Sere had never felt this nervous before. The journey home had only just begun. The choo-choo sound after the smokestack emitted a puff of white smoke had just heard. This feeling was still too much for the girl even though she had tried to not overly suppressed her feeling throughout this year. "I didn't expect anything worse than my feeling back then on the first duel, but this is clearly the worst." Sere rubbed her pounding left chest with her right hand for a few moments, before shifting the same hand to grip the pencil she always brought together with her beloved diary. "Just write, Sere. Calm yourself." She took some unrelaxed breaths, her legs fidgeting restlessly.

She finished writing her diary despite of the condition. Buddy, in his cage beside her, hopped here and there, as if sensing his owner's nervousness. Sere put her diary back in her satchel and took Buddy out of the cage, placing him on her lap, stroking him slowly. "I'll be fine, right, Buddy?" The mist hopper's gray eyes stared back at the Gryffindor girl, so clear that Sere could see herself in the orb. "You're right, we'll be fine." Sere resting her back and head, gazing out at the beautiful scenery.

Just think about the good memories you've got in the school, Sere. You'll get the same at Grandma's. She kept saying to herself that she would meet her grandmother, not her parents. All is well.

Holding the same position for around quarter of an hour, drowsiness began to creep in. She could see Buddy sleeping comfortably in her lap. The owner finally closed her eyes too. "All is well." She murmured the sentence -that sounded like a spell right now- once more before finally entering the dreamland.

"Be the main character of your own life."
