I thought I was going to do that again, but High Mother had to come to London and told me this time I’m taking the train.” Nod nod. Always do what High Mother says. “She said there is a train behind that wall.” she pointed, then looked all around them. There were trains everywhere—another thing she was marveling at but she was specifically told to get on “ ’....The Hogwarts Express will take you to school.’” she repeated the voice echoing in her head verbatim. “High Mother is never wrong, but.... do you think she got it wrong?” hard to believe when one is all confused and new and there are obvious choices right in front of her.
Ah, so this was her very first time riding the Express. And trying to get through the wall. Mo leaned against a different and safe bit of wall confidently, giving the barrier a nod. "I needed a pep talk to go through last year, so I don't blame you for being a little bit concerned. But it's safe."
No one had ever gotten stuck in the wall, or at least not so far as Mo had heard. And not that he'd be willing to share that thought, since it now seemed a little terrifying to even consider.
"It's safe," he repeated. "What's a high mother?"
