The start of a new school year alway beings unexpected surprises, awesome memories and of course... supply gathering! The students of Hogwarts are collecting their supplies from Diagon Alley as we speak, spending their money as they see fit. After this, it's to the station to find Platform 9 3/4 to board the Hogwarts Express! However, a rather disturbing piece of news has just emerged. Apparently the train stopped on its first trip to Hogwarts and shook from side to side as explosions wrecked havoc from within. The cause is unknown, but families are still assured their children are safe.

Serena tugged her trunk down the crowded corridors, stopping every now and then to gaze out the window at the ever-changing scenery. She pushed open a door and looked inside, to see that it was full. Or at least, full in her opinion. There was one person inside. She pulled her head out quickly, and continued down, finally coming to a completely empty cabin. She placed her patched bags inside and sat down in the corner, pulling a pen from her pocket and starting to doodle on her hand.

The train whistle echoed around the whole train as the brakes creeched slightly. The train zoomed around a large bend in the tracks, over a massive bridge and through a forest. All the time while this was happening, the train wheels clanked as they went round and round...
There were calls from excited children that walked through the passage to the guest area and back to their "cabins". The cabins were only really needed for overnight trips but they didn't happen all that often so at this time people were walking around and getting to know each other.
