Aaron lugged Satine's trunk onto the shelf and put her chinchilla's cage onto a seat. "I think my Uncle Ben's already got a tent. But thanks anyway!" Aaron smiled and forget all about the sadness of that day. "We definitely have to hang out before and after the Cup!" Aaron couldn't be happier right then. He looked down at Bruce and took a little peace of parchment. He took out a muggle pencil and wrote a response of Aaron being super excited. He tied onto Bruce's leg and let him fly out the window. He turned back to Satine with a huge smile on his face. "I need a hug." he said with his arms wide.

For once Ainsley was a little glad when the train finally arrived to take them home. Whatever she had expected from the end of term feast it certainly wasn't what had happened and the girl wasn't sure what to make of it even after the crazy year that had happened.

After depositing her trunk in the luggage car, the gryffindor made her way through the rest of the train, looking around to see if she could spot a place for her amongst the already gathered students as she carried a small cage containing her dozing owl. Coming up to one compartment, Ainsley spotted a somewhat familiar face, having grown aquainted with a ravenclaw through one of the more ackward moments of the term. "Mind if I join you?" she asked stepping just halfway inside the threshold.

Mina smiled as she looked up to see Carter. "Hey Carter. I was starting to worry that I wasn't going to see you before the summer started." She did catch a glimpse at him during the feast, but she was a bit distracted with all the things going on.

Carter laughed. "I wouldn't let that happen. I couldn't let the summer start without saying goodbye to my favorite Ravenclaw." he said with a smile.

Mina blushed a little and laughed. "Always the charmer, aren't you, Carter?" Shaking her head a little. "Well, just so you know I can have a good summer now that I've seen my favorite Gryffindors now." At least she got to see most of her friends before being taken to who knows where after arriving in London.

" Yes, you turning into an animal is good for you" Jason told Victoria. " I am not sure I can handle you changinginto an animal" Jason said to Victoria sadly. " You will know everthig I do like get birthday presents for you" Jason laughed a little.

Hi Nikki" Jason said to her. " I just wanted to invite you over to my castle for the summer" Jason told Nikki. " I just graduated and plan to have a lot of fun over the summer" he explained to Nikki.

"Ella, so I see you have an ipod" Jason told her. "What songs are on yoru ipod?" Jason asked Ella. "Glad I met you on the train" Jason said to Ella.

" You were hiding from me, wow, you are good" Jason told Mina. " Eho gave you the broken heart, your "big brother" will tell him off" Jason laughed.
"At least, you did not have to take N/E.W.T.S. and O.W.L.S., oh I did not take them but I did take the class finals, they were hard" Jason said to Mina.
" you will not miss me if you come over to my castle for the summer" Jason explained to Mina.

Mina laughed. "I'm pretty good at hide and seek, really. I play it with my siblings from time to time." Well, she called it that, her siblings called it Mina locking herself in the library reading, but that was neither here or there. She shook her head and giggled a little at hearing Jason's offer. "It really was a childish crush at the most, no need to tell anyone off. One day he'll realize what he missed and that will be justice enough." It really was childish, she was still very young and as her cousin used to tell her, boys in general are just trouble. "Yeah, I never expected the finals to be so hard, but at least we all survived them." she smiled at him. "Sure, I'd love to come over. I'll have to stop by sometime. I'm supposed to go on an adventure with my cousin, Jade for a few days but I'll make it to the castle still. Maybe sometime between this stupid family thing I have once we get to London and my trip with Jade." She really didn't want to go to the family thing, but she had to. She really wanted to go to the Quidditch Cup instead. "So what are you're plans for the summer, well besides spending time at the castle?" she asked.

Daniel nodded and smiled at his former dorm mate. "Yes, because you bear the Lion's heart." he said and chuckled. "By the way, want to join me and my godfather to watch the Quidditch World Cup?" Daniel nodded. "We have one spare ticket." he added.

"What do you think about Katalin's pregnancy?" she asked her boyfriend, she would miss him next term.

Evan made a face that clearly said he was cursing inside that walking all the train with heavy luggage had been in vain. He was a little upset about Lyra and Fallon too. So was this the way they said goodbye? Humming things that weren't very suitable for a thirteen-year-old, he noticed that Aaron and Beaumont were good with him, though Beaumont still continued calling him with his surname. Whatever. He didn't reckon he and she would be friends anyway.

Then Satine walked in. He offered a polite smile. He wasn't in the mood to stay and chit-chat, he realised. He eyed his bag again and considered his options-he could either stay here and had to be extremely polite, or he could stand to some more torture of carrying it and be alone. He decided on the second one as he got up. "Er... see you later." he said as he held his luggage once again. Taking a mental note for not to bring so many things next year, he walked out of the compartment, looking for an empty one, or someone he knew and could talk while being himself.

Satine listened to Aaron's excitement about the cup..."O, yes yes yes yes we must hang out...maybe our tents will be close to each other...that would be just perfect...." she watched as Aaron wrote his letter...this might be the best summer yet....

She smiled widely when he asked for a hug...."of course you can have a hug Aaron, those are my speciality you know..." she said as she leaned over and squeezed him as hard she could...it was a loving but playful hug that close friends quite often do....

As she leaned back, her mind was still on the cup, "Well, what team are you rooting for...okay wait...who's playing....and who do you think is going to win...you're my only Quidditch friends...and I know nothing about it..." she said thinking her mom would be ashamed to hear her daughter say that.

