First train ride, an empty car
Holly had just said goodbye to her parents after they had come to see her off on her first train ride to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the school that she would be attending for the next seven years of her life
She definitely wasn't nervous, nope. Not at all
Her parents had told her the basics of the school of course, but they had also told her that part of the fun was learning about it by herself
Which left her wondering exactly what her school life would be like
She boarded the Scarlet train after waving goodbye to both of her parents, she walked down the length of the train, peering through the windows of the compartments as she passed, most of them were filled with the sounds of chattering excited students
Towards the other end of the train, there was one that was empty and she stepped inside, placing a few of her things on the floor as she sat on the seat next to the window. She was about to pull out her notebook but she looked up again when the door slid open, her grey eyes took in the person who was standing there, a look of curiosity on her face

First train ride, an empty car
Interacting with @Holly Bliss
Anja hated the cold, formal embrace her mother had given her.
She had waved her off, almost indifferent, and now Anja watched her walk away, with disdain, from the Muggles in King's Cross Station. Anja turned around, readying her trolley and body for the barrier. Walking towards it calmly (she always felt that confidence and surety of step were the way to go), she passed through the barrier and onto the busy Platform 93/4. Surprisingly, not many gave her strange looks. Nobody whispered about how her father was in Nurmengard, and nobody actively shunned her, as many of the human staff at her estate had. She pulled her trunk off the trolley. Her housemaid had put a shrinking charm on the trunk, so that when she touched it, it shrank to the size of a large briefcase. Her maid had also taught Anja how to enlarge it again, but she hoped she would't need to, and the Hogwarts elves would do that.
Anja hunted for an empty compartment. Sitting with others didn't seem to be an option for her, so she progressed down the train, further and further, until she reached the end. The people in compartments had thinned, and she realised that she better pick one with a single person in it.
She swung around into the doorway of a compartment almost at the end of the train, and saw a girl sitting there, alone. She had a notebook out, and her bag sat next to her on the seat. Anja flipped her trench coat around, taking a seat on one of the benches. She studied the girl for a moment with her piercing gaze, the spoke. "My name's Anja. Anja Murtaja. And you are...?" Anja waited for an answer.
