The girl only appeared to be a year older than herself, so there was no way she was using magic-- you weren't allowed to use magic outside of Hogwarts. Still, Keira was impressed. She smiled at Ophelia, nodded her head soflty."Wow! I'm really impressed! How did you know all that? I'm Keira by the way. It's a pleasure to meet you!" Keira was absolutely fascinated by the girl now. Maybe it was just a trick of some kind, but even so, she was still impressed that she knew so much about her! Now she wanted to know more about the girl. So many questions were buzzing around in her head. "Are you a second year?" was the question she picked to ask first. Keira didn't want to turn the girl off by asking too many questions. Besides, if the two became friends, there would be pleanty of time to ask more questions.

Ophelia beamed at Keira's response. She smiled and coughed again. Goodness, her cold was really getting the better of her! "The initials on the corner of your shirt are labeled K. Eve. I chose the most common female name starting with a K, but obviously I was wrong." She looked over Keira again. "Your shoes. They're lightly coated with a light red dust that I've only seen once before, at the Weasleys'. Since you are obviously not related to them, you must live somewhere in the close area. I can tell by your height and size that you're roughly eleven years old, making you a first year. And... Hogwarts is the only magical school I know of that allows pets." She nodded to her friend's cat. Orph looked down, blushing. "Sorry for being a show-off. Intelligence is pretty much the only thing going for me."
"Are you a second year?", Keira asked. Ophelia lifted her head again, a smile replacing her blush. "Yes, I am! I'm in Ravenclaw! What house do you hope to be in?"

'...What house do you hope to be in?"
"Origionally i wanted to be in either Hufflepuff or Gryphandor because my parents were in Hufflepuff and my friends are in Gryphandor. However, now i kind of want to be sorted into Ravenclaw! "Keira replied, beaming at her new friend. Chloe mewed, pulling Keira's hair with her teeth as if to tell her, 'we have to go'. Keira pouted, torn between staying with her new friend and spending time with her family before her departure the next day.
"...i have to go Ophelia. I promised my mum and dad i'd be home soon. Will i see you tomorrow on the platform?"Keira asked, hoping the answer would be yes. She liked Ophelia, and hoped that the two would be friends. Being her first year at Hogwarts, Keira was a bit nervous (like most first years). She felt that if she had a friend like Ophelia, it would help calm her nerves and make the experience all the more better.

Ophelia smiled as Keira told her that she now wanted to be in Ravenclaw, too. It would be good to have a friend like her, especially if they were in the same house! Someone who could (sort of) help her deal with bullies. And, of course, someone that she appreciated the company of, like Keira.
"Sure! See you then!", Orph said, waving. She turned back to the broom store and stepped inside it, buying that special broom that had, in fact, been made for her. Thank you so much, Professor!, she thought as she watched the storekeeper wrap her purchase in brown paper.

Stepping through the platform, green eyes surveyed the area, looking from one face to another before landing upon the crimson train that would take her to Hogwarts. Taking a deep breath, Keira made her way through the crowd to the train, pausing to drag her trunk (in which Chloe sat upon so she wouldn't get trampled) with her on to the train. She made her way through the crowded train, looking into each compartment as she went until she found an empty one. Quickly moving inside, she stowed her trunk away, before sitting down. Chloe lept down from the compartment, gracefully landing on her master's lap, staring up at her smiling master. The cat purred, happy to be out of the mob scene.
Her parents had said good-bye to her at their home, allowing the Weasleys to carpool Keira to the train station. She had seen her parents no more that an hour ago, and she was already home-sick. A soft groan escaped the girl's throat. If she was home sick already, how was she supposed to get through her first year of Hogwarts? Titling her head back, she sighed to herself, then turned her head to look out the window.

Ophelia slammed the car door, watching as her father waved to her and drove off. She sighed as she looked up at the familiar logo of the London Train Station. Quill, out of his cage and sitting on her shoulder, hooted happily. She stepped inside with her silver suitcase and immediately started walking towards Platform 9 and 10. Once there, Orph spotted a group of young witches and wizards vanishing into the brick. She smiled.
Several minutes later, Ophelia carried her suitcase and Quill through the corridor of the Hogwarts train. Finally, she spotted her friend Keira sitting in an empty compartment. Grinning from ear to ear, the light blonde girl gently knocked on the door.

