"Bye Daddies! Bye Colin!" Oliver Tate Thomas-Borzekowski gave big hugs to both of his dads and placed a sappy kiss on the side of his brothers cheek before dramatically climbing aboard the Hogwarts Express. He hurried down the corridor, searching for the ideal place to be able to wave out the window. About halfway down he found just what he was looking for. The compartment was already occupied by another boy but Olly did not pay any attention to that fact.
His face was pressed against the window, his nose squished and his mouth creating a think layer of fog whenever he breathed. The first year raised his arm and waved enthusiastically as the train began pulling out of the station. This was his first time away from home for any extended period of time. He was more excited than nervous, but that didn't mean he wouldn't miss his family. He was grateful, at least, that Ellery was with him. Speaking of his sister, Olly turned away from the window when the rest of his family was out of sight. He and Ellery had boarded the train at the same time, but they must have gotten separated at some point soon after that. Olly simply shrugged - he would find her soon enough.
Oh yeah, he wasn't alone in the compartment. Oliver turned around fully to face the boy whose compartment he had barged into. Hopefully he hadn't minded.
"Hi," Olly said boldly, extending his arm toward the other boy.
"Are you excited for HOGWARTS?" He barely even noticed that this boy looked older than Olly himself and had probably been to Hogwarts before. Not that it would have mattered anyway, Hogwarts should be an exciting prospect for someone of any age.
