Emily hurried along the train to the middle cars hoping to find an empty compartment... and she did. Students were still milling around outside and hanging out at the back of the train. After shoving her trunk into the baggage compartment she took her seat by the window and looked out onto the platform. Her parents were still there smiling and waving at her.

Emily was looking forward to the new year... her last year at hogwarts. She was looking forward to taking classes again, hanging out in the great hall, meeting new friends. It was going to be a good year, she could sense it.
