That was good, specially if they really were going to be seeing exactly how many truffles they could eat before they literally started bouncing off the walls. Ten certainly weren't enough, and she took a few more as he'd responded to her idea about the elves. "They really do make awesome stuff. But so do you," she replied. And allegedly the Gryffindor prefect, who was always giving the staff cookies at feasts and stuff. She didn't make chocolate though, so Patrick was still better in Kendall's eyes. Plus, she hadn't met the Gryffindor prefect yet over the past three terms, so she couldn't judge her cookies. Maybe she'd have to sometime though. Truffle experiment first, and she grinned as Patrick had not only agreed to give her her promised chocolate once they got to Hogsmeade, but that he'd give her even more. That was even better, even if she got less truffles right now since the other boy had arrived.
The other boy who had been welcomed by her friend, affirming they had enough truffles for a third in their experiment, and she grinned as he'd introduced himself. "Hi Logan. I'm Kendall Lily. Kendall's easier though. We're doing an experiment to see how many chocolate truffles we can eat in one sitting before we get way too much of a sugar rush," she informed him, finishing off her thirteenth truffle and grabbing a couple more. "Are you just starting at Hogwarts?, " she continued, finally taking a seat as he had. At least nobody had sat on Accio yet, who was still attempting to get Patrick's attention. Along with another person who had suddenly burst in and grabbed his hand and loudly introduced herself, which almost brought a giggle out of herself. That was definitely not going to work. As far as she could say, it would just shut Patrick down since she hadn't gotten him half as sociable as she was yet. And she'd just have to hope he'd be back to normal once the train got back to Hogwarts, because there was no way she was going to let him forget to give her her chocolate.
At least she still had Logan to talk to, and she momentarily tuned Mika out. "I've been at Hogwarts since I was eleven," she answered him. "And I'm going into fourth year now. So's Patrick." She didn't have to completely ignore him, at least, even if she'd tuned the younger girl out. Until Accio had suddenly eyed the other girl, then stalked away to jump onto his mistress's lap. Her cat definitely hadn't liked being almost sat on, and the ornage tabby got an absentminded pet as she popped yet another truffle into her mouth. "Did you wanna join the experiment?," she asked Logan, snagging the truffle box again at the same time Mika's conversation topic had changed, and Kendall's hazel eyes went to the girl. "A metamorphmagus?," she asked. "So'm I. But that's not a trick. It's just who I am." Even if she didn't completely have control over her hair color yet. Except for the current pink streaks in her auburn hair, which she was so very proud to have finally mastered. The owl story didn't go unnoticed either, and her eyes had flickered to Patrick's owl. Mika better not mush Orion's brain too. At least she only had her cat, but then it seemed like Mika had tried to smush him. It wasn't overwhelming for Patrick to deal with that there was someone else in the compartment rather than just him and Kendall since he knew that he was going to have to meet other people like he had earlier in the summer which was somewhat of a challenge. He took more truffles, practically half of the tray and slowly ate them one at time since there wasn't a need to rush; as she had gone back to talking of the possibility of house elves helping them out and he swallowed what he was eating before deciding to speak. No need to be rude. "You think so? Apparently you're not the only one who does, I've been told that I have some talent with chocolate and could end up with a good future as a professional chocolatier." he replied before leaning back in the seat slightly, there wasn't a need to start thinking about futures when he was only a 4th year at Hogwarts; sure that was going to be an issue later but it was better to deal with it when it came. All of the sudden, the feeling that he was being watched returned like it had in Diagon Alley; how that could have happened was unexplainable and he definitely didn't like it.
Why do I have a feeling that it's just better to hide out than explore the school this term? Honestly.. if this feeling is going to keep coming back, I'm better off by myself. He didn't want that to happen since it would have meant that he couldn't have been able to hang out with his friend or any other potential friends and that wouldn't have been fun.
After she had introduced himself to the boy who had entered the compartment, he had wondered if he should have too since it would have been a good idea. But before he had the opportunity to speak, another girl burst into the area out of nowhere and he had just blinked at her immense enthusiasm since it was quite startling; though that earlier feeling of being watched only seemed to intensify as she had decided to introduce herself to him. "Erm... hi?" His voice went up a couple octaves when he spoke since he wasn't quite sure what to think of Mika, other than the fact that she oddly seemed to have met him before. Apparently. Looking over at Kendall, he had given her a blank expression so that she could have figured something was wrong and it had only gotten worse at the mention of the what happened to the little girl's owl. Dear Merlin. Grabbing Orion's cage, he got up and looked out to see the food trolley down the corridor which was perfect. "I'll um.. I'll see you guys later. Nice to meet you Logan." He walked out of the compartment and just headed off down the corridor, sure his trunk was still there but he trusted his friend to look after it for him while he was gone.
