With a whistle, steam billowed from the chimney.
With a jolt and a bang, the engine rumbled to life.

Outside the window, figures blurred past in a rush;
Inside the carriage, voices swelled and mingled.

Joyful, playful, delightful, cheerful—
The train began its journey

As they moved out of the platform, this very unpolished, rough, and boring poem came into Diana's mind for no reason --- at normal times, for her own pride and self-esteem, she would sit down and try to perfect it --- as a good student would do.

But.

But, this is NOT a normal time, this is the Hogwarts Express, the train, the pass way to Hogwarts! A part of Diana's mind yelled at her.

She haven't got this excited like what? years ago? maybe ever since 7? And this excitement is so so much that made Diana temporarily forgot her overwhelming about the new classes and homework.

Of course --- as usual --- unlike her sister --- she didn't show most of these expressions on her face.

Dalia, however, shown what a happy and outgoing 11 years old should look like. Once they put their stuff in an empty compartment, she pulled Diana out enthusiastically. They walked along the train corridor --- calling old friends and meeting new people.

"Someone really used their only talent well, didn't she?" Diana teased Dalia, after her DEAR sister walked her though half of the train and talked to half of the Hogwarts students.

"And I thought someone muted once you stepped on this train? I didn't know she still know how to speak proper English?" Dalia retorted, smirking.

Diana closed her eyes for a second, "Oh, very interesting... I didn't speak a lot is becau ---"

The train started shaking and braking, Diana stopped talking, looking pale.

"Oops", Dalia seems to realize something, "I didn't know you also get sic---"

The train is now running smoothly again, so Diana opened her mouth and interrupted her sister: "yes yes yes, I get sick with the portkeys, the ships, and even the stupid floo Powder in the fireplaces... now we both know I have train-sick, too, alright?"

She narrowed her eyes and her face turned even paler, looking uncomfortable, "now I don't think I'm that useful to you.. So will you please let me get back to the compartment before I throw up right here?" And Diana left without waiting any response.

Dalia gave a short laugh, yell at Diana before she's out of her sight, "ha, that is a very interesting way to let people know you dear!"
