What: The ride home.
Where: Hogsmeade station, then the Express
When: This morning
Rating/Warning: TBA
The crisp winter air tried its best to worm its way under the warm robes and scarves of the Hogwarts students as they left the castle that morning. The usual jostling and catcalls of those who were leaving for home and the jeers and waves of those staying carried across the chilly air as the majority of the student body made their way into the waiting carriages. Excited chatter and bragging about plans for the holidays kept most of them warm, flushed with anticipation of going home and spending the holiday with loved ones. Even those who were more subdued by recent events, even their eyes held a glimmer of hope and a yearning for the supposed safety and comfort of home.
Outside the station stood Professors McGongall, Slughorn, Flitwick, and Weasley. If something unpleasant had happened, it was not in the stoic or determined faces of the professors, who bid the students to enter the platform and board the train quickly. Once they arrived at the train platform, all was well-organized chaos as professors made sure students and baggage and pets all made it onto the train safely, watching with fond relief as the Hogwarts Express pulled out and headed back for King's cross in a plume of white steaming smoke and a shrill whistle of farewell.
