~regrets~

*Maria*

I hadn't even noticed we were there until I saw Alice's jaw drop when she looked outside the window. I had no words to describe how beautiful the castle was, it's the kind of castle I dream about whenever reading fairytale books.

Right as me and Alice got our bags I bumped into him. There he was again, the beautiful boy I met eyes with eariler, I could smell the rich cologne however not to overpowering along with the sweet cinnamon smell.

"I'm so sorry." his deep voice spoke, he helps me pick up my book. He glanced at the cover and smiled.

"This is a really good book, how far are you" he questions, I feel my stomach turn.

"Um- I just started it actually but it's really good so far." I say in hopes I'm not already as red as a bloody tomato.

"Well here you go darling and I'm sorry I should have paid more attention." he apologizes handing me the book.

"No don't worry about it, I should've paid more attention too." The way he called me darling made my stomach feel as if it was dancing around.

"Well maybe I'll see you around?" He raises an eyebrow trying to hint and catch my name I believe.

I wasn't ready for that yet, I don't want him to be scared off when I tell him Maria Mikaleson. A daughter of the original vampires.

instead I nodded and walked off. Besides he's gonna find out regardless I just don't want him to base his opinion on me quickly when he hears my last name

I noticed Alice was already talking to some girl with blond hair. "finally Maria what were you doing" I didn't feel like going into too much detail.

"I dropped all my stuff on the train I was just getting it together" I respond looking down to my feet avoiding eye contact.

"Oh well this is Luna" she says turning to the girl with flowers in her hands.

"Here! These flowers bring good luck" her sweet kind hearted voice took me back. It was so angelic, smooth, just beautiful.  she hands me a very beautiful yellow flower.

"Thank you! Its beautiful" I reply touched at her kindness. I've never met someone so pure and sweet, I didn't know much about Luna but she had a presence that made me feel welcome and safe.

We all got inside the castle and their that feeling was again that nervous yet anxious feeling. My aunt freya told me when we first arrive we need to go to find Dumbledore which all I knew was he was a old wizard with a long white beard and glasses.

Me and Alice started walking around with no idea where to even go overwhelmed at the huge place.

"Ah, Ms Parker and Ms Mikaleson" we turn around and there he was, the long bearded old man. "Follow me if you will."

As we were walking I observed the castle the walls the floor everything. "Hello there" a painting waves causing my heart to stop. As I flinched startled, Merlin freya could've gave me a heads up.

Alice started giggling when she noticed my expression as I began to breath heavily.

bloody paintings.

Dumbledore starts talking to us about getting sorted, he told us after all the first years are done me and Alice will be next.
I couldn't be more scared of the fact  potentially being separated from my bestfriend, it worries me.

What if she moves on? What if she finds a new person she adores. I'm being ridiculous me and Alice have been bestfriends since birth nothing can change that. We have a bond that's way to strong for that, or at least I hope.

I couldn't stop thinking about the boy I met eariler, I still felt warmess all around just from thinking about our encounter. I hadn't felt that nervous around a boy since Stiles.
