Alistair looked down at his feet as he got off the train, it was very sudden as he was from one moment talking to his class mates right to getting off the train. It was a very fast day today for him as he was feeling quite overwhelmed but he couldnt let that get to him as he grabbed his luggage, which he had almost forgot. But now after he had gotten his luggage he had quickly got back to the group that was heading down a path to a river, mostly likely to the boats that lead to Hogwarts from what he heard from other peers. The path was quite smooth, probably because it was used every year and had to be tended so no accidents could happen, that would be disaterious... 

Inside the boats, Alistair was nervous as he glanced through the deep dark waters that surrounded Hogwarts, slowly drifting closer and closer to a new world for him. Everything about Hogwarts was amazing for him as he was awed by the large walls and towers that the School had, easily towering the boats as they approached closer. His attention often quickly change from the secenary to the other peers on his boat, and took note that this was a boat full of 1st years most likely as they too were amazed at what they saw. He was in the back of the boat which meant it was less watched over on and he pulled out his wand, before silently saying "Lumos..." before wand could illuminate the teacher glanced down the row making sure the students were safe. His spell of the other hand fumbled and simply flickered before it slowly faded.

He sighed as he put his wand back into his pocket and waited for the boat ride to be done so he could actually practice some of these spells. He was excited to see what he could do with the spells he had written down, glancing at his notebook.
