Aelin's POV -

Arriving at Platform 9 3/4, Aelin couldn't believe that the day had finally come. Ever since Aedion got his letter two years ago, Aelin had been dreaming about going to Hogwarts, counting down the days until her letter would arrive. It had been 3 years since her parents' death and Aelin was grateful that she had Aedion by her side to help her through this next part of her life, as without her parents by her side, Aelin had to admit that she was nervous. Her mother and father had both been to Hogwarts and the thought of entering a school filled with memories of her late parents scared her immensely.

"Aelin hurry up!" Aedion yelled. "The train will be leaving soon and I need to find Ren!"

Ren Allsbrook was Aedion's best friend at Hogwarts and the two were constantly getting into all sorts of mischief. Aelin liked Ren, although sometimes she found him annoying and him and Aedion were always using the fact that they were two years older to win arguments or prove why she couldn't do certain things with them. That would all change now that she was at Hogwarts though; this was her chance to establish herself and not just be 'Aedion's little cousin', but Aelin Ashryver Galathynius, a bright young witch, set to take on the world. Yeah it was a little cheesy, but hey, it was true!

"Coming Aedion, yeesh!" Aelin mumbled, before hauling over her bags and attempting to find Aedion in the crowd.

It was just at that moment that a figure crashed into Aelin, knocking her stuff out of her hands and throwing her onto the floor. Aelin looked up to see a tall, handsome boy before her, with silver short-cut hair and piercing, emerald-green eyes, glaring down at her.

Aelin was about to apologise for not looking where she was going, but one look at the the sneer on the boy's face made her swallow her apology, instead opting for a single raised eyebrow and a challenging stare. Something about this boy got on her nerves and although she couldn't exactly pinpoint what it was about him that she didn't like, she knew that nothing good would come out of this encounter.

"Watch it first year", the boy snarled before kicking one of her books that had fallen on his foot away and storming off towards the train.

Whoever that wizard was, he'd better hope that he never encountered Aelin again, because she was already looking forward to learning a thing or two about hexes. If they ever met again, she decided that he would be her test subject, whether he liked it or not.
