All around platform 9 3/4 teenagers were hugging each other goodbye, bursting into a fresh round of tears. Abigail had to pinch herself to keep from doing so herself, and hugged all her friends. Alison, Chris, Billy, Brianna, and even Caitlyn and Stephen. Plenty of them exchanged home addresses and such, and moved on to get off the platform. Very few teenagers lingered around the train station, none of which Abigail knew or liked.

"Wait, don't go just yet," Brianna pulled her back by the arm to stop her leaving with Tom and Avery. Abigail gave her a questioning look. "There's someone who wants to speak with you," Brianna then eyed Tom and Avery, and said loudly, "In private."

Abigail didn't know what to do other than look back at Tom and Avery, as though she were asking for permission since she was so used to doing it - if she miscounted those times she'd snuck away. But, Tom didn't seem to think it was a very good idea, and he shook his head.

"No. Absolutely not," he said. "Avery or I must be with her."

"Look, Riddle," Brianna said loudly, making Abigail look at her in shock. Brianna had always been scared of Tom and his friends; she even remembered the time Brianna ran out of the Great Hall simply because Tom had stood behind her. "I understand what is going on. I get why you want to be with her right now. But do you really think I'd let something happen to her? Emily wouldn't either."

"Wait, Emily?"

"You're telling me McKinnon knew all along, told you, who told Abigail, who didn't bother telling me?" Tom growled, suddenly narrowing his eyes at Abigail who smiled sheepishly.

"I didn't think it was important that they knew. What was the harm?"

"Nothing just..." Tom trailed off, looking very reluctant. "You've got five minutes. Hurry up. We'll be here."

Brianna dashed off while keeping a hold of Abigail, kind of like she was shielding her from any danger. Abigail felt as though all these people were cloaking her like she'd jump in front of the next train or something.

They walked over to one of the brick walls and turned around it where Abigail spotted the dark blonde hair immediately with her back to her, just leaning against the bricks. Emily turned around at the sound of Brianna clearing her throat, and watched Abigail carefully for a moment, before letting out a low sigh before stepping in for a hug. Abigail was shocked that Emily had done so, but didn't stop herself from hugging her back.

"I'm going to miss our little trio," Emily choked out in a mused voice, making Abigail laugh slightly. They parted and Emily stepped back a little, not bothering to acknowledge Brianna's presence. "I've something to tell you."
