you so was I after well you know" Sebastian rubbed the back of his neck now looking at the heavens "So so Imelda and Ominis are?" " I suspect in their own little compartment snogging I presume" at this a loud whistle blow outside the train and the train itself leached and began to move, forgetting to brace myself I lost balance and fall into Sebastian's arms who seemed to have be ready for this very unexpected embrace for a split second I my heart felt like it was about to explode and my face was all ready burning with embarrassment, I straightened up "eh that was certainly a unexpected *cough* I'm gonna go and eh yeah" I entered the compartment taking a seat closest to the window and watched as the train started moving faster leaving the hustle and bustle of London and into small villages.
I looked out into the sea of trees outside not listening to the compartment door close or acknowledging Sebastian putting Timothy onto the seat opposite me, what is wrong with me have I gone completely mad you can't go head over for this guy he's a Slytherin forget that remember what he did last year reading and looking into the dark arts endangering not only himself but his family, his uncle... his uncle who he-... no no you forgave him remember you swore never to tell anyone.. and what about Anne she wanted nothing to do with Sebastian after that and yet here I am sitting side by side with a- "Hungry?" I blinked and looked out the window I had been so deep in thought that I didn't notice how late it was the view outside had changed to the wild Countryside's, Sebastian was stand in front of the food trolley which was pulled by a bearded man with a white comb over, I reached into my pocket for my pouch when "my shout whatcha what then?" Surprised I stood up examining the trolley and it's contents of sweets "eh I'm not" "two chocolate frogs thanks" Sebastian gave the man some silver sand was hand two paper bags, he handed one over to me and sat down opening his chocolate frog in silence, if I was going to be honest I wasn't very hungry instead I put the paper bag down next to Timothy who was asleep his head under his wing, I felt drowsy and slowly drifting away to sleep.
