Wait. She could have enemies at Hogwarts this early. She shivered at the thought of having people hate her already. She did not like the idea of that at all. Not one bit.

Charlie left the door cracked as the moved further into the compartment. Maybe the food trolley would make its way back through the middle cars and she could finally ask for some snacks. But for the life of her, she couldn't remember her compartment companion's name. "Hate to be that person," but did she really hate to be that person? She was pretty sure that she was exactly that person. "Don't know that I remember your name from Florean's..." she trailed off hoping that maybe the girl just misunderstood her attitude. Her pops always did say she would get in trouble with it.
Once inside the compartment, Catherine put her belongings in a corner and checked from the corner of her eye to see where Charlie was as the girl pretty much asked her name. Catherine clearly remembered they didn't exchange names at all in Diagon Alley, and this girl must remember that fact too. Hopefully Charlie was just trying to be polite. Catherine couldn't exactly pick up any slyness in her tone. Maybe she should take her mother's advice and give people the benefit of the doubt. It seemed okay to do so in this situation.

"Catherine." She replied in a low tone, not exactly looking at the girl. The young brunette gingerly took the seat nearest the window, so at least she could distract herself with the views if it all became unbearably awkward. "...Mordaunt. First year." She added just because. Maybe Charlie was going to be a second year instead and there would be no need to be forcibly socialising.

That was how schools worked, wasn't it? Students stayed in age groups. Catherine assumed at Hogwarts that would include both age and house groups, which meant she would have absolutely no friends with her because Cecelia was already in a different year and house, and there was no way in the world Noah would ever be in the same house as her. She was doomed to be on her own until she graduated. What an awful thought.

Not because she wanted new friends, but because she wouldn't be able to spend time with her people. Truly awful indeed. The thought alone was making her feel sick to her stomach.
