Default Front Cars

The driver and snack lady sit waaaaaay up front in the driver's cab, but there are plenty of other compartments up here! Careful you don't sit in the Prefects' cab though.

When the train arrived Nate stepped inside. He looked around to find the nearest cart, and waited for hs cousin, aka squirt, aka Julliette. Then he put his luggage in the holder thingy, and took out his cat, Opie. Opie was a black cat who you'd want to snuggle up against. He started to stroke it while waiting for Julliette.

Melanie boarded the train with a grin on her face. She was finally going to Hogwarts! Right, she was supposed to meet Landon somewhere. Well, she had told him to find her on the train so that they could sit together. She even made extra fried oreos so he could eat them all. No noodles though... because they'd get cold. The fourteen year old slid open a compartment door. Were they allowed to sit anywhere or was there some... seating arrangement of sorts? Unsure, the girl just slipped into one of the seats and set her bag with her teddy bear sticking its head out of it. Surely Landon could find her in one of the front cars... right?

She opened her bag and pulled out a blanket she had brought with her. Because it might get cold... and she might want to take a nap. Plus, it just felt cozy. Melanie laid the blanket on her lap and looked out the window. Hogwarts was just a train ride and a few hours away... that was how long it took to get there, right...? A few hours? Melanie wasn't sure if she could sit still for that long!

Bounce. Bounce-y bounce bounce.

Alice Fischer BOUNCED into the the train. Because she was excited. She got to see her Princess Melon and her two brothers, Donnie and Cobbie. She got to see Blue, her ickle sister, and her pet Ellasaurus/Ellaphant. She was going to get good piggyback rides from tall people like Superman, and really horrible piggyback rides from bad piggyback givers like Messer. BUT. She was going to be back at Hogwarts. Which meant that everything would be okay.

Because she was going home.

Hence the bouncing.

So, Alice BOUNCED into a compartment and BOUNCED into a seat. Frank was BOUNCING on her head, but Domino wasn't anywhere to be found. He had stayed home with her Grandpa, so that he could write to his Ministry people. But he could visit Hogwarts anytime she wanted, so it was okay. The Gryffindor stuffed her trunk into the overhead compartment, and turned around to face her company for the rest of the long journey to school.

Who happened to be one of her favourite people. Princess Melon. Squeeeee. "MEL. Is that you?

Flail.

When Melanie heard the door open, she thought Pobby had found her or something. Not that it would be hard to find her since she was at the very front of the train and all, but it wasn't. Instead it was someone else - Queen Alice. The girl didn't seem to notice that it was Melanie sitting in there though... maybe it was because of all the bouncing the blonde was doing? She had convinced her grandparents to pack her dresses, though not all her stuffed animals, so she was just imagining Queen Alice wearing a pretty dress for something or another.

That was until the girl turned around.

Giggling, Melanie waved her hand at the girl. "The one and only." Because she was the only Melanie, Melanie knew of. "Hello to you too, though, Queen Alice," Melanie added, gesturing to the empty seats and readjusting her blanket on her lap. She moved her bag to the floor too, in case Queen Alice wanted to sit next to her.

YAY! Finally! Time to leeeeave!

Ronnie walked down the corridor of the train, wondering where she should sit. Hmm... Meh. She wasn't gonna walk all over the train looking for friends, she'd just find a compartment up here in front and let them come find her. She was just too tired right now.

She slipped into the first compartment she found and shut the door and put her stuff up. She set Oliver's crate down and smiled at the gray kitten inside. "Hey buddy!" she said as she opened it, patting her lap so he could come sit on it. He slowly made his way out, taking his time to stretch a bit and then hopped onto her lap and curled up, purring as Ronnie began to stroke him. She sighed, looking out the window as the scenery flashed by. She grinned. She could not wait until she'd finally be back at Hogwarts. She could almost taste the delicious food at the feast! Mmm...chickennnnnn...

Walking down the corridor Isaac hadn't seen Amelia all summer and he was completely miserable. He had no idea where she had been, he'd not gotten to Wales, he'd spent almost a month in Australia and now he just wanted to find someone he knew! Tapping on the door, when he saw Ronnie inside, he hoped she was up for company because he didn't feel like sitting all alone the whole trip to school. He was miserable enough as it was.

