Draco walked along a dirt road through the forest she had grown up in, she looked back every now and then to make sure she wasn't being followed by anyone. Draco reached the street at the edge of the forest within 2 hours and walked toward the nearest bus stop. Draco waited for the bus for about 10 minutes before it came and the doors opened. Draco got on the bus and paid the bus fair, before getting in a seat near the window at the back of the bus. The bus was actually a tourist bus heading to some ruins in the middle of a nearby field, which was where the letter told her to wait for the dragon rider who was going to take the new students to the Academy at midnight. The bus got there at noon and the tourists got out, along with Draco. Draco then hid in the ruins while she waited for other students to show up. Draco watched as the tourist bus left at 3:30 PM and she saw that a few others had stayed behind. Draco watched as a few people talked to each other about the Academy, they were wondering where it was located that required that someone else to pick them up. Draco hid behind a rock wall with strange markings on it, Draco found that she could read the ancient language on the rocks without any trouble at all other than the writing being faded from time. Draco soon noticed that people were staring at her and she wondered why they were looking at her funny. One of them said, "Nice clothes, where'd you get them, Hobos-R-Us?" And the other teens started laughing, Draco noticed that they all wore nicer clothes than her, while hers were made of mish-mashed cloth types and colors all stitched together by hand and were obviously the only clothes she had due to their faded colors and stains, rips, and tears, theirs were a bit more chic, were much better made, and they matched better. Draco looked down a little and hid behind the rock and said to herself, "Maybe I shouldn't have come... I should've just stayed home with Kane and King Blueclaw and all the other orphans..." Draco was about to get up and walk back the way she had come when she was stopped by a larger teen, he then pushed her into the dirt and one of the other kids said, "That's actually a major improvement!" Before they all burst into laughter once more, Draco didn't even attempt to get up, she just laid on the ground and curled up as if to protect herself from their words.
