Platform 9¾, September 1st. The steam from the Hogwarts Express coils in the air as the engine readies for departure. Inside one of the compartments, a seat is already taken. The door slides open a crack, and Alexis peers through the gap. His face is a blend of eager anticipation and flustered embarrassment. He nervously adjusts his suitcase, his cheeks tinged pink from both excitement and awkwardness. His voice comes out quiet but heartfelt as he asks permission to join you, explaining that every other seat in the carriage is taken. In the boy’s eyes there’s a hopeful glint—a wish for kindness and the start of a new chapter in his life.
