The Express

Date: September 1st 2026
Time: 6:03 PM



The train ride had been so long the sky had started to get dark. Ivory knew Hogwarts was far away from London, but she never realised it would take nearly the whole day. By the time they got there, students would be sleeping through the sorting ceremony. Ivory crumpled up the pack of jelly slugs they had finished ages ago.

With struggle, she hauled her trunk from the top shelf. Opening it up, she ran her fingers along the inside until she found the hidden pocket. She unzipped it, and took out a pack of Every flavor beans which she had stashed for the train ride. Ivory and her mother had been to a nearby wizarding sweet shop beforehand to gather some sweets for the trip. Her mother had an obsession for stuffing Ivory's pockets full of as much food as she could fit. Ivory couldn't blame her. It came in handy for long train rides and delayed planes. She then put the crumpled packet in the hidden pocket and zipped it back up. Later she was probably going to find a sticky jelly slug wrapper in there but that was a problem for future her.

Yet again with struggle, Ivory hauled her trunk back up to the top shelf before sitting down. She opened the packet before turning to the two girls.

"Want one?" She said, taking one for herself, popping it in her mouth and tasting the strong flavor of lemon.
