*Leigh reaches over and rubs his hand*" I think that's great,"she says to him with a smile."You're following your dream, which is great."she says to him."Would you let me read any?"she asks with warm eyes and smile."I love to read poetry and the like."she tells him.

Jay"s heart lifted as he looked up at Leigh, "really, you promise you won't laugh, some of them are just silly little things I scribbled down"

"Not at all,"she says as she smiles at him."I wouldn't laugh."she says solemly

*Leigh looks up and smiles at John, and then Wyn*

"well," Jay said, "remember back in the train, when you guys allleft me alone, I was sitting there just staring out the window and I started hear, no feeling the train's rythem, 'clackity-clack, clackity-clack, and I started scribbling this," Jay hands Leigh a parchment and she begins to read

Clackity-clack, the trains on track, it’s bringing the Hogwart’s students back.

Made of steel and wood, and powered by steam, the Hogwarts Express is the train,
That brings students to Hogwarts, first years through the seventh and carries them back
home again.

It begins it's great journey from dawn until dark full of first years with anticipation,
you receive your instructions, proceed down to London, platform nine and three
quarters, King's Cross Station.

Clackity-clack, the trains on track, it’s bringing the Hogwart’s students back.

Upon your arrival, you notice no platform, exists between those nine and ten,
but, when guided by wizards, you notice the portal, and when no one is looking you
then.

Pass through the stone wall and exit beyond, to find truth to what others have said,
the most beautiful site that you've laid eyes upon, full of steam, painted black and red.

Clackity-clack, the trains on track, it’s bringing the Hogwart’s students back.

You find yourself joining the other first years and those students who've been here before,
you find empty seats til the cabins are full and the engineer shouts, "all aboard."

With a belch and a jolt, lots of smoke in the air, sweet London starts fading away,
up to speed with a clatter, you settle in tight, for a journey that takes a whole day.

Clackity-clack, the trains on track, it’s bringing the Hogwart’s students back.

Later on you feel hungry and ready to eat, there's a trolley full of wonderful things,
like licorice wands and chocolate frogs and Bernie Bott's Every Flavor Beans.

As the day moves to night, and you change to your robes you'll see faces both young and
old,
there's been teachers and prefects, who've walked down those halls, and
dementors, one year, I was told.

Clackity-clack, the trains on track, it’s bringing the Hogwart’s students back.

You arrive into Hogsmeade at the station in town, as the train slows down to a stop,
you are greeted by Hagrid, see breathtaking mountains, your in awe of the castle
on top.

So many before you and many behind, take the journey to Hogwarts and back,
and you'll never forget how you got there, 'board the steamer of red and black.

The train's on…track…hear…..claaackity-claaack, it's…bringing…the…students……of……Hogwarts………..baaaa aaaaaaaaack….sssssssssssssssssssssssssss….

Jay look at the others to see if they're laughing...

"Thats really good Jay!"says Leigh with a smile."Very very well written,"she says as she looks down and skims the paper again."Really? We are?"Leigh says when Wyn says so."Wow, that went by fast!"she says."But this is really good Jay! You guys should read it."she says to John and Wyn.

Jay quickly draws a breath, "oh I don't know...." worried abut how they might tease him, but it was too late, Wyn grabbed the parchment

"I think they are really good,"she says with a smile."Gosh I can't believe we are almost there."Leigh says outloud."Out last year..." her smile fades into a sad nostalgic look. Leigh thinks about all the things she has done over the years and what life will be like after her last year.

"thanks, Wyn" says Jay, "it's not so much that I doubt myself, it that I don't think I can stand up to my father about this", Jay turns to Leigh, "I really appreciate you listening to my babbling I didn't realize how quickly we got here", Jay folows John out and helps the ladies out

*Leigh gets out of the carrage and walks up beside John*"Thank you Jay,"she says as he helps her out."And I'd listen to you anytime."she says with a smile."Gosh, we are here..."Leigh says absentmindedly as she walks up the stairs.

*Leigh walks up beside John and gives him a confident smile as her insides flip flop over the excitement of another year, that happens to be her last*
