Yep, Dante was off to Hogwarts. He said good bye to the parents and was just ready to give this boarding school thing a shot. Even though it was stupid he could get bring his bike in his trunk. Stupid trunk not fitting it. He had tried for an hour to fit in in. Nope to small a trunk. At least his skateboard fit. Small victory there

The soon to be first year got on the train with his new pet toad Hopalong Montezuma and went to the back because it was better than the front. All the authority people were up there. Which meant no fun up there.

Myabe all the crazy people were at the back. Would be fun to watch some crazy stuff on this ride to the school. He did not want to become bored before he even got there.

Abby was excited to go back to hogwarts she had found an empty compartment at the bdack of the train and she took a seat as having already had stored her trunk now she just needed some company

This was it. The train that was taking her to Hogs-feet Hogwarts where she would complete her mission of pranking all of the boys she could. Isla Reeser was pretty excited and she couldn't help but explore the train, looking for her new victims. And of course some friends. She could use some. However, she hadn't found any people really at the front of the train since it seemed like she was one of the first people on.

The fifth year continued to look inside some of the compartments and decided that maybe it was best to take a break and finally take a seat inside one of them. She could always find other guys later once she was actually at the school. She saw a couple of younger students and wondered if she should talk to them. She wasn't really sure what to do so instead she just waved to the two kids and walked into one of the empty compartments instead. It was kind of intimidating. She wasn't sure if they were mean so she went her own way. She felt awkward and insecure. She blamed it on the lack of sugar she had in the past two days.

Once she took her seat, Isla stretched out her legs on the seat across from her. She took out a bag of reeses pieces and ate some while she looked out the window, thinking about her future pranks.

Walking through the cars and corridors was pleasant, when not being pushed around or thinking you heard your name somewhere, which didn't happen but still. Paloma was in deep need of some peace and quiet, and maybe a small nap since the previous night worked its best for last minute packing.

Maybe if she ate some...chocolate, or sugar quills, or cotton candy, family and personal favourite, she would wake up...

And that's when she smelled perfection covered in chocolate. Those Reese's chocolates that she hadn't eaten in years, last time in New York...And the scent came from the compartment she had just walked past. Giving a few steps back, she opened the sliding and cool doors and smiled wide at the girl who was eating that precious treat. Maybe she would share, trade...?

"Ummm...can I sit here with you?" She asked. What if the girl didn't want company during her ride? Paloma would be a complete intruder and rude if she had just walked in.

Isla continued stuffing her face with Reese's pieces and thinking about boys to prank when she heard a voice. She swallowed and turned her head, looking at the girl in front of her. "Oh! Yeah of course you can!" She said, a little too excitedly and placed her feet down on the ground. She wiped the spot where her feet had previously been and then smiled at the girl in front of her so she could sit down.

"I'm Isla Reeser, by the way. Transfer student from Salem. I'll be a fifth year. How about you?" She asked, continuing to snack on her Reese's pieces as she waited for the girl's answer.

Cutty was lingering. He'd been so long without use of his wand and it was, apparently, giving him the shakes. It was almost as if he wanted some time alone with it. Weirdo. Anyway, he found himself at the back of the trains gripping it's sword-like hilt running it's almost pointed tip against the interior of the trains creating a soft scrapping sound.

He paused when he saw a small'un. Something about the sight of it made Cutty want to laugh. How was it even that small?!! He was willing to bet the voice was still squeaky. There were a billion ways to find out, but some were better than others. Civilized monster this time and a moral imbecile to boot, Cutty Mordaunt opened his mouth and said the following, "Yew look new to the Hogwarts Express. Whateveh yew do, don't buy off the trolley. It's been known to make people sick."

Samantha was carrying the travel cat carrier that contained her kitten, Tabitha, busy searching for somewhere to sit. She had looked and saw a lone Ravenclaw sitting there. Samantha opened the door and said, "Hello there. I'm Samantha. Can I join you?"

Abby looked at Samantha and saida "Hey there I am Abby and of course you can join me" Abby was glad that she would have some company on the journey

Samantha entered the compartment and sat down next to Abby whilst she placed Tabitha next to her. "So what year are you in this year? I am in Fifth." Samantha said as her nose twitched slightly which was a nervous habit of hers.

Abby smiled at Samantha and said "I am just going into my second year Samantha i just can't wait to get back to school" Abby was excited about exploring the castle more this year

Sam smiled and nodded. "I can't wait either. I love being at Hogwarts. Which classes are you most excited about?"


