Y/n's POV

I walked up to the Hogwarts express with Tonks. Of course it's easier said than done. It took me 5 minutes of anxiety, 10 minutes of excitement, 1 minute of panic to get through that pillar between platforms 9 and 10 to get here. But that's none of our concern now.

The view was just mesmerising. I saw young witches and wizards boarding the train. I turned to Tonks, as she cupped my face, "good luck, okay? Don't let anyone let you down," she embraced me, giving me a warm hug, before pulling away.

I waved my hands at Tonks and yelled "BYE!!" walking away, Tonks waved her hands too smiling.

I walked on, completely entranced by the view. Of course, a part of me was nervous, my breathing erratic because what if someone came up and asked me who I was, what would I say? What was I going to explain them? Then they'd claim to not have seen me before and... oooof.... the list goes on. On top of that, my social awkwardness. Please don't embarrass yourself, dear.

Just as I was going to hop on the train, I caught the sight of a certain, but quite famous raven-haired boy, from the other compartment, who was, of course, the most famous wizard, Harry Potter. Rumour has it my dad, ahem, Sirius, is after him. But after what Remus had told me, I don't know what to believe. I huffed, shaking off the thoughts.

When I looked again, he and his friends were gone.

Nevermind... I got onto the train. And then there was someone I bumped into. A guy with blonde hair, blue eyes, and his attitude screaming SLYTHERIN.

Before I can even get acquainted with him, and do the formalities and introductions, he started in a rude voice, his face twisting, "How dare..." he halted suddenly, "oh wait, I haven't seen you here before... who are you?"

I thought for a while, as to what to say. Should I introduce myself? Or should I introduce myself with a different name? Oh, how dumb is that, he'd definitely see me again in Hogwarts. I decided for the former, "uh- hello! I am Y/n Black."

"Black? Black as in Sirius Black? The murderer's daughter, are you?"

"Excuse me? How could you speak like that to someone you don't even know?"

He replied abusively, "Don't you dare talk to me you filthy little-"

Before he could continue, I walked past him rolling my eyes.

"HEY! DON'T YOU DARE..." His words faded in the distance to a mere blah blah. I don't have stupid time to waste on his stupid insults. I walked on to find empty compartments in order to get a seat.

Harry's POV

I followed Ron and Hermione, choosing our seats in a compartment we luckily found almost empty, except there was a man wrapped up in blanket. We didn't let that concern is since he almost looked sick and asleep.

We began discussing what we all did in summer. I told them about Sirius Black being after me. Both Hermione and Ron were continuing talking about the matter with each other, when I heard a loud bumping noise outside. We exchanges glances.

"What just happened?" Ron asked.

Hermione shrugged, "I don't know, did someone fall over?"

"Let me check," I stood up, walking out. It was then that I caught a glimpse of a girl, muttering (or rather cursing) something under her breath, rubbing her temples.

I approached her slowly, "Um, are-" I paused, "are you alright?"

She looked up, "oh, yeah, I'm fine. Thanks." She smiled. My eyes lingered on her face longer than it should have.

She cleared her throat, snapping me out of my thoughts. She looked around, "these compartments around are full. I was wondering if you don't mi-"

"Of course, come with me. Join me and my friends," I stated suggestively.

I walked on, looking every then and now over my shoulders to see if she was following me.

"I forgot to ask," I halted a bit, for her to join by my side, "what's your name?"

"Uhm..." She hesitated, and before she could continue, we reached the compartment.

"After you."

She smiled, and walked in. I followed her.

She took a seat, before I sat down as well. I seriously couldn't take my eyes off her, I knew that for sure.

"Who is she, Harry?"

"Yeah, haven't seen you around."

"No idea. You were going to say your name, weren't you?"

"Uh, right. So..."

Y/n's POV

Merlin. Now why did he have to ask my name? Are names that important now? Of course, don't be dumb. How else are they going to recognise you?

Hesitating a bit, I said, "Oh uhm..." deep breath and go! "I am Y/n Black."

Their eyes popped out with surprise, mouths hanging as if they'd drop to the floor.

"Look don't get me wrong. I know what you all must be thinking. I am not like my dad, okay? I don't even know where he is. I haven't even met him yet. I just got across this information today-"

That was when Harry put his hand on my arm, as if an attempt to soothe me.

The three of them smiled, "we don't judge people by their name, Y/n. Don't worry about it."

Harry's POV

I was reminded at the moment the need to introduce myself. I had just started, "Exactly. Anyways so I'm Harry-" when she cut me off with her words, "I know, I know. You are Harry Potter. Who doesn't recognise you? And as far as I get it correct, these are your friends...?" She glanced at Hermy and Ronald. "You are Hermione Granger and you must be Ronald Weasley, am I right?"

"Bloody hell!!! She knows us all?! How do you know us?" Ron asked.

"Yeah?" added Hermione.

"Oh, trust me, you're the talk of the wizarding world for almost the past two years now," she laughed. Her sense of humour was brilliant, I must give her that. I saw Ron beaming happily hearing he's famous while Hermione...? She looked at him madly.

Y/n's POV

"I feel you could be a great friend," said Hermione. Her words gave me a rush of courage.

I smiled, before looking into my bag, picking out a novel.

"Hey," Hermione started, "I've read that too!"

"Really?"

"Oh, here we go again," Ron groaned, "don't tell me you're a bookworm too Y/n."

"What if I am?"

Ron dramatically sighed, leaving us all in laughter.
