30 the day where everything had started (1/2)
Not too long after the surprising courteous visit of Malfoy, someone knocks on the door. Surprised by the sudden noise, Alex raised his head.
”Enter.”
Behind the door was a redhead, little girl. Judging by her black robe, she, like them was a first-year to be sorted. When he sees those red hairs of similar color that he, Alex immediately know who she was.
”Hello, can I sit here?” Say the girl looking at Hermione, who look at Alex in the corner of her eyes, she capt a barely perceptible nod from him.
Sitting a little farther from Alex, and directly facing Hermione, she gives her a rapid look over.
”I'm Susan Bones.” Say her, smiling sweetly at the brunette, who responds in kind.
”I'm Hermione Granger.”
”Are you perhaps a muggle-born?” Hearing the two, Alex couldn't help but cringe a little, it was evident was the little girl wanted but didn't know how to bring up the topic, fidgeting uncomfortably. If she sees it, Hermione didn't say anything and respond.
”Yes.” Trying to smile, making him shake his head at the shyness of the little girl while keeping an eye on the redhead on his side. Even if she was just a little girl, she was raised by a witch who was familiar with the political arena. He could only think of a reason why it is her that came.
”I came from a wizard family and some friends have been going to the other first-year muggle born to explain to them something, do you want to come?” When she heard that only she was invited, she turns her head to Alex.
”Can he come to?” Still keeping an eye on her while reading his book, he sees the sour expressions that mare the little girl face when she hears her, the message was clear, she was told to not take him in, confirming that she was of this sorry excuse of political gameplay by adults through their children.
”Don't mind me, I prefer to read my book, I don't have time to lost whit minions and morons.” I blunt words and insult clearly didn't please the little girl, seeing her furious face, but she says nothing and drag Hermione out of there.
Since she lost her scratching slave, Skadi jump of the seat and return to her companion, making her way in his hood and fall asleep not too long after.
”Those kids are so easy that boring.”
-Well, they are eleven years old, what did you expect?-
”I know, but still, not older year other than this asshole? And it's only because I knock off the little bitch and her butt plugs.”
-It's me or your language became worst every passing hour?-
”We will live for the few next years with those little shit, I prefer to start now that slowly build up.”
-True.-
While the two were complaining about the incoming headache, a little bell resound on the outside of his door. Raising for his seat, he came opening it and see the trail lady coming from the same way of Draco before. Before she could speak, the lady was slightly perturbed by the crazy glint and the maniacal smile slowly making his way on his face, that would have made a certain grey and blue cat ( I prefer this version that of the pink and purple one of Cheshire cat.), worrying her greatly. He returns to his trunk and opens it before taking a purse with him to her.
”Lady, how much for the entire trail minus the pumpkin juice.” She froze a second before looking worryingly at him.
”Are you sure sweety, it won't be cheap, don't you want to keep some money for the year?”
”It alright Lady, I have some tens of Galleon left from the Alley, and this way you can rest until we arrive.” Say him with a sincere bright smile.
At first, she was worried that he would spend all his money but seeing the amount of gold coin in the purse, she smiles warmly at him, even more, when he was taking from her the burden to go to the rest of the train to sell her goods.
”Alright, sweety.” With a decade of experience, she rapidly goes through her entire stock of good, unloading them at the same time on the nearest seat while counting.
Four minutes later, the door closed as the lady turn around and his purse lighter of ten Galleon and three sickle. A second later, everything vanishes and organizes itself in his storage, leaving him with three fudge flies pack and two sherbet lemon, while reading his book.
As the hour's pass, Hermione returns only half an hour before they arrive to change in her robe. seeing her sour face, he sees that she didn't like what she heard.
”So, how was it?”
”I can't believe it! Did they take us for morons?!”
Hearing her outburn, he was surprised, until she rent how about they have to say that they need to be united again the old family because they wanted to control them and only them could protect them. At first, it wasn't extravagant but the more she goes on the more he frown. The entire reunion has turned on a single subject, that James Potter was the champion of Muggle-Born, that they must follow him because he was the Boy-Who-Lived and they were only safe because he rid the world of the evil and when he would be Lord, give them the best place. He, who didn't have knowledge of the mundane world, even with a mother coming from this site, says that he understands them and will protect them for their worship. When she was done, fifteen minutes later, he exits the compartment to let her cool down and chang herself.
”So let me see if I'm right. The git wants your pledge in order to protect you, and the more you worship him the better the place he would give you in the wizarding world?” Seeing he nod he couldn't help but facepalm.
”How his he different that Voldemort when he recruits for minions and promises power for those who follow him? At least, Moldyshort was magically powerful. How much have seen through Hitler in making?”
