Platform 9 ¾ was never like the sight she expected.

Muggle stations are full of ruckus. Dusts everywhere, smoke almost surrounding every inch of the area. A lot of people are packed and soldiers stationed everywhere. Especially with the bombing of Nazi Germany. Overall, King's Cross is not an ideal sight if you stepped into the platform of Hogwarts Express.

Just a few distances away, a magnificent scarlet train stood proudly with students looking out of the window, saying goodbye to their parents. The station was packed but at least, much more safer and not as terrifying as what she encountered on the muggle world.

Five minutes before it entirely leave, Eurus stepped in and exhaled out of the overwhelming sense of excitement. She never experienced riding in a moving vehicle except for bicycles and carts that was pulled by those bullies as she was dumped at a garbage hill. Apart from that, it's her first time riding such a lavish looking train.

Compartment 13 had been occupied by Eurus. Despite the excitement, she knew that the whole train ride would be boring. If her calculations are correct, they would get to Hogwarts at seven in the evening, spending her eight hours alone in the compartment.

Not long after sitting down, a girl came knocking in. she's about her age with brown eyes and dark hair. She's already on her uniform, a Ravenclaw emblem on the right side of her robes and a shining prefect badge on the left. Upon analyzing Eurus' stare, she blushed furiously.

"Right. Professor Dumbledore asked me to look out after you. I have no idea why, you seem to be perfectly settling in." She rambled, blushing again when Eurus gave her a blank look that she could not decipher.

"Anyways, I'm Estella Saunders, I'm the 5th year prefect of Ravenclaw. If you need anything, just ask." Estella pointed at the badge then looked back up at the staring cold minty eyes of the Novak child.

She cleared her throat before speaking again.
"Your cousins are on the end of the train by the way."

Eurus now, looked intrigued but too lazy to stand up and move her butt to the deepest end on the train.

"No, thank you. I'm perfectly fine here." Eurus poke for the first time, surprising Estella. Her voice sounded like a perfectly woven silk, smooth and flowy. Though, a bit low, stern and almost sounds seductive.

With a tight-lipped smile, Estella left, suddenly feeling quite anxious around the girl.

With that, Eurus sighed and pulled out a book that she already read during her remaining days staying at the orphanage.

On the other side of the train, three particular descendants of the Novak's chatted and gossiped with the other pureblood Slytherins. Casually talking dirty about Eurus Novak.

All three of them looks so much identical, save for Alcyone and Aquila, who are in fact, identical twins. But despite this, they differ in personality and attitude.

Alexius Novak is more of a silent type of person. He likes to be alone and loves to just be buried with knowledge from the books that he always carry. He neither agreed nor disagreed on blood purity. He just doesn't care about it.

Alcyone and Aquila Beltrade on the other hand, is more cunning and mischievous. They use their advantage of blood purity to hold everybody down to their feet. Apart from that, both are also very beautiful. That can be a distinct feature of the Novak's. The green eyes. Green eyes are very rare and therefore, considered unique and beautiful. Alexius had the sea green while Eurus had more of the mix of light blue and mint green while the twins both had jade colored eyes. They are different, but still green.
