The morning had been spent making sure that Billy had all of her last minute things taken care of. She'd taken care of her purchases a few days after she'd gotten her letter. No, the short seventh year had needed to pick up yarn and her knitting materials, as well as picking up her glasses. Her mother had been fretting, which wasn't unusual. Mary had been checking and re-checking with her daughter as to whether or not she had this item or that with her on the way to the train station. Luckily Sybill was patient, she reminded her mother that they'd checked everything.
While the girl was definitely prepared and had everything she needed. That didn't mean that she was there right on time, in fact she'd managed to delay herself and her mother quite a bit. When the two women finally arrived on the platform, Mary was in a hurry to get out of there. She never had liked the crowds, and she didn't care for standing there on her own. "Mum, I've got it from here. I'll write within the first week. Tell grandmother and grandfather I'll write to them too." She told her mother as the older woman threw her arms around her, mumbling something about luck and NEWTs. It was a bit backwards as Sybill watched her mother leave, but she had a smile pulling at her features as she saw her mother disappear.
"Well, better put this where it belongs." She said to herself, giving a wave of her wand and muttering the proper spell. She didn't waste time, shooting a smile or a nod to those that she was familiar with, she managed to put her luggage where it belonged quickly enough. After that she settled into her chosen compartment, looking around almost wide eyed and curious.
