Rain and Hearts

CHAPTER 1: The Meet

ELENE'S POV

I am at the platform 9 3/4 , even though I am here , this all feels surreal. I still can't wrap my head around the fact that I am going to Hogwarts. "Really? A magic school?", these are the first thoughts that came to my mind when Hermione got her letter. I have never believed magic actually existed beyond fairytales and story books. But this year , I got my letter and trust me, I still can't believe it.

But here I am, I just walked through a freaking wall to get onto the platform and no one noticed. FUCK. And mom and dad are giving me the same old advices "be careful, be a good student , ask your sister for help if u need, blah , blah , blah".

Be like your sister, they tell me. What if don't want to? I think it, but I don't say it. I just nod my head. I meet Harry , Ron , Ginny , Fred and George again. I have met them before too. For the last four years, every time, we come to leave Hermione, we spend time with the Weaslys' and all of them are lovely. Harry is dating Ginny and my sister is dating Ron, so they are busy having romantic time with each other. Our parents are having the adult talk and I just stand there looking at everyone hurrying around. And when it's time to board the train, we all say our goodbyes and board the train. I sit with Harry, Ron and obviously my sister. 

I'm just staring at the view outside. I'm not nervous, just curious to finally get to see Hogwarts.

"Elene , are you sure you packed everything ?", Hermione asks me. She has been asking me questions since we boarded the train. UGHH

"Oh god! Yes Hermione , this is the fourth time you have asked me this question. Stop being such a mom." I roll my eyes , annoyed.

*Harry and Ron laugh*

 "You two! There is nothing to laugh about and you little devil ,I'm just making sure ,after all, this is your first time in Hogwarts. you need to be sure about everything." 

"Well it's not like we can do anything now , we are already on the train."

"You little-"

"Stop it you two! Hermione, come on, Elene is smart enough to handle herself." Harry says as he interrupts her.

"And even if she needs anything she will come to us . It's not like we are leaving her alone in Hogwarts.", Ron adds.

"THANK YOU!" I sigh.

 "And even you should be a little more polite to your sister, Elene." Harry says turning my way.

 "Huh! Whatever."

"Yeah I guess you guys are right." Hermione replies, still worry crawling her face. 

"Yes they are . Now stop worrying mom." I reassure her .

Hermione laughs. Harry and Ron giggle. Time has passed and I am really getting bored. I decide to take a little walk and I get up.

"And where are you going ?" Hermione asks me.

"Just to take a little stroll. I'm getting a little bored here."

"Did you just call us boring?" Ron says, with sarcasm in his voice , as usual.

"Yes. Now lemme go and explore a little."

"Have fun!"

As I am walking along the compartments, someone bumps into me.

"Hey there! Dude! Watch where you are going." The person who bumped into me was a boy, probably 4th or 5th year , he has an innocent face and he stutters while he is talking to me. He seems really awkward and shy.

"Uhh I'm so sorry. I-I-I didn't mean to-". 

"It's okay. No worries. Anyways what's the hurry about?"

"I lost Trevor. It's my toad. I can't seem to find it."

"Oh no ! You want any help?"

"It's okay , this is not my first time loosing him , I will find him. By the way I'm Neville Longbottom. Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too ! I'm Elene Granger."

"So you are the sister Hermione was talking about."

"Well ,yeah. Anyways good luck finding Trevor. See ya!"

"Thanks! See ya!"

Just as I am strolling, I see a boy sitting alone in the compartment and I decide to talk with him, being the curious little bitch that I am. Weirdly enough the door is open.

"Hey ! Is there anyone else with you ?"

"No." He says , not even looking at me, with a hint of anger in his voice. He has his fists clenched and keeps his head down.

"Well can I come inside?"

"Why? You too wanna threaten me ?"

"What are you talking about?" I ask, really confused with his strange behavior.

"Why are you acting like you don't know what I am talking about?"

"Cause I don't." I really don't!

"What a tragedy!"

"No need to be mean. I'll leave if u want. You could just tell me." 

I leave the compartment being really mad and confused. Such a piece of shit. I could have just walked away, but NO! I had to talk to some random stranger and get a rude response in return. What a waste of trying.
