Ceres listened with all her attention to him, as he spoke of his painfull memories. As always he stayed a mystery, letting her walk in the darkness about his past, not even lifting a tip of the veil to give her an indecation of what might have happened to him.
She smiled her typical smile as he called her brave again. Her ego got a bit od a boost, wich was good for her. ‘’You know, sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage. Just literally twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it. Just like now, I saved the one who is supposed to save me. I will tease you with this for the rest of the year you know. ‘’Ceres grinned as she stood up looking at the darkening sky. Inside the cabin Minthe was bouncing around the place, her nervousness was kicking in though as her insecurity hit the ceiling.
‘’Sis.. Stop flirting and come here. What if I get sorted into slytherin, or any house that is not Ravenclaw’’ Minthe stated her concern. She really wanted to stay with her sister for the only year the two of them could spend on Hogwards. Ceres rolled her eye’s and ignored the flirting part as she entered the cabin.
‘’Who is flirting whith who he!’’ She said grabbin her sister and ruffeld through her blond hair ‘’And you will be fine, no matter where you end up. Now be silent and hurry up, change into your uniform. For you the magic is only beginning’’
Ceres watched her sister as she looked around herself. Hogmeade was a funny little place from wich the students traveled towards Hogwards.
‘’ Alright, First year students shall come with me. Onto the boats with ye all’’ A big rough looking bearded man said. ‘’Hagrid!’’ Ceres and some other studens called , Hagrid waved back happy to see some familliar faces. Minthe on the other hand was stunned, like most first years, by the appearance of the half giant.
‘’who is he?’’ Minthe wispered into her sisters ear and Ceres grinned. ‘’That is Hagrid, Keeper of the Keys, Game and Grounds. He will lead you through a special route for the first years. Here we need to sepparate, but I will see you at the sorting ceremony. Have fun!’’ Ceres said and she pushed her sister towards the group of first years. Laughing at her sisters nervous look Ceres remembered her own first arrival. The boats in the darkness, the lights. The first impression of the migthy castle that stood at the banks of the lake, illuminated by moonlight. ‘’It seems like she will do just fine already’’ Ceres laughd as she saw her sister stepping into the boat with a boy and a girl already sitting in the boat. They chatted for a bit and soon a handshake followed. Making friends was always fun.
Now finnaly being able to let her sister go, Ceres pulled the sleeve of Crixus and walked towards the Carriages that got pulled by Thestrals. Ceres had never seen them, because she had never been embraced by death. Slowly she climbed into the carriage and waited for Crixus.
‘’Say Crixus, I was wondering. Can you, well….. see the Thestrals? How do they look?’’
She smiled her typical smile as he called her brave again. Her ego got a bit od a boost, wich was good for her. ‘’You know, sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage. Just literally twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it. Just like now, I saved the one who is supposed to save me.
