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. They bite.

Sophie Brown and Zander Adair making their way into the train as seventh years for the first time. Zander Adair and Sophie Brown. Zander Adair and Sophie Brown. Zander Adair and-- He wants this to be repeated for a couple of more lines, but that would be torturous so this is where we stop. Zander Adair and Sophie Brown (I lied), Head Girl and Head Boy.

HEADBOY??? HEADBOY. HEADBOY???

Hi. I'm Zander and I'm head boy. The sentence still didn't add up in his head and he had been rehearsing literally ALL summer. Even the letters on his badge looked like some foreign language from outer space. Like Runes. Wait. Question, since Botros was the Headmaster now, did that mean Zander wasn't allowed to complain about Ancient Runes...? Even if he did so subtly and within internal monologues? Because if that's what being Head Boy meant, then someone might as well take away his badge right now.

His badge. His HEADBOY badge. What the heck? How did failing two of his OWLs possibly set him up for this? It's like they WANTED to see the school burn. Ps. That's the Hogwarts plot for term 41. Just another average year ft newly inducted Head Boy, Zander Adair, setting the old castle up in flames. Bets can be placed in the side room right near the Great Hall. Use your galleons wisely, folks.

Anyways. The badge on his robes and Sophie Brown to his side, what could possibly go wrong? That was rhetorical. We're talking to you Maggie Traulton.

Something was telling him that he should be holding Sophie's hand, but he was feeling incredibly antsy at the moment. So antsy, that he kept fumbling with his badge instead, though it was probably straighter than it could ever be. "Soph, does it look right?... I don't think it looks right. Maybe I should just put it in my pocket until I can get to a mirror or something," and with that the Gryffindor unpinned the badge, just to put it into his palm and stare at it some more.

They were sure this thing was real right? Like, it wasn't counterfeit? And there wasn't a real copy floating around somewhere?

They were sure this thing was real right? Like, it wasn't counterfeit? And there wasn't a real copy floating around somewhere?

With tear-stained cheeks and blurry red eyes from saying a very long, drawn-out farewell to Tobes on the platform, Sophie respected Zander's need to fidget with his badge and his neglect to hold her hand, but she was latched onto the crook of his elbow. He may not have been emotionally compromised over embarking on their last train ride for the beginning of a Hogwarts term, but SHE was, and the pain from that was amplified by the cold hard truth that she was leaving Tobes behind. And really, the reality was that she had plenty of friends still at Hogwarts with her. Lots of friends to hang out with and fill the time that she'd have normally spent with Tobes. But... no one could take Tobes' place in her heart. No one. And facing a new school year without Tobias Fuller-Thompson by her side for the first time since her second term was a very, very frightening concept.

What was she supposed to do without him?

The gift of a shiny new badge helped, she supposed, as she and Zander made their way through the train with their respective Head badges and she felt a sense of... belonging and empowerment. Even though she knew that Tobes wouldn't be embarking with her on the journey to Hogwarts this term, the Head Girl badge on her chest gave her a sense of purpose. This was where she needed to be, here with her boyfriend and Head Boy as student leaders to set a good example for others and be people their peers could look up to. It was what she'd always wanted, ever since she was a first year - to be a prefect, to be someone, to prove her worth in a concrete way to her fellow students, her professors, and to herself. And she'd done it.

It was that very thought that made traces of a smile appear in the corner's of Sophie Brown's mouth as they walked along, despite the complete mess that was her complexion after bawling her eyes out on the platform. She didn't feel great, not yet at least, but deep down, she knew this was it: she was living her DREAM. This was everything she'd ever hoped for.

...Well, the only thing that could've made it better was the presence of Tobes, yes, but he wasn't there. Zander was, though, and she gave the Gryffindor's arm a squeeze as she focused back in on just how happy she really was to be here with him. Zander was different from Tobes and she felt very different things for both of them, but Zander's presence on its own was just as encouraging as Tobes' could've ever been.

But that didn't stop her from wanting both of them and DOUBLE the encouragement.

"Hm?" the Head Girl responded distractedly, tilting her head and tucking her long dark hair behind an ear to take a proper look at the Head Boy and his badge beside her. A full, wide smile graced her features then, and she opened her mouth to respond to his questions... but then he was taking the badge off and Sophie sighed in good humor. How cute was he when he was this nervous, huh? The cutest, honestly.

