Train to Hogwarts

"Hurry up, Ella!" Tonks called her, running in front of her and stopped in front of the barrier, being clumsy she is, she nearly slipped from her trolley while she waits. At last, Ella caught up to her as they wait for Andromeda and Teddy, "You could have injured yourself, Dora."

Andromeda and Teddy finally stopped next to them, "Dora goes first, then you Ella." Said Teddy.

Tonks looked side to side before running into the barrier. She walk through the barrier and she was gone, like the day when she usually does. It was her turn now since it was her first time doing it as a Hogwarts student. She held the handle of the trolley tightly and took a deep breath before she ran through the barrier. Her feet began to move as she ran through the barrier with her eyes shut. She stopped when she was on the other side and found Tonks who was waiting for her, "Let's go." said Tonks, pushing her trolley.

After a few walking, they finally stopped, waiting for Andromeda and Teddy. "Ellie's finally going to Hogwarts." Said Teddy, lowering himself as her height to hug her. "Make sure to be in Hufflepuff." He whispered but Andromeda could hear. Andromeda rolled her eyes, "It's fine if she's in Slytherin." she mumbled.

"I'll miss you too, uncle Ted." she broke the hug and went to Andromeda next while it was Tonks's turn to hug her father. "Stay away from trouble, Ella. And Dora, don't teach her such thing."

Tonks placed a hand on her chest, "Why would I do that?"

Andromeda shakes her head, "Go on you two, don't forget to owl us!" she shouted at them. Tonks waved before going inside the train, "Please send my regards to uncle Remus! Bye!" Ella waved before climbing abroad the train.

She walks next to Tonks, dragging her trunks with her. "You wouldn't mind finding a compartment on your own, would you? I need to find someone." Said Tonks, checking every compartment which was empty.

Ella had her head shaking, not minding at all even though she doesn't like the idea of separating from her cousin.

Finally, there was a compartment that was only two girls in it. One of them with black, wavy hair that was the middle length and pale face was sitting next to the window, sleeping. And the other girl was reading a book while patting her cat, she had a medium blond hair color with blue eyes, taking off her books and to Tonks who opened the compartment door.

"Could you.." Ella pointed at her trunk, "It's heavy."

Tonks didn't hesitate and took her trunk away, but of course, it was heavy that she had to call out a guy who was walking past by the compartment to help.

The boy had ginger hair and greeted Tonks before helping her lift the trunk. The boy happens to be Charlie Weasley, "Who's this, Tonks?"

"My cousin. First-year. Now, Ellie, I have to go and meet someone alright? Bye." Tonks closed the compartment door and left with Charlie Weasley behind her.

The blond hair girl dropped her book and take a quick glance at Ella. "You're a first-year too?" she asked. Her eyes gleamed at her with excitement. "Uh.. yes."

"My name is Seraphina Scamander." she smiled widely.

The black-haired girl woke up and looked at the two girls, "Hello." said the girl sarcastically with no expression, standing up and walking out of the compartment. "Don't worry, she's been cranky ever since she went aboard the train. I reckon she's homesick. Your owl is beautiful." Sera looked at her owl.

"Thanks, her name is Cassiopeia." the owl screech.

The compartment door once again opened, the same black-haired girl sat back on her seat, resting her head on the window. "Um.. hi? I'm Ella." Ella introduce herself to the girl, "Talicia." she replied.

"Ooh! So you're Talicia Daniel!" Sera said in realization. "The one that the Slytherin senior called you. Who are they?"

Talicia gave a cold glare to Sera. "A few people calling me Mudblood." she muttered Sera's smile faded at the word 'Mudblood'. "That's a horrible word to call someone." Ella shriek.

Then an old woman came to pass the compartment with a trolley full of candy. "Anything off the trolley, dear?"

Seraphina dig her hands in her pocket and took out some money. "I would like some Chocolate Frog and Bertie Bott's Every flavour bean, please. Would you like anything, Ella?"

"Hm- Oh! yea, here." Ella gave her 13 sickles.

After she paid for the sweets, Sera handed Ella her chocolate frog. "Thank you."

"Does it really have every flavour?" Talicia asked. "Yea, would you like some?" Seraphina kindly gave her some beans. "I got coconut," said Sera.

"I got, eww...earwax." Ella made a disgusted face, taking out a tissue and spitting it out.

"Funny, muggle's candy only has fruits flavour." Said Talicia as she crossed her arm, leaning on the window. "Really?" Seraphina said with amusement. "Do they have Butterbeer there?"

"No."

Talicia closed her eyes, "If both of don't mind, I'm going to sleep now."

"But didn't you take a nap before?" Seraphina's face grew confused as she looked at Talicia with an expression of disbelief. "I like sleeping and talking to human beings makes me malfunction." Yet again, Talicia closed her eyes.

Ella's eyes widened when she saw the person in her chocolate frog's card, "I got Newt Scamander! Wait, are you related to him?"

"Eh." Seraphina shrugged, "Distant relative."

Ella tried to get his card so many times, Newt Scamander was a famous Magizoolist and inspired her to be one someday. "He's my favorite Hufflepuff," said Ella happily.

"We will be reaching Hogwarts in five minutes; time. Please leave your luggage on the train, it will be taken to school separately." An echoing voice spoke was all over the train.

Talicia groaned, "Ugh why!" She stood up, wearing her school robes, and left the compartment first. With many people passing by, the train became crowded but Tonks made her way to her cousin's compartment. "We'll be arriving at Hogwarts soon, better if you put on your robes now," Tonks said.

"Okey,"

The train stopped and the students quickly walk into the crowd, "It's crowded out there," Ella said to Tonks, "Yeah, see in the castle. I wish you good luck." Tonks gave a warm smile before heading out and joining the crowd.

As they walk down the train, they saw some students walking the opposite way, "Firs' year!" She found the voice of the person, he had big bushy hair. "Firs' year follow me!" said the man as he began to move away, followed by the first-year students.

They walked the way down to the lake, there were many boats found. The giant man told them four-person a boat and the students began to climb on the boat. Sera and Ella climbed on a boat, not long after, two other girls climbed in as well.

Suddenly, the boat moves without anyone controlling it. "I hate what's underwater." A girl shrieks. She had honey-blond hair with brown eyes.

"Head's down!" the man shouted and they immediately lower their head. Soon, Hogwarts castle was seen by the students. They gasp and whispered about how big and beautiful it is. The blonde girl who was shrieking about her fear of the lake was distracted by the sight of Hogwarts.
