Chapter 69 – Start of the 3rd-Year
Sitting on the train heading back to school... it was hard to believe two years had already passed. I felt like it was yesterday when I first met Quincy.
"What?" She asked, munching on a gummy snake from the pile of sweets we bought from the trolley.
"Nothing! I just remembered how it was the first time I took the train!"
"It wasn't as of a rainy day!" She shrugged, looking towards the window of our cabin.
She was right. The window was fogged up and wet, while on the outside, the sky was dark as night, raining heavily since morning. I could not see the scenery changing; only the flashes of lightning were discernable whenever they happened.
"I am not envying the first-year students now! Taking the boats in this weather? Sheesh!" I shook my head with a half-smile.
"I am on you with that! By the way, do you think it will be announced now? At the start?"
"I am sure of it! It would be strange if they keep it under wraps... or did something change? Who knows!"
"We would know about that!" She shook her head, looking at me confidently, "You are one candidate, so... do you think you would be left out of it because someone better appeared? Not without telling you first!"
"I wouldn't be angry about it!" I retorted, grabbing a chocolate frog from her side and popping it into my mouth, "I would be much, much, muuuuuch happier to just sit back and enjoy the show!"
"Lazy."
