Emm flopped down onto the seat as her friend did, giggling from the excitement of it all.

"Okay, remember how I said all the animals on the school list are boring?" Everyone had a cat, she didn't care for owls, and she wanted NOTHING to do with rats or toads. Gross. "I was walking through Weasley's after and and and..."

Unable to contain her enthusiasm any longer, Emmerson reached into her satc--"Ow!" The little girl withdrew her hand immediately, checking she hadn't gotten a nasty cut for it then carefully pulled the cloth frame down and away to reveal a purple, scaly friend. To anyone, it would look like one of the mini dragons from the toy aisle of the shop, because it was a toy dragon she'd gotten from the toy aisle but curiously, it wasn't so mini anymore. Now, its nose to the tip of its tail stretched the length of her arm.

"Auntie Jessa did lots of magic on it--touch him, he's like a real dragon. I named him Artemis." Because he LOOKED like an Artemis, didn't her? "She made him more like a real dragon."

As if on cue, Artemis spread his wings in a lazy stretch before flopping forward into her friends lap in a failed attempt at flight. "SO much better than a cat."

Though she was very much present, her mind did continue to wander. What if Emma, Sammy, and Matty couldn't find this compartment? It was VERY important that they all rode together for the first train ride. All of the train rides. Because that's how Kinsay had planned it out in her head. If it didn't happen the way she saw it, she'd be severely disappointed.

But there was also something very gratifying about being the FIRST to know about the thing. This thing that Emm hadn't told for WEEKS. Being the first to know things was always special and it canceled out all of the wandering thoughts about their other friends. For the moment, Kiz was ALL ears. And eyes. She was all everything. She just wanted to know the special thing now please, please, PLEASE?

"So boring," she agreed wholeheartedly (except she did like Beans and Beans is a cat). "Annnd?" The ANTICIPATION. She tried leaning over to see inside the satchel, but it didn't really work. That's okay though because Emm was going to show her any second now. She could always tell when it was time for the big reveal.

O____o

Emmerson's yelp caused Kiz to jolt up right. Her eyes growing HUGE with worry. All of which disappeared the moment she saw the toy dragon in full. She gasped audibly in awe, watching the scaly critter move about. With Emm's encouragement, Kiz timidly extended her arm to pet along its back. "Whoa," upon touch, she looked up with amazement. "Will you bring him to class?!" She didn't know what you were supposed to do with pets when you went to lessons, but it only seemed fair to bring them along. What if they got lonely?

Either way, Artemis was so much cooler than any other pet! A DRAGON was way better than a toad. It made Kizzy feel a little envious, but she didn't like feeling that way so she tried her best to push that away. "I wish I had a pet. I was supposed to bring Sweetpea, but..." she looked down at the compartment floor, kicking her feet and filled with SADS. As Emmerson knew, the little fish had died early on in the summer. It was all very traumatic. Especially because she just poofed in the end (as magically-made-fish tend to do).
