Welcome Home ((Zane))

[Trinity Bleu]

Trinity sat anxiously in compartment eighteen, the friends she had made over the year laughing around her. Her long red hair was in perfect curls and her make-up was glossing gracefully over her face. She was wearing black gaucho pants, a white sequined tank and a black shrug along with her black beaded Indian moccasins. Looking a bit closer you could see her beaded dangled earrings hanging just above her shoulders and the glossy shine on her long fingernails. A smile seemed to be permanently adorning her face since she awoke that morning, she was finally going home to see her father. She had missed him so much and to see his face again would be like a glimpse of heaven for her.

Her cat Oliver was sleeping silently in the shelf above, clueless as to where they were going, more interested in sleep than anything. Trinity sat twiddling her fingers anxiously and look out the window as the trees and bushes passed by. She was oblivious to the chat and laughter of her friends discussing their summer plans. The day seemed to be drawling on forever, but it wasn't that late because the trolley carrying treats and food hadn't even come by yet.

Trinity was not only ecstatic about seeing her father and excited to see her mother, she was also nervous about seeing her brother. She usually managed getting through the school year, only running into him once or twice... but during the summer there was no way to avoid him. Although she knew nothing was ever going to get better between them, she still had a tiny light of hope that her brother would one day stop detesting her and love her like an old brother should love a sister. She knew that he hated her because of her close relationship with her father... but it wasn't her fault that he never chose to develop a relationship with their father. However, it was her fault that she believed pure blood was the same whether it was a Slytherin or Ravenclaw. She sighed heavily and rested her hand on her head, being careful not to flatten her curls. Her smile began to wither from her face and a deep frown took its place.

It was a short thirty minutes later that the trolley arrived, carrying with it sweets and foods of all kinds. Trinity decided not to get anything, her stomach wasn't feeling well and she knew that her addiction to chocolate wouldn't help any. Her friends, however, began to pig out on all the delicious delicacies. She smiled and watched her friends contently chowing down and laughing about things that had happened over the school year. She began to relax again and the same excited feeling returned to her. They were almost there...

Zane sat quietly in compartment 26, a huge scowl across his face causing the skin between his eyebrows to wrinkle profusely. He was wearing a tight black shirt and ripped blue jeans, his hair spiked as usual. Staring down at the cushion he was sitting on, he began picking at the threads that were popping from the seam. He was accompanied by three other pureblood Slytherins who were, just as Zane, sitting silently.

His mind was stirring and he felt as if it were a big stew in which he was swirling around in, unable to find his balance. He didn't want to go home, he didn't want to see his sister, even more he didn't want to see his father. There loving relationship, the one he never had, made him both sick to his stomach and weak in the heart. The only comforting thought of going home for the summer was his mother's pineapple cake and her comforting smile. He loved his mother, more than anyone in the world, even if he rarely showed it. Returning from his thoughts Zane lifted his head and noticed that the trolley had come by. His stomach was growling and he was beginning to get a headache so he ordered a sandwich and ate it in silence.

It was beginning to get a bit dark outside so Zane stood and pulled on his jacket, his owl Fright squawking uncontrollably, and then slumped back down... disappointed that the train had reached it's destination so quickly. He folded his arms across his chest and scowled, deeper than he had before. Summer would officially begin the moment he stepped off the train, the thought of this formed a rock in his stomach and his head begin to swarm again.

The train had barely come to a complete stop when Trinity jumped up from her seat excitedly. Her orange cat Oliver hissed as she grabbed him quickly from the cabinet above, startling him from his peaceful sleep. He yawned graciously and then nestled back into a ball as Trinity headed towards the halls of the train. She pushed and shoved students that were of younger age as she quickly made her way to the exit.

She reached the exit and slowed to step gracefully down the stairs and onto the cement below. A smile grew furiously on her face as she saw the tall and handsome structure of her father. She set her bags on the ground quickly and then ran up to her father and jumped into his arms, hugging him tightly. He spun her around, her red curls twirling around with her body. She breathed in deeply taking in all the scents of her father, she had missed him so much. He set her down and she kissed him lightly on the cheek, "I missed you so much!," she said smiling brightly. They sat talking for nearly twenty minutes before Trinity looked and saw her older brother Zane stepping from the train. The smile faded from her face as she walked a few feet and picked up her bags, whipping her hair as she turned around to show her disdain for her brother.
