Stella stood on the platform, looking at the train. Pip, her hedgehog, laid sprawled out on her shoulder. It was her fifth year, but she still loved the idea of riding the train. Her mum stood beside her. She gave her a quick hug goodbye, her mother giving her a copy of the most recent Quibbler. Stella hauled her bag onto the train and began to look for a seat.

She noticed a girl that she has seen before with her owl. She is a Gryffindor like herself. She also noticed a bloke in the cab. Holding a red panda? She tapped on the door.
