Goddess

The Dementor

Persephone frowned as she sat down in her compartment. No one had arrived yet, not even Theo, who was always in the train by ten.

Persephone looked out of compartment to check when suddenly five other voices chorused together.

"Surprise!" Theo, Blaise, Draco, Daphne and Rose burst into snickers as Persephone jumped a bit back and squealed in surprise.

"You complete idiots! Are you bloody crazy! You actually had me worried!" Persephone scowled furiously.

"Aww! Persephone was worried." Theo mocked, ruffling her short hair.

"Her expression was priceless!" Rose laughed, making herself comfortable.

"I hate you." Persephone huffed, crossing her arms.

"You know you love us." Blaise said in a sing-song voice, pinching her cheeks.

Perse swatted his hand away angrily.

"You know, you look much younger with your hair short." Daphne mentioned.

"I do not." Persephone grumbled.

"You are the youngest. Daphne in Feb, Theo in March, me in June, Rose in August, Blaise in September, and you, are in October. So definitely the youngest." Draco smirked.

"Shut up." Persephone said.

"Anyone up for Truth or Dare?" Blaise asked.

"Sure." Rose shrugged.

 "Okay, I'm going first." Blaise grinned widely.

"Of course you are." Daphne sighed.

"Ok, I choose Dare." Blaise said.

"Ok, act like a chicken before the next person's chance until it's yours again." Daphne said.

Blaise narrowed his eyes at Daphne, but did as asked. By the end of it, Theo was leaning against seat shaking with silent laughter. Persephone was clutching Daphne's shoulder, who herself couldn't stop laughing, for support as she cackled at the action. Rose buried her head in Draco's chest to hide her laughter, while Draco snickered with a light pink color dusting his cheeks.

"Alright, alright. That's enough, next person." Blaise said.

"Persephone, kiss the person you find most attractive in this compartment. " Blaise smirked.

 "I'm not kissing anyone, so get that out of your head." Persephone said.

"Fine, on the cheek." Blaise corrected.

Perse rolled her eyes before pecking Theo on his cheek.

"I'm honestly offended, Perse." Draco tilted his head slightly.

"Hmm . . . you aren't that handsome." Persephone smirked.

"Hey!"

The rain thickened as the train sped yet farther north; the windows were now a solid, shimmering gray, which gradually darkened until lanterns flickered into life all along the corridors and over the luggage racks. The train rattled, the rain hammered, the wind roared.

"We must be nearly there," said Daphne, leaning forward to look past Blaise at the now completely black window. The words had hardly left her when the train started to slow down. 

"Great," said Draco, getting up and walking carefully past Theo and Perse to try and see outside.  

"We can't be there yet," said Theo, checking his watch.
