Allie giggled at her Daddy, man did she love him! In her world David was the hero and he defeated every one!

Mrs. Fitzagerald smiled at her little whom she grown quite fond of, it was bittersweet leaving him and seeing the train take off with her little man. Demi flashed a glance at her husband, holding back tears threatening to spill. She wasn't going to cry...at least not in front of the Kid, Troy didn't like to see people cry it puts him in a bad mood.

Troy nodded but still stretched out his hand, the more money the better! "Just in case." His front teeth were no longer bigger than his mouth, like they were a year before. He had a perfect smile with a set of perfect straight "Hawthorne" teeth.

He could grin and smile all he want, this girl was sort of depressing him. Why wasn't she JUMPING UP AND DOWN?!?!!?!?

"Yeah, okay," he said, not really remarking on the sort of complicated name. Ah-deh-lay-d. What was he supposed to say now? Mummy said to make friends by meeting people and now he'd officially met Ah-deh-lay-d, so were they automatically friends?

Perhaps he should just ask her? Mummy always told him to ask stuff too. "So what now?"

...

This felt weird. Benzi scratched the back of his neck.

Wade merely grinned at Nash, "Well, that's good.. You've been training for Quidditch too then?" He definitely was looking forward to trying out again. What else was new for Wade.. "Not a lot, yet.. I'm sure that'll change once I go with the other Prefects." Wade sighed before letting a hand run through his own hair before ruffling the back lightly, "I can't believe we're seventh years now, you know." It happened way too quickly, and at this rate he wanted to push out the thought of graduation even further. Which got him to think on something he wanted to know. "So.. you baked any goods lately?" A certain good made with a certain.. green something in it.

Aw, noooo! David knew that look on his wife's face. She wasn't one of those ugly criers -- she was, indeed, the most beautiful one -- but he still didn't like seeing her cry. Normally he'd hex or punch anyone who dared make her shed tears, but...he couldn't punch Troy. He was a kid and family. He reached for Demi's hand instead and squeezed it.

Of course Troy would want more money. He was like his sister. Heh. David dropped a few Galleons on to his hand. "Okay, but don't go wasting it on sweets. We'll have to take you to the dentist and they'll wrench your teeth out," he said casually. He tucked the pouch back into his pocket and ruffled the kid's hair. "Wasn't your friend supposed to be here?" The annoying little brat who talked back to David.

Demi smiled and felt so much at ease. She loved this man ever since she first met him and now he was all hers! No ones' but hers.

Troy slowly counted exactly how much his brother in law had given him and put it in his pocket "Oh I won't" He grinned and winked making it so obvious that he was going to do the opposite of what he was told not to do.

He shrugged and looked around, he was proud to announce that he had grown two inches over the summer. That was a big deal!

"I dunno, he probably fell into a hole sending him to another realm in which he is now the ruler of and has a growing empire." Troy nodded, that was a very fictional version of what his friend was doing at the moment and his current whereabouts.

Like he didn't know that look on Troy's face. "Oh sure you won't. Just I like I won't sketch." Which was impossible. Sketching was his thing and...part of his assignment. David shrugged. It wasn't like Troy was going to listen. Hmm. Maybe he had to put his daddy pants on and be all: "Now listen here, sonny."

Nah.

That wasn't happening. Chances are he'll burst out laughing instead.

David just blinked at the kid. He should really consider going into writing because he was a great story teller. "Oh really," David said. "Well--"

Right then a loud squealing interrupted him.


SQUEEEEEEEEEE! The wheels of a cart squeaked across the train station.

"Stop that buggy! Oh Merlin's pants, it's gone insane. Stop iiiiiit!" Lucian ran after the cart that carried his trunk. After running through the barrier he'd done what his dad told him not to; he ran with it, then tried jumping on it, but he lost hold of it. Now it was going to crash against someone and his belongings were going to fly off.

