“I can’t believe it is,” Bryn grinned, practically vibrating with excitement as she followed the other two towards the really tall man - Hagrid. She knew him from what her siblings had told her… that meant they were going to be taking the boats!

“C’mon, let’s go,” she went and dumped her luggage on the pile before looking at her two new friends. “Do you think it needs to be four? That means we need to find someone else.”

Vivienne’s lips curled up in disgust as they reached Hagrid, delicately placing her luggage beside the pile - she refused to have it tarnished by other’s ugly suitcases. “I agree. I can’t believe he’s still here even after all the complaints from parents.”

She lowered her voice. “Did you know that my brother got injured thanks to his teaching, but they didn’t fire him! Can you believe it?”

She shook her head before continuing about the matter of the boat trip. “I hope they don’t force us to get someone else in our boat. It’s bad enough we have to ride those [i]things[/i].”

Gus rolled his eyes as Archie hugged him, but was quite happy to follow his twin out the door. He half directed him over so they could dump his luggage and had a wide grin on his face. He wasn’t quite as visibly excited as Archie but… he still was.

Ben came out last of the four, making sure that the other three got off safely and helping them with luggage as needed. He had enjoyed the journey, even if it had been a bit loud, but he was looking forward to getting sorted and having a good meal. 

“Four? Well, that’s a perfect number,” Gus smiled as he glanced around the other three.

“Shall we get on a boat together, then?” Ben asked, indicating to one of the nearest boats. He waited for responses before getting into it and holding out a hand to help the other three onboard.

“Thank you,” Ishbel smiled as Carter helped her with her luggage, carefully carrying it outside towards where the other students were gathered.

“I guess,” Liqin sighed, but followed the other two out. He kept his camera even as he dumped his lugged, holding it in his hands and beginning to snap pictures. Ishbel half rolled her eyes at him.

“Should we find another person?” she asked the two boys. She then pointed over to a group with two girls, both Asian, and a boy. “Why don’t we go talk to them?”

“I hope so,” Olivia laughed, not quite sure how Saoirse could be so confident. It made her feel a bit better though. She looked around the other students with awe - there were so many! She couldn’t believe how many young witches and wizards there were… she had thought it would be a much smaller number. 

Thanh made sure to stick close to the two girls and they followed them off the train, feeling more comfortable with them than the large number of strangers. Still, they frowned as the tall, bearded man said four to a boat. “Will we need to split up?”

Olivia shook her head. “I’m sure it’ll be fine! We should just try and find someone else who needs in a boat.”

Thanh shrugged. If necessary, they could leave the two of them - they were used to being alone after all.
