Goddamn. This was the best day of Mituna's life, hands down. No contest. This shit was bananas. He grinned ear to ear as he shuffled down the aisle of the train, peeking into the windows to find an unoccupied room. It was proving harder than he imagined. He was nearly to the back of the car before he found a space that wasn't crowded with strangers, and he quickly claimed it as his own, scrambling through the door and shoving his bags up into the compartment above the seats.
"Fuck, finally," he huffed, plopping down onto the plush chair and closing his eyes. Even if it was the best day of his life, finally getting to go to Hogwarts, it had been the longest and most exhausting day as well. He just hoped that no one was going to barge into his space and keep him from enjoying the much deserved nap time he was preparing for.

Right on time the door opened and a girl stepped in.
Latula hadn't found an empty seat so far, everyone else already seemed to have friends, and she guessed it was because they knew each other growing up. Her mom told her all about Hogwarts and magic as soon as she could use 'accidental magic' and she got so excited when her letter came.
Not that she thought it wouldn't come, but...
Either way she was on the train, and her bag was heavy, and she finally found a car with only one other person in it. Awesome! She pushed up her glasses and opened up the door, "Hi!" This was the best way to introduce yourself. Don't knock and be as loud as possible. "Can I ride in here with you? All the other cars seem full and I really don't want to sit in someone's lap or something. That sounds really lame..." Latula grins at the stranger, wide and completely genuine.

Mituna bristled, bolting upright and glaring at the intruder through his strawberry blonde bangs. Too bad the expression was unseeable to the girl, except for the frown on his face. "Yeah. That'th kinda the idea I had, too. Thith plathe ith too damn crowded, and I wath about to take a nap, tho how about you go and..."
Huh. She had a really nice smile. Really nice everything, actually.
"...Jutht try to keep it down, okay?" he huffed, settling back in somewhat. As long as she stayed on her side, and nobody else came in, he guessed her company was okay. He pulled at the sleeves of his oversized yellow hoodie, covering up his hands before turning to prop his feet up on his seat.

Latula nodded, unsure as to why the stranger got pissed and then less pissed so quickly, but she wasn't going to argue it. "Wow," She grabs her luggage, putting it on the rack above her before turning around and plopping onto a seat across from him, "You use some bad words. Normally I only hear my parents say crap like that." A pause. "Although I guess my parents aren't here, so they won't be here to ride on my back about these things..."
She grins widely again, "I'm so pumped about this. No parents. Magic! It's gonna be hecka rad."
Yeah, she totally forgot about the whole keep-it-down thing. In her defense, though, she is an excited 11-year-old and they don't really remember shit.

Mituna couldn't help but smile slightly at her excitement, but he was still grappling to hold onto his grudge at having to share the space. "Yeah, I gueth tho," he agreed. "...Um...I'm Mituna, by the way. Thith ith gonna be my firtht year, too." He jolted and cursed under his breath as the train rocked forward suddenly, marking the very start of its long journey to Hogwarts.
Good. Nobody else was coming to join them. He could tolerate this pretty girl as long as she wasn't completely fucking irritating. So far, she seemed pretty cool. Even if she was loud.
"Tho...what'th your name?"

She would probably return the compliment about being pretty, even in her mind, if she could see the stranger - Mituna.
Although at the mention of his name she gave a sheepish smile. Right. That's what she forgot. "My name's Latula." She holds out her hand, leaning forward so he could reach it easily. The girl did have some semblance of manners. "Latula Pyrope! Do you know anyone who's gonna go here? I think my mom was talking about becoming a teacher here, but I don't know how serious she was on that, so..."
Her hand stays held out, waiting for him to grab it.

He took her hand hesitantly, gripping it with exaggerated strength. A good manly handshake. He felt like a moron immediately after he did it. He cleared his throat and blushed, quickly pulling his hand away and hiding it in his sleeve again.
"My uncle teacheth Athtronomy, but that'th it. I don't have any friendth here."
Wow. Smooth, Captor. Way to sound like a fucking loser. His blush grew somewhat, enough that even his messy hair couldn't hide the way his freckled cheeks glowed pink.

