The potions book because he had seen Minjae brewing a couple since he became off age and he had found it fascinating to watch as he had brew. The transfiguration part was actually due to the description he had gotten of his wand. He still remembered the wand shopkeepers words clearly ‘Excellent for transfigurations and creature magic, and not suitable for dark magic.' *Excellent for transfigurations... A subject he had been eagerly wanting to learn ever since he found out that he was a wizard like his older brother.
As the compartment door opened up, Daniel placed a finger on the word in the book before looking up to see an older girl standing in the doorway. His eyes moved from her to his cat and then back at her with his eyebrow raised.
“In some cultures they’re actually a symbol of good luck and prosperity” he answered and gave a shrug of his shoulders. “Who are you anyway ?” and why was she already making assumptions of his black cat without even having met her yet?
When a kid around his own age moved past the girl to get further in to the compartment, Daniel focused his attention on him for a second before looking back over at the girl. “See, that is how you greet a cat” he grinned.
Alfie… Hadn’t he met a boy named Alfie before? He was definitely not the Alfie he had met in Diagon Alley though. ”I’m Daniel. You can both sit there if you want” honestly, the compartment was not his. Or was the girl too afraid? Quote:

That was the BETTER question because Kinz hadn't seen him around the castle before, which obviously meant, he was new.
Like this other kid who had just pushed past. Kiz hadn't seen him before either.
She wasn't going to follow him into the compartment though because she had other people to sit with. Less than last year (which she was trying not to think about), but she wouldn't want to sit with anyone else. Emm and Matty probably wouldn't like that very much... And neither would Kizzy. They were her people. She needed them. These kids also seemed younger (she could tell by the excitement) and Kinsay was a proper teenager who got invited to proper teenage parties now, so Emm probably wouldn't like it if she sat with younger students. So. Um. She really couldn't be sitting here even if she wanted to. Sorry. (She really was).
I'm Kinsay," she repeated herself for the benefit of Alfie, before she looked over at the cat again. For the record, she also thought it was cute! "I can't sit here because I have to find my friends," she replied honestly, but not unkindly. "Are you first years?" It was pretty obvious. They wouldn't be so happy to go to Hogwarts if they weren't. Kinsay sure didn't want to be back. Though, um, she didn't really have much of a choice.

And after last term, when they'd obviously been forced to teach them terrible things about muggles that weren't true at ALL, Adam was ready to learn more about actual MAGIC. Bring on the homework! He was ready!
Looking around the train for anywhere to sit - it was weird not having Leighton around to watch out for him - he stumbled across Kinsay, talking to some younger kids who were clearly first years. Aww, look at her making new friends with the kiddos! Adam was PROUD and very clearly delusional.
"Kinsay! Hey! Who are your new friends?" he asked with a grin as he barged in to the conversation. Alfie grinned at the other boy as he complimented his greeting to the cat. He hadn't shown up in time to hear what the other girl had said, but apparently it hadn't been proper. "Can I pet him? Or her?" How was he supposed to resist a cute kitty right there just waiting for head scratches.
He turned his attention to the girl when she introduced herself. "Hi Kinsay," he said with a smile. "Your hair looks like sunshine." Did she know that? It was yellow. Like dandelions. But some people didn't have an appreciation for dandelions, so he thought the comparison to the sun was safer. "I am a first year," he answered excitedly before turning to look at his new friend Daniel. "Are you a first year?" It was fun to make friends in the same year as him! He assumed that meant this girl, Kinsay, was not also a first year. He turned back to her. "What year are you?"
And then someone else was standing in the compartment door. If Alfie had been less extraverted he might have started to get overwhelmed, but actually he was quite excited to meet more people. "Hello. I'm Alfie!" |
