Second Year

(Y/n)'s P.o.V


BACK AT IT AGAIN WITH THE TRAINS! Why so we have to go out so early? I mean, honestly. You ask someone to go to school and you put them at gun point if you don't get up at the buttcrack of dawn.


"Is everything alright, (Y/n)?" Mum asks putting her hand on my thigh for reassurance. "Yes..." I answered almost slurring on my word. " 'm just... Tired I guess." I added resting my back on the backrest. I heard mum hum, taking back her hand. "Close your eyes for now. We're close to the station, you can get some shut eye there okay honey?"


Mum then pulled me close allowing me to rest on her shoulder. I slowly nodded and did as told. I closed my eyes. I almost fell asleep but the car came to a halt. Letting out a groan a sat up straight and let out a yawn. We got out of the car and there I stretched my arms with some satisfying pops.


Dad called me over to help him get all my belongings out of the trunk and onto the trolley. When we finished we immediately made our way in the station. It wasn't as packed as I thought it would be. Considering it is really early in the morning so I guess it would make sense? I don't know, my brain's too tired to work. Granted it doesn't really work anytime I want it to work.


Getting in the train was a breeze. I was able to meet up with Sylvia who was standing outside a compartment already. She had her arms crossed as she talked to someone inside the compartment. "Sylv!" I called out. The ravenette swiftly turned around and let out a sigh and a smile.  She gave m a small wave. A head then poked through the compartment and it was Kazzandra. The Ravenclaw brightened up ands squeezed through Sylvia and other students making their way to their own groups.


"(Y/n)!" I smiled at her, putting a hand on her shoulder. "Hey, Kazz." I greeted her. She began to bounce happily and her grin widening. "What's gotten you so exited?" I asked taking my hand away from her. I looked passed her and there was someone behind her. They had blond hair and blue eyes. "Who's this?" I asked.


"Her "daughter'" Sylvia groaned, quoting the word "daughter". I raised a brow and pushed the Ravenclaw aside. "Hey-" Kazz whined frowning at me. "What's your name?" I asked the blond. "I'm Luna, nice to meet you." Luna smiled. Handing out her hand. I grabbed on it and shook it. "(Y/n), pleasure's all mine."


Luna wore a dark blue vest and under it was a white button up long sleeve shirt, she also wore a skirt the went down her knees. And her shoes were a pair of pink converse with flowers printed on them. (A/n: this book's filled with converse... Sorry bout that-)


We then headed back inside the compartment. I sat near the door and across me was- you guessed it, the infamous Ravenclaw herself, Kazzandra. It didn't take long for Finnian to arrive. He had some trouble finding us, but thankfully he was able to. The Hufflepuff asked about Luna, who then introduced herself to him. Finnian welcomed her and then sat next to me.


I was trying to get some shut-eye, but me being me, decided to go against my plan to sleep and instead allowed myself to suffer by waiting a whole day of just sitting in one place as my body cries and beg for some rest. I noticed that Kazzandra was reading a book about mythical creatures. "Hey guys?" She spoke, her eyes scouring the page intently, not taker her attention away from the book. "How likely would it be for a vampire to be at hogwarts?" She finished, finally looking at us. "What?" I asked, trying to process what she just said. "How likely-"


"I heard what you said-" I cut her off. "What I meant was- why'd you ask all the sudden?" Kazzandra then showed me the page she was on and it was about vampires. "It's in this book. I was reading about them." She explained, turning the book around once again. "It could be possible." Sylvia piped her eyes drifting towards us. "I mean, they exist- so it wouldn't be much of a stretch if they were able to." She added with a shrug.


"Also- that's a stupid question, Kazz." Finnian voiced as he took a book out of his bag. "We already have ghosts, sentient paintings, a huge arse squid, etcetera. Why would it be a surprise that a vampire secretly goes to Hogwarts."


The Ravenclaw's eyes widen. "You wanna hunt them down?" I asked sarcastically. "Heck yeah!" We all laughed at her enthusiasm. "But just imagine if there really was though." I suggested raising a brow at the group. "How'd you think they'd look like?"


"They would most like be attractive-" Sylvia said. "Probably pale..." Finnian added. "Oh- oh! Maybe they're-" Kazzandra stopped as she looked out of the compartment. "Hey Cedric!" Kazzandra waved with a smile. Our eyes followed hers and there stood the said Hufflepuff.


Cedric waved back at the brunette bore his eyes travelled to mine. His smile widens and waved at me as well. I slowly raised my hands and waved it. "Hey, (L/n). Long time no see."


Shit, he remembers my name?


I let out a nervous chuckle "Yeah, how have you been?" I asked with a bit of hesitance. "I'm doing well, actually." He answered. Cedric then got called by his friends, he bid his goodbye. "Someone looks a bit red." Finnian noted, peeking out of his book. Sylvia and Kazzandra "Oooh'ed" whilst Luna just stared at us in confusion.


"Shut it! I'm gonna go get some sleep- do NOT bother me." I said harshly, pulling myself to a corner and hugging myself. A frown forming on face. The three laughed at my reaction  and apologized profusely. I stayed still, but I slowly began to smile. At least they get along better now.

Finally, the train had stopped, we changed into our uniforms. Students piled out of train and onto the small boats and into the halls. The same old routine.


Once we arrived in the Great Hall, we sat in our tables. The new students got sorted to their houses. A new Weasley made it to Gryffindor, her name is Ginny and she seems nice. Enough about that- I just want to go to bed. And I'll finally have some roommates. Sad they'll probably be first years. I began to look around and noticed Harry and Ron wasn't around. "Mione?" I leaned towards the bushy haired witch, who hummed in response. "Where are Potter and Weasley?" I queried catching Granger's full attention. "I have no idea... I didn't see them in the train." She answered scratching the back if her head.


After dinner, we were escorted to our dorms by our prefects. When we reached the common room, second years and above were allowed to go ahead and go to their rooms, and when I arrived to mine, the other beds were finally used once again.


Shortly after I changed into my pajamas, three students entered the room. Two being first years and the one turns out to be another second year who decided to move dorms since they did not like their previous roommates.


One of the first year was named Colin Creevey, he seems to really like photography since he had shown us some of his works. The other first year was Simon McPherson "Are you related to Finnian?" I asked tilting my head to te side. "Oh, Spencer? Yup! He's my older brother." Simon smirked, scratching the back of his head. He did look a bit like Finnian.  Pointy ears, and freckled face. His hair was a similar blueish-black color but was a bit lighter. Wait- "Spencer?"


"He has a second name?" Simon snickered then nodded. That guy never told me- "oh I'm gonna have lots of fun with that information." We then turned to the other second year. "And what's your name?" I asked politely. "Winston Craig- and I am tired as heck..." He yawned "sorry about that... I think I ate way to much tonight... Imma go change my clothes now..." He then turned around and got his pajamas. I just shrugged told the others I was gonna go get some shut eye. They said goodnight and began to unpack their items.


I stared out the window and watched the stars twinkle in the night sky. My head drifting into space as random thoughts floated in my mind. Eventually, my eyes began to flutter shut.

Haloo-


So... I realized I've only updated 4 times during quarantine... And I am disappointed in myself for that- like 160+ days and i was only able to pit out 4 chapters? Kinda sad for me.


Anyway. Thank you for reading chapter 31 of What Is This Feeling. As I write this, i'm wondering if I should do a Q&A,,, but I'm not sure... (Would y'all like that?)


That'd be all for today, DRAKOFIST OUTS-