Latula just assumed the blush was from embarrassment rather than anything else and she sat back, shaking her head, "Nah, I don't have any friends either. We could be friends, if you want!" She grins, completely serious. "I want to be in Gryffindor! My mum was in it, and she's really great and talked about how great it was, and I'm going to be in it too! And you look like you wanna be in Hufflepuff, 'cause of the yellow, but that's cool too! We can be best friends in different houses and anyone who argues can suck it!!!"
So much energy. Latula might need to turn it down like 4 notches, but good luck on even suggesting that.

Mituna was left speechless, and that was one hell of a feat. He pushed his bangs aside to get a better look at her, clearing a view of his heterochromatic eyes in the process. After a moment, he composed himself enough to reply with a grumpy, "Holy shit, you're loud." As if he wasn't.
"And I don't know what houthe I wanna be in yet. I like Gryffindor, and Hufflepuff'th okay. I know I won't be in Ravenclaw, I'm not thmart enough. I really jutht know I don't wanna be in fucking Thlytherin." He wrinkled his nose at the thought, not trying in the slightest to hide his prejudice against that house. "...but...I gueth we can be friendth, if you wanna..."

Oh wow. Those were interesting eyes. For some reason Latula wanted to see them all the time.
She moves past that pretty quickly, "I like being loud." Not even phased by the comment.
"Anyway, Slytherin can't be that bad, right? I mean, snakes are rad!" And although this is true, that's not exactly how that works, "Also, by the way, I think your eyes are super awesome." She nods, they were so cool.

Well, the blush was back with a vengeance. He quickly looked down and pushed his bangs back over his eyes, pulling his beanie further down on his head and staring at his lap.
"...Thankth."
He was saved from further embarrassment by the sound of the trolley lady tapping on the door, then sliding it open with a smile. "Anything from the trolley, dears?" Hell fucking yes he'd have something from the trolley.
"Can I have two cauldron caketh, two chocolate frogth, and two Bertie Bott's beanth?" Had to be two. Always.
"Of course, sweetie. That's so nice of you to share with your little friend," she noted, giving them both a wink as she traded the sweets for Mituna's money.
Was he ever going to get rid of this goddamn blush?
"Hey, I'm not-! She'th not-! We...I..." He glanced over at Latula, fumbling over his words and falling quiet again at the sight of her smile. "...I gueth I can share...Do you want one...?"

Latula was jerked out of her thoughts by the door opening, and it was then that she realized that there was a world outside of them. Weird. Normally she paid more attention to her surroundings... Huh. She opened her mouth to order something but by the time she found the opportunity the door closed again. Oh.
Her own cheeks turned slightly pink at the assumption of the trolley lady, she looked back to Mituna, eyes flickering between the sweets in his hand and his own pink cheeks.
"Oh! Heck yeah! She didn't even give me time to make my own order, so sure! I can pay you back if you want!" Latula reaches in her bag for her coin purse, not really wanting to just take without giving in return.

"No, no, it'th cool. Really, I don't mind..." He forced a small, sheepish smile, dividing his sweets in half and handing one of each thing to her. "If your frog hath a card I don't have yet, can I have it, though? I kinda like collecting them." He opened up the package of his own chocolate frog, holding it tight to keep it from hopping away. "Do you have thtuff you like? Hobbieth and thtuff?"

Latula blinks and watches him handle the chocolate frog. "Well, I like to board." She had never had a chocolate frog before, and watching it wiggle in Mituna's hand. That was exciting , and Latula really wanted to open hers up. "And video games, of course. I'm the best girl I know in video games." She nods and grins, finally opening up the chocolate frog wrapper and blinking as the frog tries to hop away. She catches it in the air and shoves it in her mouth, grinning widely. Her card was Musidora Barkwith, and she passes it over, mouth still full of frog. |

He'd never heard of "boarding," but his face lit up at the mention of video games. He pocketed the card after a quick glance at it. He already had that one, but hey. He bought it, right? Grinning ear to ear, he leaned forward excitedly, his entire demeanor changing in an instant. "You play video gameth, too?! That'th tho cool! Which oneth are your favorite? I like the newetht in the Elite Auror therieth!" He pushed his beanie up slightly, peeking through his bangs and damn near bouncing in his seat with excitement. "It'th thooo good! Have you played it? The gameplay ith fucking incredible!"
