At Long Last -- open

The end of the year... It was really over. Eleanor looked behind her at the large red steam engine of the ole Express and gave it a half smile. She really would miss Hogwarts... again. She looked back over to her family, her parents, Amelia, and even Edgar. As much as she would miss Hogwarts for the summer, she was glad to be away as well. There wouldn't be curfews and a certain lack of homework.

The Hufflepuff reached down to where her caged owl, Aria before looking up. "I'll be back in a bit, I just need to do something." There actually wasn't really anything that she had to do, but she would at least hopefully find a friend. It didn't feel right leaving without saying goodbye to at least someone that she knew. Even as the thought entered her mind she saw someone that looked familiar.

The person was off in the distance so Eleanor had to force her way through the crowd to get to them. She cursed vividly in front of a family as she tripped over a trunk. The mother sent a withering glare in her direction and clutched what looked like a first year close to her. Hiding her chuckle she moved away towards the person again. Once she had finally reached the still unknown figure her foot twisted and she fell forward into them.

Kari was excited as she got off the Express on to the platform, she had made plans with her friends over the summer and was now excited to spend time with her family. She was also excited at the prospect of travelling which her brother had promised her they would try and do this summer. She hoisted her trunk off the train with one arm and balanced Artemis' cage with the other. When she secured herself on the platform away from the train door, she looked around at the bustling crowd and sighed; it would take her a while to find Caden and Eedie in this crowd. 

Kari was scanning the crowd, trying to find her siblings' voices over the noise coming from the mass of people surrounding her. Her search was interrupted when someone fell into her. Kari struggled to maintain her balance for a moment, but managed to hang on to her trunk for support and pull herself up again. She helped the girl up as well and as the stranger straightened up, Kari realized she was no stranger at all. Kari saw that the stranger was Eleanor Bones a Hufflepuff one year older than herself. Kari smiled at Eleanor and asked "Hi,Are you alright? that was a bit of a nasty spill."