Satine took a seat and smiled back at Evan..."Well, it's great to see you all, and you too Evan..." she said with a wink...but her words were cut off as he got up to leave the compartment....

She glanced at Aaron and Iris as she called after Evan, "If I was interrupting something, I can always come back...I didn't mean to make you leave..." but her words trailed off and she glanced back at her friends with a questioning look.

"Well, do y'all think someone should go after him?" she said more out of politeness than anything else.

Lyra had stepped in the back of the train and was now busying herself by dragging her luggage to the front of the train. Why? she didn't know, maybe because she wanted to see the train again for the last time? She could not believe she had only been at Hogwarts for two years and now she had to leave on a stupid bussiness field trip with her parents. They never cared for her that they would take her on a field trip, just work. But still, in her heart she was happy that she was finally going to do something with her parents.

Breathing heavily, Lyra continued to drag her school stuff and was now at the front of the train. She looked at her watch and was suprised she had walked the whole way with her heavy luggage in a very short time. The Slytherin looked away from her watch only to see Evan wandering the corridor at the end "Evan!" she shouted and dragged her luggage faster towards him. A few seconds later, Lyra was beside him and grinned. "Hey you, you wanna find a compartment?" she asked.

Tammy frowned, and kept her arms around him sniffling. "I knowww. But it sorta is, we wont ever be on this train again together.. Never at school together.. Torin, I dont wanna leave. DONT!" She frowned deeply and buried her head into him.

At first, it sounded like a dream. Lyra's voice reached to his ears finally, and Evan turned to a grinning Lyra. He immediately grinned back. Who wouldn't smile at her while she was smiling too?

"Yes. I must find an empty compartment." he said, getting suddenly serious. Lyra was leaving. The agonizing truth had hit him once again. As he checked some of the compartments, he said "Fallon's leaving too. Have I mentioned?" He tried to be casual, but he failed. There was a hint of anger in his voice that said 'Why she too?', a question he had been asking lately very much.

At last, he found it which was away from Aaron's and Iris'. He relieved. "How about this compartment?" he turned to Lyra. Thank Merlin he had something to be busy with other than controlling himself.

A trip to the front of the train wouldn't do any wrong to Em. Besides, he needed to say goodbye to a few friends he knew wouldn't be so close to be seen soon. So, he stepped out of the compartment at the back of the train and headed to the front, guitar at his back and his school bag carrying a few of his personal belongings.

Who would he find?

We'd never know...

Shana slumped around dragging her feet along the floor as she walked. Today was a SAD-SAD-SAD day, her bestestestest friend in the world was leaving. Siiiiigh. And he wasn't even in his 7th year. She spotted the boy whose name she had to embreviate because she couldnt pronounce it properly. She walked into his compartment and smiled slightly. "Mind if I join you ?"

Since Emiliano had landed inside an empty compartment, he was starting to play his guitar again, strumming a bit, humming a few notes himself and trying to forget it was his last day.

That's when his concentration was lost. Shana, a younger student...the very young one who couldn't pronounce his name right stepped into the compartment. "Sure..." Em said, gesturing a seat in front of him. Though, he noticed Shana's expression. "Are you alright, Shana?" He asked her a bit worried.

She was wondering if anyone was going to join them, she decided that she better start studying her book.

Shana smiled and sat down oppisite Emililano, her feet not quite reaching the floor. She swung her feet forward and back, forward and back, forward and back. She continued swinging them until she swung them soooo high she kicked Em, accidently. "Sorry." she mummbled, kinda embarresed.

She moved over ever so slightly, saying his name over and over trying to get it right. Epic fail. She'd get it right, one day oh yes she would! "Um yeah well no, Not really I dont want anyone to leavee! Ashton's leaving and ill never see him again and its not even his time to leave! And my bestestest friends leaving too and he's only a fourth year." Le sigh.

Carter laughed. "I try." he joked. "I hope you have a good summer. Don't let those sisters of yours get to you. Oh, and are you planning on going to the Quidditch Cup?"

AOUCHHH!!!

What were Shana's boots made of? They kicked Emiliano's nose, which he felt it was bleeding, but it was only false alarm. Whew!! "Umm...no worries..." Emiliano said, still holding his nose with his right hand as he let the guitar down for a bit.

Aww...poor girl. "I'm so sorry, Shana...but yeah...not many students are set to be here their whole seven years...or end their studies here..." Yeah, it was saaaaaaaaaaaad. " He patted her back and smiled as an idea popped into his head. "Hey, would you like me to play a song for you...? Just to say goodbye..." Nice...another person he'd have to say bye.

OHMIPANDA! Phewy. He was okay, that was good. "Yeah umm, right umm sorry again." she said blushing slightly.

"Its fine." she beamed as he offered to play her a song. "WOW! You play the guitar ?" ....well obviously he was holding one. "Oh Yes, Oh yes please! I like hugs too." she beamed again, slightly forgetting that Fyo was leaving.

This was so sad. He was sad now. He clung to Tammy as she sniffled into him. "But it's only a few more years I'm coming. Then I'm all yours." It was true. He would be with Tammy forever.

Tammy looked up at him and pouted. "All mine?" Of course he was, he wasnt noone elses Princess. Just hers. "I love you Torin, I really do. You're so good to me. Noone else can replace you in my heart."

"All yours. I promise." Well, hers and Brody's but he loved them both and he would be there for both. They were his special ladies. "I love you too, Tammy. My best friend." This was getting so sappy and sentimental.
