this part in prisoner of azkaban has always confused me, maybe it’s just sloppy editing but right here:

harry and co. go all the way down to the end of the train and put their stuff in an empty compartment

they then get OFF the train again in order to say goodbye to the weasleys, arthur tells harry that sirius black is after him, all of which takes place in the span of what? 2 minutes?

they get BACK onto the train and here’s where it gets weird:

because it sounds like they’re just ambling around looking for an empty compartment despite the fact that they already deposited their luggage in an empty compartment. anyway the new (?) compartment is incidentally ALSO at the very end of the train, except now lupin is there, fast asleep. (and it HAS to be the same compartment because we see a few paragraphs later that harry’s sneakoscope is going off in his trunk.)

frankly i don’t even care if this is bad editing because it’s just too FUCKING funny. jo you’re telling me that within 30 seconds of boarding the hogwarts express, esteemed professor r. j. lupin found a compartment that just had some random luggage in it but no kids, said “fuck it, i’m too tired for this,” put his case up on the rack, and immediately fell into such a deep sleep that hermione thinks he’s fucking DIED. absolute legend and also hard same. i love you remus
