Ariadne and Remus rushed through the barrier between platforms 9 and 10, which led to platform 9 and 3/4. On that platform was scarlet steam engine which was waiting next to a platform packed with people. A sign overhead said Hogwarts Express, 11 o'clock. She couldn't believe it, she was finally here, about to leave for Hogwarts. She looked up at Remus with a bright smile on her face, her bright eyes shining with joy. She threw her arms around his waist and hugged him tightly, seeing as how she planned on staying at Hogwarts for Christmas.

After stopping the hug, they walked to a spot where she could get onto the train. Remus grabbed her trunk and used a feather-light charm on it so that it could be moved with ease. Ariadne quickly picked up the silver cat carrier she had for the kitten she had gotten, on the carrier was a small plaque that read 'Lyrica' in gold letters. She was ecstatic that she was here and on the train. She quickly found a compartment after storing her trunk up. She had grabbed her robes along with her potions book so that she could change clothes before getting to school.

After a little bit, she was joined by a boy with rather dark colored hair and glasses that seemed to be taped together in the center. Though she was only slightly paying attention, as she had her nose in her potions book. She has always found that the world of potions was rather interesting. Though she has only seen some potions being made, one of which being the Wolfesbane potion for Remus. Not that she would let anyone know about him having to take the potion. She ran a free hand down Lyrica's back gently, eliciting a purr from the small kitten.

She glanced up when she heard the compartment door opening again, this time by a red-haired boy with freckles splattered across his cheeks and nose. She also noticed a small smudge of dirt on the boy's nose, but she did not want to embarrass him by saying something about it. She looked back at her book and was quickly engrossed back in it, though she was interrupted again by the sweets trolley appearing.

"Anything from the trolley dears?" A rather kind looking older woman said. Ariadne set her book down and brought out her money bag and walked over to the trolley. "Two pumpkin pasties and three chocolate frogs please," she said as she handed over the money for the sweets in question. After paying for the sweets she went and sat back down. She overheard that the red head was good, but the other said that they would take the lot. She rolled her eyes slightly as she started to nibble one of her pumpkin pasties.

She went back to ignoring the other two, even though her reading was to be put off for a little bit. Though she was quite confident that she will be ahead of the rest of her classmates. She bit the head off a Chocolate frog and looked at the wizarding card that she had gotten. It was Agrippa, she glanced up when the red head said something about not having one of those cards. She held the card out to him, "Here take it, I don't actually collect the cards to be honest. So, you can have her."

She went back to nibbling on her sweets as the train ride continued. She got up and grabbed her robes and started to leave the compartment, "I'd get changed if I were you, I'm going to change in one of the bathrooms myself. Put the blinds back up once your done changing so i know it's safe to come back." She walked out and made it to a bathroom and quickly changed into her school clothes, finally sliding the black robe onto her slender shoulders.

She made it back to the compartment just as a busy haired girl was walking away from it. She nodded politely at the girl and walked into the compartment once she confirmed that the other two, who she had learned by accidental overhearing were Ron Weasely and Harry Potter. From Remus she knew of Harry Potter, and that Remus had gone to school with both of Harry's parents. She was asked not to make a big fuss over him, though she reminded Remus that she was not impressed by fame or past achievements. She preferred to reserve her judgement until someone proved themselves to be either good or bad. She was going to school with the boy, and the only way for her to be impressed were by him doing good things during their time at Hogwarts.

She felt the train slowing down and she smiled at the thought of finally arriving. Though she knew from Remus that they, as first years, had to cross the Black Lake in small boats. They were to be led across the lake by the half-giant Hagrid, who was apparently the Caretaker and Keeper of Keys for Hogwarts.
