You know talking to yourself is a sign of mental illness right? a nitpicky voice inside his head said.

Tobi ignored it and continued smiling.

This year would be different. This year he was a Seventh Year. He was on top of the pile!

Jeeves, Aggie’s Scops owl, was hooting up a disgruntled storm as they walked down the hallway of the train. “Now stop it Jeeves,” she said shaking a finger at him. “Once we get to Hogwarts you can get out and hunt all the chipmunks you want.” That seemed to satisfy the tiny owl who tucked his head down into his shoulders and settled in to sleep.

Aggie spun, avoiding hitting a young boy walking down the hallway with Jeeve’s brass cage. “So where should we sit?” she asked her owl who didn’t move from his hunkered downness inside his cage. “Alright fine, I’ll figure it out. You just - - just sleep.” A soft hoot was her response. Aggie rolled her eyes. Owls could be so grouchy.

Aggie peered into a few compartments, most of which had one or two people in it. She kept walking, used to having to find either a place to squeeze into (when she got to the station late) or find herself a nice empty place to hunker down with a good book. She passed by another compartment then paused and backed up.

She peered inside to find that Tobi’s lengthy form was taking up an enter side of the compartment. Well, that would just not do! Aggie slipped into the compartment, set her ornery owl down in a corner so he would slide around too much and then stood, towering over Tobi’s head for a moment with her hands on her hips. Her purple tennis shoe clod foot tapped the ground gently as she thought of what to do to him.

After a second, she simply turned around and without a word, sat right on his stomach.
