SPOILER!!: Harlan

The countryside hadn't seemed to have varied much since they had left the city of London, it was just rolling green hills and farm animals scattered around the fields. It wasn't particularly interesting to look at anymore and so the boy decided that pressing himself against the window wasn't such a good idea anymore. Plus his nose was getting too cold from the glass. The girl that was now sat opposite him was more interesting anyway.

"I thought you'd be older" he smiled but there wasn't a massive difference between them and it didn't bother him that he was talking to an older student, as long as she wasn't a bully or anything and he very much doubted that. "I don't want your owl to think my rat is lunch, not that she'd let that happen. She's much too clever." She was a strange rat, far too superior, or at least she thought, for her own good. Queen rat.

"I'm Terence Radley. But I prefer to be called Terry. Terence is a bit old manish" he nodded. Being 12 years old, he didn't want to be viewed as old before he had even reached his teens.

SPOILER!!: Vee

Her silver-grey cat miaowed loudly as he stared at a bulge in the pocket of a boy. Uh-oh, that must be a rat. This wasn't good.

"Stay still, gooood kittie..." Vee bent lower and began slowly approaching her pet from behind, so as not to startle the silly thing. The moment the cat decided to pounce and threw himself upwards, Vee lunged at him and caught her escapee in midair. "Gotcha!"

Only then did she seem to realize she wasn't alone. There were two other students in the compartment she had so rudely and suddenly barged into - but it wasn't as if she had had a choice, she had to catch Barry. She still hadn't quite managed to teach the two-year-old cat to overcome his hunting instincts. And every since they'd boarded the train, the multitude of rats and owls and other cats was clearly driving him crazy, she'd had a hard time keeping hold of him for a while before he'd leaped out of her grasp. But never mind that now, she had him now, and that was all that mattered.

"Oh, hi. Sorry about that. My cat still has some manners to learn, but we're working on it. I'm Vee, by the way, and this is Berry," she manipulated the cat's paw so that it moved up and down, imitating a wave. Barry's eyes never left the boy's pocket. Vee followed his gaze.

"You've got a rat there, right? Can you do me a favour? There's a lead in my bag, in the outside pocket, bright blue, could you get it out for me and clip it onto his collar? That way I'll be able to control him a bit more," she smiled at the boy and approached him, half turning around so that he could access her purple shoulder bag. The colour was a stark contrast with her red hair, but she liked that. She liked colours and brightness - they always seemed to make people happier in the long-term.

"So, are you guys new too? I'm just starting this year," she addressed her question to them both again and hoping she hadn't totally alienated them. Vee wasn't one to care too much what people thought of her, but then again, she didn't usually make scenes akin to the one which had just occurred, and she wasn't sure how it would go down. Oh, well, all she could do now is keep a better hold on Berry and hope they'd understand that accidents happen. They looked friendly and reasonable enough, anyway, she decided.

The atmosphere in the compartment had been fairly calm and quiet until a girl burst in chasing something. He blinked a couple of times, just blinked. But then there was a cat by his pocket and he frowned down at the cat, protecting Brie with his hand.

She picked the cat up and Terry finally looked at the girl properly. Brie usually wouldn't bothered to wake herself up, she was much too engrossed in her sleep but she peeped through the 12-year-olds fingers and stared with her black beady eyes at the cat. She squeaked loudly, staring and wiggling her whiskers in a menacing manner. No cat was competition for her! After a few seconds of out staring the silly creature, the rat retreated back into his pocket and curled back up to sleep.

"That's okay" he smiled and shuffled up closer to the window in case the girl wanted to sit down. The more the merrier right? "I'm Terry" he grinned at her then glared warningly at the cat. He didn't blame it though, all creatures had to survive didn't they?

"Yes. Her name is Brie" he looked down at his pocket. She then asked him a something and although taken off guard, he agreed. The boy unzipped her back and ruffled around inside, feeling a little guilty that he was looking in her bag but she had asked him too. He finally found the lead and took it out, handing it to her. "There you go." Interesting, a cat on a lead. He'd helped his mum walk crups before but never had he been asked to assist her on a cat walk but if it kept the cat away from Brie, then he would go along with it.

She was going to the school for the first time too? "I'm going to be a second year but this is my first year at Hogwarts, I was home schooled" he nodded. Terry was about to ask her what year she'd be in but Harlan had got there before him and so he didn't say anything.

After a quick check Harlan decided that her face was mark-free and pretty as always. She smiled to herself, of course she hadn't messed, she was too fancy for that stuff in the first place. So far the boy seemed nice enough, Harlan decided and nodded. 'Really...? This is going to be my first year too. But I'm going to be a Fourth year.' She smiled and stroked her owl, who was being way too nice all of a sudden. Across from her she noticed the boy take care of his rat by placing the animal in a pocket. 'That's probably smart...' She made a popping noise with her mouth as she nodded again. 'My owl isn't really that nice, most of the time anyway.' 'I'm Harlan, Harlan Isaacs, by the way.' Harlan held her free hand out to the boy.[/COLOR][/FONT] The countryside hadn't seemed to have varied much since they had left the city of London, it was just rolling green hills and farm animals scattered around the fields.
