Isobel stood on the platform, still breathing heavily after practically throwing herself into - and through - a wall. She glanced around and was surprised to see that the platform was fairly deserted. Sure, it wasn't eleven o'clock yet, but she'd expected many more overexcited Hogwarts students arriving early like her, not just the few students and parents scattered around. And as far as she could tell, there were no other first years on the platform. Was she the only one who was buzzing with anticipation of getting on the train?

Nudge meowed petulantly through the bars of the cat cage she was in. Isobel stuck her fingers through them, the half-Siamese-cat, half-kneazle bumping her head up against her hand and licking it. Laughing, she removed her fingers and wiped them on her jeans. "Don't worry," she told the cat. "I'll let you out on the train."

And the day arrives when they all have to pack their stuff and go back to school. Not that Juliet was complaining, no. It's just that, time flies so fast, she barely realizes that she had enough of her summer. She did wish it was a bit longer. Sigh.

Her father apparated with her at King's Cross but her father decided not to stick around for long. He was in an important business meeting in half an hour or something, and needed to go back to France as urgent as possible. She walked over the north area of the platform and saw an empty bench. Juliet placed all her bags beside the bench where she can keep an eye on it, while she placed her hand carry bag on her lap.

Summer had over, and now it's time to go back to school.

Unlike the previous year, Christina didn't go back to Beauxbatons. Since her father accepted a job as Ambassador in England, her family moved here including her. At first she didn't feel happy, her former school was awesome and she already had some friends there. But now, she was excited since she met some people from Hogwarts. They seemed... nice, she thought.

So, Hogwarts students go to school by train? She thought. It would be her first time riding by train to school. Nervous? Not really. Walking over the north platform area, Christina looked around at the place. She hoped that she could spot someone familiar here. Maybe Juliet or Dachi or Ira? Dunno, there were so many people here. She preferred waiting for the train by sitting at the bench there with Purin on her lap.

So anyways here was West Odessa, chillin', waiting for a train like a boss.

Derry had been sitting with her book, minding her own business and petting Lando's head with one hand as she read about the Mad Hatter's tea party... The Doormouse was definitely her favourite in this part... she didn't blame the poor thing for hiding in the tea pot the whole time.

But then Lando decided to go exploring and jumped off her lap. "Lando! Come back!" But the little silver tabby had already disappeared into the crowd. Derry got up, tripped over her shoelaces, and righted herself before running after her cat. "Lando? You're only a wee little kitten... you need me..." she called, ignoring other people - her cat was far more important - before she caught sight of him perched on the back of a bench, staring a cat in a girls lap... "Lando..!" She grabbed him before he pounced and held him close to her chest... "I..I... um... s-sorry... he ran off........." she mumbled to the girl on the bench. Sigh. One day she'd learn to talk to people...

Yawn, she was bored.

Why her mother forced suggested her to be early at the station? Because she thought it wouldn't be funny if she missed the train. Huh, her mother was such a very hyperbolic person. She really wished that either one of his siblings could accompany her but they were busy.

So, she was alone here. Like a stranger.

Well, she was stranger because she was new in London. She grabbed a sketchbook and a muggle pencil from her bag. Sketching was one of her favorite things to do when she was bored. While she was distracted by sketching, she heard that someone apologized at her, huh? Apologize for? Oh, her cat ran off toward her, maybe. Because she didn't see any other cat beside Purin. "It's okay." said her while she adjusted her glasses.

POUT. Yes that meant Miss Pout was watching everyone as they walked on by and with a pout that was.

Watching a West? West was okay with being watched. He watched BACK. He'd heaaaaaaard things.

Was that one of Dylan's snake kiddos watching her? Heh. He could watch, in fact he could talk too.

Clement Belrose arrived, glancing down at his watch impatiently, the train couldn't arrive sooner.

Oh look it was that Clement person but whatever, West was busy making Ness related deductions because he KNEW she wasn't captain anymore.

"GET BACK HERE NAMELESS TOAD." Blue's yell echoed across the platform as she chased her pet.

The seventeen year old eyed the new appearing snake wondering if Dylan had asked people to ambush her or something but then she heard someone shouting, Blue, a Ravenclaw, much better.

Kat moved over to the North End of the Platform and waited for the the train with the others cos... duh, what else would she do?

Clement leant against the wall, kind of aware of the puff and snake around him, until he heard a shout about a toad, but with the appearance of Kat Hudson his attention was suddenly taken.

Romalotti, yes that's what he was going by from now on, strutted up to the north side of the platform. Yo this train need to get here soon before he broke out in song and dance or something.

It was hard to prioritize since there was a Blue yelling somewhere nearby and Teammates and all, but West had something to say to Ness. "Either you got fired for lameness or got a different badge for awesomeness."

Kat gave everyone she knew a wave and then went over to Blue. "Hey Blue, do you think your toad would come back if I showed it MY toad?" Kat asked cos she knew things.

BLLLIIIIIINK. "Why on earth would it?" She squinted at the blonde.

How he knew, Ness didn't know, she answered him by taking out the new badge and showing it to him with a POUT and one more thing WHAT was going on with these platform kiddos?

After catching himself staring he frowned, not a good look, but then he just decided to approach Kat, and the young Ravenclaw that she was with. "Ladies"

"You're nuts. Why you'd give up captain for that is beyond me." Mad. She was entirely mad. "Did they pay you off?"

Nameless? Nice name for a toad. Oh look a toad. He blinked puff captain was now head girl and Kat was a perfect. And Odessa was there. What next Dylan was the new head master? Ekkkkk he could really feel a song coming on. Tap tap tap and sings " I gotta get back to Hogwarts. I gotta get back to school."

Blue simply EYED the ginger who joined. EYED him. Weirdo.
