Default Front Cars


If you are eager to see, be seen, and get to school first, then the front passenger cars of the train are for you. Just like the other cars, a long corridor provides access to the many compartments, each labelled with a letter, available for you and your friends to hunker down in until the train has come to a complete stop. Cushioned seats and large windows, allowing perfect views of the British scenery on your journey, await.

Well, what are you waiting for? Slide open a compartment door and make yourself at home. Place any of your belongings not in the luggage car on the racks above you. Chat with your friends about what you did this summer, enjoy munching on the snacks you bought from the trolley lady, get ahead of the game by reading your textbooks, or take a long nap as the train travels over numerous hills and mountainsides. Whatever you do, exhibit your best behaviour -- the prefects will be regularly patrolling the corridors and poking their heads inside your compartment to make sure you are doing so.

it's either adhd or wrackspurts <3 <3 lily luna's mom has got it going on

By the time Eden finally boarded the Hogwarts Express, she was more than ready for it to depart. Her goodbyes with her brother had been long and, to her profound embarrassment, teary. He was all she had, okay? The knowledge that she'd not be seeing him until JUNE sat in her stomach like a pound of bricks...so one brick. Anyway, the point was she was ready to make friends and do some magic.

Tugging her trunk behind her, Eden schooled her features to hide the physical struggle she was currently undertaking. It was a big trunk and she was a little girl. Work smarter, not harder, the first-year decided to herself, and plopped herself in the first empty compartment she found.

Since she was at the front of the train, she was sure company would find her soon enough. For now, she rested her feet on her trunk and waited.

Quinn dragged his things onto the train, which was a bit more of a struggle than he realized. Trying to carry a potted plant, a satchel and a small watering can while dragging a trunk was not the most fun experience. To spare himself some effort, he thought he would sit in one of the first compartments in the front cars—nobody ever chose to sit in the front of the school bus, so it was probably similar to the school train, no?—but then he noticed a girl already sitting in one.

"Oh. Sorry. I didn't mean to intrude..." Quinn turned to leave, but then thought about dragging his luggage further down the train. He turned back towards the girl. "Would you mind if I sat in here? I-if you're waiting for friends or something I can definitely find a different compartment, but..." Quinn trailed off, looking back at his trunk. "...if you could spare the space, I would appreciate it." Quinn had always been more comfortable around girls, anyway, since he never really related to the boys and their interests, so he thought this could be a nice place to sit. And was part of the reason he didn't go looking for Atlas to sit with.

Ooooh. The anxiety is strong with this one. Eden smiled at the newcomer. Perfect. If she started getting nervous it'd be less obvious. "Be my guest," she said, gesturing to the empty seats surrounding her. "Just know that if you brought snacks I'll be asking for some." She was serious about that. She'd brought a giant bag of Doritos and some money to raid the food trolley, but her stomach was basically an abyss.

The petite redhead sat upright in her seat, trainers swinging off her trunk and onto the floor, and gave the boy a once-over. He was carrying a lot more luggage with him, including a potted plant that she'd be asking about shortly. "Do you need a hand with any of that?," she asked, holding a hand out to help. "I'm Eden, by the way."

"I'm Eden, by the way."
Quinn breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you. I really didn't want to have to drag my things any farther down. And, uh, no, I didn't bring snacks, sorry." He probably should've, though. He hadn't eaten breakfast this morning because he was too nervous about making sure he had everything.

Quinn looked back at his things. He really didn't want to bother the girl anymore than he already had by asking to sit in her compartment. "Uh, no, I think I'll be able to handle this. Thanks, though." Quinn shook Eden's hand, not realizing it was to help with his luggage. "I'm Quinn, very nice to meet you."

He set Violet down in the seat next to the window, plopped his satchel and small watering can next to it, then struggled (but managed) to shove his trunk overhead. Quinn sat down across from Eden with a huff. "Is this... your first year...too?" he asked, pausing for breath in between words.

Eden shook Quinn's hand, going with the flow, and without thinking about it gave him a little side eye as he huffed, puffed, and struggled to put his things away. To each their own. She could see that trunks were meant to go above their heads, but she didn't feel like wresting with hers twice - carrying it onto the train had been enough of an ordeal. So it was a footrest now. "No snacks? Lame," she teased lightly as she pulled out a bag of spicy nacho cheese Doritos out of her bag. "Lucky for you, I've got us covered." For now. A snack trolley visit would be happening.

