The day they met

Bellatrix Black
Year 3 - September (In the train to Hogwards)

The weather outside is changing fast; it was bright and clear minutes ago and now it turns gray…showing signs of heavy rain coming soon.

Bella's looking outside through the window. She was waiting for Cissy to reply who seemed reluctant to talk.
Suddenly; to her surprise, a figure appears hanging upside down by the window in front of her and taps the window with his wand hard.
It is the oddly dressed guy, in long Persian robes she saw earlier in the train.
She’s stunned for a second upon seeing him outside and figures that he wants to come in.
He taps a few more times, this time, softer.
Bella opens the window and is a little surprised on how fast the guy climbs in.
Not many possess such speed; she’s impressed but annoyed at his disturbance the same time.

"The door is over there. There’s a difference between that and a window.
Who are you, and what manners do you seek in here?"

Bella observes him closely. His face, his features, his movement...
She saw no emotion on his face in response to her sarcasm.
It seems strange to her as to why he wears dark glasses, even inside the train.
She also notices that his wrist is bandaged as it became obvious when he adjusted his robes.

"Just looking for an early exit from the roof… The proper one by the far end is rather far from here."

"Is this the best you could come up with? Not only you're partially blind to differentiate the door and the window, you must be partially deaf. You have not answered my question. Who are you?!"
She thinks this stranger is trying to stalk her, or her sister.
His behavior is rather odd and suspicious.
She goes for her wand.

He ignores her. Literally. Making his way out of the compartment.


Who is this mysterious person? she thought to herself. Peculiar…

“Is everyone like him?” Cissy asked.
"No, darling. He is… seems... different."


Peculiar…
Yet, that guy caught her interest.
Bella’s still looking at the door even after he left.
She wonders if he is a transfer student from another school.
Although no case of such has happened before. Not that she had known of.
