The people part, fluidly and without thought for the small family that seems to exude a sort of power. Where there was once five, only four now stand together. The term is used loosely, as they couldn't be less attached to each other. There are no hugs exchanged, only curt words, and the children leave in two different directions without a goodbye.
While the boy walks with purpose, the girl is almost listless. The crowds don't part for her as they do for the rest of her relatives. People bump into her without thought or notice. Almost like she isn't there. It's fine though. Being invisible is preferred.
Once she had dreamed of being adventurous, brave, and adored. And somewhere deep inside, maybe she dreamed of it still. But dreams are dreams. Meant for sleeping, not harsh reality. She'd learned that long ago.
Pausing outside a full compartment, she couldn't help but feel as though her heart had been squeezed. He was there, laughing, happy, better than she'd ever seen him. Her knight in shining armor to all her childhood fantasies.
Her big brother. The one and only, Sirius Black.
