August's ride on the train was lonely.

She sat alone near the front of the train, curled up on her seat near the window. Like some, she slept the entire time in her uniform. She'd changed before getting on the train, knowing she would be asleep. August Rushwood, or as she was called by some 'August Rush', after the movie character, was considered a queer character by most. Her quiet voice could let loose into a bold, stern voice if aggravated, and her ability to play instruments without magic was interesting and muggle-like in some eyes, but August refused to learn how to play instruments with magic. She enjoyed doing it herself too much.

Due to being asleep, she didn't notice the lights going out and back on. After waking up, she stretched, stood, and headed off the train, her lanky frame loping along towards Hogsmeade, curly hair bouncing gently. She didn't really know what she'd do before going to the school, but she didn't feel like going just yet. Yawning, the soft-spoken Ravenclaw looked around at the students, not really bothered by the unfamiliar faces.
