Victoria had managed to drag her trunk herself to the middle compartments. She had found the first ones to be far too crowded, and didn't feel much like embaressing herself any with struggling to carry the trunk much further. So the first year slipped into an empty compartment, stowed it in the luggage rack, and sat. Her ice blue eyes fixed themselves lazily on the window, watching the outside. It was far more interesting than anything else that was happening.
Though before even a few seconds had passed, the girl was starting to feel slightly isolated. From her compartment, she could hardly see anyone else. It kept her from observing others from afar, and she generally had to have at least someone to speak to when she wasn't people-watching. So the dark haired girl stood again and exited, leaving her trunk right where it was. Walking back a few compartments, she found two girls and a kitten. The girls looked to be in about their third year, one Slytherin and one Hufflepuff. And the kitten...well, she had to admit, it was cute.
Victoria rapped lightly on the door of the other girls' compartment and slid it open, mustering the best smile she could. If she wanted some company, she'd have to be nice a while. "Hello, do you mind if I sit here?" she asked them. Mentally, she was cursing the fact it was her first year, she knew no one, and she'd stooped to the point of talking to random strangers to avoid feeling isolated. But she did her best to keep these thoughts from showing themselves on her face as she waited for an answer from one of the two girls. |
