But spending several weeks straight with them in their Notting Hill townhouse was a little more "togetherness" than she preferred.

After boarding the train, she spent a few minutes wandering the halls, keeping an eye out for a compartment to join. Passing by a group of students that looked to be about her age, she decided to poke her head in.



"Mind if I join you?" Avalon asked with a smile, shifting her bag to her other shoulder. She had packed way too many belongings for the train ride. Did she really need a new outfit and a pair of boots to change into? For some reason, it sounded like a good idea when she was packing last night. "Everywhere else is full of first years," she added, somewhat jokingly. Not that she had a problem with first years. She actually quite enjoyed getting to know them and helping them around Hogwarts. But she also wanted to hang out with some people her own age. And she didn't think she had seen these students around before. Maybe it'd be a good opportunity to make some new friends.

Don’t apologize.” He paused, wondering if Ilya’s hair changed on his own whim or if it had to do with what kind of mood the boy was in. A question fit for the books indeed as he was mindful that perhaps the other boy could feel uncomfortable by all the questions that people could ask him about his ability.

Noah shared Kimmie’s sentiments once more. “Agreed. Join us. Plus I have plenty of snacks to share and I doubt Kimmie and I could finish them but I think we have a pretty good shot between the three of us,” he said as he unzipped his backpack to reveal all the goods that he had procured along with a couple of rice cakes that his mum had made.

Now.. was he excited for the school year? “Yes though to be honest – I’m a little nervous too. Brand new school, new house to get sorted in… but at least the people I’ve met have all been pretty welcoming.” They all had been polite and quite civil – besides, he had already made a couple of friends in Diagon Alley. Now the unknown factor of what house he’d fall into was the worrisome thought plaguing his mind. "And you guys?"
