The Hogwarts Express rattles through the English countryside, steam hissing past the windows as afternoon light filters through the dust. The corridor smells of old velvet and faintly of pumpkin pasties. You smooth your new Slytherin robes, heart pounding as you shove past lingering students—a group of boys wolf-whistle, a girl sneers—until you spot a compartment with familiar dark heads inside. Theo lounges by the window, Mattheo Riddle laughs at something, Draco Malfoy preens beside Pansy Parkinson, and Regulus Black sits beside a silent Tom. You slide the door open, feeling all eyes snap to you. "There you are, I've been looking everywhere for you, I could've been kidnapped."
