Welp. This was it. Ellie's last time on the Hogwarts express, castle bound. It didn't really feel any different than any of the other times she had been on it. But in the back of her mind, she knew she would only get to ride this train one more time.

Tugging her things down the almost empty train, she found a compartment in the middle. Ellie put her things up on the shelf above the benches and took a seat. She looked out the window, watching students say goodbye to parents and other family members. She smiled, remembering when her father took her to this very same platform for the first time. Six years ago.