Sophie stopped them on their voyage and turned the Gryffindor to face her before delicately taking the badge from his palm. "You're TOTALLY overreacting, it looked fiiiiine," she reassured him before brushing at the fabric on his chest where she fully intended to attach the badge for him, giving him a silent warning that she was going to do so. "This badge was made for you, Head Boy Zander Adair." She huffed some hot air on the badge before polishing it on her sleeve, then began to attach it to his chest. "It looks good on you, they made no mistake, it's a Gryffindor Head Boy badge, and there's no way they messed that up. This is yours. You're Head Boy. Botros 'n Flammy 'n all the others, they believe in you, 'n I believe in you, so s'about time y'start believing in yourself."

With the badge attached to his chest, she reached up and gave his blond hair a playful ruffle and grinned a big ol' toothy smile at him. He was going to be OKAY. "You've got nothin' to worry 'bout. And if somethin' comes your way that y'don't think y'can handle, well..." shrug, "'least you've got me by your side, don'tcha? We get to take on the world together." A light boop of his nose with her index finger accentuated her final word with a giddy smile, and she reached for his hand to hold reassuringly.

The look on her mothers face said it all as the train pulled away from Kings Cross Station. Ruby had her face pressed to the window taking one last look at her mother and fathers face before they disappeared from view for a couple of months. Ruby had never been away for such long periods of time and she was finding it difficult to keep it all contained. The tears were slowly slipping down her cheeks but she wiped them away with the sleeve of her cardigan that her father had suggested she'd wear.

Her twin brothers were on the platform too looking as disgruntled as ever. Daniel was tugging at his mothers hand clearly trying to escape. She couldn't help a tiny amused smile at the sight through her watery eyes. They were always trying to cause trouble. Her final thought as the train pulled away from the platform was that soon there could be a new member to the family. She wasn't sure how she felt about it, whether it meant that the girls were being replaced but she was supportive of her parents and if they wanted to adopt then she would welcome her new brother or sister with open arms.

Once they were completely out of view she sat back on the seat as she was supposed to. Ruby was incredibly thankful that she had her sister with her, she had no idea how Tabby had done it all on her own last year. She leaned her head on the blonde girls shoulder hoping for some comfort accompanied by the little sniffle that escaped her nose. “Promise you’ll look after me” Her words were quiet, needy. Ruby wasn't confident or funny or bubbly like Tabitha was. Ruby was shy and reserved and often deep in her thoughts. Going to Hogwarts was intimidating.

Ruby wasn't confident or funny or bubbly like Tabitha was. Ruby was shy and reserved and often deep in her thoughts. Going to Hogwarts was intimidating.
The thought of going back to school was making Tabitha's tummy do that horrible squirmy thing it did when she felt a mixture of excitement and apprehension. But it was easier this year, not only because it was her second year at school and she'd done this all before, but because she had her favourite company in the ENTIRE world with her: her (baby) sister, Ruby.

The pair, close in age, were inseparable at home, and Tabby had hopes it would be the same at Hogwarts. She was wishing with all her heart that Ruby would be a Slytherin, but she had an inkling that hat wouldn't agree that the little brunette had the traits of a Snake. A hatstall herself, the hat had lingered over Slytherin and Gryffindor, eventually placing her in the very house her parents had been in. Maybe she had unwittingly swayed it herself with that very thought going through her head..

She wrapped a skinny arm around her little sister when she saw the tears, her own eyes stinging too as she focused on her parents. Her dad looked so saaad, despite him pretending (and she could TELL he was pretending!) to smile, and wave. He looked paler than ever, with an upset looking Trixie standing beside him. They were getting smaller and smaller.. and smaller and smaller and smaaaller as the train pulled out of Platform Nine and Three Quarters. It had a melancholy aptness about it. She sniffed, focusing on Daniel who was being his usual ANNOYING self. She couldn't even seee Isaac.

She hid her tears when her sister turned to look at her.

Strong Tabby.

Big sister Tabby.

