    "Steady on, there, mate," said the big man as Heath collided with
    him, and he reached out a hand to keep Heath from falling over.

    Raising his voice again, he called out, "Just leave yer stuff on
    the platform, it'll be taken up ter the school.  Firs' years,
    this way!"

  Kadyn stumbled his way off the train, his luggage, being repeatedly
  battered back and forth. He chuckled slightly, as most of the first
  years seemed to be in awe, at least to him. He waved to a friend of
  his parents, who had just been passing through the station. He began
  to move towards the groundskeeper, who he had seen once or twice
  before out on the grounds of the school, and quickly stopped and
  called back. "Amber, Cyrus, you coming?" Cyrus had grabbed his
  belongings and been sucked into the swirling mass of people. With
  Kadyn's call, he finally managed to get his bearings, and attempted
  to wade through the crowd to Kadyn and the huge man standing behind
  him.
