Mason Morgan rushed through the passageway and pulled his trolley to a squealing halt, nearly avoiding a seventh year witch. He quickly looked up at the clock over his head and sighed with relief. He hadn't missed it. The Hogwarts Express sat there like it always had.
It was the start of a new term and Mason was ready. He'd spent hours picking out the right textbooks and the coolest robes. He spent some time practicing some simple spells. (Levitating spells on the back of some witch's skirt. Spells to conjure ice after the witch gave him a black eye. Nothing major.)
The train whistle blew and Mason snapped out of his daydream.
"All aboard!" cried the conductor
The last few witches and wizards left on the platform (Mason being one of them) hurried into the train cars.
"Blimey, that train whistle's loud!" Mason said to himself. Apparently he had said it louder than he thought because a group of students about his age chuckled and looked over at him, smiling. The two boys conversed with a girl they were with quickly, then one of the boys called out to Mason, "Hey, we've got some room over here, why don't you join us?"
Mason smiled and sat with them and they began conversing about the new classes and the latest gossip on the professors. "This year," Mason thought to himself, "is going to be fun!"