Oooh. A fellow first year. What a relief. She hadn't met anyone else yet who was new to all this. She wondered privately if his parents were magical or if he was from a normal muggle family like her. She hadn't even been able to tell her parents yet - all their mail was monitored and if she just told them in person with no proof who knows how concerned they'd be for her mental wellbeing. "Yeah, it's my first year too. I'm a muggleborn." The last sentence was said with pride.

'Lame.' Did Eden actually think he was lame for not having snacks? Or was he just thinking too hard? Either way, when she pulled out the Doritos and said he could have some, he relaxed into the back of his seat. "Oh, thank God for normal snacks. Er, muggle snacks, I guess. I keep messing that up."

Quinn smiled. He was glad he would have a friend in his own grade. If she wanted him to be her friend, that is.

"I'm, um... I think I'm considered a half-blood? That's what I was told, at least, but I don't really know how all that works. But my dad's a muggle, and my mom's a... squib? Yeah, a squib. She didn't think I would have magic so she raised me like a muggle, but then a year ago we found out I did have magic, and now... we're here." Quinn sat for a second, then sighed. "Jeez, sorry, I rambled again, I have a habit of doing that..." when I'm nervous, which is all the time, he thought.

Eden opened the chips and took out a set of chopsticks to eat hers with. For as long as she could remember, her family had eaten anything with orange dust this way. She deliberately placed the open bag right between the two of them and used her chopsticks to take one out. She listened with relief as Quinn rambled about being from non-magical stock. He'd be easy to talk to. "It's okay. Have a Dorito. What's a squib?" If Quinn had only known for a year, did that mean he didn't do anything weird (or in retrospect magical) in primary school? She wondered how his parents managed to keep such a big secret from him.

Quinn nodded, a tad surprised at her mellowness. She just took all his talking with a grain of salt and acted like it was normal, which was... nice. He looked at her a little quizzically when she pulled out the chopsticks and used them on the Doritos. To each their own, he thought. He took a Dorito and popped it in his mouth.

"Well, from what I can gather, they're children born from a magical family that have no magical ability. So my mom doesn't have a wand or anything and can't use magic, but my aunt is a witch, so she can. Squibs can still see magic things, though. Like, anything that's been charmed so that Muggles can't see it or are turned away from it, Squibs can still see and interact with it. My mom figured it would just be easier to live as a Muggle, though, so she left the whole magic thing behind. She still talked to her family, though. Anyway, she met my dad, had me, then I had magic. It was kind of a shock to me and my dad to realize that magic was a real thing." It also has been a point of contention between his parents for a while, since his mom came clean. He decided not to mention that part.

He figured he was talking for long enough. "So, your family is all Muggles, except you? How did that go, when they found out you had magic?"

"Good to know. Thanks."

Eden listened to Quinn's story while contemplating how much to tell of her own. Hogwarts represented a fresh start, where nobody knew about her parents or The Events Which We Do Not Speak Of. She hadn't been bullied or mistreated by her peers or teachers back in Durham (anyone who'd attempted to speak about her situation had been, ahem, dealt with), but things got awkward a little too often. Guidance counselors were a little too involved, and everyone knew she had to meet with a social worker.

"It's just me and my brother," she started, fighting back the urge to cringe - her word choice made it sound like they were dead. Oh well. "But he's taking it pretty well, I guess. He's 24. I've always done inexplicable things, and this made them...um, explicable? He couldn't believe it at first, though. The person who brought my letter had to keep showing him more and more spells until he would accept it wasn't fake. He was still skeptical until Diagon Alley. Now he wants to move to the village by the school."

And I'm happy that I know someone who's in the same boat as me. Honestly, I get nervous asking what things are because I don't want to look dumb. My aunt and my mom tried their best to introduce me to as much as possible, but they still haven't been able to cover everything, you know?"

She did indeed know. Every day involved an onslaught of new information, but the 11-year-old took it in stride. "Yeah, I get that. Obviously Elijah - that's my brother - can't be helpful, even if it's not his fault." The ginger took a breath. Time to steer away from family.

"I tried to read the textbooks in advance, but honestly? Half of them are boring even with magic. Though I did hear we get to fly!" Eden glanced at the plant Quinn had brought with him. "So you're excited for Herbology, I bet? Is that a magical plant?"

