"Stay safe Rune, Or I'll have to come and get you." Talo scowls. I nod with a smile.
                          
Talo helps me with my suitcases and finds me an empty cabin before greeting goodbye. 
                          
I watch as busy families wave off the children. 
                          
Until I was interuptted by the sound of my door sliding open.
                          
"This will do. I'll just pretend you don't exist" I look at the boy, looks around my age. Has curly hair and that sort of smile you'd see on clowns.
                          
I stay quiet, watching him from a moment as he watches me before looking out the window once more.
                          
"This is weird, usually I'd get kicked out or atleast be drowned in a storm of profanities." 
                          
I turn my attention back to the boy.
                          
"Would you like to be cussed at?" I question his words.
                          
"It would feel much better than this awkard meeting. "
                          
"Is that a yes?" I add.
                          
"No but you're making me rethink my decisions." He states.
                          
I hum in response.
                          
"You don't want to know my name?" He interrupts the silence quickly.
                          
"I don't need to know your name" I emphasize on need but as a question in a nice way.
                          
"I'll tell you anyways."
                          
"I figured."
                          
"Mattheo. Mattheo Riddle."
                          
"Rune. "
                          
"Rune..??"
                          
"Oberlin."
                          
"I'll be quite honest with you Rune Oberlin. I'm not sure you know who my father is. And I'm only going to inform you because you seem quite-"
                          
"I know who your father is. Anyone from this world would know." I state while looking out the window.
                          
"Then why aren't you running out the cabin." He genuinely askes in confusion.
                          
"One, you're not your father. And frankly because this is my cabin. If anyones running out, it's you." I face him with a serious look.
                          
My words seem to catch him off guard.
                          
It's like he has never heard them before. From anyone.
                          
"What's your name again? Rune Oberlin was it? 
                          
Well Rune, just know that from now on.  You won't be getting rid of me. 
                          
That hit right here. " he pretends to be hurt where his heart lies.
                          
I'm not quite sure whether its the first sentence or the second.
                          
My guess he wants me to think its the second.
                          
Our interaction is interrupted by another person coming in. 
                          
"You two seem quite indulged in your conversation. Don't mind me. I need a break from my sister."
                          
"Oh great if it isn't greeny." 
                          
"Don't act like its an honour being around you Riddle."
                          
They both realize I'm just staring at them quarrel after a minute or so.
                          
"Daphne Greengrass. Your name?" 
                          
"Her names Rue"
                          
"Rune."
                          
"Right what she said. "
                          
"You're new here aren't you?" She askes  another.
                          
I nod.
                          
"Wait you are??"
                          
"Oh you wouldn't know Mattheo, You barely go to classes. "
                          
"Simply because I don't have too." He adds resting on his arms behind his head. Leaning back watching me.
                          
"I shall be your first friend here then. Unless you already know some people."  She states.
                          
"I don't know much people, I wasn't looking for friends either." 
                          
"Too late you got us two."
                          
"Well would you look at this. Mattheo's interested in you."
                          
I turn to Mattheo who's defensively arguing against Daphne.
                          
"Merlins beard, you would think theres a pair of kneazles fighting in here."
                          
All of our heads turn to a soft voice leading to another blonde student.
                          
"Are you two related?" Mattheo took the words right out of my mouth.
                          
"As if I'd be related to Lovegood. No offense." Daphne exclaims.
                          
"It's okay, I wouldn't want to associate with you or your sister actually." She says with a smile. Tilting her head slightly to pass Daphne's figure.
                          
"I don't think I've met you before." She states.
                          
"I'm not one to be known." I defend.
                          
"My names Luna. You are?"
                          
"Rune." I smile. Loving her nature.
                          
She takes a sit next to me. Complimenting my hair. Completely ignoring the other two.
                          
Who seems to just watch Luna and I talk.
                          
"It's a relief to know you aren't like a typical slytherin." Luna states.
                          
"Slytherin?"
                          
"Its our houses. We're sorted into them based on our well traits to keep it simple." Daphne informs.
                          
"Oh I think I was put into Ravenclaw was it?" I mention.
                          
"Wait really?" 
                          
I nod.
                          
"I thought you were a slytherin, considering the fact you were with these two. But that's great news. I'm also in Ravenclaw. I'm sure we'll have a great time together." Luna smiles excitedly.
                          
"Not so fast Lovegood. She's still friends with us. I'm fine with her as long as she isnt apart of gryffindor." 
                          
"Agreed. You don't get to take her all by yourself. I'm not letting Rune be a loner with you."
                          
I turn to Luna to see hows she's handling this but all she's doing is gazing around the room happily.
                          
"Anything from the trolly dearies?"
