Izaac wasn't sure what to do with himself once he had left his mum at the platform. So much so that he was feeling a little overwhelmed, and being on his own didn't help. Deciding he wanted to be closest to the grown ups (the driver), Izaac found the compartment closest to the front of the train which was easy as he seemed to be one of the first to board.

Dumping his stuff beside him, Zac wedged himself close to the window and looked out of it frantically for his mum. But he couldn't see her ANYWHERE. Before he could cry about it, he thought about how excited he had been up until now. His new wand. His new school. He was about to meet the sorting hat, for crying out loud! He took a deep breath, and it seemed to calm him down as he searched the crowds again.

He looked for Marsha, too. Anyone.
