Something was wrong, he could tell. Why were her relatives wearing black?

Ducking his head to get away from his papa’s kiss, Jace snatched the pack of wet towelettes from his mama, and ran for the train door. They have smothered him enough to last the whole term, so it was all good.

With dishevelled hair, creased clothes, and a look on his face that said T I R E D all over, Jace paced the whole stretch of the train, wondering where Azura had left off. Taking a wild turn for the front car, the second year Ravenclaw peeked through different compartment doors until he saw a lone girl...who looked as awful as him. Sliding the door open, Jace stood on the spot for a moment, and wondered what happened to his best friend. Something was definitely amiss. “Ohayo, Azura-san.”
