[color=fff200]"Mom! Dad! I'm going to be fine! I've went to this school for four years already; Year 5 is literally going to be a piece of cake!"[/color] Halle moaned as she stood outside of King's Cross Station, a wide range of luggage and a cage with a grumpy owl surrounding her. [color=aba000]"You don't have to worry about me."[/color]

Her mom remained unconvinced. [color=f26522]"Dearie, I'm just worried...there's so much that we don't know and we can't help you with out here. What if-"[/color]

[color=f7976a]"Miranda, she's going to be late."[/color] Alexander spoke up, eyeing his wife. 

Her mom sniffed and joined her husband to give their daughter a hug. [b][color=f26522]"Well...make sure you write back, alright? We'll see you for break."[/color][/b] And on that note, the two entered their family minivan and drove away. 

Halle dragged her luggage into King's Cross Station. For the most part, she blended in well with the rest of the Muggles, though Gawain earned a few stares here and there. Halle moved past and, recalling very confused memories from her first year, marched straight into the wall between Platform 9 and Platform 10. 

Entering Platform 9 3/4 brought back a myriad of pleasant memories about Hogwarts, but she had no time to waste- her parent's goodbye speech has cost her valuable times and by the looks of it, she was going to be late. Halle rattled along, pulling her large amount of luggage across the station towards the dutiful, shiny red, steam locomotive, the Hogwarts Express. Halle yanked her luggage onboard, hardly minding the gap, and giving Gawain a sudden shake, which caused him to caw angrily. 

[color=fff200]"Calm down, you. Now, where to sit?"[/color] Halle looked up and down the train. The Slytherins were out of the question for sure- even with Piper, Halle didn't feel quite comfortable sitting with the House of Slytherin. Not Day 1. On the other hand, Halle felt almost [i]too[/i] comfortable sitting with the Hufflepuffs. She loved every member of her house dearly, but House Hufflepuff was going to be there every day when she went to the common room. That left two other houses. Halle dragged her luggage and, after a brief scuffle, dropped all her bags. [color=fff200]"Better idea."[/color] She whipped out her wand, pointing it determinedly at her luggage. [color=fff200]"Locomotor!"[/color]

The luggage, like it had a mind of its own, rose up from the ground and diligently followed her. Halle, relieved, grabbed hold of Gawain's cage, which she didn't trust the magic to handle, and strode down the aisle, towards the compartment where a bunch of Gryffindor girls were sitting. Gryffindor, Halle's 2nd-best House. 

[color=fff200]"Hey, you guys have a spot?"[/color] Halle asked to one girl with flaming red hair. 

[color=ed1c24]"We can probably squeeze you in. Those Slytherin girls, they almost filled up all the spots in here. Those snakes..."[/color]

With a gut feeling on who one of those snakes were, Halle thanked the girls and moved past. Joined by her flying luggage, she moved past into the end of the train, where Ravenclaw seemed to be concentrating, along with a certain Slytherin girl that Halle cherished. 

[color=fff200]"Piper! Is there room back here?"[/color] The question was somewhat unnecessary, because their clearly was room back there, and Halle didn't wait for an answer before directing her wand towards the upper compartment for luggage. All of her necessities flew into the compartment awkwardly, remaining half-jammed in. Close enough. Halle held her last possession, Gawain's cage, in her hand.[color=fff200]"Did you have a nice summer?[/color] 

She also looked towards the other two people present in the caboose- Dame, who was gazing dreamily out the window, and Jaxon, who was standing with Piper. [color=fff200]"Nice to see the two of you, too,"[/color] she said as she pocketed her wand and gave the two a wave. [color=fff200]"Hope you had nice summers, too."[/color]
