Not that he could do much about it, because he was on the train, and there was honestly no one at the platform waiting for him anyway. So, onward and just ... onward, he needed to go.

Running a hand through his hair, out of a bit of anxiousness, the brunette made his way through the corridor of the train, hoping to find any compartment -- that was empty, but nope. There was always someone in there, chatty first years or returning ones or .. territorial friends ---- eventually he gave up and decided to just go in to the next least crowded one he found. Especially when he noticed there was only one person in there.

"Hey" He simply added with a small tight smile, before moving to sit across her - definitely not bothering to inquire of the girl was waiting on friends or anyone else.

Rowan had managed to pull herself together - she hoped that there was no evidence of red eyes or splotchy skin to suggest she might have been crying. She reached for her satchel and dug inside, pulling out a compact mirror and opening it to inspect herself. Didn't look too bad – it wasn't like she'd cried buckets. Just a few melancholy tears. She popped it away and got comfortable for the journey, using the new jumper her gran had bought her on their shopping trip to Diagon Alley, as a pillow. She leaned against the window so that she could watch the landscape and mentally prepare herself for what was to come.

It was so nice to have some alone time with her thoughts. The calm before the storm of the start of year feast. Her privacy, however, was suddenly interrupted—she sat up straight with a start--when the door slid opened and in stepped a boy who didn't even ask if he could join her! And he just sat. That was... kind of rude. Rowan bristled slightly.. but then hid that irritation with a tight smile in return to the invading person. “O-oh.. Hi.”

Helix, (the black cat in the carrier beside her on the seat), started to hiss at the stranger and Rowan poked her fingers though the cage to nuzzle his face and calm him down. “I'm sorry." She said softly to the boy. "He thinks everywhere is his territory. And he's very antisocial.” Which should be fun to deal with in the dorms of whatever house she was sorted into.
