"Destination Hogwarts. All off," the conductor said through the loudspeaker. James started tossing off bags from the bag compartment.

  "Hey! My books are in one of those bags. I paid two Sickles for each of them!" Rosie complained.

  "Awe Rosie, who cares about learning. I'm going. I've got to get a head start and set up my pranks," said James as he picked up his bags and left.

  "I'm going to go too. I want to meet all my professors," Rosie said as she too got her bags and left. Albus picked up the remaining trunk and bags and closed the door. As Albus walked down the aisle, a boy with burnette hair about his age called out to him.

  "Excuse me! Are you Albus Potter?"

  "Yes," Albus answered.

  "Hello! My name is Lorcan Scamander, son of Luna Lovegood who was one of your father's friends?"

  "Yes. My father has mentioned your mother before in a conversation about Hogwarts."

  "Well, my mother wanted me to give this to you." Lorcan handed Albus a decorated butterbeer cap."It's a charm for your wand."

  "Thanks! I think we should go now?"

  "Yes, but let me get my brother first as he is still gathering his chocolate frogs. They jumped out before Lysandar could eat them."