 ► D r a c o Malfoy◄ "You'll soon find out some wizarding families are much better than others, Potter." ▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮ Draco had been sitting on the slytherin part of the train, talking to another first-year when he caught a glimpse of Keira in the corner of his eye. The Malfoy grinned, rising from his seat to follow after the girl he had liked for some time now. The Eve's, or one of them at least, worked at the Ministry of Magic, a place where Draco's Father Lucius Malfoy constantly donated money to. It was at the very place that Draco's father had introduced him to the Eve's daughter, Keira. His father had always urged him to become friends with the girl, saying that it would be a great benefit. Regardless is Keira was a benefit or not, Draco liked her, and he promised himself that he would dedicate the first year of Hogwartz in trying to get Keira to return the affection. Of course, there was that matter of the weasley that she followed after, but, no matter. No one would fall in love with a Weasley over a Malfoy.
The Slytherin-to-be followed the girl to her compartment, knocking on the door shortly after she settled in.
"Come in."
Draco slid the door open, putting the most charming smile he had on his face.
"Good Morning, Keira."
"Oh, Draco. Good Morning. How are you doing?" Damn. she didn't sound too excited.
"Fine, and you? Well, you look great like always, so that speaks for itself i guess. Anyway. I was wondering if you wanted to sit next to me on the train. "
Draco swallowed the lump in his throat. Keira's response wasn't as prompt as he would have liked it to be.
"No thank you Draco. Perhaps another time?"
Draco tried hard to not let the smile on his face fade away or look fake. "Sure." He replied softly before backing out of the compartment. Bollocks. that didn't go as planned. "Move it." Draco snarled at the blonde-hair raven claw that had walked over to keira's door, shoving his way past her. "Come in" He heard Keira call out.
Dammit. Why didn't she want to sit with him? He was a malfoy--rich and goodlooking. He had been as charming as any prince-charming. Malfoy mumbled angrily under his breath as he stormed off to his seat.
▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮ "You don't want to go making friends with the wrong sort. I can help you there."

Ophelia paused. She could hear someone else in there. A male voice, but one that hadn't matured yet, so he could only be in first, second or third year. But based on his outline, she could see he had to be in first, because he definently belonged in Slytherin, and if he had been there when Ophelia was in second year, he would have been one of the bullies that ruined her life.
Something Keira said seemed to greatly disappoint him, and the boy left with only a brief, 'Sure'. He snarled something at her then shoved her over, walking in the opposite direction. Orph winced, falling over onto her suitcase, Quill's cage on top of her hand. She stood up, holding her hand. It might be twisted, it hurt very, very badly but she didn't want to start crying at the moment. It would just make matters worse. Staring into Keira's compartment, she wondered if being friends with her would provoke more serious injuries if her friend apparently decided to associate herself with the Malfoys. Perhaps Keira didn't belong in Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, or Ravenclaw: but Slytherin.
Ophelia picked up her bag and Quill's cage and resolved to sit in the empty compartment next to Keira's. She sighed, letting her owl fly around for a little bit while examining her hand.

Keira had heard something fall outside of the compartment when Draco had left, but had no idea that it had been Ophelia until she peaked out and saw he Ravenclaw friend struggling to her feet. Could Draco have pushed Ophelia down? "Blimey, are you okay Ophelia?"Keira asked the girl, helping her into her seat. Her eyes were immediately drawn to the hand that Ophelia was holding,"Your hurt...did Draco do that?"She asked in a hushed voice, switching her seat to directly next to Ophelia to closely examine her hand. It only looked bruised... which was a good thing because Keira didn't want to have to visit her newly made friend in the infirmary. The girl breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that the damage hadn't been worse. However, Keira made a mental note to speak with Draco about his ill behavior--pushing someone wasn't right.
"I'm sorry about that. Is there anything i can do?" Keira asked Ophelia, giving her a soft comforting smile.

