He couldn't the last time he had over found a totally empty compartment.

With his trunk still dragging behind him, he stopped when he actually found an empty compartment. Pulling his trunk in, he set it in the corner, opened it up, and pulled out his new school robes and pulled them on. Closing the lid, he set his owl on top of his trunk and took a seat in the empty compartment. He really hoped that he wasn't in this compartment all to himself the entire time.

Getting up again, he went over to his trunk and pulled out one of his new books, he may as well learn some of this stuff. After all he did have a lot of catching up to do. With the book in hand, he sat back down.