Quinn took the hint and kept the conversation moving. "Oh, I haven't tried reading the textbooks yet, I figured I would just wait for classes to start. Good on you for at least trying, though." Quinn had heard about the flying from his aunt—she had done it in her own time at Hogwarts and was pretty good, actually. Quinn, on the other hand, wasn't so keen on it. In fact, he would rather not do it at all. "The flying... doesn't sound like something I'd like, honestly. I think I'd rather have my feet on the ground," he said, chuckling nervously.

Quinn turned to look at Violet, pulling it into his lap. "Oh, Violet? No, this is just a regular dahlia from my garden. The letter said we could bring pets, so I asked if I would be able to bring a plant—not exactly a pet, really, but not not a pet—and they said yeah. And Violet is one of my standout flowers, so I just had to bring it. I am really excited for Herbology, though! So many new plants, maybe I'll even be able to take some seeds home and plant some in my garden. You know, I went into Noltie's in Diagon Alley over the summer, and they had these really beautiful flowers called Puffapods, and I really wanted them because they came in all different colors, but then I found out that the seeds exploded if they fell from too high and on top of that they were pretty expensive, so..." Quinn stopped himself and blushed a bit. "Dang it, sorry, it happened again..." Quinn also tended to ramble when talking about things he really liked. This was a big part of the reason he wasn't the most popular back in school, and he was really trying to curb that impulse.

In fact, he would rather not do it at all. "The flying... doesn't sound like something I'd like, honestly. I think I'd rather have my feet on the ground," he said, chuckling nervously.

Quinn turned to look at Violet, pulling it into his lap. "Oh, Violet? No, this is just a regular dahlia from my garden. The letter said we could bring pets, so I asked if I would be able to bring a plant—not exactly a pet, really, but not not a pet—and they said yeah. And Violet is one of my standout flowers, so I just had to bring it. I am really excited for Herbology, though! So many new plants, maybe I'll even be able to take some seeds home and plant some in my garden. You know, I went into Noltie's in Diagon Alley over the summer, and they had these really beautiful flowers called Puffapods, and I really wanted them because they came in all different colors, but then I found out that the seeds exploded if they fell from too high and on top of that they were pretty expensive, so..." Quinn stopped himself and blushed a bit. "Dang it, sorry, it happened again..." Quinn also tended to ramble when talking about things he really liked. This was a big part of the reason he wasn't the most popular back in school, and he was really trying to curb that impulse.
"It's okay. I don't mind that you talk a lot." It gave her more time to eat Doritos, plot, and brood over hypothetical scenarios. Quinn's rambling about flora was even kind of soothing. She found it interesting that he had a plant as his pet. Maybe she should have thought of that. But the really fun-looking ones required proof of age that she did not have (on account of being eleven). Plus she wasn't responsible enough for a cat...so definitely would kill a plant. They seemed needier.

Eden decided to try and balance her talking-to-snacking ratio a bit."For me, I'm really excited to explore the castle and find out what dorm I'll be in. I read Hufflepuffs are close to the greenhouse - I bet you'll be there. I was hoping for Slytherin but got a little grossed out by the pureblood lore and now I don't really care. But maybe we can go looking for a puffapod at school? The greenhouse is supposed to be super nice..."

Quinn had gotten used to apologizing for talking, so he was still surprised that Eden didn't mind at all. He figured he would still try his best to keep his talking to a minimum. She would probably get annoyed eventually.

Quinn nodded when Eden mentioned the houses. "Yeah, I heard about that stuff, too. I don't have a preference for what house I get, but I think that Hufflepuff is the most likely. I don't think I'm brave enough for Gryffindor, and I think I'm just about the opposite of a Slytherin. I don't know if I'm smart enough to be a Ravenclaw, but the Sorting Hat can do whatever it thinks is right and I'll go with it. Anyway, we could definitely see the greenhouses! I already have to go to drop off Violet—the headmaster says that I can't keep it in my room, so I have to meet the Herbology professor in the greenhouses to find a place for it. You can come with and we can have a look around."

Carsyn entered a compartment, tears dried to her face, clutching the duffle bag she used to pack for sleepaway camp. The trip through the platform to get here was just a blur. Her head pounded as though nerves were alive in the form of small moths flying into each other and against her skull.