His mum and given him an owl of his own finally which he'd named 'Sprite' and he was carrying the cage in his hand. It was just a little owl, just a scops one, but he adored it already. He just wished he was in a better mood, he was irritated with the problem with Amelia and didn't know what to do about it, but yet wanted to deal with the fact he'd completely avoided going to Egypt which was even worse not putting his mood anywhere but lower.

Sighing he just entered the compartment and dropped into a seat across from her putting the cage on the floor between his feet. "Hey."

It was unfortunate that Genevieve had only managed to meet a few people in the terminal, and all of those people seemed to need to go to the prefect compartment. What was the point of meeting new people if you just had to go and meet new ones every couple minutes?

And where was Aspen Odessa? She was being a very... hard-to-find friend.

She opted for the front of the train, even though it was far too close to the prefect compartment and visiting dignitaries for comfort. Most of the compartments seemed fairly empty at the moment, and Genevieve slid into the first she found and took a seat.

Cardigan decided to go up towards the front this year. She always kept towards the back, seeing she would want to read her magazines and eat all her candy without anyone badgering her for some. She wasn't much of a sharer. Maybe that's why she was sorted into Slytherin! That and because her whole entire family, mum and dad's side, was Slytherin through and through. Definitely. That HAD to be it. Why else would she be in the house? She was a pretty nice person. I bet, that of you walk up to someone in Hogwarts and ask if Cardigan Johansson of Slytherin is a nice person, they will either say "yes" or "who is she?"! Well, except for, ahem, some people. But it was really only one person, so why bother?!

Looks like she was early this time. Usually, whenever she got on, there were hordes of people crammed in the hallways and she had to fight her way to a car! It was like a Zoo!! No one has fun when the Lions and the Aligators have escaped. She walked down the aisle, sticking her head in each compartment. Nope, nope, nope. And nope. Where is everyone?! she thought, sticking her head into another compartment, expecting to find yet another unoccupied compartment. Instead, two girls were in there who looked to be about in their fourth year. Wasn't one of them Alice Fisher? She didn't know for sure. "Mind if I join you two?", she asked, backing up from the compartment just a hair. Wouldn't want to make a bad first impression, being all the way up in their faces.

Ronnie looked away from the window and smiled as she saw Issac walk in and sit down. "Hey, Isaaac!" she said, looking at him with a smile. Hmm...he didn't look too happy. Her smile slowly turned into a frown. "Are you alright?" she asked, concern on her face.

Elliot yanked her trunk along behind her...her lacy bag slung over her shoulder...she had lost Ezzi in the crowd, but that was okay. She would try to find him later for sure. For now, though, she wanted some peace and quiet. The platform had been...SO loud.

She found an empty compartment, which seemed like such an impossible task...and practically throw her stuff in there...she sighed as she plopped down. She searched her bag for a book...and pulled it out. Soon enough, she was buried in it, her nose barely inches from the book.

A true Ravenclaw indeed...

Yup, and now she was back to the front of the train once again. SIGH. Was there nothing to do on this train? How was a girl supposed to be good when boredom was right outside the window taunting her?! This would be harder than she thought.

With Felix in one hand and a bag of candies in the other she once again entered the basically empty area. This was all ridiculous! What made it worse, she hadn't seen her friends since the little punishment and so she was hopelessly restless--HEY! There was that girl that gave her something to look forward to at the end of the ride...which only seemed to be dragging on. She struggled to remove a licorice wand from the bag and started munching on it.

"Hi again!" She said with a smile. "I thought older kids liked hanging with each other, why aren't you with them?"

Abby stalked down the corridor, feeling extremely annoyed. Why? Because she had absolutely no idea where her boyfriend was. They had boarded the train together, right? She'd obviously lost him in the crowd and now, she had no idea where he was. Heh. She was sure he'd find her later though. She kind of missed him already.

