Laura sat down in an empty compartment. She couldn't believe it. Next term she was going to be a seventh year. She would also have to spend the term without Minnie which wasn't very nice. Though she knew it was important that Minnie got on with her life and she would still have Ella and Sophie.

Laura looked around and took out a book to read, she wondered if anyone would come and speak to her. If anyone did that then she would obviously stop reading because otherwise it would be rude. She thought about finding Minnie but didn't think her friend would want disturbing.