“Of course I'll look after you, Ruby.” She reasurred her sister once again, like it was the silliest request ever in the history of ever. “I promise.” She added, unravelling herself to offer Ruby her little finger.

“Pinky promise.”

A light boop of his nose with her index finger accentuated her final word with a giddy smile, and she reached for his hand to hold reassuringly.

Merlin, this badge was weighing down his hand. Well of course it was only a small piece of metal, yet everything it stood for made Zander’s arm hurt. And the longer he’d keep it in his hand, the heavier it’d get. This definitely had to be some kind of strange magic or something. That or it was all in his head. So probably the latter, but a boy could dream.

He stopped in his tracks noticing that Sophie had come to a halt, turning so that she was facing him. It was only then that he realized how red her eyes looked. Merlin, Toby. He had been so wrapped up in his own worries, that he hadn’t even stopped to see how Soph was doing after parting ways with the older boy. Oops. And yet the Ravenclaw was able to go on and give Zander Adair the pump up speech he needed, whilst also taking care of the badge (because what if he put it on crooked again). It only brought him back to the moment over the summer when he had told Sophie the news. He was most definitely doubtful then too. But somehow Sophie Brown always knew exactly what to say. Probably why she got Head Girl tbh.

”Thanks, Sophie,” the Gryffindor gave her a small smile as he straightened his back and lifted his head just a little bit. So maybe he didn’t have all the confidence he needed right now. And MAYBE he knew he was probably going to screw this whole thing up in the matter of a few weeks, but what was important now was that Sophie Brown, Head Girl, believed in him. And they got to take on the world together. He wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. That alone was enough to make him feel loads better and it was also enough to make the badge feel loads lighter too.

”And you know, that goes for you too,” he reached his hand over to meet hers half way, where he interlaced his fingers with hers and gave her hand a light squeeze. ”You’ve got me by your side too, Soph.” He gave her a small, but reassuring grin, ”You haven’t got to go through this alone.” He was talking about a lot of things here. But mostly, he meant she didn’t have to get through it alone even though Toby wasn’t here.

Already he felt a little more confident as a result of standing with Sophie Brown. But of course these things don’t just happen overnight… Or over a conversation in the middle of the train aisle. Hogsmeade wasn’t built in a day, after all. So what does one do in this situation? That’s right, kiddos. Zander Adair was gonna fake it till he made it. And with that being said, ”You think we should let the Prefects know who their Heads are?” He was finally ready to go face the world or um, the Prefects well as ready as he’d ever be, if she was.

“Of course I'll look after you, Ruby.” She reasurred her sister once again, like it was the silliest request ever in the history of ever. “I promise.” She added, unravelling herself to offer Ruby her little finger.

“Pinky promise.”


Tabitha was more than a sister to Ruby, she was her best friend, her support, her shoulder to cry on and someone to protect her when she needed it. Ruby didn't like change, she liked order and familiarity just like her father. She craved the knowledge that the school would provide her but feared the unknown. Hogwarts could either give her the best years of her life or leave her wanting to go home. She knew that in a couple of years time her cousins would start joining her at the school, followed by her brothers. It would be a family affair and she’d have all the support she needed. In fact it was she that would have to provide the comfort to the younger ones. Felix would be first and he was even shyer than herself sometimes.

They were barely making their way out of London but Ruby already missed her father’s bony cuddles and her mother’s kind words. She even missed her brothers playing up for her parents. She snuggled closer to Tabby as she pushed those thoughts out of her head and tried to look forward to what was to come.

She held out her pinky in return and wrapped it around the blondes finger. “Sisters first. Everyone else second” she spoke although it came out as more of a question than a statement. Ruby would be devastated if Tabby found someone she liked more than Ruby but she wasn't the sort to retaliate against it. She had noticed her sisters tears but also noted how quickly she had tried to hide them. Tabby was the best big sister that a girl could ask for.

Ruby knew that she lacked in the criteria for Slytherin and so she would have to get used to being all alone. Even if she begged the sorting hat to put her there once she was in she knew that she’d find it intimidating. She wouldn't fit in to the house of the snakes, her father had even said that he didn't feel he belonged to Slytherin when he was there. But out of the common room Ruby would stay firmly by her older sisters side.

