| | |  Luggage Compartment
The Hogwarts Express does have a place for all your things so you don't have to drag them into an already-crowded compartment. Store your school trunk, your broom, your owl, and whatever else you brought with you to school in the caboose of the train.
Then scoot to another compartment. This one's already taken by the trunks. | |

Melbourne smoothed her hand over her skirt as she pulled her trunk into the luggage compartment. Merlin, what was she going to do? They were heading back to school – there, there were so many things that she could say and do now that she couldn’t while back at home…like snog her…what even was he?
Merlin.
She needed to figure things out because this, not knowing was driving her brain crazy. Tucking her trunk away the now fifth year simply leaned on her trunk and looked around the room of luggage…look, there were loads of pets over there…there was no way that those pets belonged to him but they reminded her of him. His smile, and how awkwardly charming it was dancing with him at her grandmother’s wedding that summer…
Oh and the masquerade that, that had been a fun mess.
What am I doing? she thought as she took off her felt hat and placed it on the trunk next to her hand before reaching up to brush her fingers through her hair. Her fingers pulled and twisted at sections of hair until what was left was a rather messy and somewhat atrocious braid.
Nope…it looked like she had tried to braid her hair with the mechanical boat…or that weird meeko braiding thing from Pocahontas? The mechanical wonder that spun and smelled of burnt batteries as its motor ran twirling hair into braids…really, it was either that or a rototiller had been her mode of braiding. ”this feels weird.” she muttered unaware of how horrid the braid looked.

She felt like was walking on air, which was quite a feat considering the luggage she was hauling behind her. But nevermind that; this was the year she was finally going to start animagus training. This was the year she'd been waiting for since she started Hogwarts. That was the reason she was so happy. Nothing else.
Wimple boobooked excitely as she reached the luggage compartment door. "You know," she told the owl, "you could join us in a compartment." Wimple couldn't roll his eyes, so he rolled his head instead. "Suit yourself." The owl wanted to hang out with his friends, the other pets and owls in the luggage compartment, as usual. Hads sighed and stepped into the luggage compartment and stopped, entirely unsure whether to laugh or simply stare in shock.
She did both.
"You know, Cuz...that whole thing where you fall in love so birds braid your hair? Only happens in cartoons, otherwise you get," she gestured at Mel's entire head, "that."

For the longest while it seemed that today would never come but finally, here she was lugging her trunk onto the Express for another year at Hogwarts. It was a lot easier this time with the featherlight charm her father had placed on it. The further she walked into the train's corridor was the more practicality she saw in the act. This term she happened to pack a TON more things than the average person. There was no way she'd be able to even budge this thing if left at its true weight.
At some point she would have to find Slate to find out how their bat baby was doing--and Derf, she would need to find him too. Come to think of it there were a couple stops that needed making on this train before it hit Hogsmeade. Merlin she'd better hurry if she wanted to get it all done!
"S'cure me, coming through." For as much as she could help it, the young girl didn't shove but Circe there were just so many people heading for the luggage compartment. That growth spurt she'd been looking forward to during the summer sure would have come in handy right now.

Melbourne looked up when the door to the luggage compartment opened. Hadley, few, it would have been more awkward if it were anyone else considering the state of her disheveled hair and well…just how nervous the Gryffindor girl really was.
”I….’m joining you soon” oh wait.
No! No merlin! She had answered the comment that was directed at Wimple! Mel’s face turned slightly red just as Hadley noticed her and the hair – oh gosh…she really seemed to be getting a kick out of it. ”m’…um my hands were shaking” Mel admitted as she reached her hand to her hair and brushed her hand over it.
Merlin she was lucky she had a hat…hats didn’t cover [i]this[/ii] though, this made her look like she had gotten ready in a tornado. ”I meant to do this earlier but…uh Wyatt put paste in my hair” she frowned and pulled a chunk of white plaster like substance from her hair.
See? She still had paste chunks it was ridiculous. Unfathomable even.

That growth spurt she'd been looking forward to during the summer sure would have come in handy right now. Okay. She just needed to pop in, grab her scarf and then go find Casper. Yep. Don't get sidetracked, Dora!
GAWD why were there so many people down this train car?! So many people she didn't want to see or talk to. Ugh.
And one she didn't know... was totally being RUDE at the moment. So as any good Gryffindor would do; Dora came to a stop at the words excuse me. Or whatever accent that was said in meant that, right? Right. Stop. Stand in the way. Assert your dominance.
Hmph.

Hmph. "Pardon me, s'cuse me." Steadily she moved through the crowd, at times feeling like she'd been nudged back more times than she'd been propelled forward by the motion of others. Crowds were so messy and they were awfully frustrating too.
Finally the compartment was in view but just as the 13 year old had been given hope it was that suddenly dashed. It was the strangest thing actually,
no matter how hard she tried moving forward, she didn't seem to be budging an inch. Jessa fully turned to see the cause of the obstruction, having been walking backward with the occasional glance to before her originally.
Oh. An older student. Jessa huffed, reaching over to give a light tap at her shoulder because sometimes older kids were so lost in their own conversations and when you weren't on their height you weren't necessarily on their radar. "Pardon, I'd like to drop my trunk off but I can't seem to get through." Because....so many of them....were in the way.
"Could you maybe...scoot that way a bit? It'll only take a minute." Three if the guy before them both didn't hurry it along.

Hads spent the whole time listening to her cousin trying desperately not to laugh. When Mel finished her short explanation of what happen, Hadley bit her lip and nodded understandingly. "Hopeless," she said with a bit of the laugh peeking out. "You're completely hopeless."
Hads secured Wimple's cage next to that of his friends, and then secured her trunk next to Mel's and sat down on it. She patted the spot next to her for Mel to sit. "Why are you so nervous? You've known Ace since you both were in diapers. There's nothing to be nervous about."

This would not do.
Dora did an odd twist of her body to get away from the offending hand, you see. That was unnecessary touching. Yep.
" Don't touch people. It's not appreciated. Also, you aren't asking properly. It seems like you expect us to move rather than wish us to." Did she realize her tone and inflection was an issue? She came across as put out rather than actually PUT OUT. There was a difference.
