With the luggage and Jinx’s cage in her hands, the fifth year made her way along the train corridor. Since she had met some of her friends on the platform, and spent some time talking to them, she was boarding on the Hogwarts Express later than she usually did. The train corridor was rather crowded, and Gwendolyn hoped she would manage to find her Gryffindor friend soon. Yes. She and Ari had agreed to meet on the train. The only problem was… she had no idea where her friend decided to sit, or if Ariadne had even arrived yet.

The girl walked along the corridor, eventually not looking for her friend anymore, but for an empty compartment. She figured Ariadne hadn’t arrived yet. So, picking a random compartment at the back of the train, Gwen made her way in rapidly, leaving the door a bit open so that, in case she wouldn’t spot Ariadne… which was very likely to happen, the Gryffindor would notice her.

Oh well…

Looks like she had plenty of time to kill before her friend would arrive.

Gwendolyn let Jinx out of the pet cage, and the black furball immediately jumped on the seat beside his owner, who was sitting by the window. ‘Meyow’, the cat made himself noticed, drawing Gwen’s attention towards him. After giving the cat a small pat on his head, the girl glimpsed at the objects she was still holding in her hands. Her sketchbook and Potions elabore. Those should keep her busy for a few hours. Though…

…hopefully Ariadne will arrive soon.
