Amidst the varying moods of its passengers, the hogwarts express slowly pulled into King's Cross Station.
The swaying of the train as it stopped pulled Lynn out of her mental simulation of Potion-making, and at the same time, woke Hermione, who was sleeping soundly on her shoulder.
"Ha-ah... we're here." Hermione covered her mouth and yawned. Still a bit dazed, she lifted her head from Lynn's shoulder, sat up straight, and rubbed her eyes.
Waiting until Hermione had lifted her head, Lynn stood up and reached for the luggage rack to bring down her and Hermione's bags.
She also helped the three seniors opposite them with their luggage. Having fully woken up, Hermione took her bag and gave Lynn a sweet smile.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome." Lynn nodded with an indifferent expression and walked out of the compartment pulling her suitcase, followed by Hermione and the three others including Maranhao.
Having just arrived at the compartment door, Harry and Ron looked at each other. Ron had a complicated expression as he looked at Harry and said with some difficulty,
"Mate... have you ever seen Hermione look so gentle, so... so whatever that was?"
Harry hesitated for a moment. "Do you mean, so sweet?"
"Ah, yes, yes, yes!" Ron realized suddenly and nodded vigorously. "I was just thinking about how to describe it, and that's the word!"
"Well... I've never seen it," Harry shook his head firmly. "And I don't think Hermione would ever show that expression to anyone except Lynn."
"Tsk, tsk... who would have thought? Gryffindor's famous Miss Granger, choosing love over friends."
Ron spoke jokingly, and Harry immediately waved his hand. "I didn't say that; you did."
"Hey! You can't sell out your mate like that!"
The two boys walked off the hogwarts express, play-fighting with each other.
Inside the platform, Lynn was already pulling her suitcase and waiting in line with Hermione to exit.
When it was their turn to leave the platform, she turned back with Hermione to say goodbye to the three seniors, Harry, and Ron.
"Goodbye Senior Maranhao, Senior Marietta, and Senior Penelopa. Goodbye Harry, Ron."
"Bye, see you after the summer break."
All five of them waved at Lynn with smiles and also said goodbye to Hermione beside her.
"Don't forget to write to us; we'll be waiting for your letters."
Penelope bent down and rubbed Lynn's small head while giving her instructions.
"Okay, I will write to you."
Lynn spoke mechanically, agreeing to Penelope's words with extreme seriousness.
"Mm-hm, go on then."
