Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hermione stepped through the divider and pushed her cart to the train. she was a little early for it but she didn't think it would be too bad. she noticed a couple other students hanging around waiting for their friends to arrive. she noticed a dirty blond hair boy trying hard to get his trunk up onto the train, she could see he was having a problem so she walked over. when she got there she realized the handsome male had a cast on his arm so he couldn't lift the trunk.

"Here let me help you" she left her stuff and walked over taking the other handle and lifting it with him onto the train. once that was done she turned and got a good look at him, he had an eye patch on (one of those medical ones taped on) a busted lip, nose and of course arm. she was taken back by how he looked.

Zuko had been there for only a short while, after sitting on his trunk he had gotten bored of waiting so he tried to put it onto the train. he was very glad the girl decided to help him out. when she looked at him fully he knew she was looking shocked at all the bandages and bruises "The names Zuko" he holds out his right hand, the non broken one "I just got transferred here from Durmstrang"

"pleasure to meet you, I am Hermione Granger.. Do you know what house your going to be in?" she said taking and shaking his hand, she loved how soft his hands where, for a tough guy he seemed really nice.

"No, they are going to sort me when I get there" he said with a smile, his blue eyes almost sparkling in the light.

(im not going to just talk to my self, you have to have harry see hermione and go over..
also Zuko's piercings are like this guys minus the right lip ring since it was pulled out, there is now a split in his lip that s starting to heal and has stitches in it. Whats left: two on each ear, normally just studs. one on his right eyebrow (hidden by eye patch for now) and one on his left side of the bottom lip)

Hermione smiled brightly hearing harry call out "Harry" she waved back "hey.. your early as well.." when he got over to them she motioned to Zuko "meet the new transfer.. Zuko meet Harry potter, Harry meet Zuko.. umm whats your last name?" she said looking at Zuko who just smiled some
"my last name is Nikoti.." he said to Hermione then held his hand out to Harry "I have heard of you before Harry.." he smirks "Some good.. all interesting to say the least"

Seeing that Harry was a little shy made Zuko smile softly. "hopefully we will become friends.. Anyone who stands up for what they believe, no matter the consequences, is a great human.."
Hermione looked at Zuko loving how the other seemed to be so charismatic.
Zuko gently scratches the edge of his eye bandage trying hard to not take it off since it was bothering him again.

"My father hospitalized me, would of killed me if my mother didn't intervene" he shrugs and looks at his hand "4 broken ribs, three breaks in my arm. damaged eye.. and three of my piercings pulled out.."

"hurts like hell.. not as bad as my father saying that i didn't deserve to live.." he pats the others shoulder "don't worry about it.. once i get to the school they will heal me up.."
(others should be arriving now (draco can arrive once all the others are there))

Zuko was smiling at harry and when he saw Draco push by them he moved quickly and put Draco into a headlock "one should not be rude to those taller then them.." he growls hoping Draco wouldn't recognize him. "you should be nicer to Harry.."
