Phineas had woken up by now and was already sniffing Curt's legs. "Does anyone have any idea what's going on here?" he asked the carriage. He knew everyone was probably just as bewildered as he was, but it was worth a shot.

"If this isn't normally how things are done Curt, then do you know why they are doing things differently at this moment?" Flynn was growing steadily worried. He didn't want an entirely changed Hogwarts to the one that he had dreamed of for so long!

Then he took in the shiny prefect badge and even though he had expressed his feelings towards the girl prefects (Slytherin and Hufflepuff) quite clearly... he couldn't help but be just a little bit intimidated and impressed by this one.
It was cos he was a boy, of course. And he KNEW that the other kid's name wasn't Flake. It was Flynn, he had known all along, course.
"I'm Garret," he said, shyly at first and then realizing how stupid he'd sounded, he went on in a tougher voice, which better suited his manly stature (ooc: as if), "I figured this ain't normal, considerin' all the noise everyone's makin'."
He rolled his eyes, "Who cares if we can't sit with the girls? All the better I say! Now c'mon! I'm hungry!" he called this last bit out to the people still faffing around on the platform.

Why are we being seperated it doesn't make sense" Ray continued as he looked the carriage that was full of boys. It was weird because for the first time since his first day at Hogwarts that he couldn't hear girls laughing loudly or whispering something about someone. It was all strange.
Curt quickly turned his head as he head someone call his name. He watched as Dusty ran over from his carriage and situated himself in the one Curt was in, "
Hey Dusty," Curt said with a grin, he still wasn't sure if Dusty was trying to give him a hard time on the train or not, but Curt decided it was probably to play it off as he didn't, maybe his imagination was getting the better of him. Curt noticed Dusty's ferret sniffing his legs, and Curt reached down and gave the little guy a comterable pat on the head. Upon Dusty asking what was going on, Curt simply shrugged... he was just as confused as everyone else. "
I'm not sure mate, this has never happened before. Can't be anything bad though, I still see some of the old professors back." he said with a nod.
Curt then looked to one of the first years who was introducing himself, the one with the shorter hair. Curt nodded, "
Nice to meet you Flynn." he said, trying his best to settle into the situation, he wasn't really worried at all anymore; he was just anxious to find out what was going to happen. Curt frowned slightly as Flynn asked him if he knew why this was happening, he merely shook his head. "
I wish I did... but I don't have any idea. They will explain everything when we arrive at our place though, no worries." he said confidently.
They better, Curt thought, it was pretty tough being clueless like this.
Curt then turned to the other young one, Garret it turned out his name was. Curt noticed his shyness at first, and it made Curt smile as he remember his very own first year, how nervous he was around some of the older students, the Hufflepuff prefect Leo, and some of the other girls. He soon got over it though, and it was evident Garret was too as he went on about how he noticed that wasn't a normal happening.
"That is true." Curt said with nod, he looked around again. The panic was still thick in the air, and some people were arguing, and it sounded like idea's of a revolt were in the air. Curt sighed, he just wished everyone would settle down, it really wasn't
that big of a deal. Curt was the one being separated from his serious girlfriend, if he was fine with it, everyone else should be. Curt laughed as Garret said he didn't need the girls, and started to hurry people along. This kid was funny, and Curt was hungry as well... he stood up in the carriage and turned around, facing everyone who was lollygagging around,
"Let's go gentlemen, Professors' have asked us time and time again to hurry it up so lets get a move on!" he said, hoping to maybe speed things up. Sitting back down, he looked to Garret and smiled, "
Yeah I think we'll do just fine without the nagging girls." he said with a wink, "
But I'll tell you this much, give yourself a year or two and you might change you mind on the matter." he said with a grin, thinking of when he started devoloping a huge crush on Savannah Mae.
It was just then when Curt's fellow housemate Ray made his way into the carriage, Curt didn't see much of him last year but he was just a year under himself, Curt was pretty sure. "
G'day Ray." Curt said with a nod, before frowning slightly and shaking his head. "
All I know is that the Professors are explaining everything once we get there, I just wish everyone would hurry and load up so we had head out." as he looked out to the crowd on the platform that was finally beginning the thin out.
Curt turned back over to Dusty, taking a look at his pet ferret. Curt really like ferrets, his oldest brother used to have one. "
What's this guys name?" Curt asked, petting the critter softly on the back.
