Imperfections

1

Charlie Davies couldn't walk any faster than her actual speed, yet she felt like it took ages for her and her father to get to the 9¾ platform. The young 15 (soon to be 16) years old girl couldn't wait any more to get back to Hogwarts, School of witchcraft and wizardry. Her father, Edmund Davies was not quite used to passing through walls yet, being a muggle. In fact, Charlie was a muggle born, which meant that the girl was a witch who had the both of her parents muggles. Anyway, now Charlie was giving her luggage to the train driver and was already trying to find her friends in the enormous mass of people on the platform 9¾. The girl had to stretch all her body, tiptoeing to try to catch a glimpse of them, which shouldn't be so hard, given the fact that Tom Finchley had bright pink hair.

To the great sadness of her dad, Charlie said her goodbyes while he reminded her to send owls and to behave. "Don't worry dad, you know I always behave!" The young girl had responded, not fooling the old man one bit. After giving him a big hug she started to walk toward the crowd, looking for her group of friends once again. She finally saw two red heads stick out of the mass, accompanied by a dreadlocked head. Davies hurried her walk and reached her friends not without trouble, with all the people pushing and elbowing her.

"Well Hello my dear friends." She said, walking right in the middle of the circle they had made. "How have you missed me during this great summer ?" The girl playfully asked while showing a bright smile.

"It was a quite good summer actually." Responded Lee Jordan, her very first and best friend ever. "Very calm and reposing"

"Such a shame that Tom wasn't there !" Fee Weasley started.

"Yeah. He missed such the party, it didn't feel complete without him." added George Weasley, his twin brother.

"You think you're funny do you ?" The girl responded while arching a brow.
for any response they just laughed and Lee Jordan, the one with de dreads took Charlie by the shoulders and side-hugged her. The teen girl faked pushed him but really she liked the hug, being a very tactile person.

In the distance, Angelina Johnson and Maya Arkwood could be seen, struggling to get to the little group already formed. Maya was an Hufflepuff student, while Angelina was a Gryffondor, just like Charlie. The two girls greeted the group and they all got in the train. Not being able to all fit in a cabin together, they parted ways, Angelina going to find Alicia Spinnet, a fellow Gryffondor girl. The twins, Lee and Charlie stayed together while Maya found another compartment for her and Tom Flinchey to share, along with other of their friends from Hufflepuff. 

"So, how was the world cup ?" Lee asked, also getting Charlie's attention. 

"It was pretty cool, until the deatheaters came ruin the thing and tried to kill the muggles who owned the place." Said George in a cold tone while fred was out of the compartment, talking to his brother, Ron weasley who was entering his fourth year in the school. 

"I read about that in the daily prophet, looked quite horrible. I'm glad i couldn't come in the end." Charlie added, while chewing on a few cauldron cakes. 

"Well so am I." said Lee while George nodded and Fred entered the compartment. 

Charlie curled up in the corner of the bench, using her school robes as a blanket, wanting to sleep a little, Lee was sat on the opposit side of the bench while the tweens were on the bench in front of them. The girl quickly fell asleep, despite the constent chatering of the three other boys. She woke up when some sort of mass was applied on her legs, shaking her up a little. It was Tom Flinchey, the boy with bright pink hair. His hair weren't natural, he was using dye, which he managed to snick up every year without Filch or any other teacher noticing. Since no one could find how he had those hair, people were assuming he was a metamorphmagus, or that he had enchanted his hair so they stayed that color. It wasn't any of that since him and Charlie had a secret meeting in the hufflepuff bathrooms every month to redo his colouring. Tom and Charlie had a solid bound linking them, they shared every secrets with eachother, so it is naturaly that Tom had confessed to her being bisexual, one night she was applying pink dye on his head during their second year. It was a secret that stayed between them and Maya, being Tom's friend and ex-girlfriend. 

"Oi ! I'm right under you idiot!" The girl cried, while she could feel Tom's elbow sink deep in her calf, hurting her. 

"Sorry Love." He said, a bright smile toward Charlie. She just rolled her eyes and got up, needing to go to the toilet. While she was away, the boys talked about their summer, the tweens exagerating the attack and Lee and Tom looking at them like they were heroes. Charlie talked to some of her friends on the way and also bought some sweets of the trolley. Needing to breath a little more, the young woman opended a window while chewing on a candy. She inhaled deeply the air coming from outside of the train and thought about her summer. Her parents being muggles, she was not allowed to go see the world  Quiditch cup. Instead, she went on vacation with her grand parents in France, South of France to be precise. It was a little campsite were many people were meeting each year and Charlie knew the place well. There she saw Nicolas, a boy her age that she met every year. This year, being both older, some things had happened between them. There always had been something between the teenagers and this year they had gave in. Though they both knew that it wasn't something serious, it felt nice to have their first time with someone they had known for so long. anyway, they said that they both wouldn't write to each other in order to not attach. Plus, Nicolas said he had a crush on a girl in his lycée (high school) and Charlie had given him tips on seducting her. 

"Well hello miss Davies" Charlie saw Lee get out of the cabin he was in, walking toward her. 

"We already saw eachother dumbass, i was seated right next to you for the past three hours." She reminded him while she pulled a packet of cigarettes off her back pocket. she took one for herself and offered one to Lee which he gladly took. Lee lighted the cigarettes and the both of them stayed silent. It wasn't a habbit for them to smoke, it was only occasional. Charlie let some time pass before talking. "Nicolas and I did it this summer." 

Lee looked at her with a questionning look while taking a hit on his cigarette. "Who's Nicolas again? And what did you do?" Charlie immediatly smiled. She knew Lee since she was four, and she told him everything, yet she always forgot how he just never remembers anything. 

"Nicolas? he's the guy from France. You know ? Handsome guy from camping ?" He nodded in agnolegment. "Yeah well we had sex." Charlie said, totally calm. 

Lee on the other hand had been very surprised and had strated coughing, suffocating with his own saliva. "Excuse me?" The girl started to laugh while her best friend was trying to process the information. "Was it good ?" the girl simply nodded and Lee laughed with her. 

They finished their cigs before returning to their friends who were in the middle of a conversation talking about their dream store. 

Finally arriving in Hogsmead, Charlie took a deep breath and streched out her sore legs and back from sitting all day long. She took a carriage with Maya, the blond Hufflepuff and Tom, the pink haired boy. Cho chang also sat with them, her friends' carriage being full. the group chatted all along the journey to Hogwarts, getting to know Cho a little more. Charlie seemed to keep out of the conversation, too occupied with her thoughts. The girl loved to look at people. Not in a weird creepy way, no. She liked to see people how they really were when they thought nobody was paying attention to them. For example, Charlie loved when she was seeying Maya relax, along with the rest of her body, meening her stomach was loosen and her large thighs were reposing on the bench she was sitting on. She loved seeying her friends relax, like when Tom wasn't caring about his size and the way he was sitting so no one would notice the way he was just so much taller than others, when he did not hide his hands, so everyone could see how beautifully big they were. Charlie knew all people had insecurities, her the first, it had taken years  for her to accept her unperfect body with her vitiligo stains and her white hairs and her large thighs and hips... Everyone had insecurities. And this was precisely what Charlie liked about people, their inperfections. 

"Char ? you're staring again." Maya reminded Charlie. "Plus, we're there." 

The blond girl showed The other one the window, by which you could see the castle, illuminated by many lanterns and torches. 

"Home sweet home" Tom said as the three of them stand in front of the entrance, Cho already gone to her friends.
