Hufflepuff |  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 what 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.

The Leaky Cauldron | For Jess/Emma ^_^ Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ Dark Brooding Girl ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll
Another term at Hogwarts gone, another train ride home. Only this time was different. This time Desiree wouldn't be returning in the fall.
For the last time, the dark-haired Hufflepuff boarded the train, her bag tucked under one arm and her cat basket under the other. She found an empty compartment near the middle of the train and slipped inside, closing the door behind her. Setting her bag and cat basket, she took the seat closest to the window. Her bright blue eyes darted from the sphinx cat sleeping in the basket to the bag practically bursting at the seams with candy. Did she want a snack? Not right now. The emotions of leaving were too fresh in her mind.
Looking aimlessly out the window, she gazed through tears at the castle until Hogwarts vanished from sight.

Looking aimlessly out the window, she gazed through tears at the castle until Hogwarts vanished from sight. The small blond wasn't sure how she felt about the end of another term. Emma was 13 ... and a half, yet she didn't really feel much more grown up than she had at eleven.
Walking down the train corridor, she peered into compartments for familiar faces. Perhaps Bryony or Arienne or Emmie or Ary ... But instead of finding one of her fellow yearmates, she happened upon someone maybe better. That she wouldn't know when the next time she'd see again would be.
"Knock knock..." she smiled knocking lightly on the compartment door glass. Were those tears in Desiree's eyes? "Everything's going to change now, isn't it?" Also, she should probably sit instead of standing in the doorway, but what if Desiree was waiting for someone else and didn't want a little kid on her last train ride? Except in the two years she'd known Desiree, she doubted her to be like that.

Except in the two years she'd known Desiree, she doubted her to be like that. Desiree was too much like her dad to not get emotional at leaving Hogwarts. How could she not when many of her fondest memories occurred there? She sat, silently staring out the window until a sound distracted her. She recognized the voice even before she heard the knock.
She moved her bag, gesturing to the seat beside her as an invitation to sit. Only when she trusted her tears not to fall and her voice not to break did she turn to Emma with a small smile. ”It is,” she replied, nodding, but that didn't seem good enough. It was her duty as an older student to say something uplifting. ”But change isn't always bad. We'll still be friends. We'll just communicate a different way.” Like letters… and lots of cookie packages.
She wasn't really in a Disney mood, but this sort of reminded her of a song from the Frozen movies. Some things never change…

Taking the gesture, Emma stepped into the compartment and sat down beside Desiree, inspecting her fingernails a moment in contemplation. Plus looking at her fingernails was something to occupy her mind as she tried to imagine what Hufflepuff would be like next year without the familiarity of Yukie and Desiree. They were probably the first of the older Hufflepuffs to leave that Emma would truly miss seeing around.... Next would be Anna, which thankfully she still had a couple more years with.
"And I suppose it's really just the beginning.... a small part of this big world ... this big life." Even if it was the foundational of their future. When did she get so contemplative? "And there's hogsmeade ... if you happen to be near Scotland." Although Desiree could always apparate. It wasn't as if Hogsmeade was an exclusive for Hogwarts students.

"And there's hogsmeade ... if you happen to be near Scotland." Although Desiree could always apparate. It wasn't as if Hogsmeade was an exclusive for Hogwarts students. Desiree’s smile grew. To her surprise, she found that trying to comfort Emma made her feel better too. She tilted her head to one side, considering the younger girl’s words. When did Emma get so wise? Not that she wasn’t always, of course! She nodded. “That’s a smart way to look at it.”
She couldn’t help but giggle at the mention of Hogsmeade. “Of course I’ll be near Scotland. The Wizarding University of Edinburgh is right here!” Not literally right here, but here in Scotland. “Sounds like a plan! You’ll have to tell me which shop you want to hit first.” But there was all summer to think about that! Now they had a nice train ride to look forward to.
Desiree gestured toward her bag. “Would you like some sweets? I have loads!”
