Stephen was trying to find a compartment in the train but they were all ether empty or full and Stephen was sick of sitting alone, he had already dressed up in the robes and had nothing more to do on his own. Stephen was not used to a train like this probably because the world he came from had stopped using steam trains and the like at least a few decades ago in most parts of the world. Why did a train service run by Mr magic have to run on steam? He didn't have any problem with the actual train he was simply irritated by the pointless waste of time; was it so difficult to give each student a compartment number?
Stephen knew this wasn't the real reason for his irritation, finding the platform was also a time consuming effort and Stephen was lucky he had the sense to arrive early. But the real reason for his irritated mood was Grandfather's stubborn refusal to accompany him to the station or to even tell him how to enter it in the first place!

Stephen still had a hard time accepting all this change in his life, he had seen all the proof he needed to see to acknowledge magic was as real as daylight but this was beside the point; Stephen found it hard to accept that all this existed without him even guessing it, when his powers began to show themselves Stephen began to suspect but he would have never guessed that all of this existed. The greatest annoyance was his ignorance and utter reliance on complete strangers for even specks of information.
His grandfather had at least accompanied him while buying all the wired stuff he would need for the school, Stephen's pride and joy was his wand; the wand was the second wand he had tried out but when he came into contact with it the feeling was not of his world, Oak and Phoenix feather it didn't seem like much but already Stephen felt a bond with it and to him it seemed completely wicked (in a cool way)

Stephen was roaming his way looking for a compartment with at least a few people in it so he could ask them the many questions he still had in his mind to avoid looking a complete fool at the school. On his way he encountered a strange looking girl; she had white hair a bit like his own and probably the reason he had noticed her in the first place. He followed her to one of the compartments and cached a few of the words exchanged between her and the "potters". Again that name "potter" why was it such a big deal? Stephen only heard a few scraps of information from his grandfather about how his uncles were killed fighting the forces of a man named "you know who" which was the problem; Stephen didn't know who you know who was. apparently a man named harry potter stopped him and later on destroyed him. Stephen's father was still killed by the remains of "you know who's" army so this potter wasn't that much of a hero in Stephen's life.

Stephen approached the girl with the white hair and asked her:

"Any room here?" Stephen who was now in the compartment looked around and saw a number of people, he also saw the girl's tattoo which seemed rather cool to him.
