The Train Day
I wake up feeling a little groggy, not gonna lie, I didn't get much sleep last night... but I don't even care! It's finally the day! I'm going to Hogwarts!
I turn to Midnight and say "Alright, today's the day our journey begins." She gives me a little head tilt of confusion, probably because she has no idea what I just said, but whatever, she'll see the wonderful castle and then understand my excitement.
I smell waffles again, man I love waffles, and go downstairs to see Mum and Dad already dressed and ready to go. They're both drinking their coffee, as usual, but when they hear me come downstairs the both look up, smile and say, "Are you excited Y/n?"
"Umm DUH." I reply, I mean, how could I not be excited?
I eat my breakfast and then go back upstairs to finish packing and to get ready.
What should I wear for the train station? There's DEFINITELY gonna be cute boys this time. This time I can be a little less presentable I guess, we will be wearing our robes most of the time.
I decide to wear a nice yellow top, (some Hufflepuff pride of course) and some black leggings. I don't wanna be sitting on a train for who knows how long in jeans.
I finish packing everything, brush my teeth and hair, and put my hair in a nice, high ponytail. I really like my hair, but not as much as my parents do. They're always telling me how people would kill to have my 'beautiful, long Y/h/c hair.' Anyways, I make my way downstairs, and ask Dad to help me get my stuff, and then we all get in the car and drive off to Kings Cross Station.
We arrive at Kings Cross Station, and Dad starts getting my stuff, but then I don't feel so good all the sudden.
We start walking into the station, and I hear Mum and Dad having their own conversation, but I can barely hear them over my own thoughts. What if I don't get into Hufflepuff? Will Mum and Dad be disappointed? I'm gonna miss Mum and Dad so much, I won't be seeing them for months. I hope they'll be okay without me. What if I don't make any friends and I'm alone? What if I don't do well in my classes? What if I embarrass myself??
We run through the barrier, and start walking towards the train, but we still have time, so we wait until it's time to board the train.
My thoughts get interrupted by Mum looking at me and saying "Are you okay Y/n? You've been very quiet this whole time."
I look at Mum and open my mouth to say I'm okay, but nothing comes out, and I can't hold back my tears. "I'm gonna miss you so much Mum and Dad." I say, multiple tears flowing down my cheeks. I hope no one sees me crying, that would be embarrassing.
"I know honey." Dad says, pulling me into a hug.
"We're going to miss you just as much," Mum says, now joining us in the hug, "but we'll see you soon, and you can write to us through Midnight. You're going to be an amazing witch, and you'll meet so many people along the way." Mum finishes, and I hug both Mum and Dad even tighter.
I then take a step back to grab my stuff, so I can start boarding the train. I don't wanna be stuck with some stinky kid. I hug Mum and Dad again, take a deep breath, wipe my tears, and then board the train.
The train starts moving, so I go to wave to Mum and Dad. "Bye Mum and Dad, I love you!" I say with a big smile on my face. I then go back to sit down in my compartment. I found one all to myself luckily. Any other kid would like to get out and meet the other first years, but I'm too shy for that. I enjoy my alone time.
I was starting to pull out one of my textbooks to get sort of a head start on what I'd be learning this year, considering the fact that I don't learn things very easily, but then I hear the compartment door slide open.
