A New Adventure
As they emerge from the column to get on the train a look of wonder and awe cover her face. The Hogwarts Express stood before her in all its majesty. It was a beautiful deep red and unlike muggle trains it had no graffiti covering any of its cars. It seemed, to her, to stretch on indefinitely. She began to wonder just how big this school was that she was going to.(continued from viewtopic.php?t=25236)
Meris steps back to her cart and follows him through the column with a look of absolute delight when they pass through it. She even squeals.
Children leaned out the windows waving at parents. Parents waved from the platform and continued giving last minute advice, love, and farewells to the children already aboard. These families were no different than her own. It made her miss her own family all the more.
Her stomach twisted with nervous flutters as she considered the scene. Her live had changed. She just wasn’t sure yet if it was for the good or the bad. Nervously she clutched her trolly.
"No wonder I've never seen it before." Meris commented mostly to herself. She pushed her trunk over to the train then turned to help Clark with his.

A New Adventure
@Meris BarovarClark smiled as he walked through the walls. It was exciting and very motivating- and well- it was hard to describe! It was only his first time actually going through it- to be on the other side- the one going away for once. Simon and Ben were lucky- but Clark? He was too young.
To young to actually enjoy something- that was very intriguing to a point. This meant that he would need to- say goodbye- to his parents and if truth be told, he sure as hell didn't want to do that. There was no true need for him to go- he didn't need to learn the spells- or potions- or history on anything. He could just simply learn from home over a very extensive schedule- since his parents were strict about getting work done on time- but at the same time- staying home all the time would be incredibly boring and dull.
It would be exciting to start something new for once! And the girl that he waved to follow him- was present. Without a second thought, Clark ran onto the train and screamed out for the girl to follow him on- and to try and prove that he was meant to be the bravest soul to attend hogwarts- that he didn't need a parent. But then again, he bellowed. "Dad! and Dad! I will miss you!" And without hesitation, he waved goodbye.

A New Adventure
@Clark William Baird-CarterMeris ran after Clark, leaving her trolley in someones competent hands or not. She was to swept up in the excitement of the moment to care whether all her stuff actually made it to Hogwarts with her.
She was also very thankful to have someone to wave to and she also waved at Clark’s dads and flashed a warm smile at them. For a moment, she thought she might cry but, she managed to stave the intense homesickness off as she contemplated where they were going and what it meant.
Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry… the thought ping ponged through her head at an alarming rate. Magic is real. It’s really real. And she is going to learn it.
After a moment or two more of inner awe Meris turned her attention back to Clark.
“That must be so cool to actually be part Goblin!”
He didn’t look like what she though a goblin was supposed to look like. Didn’t act like one either. Who knows, maybe goblins aren’t at all what she thought they were.
“Are there any really cool Goblin things you can do… Like spin straw into gold! Can you do that? -like in the story about Rumpelstiltskin? Is there any chance he’s a real goblin?”
