After loading her trunk into the luggage car, she quickly climbed aboard the Hogwarts Express to find a seat. Being in the front cars was a must. She could not wait to be back at Hogwarts for another amazing year. It was funny how much difference a year could make. Last year, at this time, she was absolutely terrified to be going to the strange magical school. A place that seemed too good to be true and a place that was ripping her out of her parents lives, possibly forever. This year was completely different. She was beyond excited. Hogwarts, along with the students and professors, had become her family. Her safe place. Her home.


Not seeing any other second years or Hufflepuffs already seated in the front cars, she found her way to an open seat and put her small bag down. Her eyes scanned the students on the platform below, hoping to see someone she knew to wave towards her. There were so many things to say after such an eventful summer.
