"Bye Papa," Georgia said warmly, standing on her tip toes to kiss her father's scruffy face. She couldn't help but feel like he was so completely out of place standing on the platform. Her mother had wandered away to greet some of her friends from school, leaving Lev to fend for himself. "I'll miss you! Write me often!" She walked away, handing toward the ever familiar train. She couldn't believe this would be the last time she ever boarded the train in order to go to Hogwarts. It was thrilling but also terrifying. Georgia took one fleeting look back at her waving father and boarded the train, noisily fumbling around with her bags. "Oh," she said softly after a thought. "Locomotor luggage." Her luggage promptly followed her where ever she dictated, as if it was a well behaved puppy.
"Hey," she greeted here and there with a short hug or a brief cheek kiss. Elizabeth had boarded the train much before she had and Georgia looked around to see if she could locate the other girl. Having no luck, and very near the end of the train, Georgia randomly decided upon a compartment and when she opened the door it was empty. "Well, this won't be so bad," she said thoughtfully and directed her carry on to the overhead compartment.
Georgia sat down in her empty compartment and had a look around. Perhaps it would be so bad, she was terribly lonely all of a sudden. Peering at her watch, she realized with a start that mother hadn't actually made them late and they were well ahead of schedule. Well, perhaps someone would pop in on her. She could only hope, since, having pulled her bag back down, she discovered her sketch book was in her trunk and not at hand. To pass the time, she lowered the window and signed to her still lost looking father. Did you lose Mom?Yes.
