The final train whistle blew and smoke filled the station as the train started to slowly move. People rushed to get on quickly and the conductor rang a bell screaming "All Aboard! Last cal for the Hogwarts Express!" Mothers and Fathers, little sisters and brothers too young to go to Hogwarts yet stood back as the conductor rang the warning bell once more. Grabbing the final car's railing. The train began to pick up speed as it pulled out of the station and was finally on the way to Hogwarts.

Magnus had been in a day dream for the while that he was in the cabin and hadn't noticed the other two boys that had entered and even started introductions. What finally snapped him out of his day dream was the train lurching forward. Magnus in the lurch snapped his head around to the other two and so did his owl. "Whoa! Bloody hell!!" He exclaimed as his hair shift to bleach white. His owl screech and hoped behind Magnus' head. "Oh my I am very sorry gents. It seems I was off in a day dream. I umm well Hello to you both and your mouse." He said as he gestured to Felix and Norman the rat. "My name is Cromwell, Magnus Cromwell and this..." He said as he pulled the terrified Merlin the owl around and placed him in the palm in his hand "...is Merlin. Please don't laugh...I realize who I named him after and well yeah. Merlin pricked up in his hand and tried to look tough. "So I am guessing I might have missed both your names. Might I ask you to repeat them?" Magnus asked.
