Alyssa walked along the corridor, trying to find an empty corridor. She was almost to the end of the middle part of the train when she came across an empty compartment. She dragged her trunk and shoved it under the seat. She then took a seat nearest the window and looked out. She was going home and it couldn't be any sooner. She felt exhausted and alone. She almost laughed aloud. This was exactly like how it was when she was on the train at the beginning of the term. 'Some things really don't change after all. Lone dogging again.' Alyssa thought to herself.