She had just asked the question when she got distracted by Tabitha mewing in her basket. "Sssh, it's okay, baby girl," Sam cooed at Tabitha as she stroked the kitten's ears. Tabitha then went back to sleep and Samantha turned back to Abby with an apologetic smile.

Abby smiled at Samantha and said "I guess i am looking forward to Charms and Potions, any classes you excited about Samantha" Abby smiled at Samantha as she attended to her kitten

After she had gotten hers and Clara's trunks safely tucked into the luggage compartment Cinnamon set off to find compartment she wasn't quiet sure where Lux, Emmy and their boys were. She seen Emmy on the platform where they had made up. Boy was she glad. She really missed her other bestie. She really did.

She looked for familiar faces in the windows as she walked by the other compartments. She would slide into if she seen someone she knew. Gees when she had taken her trunk and put it up. There was no one on here yet. It must've taken longer than she thought to get the trunks put up. She lost Clara because she went back to the platform to tell her dad and Rae bye.

Still searching for a compartment. Finally finding a empty compartment she tossed her bag into the opposite seat and plopped down on the other side if others joined her she would move her bag or kick them out. Which ever she deem fit.

"Ooh, fellow Charms fan. I am also looking forward to Transfiguration. I am more nervous this year as I will be doing my OWLs this year." Samantha replied as she stretched her arms above her head then down again.

Abby nodded and said "Yeah i have heard that they are supposed to be very hard, i am not looking forward to the time that I have to sit them myself"

"Oh, I am sure you will do well. The main thing is that you try your best." Samantha said with a reassuring smile. "On a lighter subject, do you have any hobbies?" she asked.

Abby smiled and said "Well hobbies i have got to liking is reading and writing but i also like to paint sometimes but i am not that good yet as i have only just taken painting up" Abby had her paints with her so she could practice while she was at school

RELAX, LOVELY PEOPLE!
Phoenix Harrison Toros has arrived!

Phoenix had hopped onto the train, guitar case in hand, and started wandering along it, pretty much in his own little world. It was only one he'd got towards the back that he realised he didn't actually have anywhere to sit. He opened the next door he came to and went in, feeling a tad disappointed when there was nobody in it. He needed a distraction!

...

No that wasn't true, he was very good at distracting himself, but he maybe needed something to take his mind off the fact he was going to be away from his brother for an extended period of time...

ANYWAY...

Phe sat down and put his feet up on the seat in front of him, his guitar case resting against the window...

Maybe he'd attract friends if he started playing...

Samantha was very pleased and impressed. Someone that shared pretty much the same interests as her. "What a coincidence. I love reading and writing and I must admit that I am partial to doing some artistic work from time to time. I have a couple of spare art sketchbooks if you'd like to have them."

Abby grinned and said "Sure i would love to have them as i want to paint as much as i can while i am at school this year, i also want to meet as many people as i can this year, i am a bit short on the friend list" Abby could not believe that she had met a fellow housemate with similiar hobbies

Uuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......

He was really on this thing now wasn't he? It felt strange, leaving London behind, leaving his family and home... he had a home, but now, now he was alone.

Zeke stood in the corridor, staring around and peeking through compartment windows. He was beyond excited, but incredibly friggin nervous too. Could he just like, become invisible now or something? Please? He swallowed, scratched the hair at the nape of his neck and trudged farther down. He was very nearly at the back of the train, like, the BACK of the train. The back was always where the cool kids hung out, right? Right?

He was cool.

Ahem.

Deciding it would do him no good to stand around, he slid open a compartment door and let himself inside, closing it behind him. However, it wasn't until he turned back that he realised he wasn't alone. Duuuhhhh, there were people around and abouts, and looky! There was one here toooo!

"Errrr................. hi," he started, sitting in the corner by the door where there was no girl laying down or bags to be in his way. All alone, in the corner, shunned. "I sat here, but... can I sit here?" he suddenly thought, wondering if she might be put off by his presence. It wasn't something he particularly cared about, last he checked there was no name carved into the seat or the door, so it was free for grabs as far as he was concerned.

"Well when we get to Hogwarts, I will give them to you along with any other spare art supplies I have. I echo your sentiment regarding friends. I am usually a loner but I would love to befriend many people and not just in Ravenclaw." Samantha grinned.

Abby nodded and said "Yeah i know sometimes for me its hard because i can be a bit shy when i am meeting someone new but yeah i would love to have friends in every house myself"

"Goodness me. You sure we're not related considering how alike we are!" Samantha said with a laugh. Samantha could not get over at how similar Abby was to her. It was quite spooky but in a good way.
