Maeve Kelley hurriedly boarded the train for Hogwarts, having almost missed it. She always seemed to be running late for things. Or running into things, she thought as she almost collided with an attendant scurrying down the aisle. Maeve dragged a heavy suitcase behind her, having had no time to store it beneath the train.
She wandered down the aisle, looking for an empty compartment. They were all full of course, and she cursed herself for being so disorganized. Just when she thought she'd have to settle herself in the middle of the aisle, she noticed a compartment containing two boys who looked her age and a girl with red hair, quite similar to her own.
Maeve took a deep breath and tried to flatten the slightly-fuzzy auburn hair that had crept out of her plaits. She caught the reflection of her clear blue eyes in the window in front of her before she opened the compartment's door.
"Is there an extra seat in here?" she asked, and carried her bulky suitcase in clumsily after her.
