Ebony walked steadily along the aisle of the train, trying not to lose her balance. Her eyes skimmed left and right, looking hopelessly for an empty seat. Or at least one that didn't come with a group of students who looked at her with a scornfulness she could feel.
Ebony had always been a bit of an outcast because of her thick curly brown hair, and her long and lean physique. The muggleborns said she looked like some TV show character named "Big Bird". Having never seen muggle television, she had no idea what they meant, but she knew it wasn't nice.
She had almost reached the opposite end of the train to which she had started, and still hadn't found a seat. Without much hope, she knocked on a door to find 3 students, seemingly about the same age as her.
" Do you mind if I sit with you? Everywhere else is full".
A boy with flaming red hair sitting next to the window, was much to into stuffing his face with what appeared to be licorice and chocolate frogs to notice her. The boy seated next to him had dark hair and blue eyes that were shielded by a pair of thick circular glasses. Harry Potter. It had to be. Ebony had heard he was attending Hogwarts and only hoped shed be able to meet him, though she imagined he was a lot more popular than she was. So it surprised her greatly when he smiled up at her.
"Yeah why not there's plenty of room!"
She sat down across from Harry, next to a girl with light brown hair almost as bushy as Ebony's, though less bushy. She turned around and smiled.
"I'm Hermione Granger" she said with great pride, holding out her hand.
"I'm Ebony Lockhart" she said, taking Hermione's hand.
"I'm new here. I came from Beauxbatons"
"I'm Harry"
"Nice to meet you"
"Likewise". His grip was firm
" You know Ebony, I think you're the first person I've ever met who's actually let finish introducing myself without cutting me off" Harry was used to having people finish his introduction for him.
"Well I mean everyone knows who you are, but I'd figure you'd be tired of hearing other people introduce you" she let out a little chuckle.
The big with red hair cleared his throat.
"I'm Ron Weasley by the way" he wiped his hand on his jumper before shaking Ebony's, though his hands were still sweaty, and a little sticky from the candy.
They seemed to be a good group. Ebony was thankful no one else had let her sit with them.
