The first day back, on the station, was in Fabian's opinion the best day of the year. The worst day, of course, was the last day of term - standing here and waiting to be collected. He loved everything about the first day back. He still felt the same excitement he had as a boy when he'd first seen the train and had realised that it was all true - that he was actually a wizard and he was going to Hogwarts.
He wanted the train to hurry up and leave, wanted to get on board and meet up with Ted and Frank, see Daisy again and plan the Quidditch strategy for this year. Ted was always good for trying a few new moves, or for some good sweets. Hogsmeade soon too which meant Honydukes, and they could try and find a way into the Shrieking Shack and see just what it was that was haunting it. Fabian couldn't understand how other children could ever get home sick. He got Hogwarts-sick.