Ophelia looked around. Suddenly Keira was at her side, fussing over her hand. "Did Draco do that?" She shrugged. "If Draco was that stupid Malfoy that just walked out of your compartment, then yes", she replied, taking her hand back. She stared at Quill who had gotten back in his cage. "The Malfoys are always like that, they think they can boss everyone around just 'cause they're high in the Ministry." Orph turned her head back to Keira. "Want me to come in your compartment?" She found it a bit odd that Keira's stuff was in her own room while Ophelia's was in another.

Kera let out a soft sigh. "It won't happen again. I'll tell him not to bother you ever again. okay? I promise. What Draco did wasn't nice at all."
Want me to come in your compartment?"
Keira shook her head, "It's okay. I'll bring my stuff over here."She replied before making a quick trip into her compartment, returning with Chloe and her other belongings. The girl placed them on the bench across from Ophelia, sitting besides them. Chloe, currently a black cat, lept gracefully onto her master's lap. The small creature purred softly before watching the owl flutter about in the compartment. Keira smiled down at her compagnion, stroking it behind its perky ears before shifting her attention to Ophelia. "She won't hurt your owl. So is it okay if she stays out?"Keira asked. She wanted to tell her new friend about how Chloe wasn't really a black cat, but, she didn't know how the girl would react. How was she supposed to explain that the small creature in her lap had the ability to morph into other creatures? Nothing extreme like a unicorn or dragon of course, but still. Normal Hogwarts students didn't have pets like Chloe, nor were they generally allowed to. The Headmaster Dumbledore, someone who Keira was very excited to meet, had made a special request that the first year bring her pet. Keira didn't know how the Headmaster had known about Chloe, but didn't question it. She was just happy that she could bring her bestfriend along to school.

Ophelia smiled, watching as Keira came back minutes later with her suitcase and a small black cat. She blinked, springing up and raising her hand protectively towards Quill. "She won't hurt your owl. So is it okay if she stays out?" Orph glanced back at her pet, who was flying down to greet Chloe, finding no fear in meeting the creature. "I-I guess", Ophelia replied, her nerves easing up. She sat back down with a small plop and stared at Keira with a smile on her face.
"What's your cat's name?", she asked, completely unaware of the fact that Chloe wasn't at all a cat, but rather her friend's guardian in cat form. She had no clue of the exception the headmaster had made for Tom Riddle's daughter. She didn't have the least idea that Keira was in fact Riddle's daughter. It said Eve on her clothes. It said Eve on her books. Ophelia had seen a picture of the Eves once, they had black hair like her friend's, she had no reason to suspect that Keira was adopted! Besides, she seemed to know the Weasleys pretty well. They wouldn't associate with Voldemort's daughter, would they?
Orph looked out the window, pointing out a big black stick in the middle of the countryside. "That's the quarter marker!", she exclaimed, continuing to explain that a few years ago the Ravenclaws had calculated the distance that the train took, and put big markers such as the one she had just pointed out, markers placed every 1/4 of the trip. "Only one and a half hours left to go now!" The blonde girl squealed, excited for the beginning of the second year at Hogwarts and anxious to find out in which house Keira would be sorted into. Who knows, maybe even Ravenclaw!

Keira pressed her face against the window glass, staring outside in wonder as the train passed the marker. After several moments Keira took her face away from the glass, turning her attention to Ophelia. She was so excited and couldn't help but smile.

Quill jumped back and hooted, surprised by Chloe's reaction. He turned his head, puzzled, before stepping a bit closer and starting to chew on the feline's ear. Ophelia giggled. "He does that to me, sometimes. Don't worry, doesn't hurt, he's only an owlet, his beak isn't fully formed yet!", she reassured Keira, knowing all-too-well that her friend was concerned with her pet's safety just as much as Orph was.
"Where do you think I'll end up? Hufflepuff? Ravenclaw?", she heard her friend ask. Ophelia shrugged, but the expression on her face could tell that she knew which house Keira was going to be put in. "Nope!", she exclaimed happily, leaning a bit forwards towards her friend. "Guess again!"
