#OO9. friendship in progress

Sebastian peeked his head to look at his sister ❛❛Hey sis, could you close the door? I feel like we're too loud for the others❜❜

They giggled at his statement, though he wasn't really joking either, students might get annoyed by their loud voices.

❛❛Sure thing,❜❜ the said girl stood up from her seat to properly close it but was unfortunate enough to be able to get a piece or possibly the hem of a clothing of whoever person it is.

A girl shrieked causing them to wince and jump in surprise, followed by a sound of a piece of clothing getting teared apart. Evie knew how it happened and quickly opened the door only to be met by a blonde girl in her white shirt and skirt that had a clothing at the top of the skirt that was quite long.

The blonde girl looked upset and frustrated together with a girl a bit taller than Evie's height who was a redhead who seemed to be in shock.

❛❛You ugly prat, you ruined my skirt!❜❜ shrieked the blonde girl as she pulled the extra clothing of her skirt.

❛❛I-i'm sorry, I didn't mean to—❜❜

Looking through Evie, the blonde girl clicked her tongue ❛❛Are you even aware that this department isn't for the first years?❜❜

Evie blinked ❛❛Pardon?❜❜

Bianca and the others who Evie shared with a cabin came out, raising a curious brow ❛❛She already said sorry, River.❜❜ Bianca glared at the blonde girl.

❛❛I don't even think it's Evie's fault.❜❜ Said Addison, arms crossed in front her chest ❛❛I'm just saying, who would wear that kind of clothes on their way to school? Are you sure you're not over dressed, River?❜❜

At this moment, students had gone out from their cabins and seat as they stood there watching the scene unfold, anticipating to what might happen next.

River had her mouth agape in disbelief ❛❛Excuse me?❜❜

Sebastian and Ivan being them, made way and motioned their hands towards the other direction, which was behind ❛❛You're excused, Miss Young❜❜

Some students who were watching was heard laughing, murmuring and giggling over the scene which even annoyed River more.

The red head behind the blonde girl took a hold of the blonde girl but of course she shook it off and told her that she wasn't gonna back up just yet ❛❛It's called fashion, just so you know, Dixon.❜❜ she gritted her teeth in annoyance ❛❛Besides, Don't you think it's the reason why Jayles—❜❜

❛❛You're even dumber that you can't say my surname properly❜❜ Bianca hissed

❛❛WHATEVER— she's wearing a thick leather jacket when it's quite clear that it's a bit hot in here❜❜ she pointed at Bianca.

Bianca rolled her eyes ❛❛I'm cold you dumb-witted prat.❜❜ she responded ❛❛At least I'm well aware of wearing appropriate clothes as I am on my way to school and not like someone who's heading to a party.❜❜ she retorted back.

How childish, Phil thought as he silently watched the scene unfold in front of him, actually enjoying it but seeing that they had caught plenty of attention he had to stop them.

❛❛Come on, let her be. You shouldn't be wasting your time arguing with a very silly matter.❜❜ Phil spoke firmly, successfully catching their attention.

Sebastian nodded his head ❛❛I must agree, let's not waste our time with her. Let's go in.❜❜

Addison had a smile on her face and patted River's shoulder ❛❛It was fun annoying you.❜❜ she told her before following the others inside their shared cabin.

The blonde girl continued to glare at Addison as she watched her enter their cabin, soon enough her deadly glare landed on Evie who was still standing in front of her while Phil stood there waiting for Evie.

❛❛I-i'm really sorry for what happened..❜❜ she apologized.

River scowled ❛❛Wait till my—❜❜

❛❛Till what, Rive? Till your parents hears about this? Grow up will you.❜❜ Phil interrupted in his usual cold voice and pulled Evie back inside their shared cabin before closing the door shut.

River came from a well known family of rich witches and wizards which many believed that she's a relative of the Malfoys. Everyone Pretty much knows how much of prick and spoiled brat River is, it's like with a snap of her fingers she could get anything she wants.

❛❛What do you think you're looking at you ignorants?!❜❜ she yelled, while the other students was heard hissing and still laughing at her. she rolled her eyes and dusted herself ❛❛Melanie, the door.❜❜ she commanded.

The redhead hesitantly smiled ❛❛It's right over there!❜❜ Melanie exclaimed enthusiastically.

River rolled her eyes before glaring at the red head ❛❛Open. It.❜❜

Oh, right, of course, you're such an idiot, Melanie told herself and gulped down her saliva harshly before flashing an apologetic smile ❛❛A-ah, yes!❜❜

Hearing their conversation, they couldn't help but laugh. River and Melanie are probably just seated next next door.

❛❛I seriously can't with her! Is H-A-L-E-S that hard to read?❜❜ Bianca ranted which only caused them to giggle.

well, except for Evie's who's looking quite down.

This time, Ivan and Addison switched seats since she wanted to easily comfort the girl if needed. At this moment, that comfort is needed.

Evie's necklace glowed and sparked up as it continuously gave warmth to Evie. She's only on the train but she's already causing such trouble and mess especially to these people with her, what a great person you are, Evie thought to herself.

Sighing, Addison placed a hand on top of Evie's ❛❛Hey❜❜ she called out with a soft voice that most of them rarely hears.

Evie looked up to the brunette with a small smile ❛❛Yes?❜❜

Addison smiled back ❛❛Don't think about what happened earlier, it wasn't mainly your fault.❜❜ she explained.

❛❛I agree. Besides, it's wasn't intentional and you weren't really the one who planned for her to wear that❜❜ Ivan chuckled.

