Aggie spun, avoiding hitting a young boy walking down the hallway with Jeeve’s brass cage. “So where should we sit?” she asked her owl who didn’t move from his hunkered downness inside his cage. “Alright fine, I’ll figure it out. You just - - just sleep.” A soft hoot was her response. Aggie rolled her eyes. Owls could be so grouchy.

Aggie peered into a few compartments, most of which had one or two people in it. She kept walking, used to having to find either a place to squeeze into (when she got to the station late) or find herself a nice empty place to hunker down with a good book. She passed by another compartment then paused and backed up.

She peered inside to find that Tobi’s lengthy form was taking up an enter side of the compartment. Well, that would just not do! Aggie slipped into the compartment, set her ornery owl down in a corner so he would slide around too much and then stood, towering over Tobi’s head for a moment with her hands on her hips. Her purple tennis shoe clod foot tapped the ground gently as she thought of what to do to him.

After a second, she simply turned around and without a word, sat right on his stomach.

There was a lot of hooting going on around him, but that was entirely normal on the Hogwarts Express. There were Owls everywhere, he'd almost gotten comfortable with the winged pests. Still, the best birds were stuffed ones in his opinion. He'd never tell Aggie that though, crazy girl loves her animals. Isolde, his own Owl or rather his sister's Owl on loan, was flying her way to Hogwarts, who wanted to spend hours on a train with a hooting menace like that?

Tobi exhaled a deep contented sigh, at the peace of his compartment and the general satisfaction with his life - Aggie's recent odd behaviour didn't even dim his happiness to be heading back to school for his final term.

And then something was sitting on him. Most upsetting of all - that something, a large, AT LEAST hundred pounds of something, had sat on his stomach just as he had exhaled, forcing more wind out of him in a, and making his lungs protest at the prospect of reinflation. His eyes flew open.

Who else but Agatha DeWitt was staring down at him with a self satisfied smile?

"Aggie!" Tobi wheezed, "Get off!"

Not quite on top of the pile....
