"Maeve?." I heard from beside me. "U-um what did you say?" I asked confused. My bestfriend Rosalie sighed dramatically. " Your zoning out again." She said looking at the cat resting on her lap. "Sorry." I said with a small half smile turning my attention back to the window as Rosalie started rambling about her summer again.
I've always loved the train ride to Hogwarts. All of the trees and hills calmed me. If I listened close enough I could here birds singing. Lovely. The body's of water outside of the window glimmered from the reflection of the sun. In the backround of this beauty I can hear the train loudly whistling and the people chattering loudly. On the way to Hogwarts everyone always seem so happy. There happiness can sometimes rub off on me, but that's rare. It's not as though I feel sad, but it's not necessarily happiness. It's this calm feeling effects my whole body making it warm and tired, but I love it.
"Right Maeve?" I heard the same excited voice as before from beside me. Shit I zoned out again. I decided to choose the easy way and just nod and flash a short smile.
I soon felt eyes on me. My other best friend Elliot was giving me an odd look. I pretended not to see him but he obviously noticed. He leaned closer to me. "Are you okay." He asked sounding like a statement more than a question. "Yeah of coarse." I said with a sweet smile. He just gave off more of a suspicious look. "What?" I asked turning my head slightly. "You just seem different." He sounded genually concerned this time.
He wasn't exactly wrong. I have changed a bit since he last saw me. Some would say I matured, my parents would say I'm just moody, but I would say I'm just stressed.
My parents have been being alot more harsh lately because I'm getting older and I'm the only Slytherin in a Hufflepuff family so that automatically means that im secretly plotting against them or something. I mean I cant really blame them for thinking that. I am a Slytherin, quiet, moody, and probably every other horrible things they have said against me.
Hogwarts has always been like a home to me since my real one wasn't. My brother Cedric has always been perfect. He's a Hufflepuff, kind, popular and excellent in school. I guess I do feel bad for him sometimes because my parents rely on him to be everything that I'm not.
The train stopped. Elliot tapped me on the shoulder on the way out to let me know it's our turn to go. I sat there for a little longer preparing myself for the new year. I stood up grabbing my owl Daveto and opening the compartment door. I sighed. Time for another year of getting antagonized by other students. But who knows, this year could be the best year of my life! I took a deep breath in and smiled. I walked down the aisle of the train to the door.
