It was the beginning of Flora's fifth year at Hogwarts and it was the same as it always was standing on platform 93 quarters with her father and mother's nails digging into her shoulders demanding things off of her and her brother's that they wouldn't be able to accomplish.
She turned around to be faced with her parents' Ice cold stares , a kick of courage within her forced her to stand up for herself .
'Let go' she told them .
'what did you say to me'her father asked , now gripping her arm 10 times harder then he had been previously she grimaced, however she has been through much, much, much worse .
She still knew that it would leave a nasty bruise .
Her brother looked at her sympathetically and got her out of their father's grip and took them round the other side with their trunks , leaving them to apparate back to their manor .
She smiled at if you want to walk past she was glad to get back on the express .
Hogwarts was a safe place away from her family apart from her brothers of course she loves them but they didn't differ too much from their parents beliefs .
She was one of the last on the train and couldn't find her friend and her brother had already left .
A puzzled look was left on her face when she was asked if she wanted to join a compartment by a fellow girl in her year .
She recognised her from quidditch matches she'd also been her partner in potions a few times .
'Thankyou Angelina are you sure I don't wanna impose' I asked concered .
'If your were I wouldn't have asked you' she chuckled lightly .
'I suppose your right' I replied .
My heart quickened when she opened the door to the carrige and everyone's eyes were on me .
'Guys this is Flora Mallow' she introduced me , I saw everyone tense slightly at my last name .
She followed on with that I'm a Hufflepuff and told me everyone's names individually .
I was seated in-between one of the twins and Alicia , the twin I learned was called George .
We didn't really make conversation within ourselves .
'So a Mallow hey?' Fred asked .
'And a Hufflepuff?' George chimed in from beside me . I noticed the subtle differences between him and Fred as I looked up , he had a longer face and Fred had a scar on his left eyebrow .
'Yeah , they weren't happy about that' I said not realising just how quiet I had went after the whole house situation was mentioned , after all it was one of the worst nights of my life .
I felt a hand brush against mine , trying to get my attention .
It was George asking if I was alright .
I obviously wasn't but I couldn't tell him that it was my first time officially meeting him .
I simply nodded and brushed it off no one else needs to worry about me I cause enough problems as it is
