First impressions (Open)
Having said goodbye to my aunt and uncle for the like 100th time and having entered Platform 9 3/4 by running through that stone brick wall, of which Yelena was quite frankly pretty scared, not because she was scared of hurting herself, if it wouldn't work, but rather since she was very scared of embarrassing herself by running into a wall like some kind of crazy person, which luckily didn't happened, after opening her squinted eyes again, she found herself on a new platform, surrounded by many wizard parents giving their children last advices before letting the onto the train and also many excited children talking to each other about what they would do first when getting to Hogwarts. She felt a bit out of place, since she didn't really have anyone to talk to or get advice from, but she decided to not let that bother herself one more minute. Instead she confidently walked up to the train, but then suddenly stopped, since she realized, that she wasn't exactly sure where to put here luggage. So instead of asking someone, she decided to wait until some other kid would handle their luggage the correct way, and then follow them in doing so. After waiting for about a minute and nervously checking if her ticket to the Hogwarts Express was still in the pocket of her jacket, where she had put it, she saw one of the kids, seemingly her age, taking their luggage into the train with the help of their mum, so she decided to silently follow them and even though she struggled a bit getting her luggage trolley into the train, was able to follow the kid, after his mum had left, after Yelena had gotten her luggage onto the train. When she saw the kid greeting his friends, wherever he had time to find friends before entering Hogwarts, and then putting their luggage onto a luggage rack above their seats, she was pretty relieved, since she had a already feared that the luggage would now somehow magically disappear and she wouldn't know what to do with hers. After walking past the kids department, she decided to just walk until she'd find an empty department and when she finally had found one and put her luggage, with some struggle, onto the luggage rack, she decided to just read some pages in one of her school books called "The History of Magic", until the train would take off. When it finally took off, she felt a sense of excitement, but also fear, regarding what would except her and all the other students, when they'd arrive at Hogwarts, but she decided that, instead of losing herself in her thought all over again, she would continue reading the book, since it was indeed pretty interesting.

Reducio
Interacting with: @Yelena Kostornova
Anna said Goodbye to her mom and went through the brick wall. It was true, the wall opened up a new platform. She never visited the Wizarding World before the Diagon Alley. It was fascinating. She also collected some other magical items too, they looked crazy yet attractive. Well, she removed those thoughts for now and made her way to the Hogwarts Express. With very difficulty, ofcourse, she was able to push her trunk inside. When she was finally inside the train, she was dumfounded. It was miraculous. She went from compartment to compartment and atlast found one, it consisted of three students.
"Well, the journey won't be quite boring." Anna thought.
They talked and chatted and played. It was amazing. Atlast, when the train's speed was slowing, Anna got to know it was time to go. She pulled her luggage down from the rack above and went near the exit door. She knew quite well that the crowd will be soon gathering. She waited for someone to join her. After a long time, a girl came. The train was about to stop by that time. She was holding a book, which Anna guessed as the "History of Magic".
"Hi, I am Anna. Who are you?" Anna asked, sweetly. She was a bit talkative but also shy. She wanted to make some friends and that's why started the conversation first.
Anna waited for the reply, quite patiently.