She felt sick to her stomach.

She collapsed into the seat near the door and slid the rest of the way toward the window. It was only when she got across the compartment that she realized the left the door wide open but she couldn't convince her body to move any more to close it. She sniffled and with a shaking hand, pushed her dirty blonde hair from her face. Oh well... Oh no...

Eden perked up when Quinn mentioned he had a reason to go to the greenhouses anyway. It would be good to get a sneak peek before term kicked off and get to meet a professor outside of lessons. "That sounds perfect, Quinn. Are you going before or after the feast?" And if he really was a Hufflepuff-to-be, it would be nice to have a friend to sneak off to the greenhouses with. Eden already knew she'd have to learn the ins and outs of the castle in order to avoid getting in too much trouble when she was bored. "Do you think there are dangerous plants in the greenhouses? There were a few in Noltie's that looked wicked mean."

Quinn shrugged. "Well, I think I would have to go after the feast, just because of how important it is, but they just said as soon as I could. I don't think I would really want to miss anything at the feast, though, because I don't know what's going to go on. And we do have to be Sorted, so... yeah, I would definitely say after."

Quinn shuddered at the thought of violent plants. He tried to stay away from that part of Noltie's. "W-well, there'll probably be some, yes. But I think they would keep them separate from the regular ones, right? Because if they were just, y'know, out then it would be too dangerous to go in there." He nodded, more so to himself than to Eden. "Yeah, that sounds about right."

"Heard, after the feast, then," Eden said with a nod.

Honestly, maybe it was concerning on Eden's part, but she thought the dangerous plants were extremely fascinating. Observing them raised all sorts of questions, chief among them - how sentient could a plant possibly be? How fed up with being eaten did a shrub have to be for evolution to create the flesh-eating, self-fertilizing plant she'd caught a glimpse of at Noltie's? Was it evolution at all or was a magical person responsible? Clearly Eden needed clarification. She became briefly lost in thought, still mindlessly snacking on Doritos.

Deciding that she'd spent enough time thinking about meat-eating shrubs, the first year looked out the window and blinked when she saw that the sky had darkened some. "We'd better get changed soon...did you see a sign for toilets anywhere?"

Quinn looked out the window, surprised at the lateness. "Oh! We probably should get changed, shouldn't we?" Quinn had stuffed his robes in his satchel for easy changing—and so he wouldn't have to rifle though his trunk for them. He pulled them out, thinking about how good they made him feel when he was trying them on; he took a strange comfort in the unisex uniform, but he wasn't exactly sure why. He peeked out the compartment door. "Uh... yes, I can see a sign for some down there. Let's go, then."

"I'll need just a mo'. You're welcome to go ahead," Eden said as she flipped open the lid of her neatly-organized trunk and picked out her new robes along with an ironed black skirt and crisp white shirt. Her parents had always hounded her to look neat and tidy. She delicately searched through her clothes (taking care to keep them folded) until she found the bag which contained her toiletries, body spray, jewelry and hair things.

"All right, ready now!" Eden stepped out of the compartment. They were getting closer and closer to their destination, and Eden couldn't help but be excited. She was a witch!

Quinn came back from the restroom decked out in his school robes. His heart was beating faster, but he couldn't tell if it was out of excitement or nerves. Probably nerves. "Well, I guess this is like our first step into our new lives, isn't it? Really kind of weird to think about. Nothing's ever going to go back to the way it was." Quinn wasn't sure how he felt about that part, either.

Eden returned with her hair done in a single french braid that lead into a ponytail. She'd spent a lot of time in the bathroom getting it perfect, and the sky was considerably darker outside the train windows as she made her way back to the compartment. She felt a rush of confidence run through her now that she'd gotten dressed in her uniform. She smiled at her new friend when she saw him again. "Looking smart."

She was quiet for a moment after listening to Quinn. He had a point. Nothing would ever be the same. She'd never go to school with her friends back in England, and she'd have to lie to them about her true whereabouts during this time for the rest of their friendship. Who knows when her parents would come to find out. Eden still knew she was where she needed to be. Hogwarts was a long-awaited answer to all the inexplicable, impossible quirks of her childhood. It was where she belonged and she would do everything she could possibly do to be successful there. "I guess this is really it, huh..." She spoke softly as the train began to slow down.
