Empty Compartment And A Book
Luna walked aimlessly through the odd train's hallway. A tide of emotions was coming in and out. Fear? Curiosity? Excitement? "I guess I'll have to sit somewhere." she told herself. A little window was on each of the doors surrounding her. Luna carefully peeked through each one- most of them where full of children. Maybe she could manage to sit by them? Oh no, of course not! She'd just say something incredibly stupid. She peeked through one window that revealed an empty compartment. She opened the door and sat down on the nicely cushioned seats. Oh, wow. Very nicely cushioned seats. Luna glanced down at the trunk she had brought with her. She knew very well that it was full of books, books that she better not loose. "Of course it wouldn't do any harm to flip through one of them." She decided to carefully unlatch her trunk, and pull out the first book she could grab. Luna reached down into her dark trunk and felt her hand hit the spine of one of her new books. She smiled to herself, and withdrew it. The leather-cased hardback was labeled "Hogwarts- A History". Ah, quite a helpful book. It's pages would be filled to the brim with information about her new and magical school. Luna's small hand opened the book and delicately flipped to the first page so that she could begin reading.

Empty Compartment And A Book
Grisha arrived at the other side to find a train, with the words Hogwarts Express bolded on the front of it. This is it, he thought, platform 9 3/4. While doing a quick check of items, he watched all the children scatter onto the train. Knowing that they all were like him, well, with magic anyways. It hit Grisha that he was just standing, when over the PA they announced that the train would be leaving soon. There was barely anyone on the platform. Grisha quickly grabbed his trunk, and ran as swiftly as he could to the door to the train cart.
The inside was crowded, and though he was very small, he could barely fit between the people. He managed somehow to get by to a compartment, he rashly opened the door to find a girl sitting and reading a book that read, Hogwarts- A History. Grisha quickly spoke up putting his nerves aside,
"Hello, I'm Grisha, Grisha Moon," He spoke rather quietly and formally. "Seeing as most of the compartments are overflowing at the moment. Would you mind if I sit with you during the train ride?"