She glanced at Tabby’s cat whom was mewing in the cage. She stuck her fingers through the bars to tickle its little nose. Her owl was sat proudly on his post, watching over the sisters like he was their protector. “It's such a shame we couldn't bring Aslan and Oink” she attempted a little giggle. The family had so many pets but Aslan the Pygmy goat was her own and she had a special bond with the tricoloured male. Alas a goat was not on the list for recommended pets and she was sure it would be far too difficult to use one in transfiguration or even to get them on the train.

"WOOOOOOOOOOOW, WE'RE HALF WAY TH-EEEERE."

The voice of Riley Archer echoed (probs, sorry) down the halls of the Hogwarts Express. She was just so darn EXCITED that she couldn't help but sing. She was also in the middle of chasing her cat, Chip, down the corridor because he was running off. Probably away from her singing, oops. She also was trying to list important things on the back of her hand so she'd remember later, but now she was multi-tasking so much it was becoming impossible.

"CHIPPY, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?" She called after the daft cat, following him into a compartment.

AHA. Riley slammed the door shut, not even paying attention to if there were other people inside, and gave her cat a look. He was trapped, no where to go now. She was TRIUMPHANT.

She was also in the middle of chasing her cat, Chip, down the corridor because he was running off. Probably away from her singing, oops. She also was trying to list important things on the back of her hand so she'd remember later, but now she was multi-tasking so much it was becoming impossible.

"CHIPPY, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?" She called after the daft cat, following him into a compartment.

AHA. Riley slammed the door shut, not even paying attention to if there were other people inside, and gave her cat a look. He was trapped, no where to go now. She was TRIUMPHANT.
LET IT BE KNOWN THAT PHILLIP nomiddlenamegrumblegrumble ROMALOTTI WAS A VERY HAPPY ELEVEN YEAR OLD.

There was nervousness and excitement running through the small boy as he plopped himself down in an empty compartment. HE WAS GOING TO GO TO HOGWARTS! And while he had been sad to leave the family behind at the platform -- there had been NO need to cry, MUM -- the boy was all smiles as he took out the very VERY large amount of sweets he had been harbouring in his backpack.

Yep. This was going to be a one person sweets party.

...........

Or not.

Phillip had JUST managed to bite the head off of his chocolate frog -- AHAHA -- when he heard the sound of singing. The boy wrinkled his nose and stuffed the rest of the frog into his mouth before pressing the palms of his hands HARD against his ears. Bad singing. BAD. DON'T SING IF YOU'RE NOT--

Just when he thought that this journey couldn't get any more adventurous, a cat -- yeah, that's right, a CAT -- scampered into the compartment and then JUMPED UP ONTO HIS LAP only to be followed by....... a girl. The girl didn't sit on his lap -- THANKFULLY -- but she was in his compartment and looking triumphant. Er.

"Ijs dfjk jkfjkdfgj kjfldkls?"

Oh right. Chocolate. Chocolate in his mouth. Should have really swallowed that first.

Kate didn't know what it was, but she kind of thought she'd reached that stage where she was 'growing up'. Sure, school was starting, but all she was really excited about was making new friends and keeping up with her current friends. This must really be what it was like to be a teenager. Kate had been ready to be a 'cool teen' her whole life, and now that it was here, she could hardly contain herself as she entered the train and looked for people she already knew.

Kate peered into the first compartment, trying to be as discreet as possible to not make a nuisance of herself. Hmm. Must be all incoming firsties, because Kate none of them, and they looked a little younger than her. A second glance showed her an empty compartment, and Kate opted to take it in hopes of having company sometime soon. She plopped down onto the seat and fiddled with her candy from Diagon Alley as she waited around.

Adelynn, a third year of barely 5 feet, made her way to the front of the train. She was usually a very shy person but was determined to come out of her shell this year. Over the summer she had come upon the realization that being best friends with her cat wasn't really the coolest thing to do.

After awhile of being picky for a compartment she saw one that had only one other girl in it. She entered the compartment and sat across from the girl and potential friend. Then she stuck out her hand,

"Hi, my name is Adelynn."

She smiled at the girl.

