He took a sip of the pumpkin juice he'd bought from the food trolley. And yes, there's a ghost for each house and then some free ones that inhabit the castle itself.

Ian looked out the window of the car and noticed they were nearing the castle. Oh, my! We're very nearly there. When we get off the train, don't worry about your things. They'll be taken to the castle. You both will get on the boats. I liked those more than the horseless carriages we have to ride. The carriages give me the creeps. Some of the kids say they are pulled by thestrals, but I've not seen them.

Better than Santa's elves? Well, that was something that she was just going to have to see for herself. Although, if they did all the cleaning and stuff for her then they were already better than Santa's elves in her book. She wasn't an untidy person, but she didn't like cleaning. Did anybody really? "I want one of those." Then she heard what he said about obtaining one. "Maybe because there are three of us we will be able to get one." Who knows. They probably would only give them out to parents who were magical. She could hear it now... you're just a child, you couldn't possibly take care of an elf. Blah, blah, blah. "We have our own ghost?" Well, it was only fair and all.

"Already? But we didn't even get to play with our magic sticks or anything." That was a complete bummer. At that very moment her stomach decided to growl. "Is there food there... like as soon as we get there?" She should have gotten herself something off of the food trolley instead of talking her new friends ear off. No carrying her trunk... you weren't going to have to tell her twice about that. "We can't go together?" Another bummer. She was going to have to go with her sister which really wasn't that bad, but she couldn't answer questions like Ian could.
