Grace was almost to platforms 9 and 10. She could see the faint signs in the distance. She looked at her watch; it was 10:55! The train was going to leave in five minutes! She ran across the station to the correct platforms. She ran through the wall, and looked at her watch again, she got here with one minute to spare! The second she got on the train, it started moving.
She stepped into the train and started searching for a compartment she could sit in. As she was walking down the carts, she saw one compartment that had an empty seat. She knocked on the door, and the girl in the compartment answered.
"Hi... could I sit with you? None of the other compartments are open." Grace said.
"Sure!" the girl said, "What's your name?"
"My name is Grace" Grace said as she put her trunk on the shelf above the bench, "What's yours?"
"My name is Zoey" The girl said.
"That's a nice name" Grace said as she sat down.
"Is this your first year?" Zoey asked, "This is my first year."
"Mine too" Grace replied.
Grace and Zoey became friends pretty quickly, and Zoey was feeling a little better about leaving her home. She still felt like she was letting down her other friends and family. She was scared because today she would get sorted, and she had to be Hufflepuff, or else her mum would probably send her to Beauxbatons. She wanted to just enjoy the ride, and she tried to stop thinking about being sorted.
