With Alice's bags on the train, and her snake Minerva safe and sound in her pocket, she set out to find a compartment preferably with kids her age in it. As she walked through the train, she couldn't help but wonder where the older kids were. "Hum.. Quite a few first years here.." she thought to herself. Maybe the older students were further back in the train? Well, even so she ended up finding an empty compartment and decided to sit down for a while and read. Maybe if she saw other older students she'd get up and attempt to mingle, after all, she was rather worried about re-making friends. It's been quite a while since she was here at Hogwarts...