The buggy came to a sudden stop in front of a man. A familiar man. His face looked as if he were in pain. "Did your toes stop it?" he asked. The buggy WAS currently on David's foot. Well...what a reunion.

Demi's eyes widened if it wasn't because: A. He was a child and B. someone well known in her family; she would take of her sky high heels and smash his skull in for having nearly injured her husband.

"Awww David, are you okay?" Demi patted his shoulder.

"Daddy!" Allie squealed as if David had fallen off a cliff or something.

Troy kept looking back and forth between David and Lucian, this was funny! The young lion had a beaming smile on his face thinking about a pretzel with cheese that he was REALLY craving at the moment.

"Lobster, you hit my da- ... my brother!" Troy covered his mouth and giggled.

Oh Lobster! xD

David's eyes widened and he let go of Demi's hand, not wanting to squish it. His face went from pale with pain, to pink, to red, to purple. Then slowly, came back to its regular coloring. "Yes," he gasped, pushing the cart off his foot. His poor toes. THEY HURT. "Gah! Kid! What were you...I think one's broken!" He wasn't going to freak out, but he didn't feel his little toe, so he began to freak out.

Wait. Did Troy almost call him...nah. Or yah?

Owwww!

David hopped with his good foot. IT HURT REALLY BAD. "It's okay, honey," he said to Allie. He set his foot down and did his best to grin at her. No need to scare his little princess, but OW. "Daddy's okay." Not really.

Lucian clamped his hand over his mouth, though his eyes made it clear he wanted to laugh. "Sorry, sir," he mumbled against his hand. Oh boy, he should have seen himself when the buggy ran over his foot. It reminded him of his dog Kurt whenever someone mentioned bath.

"I didn't mean to!" Lucian protested. "It...it was the wall's fault. I think it pushed me or something." He rubbed his back just to put emphasis on it. Liiiiiiar. Good liiiiar, though.

A Gryffindor, eh? "That's cool." Dylan smiled up at her and nodded. "Yeah, I've heard they're all great. I'll enjoy any one of them." he said, yet he wasn't being totally honest. He knew for a fact he didn't want Slytherin. Not that it was that bad but...he just did not wanna be in that house. Although he knew he wouldn't be put in that house since he wasn't the Slytherin type-o-guy.

Allie was ready to charge at the young boy who harmed her Daddy. Well like they say like mother, like daughter and Allegra had her mother's personality not to mention her twin like looks from head to toe.

The wall? pssssh yeah nice one Lucian!

Troy just stood there with a smile from ear to ear.

"That's one nasty wall." Troy teased and laughed his little brains off.

And silence. Awkward awkward silence. Adelaide looked around the platform a bit awkwardly. She glanced back over at Stan, who was still talking to that other girl.

She turned back to Benzi. "Uhh...I think we're supposed to get ready to go on the train." Oreo let out another little meow of complaint out. The cat really wanted out of that cage.

"Oh, aren't you ready? My mum helped me with my stuff," Benzi replied, and then blinked at her cat, which had made a noise. Benzi didn't really like animals all that much, especially owls. There hadn't been too many owls back in Kenya, for obvious reasons, and Benzi had found that the animals really didn't like him back.

Cats were better. Of course, they all had nothing on his dog at home, since Rosa was the best thing EVERRRR, but cats were definitely better than owls. The eleven year old had promised Mummy he would try and get along with the school owls, but every single owl he'd come across had bitten him so it really wasn't his fault he didn't like them. Psht.

Adelaide looked down at her cat cage. "I got my trunk with the others. Just gotta get on soon because Oreo here isn't very happy about being in this cage." She looked down at the cage. Maybe she could let him out in the compartment for a bit.

She looked back up at Benzi, noticing the look on his face. "Don't worry about him. He's harmless. Just a bit grumpy."

