Indiana's pov:

The agonizing September winds penetrated through my skin. My consequence for wanting to leave my house as soon as possible. Although, after missing last year, I was desperate to arrive early.

I exhale, watching a visible cloud of my breath escape my mouth.

As more students begin to arrive, the noise of eager and excited voices filled the air. I looked around, looking for a single familiar face. No one other than parents hugging their children goodbye.

Envy consumes me for a moment, before realizing I'd rather be here alone in the cold, than have my alcoholic dad and my absent mother trying to hug me goodbye.

The train pulls into the station, followed by a choo, indicating its arrival. I hugged myself tightly, absorbing whatever warmth I have left to contain, before stepping foot on the train.

Compartment after compartment, I make my way to compartment F3. Sliding the door open, I am smacked by a colliding body, and a hug so tight I had lost my breath. "Oh my god, Anna! I've missed you so much" a voice squeals.

Pulling apart from the breathtaking hug, I see Cassie smiling at me revealing her pearly white teeth. She had confidence in her smile. The last time I saw her, she had braces. She looked better than ever and I could tell she knew it.

Looking behind her, I see Logan and Talon. Talon stands up and hugs me, lifting me in the air to fully capture him. "It's nice to see you Indie" As my arms wrap around him, I feel muscles that definitely were not there last year. His back and his arms were toned, and his shirt presented them perfectly.

I let out a laugh into his ear "Tal every time you call me Indie, a little bit of vomit fills my mouth" As he puts me down, I look over at Logan. His mouth curved into a smile as our eyes connected.

Logan got hot

"Someone finally hit puberty" I tease. He jokingly rolls his eyes as he begins to stand up.

Approaching me, he says, "Someone finally grew boobs". He laughs at his own joke as he hugs me. Taking a deep breath, I inhale what smells like Cigarettes, mixed with aftershave. Some things never change. Pulling away, I smile at him one last time before lifting my suitcase and placing it in the open storage space above the seat.

Talon and Cassie were sharing a seat, so I sat with Logan. Looking over at Cass as I sit down, I analyze her facial features. She looks so different. Her hair color is a darker shade of red than it was before. She looked so beautifully mesmerizing.

Looking up at me, she smiles at the fact I was already looking at her "So how was Italy?" She asks while eating a pumpkin pasty

"As well as it could've been." I sigh, sliding my hands under my thighs.

"Any hot Italians?" Cassie smirks. Cass and I had both had a thing for Italians for the longest time. After we found out I'd be leaving for a year, we kept talking about how I'd come back with an Italian boyfriend, and he would have a brother for Cassie. Unfortunately, that plan didn't ensue.

"Many" I laugh "But most of them were well over the age of 30"

"How come every attractive man you come across is old enough to be your father?"

"That's those daddy issues" Logan chimed in. Turning to face him, he looks at me with a playful smile

After a fair few minutes, or more accurately an hour, all the gossip had been caught up on; Tal got suspended for showing up to class drunk, Logan made the quidditch team, Cass pierced her belly button herself, and her dad was not too happy about it, but her mother loved it.
