Here's the thing, muggle parents, especially Natalia's, two big, giant, nerds, often question the unavailability of other subjects in magic schools, such as math and science. Nat's parents signed her up for summer schools to enrich her in science and math each year. Nat didn't seem to mind for the first few years, but after a while, the overloading work and stress began to pile up.
For goodness sake- no, for Merlin's beard! Natalia was a witch now, and magic was her main priority. As much as Natalia adored muggle subjects, the summer schools would never get her far in the wizarding world. She tried to explain that to her parents, but it didn't work out so well.
Natalia was carrying her trunk, looking around the station. She felt terribly alone, a rare case for an independent figure like Natalia. She wanted to appear strong, but sometimes, she just can't stop craving for company.
She saw a younger girl, sitting alone nearby. Hurhur. Opportunity.
Natalia set her heavy drunk next to the girl and sat on it. She rested her chin on top of her hands in a lazy fashion.
"I'm bored..." Nat murmurs.
Just as Rowan was scanning the platform, looking for someone to go and introduce herself to, somebody sat down beside her! Luck! Already! The stones were working their magick.
"No no you can't be bored." Rusty said, tapping her toes on the ground.
"It's simply impossible. There's so much MAGIC everywhere. Don't you think that's just great?" Rowan did. And she was just LOVING the bustling activity and stuff, it was amazing how diverse the magical world seemed to be.
"My grammy says only boring people get bored and I bet you're not boring cause you're here and that means you can do magic and that's not boring even a little bit." Which made absolute sense, in Rowan's head.
"My name's Rusty." The little ginger girl beamed her biggest smile.
"And I'm never bored because there's always something to do if you look hard enough." At least that's what people had always told her back home when she couldn't find things to fill her time, and eventually she'd learned to do so.
