Platform 9 3/4

*inarticulate whoop of joy*

YOOOOOSH! That was the best Portkey ride EVER! The street is fairly spinning! OH, to be in ENGLAND, now that WINTER's here! ..Too bad there isn't any snow.

Hmm, I must be early! There are only a few people here, and dawn is breaking in clouds of heavenly gold. Platform 9 3/4 is dim and freezing, but I didn't have time to unpack a coat after my mission. At least I have my flak jacket. (Why is everybody looking at me?) Well, I'll have to change on the train. AND HERE IT COMES! See how it sparkles as it glides into the station! In a minute I shall be reunited with all my honorable comrades. My heart is bursting with joy!

And look who just came through the barrier... could that be someone I know? *rubs eyes* YES! I must greet them with the proper effusiveness!!!

Ah, winter at Hogwarts.

Isn't it marvelous?

((Gai's been at Hogwarts for four years now, and he's VERY excited to be in his last year. ^_^ Feel free to mock at first!))

*strikes a pose on the train platform*

RIGHT! This is a great day -- an iconic day -- for it is the day that I, Maito Gai, have returned to Hogwarts!!

I can't BELIEVE I'm a whole day late. Why did that assignment have to go overtime!? There ought to be a law! I missed all the introductions and first classes! But I'll catch up within a day, or else I shall volunteer to clean the Owlery until it SPARKLES!!!!

*starts up the hill to the castle gates, with four huge trunks floating along behind him*

Why is the place so quiet? Class must be in session. I wonder who I'll run into first...?
