The summer had been much to long. Hera enjoyed it, and it allowed her to have a short break from the normal homework loaded upon all the students, especially as she got older, though really, she loved Ilvermorny. She loved all the magic that constantly surrounded her, all the magic which was so different but fantastical, and all of the people, too. She was a mermaid, well, a half mermaid, she supposed, since she only turned into one upon contact with water. That made it easier though, since she could be both on land and go to Ilvermorny and live a relatively normal life, but she could also spend time in the lake, swimming around with an extraordinary speed, and diving as deep as she wished. She just felt free in the water, and she loved that feeling so much.

Term was finally started, and Hera was excited as ever. She would finally be able to go back to Ilvermorny, and see everything again. She loved start of term, the initial feeling of getting back home. She hoped to stay at Ilvermorny forever, and one day even become a professor, though she didn't know how likely it was that would happen, since many wanted to be professors. Maybe she could be a full time mermaid. No, that wouldn't be good, since she would never see her non-mermaid friends. Couldn't she just stay in school forever? She only had three years left, and she had no doubt they'd pass by much too quick, so Hera just had to make the most of her time left. At least she wasn't a seventh year, about to graduate.

She boarded the train, and got a few stares when others caught sight of her pastel colored hair, though didn't care, she was used to it, and she liked her hair. She trudged through the halls of the train, lugging her trunk behind her, and peered into each compartment, seeing that the train was already packed and not wanting to sit with some random people, or mean students, either. Being stuck with a strict professor would also be no fun. Luckily, she found a friend very quickly, Poseidon Sheridan. They were both Thunderbirds and in the same year, and they had known each other for many years, and Poseidon, although her wasn't a mermaid (well, she supposed a male mermaid wold be called a merman), he had a great fascination and love for the water, which she thought was ironic because of his namesake. Well, they both had greek names, and that was something odd they could always connect with each other for.

"Yep, if you don't mind," she said, setting down her things across from her as her as she sat down. "Ooh, we definitely need to buy snacks. Chocolate frogs are a must, of course, and liquorish wands are good. What about some sugar quills? Oh, I just love candy in general, we can get whatever you'd like."
