However, it was precisely at that moment that the line moved another two steps, so the boy had to forget his plan of sitting down. Humbug. ;__;

Of course, the line stopped for another twenty years after that.
Edric let out an exasperated sigh.
In reality, there had been plenty of semi-empty compartments along the way, but Edric had complicated himself by wanting a whole compartment for himself. However, he hadn't had the luck of finding one that was completely empty yet. He really didn't want to share the ride with someone. That would be… the worst possible thing that could ever happen to a curmudgeon such as himself.

And just as the Gryffindor stood there pitying his luck, a most obnoxious sound began to buzz all down the corridor. It was like the sound of a mosquito buzzing behind a megaphone and hitting an electric light every so often.

What. The. HELL WAS THAT?!
With brows furrowed, Edric glanced around. Was there a giant bug buzzing around the train?! How did the staff even allow such creatures into a train filled with kids?! OHMYGOSH it was a CONSPIRACY!!

He KNEW it. Hogwarts and this whole ride was actually an evil plan by an evil dark lord that was slowly beginning to rise and gain power somewhere deep within the caves hidden in mountains on the count--And then Edric discovered the sound of the noise.

As he glanced around, stuck in the never-moving line and trapped in his thoughts of conspiracy theories and paranoia, the boy caught sight of a rather cheery-looking fellow whose lips and cheeks were vibrating to the rythm of the awful buzzing sound.
So HE was the giant mosquito!

"AHEMM-HEMM-HEMM. HMM. AHEM."
Edric cleared his throat loudly.
I must specify, in case the sound effects weren't obvious.

Cornelius was having a great time. Sure, no one had yet to enter his compartment, but he was humming his favorite song! And if he could say so himself, it sounded fantastic! Just listening to himself hum, it was like professional humming! Was that a profession? If so, he needed to look into that! Cornelius Rune: The Professional Hummer. You pick the song, he'll hum it! Just imagine that kind of career! Thousands of people chanting your name, all waiting to hear the sounds of your hum! Man, he was so ready to take this on the road. Was there a music course at this new school, was there any kind of humming regime he could set out for himself? Professional humming as a career couldn't be thought of as a joke! It takes work to be a professional hummer --

And just as Cor was thinking about his professional career as the world's most famous hummer, he heard an interruption! He shut up momentarily, whipping his head around to look out the open doors of the compartment, finding himself staring down another student who was currently clearing his throat. "Oh! Hey!" Cornelius greeted as he hopped up to his feet, misunderstanding the other student's throat clearing and thinking of it as a way of asking for entry rather than a way to shut him up.

"Come on in!" he said, reaching out an arm and grabbing the disgruntled looking student's hand. All in one motion, he shook his hand for introduction and pulled him into the compartment, assuming that was why he had stopped by in the first place.

"I'm Cornelius," Cor explained, shaking his hand enthusiastically as they stood there in the middle of the compartment.
