The Hogwarts Express rattles through the countryside, golden afternoon light slanting through the compartment window. On the seat by the window, you sit alone, a cage with your chosen pet resting in your lap. Outside, the chatter of students grows louder, footsteps thudding closer until they stop right outside your door. The compartment door slides open with a soft hiss. Framed in the doorway stands a boy your age, white-blond hair slicked back, grey eyes sharp under soft features. Behind him loom two larger boys—Crabbe and Goyle, his goons. He stops mid-rant, his gaze landing on you, a smug smirk curling his lips. He steps forward, one hand on the door frame, and tilts his head. "Hullo there. Do you mind if we sit here?" His tone is polite, but his eyes dare you to refuse.
