Emma was thankful she'd worn her basic Hogwarts uniform. Though robes were usually required at all times, the previous year they had allowed students to wear a uniform that was substantially cooler than the heavy robes. She adjusted the black blazer, making the Hogwarts crest shift to just above her heartbeat. The skirt was shorter than she usually wore, but wasn't as revealing as many of her classmates wore theirs. Thankfully her wand could be stowed neatly in a specialty pocket made specifically for it.

She stepped off the train as it screeched to a stop. Students were already flooding the platform, directed toward the carriages that would take them up to the school. She eased her way through the throngs of people, positioning herself near the outside of the platform to direct students closer to the carriages and send first years toward the looming groundskeeper who was loading them into the self-navigating boats.
