TRAIN TIME

Rose walked onto the train, nervously clutching at her cousin, it wasn’t that she didn’t want to go, quite the opposite, she couldn’t wait to go, but she didn’t really want to leave her brother or her parents. That said, the separation had not been particularly emotional, just a little bit of tearful goodbyes, but then Al had dragged her on.

And now they were searching for a compartment, just somewhere to sit and talk, and possibly cry, and James had dumped them, so not only were they nervous, but they were lost. Exchanging a shrug with each other, they got into one of the compartments, sitting opposite each other and staring silently

“Did I mention I hate your brother” Rose remarked, rifling through her travel bag for her headphones and book “and get that thing away from me” she said, pushing the ferret away from her “I don’t even know why you got it”

“Because cats and owls are over rated”

“No Albus, you’re over rated” Rose teased, unravelling the headphones

“Kay bye now” Albus said quickly, reaching into his own bag

Rose rolled her eyes and stuffed the headphones into her ears. This was going to be a looong journey
