The short first year girl tugged nervously at one of her dreadlocks as she walked with her mom to the platform. Her hair was in its usual state, two ponytails, and the band-aid on her cheek stood out with the Hello Kitty faces covering it. Kendall was extremely fidgety, and wasn't so sure what her experience at Hogwarts was going to be like. Her mom, Tina, looked at her curiously as they reached the platform, and looked at her daughter's ticket. "Is this some kind of joke?" Her mom asked, frowning. Their problems were easily and quickly solved, though, when a family of four ran through the brick column. 

"There is no way that I am going to do that, so I guess this is where I say goodbye." Her mom said, leaning down to give Kendall a hug. She just let her mom hug her silently, and hurriedly pushed her cart towards the brick. She would have to hurry if she wasn't going to miss the train.

Kendall walked further down the train, peering into all of the compartments to find an empty one. Of course she was one to talk and hold a conversation, and once you got her talking there was no possible way to get her to stop, but she wasn't all too sure about these kids. They all probably knew a lot about magic and the school already, so she didn't want to make a bad first impression. She opened another compartment and stuck her head in, but then stopped when she saw more occupants. She just flashed a smile and shook her head.

"Sorry, I was just looking for an empty one." She said, and then shrugged her shoulders as she continued. That was the same line she used for all of the other compartments that she had just stuck her head into, and she hadn't gotten any nasty looks. That could be a good sign.
