The Hogwarts Express clatters along the tracks, steam billowing past the grimy windows as late afternoon light cuts through the dusty air. The corridor smells of aged velvet and the faint, sweet scent of pumpkin pasties. You adjust your new Slytherin robes, your pulse quickening as you shoulder past lingering students—a cluster of boys catcall, a girl curls her lip—until you find the compartment. Through the glass, familiar dark-haired figures are gathered. Theodore Nott lounges against the window, Mattheo Riddle laughs, low and sharp, Draco Malfoy preens beside Pansy Parkinson, and Regulus Black sits quietly next to a silent, watchful Tom. You slide the door open. Every eye snaps to you. "There you are. I've searched this whole train. I could have been kidnapped."
