Chooooo choooo! The Hogwarts Express has arrived in Hogsmeade for the annual trip home. No one can stay at Hogwarts over the summer, so gather up your belongings and find a carriage for you and your friends.
This is where the just-graduated seventh years will emerge from their "graduation trip" across the lake. It's also where the rest of the students (new second - seventh years) converge to get onto their carriages. The train leaves promptly in a quarter hour, so don't dawdle! |

It was a good thing that they used magic to carry luggage, it was a bad thing that Forrest didn't know how to use it to pack his bag.
Somehow, even though he had left stuff behind so he carried less, his belongings didn't fit in the luggage. He'd had to jump on it while someone zipped it closed, and now it looked like it could burst open any moment. He wondered how his mother had arranged it so neatly that there was still some place when he came here. Now, that was magic; because he couldn't even come close to that neatness even after arranging it differently three times. Oh well. He was just left to hoping that it wouldn't burst open.
He hadn't had to carry it until now, but he had to load it aboard, and the small door-thing didn't look like it would be any helpful. He eyed it fearfully, and after a few seconds of chanting You can do it! in his mind, he pulled on the handle of his luggage. Puuuuull! Oh, this is too hard! Draaaag, puuuuull!
He was flushed with immediate effect, but it didn't even move a millimetre. He wasn't going to give up, though. Instead, he pulled out his wand and swished and flicked while saying "Wingardium Leviosa!" The luggage trembled, didn't want to fly, but he frowned and concentrated, and it got a few centimetres up in the air. With great concentration, he willed it to fly inside the train, and after it was fully inside, it dropped to the ground once more. The little boy wasn't dismayed however that he couldn't fly it all the way to the luggage compartment. On the contrary, he was quite pleased with his wandwork and even looked around with a shining face for some congratulating people. Because his spell was perfect. A few seconds later as the feeling of success faded, he got inside too and started dragging it to the luggage compartment.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Abigail L Blythe First Year | You have bewitched me body and soul, And I love- I love- I love you SIGH it was already time to go home, Mack really wanted to go beg the headmistress to let her stay at Hogwarts through the summer, but she knew the professors were looking to enjoy a few months off as well.
She supposed that putting off all of the final arraignments of her parents things would only make things more difficult and that the sooner it was all behind her the better. She still hadn't decided if she wanted to sell the estate in London or just keep it until she graduated. Shaking her head she cleared the thoughts, it was her train ride home, she was going to have to say goodbye to Ronnie and she needed to stay strong for that.
She stroked Rose's left wing while she waited for more students to make their way to the platform.

With her two rats on her shoulder, Little princess on her left and Sir blue on her right, she walked with her head down and with a sad look in her eyes toward the train platform. Her finger was still hurting from her Luggage, what had fallen UP her finger and she was now already worried about going home. Would her mom be happy to see her? She didn't knew it, but, maybe it was a good thing to go beck to only her mom, maybe, if she was lucky... then her mother would have more time for her! Yes, she needed to look positive at this situation!
When she stopped at the platform she tried to hide her sad look, she lifted her chin up and took a deep breath, she wanted to look like a normal student who was happy to go home, she didn't wanted to show the others that she was in a bad mood... So she tried to hide her sad feelings while she waited.

Tobias was PREPARED. He knew from experience that he always tended to want something from his trunk when everything was already packed. To remedy this he'd filled up his school bag with things he was likely to want to retrieve, like his wand and some money and a hoodie to ball up and use as a pillow if he got tired. And other stuff. There was also space in there for looooooooads of sweets.
But he still had a trunk to contend with and heave up onto the train and to the luggage compartment.
Now, this could be problematic. During the school year, Tobias had wondered about whether he was small enough to fit into the trunk. At one point, the Hufflepuff had tested this theory and... yep... he could fit. He was also pretty sure, despite all the physical activity this year what with Quidditch (which DID require upper body strength) that he hadn't gained much muscle. So he'd probably have his work cut out for him here.
It took him a while, but Tobias gradually heaved the trunk to the Hogwarts Express. He wouldn't let anyone help him, either, 'cause Toby was glad that his energy was back, and he was quite eager to use as much of it as possible. Now, of course, he had to get the thing on to the train. This part was proving tricky...
After having blocked one of the doorways into the train with his trunk escapades for a few minutes, Tobias finally managed to push the luggage onto the train by using a well utilised shoulder barge. He found himself falling forwards into the carriage afterwards, but pretended nothing had happened as he hopped up onto the steam train and started dragging the trunk towards the luggage compartment
