Robert walked along the platform with his mother and father. Both were tall, light skinned, brooding pure-bloods. He pushed along his trolley which had a trunk that housed his school uniform and other essentials. Perched on that was his Quidditch broom and a cage where his owl, Henrik, sat. The platform was already bustling with other students from the academy, ranging from nervous-looking first years to intimidating seventh years. Robert was somewhere in between, a fifth year. As he passed a student from Gladium, he remembered that not many students from the school liked him. He was only popular amongst those from Viserious house. Robert grinned at the Gladium student before his mother spoke. "Remember Bobby, try to be nice this year. We can't deal with complaints from other parents. Got it?"

"Yes, mom." Robert smiled at her and planted a kiss on her cheek.

He hugged both of his parents before boarding the Zephyr with his belongings. Robert pushed the trolley along, eyeing the carriages in the train, of which seemed to be all full. He finally spotted two students from his house and caught up with them. They talked about the summer and school and everything in between. They all continued along the row of carriages, but they all seemed to be full. Robert sighed before they finally saw an empty carriage at the end of the row and they called it. Robert stashed his stuff in one of the overhead compartments before sitting down and putting his feet up on the seat opposite.

"Wake me up when we get there." Robert said before folding his arms and closing his eyes as the train began to move out of the station.
