Crowded and noisy. Those were the only two words that could best describe the current situation of the Hogwarts Express. Trying to politely push through people was one of Clara's least favorite things to do, and yet she really had no choice in here.
She noticed that the front seemed slightly emptier than the middle and the back, so she narrowed down her options. There were little groups here and there and her eyes had to try extra hard to find an empty compartment. It wasn't that she hated people, it's that she hated feeling left out. Having gone the first four years of Hogwarts without a -real- friend, it was starting to feel incredibly lonely. Sure, there were acquaintances here and there, and it wasn't like she didn't know anyone. In fact, she had a knack for remembering faces and names way better than anyone ever should. Unfortunately, having temporary friends can get a little saddening when you're looking for an open seat. It's like a bunch of oranges at the supermarket, and you're that one orange that keeps getting looked over, time and time again. Okay, maybe that's a little overdramatic, but this was all in Clara's head, so shouldn't that be okay?
Realizing that she was in the way and that there were a few students behind her trying to scope out their buddies that they've missed, Clara quickly scanned for an empty compartment - nope, no not that one - voila! An empty compartment was greeting her with a smile and she sat down as hastily as she could, relieved that she now had a seat. Now she could finally enjoy that pumpkin pasty she got on the food trolley earlier...
