Athena was always early when it came to boarding the Hogwarts Express, but today she was running late, very late indeed much to her dismay. Looking at the clock she seen that it read 10:30 she didn't have much time to get to the platform before the train left. She couldn't believe that she slept through her alarm, maybe she shouldn't had stayed up late last night reading her books. Reaching the platform, she ran through it as she quickly packed her trunk and Polaris in the luggage compartment as she quickly boarded the train. Usually she was already on the train with her brother, but not today, now she was going to be like the people ahead of her trying to find a empty compartment.
As she set on board of the Hogwarts Express, she walked down the long corridor trying to find a empty compartment, but she didn't see any. Maybe the middle of the train would have some, but who was she kidding, the middle was the most popular place to sit on the train. Although Athena didn't stop looking, there had to be a place somewhere on the train! As Athena peered into one, she seen that a girl was in there sitting alone. " Um...hi...you don't mind if I join you do you? Everywhere is full. " said Athena shyly.
Athena was determined to make some friends this year and get out of her shyness stage, she just hoped that this year would be the year, she been telling herself for years that she would and it hasn't happened. Athena noticed that she was reading witch weekly, a magazine as Athena called it that her mother reads all the time. It was like a fashion wizard magazine Athena suppose, she never read it, but she seen it. " Anything interesting in there? "Athena asked her softly but curiously looking at the cover.
'Five quick and easy spells for every girl needs! ' Athena read to herself. 'Let me guess hair styling spell, glamor spell, and some other spells with clothes and stuff? 'Athena thought to herself. Athena didn't read fashion magazines or anything, in her opinion they were quite silly, she couldn't believe that some girls follow that stuff. Athena seen that she was reading Horoscopes and must be reading her own, she was curious about what her said.
" Just out of curiosity, what does it say about a Scorpio?" Athena asked her softly but curiously. " Hopefully no more bad luck, I had enough of that this morning, I'm usually never this late! "said Athena. " Oh so rude of me, I'm Athena, Athena Abercrombie fourth year Gryffindor. " said Athena shyly.
