How would she describe Aurora to her? They weren't... friends. They'd only spoken properly once before, and that was only a few weeks ago.
Catching sight of Aurora again as she boarded the train, near the front.
THE FRONT OF THE TRAIN?!
OH WHYYYYYYYYYY.
Why the front of the train?!
When they crash, it's the people at the front that get killed first!
To Delilah, it wasn't even a question of IF the train crashed. It was WHEN. (There's also the fact that the magical qualities of the Hogwarts Express would probably protect the train from such disasters, but there's no way Delilah believes this.) She sighed as she heaved her trunk in the same direction: her desire to spend the train ride with someone defeating her fear of the front of the train.
15 minutes later, Delilah had found the compartment that Aurora was in, but only because the girl had her head stuck out of the compartment door.
"Thanks for waiting for me." She sounded a little too sincere for the comment to be sarcastic, but she was getting there - with her sarcasm. She was learning. Slowly.
Delilah was taking AGES! Pfft. Aurora had let Sebastian and Giacomo out as she waited - though that made very little difference - they just curled up in a different seat and cuddles each other rather than in the carrier. Her cat really had a soft spot for the Pygmy puff... Then again, Sebastian had a soft spot for anything. He was such a softie. As for Giacomo... He was just a ball of cuddly fluff.
Aurora poked her head out again, come ooooooon. There! She grinned as she let Delilah into the compartment.
"But you'd've kicked yourself if I waited and we didn't get our own compartment." she retorted. She was about to slide the door closed when..

Hoggy Hoggy Hogwarts....
Jonathan made a giant leap for mankind onto that train. He simply had with him one trunk. One trunk. No animal, no extra bag, nope! Jonathan just fit everything he had in that single trunk.
PROBLEM???
He was still wearing his summer clothes, he wouldn't be changing into his Hogwarts robes until he was forced to. The boy had on a loose fitting t-shirt with the "Superman" logo on it, and shorts... Along with his aviator glasses. Yup... Not going to school... Not going to school... Not in a long metal tube and not going to school...
He had to find a compartment before they were all swarmed.
So, Jonathan inched his out of place self down the aisle to find a compartment and wouldn't you know it, he came across his BUDDEH Aurora, and that cute girl, Delilah.
Hello, cute girl, Delilah....
Entering the compartment he announced himself while moving passed Delilah who hadn't sat down yet, "GOOD DAY!" Jonathan tossed his trunk on a shelf, and plopped on down across from Aurora.
"So... Long metal tubes, eh?"
Aurora raised her eyebrows at Jonathan.
"It's September..." she said, pointing at his shorts.
"And we are going to Scotland." because who greets people with 'hello' nowadays? Aurora shifted over a seat so that he wasn't say in front of her and propped her feet up on the seat opposite. Sebastian apparently thought he was going to be sat on and stood up, grabbing the Pygmy puff in his mouth and jumped onto Aurora's lap.
Long metal tubes... Yep. Aurora hated trains. They were so
tedious... "I wish we could get there by flying carpet or something..." she said. And there was no comparison between that and brooms - there was more to hold you with a carpet...
