Irakma
Lovable Mystery Man
CJ arrived at Kings Cross once again, and looked up at the tall ceilings. Taking in a deep breath, he exhaled and began walking. Not two steps later, an elderly woman by the name of Margaret said, "What? No hug goodbye? Is this the kind of love you show to people?" CJ smiled and turned back around, pulling Margaret into a hug. Margaret shook her head and said, "That's more like it. I've been your guardian for these past eight years now. You can't act like I'm just some impediment to your life." CJ stepped out of the hug and looked at his caretaker, smiling. "Don't worry, Margaret. I'll make the orphanage proud." Margaret waved a finger at him. "Now you better, or we'll have to go find another prodigy to go to his own school for free." CJ continued smiling and said, "Not a worry. Take care of the kids while I'm gone." Margaret scoffed. "You sound like an old man going off to war. Very well. Go on with you." CJ grabbed his bags and turned around, the smile dropping off his face as soon as he was facing away from Margaret, quickly getting lost in the crowd.
Meanwhile, only a couple feet away, Ellie was getting farewells from their guardians as well. Their face was a complete change from CJ's, with a more natural and softer smile on it. Ellie was being told farewell by the couple who had taken him in. With a giggle, Ellie said, "Don't worry, I'll be safe. I promise I won't do anything dangerous other than flirting." The two guardians smiled and said, "Okay then. You come visit us in Hogsmeade, alright? We wanna make sure that everything is okay." Ellie nodded and said, "Of course! Take care!" Grabbing his cart and bags, Ellie began to walk through the barrier, only a few moments after CJ.
Walking into the smoky air, the two looked at each other for a second, before CJ sighed and started walking towards the train. Ellie immediately smiled and ran over to him, saying, "Hey! How you doing? You know where the twins are at?" CJ looked down at the shorter Ellie and said, " I-I'm not sure. Maybe they're taking their time? I guess we could get on the train and wait for them there." Ellie smiled and said, "Excellent. I barely know them but Henry looks cute. Unfortunately cuter than you." CJ ignored Ellie's comment, knowing that talking would only serve to make it worse. CJ instead picked up his bags and brought them onto the train, with Ellie quickly following suit chatting away. While Ellie didn't know the twins too well, she had very quickly become friends with CJ after an interesting incident where the two had found themselves hiding in a girls bathroom together from an angry Divination teacher. They hadn't escaped punishment, but the two became steadfast friends shortly after that, taking care of each other whenever they needed help.
