(Are we waiting for @"channel_emzie "? I don't want to write something and then have everyone go off on me.)

Please don't wait for me. Just carry on and I'll be there.

(I'll start this again:)
(To Rowan) Melissa opened her mouth to speak but swallowed her words. She hesitated for a moment before saying, "My parents think that I'll be in Hufflepuff, but I think that Slytherin sounds like an interesting house. And I do know a little bit of sign language. Maybe you could teach me some?"

"Yeah," Rowan signed to Melissa, hoping she could understand.

(Well let me fix that then.)
The train came to a halt.

(And we're there.)
Rowan looked out the window to see a huge castle. She opened her mouth in awe.

Alan stood up. "When we get off the train, the first timers head for the groundskeeper (Hagrid?). He'll take you across the lake."

Okay, Rowan wrote on her paper.

Eilidh was jolted awake by the train coming to a stop.

"Want to walk together?" Melissa signed hesitantly to Rowan, not sure if she was exactly right.

"Yes!" Rowan signed back and nodded her head excitedly.

Melissa smiled. She'd never had a real friend before! Not including Thomas, but he didn't count anymore. Let's go.
(Changing my format: Italics are signing, "and quotations are regular talking!"

"You first," Rowan signed back.

Helen stood up and gathered up Fira and the snacks she had bought. She made her way out th door and down on to the platform.

Melissa lead the way out of the compartment and down the hall. Outside, a massive swarm of black-clothed kids greeted the girls. Melissa felt utterly lost until-
"First years! First years over here!" A giant man with a large bushy beard - That must be the Hagrid that Alan was talking about - held a lantern high and waved.

"We go over there?" Rowan signed to Melissa. Everything was overwhelming for her and she wanted some certainty.

Helen walked over to the carriages that pulled themselves and climbed inside with some other girls who she didn't know. She stroked her tiny owl through the bars of her cage.

I guess, Melissa signed back because it was too loud to talk.

"Okay," Rowan signed and began heading towards the large man.

Oh No Eilidh thought as she ran out of the train. She couldn't believe that she fell asleep and no one woke her up.

Helen saw a girl running off the train and waved her hand to her. "We have room over here!"

Finn got into the carriage for the prefects. He had learnt last year that no-one else could see the horses pulling them. After that, he had studied and learnt that they were called Thestrals, and were only visible to those who had seen death. It brought back unpleasant memories whenever he saw them.

"Oh thank you." Eilidh ran to the last carriage and climbed up, "I'm sorry but I don't know your name?"
