She tugged and dragged and pulled her trunk into an empty compartment. She left it pretty much near the door because she was too exhausted to get it in farther, or try and throw it under a seat, and she definitely wouldn't get it onto a rack above. Also, it didn't occur to her than more than a few people would be getting onto the train. Everyone could probably have their own compartment anyway, and her trunk nearly blocking the entrance to the one she was already occupying wouldn't be anyone's problem.

She heaved a sigh and sat forward-facing beside the window. She slid her backpack off her shoulders and pulled out the puzzle books she brought for the ride along with a case of colored pencils. Her head was still swimming with doubt and nerves, but this would take her mind off everything.

Sam boarded at the middle cars because he saw Genny's pair of pigtails stepping onto the train there. And at this point, she was his only Hogwarts friend. With Taco in his pocket, he eventually made his way onto the Hogwarts Express, only to have lost sight of his mate.

Well, shucks.

But he got over that quite quickly and resolved to meet new people instead. Maybe he'd run into her along the way, too. The next compartment he came across only seemed to have one person - also a smaller person - so Sam ventured for this one. He slid the door open and tried to take a step forward, but was blocked by something large and heavy enough to hurt his big toe. "Oww," he murmured, a little frown forming when he looked down at the trunk. After a moment of just looking at it, he lifted his head to see the occupant doing some sort of coloring page or something. "Er, hi," he said, standing in place. "Mind if I sit here?" After the question left his lips, he briefly wondered if the placement of her trunk was a hint that she didn't want company.