Tay shrugged, "I guess so... I never tried it and I dont plan on trying it... so I guess I will just take your word on that, Brodie." Taylor looked at him and frowned, "Oh... well... that would be... interesting?" She didnt really know what to say to that. Tay started to wonder if he was going to ask her the same question, if he expected her to just say or if he was going to just try to end the conversation right then and there. She smiled as he asked her. "Well... hmmm..." Taylor tilted her head and looked at him, twisting her short multi-colored curls as she thought about how to answer him, "I am probably gonna move around through out the ride but I think I am gonna sit with Nash or maybe Harvs... I havent talked to Harvs in a few days and I miss him though I wanna find out more about Nash since he seems interesting. I might run into Mins, Lily and a few others so no one in particular..." Taylor trailed off and shrugged, smiling. "Maybe, if ya want, we can sit together sometime during the train..." Tay shrugged and giggled, looking at him and just beaming. "Though if you prefer strangers or no one, then I guess I would just see ya at the feast... or something..." She shrugged again, more of an 'I-dont-really-care' thing than an 'I-dont-know' thing. Taylor frowned, "That sounds horrible..." Her eyes grew when she realized what she had just said, "I am so sorry! I didnt mean to say that..." She blushed and sighed, frowing.

Just stab after stab after stab with this one... "I can't blame you for that one." He didn't know really how to respond to that so... He just gave a nod, "Sounds... fun." More like his heart was just stomped on, "No... You go ahead and have your fun... I guess I'll be fine on my own... It's how it'll be all year anyways." And then the shrug and that comment. As much as he loved her, he couldn't fight a glare, "Well, sorry I didn't have the money or health to just run around and have fun all summer like some." That really ticked him off... She wanted to be his friend, and now she wanted to be rude and she also wanted to be there for him and left him alone in a hospital all summer. Not to mention he was only here for her, he didn't want to be here at all, but because she wanted him, here he was, and she treated him like this. Some great friend she was turning out to be now.

Taylor shrugged, "Eh." Tay nodded, "Okay, if you wish that." She was happy because didnt really want to hang with him today. Taylor frowned, "You wont be alone all year." Tay gasped and growled at him. She narrowed her eyes and crossed her arms. Taylor hissed, "I didnt run around and have fun all summer thank you very much. I was working this summer like I do every summer..." Tay huffed, "I worked at the dance school as well as intern at Daily Prophet so excuse me." Taylor glared at him and snarled, "I guess you rather not be my friend then." She tried to keep the tears from coming as she turned her back on him.

Adi nodded as he looked around the crowded station. He understood. He had not realised so many students went to Hogwarts. "I suppose I'll have to get used to this hustle and bustle then as I have to go through this for six years after this.'' Not that he minded. As long as no one crashed into him, he was good.

"Oh! I'm sorry about that,'' Adi said apologetically. "But it's cool that your a Hufflepuff. I haven't really thought much about which I want to be sorted in,'' he told the girl. "My mom was a Gryffindor so maybe I'll be stuck there too?'' He grinned "But I really don't mind which I'm sorted into. And sure! I'll call you Anna.'' Oh! She had a friend who graduated? Adi could hardly imagine himself graduating. There were loads of years before that could happen.

Adi happily towed after Anna. He was content in being out of the rush. Plus he got to listen to her first year experience. He knew about the financial difficulties that Hogwarts has been going through but he didn't know it was that bad. Doing their own laundry?! Ugh! He hated doing stuff like that. He didn't mind the dixie plates though. "I hope it gets better,'' the boy said. "Otherwise you'll have to help me with the laundry.'' He grinned again. "I've never done that before.'' The classes sounded like fun! He was particularly amused by the Professor who made them do yoga. ''She and my mom would get along fine! Mom's really in to yoga. She practices it almost everyday.'' Adi himself had never bothered with yoga. Oh well. It looks as if that was going to change now. "So, Anna, which is the most complicated subject for you? I think mine might be History of Magic. I'm no good with dates and unless we have a fun teacher who has fun classes, I don't see myself doing that well at it.'' So hopefully would put some practicals or fun activities into the lessons.