Wow, there were a lot of students on this train! Davie had never been around so many kids his age in his entire life, and he had been to a lot of Diagon Alley events and birthday parties with his parents' friends and all their kids. The amount of people here, though, just, wow. It was almost off-putting to a shy boy like him, but he watched everyone and everything with bright blue spectacled eyes.

Now he entered his first semi-empty compartment, spying someone he recognized at last. He hadn't seen Charlotte yet, and he still needed to find her for sure, but he could sit and talk to Kate as the train got going. Only problem was, a different girl had found her first. So, with a small smile, Davie settled into the compartment on Kate's side and gave her a small smile, looking across to her new friend as well.

Should he introduce himself, even though she was talking to Kate? No? No. He'd wait. It was more courteous that way.

Kate had just absentmindedly peeled off the wrapped of a piece of candy and popped the candy in her mouth, when she heard the compartment door slide open. She stuffed the wrapped into her pocket and looked up. Oh, look! It was---... Who was that? A new girl! Kate smiled at her, happy to have somebody to ride the train with and talk to as they made the long ride to school. The girl looked close to her age, too!

"Hey," she said, extended her hand and meeting the shake, "I'm Kate. Thanks for sitting here! I was getting kind of bored by myself." She paused for a second before adding, "Is this your first time at Hogwarts?" Kate hadn't seen her in any of the classes yet, and there wasn't anything on the girl's clothes that showed what house she was in.

The door slid open again, and this time it showed David, Kate's new friend from Diagon Alley! "Hey, David," she greeted. "I was wondering if I'd see you on the train." She gestured to the other girl and said, "David this is Addelyn. Addelyn, this is David." Now that the introductions were over, Kate couldn't help but add, "David's got a really cool mom! She used to be the Headmistress, so David's been to the castle load's of times." It was EXCITING!

"It is! I'm a third year but it's my first time going to school at Hogwarts. Aaaand I'm kind of nervous about it."

Her anxiousness was apparent through the sound of her voice. She jolted her head to the sound of the door opening. She looked over at Kate who knew the boy. She was internally grateful for Kate doing the introduction for her.

Upon hearing about Davids mom being the former Headmistress, Adelynn's jaw dropped. She quickly pulled it back up and tried to act casual.

"Wow! It's nice to meet you David. It's like really cool that your mom used to be the Headmistress and that you've been to the castle and all. You must know everything about all the different areas of the castle! I heard that there's so many different rooms you could go to that it would take weeks to get to them all!"

Her attempt at being casual had failed but at least she had come out of her shell a bit.

Yeah, of course Davie would come find Kate on the train! That was the last thing they'd talked about, after all. He was grateful that Kate was doing the introductions, because that was a small social custom he still hadn't mastered.

"Nice to meet you too, Addelyn," he mumbled with a small smile before his whole face reddened as Kate brought up who his mum was. Was Headmistress, because she wasn't anymore, Abr--- er, Botros was, and Davie was just the son of two had-beens.

The girls didn't seem to be dwelling on that, though. They actually thought this fact about his parent was cool.

"Oh, yeah, I've pretty much grown up and around that castle," he confirmed, his face slowly cooling as he found something to talk about. "I like it. It does have a lot to explore, a lot of good hiding spaces, so it's a good thing we'll have all year there." He paused for a moment, glanced between the two older girls as he realized something. "Haven't you been to Hogwarts before, Ad-- Addelyn?" He had just walked in on her introducing herself to Kate. He wasn't sure if maybe she was a firstie too.

The more Davie talked about Hogwarts, the more excited Adelynn got. Finally, after two years of studying the whimsical Hogwarts Castle she was going to be able to see it in person in just a few more hours!

"That's so....fascinating!!" She hoped Davie could help show her all the cool hiding places since they didn't mention where to find them in the textbooks she read.

Upon his question, she cleared her throat and got prepared for her story. One she felt like she would be telling a lot as she met more friends.

"I haven't been to Hogwarts before...This is going to be my first time!" She couldn't believe she could finally say that.

"I went to Beauxbatons for my first and second year...My mum is really into France and the French Wizarding World." She thought about her time at Beauxbatons, "I didn't really fit in with the others though...and I had heard so many good things about Hogwarts so after two years of convincing my mum to let me transfer here, she finally gave in and voila! I'm on the way to Hogwarts."

