CHOOOO! CHOOOO!

Melanie walked down the ailse, clutching a trunk a trunk...well actually kinda dragging a trunk and carrying her cat's carrier in the other hand (apparently they were rather helpful when you had a cat that had the need to pounce on anything that moved).

She normally loved the train ride...you got to hang out with your friends and talk and have fun before you said goodbye for the summer... But the one thing she hated about the train ride home was that it didn't really take her home. Hogwarts was home and it was taking her away...

It would be taking her to Kings Cross station, from which she would travel to New York City... where she would waste the summer away in her dad's apartment.

Not the funnest place ever but it could be worse.

Annnnnnnyway, her mind preoccupied with thoughts of leaving and her summer and BLAHBlahBLAH the second year promptly walked SMACK into a sixth year girl quite a few inches taller than her!

How Fabulous.

As she looked up a small squeak escaped her lips, thoroughly convinced the girl was going to slap her beside the head or do something equally horrifying... But as she recognized the girl, and a triumphant grin spread across her face. "T-Tammy?" she blurted out, hoping she'd gotten it right. "You're Natasha's cousin." Melanie informed her matter-oh-factually, jogging her memory. Ahhhh, at last she'd found someone she knew... and she didn't appear the type that would punch her out for walking into her. "I remember you from the feast. Sorry, I walked into you, I was....just thinking." she asked hopefully, glancing up at the Hufflepuff girl, who now didn't seem nearly as tall as she did before. Or....violent. In fact, the girl did seem to be a bit upset. "Is everything okay?" she asked softly, as she took notice, wondering if it was just the train ride home or something more.... and wondering at the same time, if she should have just kept quiet about it.

Eh, she was too nosy for her own good. Hopefully Tammy wouldn't mind.