She slipped into what she thought was an empty compartment and.. Wait. She stared at the two students for a moment before she took a seat next to the window. Yeah.. no. She was in no mood to talk to a couple of strangers.. especially when one of them looked like a first year. Sheesh.

A true Ravenclaw indeed...
Her arms were hurting. Thanks to that incident with the trunk back at the Platform. Not to mention that carrying that thing was a complete... nightmare! Just as she'd breathed in the presence of the Ravenclaw boy, It was too heavy. Why, of course, the excitement of getting closer and closer to the Castle overrode all that. Her luggage was safely on the luggage car, all she truly needed was her bag and her Pygmy Puff, which was perched on her shoulder as she hastily looked for a compartment...

...and instantly found one she'd feel most comfortable in, yes?

Pity there was no Soapy around. She'd hoped to meet the Hufflepuff girl and pretend her name was the one she ought not to call her. Smirk.

BIG SMILE on her face, she tapped on the door once inside, that is, "What is it you're reading, Elliot?" she asked, for the cover of the book was on the other side, and she couldn't see.

"Well, out there on the platform? Those are all the older kids I know. And they're very busy and important types." Genevieve pointed out a seat to the girl, inviting her to sit down with her. It was nice to have company, even if the company was about a foot shorter than she was.

"And I happen to be no one in particular." Anonymity was nice.

Oh, hello Miss Snooty. Genevieve watched the girl pretend as if she was alone in the compartment, her nose almost literally in the air. It would be insulting if it wasn't so... dead amusing. Snotty-britches didn't have a leg to stand on... the car was Genevieve's.

"Lex. Let's play a game. I bet you another chocolate frog that I can make Miss Thing here smile before you can." See that? The girl could earn up to FOUR chocolate frogs if she was a good sport.

She raised her eyebrow at the girl. "Important types?" They were annoying for sure but she wasn't sure she would have gone as far as to classify them as important. "What makes them so important?" She didn't see anything special...except that the one girl apparently had a badge. Pssh, what could a badge do other than get lost of broken?

She took the seat when it was offered and helped herself to another sweet--oh yeah! "Would you like one? I have a galleon worth of candy in here and I don't mind sharing." But only because she was a nice older kid and not of the stupid variety. Yup, for now she passed the test and could have some of her sacred candy.

"And what makes you nobody? I'm sure you're more a somebody than they are." This one actually had a brain so she must have been somebody!

She slipped into what she thought was an empty compartment and.. Wait. She stared at the two students for a moment before she took a seat next to the window. Yeah.. no. She was in no mood to talk to a couple of strangers.. especially when one of them looked like a first year. Sheesh.
And just then someone else walked in. She sighed inwardly when she saw that it was just another older kid. So in the end she had spoken too soon. It was just as she thought, they did stick to each other...even if they didn't realize it. HUGE SIGH.

But there was something familiar about the girl that entered and took a seat away from them, something...very familiar--that's it! The girl who was being all gross earlier with the guy that must have been her boyfriend...

stare.

......STARE....

Yeah staring as wrong but with a display like the one the girl had given earlier she couldn't pry her eyes away. It just seemed like no matter where she went someone else was kissing. Such a shame too.

Stare...

She snapped out of the staring trance when mention was made of her winning another chocolate frog!!! This girl knew her Kryptonite!!! She grinned widely. "Okay, deal!!!!"

Ronnie walked down the corridor of the train, wondering where she should sit. Hmm... Meh. She wasn't gonna walk all over the train looking for friends, she'd just find a compartment up here in front and let them come find her. She was just too tired right now.

She slipped into the first compartment she found and shut the door and put her stuff up. She set Oliver's crate down and smiled at the gray kitten inside. "Hey buddy!" she said as she opened it, patting her lap so he could come sit on it. He slowly made his way out, taking his time to stretch a bit and then hopped onto her lap and curled up, purring as Ronnie began to stroke him. She sighed, looking out the window as the scenery flashed by. She grinned. She could not wait until she'd finally be back at Hogwarts. She could almost taste the delicious food at the feast! Mmm...chickennnnnn...

Tapping on the door, when he saw Ronnie inside, he hoped she was up for company because he didn't feel like sitting all alone the whole trip to school. He was miserable enough as it was.

