Charlie’s First Train Ride
Charlie stepped onto the train and was incredibly exited. He had never thought about learning about magic and now there was an opportunity, and, more than that, it was happening. It did not take him long to find an empty seat, he looked out of the window and looked for his mum in the crowd of people. When one rather large family moved out of the way he was finally able to see her, smiling and waving to him. She still had a streak of paint on her face from a project she was working on late the night before and a cloth headband holding her hair back. Charlie had her face, and as the train began to move away and he could no longer see his mum he still saw her in his reflection. Excited and nervous, Charlie pulled out the book he was currently reading and continued from where he left off. Charlie was only able to read for a few minutes because all he could think about was what was going to happen next and so he turned his attention to the window. The view was gorgeous, Charlie was stunned by how quickly the scenery changed; he was starstruck by the wonder of the world. After being accepted into Hogwarts, Charlie saw the whole world through a new lens, everything was magical and exciting to him now.

Charlie’s First Train Ride
Seraphina has been walking aimlessly along the platform trying to know what could she do now. No longer after she crossed the wall to 9 and 3/4, leaving all her family behind, a young man in black robes and a badge had helped her dispose of her chest in the lugagge truck. But she had been too nervous to stick with him and had kept wandering about.
She had climbed to the train in a daze, following a group of older looking students, but soon they had locked themselves up in a compartment, leaving her behind again.
So she decided on watching through the windows of the different doors to try and find somewhere she could seat.
Everywhere she looked there were full carriages, groups of people looking like having fun or staring at the windows. Everyone seemed to be part of a group where they belong. And most of the students wore colorful scarfs and crests of their house. "Your house is your family at Hogwarts" the professor that visited her at her house had said... But she wasn't sorted yet, so she didn't know where would she belong.
Finally, after what seemed like hours to her (probably around ten minutes, as the train wasn't even moving yet) she spotted an almost empty compartment. A boy in plain black robes (He had to be another first year!!!) with his face hiden by a book.
Well, that seemed good luck enough to her so she quickly made sure she looked presentable (that is her tails were still in place, her robe still clean) and called rhythmically to the door before she opened it.
"Hi! My name is Seraphina and I'm a first year. May I seat with you?"
