Matthias shut the book he had been reading when the train pulled up to the platform. Uncrossing his legs, he stood and tucked his jacket under his arm. Book in one hand, the man used his free hand to pick up his suitcase and boarded the train, giving a warm smile to the conductor. Placing his suitcase in the storage compartment above his seat, he took his seat by the window, jacket folded on his lap. Looking out the window, he propped his chin with his fisted hand.

He had gotten a letter from his dear friend informing him that needed a new Head of House for Hufflepuff. That he was the first that came to mind so asked him to please come and fill the position. Matthias had agreed, of course. Hogwarts was his home and full of so many memories. He couldn't wait to see how it had changed and stayed untouched at the same time. And the students. He couldn't wait to see what they got up to either. Some of them outshone the others in their creativity and he wanted to see that.

Hearing footfalls he looked up from his musing to see if his seat partner had shown or if it was someone else. Seeing the person bypass his compartment he went back to looking out the window. Ah, they were moving now! Opening his book where his marker was at, he began to read where he left off, unaware that someone was outside his compartment.

Rose glanced around the station happily, waiting patiently for the train to come to the station. A wide smile was on her face as she waited for it to pull. The earrings in her ears gently swayed in the wind, the earrings made of actual knuts. Her dirty blonde hair fell down to shoulders. Her dark blue dress fell to knees neatly, a silver belt made of chain with small charms, but did not make single noise, fell loosely around her waist. A dark blue storm coat over the dress. She clicked her black boots together as she waited patiently.

Rose happily boarded the train upon its arrival. She swung her suitcase lightly, the suitcase charmed so as to weigh little to nothing despite all the items within it. She held up the acceptance letter for the position of Head of Ravenclaw at Hogwarts. She grinned widely. She loved Hogwarts dearly and would enjoy going back. Lowering the letter, she looked around for a compartment. Shrugging, she walked to a random one.

She knocked lightly upon the door. she frowned upon getting no response and open the door and peaked her head in.

"Hullo!" she greeted happily "Mind if I come inside?" she asked merrily to the man inside.

Looking up at the greeting, Matthias flushed in embarrassment then smiled. "Not at all, please join me."

He was rather embarrassed that he didn't hear her. His mother had always found it rather annoying that he always seemed to get so lost in books as to tune out everything else around him. "Matthias Maddox, newly appointed Head of Hufflepuff. And who might my pretty companion be?"

Matthias himself was dressed casually in a black shirt and slacks.

Rose smiled happily at his answer. She placed her suitcase in its correct place, not wanting to carry it around with her as that would be quite burdensome.

Rose hummed slightly, not at all bothered by the fact that he had not heard her previously when she had knocked. Nondoubt he had been more focused upon something else.

Rose smiled in return "Rose Hatter, New Head of Ravenclaw." she answered, deciding to add the last part since he had done so also.

"Well, it's very nice to meet you," he smiled back. "Sorry about not hearing you. I really get into whatever book I'm reading. Used to drive my mum crazy."

Seeing how unusual her earrings were he pointed at them and tried to joke. "I've heard about showing off your money, but I never took it quite so literally."

Matthias hoped that didn't come off as rude, because he wasn't trying to be. He was blunt sometimes and some said that when he was, it comes off as rude at times. It was just, he wasn't very good at small talk. He never had been, not really.

Rose nodded, accepting the explanation even though she had not expected one. She understood it well enough. Many of her house members at her time at Hogwarts had been the same way, always enraptured in books. Rose had been more eraptured by what may actually be out there then the facts put into books that could be falsified words in her mind.

Rose just smiled, completely unbothered by what he said to her. "Mmm, yes they do make lovely earrings." she said somewhat dreamily with a far off gaze.

What was he supposed to say to that? "I suppose they do?"

Matthias wished his friend was here. He would be able to take his cues of what he should say or do, from her. He was comfortable around those he knew, and not so much around those he wasn't. That didn't mean he didn't like to make new friends though. Since he would be working with Rose he thought they should get off to a good start at least.

"So, where are you coming in from then?"

Rose smiled happily. She was in a rather good mood, as per usual. Rose was, unfortunately, not very good at making new friends. It had little to do with being unfriendly. If anything, it to do with being too friendly. Her extreme happiness and extreme friendliness usually made people feel somewhat uncomfortable, and it just infuriated people who hated her. Insults never even hit her and she did not even bat an eyelash at them, just smiled on as usual and continued talking on merrily as if they never happened.

Rose smiled gently, her wide smiled becoming smaller, though not from lack of happiness as the same amount of happiness shined in her eyes, but due to a certain amount of thoughtfulness "Hmm, well a bit of everywhere I suppose. I've been traveling you see. Wanted to see the world. Experiences make up everything."

Sitting up straighter his full attention now on the woman sharing his compartment, Matthias nodded in understanding. A full smile on his mouth now. "I am the same way. I like to travel. That was what I was doing before getting the letter asking me to take over the Head seat for Hufflepuff."

Flushing in embarrassment realizing he must seem self-centered turning what she said to make it about him, he rubbed the back of his neck. "Sorry, you were saying? What kind of places did you see and what did you do there?"

The man was very much interested but maybe she didn't share his enthusiasm for traveling?

Rose smiled brightly "Oh yes, traveling is quite wonderful. I'm afraid I can't stay in much of of one place." she said in a happy voice "I've been a bit of everywhere. I traveled through Europe to see the ruins and such. I decided to go to the Americas and it was a much different experience I must say." she hummed in response "I mostly did site seeing, but also tried to get a handle of the culture." she said thoughtfully.

Rose turned her eyes on Matthias "What about you?" she asked thoughtfully.
