Charlotte woke up to her alarm blaring, yawning she held her arms above her head, stretching out her body and cracking her neck. Reaching out she slammed her hand on top of the alarm to turn it off, grabbing the duvet and sheets Charlotte untangled herself from the bed. Lifting her legs over the edge of the bed she sat up.

It was eight in the morning later than she normally got up but it was the perfect time to be ready by the time she needed to get to Kings Cross Station.

Pushing herself off her bed she walked over to the dresser, pulling out one of the drawers she looked for her favorite pair of jeans and one of her jumpers. Opening a different drawer she pulled out socks, and a matching white lace underwear and bra. She had almost all lace and matching sets, they made her feel pretty and boosted her confidence just knowing she had them on.

Walking to the bathroom she placed the clothes on the counter by the sink. Charlotte started the shower, closing the shower curtain letting it heat up. Pulling off her t-shirt she placed it on the other side of the counter, stepping out of her underwear she put them in the same pile.

Walking to the shower she pulled back the curtain and stepped in letting the scolding water hit her skin.  Letting the water soak her hair, untangling it before she washed it. Putting the shampoo into her hand she washed her roots, scrubbing her scalp gently then rising her hair.

Spreading the conditioner through the lower part of her hair, combing her fingers through her hair to spread the conditioner throughout her hair evenly. Rinsing off her hands she put her body wash onto her body pouf, scrubbing her skin thoroughly. Charlotte washed off the conditioner and body wash with the water.

Turning off the water she grabbed her towel. Wrapping it around her torso she stepped out of the shower. The water from her hair dripped on her shoulders and back, the droplets ran down her skin. Taking off the towel she dried her hair as much as she could with the towel then she went on drying the rest of her body.

Leaving the towel on the floor she started to get dressed. Pulling on her underwear, then slipping on her bra. Socks, jeans, then sweater, then she washed her face. Waving her wand she dried and styled her hair. Charlotte put on concealer and mascara, grabbing everything from the bathroom she pushed everything into her trunk. The trunk was enchanted so it had and infinite amount of space in it, opening the drawers of the dresser she pulled out all her clothes also throwing it into the trunk. Then she went around the room putting all her items into the trunk.

When she was done she closed the trunk and latched it. She walked over to the window and opened it, calling for her owl, Hooty, who landed on the windowsill just moments later. Holding the cage out for the owl the owl stepped into it and Charlotte locked it.

Waving her wand she shrunk her trunk and put it in her messenger bag, she also put her wand in the inside pocket. Slipping on her shoes Charlotte did one last check throughout the whole room and left.

Walking through the train Charlotte looked for an empty train compartment, he found none but there was one with just a man the rest had two to three people in them. Opening the compartment door Charlotte popped her head in. "Do you mind if I sit here?" The man looked up from his newspaper giving her a glare. "Cool thanks." Charlotte continued through the doorway much against the will of the man.

She placed her bag on the opposite seat and sat down back against the outside wall. Putting her feet up on the seat. "I'm Charlotte." She turned her head to the man who glared at her through his eyelashes. "Snape." He grunted out, flicking the newspaper again so he could read a different section.

Seeing that the man was occupied Charlotte decided to occupy herself. Grabbing her purse she grabbed a book from within it, Thinner by Stephen King. Opening it to the second chapter she started reading the words.

✮

Snape woke up lifting his head up from the back of the seat, he didn't even realize he was asleep until he woke up. He yawned, closing his eyes and stretched his left arm up and the other bent around the back of his head holding his left elbow.

"You snore in your sleep," he looked down at Charlotte who was sitting upside down her feet at the head of her seat and her head resting on the floor. "just so your know." She placed her book on her lap.

Checking the time annoyed by the girl, they were almost at Hogwarts. "You should change into your school robes." Taking his advice Charlotte started to get up, lifting her head and pushing up. Her hand slipped and she fell to the ground head first.

A chuckle came from Snape. "It's not funny I hurt myself." She whined. "That's the exact reason why it's funny." Charlotte frowned groaning, she grabbed her book from the floor and her purse from the seat, leaving the compartment.

She can back a few moments later, "Where's the bathroom?" She questioned. "If you go all the way to the end of the car and turn to the right I believe that's the women's restroom, if not it's the left I can never remember." Nodding she left again and Snape went back to his newspaper not gettting to finish it earlier as he fell asleep.

Charlotte got to the bathroom easily following Snape's directions, knocking on the door she made sure that it was unoccupied. Receiving no answer she opened the door and stepped in. Locking the door behind her she opened her purse, pulling out her shrunk trunk she placed it on the counter. Waving her wand she returned it to it original size.

Catching it before it tipped over she made sure it was secure on the counter before unlocking it. Going through everything in her trunk she found her uniform.

She rolled one of the black garter tights legs so it would be easier for her to put it on. After getting the tights on she buttoned up her dress shirt tying her black tie she tightened it. Stepping into her skirt she pulled it up over the white dress shirt and zipped up the side, grabbing her grey sweater she struggled a bit to put it on. Lastly she pulled on her all black robe and her dark brown heeled loafers.

Putting the clothes and shoes she was wearing earlier into her trunk she latched, locked, and shrunk it again tossing it somewhere in her purse. Going into her purse she pulled out some mascara and touched up her eyelashes, she loosely braided her hair. She latched her pearl bracelet on and made sure her fathers watch and her mothers pocket were secure in their respected places, putting her new earrings in she did a once over making sure everything was in place and left the restroom.
