Y/n's POV:

Es-tu prêt, amour?” Mom asked as she checked if I have everything with me

T : are you ready, love?

“Je le suis, vous allez beaucoup me manquer tous les deux” I smiled reassuringly to Mom and Dad

T : I am, I'm going to miss you both very much

“Promettez-nous que nous aurons de vos nouvelles dès que vous y arriverez. Et prends soin de ton nouveau hibou, scarlett” Dad kissed my forehead and patted my shoulder

T : Promise us that we'll hear from you the moment you get there. And take care of your new owl, scarlett

“Fera l’affaire, s’il vous plaît prendre soin aussi. Vous deux, maman, papa” I say as I hugged them both

T : Will do, please take care also. Both of you, Mom, Dad

“Êtes-vous sûr d’avoir tout ce dont vous avez besoin? Votre brosse à dents, votre baguette, vos livres-”

T : Are you sure you have everything you need? Your toothbrush, wand, books-

“Oui maman, j’ai tout. Tout ira bien” I chuckled

T : Yes Mom, I have everything. I'll be okay

“She's all grown up isn't she? It was like yesterday when we first dropped her off to her kindergarten class” Dad laughed as he put his arm around Mom

I didn't quite understand, but because of the word 'kindergarten' and 'class' I had a clue they were reminiscing my first time being in school.

“I can't believe we won't see her till Christmas break. The house would be crazy silent when we come back.” Mom says, trying to push back her tears

Again, I didn't understand much. But I knew they would miss me. And I would too.

We all shared one last hug as the train became louder as a few minutes comes by

A few more words were shared then I was off the train a few minutes after.

It didn't take long for me to find a empty cabin, and there I rested. Opened a book I was recently reading and enjoyed the journey.

The whole ride was so far peaceful, the scenery outside was calming, raindrops slightly pounding on the windows with the sun nowhere to be found.

Not until we came to a halt, I was sure we didn't reach the school yet. I heard that the train ride would consist of 8 hrs in total and we'd arrive by dinner time.

I then checked my pocket watch just to make sure, and it was still 6:30. We still had a few hours to pass.

Out of curiosity, I decided to look through the door window of the cabin.

A few moments later, I was harshly pushed back to my seat as the train had moved. It was like someone or something was getting on board.

The air started to become colder and colder every minute, even the raindrops on the window froze. It got to the point I could see my own breath in the air.

Not to mention, the lights have completely shut off.

The next thing I saw, there were few tall, black-cloacked figures with rotten skeletal hands passing by the hallways of the train.

What a great way to start my school year.

-------------

After a few minutes, the lights were back and the train had ran again.

The students also changed into their robes shortly, and I did so too

Other than that, the whole ride was okay.

-------------

I was now in the what they call 'The Great Hall' but I still have to be sorted, it left me no choice but to stand among the crowd of 1st years.

I'd be lying if I didn't say my whole existence was internally screaming. I was the oldest and tallest among the crowd I'm going to enter with.

It didn't take long when a tall woman with long robes and a pointed hat had come out of the big doors. She had said a few things that of course I didn't understand but was probably school regulations and rules.

Then she has spotted me in the back, calling me a few seconds later

“Ms. Èiendrè, please come forward” she had said, luckily I had understood the last word and obliged

“I assume you don't speak English?” she asks, it didn't take her long to know my answer. It was all in my expression.

“Désolé, ai-je dit, vous serez appelé en dernier dans le tri cher. Et ne vous inquiétez pas, vous serez assisté et tutoré par un de nos brillants étudiants. Vous pourriez même les connaître, sachant que vos parents vous ont probablement informé.” she said, patting me on my shoulder and smiled warmly, I returned the smile and gave a simple nod

T : Sorry, I said, you'll be called in last in the sorting dear. And not to worry, you'll be assisted and tutored by a brilliant student of ours. You might even know them, knowing your parents has probably informed you.

She patted my shoulder one last time and made her way up the stairs.

Mother and Father did tell me about them asking a close friend of our family to help me with my stay in Hogwarts, considering I probably will have a rough time in adjusting to everything.

And at the same time, learning a new language while managing my new schedule

-------------

Flashbacks...

finally we were home after hours of walking around and looking for certain things I was required to bring

Mom and I were now in the kitchen preparing dinner, while Dad hang around the living room

“Chéri? Ton père et moi avons décidé de quelque chose” Mom started, glancing at me as she cooked

T : Darling? Your father and I have decided on something

“Qu’est-ce que c’est maman?” I replied, smiling while I finished placing down our utensils

T : What is it Mom?

“Comme vous n’êtes pas vraiment familier avec l’anglais, nous avons pensé que nous allions hibou l’ami le plus proche de notre famille, les malefoy si leur fils Draco serait capable de vous donner des cours particuliers après l’école jusqu’à ce que vous puissiez apprendre” she said, as she had come behind my back and patted my shoulders

T : Since you aren't really familiar with English, we thought we'd owl the closest friend of our family, the malfoy's if their son Draco would be able to tutor you after school till you can learn.

“Cela ne le dérangerait-il pas? Nous avons pas mal de sujets, et cela pourrait interférer avec son temps” I say, looking at her

T : Wouldn't it bother him? We have quite a few subjects, and this might interfere with his time

“Eh bien, nous devrons attendre leur réponse chérie.” she said then we called dad and had dinner

T : Well, we'll have to await their answer darling.

-------------

A few hours later...

It was 10:30 pm, I was about to get in bed when Mom and Dad called downstairs

And they had informed that Draco's parents have agreed and that they'd be sending our headmaster a letter about this soon.

End of flashbacks.

-------------

I just hope we'd get along, this would be a long school year ahead.
