Luella hated chaotic atmospheres- and she especially hated crowds. So that made September 1st her personal hell. As if getting on the train without forgetting anything isn't stressful enough, you also have to deal with the bustling crowd on the train platform.
She was returning for her third year at Hogwarts after a long, dreadful summer home at the Rosier estate. It wasn't as bad as it usually was, her father was hardly ever home and she had managed to evade her stepmother for most of it.
Her stepmother Evangaline Rosier, formally Carrow, was the classic, evil stepmother. She spent her free time terrorizing children and stealing candy from babies. Well, maybe not that but she definitely wasn't a kind woman.
The brunette took in her surroundings and tried to move forward towards the train when a body suddenly collided with her. She stumbled back a step and looked up to see who had pushed into her.
It was none other than the infamous James Potter.
"Sorry kid, I wasn't looking-," James' whole body froze up when he finally looked at the girl.
She was the carbon copy of Sirius's late sister, Cassiopeia. Quite literally down to the T. They had the same light brown hair and grey-blue eyes. Hell, they even had the same nose and face shape!
Those oh-so-familiar eyes made eye contact with him, "Oh, no it's fine sir. It was my fault I wasn't paying attention." Luella said sheepishly. She bent down to start picking up the books that fell off her cart.
James snapped out of his trance and managed to find his voice, "Oh, here let me help you with those!"
His hand hovered over a book that he recognized, Pride and Prejudice. He had a feeling of deja vu hit him at that moment, that was the book he would always see Cassieopia with. James quickly collected the book along with a few others and swiftly handed it back to the girl. He kept the classic in his hands.
"You know I had a friend back when I went to Hogwarts who would always be reading that book," he said while pointing to Pride and Prejudice, "she said it was the best classical romance out there. It was her favorite."
Luella's eyes lit up with interest, "Really? It's my favorite too, the romance in it is so carefully thought out that it quickly became one of my favorites!" she paused, thinking back on his words, "It was also my mum's favorite, this is actually her copy, that's also why it's one of my favorites."
The book was slightly open to where James could see the name Cassiopeia Black scrawled neatly in black ink. His heart panged at her signing it with the name Black and not Rosier, she never did accept that part of her life.
