Hogwarts, Here we go again

The next morning was a struggle. Taylor had a hard time getting out of bed so early once again. Her grandma kept knocking and knocking until she got a response. "Yeah yeah I'm coming"
She grumbled as she threw her blanket off her. She happened to slip and she plopped onto the floor.
"Is everything ok in there?!"
Her grandma yelled from the hall. "Yeah. Yeah! I'm good" she replied as she stood up and stretched out her arms. She also let out a big yawn as she walked to the bathroom.
"Time to get ready"
She said in a sing song voice as she brushed her teeth and washed her face. She raced back into her room and got changed quickly as time kept ticking. She gathered up some stuff and shoved it into her trunk. "I think that's good. Let's go Nibbles"
She grabbed her owl and dragged her trunk along with it and walked down the stairs and over to the door. "Ok then let's go" her grandma said and they walked out to the car. She placed her trunk into the back and got into the front. Her grandma started the car and Taylor turned on the radio.
"In the night the stormy night she'll close her eyes. In the night the stormy night away she'd fly! And dream of para-para-paradise. Para-para-paradise"

The music blasted from the speakers. Her grandma was about to turn it off when she stopped her. "I like this song"
She said with a sad smile. "I can relate to it" she thought to herself. The song played on and Taylor laid back in her seat and listened to every word, understanding every word.
When they arrived to the train station it was perfect timing. The song ended. She got out along with her grandma. She ran over to a rolling trolley and grabbed it and rolled it over to the car. She packed her trunk onto it along with the owl and they took off inside.
"How do you get to the Hogfarts express again?"
Her grandma asked as they made it to the area between platforms 9 and 10.
"It's Hogwarts and I have to go through that wall" she explained. Her grandma looked amazed. "Good bye now" she said and hugged her. "Bye Grandma. Tell Grandpa I said good bye too!" And with that Taylor walked innocently through the wall and made it onto the platform.
There was no one on the other side. She boarded the train and once she did it started to move. She looked through all the compartments looking for the perfect one although they were all the same. She sat down at the one fourth from the door and sighed. She'd be going back to Hogwarts. Alone again.
Tears came down her cheeks but she held it in, so there was no more flow.
"I missed breakfast" she muttered as her stomach growled. Taylor got up and decided to go find some food somewhere in this ghost town of a train. She felt so alone in the almost empty train and she also felt empty inside her soul.

She walked and walked until she found an old lady sitting at the back writing on a price of parchment. "Hello um, could I get some food?"
She asked and the lady looked up. "Of course dear. Just go to your left and pick out anything you would like." She directed her and Taylor thanked her. She turned to her left and went into the compartment. There were boxes of sweets and pastries and she took a whole bunch. Slowly she took her time walking back to her compartment. "Want some?" She asked Nibbles who nodded eagerly. She threw a piece of her pastry up and into her owls cage who caught it in her mouth and gave a small hoot which sounded like she was happy.
Taylor looked out the window at the moving trees and hills.

After just sitting there doing nothing boredom took over her and she fell asleep, her head on the window. She was awoken to a sudden stop. She looked out the window and saw she was in the village by Hogwarts. "Here we go again" she mumbled and got out of the train.

The path up to the castle was muddy and a bit slippery. But Taylor managed not to slip or get dirty. But it was a struggle to carry her trunk and owl at the same time while also going up a hill.

She entered the castle and saw students walking up and down the corridors. It must've been breakfast time.

"When do you think she's coming back?"
Oliver asked Percy as they made it off the stair case before if could move again.
"Right now"
Percy answered.