His mum and given him an owl of his own finally which he'd named 'Sprite' and he was carrying the cage in his hand. It was just a little owl, just a scops one, but he adored it already. He just wished he was in a better mood, he was irritated with the problem with Amelia and didn't know what to do about it, but yet wanted to deal with the fact he'd completely avoided going to Egypt which was even worse not putting his mood anywhere but lower.

Sighing he just entered the compartment and dropped into a seat across from her putting the cage on the floor between his feet. "Hey."

Dylan walked to the front compartment and saw that there was a girl that he had not met too long ago sitting there with another boy older than him again. Why did it seem that most of the students here were older than him, were there none that were his age anymore? maybe once he got to school he would see more.. well it would be rude to not say Hi just in case she saw him walk past. So he walked upto them with the intention of just saying Hi,, exchanging a few words before he left them alone. Cause he could see the boy was not to please about something. "Hi.. Ronnie.. I just came over to say Hi" he said reaching her.

Um yeah. That was NOT Addy/Jack's idea of FUN. What with the pushing and the smells and the kids... and the PARENTS. Blegh. No. She would possibly miss the train next term. Heh. Again.

With Yoda tucked under her arm and Cat still snuggled down in her purse the girl struck out looking for... "VIV! Hey girl!" Addy/Jacks called as she pushed through to the compartment and plopped down. QUITE uninvited. Only when Yoda, the OBESE kitty, began to hiss and growl did she look around at the others... "How's it goin?" Yep. That was all she had.

Emeilia stepped onto the train. She got to a compartment and waved to her dad. She took a seat alone in her compartment. Feeling alone because she didn't know anybody. She bit her lower lip, truly hoping that someone would come sit with her. She looked at all the other students and hoped to make friends with a lot of them.

Her luggage was safely on the luggage car, all she truly needed was her bag and her Pygmy Puff, which was perched on her shoulder as she hastily looked for a compartment...

...and instantly found one she'd feel most comfortable in, yes?

Pity there was no Soapy around. She'd hoped to meet the Hufflepuff girl and pretend her name was the one she ought not to call her. Smirk.

BIG SMILE on her face, she tapped on the door once inside, that is, "What is it you're reading, Elliot?" she asked, for the cover of the book was on the other side, and she couldn't see.
Elliot didn't even look up from her book...she knew that little voice. "None of your business, twerp," she said, but then a second lately she cackled like mad and threw her book aside. "Nothing. Just some history on the royalty in Europe...and how the magical ties with ancient pureblood families affected the way the monarchies ruled..." she rattled off.

She shot the younger girl a smirk. "Nice to see you, Lottie. You can sit in here...if you want..." she gestured to the seat across from her. It really was nice to see the little girl.

She could see them becoming GREAT friends.

"Lex. Let's play a game. I bet you another chocolate frog that I can make Miss Thing here smile before you can." See that? The girl could earn up to FOUR chocolate frogs if she was a good sport.
Miss THING? STARE.

Was she an inanimate object? How dare someone refer to her as a THING? And, what was that about making her smile? "You are so going to lose that bet, missy." Abby didn't really feel like smiling right now. She was stuck in this stupid compartment with a girl wanted to make her smile and another girl who just kept staring at her.. and it was starting it creep her out a little.

... GOSH. Stop with the staring already. Abby folded her arms and raised an eyebrow at the girl. See? That was why she didn't like kids. They just creeped her her out. Most of the time. "What on earth are you staring at? Are you like admiring my beauty or something?" Because that was totally allowed.

She took the seat when it was offered and helped herself to another sweet--oh yeah! "Would you like one? I have a galleon worth of candy in here and I don't mind sharing." But only because she was a nice older kid and not of the stupid variety. Yup, for now she passed the test and could have some of her sacred candy.

"And what makes you nobody? I'm sure you're more a somebody than they are." This one actually had a brain so she must have been somebody!
"Important in their own minds, I should say," Genevieve offered with a careless shrug. The dark haired one had been a prefect, Gideon was likely one too with his imperious barrier-guarding, and Selina was one of those Quidditch-brained types that underclassmen obsessed over. Very important indeed.

