Thread: Hogwarts Horror Stories. (Malin & Darkangel76)

Yes, the train seems especially bumpy this year, Felicity stated as she rubbed at her backside and sat herself back down. She reached for her robes and situated them back around her slim shoulders, letting out a whimpering sigh as she did so. Mm, much better, she whispered mostly to herself. The train seemed to lurch a few more times as it sped along the tracks, rain pelting hard against the window as the sky remained dark and ominous overhead. Felicity peered outside for a moment, wondering if it was merely the rain that was giving the train issue or if perhaps the track was just finally needing some repair. Either way, she had no doubt the Ministry would be receiving word and any problems would be dealt with in short order. Things in the magical world usually were. It was something that still astounded her despite things, but then she wondered if perhaps part of that was due to growing up in a world full of muggles, knowing she somehow didn't belong. It wasn't until that fateful day when she'd received that letter that she had confirmation that all her speculations had been true. She was different, far more different than she'd even dared herself to imagine! I've no doubt you'll be fine, Felicity said reassuringly. She wasn't sure how well Simon would be able to teach her about the more advanced bits of Transfiguration. But she was a quick study and found herself hopeful that some one on one time with an actual licensed animagus might actually make a difference. It was worth a try at least. She smiled at his further comments, but waved them off. Oh, don't worry. I honestly don't mind, she added. It'll be a good review for me. After all, we have our O.W.L.s at the end of the year. So, anything that'll help toward achieving Os in that is something I'll take on. She laughed a little and reached up a hand to cover her mouth. Felicity tried to think on which classes she and Simon had shared together in the past, but it was hard to say exactly. She definitely recalled his face and was certain that Potions was not one of the classes they'd sharedsince she recalled everyone she's shared a Potions class withbut still, she knew they'd had at least one or so. But, no matter. They were talking now and had Ancient Runes to look forward to, no doubt she'd be helping him with that as well. Perhaps they'd even become partners should projects be given their way. But for now, she'd assist as needed. Just then, the door to their compartment slid open. Felicity turned her head to see the trolley full of sweets displayed before them and smiled. She looked over at Simon who seemed to be rummaging for something, no doubt his money. She smiled inwardly as he desperately searched. Without further hesitation, she reached for her enchanted bag and reached inside easily finding her stash of galleons, sickles and knuts, which she'd had converted prior to arriving at the station and before her parents' car had gotten its flat. I'll definitely want something, Felicity stated with a shy smile. Just then her tummy rumbled. Her cheeks reddened and she patted her tummy gently as she took a small handful of galleons and handed them to the witch at the trolley. She gave her a smile. I'd love some licorice whips, please. Oh and some chocolate frogs. She turned to look at Simon and blushed. I... I collect the cards, she admitted sheepishly. Looking back at the witch and the trolley, she tapped at her chin contemplatively. And anything he wants too, she added as she handed her money over for the sweets. Felicity looked over at Simon, unsure if he'd found what he was looking for or notthough she was fairly sure it was his wallet. She smiled sweetly and gestured he choose something from the trolley before the witch moved on to the next compartment.
