“Ooh, that’s a nice house.” Skye said genuinely, she sometimes wanted to be in Slytherin, “I’m a Ravenclaw.”

He blinks then shakes his head, smiling at her. "The Ravenclaw house seems pretty neat." He says, brushing his hair from his face.

“Isn’t Slytherin as well?”

"Really depends on who you're friends with." He says, shrugging. "Most of them are pricks."

“Oh,” Skye frowned, “but you’re not one of them.”

He shrugs, "I prefer my time in the library reading or practicing magic." He shrugs.

“That’s what I like to do, except I also like to draw.”

He nods, humming slightly as he brushes his hair back again. He wasn't exactly good at small talk, or talking at all, so Skye was a freaking miracle to him.

“What year are you in?” She asked, keeping the conversation flowing.

"5th." He answers, smiling. "What about you?" He slips his wand in his sleeve.

“I’m also a fifth year.” Skye smiled, “How come I haven’t seen you before?”

He shrugs, "I don't really interact with other people." He looks down nervously.

“Oh,” She said, looking out the window.
(Should the train move?)

The train jolts to life and Xavier checks his watch. Right on time, as usual. He chuckles to himself, humming under his breath.

Skye quietly looked outside the window.

There was silence before he draws his wand and hums focusing as he flicks his wrist, expelling a monarch butterfly. He smiles softly watching as it flutters around it.

Skye looked away from the window and looked at the fluttering butterfly, “Did you make that?”

He nods, "Yeah…" His cheeks a bright red, "I've been practicing. The first time it was accidentally a lizard…" He laughs at that.

“Practice makes perfect.” Skye grinned, “It’s a nice butterfly, and doesn’t have a tail. Good job.”

He smiles at the compliment. "Thanks…" He says softly. Another wave and the butterfly was gone.

Skye looked down, she was searching for conversation starters.

"So… what's your favorite class at Hogwarts?" He asks curiously.

“Charms.”

Xavier nods, "Charms is pretty neat. I have to admit though, I more enjoy Defense Against the Dark Arts." He smiles, "I never knew why I like it, I just do."

“Some things just don’t have a reason.” Skye said.