"Do you have anything pumpkin in there?" As for what made her a nobody? The answer was... choice. She wanted to be a nobody this term.

"Excellent." She knew the girl had heard them, and hopefully that would incline her to either smile right away or try even harder NOT to smile and fail miserably. Or to leave because she didn't want to play. Win-win...win. All good options. "You can go first, but the rules are these: you cannot touch and you cannot magick."

"This is Lex, and I dunno who the quiet one is. But we're going to make her smile. Laughing would be better. Chocolate frog goes to the winner."

Oh? Another country heard from. Genevieve smiled gamely at the girl as she settled back into her seat and just lounged. Game on, Miss Thing.

"Not missy. My name is Genevieve Branxton, and you... are in my train car. Welcome."

Default ALL OF YOU! You know who you ARE. *stares*

Ew. Why was that one calling Viv, MISSY? Jacks leaned over a little and peered at the one saying MISSY and cleared her throat. "Her name is Viv, actually. Not Missy. That would be dreadful, wouldn't it?"

But yes, yes. There was another person there. But Viv was talking about a new RAGE. Um YES. Let's play. Giggling softly Jacks nodded her head. "Well of course I have heard of it. Pffft. WHO HASN'T. And a chocolate frog to the winner? I will take that bet and even throw in some Bott's Beans," she said as she dug around in her bag and extracted the beans.

Turning her attention to the one clearly named Lex she smiled sweetly. She was a little thing, wasn't she? "I won't forget that name. My cousin's name is Lexi. And I am Jacks... or Addy. But I am growing fond of Jacks lately," she said with a snort as she held her hand out to the younger girl.

And then she cut her eyes to the QUIET ONE. She needed a laugh, it seemed. All that sulking and calling people by their incorrect names and such. No. "I sing quite poorly. Think I should give it a go?" Heh.

She shot the younger girl a smirk. "Nice to see you, Lottie. You can sit in here...if you want..." she gestured to the seat across from her. It really was nice to see the little girl.

She could see them becoming GREAT friends.
Why on Earth was Lottie still beaming? Because of her laughter. And the fact that Elliot may have been right. Had it been her in Elliot's place, and some other little girl... well, this wouldn't have happened. The compartment door would've been locked.

Moot point.

Her book! The eleven year-old would've gasped, but she kept entirely cool about it. "Sounds...," come to think of it, "...slightly dull, but interesting at the same time." True story. "My family goes way back...," she never finished the thought, she got distracted by the thought of having a Wisteria met Merlin himself. OH, THE EXCITEMENT!

Almost instantly, Lottie placed her bag on a sit and took a place next to it. The Pygmy Puff made her own way to the top of the bag, resting from the apparent long journey from... nowhere.

The smile was 'thanks' enough, yeah? "I met a boy on the Platform, by the way," smirk, "This will be his final year... he seemed smart, and was very polite." And almost-kissed her hand. There was a reason behind her story, "His name's Vickers, well, Vincenzo, but he goes by Vickers, do you know him?" time to know just how much Elliot knew of other Hogwartians.

She knew about Soapy, but that wouldn't be enough.

"How's Dani, by the way?" She was planning on writing to her as soon as she could.

Abby rolled her eyes at the girl. Thing.. Jeez. Please, Lord. Let that not be her new nickname. "I'm going to call you Genie." Why? Because she felt like it. "Abby Hastings." It was better to introduce herself rather than let the girl continue to call her 'Miss Thing.' "And.. I don't see your name written anywhere.. so, I hardly think this is YOUR compartment."

Oh, great. Welcome to the already crowded compartment, person.. who seemed to have a problem with her calling Genie 'Missy'. "If I knew her name, I wouldn't be calling her Missy now." DUH.

Waiiiit. WHAT!? She wanted to make her smile TOO? What is this? 'Make Abby smile contest'? "Listen.. whoever you are. If you really plan on bringing a smile to my pretty face, singing poorly is not going to do it." Just sayin'. Chace was the only person who could make her smile and he wasn't around. SO. Try as much as you want, people.