She wanted to learn more about the new people she had just met, so she tried to feel for what year David was going into. He looked too young to be a third year, so maybe he was a second? Maybe, but he still looked young. Could he be a first year?

"Is this your first time at Hogwarts...as a student?"

Reading her book in the compartment she was in, Timmy flipped the page and looked at the pictures. 'Is that was hinkpunks really looked like? They were basically ghosts that threw fireballs.' The blonde thought to herself and looked at the image more carefully. She giggled to herself as she thought back to when Timmy accidentally set fire to some of Brian's things and blamed it on a hinkypunk. Now, being the strange child she is, Timmy called herself one of these creatures. Was it really a bad thing she did?

Naaah.

The girl was mainly just goofing around with the whole thing. Though, she did find the creatures interesting and whatnot.

Okay...nope...he wasn't walking anymore. If Torie wanted to sit with him he could come find him! Chris looked through the compartment windows and found Timmy sitting by herself reading. Grinning he opened the door and sat down in the seat across from her.

"What ya reading?" he asked as he turned his head and squinted his eyes in a vain attempt to see the title on the spine of the book.

Turning another page, Tim continued reading and squinting at the images. Maybe the library would have a better book on them? But she did take this from her dad back home. Maybe he wouldn't notice a missing book. Besides, no one told him to become a creatures professor and leave his books lying around. Pfft, shame on him! The compartment door open and closed. Timmy hadn't looked up from her book, so she wasn't sure who had just walked in.

But the voice was familiar. Peeking from her book, the blonde smiled at her friend and held it closer to him. "About magical creatures. I'm currently reading up on hinkypunks,"

Chris continued to try and squint and see the title on the book and he saw something about creatures but couldn't make anything else out. Could they make that harder to read? His eyes widened though in fear, Hopefully he wouldn't need...GLASSES! Nope that was not cool at all. His attention was drawn as she moved the book toward him and he could finally see the title clearly.

"Hinkypunks?" he asked curiously and moved to sit beside her so he could read with her. At least he knew he belonged in Ravenclaw as he always wanted to learn new things. "What about them?" He tried to keep some space between them but couldn't really see so moved a bit closer.

So probably the latter, but a boy could dream.

He stopped in his tracks noticing that Sophie had come to a halt, turning so that she was facing him. It was only then that he realized how red her eyes looked. Merlin, Toby. He had been so wrapped up in his own worries, that he hadn’t even stopped to see how Soph was doing after parting ways with the older boy. Oops. And yet the Ravenclaw was able to go on and give Zander Adair the pump up speech he needed, whilst also taking care of the badge (because what if he put it on crooked again). It only brought him back to the moment over the summer when he had told Sophie the news. He was most definitely doubtful then too. But somehow Sophie Brown always knew exactly what to say. Probably why she got Head Girl tbh.

”Thanks, Sophie,” the Gryffindor gave her a small smile as he straightened his back and lifted his head just a little bit. So maybe he didn’t have all the confidence he needed right now. And MAYBE he knew he was probably going to screw this whole thing up in the matter of a few weeks, but what was important now was that Sophie Brown, Head Girl, believed in him. And they got to take on the world together. He wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. That alone was enough to make him feel loads better and it was also enough to make the badge feel loads lighter too.

”And you know, that goes for you too,” he reached his hand over to meet hers half way, where he interlaced his fingers with hers and gave her hand a light squeeze. ”You’ve got me by your side too, Soph.” He gave her a small, but reassuring grin, ”You haven’t got to go through this alone.” He was talking about a lot of things here. But mostly, he meant she didn’t have to get through it alone even though Toby wasn’t here.

Already he felt a little more confident as a result of standing with Sophie Brown. But of course these things don’t just happen overnight… Or over a conversation in the middle of the train aisle. Hogsmeade wasn’t built in a day, after all. So what does one do in this situation? That’s right, kiddos. Zander Adair was gonna fake it till he made it. And with that being said, ”You think we should let the Prefects know who their Heads are?” He was finally ready to go face the world or um, the Prefects well as ready as he’d ever be, if she was.

