The Hogwarts express I hop out of the family car and hug my parents goodbye. Then I grab all my books, quills, wand, and cat (Grint). I spot Harry, Hermione, and Ron waiting for me at platform 9 ¾. We all rush through the brick wall and accidentally bump into Neville. “Oh sorry-” Neville starts “- TREVOR! I found you” He then spots Sheamus and runs off with him. As we pile onto the train, my brain wanders off into its own land- whos the defense against the dark arts professor going to be this year isn't the Triwizard tournament this year- “blimey, your bloody cats are tearing up the booth” Ron's voice interrupts my thoughts. I peer into the booth and realize that Crookshanks and Grint have ruined all the cushions. Embarrassed, Hermione and I pick up our cats and quietly scold them. We talked for a while then slowly drifted off to sleep. Harry, who never sleeps, woke us up and we gathered our stuff. We rushed out and waited for Hagrid to open the train door. When I stepped outside I felt the familiar feeling of nervous- excited and almost tripped into the rowboat. We rowed off to the school, talking and laughing.
