The Ride Back to Reality ((Jenny))

[Eric Caolan R6]

Eric walked through the train carrying his trunk, well…dragging it behind him. He passed by cars filled with everything from jumpy firsties, to a group of Slytherins who gave him the evil eye as he passed by. He assumed they heard about the mishap with Caleb, but who cared…he was tried and angry. He lugged his trunk to the middle of the train where he finally found a car with a couple snogging. He made a disgusted face and kept going, and there it was. An empty car, not even close to the back! What luck! He smiled and put his trunk in the overhang and stretched out on the seat where he was still facing the window.

He knew he would miss Hogwarts over the summer, since it was his real home. The place he was going to…it was a house, but not a home. He would see Tierney on the Platform with Larke, their house-elf, and the two wizards would exchange uncomfortable formalities. His missed his mother and father…but he hoped that they would defy Tierney and at least spend his first day home with him. He frowned; what if they didn’t?

Sighing, he put his hands behind his head and waited for the train to pull off. Maybe he would have the car to himself? He doubted it, every year since his first he shared with at least someone.

She began to walk in the train emotionally and to look for an empty compartment. And found too, but there is someone in it. ‘Another one may be, but I can’t look for .. anymore’ she thought. She walked in with slowly steps. Looked at the boy, anxious.. The boy was’nt too care or she was thinking of this. Jenny acted like she coughing to collect himself. And smiled, put her trunk in its place. And sat down on the seat, next to window and against of the boy. Jennifer continued to watch the boy for a few seconds, for understanding the boy’s acts and thinks.

Breathed and rolled her eyes at the end. She did not look at the boy again. He was looking older than herself. Like 15-16.. She began to look out from the window and wait for the pull off.. She thought Hogwarts… and home. From now, she began to miss her cousins. Lizzie’s cry, she thought. Lizzie was the oldest cousin in all and Jenny love her a lot of couse. And a .. Jake. She would not forget him anytime of course. She smiled suddenly. But after her this act, she noticed the boy and collected herself.
“Well.. I’m Jennifer .. Dalton.” She smiled to him. Then smiled with a little high sound. And laughed at the end. She did not know it’s reason. But she liked it.
