| | |  Middle Cars
 If you suffer from FOMO or just want to be in the involved with everything, then the middle passenger cars of the train are for you. Just like the other cars, a long corridor provides access to the many compartments, each labelled with a letter, available for you and your friends to hunker down in until the train has come to a complete stop. Cushioned seats and large windows, allowing perfect views of the British scenery on your journey, await.
Well, what are you waiting for? Slide open a compartment door and make yourself at home. Place any of your belongings not in the luggage car on the racks above you. Chat with your friends about your summer plans, enjoy munching on the snacks you bought from the trolley lady, get ahead of the game by exchanging addresses, or take a long nap as the train travels over numerous hills and mountainsides. Whatever you do, exhibit your best behaviour -- the prefects will be regularly patrolling the corridors and poking their heads inside your compartment to make sure you are doing so.

Maybe it was because she was so looking forward to getting home, but Karleigh was one of the first people on the train. She didn't seek anyone out, whether that was deliberate or happenstance, but she still chose a compartment in the middle of the train, wanting to be in the center of anything that might be going on.
She left the door open as an invitation for anyone who wanted to join her - friend, family, or acquaintance. Or even someone she did not know yet who could be a potential friend. Taking a seat on the bench, she set down Sprinkles, her speckled pygmy puff on the seat next to her as she contemplated things while looking out the window. It was her birthday soon and she knew she was being ridiculous, but did she even want to have a party? It felt like such an awkward time, right at the end of term and beginning of summer. Maybe she should just keep it to family and not worry about it.

Maybe she should just keep it to family and not worry about it. Margaret had wanted to sit with Blake, or Florrie, or maybe Cooper, while she still had the chance. Maybe even Alex, but she'd never admit it to him or anybody else. But...well, she wasn't really sure any of them wanted to sit with her. So at the first sign of anybody else she knew, or well, anybody who didn't completely hate her, she decided she'd just sit there. No use wandering about the train the whole time, as given her luck she'd end up in a carriage alone.
Her luck wasn't all bad, because she found fellow fifth year, fellow O.W.L.-sufferer, and generally kind person Karleigh almost straight away. Poking her head in and smiling hopefully, Margaret greeted the other girl. "Hello! Do you want some company?" Although...was that a pygmy puff on the seat? She supposed technically Karleigh already had some company. | |

Karleigh had grown a little lost in thought as she looked out the window, so much so that she didn't realize anyone else was there until she heard a voice. Turning suddenly, she soon gave her yearmate a friendly smile.
"Hi, Margaret," she greeted her cheerfully. "Oh, of course. Please have a seat." She really did welcome the company, though she was a little surprised that Margaret wanted to sit with her. She hadn't really thought the Hufflepuff liked her all that much. But she would be friendly either way. "Excited to be going home? I bet you have some exciting plans." She didn't really know, of course, but she could easily make that assumption.

She didn't really know, of course, but she could easily make that assumption. At the invitation, Margaret promptly plopped onto the seat across from Karleigh, eyeing the pygmy puff slightly. She wasn't sure she'd ever seen one this close, aside from maybe at the shop. She shrugged. "I guess so? Summer means Quidditch. And no classes or exams." She was excited for that part. Not for the weird social life of the summer where she barely saw her school friends and spent most of her time with her brothers or Quidditch teammates.
"Do you? Have exciting plans?" she asked curiously. She didn't know Karleigh well, what with her being a Gryffindor girl and...Margaret not getting along well with a certain other Gryffindor girl and therefore generally avoiding the rest. | |

"Do you? Have exciting plans?" she asked curiously. She didn't know Karleigh well, what with her being a Gryffindor girl and...Margaret not getting along well with a certain other Gryffindor girl and therefore generally avoiding the rest. Karleigh noticed Margaret's brief attention towards her pygmy puff. "Oh, this is Sprinkles," she casually commented. "You can pet her if you want. She's very friendly." And extremely docile, as her little pet just sat there on the bench next to her without much activity.
"Oh, right, of course," she nodded. She remembered that Margaret played for one of the U17 teams. Her dad was a Quidditch referee and sometimes picked up the youth games over the summer. Sometimes she went too, to watch. "I like the no classes or exams part," she agreed with a small laugh. "How do you think you did on your OWLs?" She was really glad that was all over with now. It had been some year.
"Nothing too eventful, I don't think," she considered. "It's my birthday in a couple days and I'll have some dancing. My mum said my old studio closed so I'm going to be starting with a new one this summer." And she already knew people who took classes there, so hopefully it would be fun. And not more of the same from the past term.
