CLOSED Meeting New Friends

She entered the Hogwarts Express, feeling excited. As the train pulled away, her parents cried as they ran until they could no more. She walked around the compartments, looking for an empty one. As she turned a corner, other students were looking for an available compartment, too. "Hello! My name is Emily!" she said. They turned around, to see her. "Nice to meet you, Emily!" said a third-year girl. She had a calming kind of air around her, which soothed all her nerves instantly. Emily said, "So, are any of you Hufflepuff? I really want to go there, but I'm nervous about it." She stammered the last part. "Don't worry! You just put on a magic hat, and you and the hat discuss what House you should be in, although it's not out loud, it's all going to be in your head." said the third-year. She added,"And yes, I'm in Hufflepuff!" Emily felt better about starting at Hogwarts now. She knew that it would be great now that she knew the basics. Finally, they found a free compartment. The group, Emily, included, sat down, chatting about Hogwarts, and everything to do with it. The lunch trolley came around and said, "Would you like anything, dears?" Emily stood up and got everyone some Bott's Chewing Gum and a few Chocolate Frogs. They enjoyed it dearly. The train was getting ready to pull into the station. Robes on, they stood side-by-side while a student from another compartment was asked to take their picture. He consented. The picture was taken. The third-year said, "It was nice to meet you, Emily. I hope to see you in Hufflepuff!" as she grabbed the photos, one for everyone, thanks to a 5th-year using Geminio. "I'll get these to move, then I'll send these to you by owl, OK?" said the 3rd-year. "OK." As they left the train, she was glad to start her magical education here.
