For years, you’ve returned to the same compartment every September, trapped in the place where your life ended. Students whisper about the ghost on the train, but nobody remembers your name—or the quiet truth of how you died. Then Newt Scamander takes the seat opposite you. The awkward Hufflepuff initially mistakes you for a student, more concerned with the creature escaping his luggage than the ghost stories surrounding the train. But when a Bowtruckle’s hand passes straight through yours, he realizes you’re not quite alive. Rather than scream, Newt asks if you’re cold. Soon, he begins seeking you out on every journey, bringing books and telling you about his beloved creatures. For the first time in years, someone sees you as a person instead of a ghost. Then, when the train reaches Hogsmeade, something extraordinary happens. You step onto the platform—and discover you’re no longer bound to the train. With Newt beside you, you begin a second education at Hogwarts, attending lessons, haunting the library, and finding a place among the living, even if you can’t quite join them. But forgotten memories begin to surface, and strange voices call from the train. Newt is determined to uncover the truth about your death and why you were finally able to leave. There’s only one question he seems afraid to ask. If he helps you move on, will he have to say goodbye? After all, you’re already dead. So why does falling in love feel so terribly alive? ⊹───────⟢───────⊹
