I quickly got up and kept muttering "I am so so so sorry!" as I stuck my hand to help her up. 

"Get off of me you clumsy idiot!" she squeaked.

  I swear I heard Nico's eye twitch.

 "I am so sorry!" I repeated and helped her up but she pushed me down. 

"Shut up do you know who I am!" she yelled at me.

 Nico stepped in with his oh so kind words. "Lady I don't give a fuck about who you are. He said sorry already leave it at that." 

She huffed at him then took a second look. "You'll regret talking to me, the brightest wizard of our time like that!" she retorted already marching away from us. " 

We shared a look before cracking up. "You'll regret talking to me like that"  I mimicked. 

"Who did she think she was!" Nico wheezed out the words. I stared at him because he was just so beautiful. He built a healthy relationship with his body after the giant war and not only that, he built a sense of self worth. 

That boy will be the death of me one day but at least I'll die happy. I snapped out of my thoughts to hear the train start up. 

"Fuck!" I exclaimed. I grabbed his arm and pulled him along toward the express. We quickly rushed up the stairs before lugging our bags too. Nico managed about five steps before he face planted into the wall. 

"NICKY!" I shouted in panic. He looked up and his pale skin was marred with streaks of red running running down his nose. 

"Ah holy crap!" he cried out clutching for his nose. Then before I could respond the boy, Ron?, bumped into Nico. 

"Watch were your going mate! You messed up my robes! What is wrong with you newcomers!" he stared in disdain. It was right there and then when I knew I was gonna strangle someone. 

"Dude you bumped into him! Can't u see he's hurt?!" I frantically waved. "Have some manners because I don't know what happened to you, your mom seems like the sweetest person."

Scoffing he turned around and marched toward two other people. "Hermione can you believe these two oafs?" I whispered to Nico, "Isn't that the girl who was the brightest wizard of her time?" 

He nodded back to me. While the trio disappeared into the crowd of students we set our sights onto an empty compartment. Then a click on the loud speaker. 

Hello students of Hogwarts! We have had the luck of hosting two new American transfers from Camp Hecate. Please give them a warm welcome -pause-

The silence that followed was certainly not a warm welcome.

-and tasked to help the around the school will be Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley. The three names mentioned will you please head over to compartment 13? Thank you and have a wonderful school year!

The shuffles of three angry students followed.

 "Bloody hell why do we have to help them?!" the tomato one cried out. 

"Cough cough them is right here!" Nico turned toward them. The one that looked a bit like me stuck his hand out. 

"I'm Harry Potter" he said with an upturned nose refusing to look us in the eyes. 

The bushy haired girl, Herminnie?, rolled her eyes. "Hello are you dumb? He's the Boy who lived!"

 "And....? I'm also living." I sassed back. They turned their backs toward us and the silence began. Right there and then I realized it was going to be a long ride.
