The compartments were filling up quickly, as they always did. Levi sidled into the first empty one he found. He took a seat and emitted a wide yawn. He hadn't slept too well the past few nights, mainly because he was so excited to be heading back to school. He had been a total ball of restlessness. His familiar, a bat called Vlad, was perched on his shoulder, sleeping peacefully like a baby. The Gryffindor wished he could do the same right now. It was tempting but he had to stay awake, in case someone decided to join him. It would be so great to catch up with his friends again, perhaps make a few new ones on the ride.
Levi glanced out the window, watching the scenery roll by contentedly. Just think, he would only have three more times to experience this come next year. Best make the most of the rest of his time at Hogwarts. Levi really wasn't sure what he'd be like when he finally reached his seventh term. Would he be wiser? Maybe a little bit, but not an entirely different person. He knew he'd definitely be taller. He had grown nearly a foot since the year before. His voice was already starting to deepen as well. It had moved past that scratchy mode it was in last year, thankfully. Growing up could be so weird but in a way, it was exciting too.
Levi rummaged through his bag for one of his muggle comics. He figured he needed something to pass the time while he waited for his companions/students he hadn't met before. He flipped the book open to the middle and started to read, getting sucked into the usual world of crime-fighters and over-the-top villains. He knew tales about superheroes could be a bit corny but they were his guilty pleasure. They always had been, even when he was a kid. |
