From the Ravenclaw Tower you have quite a good view across the lake and towards the station. It was getting dark and I was starving hungry, but I could see that there were shapes all around the castle. I thought that they might be part of the Azkaban guard system that was being installed, in part I was right.

I was about to rush down but the lights of the moving train stopped. It seemed strange because it was nowhere near the station. It stayed there for a few minutes and then carried on. I thought there HAD to be a problem and I should run to find Hagrid and my friends. I didn’t need to ask anyone. By the time they got the Great Hall there were so many stories flying around.

Apparently, there were dementors on the train and it had gone really cold. Harry Potter had fainted but I’m not sure how true that is. It’s possible that after everything he went through last year venom may still be in his body. Percy Weasley was getting people into order because he didn’t like how his HEAD BOY term was starting out. Hermione Granger was fussing over everything. I think she was nervous about her friends but it started getting annoying after a while. Neville Longbottom was in a panic. Draco Malfoy wanted to show that he was the greatest of everyone by staying strong, I’m sure he sent lots of owls to his father.
