And his compliment made her blush even more.
As he cocked his head to study her, Mia found herself doing the same. She had seen him around but they had never officially met. She took hold of his hand and shook it. "It's nice to meet you Rafe. Mia Gibbins." Easing her hand out of his, she gave him a smile and gestured at the seat opposite him. "You don't mind me sharing with you, do you?"
Rafe was grinning ear to ear as she caught her blushing. It was flattering really and rather refreshing in a way.
"Very nice to meet you too Mia." Rafe raised an eyebrow as she asked to share the compartment.
"I don't mind one bit." Her smile was warm and so full of life. It was nice to meet someone so cheerful considering how gloomy he'd felt in the past couple of days.
"Would you like a butterbeer or chocolate frog? I think I might have more..." He began to dig around in his satchel and found two butterbeers and put them aside. He began to dig a little deeper and pulled out a chocolate frog and a couple of sugar quills. It wasn't much, but thought he'd share what he had.
