Jasmin was relieved when Cris invited her to have a seat. "Thanks", she said smiling back at him. She was just about to take the seat across from Cris when someone else entered the compartment. Turning around, she saw that it was Bay, one of the boys she had met on the trip to Peru. "Hi Bay", Jasmine said. "It's good to see you again." She was happy that she was able to sit with two people that she already knew. If the rest of the students at Hogwarts were as nice as these two, maybe the year would be OK.

Moving over to the seat opposite Cris, Jasmine sat down and looked for Bay to follow. Before he could make a move a pretty girl appeared in the doorway of the compartment. She seemed to know Bay and Cris and greeted everyone enthusiastically. After Cris made introductions, Jasmine stood to greet the girl. "Hi Lux. It's very nice to meet you." She hoped that she was off to a good start and would meet lots of new people and make lots if friends at Hogwarts. Looking at Cris, Jasmine wondered how he had so many friends already when he was new just like she was.
