Marlene stepped onto the platform with that butteflies-in-your-stomach feeling she hadn't been able to shake all morning. It was her last first day of school, and she hated the fact that next year at this time she wouldn't be doing this next year. But even this year she felt would be strange; Emm, Dor, and Edgar wouldn't be at Hogwarts anymore, as well as all the former seventh years she had gotten to know over the years. Of course she still had her friends in her year, and she boarded the train in search for one of them. She couldn't find anyone she was looking for yet, so she took an empty compartment in hopes that someone would walk by soon.
