A letter.<br/><br/>That was all it took.<br/><br/>Jasper received his letter to Hogwarts a few days ago and couldn't be more happy. He smiled when he got the letter and didn't bother reading it before packing up a small luggage bag full of his clothing and other necessities. His foster mother looked at him when he walked downstairs then he looked at her. She had a disapproving look upon her face as she placed her hand out but Jasper didn't give her the letter. He stood there as she was getting angry by the second but he didn't care. He was leaving - One way or another. His eyes fluttered over to the kids playing as one of them fell and started crying. His foster mother had to choose between him or the crying child. She rushed over to the kid's side and he rushed for the door, hearing her call his name but he ran down the street, not looking back.<br/><br/>He still remember going to get his wand, items for Hogwarts and etc etc and even being scared of the little dwarfs at the bank. He couldn't help but laugh at them though, to bring his fear down a notch. Jasper was guided by a man and a women as they made sure that he got what he needed. He nodded his head at the do's and don't's and even at the way to talk to people at Hogwarts. Once he was ready, they smiled and boarded him upon the train and waved him good-bye as he waved back with a soft smile.<br/><br/>Jasper sat down in his seat and leaned his head back with a sigh.<br/><br/>He briefly closed his eyes and eventually fell asleep, that was until he heard his compartment door open. He looked at the male that had just entered then raised a brow at him. "May I help you?" He asked him softly and in a sleepy tone. The male laughed and shook his head while shrugging his shoulders. "All the other compartments were filled. Mind if I join you?" Jasper shook his head and waved for the male to come and join him. The male smiled and gave a soft thanks while sitting across from him. "I am Randolph by the way. And you are?" Randolph extended his hand out towards him. "Jasper." His hand met Randolph's and they shook with a smile.<br/><br/>"So, are you nervous?" Jasper asked him while offering him so treats that he got from one of the stores. Randolph took a treat then leaned back with a slight huff before answering. "A little, yes but I think it'll be alright." His eyes looked out the window as he nodded. "I feel the exact same way." Jasper stomach was literally turning flips because he was so damn nervous and couldn't help it. He wondered if him and Randolph would be friends or enemies, only time will tell when they reach Hogwarts.<br/><br/>(( Might I add that Randolph is a NPC, so you may use him as well. ))
