Miu was early. She hadn't gotten used to this, but she knew she would have to sooner or later. Her eyes were sticking to a blue, almost green color, but they were not flipping between the two. This was what she wanted. As she sat down in the very first compartment, blood rushed through her veins and into her head, making it seem as though she was blushing, when it was merely giving her a profound headache. Miu lay back on the seat and put her head against the wall. Her orange red hair had it's tips moving out the open window and the breeze was cooling the compartment to almost freezing temperatures. Miu wasn't sure if she was welcome back. Of coarse, she was welcome back to the school, but into the friendships she had never had, that was much different. She had never really had them, she wasn't even sure if she had wanted them, but now... Now she yearned for them.

Miu snapped her blue-green eyes closed and listened as the tracks started to rattle and the door to the compartment crashed open and closed the centimeter that it was open, eventually latching itself closed. Latched, but not locked. Her ears picked up a familiar voice. A sound coming from the so distant halls, but who was it? Who was she pulling close to her? Miu hid herself within her robes so that nobody would know who she was. She wrapped it so tightly around herself that she felt like she was en-caged again. Miu wanted to tell the world her story. She wanted to brag, to boast! She wondered if this was how everyone else felt all the time. She didn't like the feeling. Yet, she loved the sound of the familiar voice.

"Come on Bella. If you want to find a seat where no one will step on your tail we have to hurry." Scarlett was hurrying down the corridor of the Hogwarts express cat in tow looking in compartpents for a minimally occupied one and having no luck. Finally she found one that only had one cloaked hunched figure. Scarlett thought i was kind of creepy, but she figured the creep factor would keep the number of other folks wanting to sit there down. "Ok Bella I found one," Scarlett said as she swept into the compartment with out asking. She took a window seat and dug in her bag for a fashion magazine. She didn't want to disturb the apparent stranger.
