[color=0072bc]"I don't think they were here for pocket money."[/color] The train was moving again, but the rain did not lift, and the gloomy demeanor that the sky was fighting to let go of, did not go away. The rain pounded down harder than ever, and the trained rocked uneasily as it sped along the tracks, but held itself steady at sharp turns and forced itself from not going over the edges of cliffs as it went.

After around two hours a woman came along telling the students to change into robes. They were almost at their destination, Hogwarts. The students began to grow more anxious as the Castle came into view, the bright lights illuminating the dark, gloomy lake that it towered over. The trained puffed along into Hogsmeade Station, where it came to a halt. The Second Years and up went to a separate pathway, while the first years were sent along a main pathway to a dock, were boats with hanging lanterns waited for them. A gigantic man stood waiting for them on the docks. He had a massive gray beard as well as a mass of grey hair that sat upon his head, resembling a bird's nest. 

"C'mon now firs' years! Hurry 'long now!" He called out to the oncoming students, guesturing to the boats. The first years piled in the boats. They were crammed enough with only two people, but when three and four had to be packed in, the boats seemed about ready to capsize. Somehow they made it across the lake, and into the warm, dry castle. They were led into a hall where the headmistress left them for preparations, leaving them to talk.