Sophie could SEE the visible change in his demeanor after she worked at inflating his confidence levels and it was a very, very big relief. It would have been okay if he hadn't been COMPLETELY sure of himself in taking on this big role... but a little bit of confidence was probably necessary, wasn't it? If the dashing young man standing before her couldn't believe in himself and own it, then the student body wouldn't believe it either. He had to sell it. Especially considering the fact that the vast majority of their classmates seemed to think of Zander as silly or airheaded. This wasn't the case at all, didn't they know? Zander was brilliant and wise and charming and sweet and yes, funny, but SO much more than that. Definitely not airheaded. He was someone worth looking up to, and she knew it, and the professors must've known it - so it was about time that he knew it and their classmates could follow suit, too.

This moment, this train ride, was his first opportunity to show the world what Zander Adair was made of.

Squeezing the Head Boy's hand back, Sophie returned the smile halfheartedly. It was nice that he was trying to reassure her, but she didn't want to hear it. It was better right now in the face of setting the tone for the entire term to push aside any negative emotions and focus on feeling good ones. She was grateful that he went right along to suggest they head into the prefects' compartment so she didn't have to respond to his words, and nodded her agreement, already guiding them the rest of the way down the corridor toward their destination.

"Yeah, but y'should lead the way inside. Y'deserve to get the jaw-drops and the brunt of the massive elation and energy that's gonna come from the room when people see that you're Head Boy." Her dreams were irrelevant - the real story here was that this boy who so many had underestimated was Head Boy, and he deserved to be drowned in congratulatory exclamations just to prove to him that he WAS worthy of this new badge.

And also she wanted to hide her post-crying face behind him as long as possible.

Her anxiousness was apparent through the sound of her voice. She jolted her head to the sound of the door opening. She looked over at Kate who knew the boy. She was internally grateful for Kate doing the introduction for her.

Upon hearing about Davids mom being the former Headmistress, Adelynn's jaw dropped. She quickly pulled it back up and tried to act casual.

"Wow! It's nice to meet you David. It's like really cool that your mom used to be the Headmistress and that you've been to the castle and all. You must know everything about all the different areas of the castle! I heard that there's so many different rooms you could go to that it would take weeks to get to them all!"

Her attempt at being casual had failed but at least she had come out of her shell a bit.

"Nice to meet you too, Addelyn," he mumbled with a small smile before his whole face reddened as Kate brought up who his mum was. Was Headmistress, because she wasn't anymore, Abr--- er, Botros was, and Davie was just the son of two had-beens.

The girls didn't seem to be dwelling on that, though. They actually thought this fact about his parent was cool.

"Oh, yeah, I've pretty much grown up and around that castle," he confirmed, his face slowly cooling as he found something to talk about. "I like it. It does have a lot to explore, a lot of good hiding spaces, so it's a good thing we'll have all year there." He paused for a moment, glanced between the two older girls as he realized something. "Haven't you been to Hogwarts before, Ad-- Addelyn?" He had just walked in on her introducing herself to Kate. He wasn't sure if maybe she was a firstie too.

"That's so....fascinating!!" She hoped Davie could help show her all the cool hiding places since they didn't mention where to find them in the textbooks she read.

Upon his question, she cleared her throat and got prepared for her story. One she felt like she would be telling a lot as she met more friends.

"I haven't been to Hogwarts before...This is going to be my first time!" She couldn't believe she could finally say that.

"I went to Beauxbatons for my first and second year...My mum is really into France and the French Wizarding World." She thought about her time at Beauxbatons, "I didn't really fit in with the others though...and I had heard so many good things about Hogwarts so after two years of convincing my mum to let me transfer here, she finally gave in and voila! I'm on the way to Hogwarts."

She wanted to learn more about the new people she had just met, so she tried to feel for what year David was going into. He looked too young to be a third year, so maybe he was a second? Maybe, but he still looked young. Could he be a first year?

"Is this your first time at Hogwarts...as a student?"


Kate perked up. "Oh, cool! I'm a third year, too!" she exclaimed. It was nice to meet new people, but it was awesome to meet people her own age. "If you get into Ravenclaw, we'll be roommates. That'll be a good thing, because it's just me and Janelle now." So that sealed the deal. Kate wanted this girl to get into Ravenclaw, so there could be three girls in their dorm instead of just two. "Well, anyway, welcome to Hogwarts!" She decided not to tell the girl they'd just got rid of an army of Acromantula who tried to eat everybody in sight last year.

