Jesifur continued to run and almost forgot to stop! She had gone thru the barrier, on her own. Now all she had to do was find a seat. Her mind was whirling and she almost bumped into several people as she made her way over to the train. She mumbled apologies and climbed the steps into the first cars she saw. As she made her way toward the back of the train she kept her eyes out for an open compartment. She had not had any time in Diagon Alley to socialize and was looking forward to doing so. She found an empty car three quarters of the way down and went in. She shoved her trunk on the storage rack and collapsed on the seat.
It had seemed such a whirlwind, the last two weeks. She had turned eleven in late august and had just made the age cut off to get into the school. Thank goodness she hadn't been born in late September, she didn't think she'd be able to wait another whole year. Between her birthday, the Diagon Alley shopping spree, and packing she hadn't slept a wink in weeks it seemed.
