I can't believe I have three people following my story! Cries anime tears of joy. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

The reason I chose to write this particular cross-over is because I always thought that the Hogwards Express is a magical train engine. The only magical train engines around are the ones from the Island of Sodor. Therefore, H.E. comes from there. Why I made her all grandmotherly and stuff? Well Gordon is an Express Engine like the Hogwarts Express. If you read any of the history written about our favorite train engine, you know that she's been around a long time. Why do I refer to the Hogwarts Express as she? Simple, it comes across as a female type, and it's sort of traditional to call vehicles with a female pronoun: like ships and cars.

On a more personal note:

I have a cat named Gaara-hime. (she started off as a he. . hey, I was told the kitten was male.. and is an orange tabby with lots of red in her coat)

I love HP, anime, fanfiction, crossovers, and humor.

Last, but not least, I do have a collection of Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends trains, I think that they're really cool.

Easter has come and gone. One of the few good things about Easter is the candy. I did update Hogwarts Express. Sorry that it took so long, but between College, work, and a paid internship, I honestly had very little spare time. Things have eased up, so I should be able to update more often. Good news! I'm already thinking of new stories. Yes, I will not be a one fanfiction story wonder! What the stories are? I'm not sure, but I want to go where no fanfiction writer has ever gone before.

I do promise to try and update at least one chapter a week if possible.
