Ellie lugged her trunk onto the train. She never found out whether magic was allowed in the station or not.. if it was, she'd been a fool last year and this. But, oh well. And since she'd entered at the front, the front was where she was staying. No way was she pulling, and tugging, and lugging her trunk any farther.

The train was still fairly empty, and finding an empty compartment was no trouble at all. She shoved her trunk under the seat, and sat down, leaning against the window.

Catching her breath, she pulled out the newest edition of Bludgers and Broomsticks, and began scanning the pictures.
