But before Skylar could inquire again about the autographed painting, the small boy (Aaron) was also being welcomed by Hattie and then there was Patrick back peeking in on compartments and some girl crashed into him??! Reflexes, the sixth year rose from her seat to poke her head out of the compartment.
"Patrick, Hi again! Did you find who you were looking for?" And concerned look at the small girl who claimed to be nervous cause she was new. Aww, wasn't she just precious?? Was Skylar that small and nervous as a first year? She couldn't remember.
"Hey, you can come in here, if you'd like? You're new, you said, Mara, right? You alright?" She glanced between the two young students. "I'm Skylar."
Before Mara could say something back to the boy, they seemed to have attracted the attention many students in one compartment. Many... students...
Hogwarts will be even worse! ,she recalled. Truthfully, she wasn't sure of why she was so nervous about meeting other students. She was more then used to being surrounded by... people.
"Thanks... Yes, Mara. I'm new..." She brought her hand to her chest, absentmindedly pointing at herself.
"Nice to meet you, Skylar." She looked over at the boy
"And you too, Patrick." she added.
"Thank you for your invitation, i would be delighted to join you all." Good... Nice pauses and breaths. You can do this! They're just people. Older, cooler people, but... people! Oh... Merlin.
With this, she entered the compartment and sat down.
The robes of the older girl also got her attention.
"You're from the snake house! I forgot.... Sly... something? Seems cool!" she shrugged.
"I actually don't know much about it." The firstie had done some reading on Hogwarts history before embarking on her adventure, but she had memorized the most random things.
"I wonder which house I'll be sorted into!" she exclaimed to no one in particular.

A weight had been lifted off the boy's shoulders, thank Merlin for that. Both of the two older girls seemed nice to let Aaron sit with them. Upon closer inspection of the one girl's uniform, Skylar's, it appeared to be as if she was the Captain of the Slytherin Quidditch team. That was certainly cool. "Whooooooaaaaaa. Are you captain of the Quidditch Team?" The firstie said in amazement.
Then there was the other girl, Harriet, She seemed to be super friendly too. Everything was going according too plan for the boy. He was making new friends, both first years and older students a like, he got his first ever wand which he proudly displayed in his holster around his hip. Hungarian Horn Tail skin, one of the better leathers from dragons. Aloud Aaron had said to the group, "So what year are you guys gonna be in?"
That's when two others had joined their presence. Looking over at the two he shot them a warm and radiant smile filled with happy and positive vibes."Hi! My name's Aaron! What are your names?" A then a small laugh came out.

Whipping his head around to make sure the person was alright he was treated with a little girl, staring straight at him. “Its okay that you bumped into me. It happens Mara.” He mumbled hoping that the little girl wouldn’t burst into tears... he didn’t do tears. He turned looking back into the compartment seeing Skylar and two others. He didn’t recognize the other but he looked to be a firstie since he was about the same age as him.
“Hi Harriet, Patrick.” He looked at the other boy noticing that his name was Aaron. He lifted his arm up, “Oh yeah. This thing was back somewhere in the back of the train because my older twin brothers thought it would be funny to do what my oldest brother did to them growing up.” He rolled his eyes annoyed by their behavior. “How’s it going in here?” He sat down waiting to see if Mara would join them or not.
There seemed to be a lot of introductions going around... There was Skylar, Patrick, Aaron and another girl.
"Hi, Aaron, I'm Mara!" she waved her hand slightly.
"Nice to meet you." She took an immediate liking to him as his radiant smile exhibited friendliness. She was actually quite unsure of who knew who by then, but figured she should just settle in and let their conversations flow... However, she was too curious and too chatty to just sit quietly. She listened to Patrick and replied:
"Oh, you have twin brothers? And an even older brother? Yikes...I don't think I want to ask what they did..." she said before she could stop herself.
"It must be hectic all the time at your place! I have three older siblings. It's chaos sometimes."
