Rhiannon • Mattheo Riddle

1

The aggravating ringing of my alarm rang throughout my room obnoxiously jolting me awake from my sleep as I flung my hand out in a attempt to turn it off missing completely.

Deciding I still didn't want to turn and look the alarm in the eyes , I flung my hand out another time , actually hitting it this time.

I sighed into my pillow lifting my head and slamming it down again in a mood.
"Rhiannon!" I heard my mum screech from her room across the hall , her Irish twinge tickling my ears in a unpleasant way "Rhiannon Saoirse Callahan get your arse up now , your going to miss your pissing train!" she said as she appeared at my door throwing a apple at me so I at least I had something to eat before I left.

"Oww" I grumbled as I rubbed the now sore spot on my head. "Thanks mum" I said sarcastically.
She walked further into the room pulling my duvet off of my body the countryside breeze hitting my skin giving me goosebumps.

"Right, Right I'm up!" I said slowly peeling myself out of my bed.

"Hurry up then we have to set off in 20!" My mum spoke again as she left my room leaving me to get changed into some clothes for the train.

I chose a ravenclaw tank top with some low rise baggy jeans pairing them with a pair of adidas trainers. I smoothed down the crinkles in the outfit before hurrying over to my dressing table.
I began to aggressively brush my hair deciding to leave it down as it was just not hairing. I applied some light makeup with some bronzer to accentuate the high points on my face.

I scurried to the bathroom brushing my teeth and using mouthwash, almost choking on it in the process. Not a nice experience.

"Are ye almost ready?" I heard my dad speak for the first time this morning .

"Yes yes coming pa!" I said as I practically flew down the stairs not forgetting to pick up my suitcases which my mum had placed neatly next to my bedroom door.

I quickly made my way out of the door to which my parents were waiting in the car , my dad thinking he was a boy racer in his ford escort.

I threw my bag in the boot closing it as I slid into the backseat fastening my seatbelt around my body.

My dad started the car, the vehicle making a odd grumbling noise but I decided not to listen.

My mums nimble fingers flicked the radio on it making a cracking sound before smoothly playing the tune of 'Rhiannon' by fleetwood mac.
"Look Rhi, it must know your going away" my dad said his accent thick as he smiled at the song.

My parents are both muggles from Irish farmer family's so when there 7 year old daughter stared making food appear when she was hungry gave them quite the fright.
Things all clicked into place when Minerva McGonagall gave us a visit on the day of my eleventh birthday in the August of 1991. Giving my parents a mere month to prepare to send me off to Hogwarts as I have a summer birthday.

My parents dropped me off at the train station , unfortunately they couldn't stay as they were off to visit my auntie Kerry in Kilkenny. My dad passed me my suitcase, "be careful Rhi" he said as he ruffled my hair aware of the upcoming danger in the wizarding world.

My mum couldn't get a word in as she began to weep in the passenger seat of the car , she has never been good at goodbyes.
"Bye, I'll see you guys at Christmas!" I said with a wave and a smile showing off my pearly teeth.

The car revved off along the cobbled streets as I watched it until it was out of sight.
I turned to face Dublin train station , due to me being in Ireland the Irish kids got to board the train first as it travelled from Ireland to Wales to England and then to a station in Scotland and then there's a short trip to Hogwarts, the Scottish kids are lucky as they get to have a lie in as the train doesn't reach them until about dinner time , "cheeky bastards"I grumbled at the thought.

Once I reached the platform I was greeted by the familiar face of Bridget Murphy, a Hufflepuff girl who was sweet enough to become acquaintances with me due to her being sat next to me in herbology.

She gave me a sweet smile and a wave before she continued her conversation with her parents.

I shuffled through the people as I handed my bag to the porter as he placed it into the trains luggage. "Thank you" I said as the man offered me a small smile.

I boarded the train , beginning my trek to the very last compartment, as it was the first one the trolley lady stopped at.

I swung the door open scared to be met with the piercing brown eyes of Mattheo Riddle ,whys he on the train yet he doesn't live near here I made a assumption. "Sorry" I said overcome by a sudden feeling of shyness.

The boy didn't say anything just stared, I awkwardly turned on my heel deciding to sit in the second compartment the trolley lady goes to.