Evie pursed her lips into a thin line before giggling ❛❛Yeah, I suppose that does makes sense.❜❜

❛❛You got something to ask, mate?❜❜ Sebastian raised a brow at Phil who had a questioning look plastered on his face.

They had already diverted their attention to Phil, because of curiosity.

Phil nodded his head ❛❛Ah, yes, well❜❜ he took a glance at them before pointing at the beverages that stood at the small table ❛❛What kind of weirdly pleasing drinks are these?❜❜

❛❛Muggle beverages, from Starbucks❜❜ Addison answered with a grin ❛❛Heard they taste really good.❜❜

❛❛That would depend on your taste buds❜❜ Bianca chuckled ❛❛Sebastian, could you pass me mine?❜❜ She requested, pointing a finger at her purple pink drink.

❛❛Here you go,❜❜ Sebastian murmured as he passed the purple drink to the red head girl ❛��Go ahead, chose for your selves❜❜ he grinned.

Addison smirked at her cousin ❛❛I bet you're getting that pink one because it has strawberries❜❜

❛❛I bet you're going to get drink that reminds you of sunset❜❜ Phil fired back causing Addison to stick her tongue out at him which they only laughed at.

Everyone started to pick what they felt pleasing for their selves, well except for Evie who waited for them to finish, thinking to just drink the beverage that's left; Phil took the pink drink, Addison took the strawberry mango one, Sebastian had the Juniper Lemonade, Bianca ( like said earlier ) had the purple pink drink and Ivan had the Pumpkin chocolate chip frap.

Evie was fortunate enough to have not been left with the one Ivan has since she doesn't really fancy that kind of drink. She felt happy to have her favorite one, Mocha frap.

Snaping from her thoughts she shrieked ❛❛Wait!❜❜ they were surprised by her that they flinched.

They raised a brow in confusion as they watched her reach for whatever she's looking for at her bag

❛❛What a very cute camera you have there❜❜ Addison complimented, their eyes fixed on the instax camera Evie has on her grip.

❛❛Let's take our first pictures!❜❜ she exclaimed in excitement, everyone exchanged looks but agreed nonetheless ❛❛Okay so, I'd like you guys to hold your drinks in the middle, like in a circle.❜❜

They did as told and held their drinks in the middle of them, eyes taking glances at Evie who was looking for a right angle to capture.

Evie grinned ❛❛Okay, don't move for a moment❜❜ the next thing they know, light came flashing from the camera. And the picture has been taken ❛❛Here, have a look❜❜ she grinned in satisfaction.

They huddled up, smiles appearing in their faces as they looked at the picture ❛❛That's adorable!❜❜ said Bianca.

Phil laughed ❛❛Look at how small that hand is❜❜

❛❛Hey!❜❜ Evie responded, they laughed.

The teenagers continued to talk for some time and took two group pictures before finally deciding to change into their robes. The girls changed first while the boys stood outside their shared cabin waiting which took about ten minutes until it was finally their turn.

After some time, the train came to halt as its whistle then ringed indicating them that had arrived at their destination.

Evie had her trunk and her and hopped down from train which almost made her lose balance from holding a heavy trunk.

❛❛Woaw— careful❜❜ Addison smiled holding her in place, trying to stop her from falling down.

Looking down at Evie, Ivan spoke ❛❛Fancy telling me how much clumsier you can get, aye shorty?❜❜

❛❛Ha-ha-ha❜❜ Evie laughed sarcastically, causing Ivan to laugh at how annoyed she looked.

❛❛Hey, I just found out something❜❜ Phil announced, all of then had finally hopped out from the train.

Questioning looks was plastered on their faces ❛❛Oh, yeah?❜❜ Bianca raised a brow.

❛❛About what?❜❜ Sebastian asked, placing his trunk along with the others to a carriage.

Phil shrugged his shoulders ❛❛Something about why small people get mad easily❜❜ he smiled cheekily.

Evie groaned, they have been teasing her about how small she is after they took their pictures.

They laughed, anticipating to what's gonna be said next ❛❛Let's hear it then❜❜ Addison giggled.

Closing the book, they laughed at his extra self ❛❛Apparently blood rushes towards the head, and since blood easily reaches the top of those who are small—❜❜

For a guy who looks quite intimidating, cold and all, Phil sure has a side that can make you question if it's actually him you're talking too. He probably had already felt comfortable them. Never judge a book by it's cover; she'll make sure to keep that in mind because apparently she felt scared of him at her first glance at him.

❛❛Lord, please save me from these bad and mean people❜❜ Evie clasped her hands together, frowning.

They all laughed at her behavior.

Maybe this interaction of them is really going somewhere. Hopefully.

Soon enough the place had gotten packed, they stood at the side waiting for whoever professor is assigned to pick the transferees.

❛❛How about we talk during the feast?❜❜ Bianca suggested, pulling her hair into a bun.

Sebastian nodded his head in approval ❛❛Sure, but which table are we going to huddle up?❜❜ he asked.

Addison pursed her lips for a moment ❛❛Let's go for which table Evie would be belong to, since I don't think Evie is that brave yet to approach us first❜❜ Ivan nodded his head in approval of Addison's word

❛❛Transferees, please line up and follow me!❜❜ a tall thin guy with platinum hair and fair skin came to sight.

Just in time, carriages for second levels and above came. Evie hanged her bag around her shoulders and stood up from the bench just like the others.

Ivan patted Evie's shoulder before bidding a goodbye at her ❛❛See you at the castle.❜❜ Sebastian said before following the others behind.

Heaving a sigh, Evie went to the other way were first years and transferees were.

❛❛First years, follow Professor Netting! Transferees, please follow me!❜❜ the guy with platinum hair announced as then Evie lined up with the students following the tall man.
