i bet you will be a good witch" emily looked down to her kneazle then back to nancy "i have no clue what to expect"

"At least you're getting hugged, kid," Copernicus made a face. The boy had... vomit on him and Cela was voluntarily touching him?

And then Cope was supposed to hug her for realsies? Sigh. He would too, because even stinky she was perfect, but... ew. Not hygenic.

"Cel, should we get a prefect?"

Counting the number of people who walked past her without even looking at her was getting a little boring. Hogwarts kids must see a lot of things that a girl sitting in the middle of the train corridor must be old hat. Eh, she didn't really care. It was actually kind of amusing to just watch the people around her.

She was feeling a little tired and wished she could sleep. She glanced back at the compartment she left a little while ago and saw there was no chance of sleeping there. Maybe counting students could be a little like counting sheep.

8...9...10

"Careful there, miss. You're going to get trampled," Copernicus spotted the girl sitting on the floor in the corridor and offered her a hand up. "You shouldn't sit out here. Can't you find a compartment?"

Emily took to playing with magic again, it was getting dark outside so she thought she'd try a new spell, lumos. Emily got out a book and found the proper wand movements a little beforehand. "okay now.... lumos" her wand flickered a little, "oh well it was just a first try", she cleared her throat and tried again "lumos" her wand glowed like a flashlight, looking down at the spell book she found the next spell "lumos maxima!" the entire compartment lit up with light as if it were 2 in the afternoon on a hot summer day. now slightly blinded she looked down

"nox" she said and the light went out completely. after her eyes adjusted tot he lighting

she felt quite proud of herself

Oh, Sigh.

She was spotted. Looking up at the person standing above her, Arabelle saw a hand in front of her face. She grabbed hold of it and hoisted herself off the floor. She scowled at the mention of her getting trampled. "I'm not invisible, people could move out of the way." Right. Like she wasn't just counting the number of people who didn't see her at all.

"No, I can't find a compartment. There was much more space out here. Do I really have to move?" Arabelle put on her best 'sad face.' She really didn't want to sit next to that loud sixth year again.

"Can do! I've baked a cake for Reese. And made a Baked Alaska for Professor Bunbury. Hopefully she will eat it. She sorta thinks I'm stalking her." If he hadn't have been planning that love potion earlier on, he would have felt insulted that she might think him capable of something like that. And contemplating and making the potion made him just as guilty as he would have been if he put the potion in the dessert. "Yes, it would be," he agreed. "Even if she's only 29."

He smiled at the comment about that being a good idea and then laughed at her next one. "Is that so? Well then, I guess that sorta does make me popular then." He nodded at that last comment. "I think he might be starting to."

Michael jumped on the train. He wondered... How many house points would he earn for Slytherin this year. Hopefully, alot. He couldn't wait until the arrival at Hogwarts.

emily got up to see if there was anyone in the corridor of the train but when she got up she tripped over a book onthe floor and fell head first into the corridor, she was now laying in aheap on the floor, rubbin her head. Her kneazle looked out of the compartment and meowed.

Yay for hugs.

...

Well Cela found it comforting anyway.

"Hugs always help." Cela insisted, giving Willie's injured shoulder a gentle rub and pulling back from him. "The vomit smell is really bad." Cela's eyes widened and she pulled her wand out again, pointing it at Willie. "Odoris Subsisto!" She cast at him and then again at herself and Daph just to be sure.

Pleased that the stink was gone, she looked up at Copernicus.

"Why would we need a prefect?" Celandine laughed a little at that. What could any prefect do that she couldn't? She could help Willie! And she gave good hugs!

She examined him and noticed there was still some gunk on his pants. "Tergeo." She siphoned off the goo then vanished it. "Better?" She turned to Daphne to get her approval. "Need to do more, do you think?"

Cela peeked back over at Copernicus who was helping a little firstie and she offered up a friendly smile, listening in. "There is always space on the Hogwarts Express, you just have to know how to look." And how to take over a compartment when they were all occupied.

Kloe had dozed off and she didn't realize that a new girl named Nancy had joined them and Emily was laying halfway in the compartment and halfway in the corrider. Kloe jumped up and went over to Emily to help her up, "Are you okay?" asked Kloe.

oh im fine, this happens t me all the time" said emily getting to her feet. "have a nice nap?"

"Yes," replied Kloe, "I didn't get very much sleep last night." "Lumos," said Kloe, "Sorry I am looking for a blanket, I put a charm on my purse so that I could fit a lot of stuff, I am cold for some reason, are you?"

Mystic seeing that Aaron came back from the trolley. "Welcome back."

