Ophelia yawned as she opened an empty compartment and sat down. This year was... interesting. Certainly not like her parents method of homeschooling, which was basically the 'read from a book and answer questions like little worker bees' method. Apparently that was how schooling went in the old days and apparently her mother enjoyed that way of schooling more than others. Anyway......

Sitting straighter in her seat, the eleven year old wondered where Austin was, and how he was doing. How was the twelve year old handling going back to his mother and sister? Was he okay? The Ravenclaw felt her stomach clench as she thought of going home to a very sick family member. Except, that might have been hunger. The girl hadn't done much eating at the feast. Nah, the girl had been too busy talking to people and looking around at others. It was a habit. A weird habit, but a habit.

With a jolt in her legs, the girl stood up in the compartment and decided to go look for King Blue-Eyes, as he was affectionately named, but after a second of thought, slumped back down in her seat. That would come later, along with saying goodbye at the train station and saying hello to her parents and many, many siblings. 'Ophies birthday was coming up soon. *cough cough* parents *cough cough*

Opening a book that she was carrying, the freckled girl began reading quietly, quite sad to be leaving. Even though the year was weird, it was still fun. She made friends, got to have a food fight in a classroom, and got to learn a bunch of weird and fun things in classes. And it should be more fun next year when Ophelia actually knew what she was doing.
