He liked his teammates and it always felt good to be a part of something - even if the pressure at being at the helm was suffocating and only added to the weight pushing down on him that he was just waiting to snap his spine in two. But this was fine. It was always fine.

Yes.

He actually felt a bit of relief being on the Hogwarts Express...even if it meant running into people he might not otherwise wish to. It meant a breather from pops and that was way better than the prospect of being locked in a compartment with Luz for the duration of the ride... or Spencer (which he wouldn't mind, actually) ... or Maia...as things unfortunately were turning out. Ideally he would like to spend a bit of the ride with Eliza, but for the time being Josh was looking over the itinerary of suggestions from pops as to his work out regime and ways to elevate it. Along with those reminders he did not need reminding of as the man had ingrained them so firmly in his head (honestly, it was a wonder the man had not made him a recording of him repeating the phrasing to play while he slept...like those motivational tapes of yore) that the sixth year was SEEING the words while awake.

Scouting had gone well this summer and offers were already in pending his graduation.

This. Was. Fine.

He was nose deep in his reading (and whistling) and nearly slammed into some others coming down the corridor in the opposite direction, but thankfully Josh had those stage reflexes and performed a somewhat elaborate but relaxed ballet leap and spin out of the way of his peers...and right into the compartment currently occupied by a couple of girls and...a dragon?

Well, right into it after his shoulder had somewhat ricocheted off the half open half closed door with a dull thud.

But...d r a g o n?

Uh. UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH. He had heard STORIES about dragons from some of his friends and what had happened that term they went to the French school (whose name he could NOT pronounce for the life of him and always came out like...well...maybe these two would find out during conversation). Letting out a bit of a sheepish chuckle while whistling on an exhale, he grinned at both girls and tried to recover from the, er, theatrical way he had entered their compartment.

"Hey there," he greeted with his Boston accent as thick as ever. "So...that's a rockin' looking dragon....is it real?"

No? Please say no.

As was teaching Artemis a zillion tricks. "Let's start with flying!" Emm said, bouncing once in her seat from the sudden bout of excitement that gripped her. They would be like dragon tamers ~~nevermind he was only a toy~~!! Artemis did not appreciate being jostled, his wings flailing as he sought to regain balance. Emm helped him, her attention still mainly on Kizzy. "THEN when he can fly we can teach him to run errands for us!! He can fetch our clothes, pass notes between our beds, help us find things--we're gonna have the smartest baby dragon EVER!!"

And you know what else was good? Kizzy no longer being sad. Having nearly had the life squeezed out of her, she could now confirm that her friend was as happy as she was and was dead interested in getting a dragon. Best friend in the UNIVERSE. A little louder for the people in the back, please. "I'll help you pick out names--"

Emm's head whipped around when the compartment door suddenly opened. She wasn't the only one startled. Artemis screeched at the suddenly intrusion, his wings flapping vigorously despite his not knowing how to use them yet. The little dragon whirled around, making a beeline for the wide window.

"Kizzy! The window!" She yelled, trying to clutch the now fleeing dragon. Her hands only drove Artemis in the next direction, toward the boy who'd nearly TRAMPLED THEM. "The door!" She shouted at him. They had to seal the exits--something she'd DONE, before HE doofus-ed his way in. Forgot "hey", "Shut the door, moron!" Before it was too late.

Artemis flapped his way up to the boy's face, screeching as he did while he tried biting at him. Concern for the boy? No, concern her dragon would be loose in the train, yes.

Flying would be a fantastic place to start. Kizzy nodded in all her approval, bouncing just as much (if not more) than her counterpart. While the thought of taking care of a baby ~~toy~~ dragon was already exciting in its own right, Emm’s ideas made it even MORE exciting. Especially the thought of using it to pass notes and secret messages. ”That’s brilliant, Emm!!” Could they be at Hogwarts already?

The possibility that they wouldn’t be sorted into the same house wasn’t entirely lost on Kiz. But Phoebe said the hat lets you pick, so it shouldn’t be an issue. Kinsay James could be very convincing. So could Emm. They were the best team. That’s why Kiz would obviously welcome any and all naming input from her best—

Kinsay’s head whipped around too, her eyes widening as the dragon began hurrying towards the window. Without any hesitation, Kiz leaped towards it, throwing herself in front of the window and stretching her arms out wide to cover it. When the dragon switched directions, she made sure it was shut tightly and locked so well that not even a dragon could escape! That took all of two seconds. Then she turned to watch the scene before her.

Eyes wide and absolutely horrified. Though she wasn’t going to yell at him like Emm, she did her part by giving the intruder her best set of dagger eyes.

Partially to support Emmerson, partially because she was very concerned for Artemis’ well being, BUT also because this guy was RUINING THE PLAN!! The perfect plan to have the best compartment with Emm and Emma and Matty and Sammy and cousin Cooper and Phoebe and Teddy.

”YEAH!” She chimed in after Emm. To solidify the urgency of this disaster situation and his overall moron-ness. Obviously very helpful.