"my toes are actually very cold" emily laughed and found her special thermal socks with the toe warmers and put them on "much better, i think im going to have a nap now, sorry for not being up to chat but it has been a long day" emily got a blanket from her trunk and sat next to arakhora and doezed off.

Kloe was tried to she said, "Good night," and then she found her blanket and a pillow, she said "nox,", layed her blanket and pillow on the floor, (since there was no other place to lay down) and fell asleep as soon as she layed down.

Wrinkling her nose, Daphne whipped out her own wand determined to rid Willie Crocker of whatever stink that still was clinging to him. Scrutinizing his trousers severely, the blond flicked her wand repeatedly, disappearing bits and chunks of vomit.



Gross.

"I think he's set now," replied Daphne to Celandine with a smile. "Are you alright now, Willie."

Glancing over her shoulder at Copernicus, Daphne raised a brow. Helping firsties? Nice. Very nice.

Arakhora stirred and her green eyes fluttered open. "Mhmmm... wha, who are all you people!?" She sighed, "Your clumsiness really does attract people, doesn't it?" She looked to the others in the train, "My name is Arakhora Daoin, third year Gryffindor. Seeing how you humans tend to stare, I'll state now that I am half elf, so my ears aren't a birth defect." Arakhora had her times when she was abnormally blunt. "Do introduce yourselves." As she pronounced do she elongated the vowel in an almost rude manner.

"And Emily, do sit down before you seriously injur yourself. I don't want to have to introduce you to the nurse early. I hope I've not missed the trolley, I do so want some Berty Bott's Every Flavored Beans and some chocolate frogs."

Arakhora's hands cupped her tiny elven cat in her hands. He looked like a snowball with giant, fluffy iceicles on one side and wth some strange grey snow on top of them. Elios mewed with his master's awakening, stretched his body and jumped back in Arakhora's hands, watching everyone, Bubbles inparticular and seemed to be waiting for something.

Arakhora looked around "my, this compartment is getting full. That makes five of us now, right? One more and we will be full. Turn away any more that makes our number greater than six, would you." That superior air of hers really seemed to tick people off some days.

*Looks around very shocked* "They're all asleep?" T__T Arakhora grabbed her blanket, which was silver with shining green thread, out of her beautifully carved trunk and cuddled up next to Emily and muttered somethign about baked potatoes and pudding being soft and dozed off.

"You don't HAVE to move. All about freedom to choose and all that, I suppose. But I recommend it. The place is so packed here that people almost never look down and then you're all stepped on. And you're a bitty little thing and we can't have you getting smooshed any smaller."

He grinned at her. "Give me a second, and I'll help you find a compartment."

"Cel, I'm taking my new friend here to find a space. If you get some time, come along and find me." YEAH SO? He was sulking a LITTLE bit, but it was his last ride to school and he hadn't seen Cel in a while and he WANTED to sulk.

The girls still had him in a hug and Willie was now close to feeling suffocated by them. In a good way, of course. He had heard a boy's voice, or man since Willie's own voice compared to his sounded too squeaky. He looked up and it was still that boy who Cela had her arms around his legs not a while ago. Willie blinked at him and then a smile slowly appeared at his statement. True, he was getting hugs from pretty girls.

Hehehe.

He blinked again once again when the boy said prefects. Why call a prefect?! Did he know he stole some stuff?! Willie's blinked like an owl at him, his small body tensing. But then Cela pulled away, cleaned his clothes and laughed at the older boy's comment. Relief washed through him and he gave a sigh of comfort. That was too close.

And then Daphne now waved her wand as well, cleaning off bits Cela didn't see. These girls were just too nice. "Yeaaah, I'-- Where'th my bag?" He asked, furrowing his brows in concern. His bag must've fallen when he fell and in that bag he had stashed all of his stolen objects.

"It's... It'th a black bag."

Lizzie turned around, a little smile appearing on her face, as she heard the familiar sound of Natka's voice. Wrapping her arms around her friend she hugged her tight. Natka was always like a safe home for her, just as Ian always had been back home in the muggle world.

I'm so glad you're here! she said and leaned backwards to see Natka's face. I've missed you this summer, I wish we could have hung out some. She studied the girl for a sec and smiled wider. You've grown some, haven't you? Don't tell me I'm getting smaller, that would be depressing. She winked. I don't think I've grown anything during the last year...

With a sigh she sat down and pulled Natka with her down on the seats opposite to the girl with glasses who she didn't yet know very well, Chris and Jenn. Facing Natka she said Yeah you read me like an open book. I've been so busy this summer and even though I'm excited about going back I feel so low. My parents got divorced after fighting for so long.. And since I'm the only kid still at home...

