He reasoned likely that some kind of bewitching spell to mess with muggle senses would be there, but it was not as if the platform had only a few individuals, and though many were slick moving one by one and waiting for no one to be look surely the odds were more in the favor that someone must catch a glimpse eventually. Further if the bewitching spells caused the Muggles to see something different than wizards and witches how did the muggle manage to  avoid colliding with so many different people? Once you had crossed the barrier it was not as if it was barely crowded, in truth you had to squeeze past large families. Finn wondered as he saw the mass of students getting ready to board if there was a family at Hogwarts larger than his own? As far as students with the last name of Balor he'd count for the seventh attending Hogwarts, but that ignored the Ogdens who were direct cousins of his, and the single Faust as well. Finn had a total of eleven cousins that would be on the train with him. Though aside from his half-brother and sister, they would all be strangers too him.<br/><br/>When he had gotten on the train,<em>only a few minutes before it was due to take off.</em>along with Daniel and Caitlyn, they had decided they wanted to catch up with their older cousins, all of them piling into a single compartment, but it filled up fast and Finn elected to be the odd man out and find one further down the train. He had already read a great deal on how sorting went, and besides though they were cousins Finn hadn't ever really met any of them. So he didn't have the same eager desire to catch up with them as Caitlyn and Daniel did. Instead Finn would tour the train, looking to see if he couldn't find another compartment. Finn had already changed into his robes, which was good because it seemed there wasn't going to be much room for privacy as most of the train appeared to already be filled up. Once or twice he paused wondering if he should press in and ask for a seat with strangers, but each time he decided he'd better wait until he made sure there wasn't one where he could offer more privacy. His fingers tracing the E that had been burned into his flesh struck him as a obvious question that would come up early. Finn felt<em>my father stuck me with a hot brand after I broke his nose</em>, wasn't likely to make for a very good first impression.<br/><br/>Stumbling along the way he'd continue to make his way towards the end of the train, dodging pass the tea cart as he moved. Here and there were other students that he shuffled past, including a blonde right past the bathrooms. It was only as he tried to shift past her without disturbing her he realized that she was taking a photo, hearing the click from her phone. He'd shift a little past her again before turning around.<br/><br/>"Sorry about that," he said with a apologetic look on his face, pulling up the collar of his shirt to better block the E from view on his collarbone. "Getting your selfies out of the way before you can't take pictures anymore?" He asked her. He had read that muggle devices simply didn't work inside the school, probably not as big of a problem twenty years ago, but most muggles or people that were around muggles were attached to smart phones. Addicted to them even on occasion. He wondered if she was trying to get in her last couple of fixes before her phone was left off for months at a time?<br/>
