"Hey, Carl! I'd love to sit with you, " she said with a giggle. Moving forward, she slipped her arm through his and sighed. "I always have a hard time finding a place to sit when my best friends aren't around, you know. "
Certainly Carl understood this, no? It was TOUGH.
But it was all good now that he was here. He with the blonde hair to rival her own! "How was your holiday? "
Carl noticed that Dora was lost in thought when he called her. He smiled back, hoping he was not distracting her.
"Great!" He said as he led her along the corridor to find a compartment to sit in.
"Yeah, I find it hard too. It's difficult to find a place that has people that I know but is also not too crowded... or chaotic." He nodded, remembering his very first train ride with the Hag. She smelled horrible.
"My holiday was great! I hung out in Diagon Alley a lot and I also did dog sitting. How was yours? Did you go to Bali?" The Hufflepuff remembered she said she went to the island every summer.
He glanced into the next compartment they walked past and saw that it was empty.
"How's this one?" He paused and looked at Dora.