He nodded and sighed, she really just didn't care about him anymore. So much for a great friend... not just that but she knew how he felt for her and she wanted to treat him like this. "I really have a hard time believing that." She'd be busy with Harvey or Nash, or whoever else came up he was sure. He looked at her, "But clearly you still got to have fun." Not just that but hey, left alone in a hospital all summer basically, when someone promised to at least visit him, but of course she clearly had no time for that. He looked at her and then sighed, "The thing that sucks is that you're right. But not in the way you think." He looked at her then away, "After all, I wouldn't come back to somewhere I didn't want to be if it was someone I felt was only a friend." He turned away from her trying to take a step before one of his legs cut out, sending him fumbling, trying to keep a grip on his bags to keep himself up.

Tay sighed and looked at him, "Fine, dont believe me..." She frowned, "Oh, yeah, a few days in the couple months." Taylor crossed her arms and felt like crying. Tay just gave him a look at the 'you're right' thing. "Brodie, stop thinking of me that way... please... I dont love you anymore... please just move on." She frowned and sighed. Tay flinched and turned to meet him as she heard him fall. Taylor turned and went to help him up. She held out her hand to him and looked away, just wishing he would take her hand and then just go away or something...

Hoodie zipped, hood up, and shades on, the fifth year slowly pushed he belongings through the crowded platform, alone. Even though his parents were still in England, he didn't want any awkward drawin out goodbyes. Especially in front of... people. Yes, he may have been avoiding a certain horrible blonde person, but people in general. Which was really hard when a place was full of people you know.

"A few days? Even that's better than my summer." She really had forgotten him. It hurt and angered him at the same time. Had it been her in the hospital, together or not, he'd see her every single day he could. No, she just left him alone instead, going off and just forgetting him. Had they not paid attention to him chances were he would've flatlined again. "Just telling me to forget you isn't going to help anything." He looked at her hand and just grinted his teeth, pulling himself up with his one good arm and reached for his crutch. He didn't want her help, he'd done all of this on his own so far, he didn't need it now. No, when he'd needed someone there she'd just left him to lay in a hospital bed alone.

Annabeth thought for a moment it would be sad if Adi were sorted into Gryffindor and frowned.
"I don't like History of Magic, it's the most boring subject. The teacher tried to let it more interesting, but it still boring after some time..." She looked at the train which has just arrived:
"I think it'd better to come in or we couldn't find a nice place to sit. I like travelling beside a window." She grabbed his hand again and led him into the train.

Hmm, not at all? Ryan gave her a look, which she couldn't see since her face was snuggled into him. "Because you love me?" He asked her as he enveloped her completely in his arms. He knew she was joking but she had spoiled him a little too much over the summer and now he expecting things all the time. Like now.

HOLY ASDFGHJKL!!!!!!

He never wanted to go through that wall again!!!

Shaking his head slightly he let out the breathe he was holding as he passed the barrier and onto the platform. Scary barrier that made his head hurt. He looked over to his left and saw nothing more than the Hogwarts Express, sitting there waiting for him to board it. He looked up and around for a clock to see how much time he had but didnt see one, surely they'd do a final boarding call, yeah?

Pushing his trolley in front of him he went over away from thee entrance barrier to an area where he could just stand back and observe. Maybe find Lex, or Mikes sister, either one would make him just a bit more happy than he was presently.

Platform. Train. YES!

Holding Lola in one hand and pushing her trolley with the other, Delilah made her way through the not-so-crowded platform until she spotted an empty bench and sat down. She couldn't believe she was here, finally! Well.. not 'finally' because she did have a fantastic summer exploring London, spending time with the family and getting to meet all the Hogwartians and the soon-to-be-Hogwartians, like herself.

Cuddling her kitty, she looked around the platform, trying to spot a familiar face. Because she didn't want to be sitting here alone without anyone to talk to. That would be so boring!