Kate turned toward David. Well? Did he? Know all kinds of secret rooms and stuff? She saw his face get red and automatically felt bad about bringing up something that embarrassed him. But he did know all kinds of secret places! "You'll have to show us some one day!" she said, trying to make him feel better and not so embarrassed.

Then Adelynn andswered David's question, and Kate found herself reacting in a way she hadn't intended. "So many GOOD things?" she asked, thinking about the Acromantula attacks. Ahem. "I mean, oh, right! There's loads of good things going on there!" Positivity! She had it. The conversation seemed to be going on between the other two right now, so Kate found herself like a human tennis ball, her head bouncing back and forth between the two of them.

There hadn’t been any question where Brooklyn was going to sit, since she’d left her dad on the platform. He’d been the only one who came to see her off, since her mother was currently on a Muggle plane headed to go surprise Lily in New York. The redhead thought it was stupid, when it would have been easier to just use magical transportation, but she hadn’t had any say in the matter. It had left her disgruntled, possibly even more so than she normally was. Nobody had listened to her, but at least she’d escaped having to sit with her cousin. Dylan was elsewhere, thankfully, and Brooklyn was quick to claim a compartment near the front. Where the important people sat, and she was definitely important. She wouldn’t accept any arguments otherwise, nor would she have accepted just anyone who wanted to try and sit with her.

She was perfectly happy having the compartment to herself, aside from Tywin, who was curled up on the seat across from her. She hadn’t bothered to close the compartment door, in case her cat decided he wanted to wander later on, but she wasn’t about to go worrying about finding someone to sit with. Those who knew her could find her if they so chose, and anyone else would have to deal with her deciding if they were worth speaking to. If they were worth joining the short list of people who she’d cast in her little head canon. It was possible, as long as no one dared invade her personal bubble.

Fascinating! Good word choice, David noted. "Sure, I can show you guys some stuff... m-most of my favorite hiding places are in the Head's office though." He knew that place like the back of his hand, even the rooms that weren't on the official school map. "Kate, you've probably explored a lot of the secret tunnels, like the one that leads to Hogsmeade?" Had she? "I bet you've been in the Chamber of Secrets, too."

He'd heard a LOT about that Chamber last term, especially in relation to the invading acromantula. He didn't bring it up now though, since she hadn't, and since their other companion seemed so positively excited for school. He exchanged a glance with Kate and then smiled back at Addelyn. "Hogwarts IS the best wizarding school in Europe, even the statistics say so," he informed her proudly. "It's a good thing you managed to convince your mum to go here!"

He'd had a bit of a struggle with his own mother, but in the end, his attendance at Hogwarts had been a no-brainer. Everyone else in the family had gone here, his parents had both taught here, and it would be 'bad for publicity' if he didn't attend, or something like that. So here he was. "Yep, I'm a first year," he admitted. "Hey, maybe we'll get Sorted in the same House." Him and Addelyn, that was. Maybe they'd even be Sorted into Kate's House???!?

Finding out that Kate was also a third year made Adelynn feel so much better. She had been worrying about not be able to meet people in her year who would be in her classes. She smiled at Kate.

Also Kate was a Ravenclaw! She remembered that house sticking out to her when she heard about the 4 different ones. After finding out that David was a first year, it also brought some relief to Adelynn as she would know someone at the sorting ceremony. "I'm hoping for Ravenclaw!" She then looked directly at David. "Ooh, and I hope you get Ravenclaw too! We could all hangout together in the Ravenclaw common room. I heard it has the prettiest view of the night sky!"

She then leaned back into her seat and sighed out of content. Her eyes were glossy with the idea of the different possibilities of adventures she would have this year. She knew it would be different from Beauxbatons, but a good different.

"I already know this year is going to be sweet!" Saying this reminded Adelynn of her bag of sweets she had gotten from Honeydukes earlier that day. She pulled it out of her satchel. And took a bite of a jelly slug. "Would either of you care for a Jelly Slug? Or some Fizzing Whizzbees?" She had brought plenty to share.
