"You can go back, Deely. I can reach the station myself."
A popping sound was heard from the shadow of the building, and a handsome young man came out.
"Kings Cross Station, the start of the journey to the infamous Hogwarts."

"This 9 3/4 platform is noisy. Why there are so many people?"
"Some people come with their whole family: father, mother, siblings who are yet entering to school and even other relatives, like cousins. That's why it's crowded. Actually, around a hundred people study at Hogwarts."
"It's pathetic that a whole family comes to send a person off."
Even though I said so, I wanted Grandpa to send me personally. Alas, he's too busy, maybe another day...
As I absentmindedly looked around to check people, my eyes stopped on a person.
Lean, tall (maybe because he was so slim that I got the impression that he was tall), with porcelain-like skin, long white hair swaying with his graceful walk, and black, abyss-like eyes, got my whole attention. I couldn't get my eyes off him. He wore a knee-length black double-breasted coat with golden patterns on the lapel and ends of the sleeves glowing in this semi-dark alley. His white shirt and beige vest could be seen as his coat was unbuttoned.
Noticing that he was a pure-blood (obviously, how can a muggle-born boy have long hair and this kind of outfit?), I asked Dalton:
"Uncle Dalton, who is that boy?"
He followed my gaze and saw the boy. After thinking for a while he answered hesitantly:
"Young lady, I am not quite sure, but he can only be from the Emrys family if he's pureblood. I am familiar with all other children from noble families who are attending school but have very limited information about him. Mr. George only knew that a boy from the Emrys family is 11 this year and chose to attend Hogwarts. Neither his name nor his appearance is known."
"Is that so? Then I am going to find out his name."

(Third person POV)
Everybody felt the different aura from Noah and subconsciously made way for him. Our noble-looking MC nodded his head slightly when people looked at him but didn't stop to talk to anyone. He went on the train with his little entourage, a handbag-carrying demiguise who vanished from time to time. They found an empty compartment on the last carriage.
"Come in, Ciuin."
After letting the demiguise enter, Noah also came in and closed the door. He picked the seat near the window and take an old-looking book out of his spatial ring, which he made during his lessons in alchemy. It didn't have much space, only a few meters cube, but it was stable and could be used for a long time without any worries.
After a few moments of precious silence, the door opened with literal 'bang' and stone grey eyes peered in:
"Can I sit here?" The girl asked as she saw the boy who was reading the book. Without waiting for his answer, she entered with a small suitcase and sat opposite him.
Seeing the grey eyes and jet black hair tied into ponytail, a name came to Noah's mind:
"Lia West?"
"Certainly. What about you?" said the girl while raising her chin slightly, proud that this cool boy knew her.
"Noah Emrys. Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too, Noah. Can I call you that?" asked the girl, after shaking hands with him.
"Sure. I assume you don't mind if I call you Lia, do you?"
"No, I don't. Which..."
At this moment, the door opened again, and a boy with red hair came in:
"Hi everyone! Can we sit here?"
"Sure."
"Thanks."
Behind the boy, a timid girl with glasses who hugged a big book and another boy with messy yellow hair with gentle face also came in.
The girl sat beside Lia and boys sat with Noah. They gave curious glances at the creature who changed her seat to Noah's laps and hugged him tightly, watching the the strangers with doe-like eyes.
"Shall we get to know each other?" said the red-haired boy.
"William Weasley, I prefer Bill though. What about you?" He looked at Noah.
"Noah Emrys. You can call me Mr. Emrys till we become closer friends. And I believe to won't be long before you start calling me by my first name, Mr. Weasley."
Bill stiffly smiled and shaked hands with him.
"My name is Lia, Lia West. It's pleasure to meet you all." She tried her best to show demenaor of noble lady by giving a graceful smile, but it looked cute on this young girl.
"I'm Cliste Lawrence," said the girl monotonously.
"Hello, everybody. My name is Artemis Scamander. What is his name?" he added, pointing his chin to the demiguise.
"Her name is Ciuin. Say 'Hi!' to them, Ciuin."
Demiguise waved her hands to them a little and vanished again.
"She's a little shy in front of strangers." Noah explained her actions.
"Like every demiguise. Grandfather had one, Dougal."
"Mr. Newt Scamander? I have seen his book, it's really informative" praised Noah.
"You have read that book too? What animal do you like best? I wish I had bowtruckle. It's really interesting. But they're a bit hard to tame. I have spent a few hours a day in front of their nest, but got no pet."
"Really? I want a niffler, but it's not right time to get one..."

As they chatted on various topics, a smile in the corner of Noah's mouth became wider and, at last, it resembled an evil smirk, for Ciuin anyway. She swore that she didn't need to use her divination skills to prophesize this small talk was a start for her Master's schemes and these schemes might bring unknown changes to the world.
