It was the 1st of September, meaning different things to different people. But for Aurora Mckinnon, it meant going to Hogwarts. With everything packed, she walked downstairs and announced that she was ready to go. Despite living in Hogsmeade, her adoptive mother, Sophia decided it was better for her to travel with the Hogwarts Express and make some friends on the ride, she would regret that decision later.

The king's cross station was crowded with both muggles and wizards, well mostly muggles. Sophia, Edward and Aurora were walking towards the brick wall that said 9 and 10, but the ticket said that the train was on the platform 9 ¾. She looked at Sophia with the are-you-kidding-me look yet she just motioned towards the brick wall. Aurora being herself clinched on her trolley tightly and ran through the wall. If it was any other 12-year-old they would ask exactly how to get to the train, but not Ary.

Opening her eyes, the blonde was met with the most stunning train she had ever seen, well she had seen Hogwarts that's why she couldn't call the platform the most stunning. It seemed that Sophia and Edward didn't bother to come on the other side, or it was simply Edwards phobias.

Walking through the hall of the Hogwarts express was an experience that Aurora thought one day she would tell her grandkids about. After successfully finding an empty compartment, she settled her truck and sat down by the window, tucking her feet underneath. Then she took out a book and started reading it, well pretending to read it. Aurora thought that the first impressions were important and that she wasn't going to call the headmaster a manikin like she did at the Beauxbatons.

After the most boring fifteen minutes of Aurora's life had gone (because staring at the book about goblins wasn't her ideal concept of spending her free time), the compartment door slid open, revealing redheaded girl who seemed to be her age. Aurora assumed that she was one of the Weasley, correction Aurora knew that she was one of the Weasley, having seen her in the Diagon alley several times.

"Mind if I sit here, Ary?" the girl asked and sat on the opposite sit.

"You know the answer don't you?" responded Aurora and went back at staring at the book and trying to keep her face straight from the thought of her master plan. So, having a book wasn't only for the first impressions, she was going to use it as a weapon if some of the assholes (like Crabbe and Goyle, she had met them in the Gringotts) decided to torment her and to hide her face if some unwanted people came in.

"By the way, your book is upside down."
