James wandered through the halls of the train, still mesmerized by all the pretty sights. As a second year, he still didn't know very many people, so he wasn't sure where to sit. He continued down the small hallway between compartments, looking in each and every one without really paying attention to where he was going.

I wasn't looking where I was going. Completely my fault. I'll pay more attention next time." He winced and tensed his shoulders, getting ready for any spell, jinx, or hex. Opening one eye, he managed to squeak, "Please don't hurt me?"