She paused, wondering if she'd told Natka about John, and decided to add Y'know after John ran away from home last spring.. She rolled her eyes, her brother had turned from sweetest ever to a criminal rebel. And he was just turning 17! Anyway, so I've been creating a second home which is a pain, not at all as fun as you might think. She shuddered and smiled a bit. So, enough of misery. How's your summer been sweetie? Last time she'd seen her friend she had been very much in love... Wondering what might have happened during the summer, she waited patiently to hear about it.

Lizzie listened to the girl speaking, quietly grabbing Natka's hand. She felt like she needed her friend at the moment. Facing Song Jin, she smiled a bit and siad That's interesting. I've never been to South Korea but I know it's in Asia, right? Hearing Song tell her how hard it was going to a new school, she said No worries. Hogwarts is fun, you'll love it. And just ask me if there's anything you wonder or any classes you can't find. I love helping people, and I got lost about every day during my first year. She got curious and added How come your english is so good?

Lizzie looked away from the conversation for a second and saw Kevin walk by the comparment. She waves, not sure if he'd seen her, and turned back to her friends once he'd passed.

Lizzie felt like she blushed a tiny bit but was sure she didn't. Thanks, I'll remember that if I'm ever in the situation of both my parent throwing me out on the street at once.. she said with an ironic smile towards him, but she did apprichiate it. It was just a bit awkward, she liked Chris as a friend now but staying at his house...? Well she would if it ever became nessesairy. I would invite you to do the same, but right now it might not be the best idea.. She rolled her eyes sadly.

Listening to Chris and Song discuss the matter of Professor Lupa, Lizzie sighed and leaned back in the seat. She felt like Ancient Runes for that long? Fact was that she couldn't recall ever meeting a Professor Lupa.. But maybe she just didn't pay that good attention in class.. And she hadn't had Ancient Runes last term, right? Confusing, oh yes her life was confusing.

Arabelle considered the boy offering to help her for a second. She didn't have to move, and thought about staying right where she was. It was nice out here. But he was right, it probably wasn't such a good idea.

Bitty little thing? She happened to grow 4 inches over the summer. She frowned a bit. So what if she was still a little short? It wasn't that noticeable anymore. But still, he seemed a nice enough guy. She gave a little sigh or surrender and spoke up.

"Alright, fine. Let's go find a compartment. Preferably one not so packed that I get squished anyway."

Celandine nodded thoughtfully, agreeing that Willie was now at least clean. She turned to face Willie with obvious consternation.

"Oh no! You lost your bag? Was it important? Is your name on it? Should we look for it? We could just buy you a new one."

Celandine looked up at Copernicus and offered him a smile that was all sunshine and roses. "I'll find you. We can... find someplace and you can snog me senseless." She suggested with a little laugh.

She smiled at the firstie girl and offered a little wave.

Willie Crocker better appreciate that he was TOTALLY monopolising her Cope-time.

Oh. Barf.

Rolling eyes heavenward, behind Celandine's back Daphne Hopton did her best not to picture her friend being snogged senseless.

Oh. The trauma.

"Retrace your steps, Willie," suggested Daphne tapping her temple. "Where do you last remember having it?"

"Gracious too," Copernicus teased, since obviously the girl was accepting his help with rather ill humor. Well. You simply couldn't win them all. He grinned at her again and gestured for her to lead the way.

"Cela," Cope whispered with a little scandalized shake of his head. Snog discussion? In public? In front of DAPHNE HOPTON? Cope gave Cela's friend a wide eyed look accompanied by a shake of the head. He would NOT be making anyone senseless any time soon.

"You have too much sense to go senseless, Sunshine. I'll... yeah. Bye."

Willie watched Cela as she looked over at the boy and discussed snogging with him. Making a cringed disgusted face, he looked over at Daphne and then gave her a small smile. "UM. It wath with me before I fell, it wath." He told her, furrowing his brows. "And nooo! You're not buyin' me a new one, Cela! I dun want it. I dun want shoeth and I dun want a new bag!"

Arabelle wrinkled her nose at the way the boy pointed out her rather rude behavior. This wasn't the way she should be acting towards the first person to help her out.

"Sorry. It's just this is not the way I pictured going to Hogwarts would be like. The train ride is falling a little short of expectations, is all." She attempted a little smile back, before she heard another girl speak to the boy.

"Oh, ew." She made a little gagging noise. That was not something she needed to hear. Older people confused her. The girl waved at her and she half-waved back. She waited for the boy to respond before walking down the corridor, looking for a compartment.
