Outside of Hogsmeade a low rumbling noise could be heard from the Scarlet Engine Hogwarts Express. The whistle of the train could be heard all through Hogsmeade, siglaning the students had returned for the start of their new Hogwarts year. Here students flood the platform, trying to meet up with other friends before getting into the carriages to go up to Hogwarts. As usual the first year students take a boat up to Hogwarts and await to be Sorted.
