Ouch. Poorpoorpoor Cy. He was getting yelled at by Katie again. How sad. To bad Katie's words barley affected them anymore. Legend wondered if there would be a day that Katie lost her voice for screaming so much.

Legend turned to Cy."Oh man! You made Abie drop you off? Thats soo scary. I would never let my grandmother drop me off. She would get mad...and like smack me on the head. Or like give me scary looks." Haha maybe thats why Abie was so much cooler. Legend gave the other Gryffie a small kick. "Mat did you find...the dude?" Hopefully he would understand what he meant. It was cool being a spy like and talking in code.

The twelve year old rolled his eyes. Gah. She really didn't think did she? "I wouldn't take him back after he got lost I would take him back after you found him DUH." Like seriously? That was obvious."Blahblahblah but nooooo you had to be mean." Legend mimicked. "What ever you say KatieCub and boys grow faster because they are better. Right Cy?" He looked over toward the Huffie.

YEAH! Jae and Danny! And....FreeWilly.....he was...okay. Legend was excited to see them all again. And....FreeWilly too...sorta.

Was Cy saying that a dog was harder to sneak on than a fox? Um no. Just because Pluto was tiny didn't mean anything. Cy just wouldn't admit he didn't have the Prince like skills. But he wouldn't say that. That was meaan. Plus Cy let it drop, because Legend is awesome.

Legend nodded his head, his grin widened. "Yeah! And I....." He paused...telling wasn't really a good idea was it? Nah. It was suppose to be....a secret. "Did some stuff. And hung out. And uh....I like hung out with my friend Leah for a couple of days." Leah was so much better this time. She did NOT pat him on the head like a dog for once.

He rolled his eyes. "Try not to get in trouble? I don't even care. It's like when Bunbunny or whatever that teacher's name is tried to mess with me I was like. Yoooou think I care? No! Let me eat my popcorn in peace! Walk away old lady. And that was the end of that." Hahah. No. Not really.

It was like BOOM the compartment door burst open and out fell-
LANDO. What an entrance. Legend had been so right to let him in the group."Hey Orlando...you alright there?" He asked standing to help him up.

"Well that's good! You've changed my mind about Ravenclaw, I'm really excited about Hufflepuff now! So do you have alot of friend that are in Hufflepuff?" Avery just kept on babbling away waiting for the boys to say something, in the mean time she would just keep talking away to Cadence. "So do you know any good curses? Or wait...are we not allowed to us them? Ever been in a duel?" She asked way too many questions she realized.

Cadence giggled. "Well! I'm glad I changed your mind! And no, I don't have many friends at all really because I've been away so long, but it's really easy to make friends in Hufflepuff. I've never been in a duel, but..." Cadence lowered her voice and leaned close to Avery for dramatic effect, "Before I left, I completely destroyed the Common Room!" Cadence giggled again and straightened back up, returning to her usual bubbly tone of voice. "Or so I'm told. I don't remember it; that's just what they told me at the hospital."

Not paying attention to where she was going, Arya ran into what felt like a soft wall. Rocking back she felt what she realized was another student reach out and steady her."Yea,I'm fine...not sure about Perseus." As she reached back to make sure her kitten was ok, Arya looked up to see a older girl who according the badge on her robe was a Hufflepuff."Hey, your in Hufflepuff! My brother was in that house. Oh, I'm Arya." Once she saw the badge she had completly forgotten about what had just happened and was back to her cheery self. Perseus being his curious self, poped up from her hood and onto Arya's shoulder.

"Haha.. Sorry." Rosalie replied looking slightly embarrased.

"I'm aiming for Slytherin actually. Which is a surprise since my whole family has either been in Gryffindor or Hufflepuff. But I know I'm different than my family."
She stopped staring at Ken. For she knew it was kind of creepy for her to be looking at him.

Perseus? Wh--? Oh a cat? Sarah smiled as she saw the little thing pop up, relieved that it, and it's owner were ok. "I'm glad," she grinned, brushing off the girls shoulder in a semi-quasi mothering way.She was slightly taken aback, however, when the girl got all excited.She wasn't expecting that one. "Oh, yes I am," she stammered. "Also one of the Hufflepuff Prefects, so if you ever need anything, just come find me.And it's nice to meet you, Arya," Sarah stretched out her hand in a formal greeting way. "I'm Sarah Griffin....What was your brother's name?" It looked for all the world that the girl was about to bounce.

Enjoying the reaction of Katie was having toward Cy, Mat was trying very hard not to burst into laughter. This was so fun and he totally knew she would react that way. Her and nickname weren't the best combination but it was so much fun. Why resist?

Jumping next to Katie, he snort when she mention she wasn't that short. Well she was shorter than him. "Of course you are not THAT short. You are just really tiny." With that said, Mat stick out his tongue at her and bounces back next to Cy. "I totally know why girls doesn't grow as fast as boy. YAA!!! Because girls are annoying and we are cool." Scratching the top of his hair, he felt that Seth was now climbing on his shoulder. Deciding on helping him, he put him on his lap so he could be able to see everything.

Oh yeah, first mistake of the day. DO NOT TOUCH GIRLS HAIR! Turning his attention toward the boys, Mat rolled his eyes. "What is it with girls and hair. CHILL MAE!! Don't won't disappear because someone touch them. DUH!!" When he heard the name of a certain Orlando, Mat didn't remember if he had ever met him before. Probably not but he was hoping he wouldn't be on Katie's side.

His attention were recapture by Cy and the word destruction he had used. Looking back at Katie with a sly smile on his face he chuckle. "I so looooooooooooove destruction."

Turning his head toward Legend, he laughed when he mention how scary it must have been being drop by Abie. "Ya know Abie, is like super cool but his old and all so it took so much time. Plus I had Seth with me to entertain me if I was bored so it was nothing." Bouncing on his seat he watched as Seth was bouncing too. The next thing wasn't something he had expected. Legend knew?! Of course he knew since both of their fathers were friends so logically he would know. A tear drop down his cheek but he whipe it out as soon. Lucky him he wasn't facing Katie so she probably didn't see it. Well hopefully she didn't. Instead of saying anything he shook his head. Something inside of him would have loved to have answer yes but he couldn't because it wasn't the case.

Turning his attention toward the sound, Mat had no clue who that little dude was. Fortunately for him Legend seem to be aware of he was. "Hey there!"

Placing her hands in her pockets Arya rocked from one foot to the other as the older girl brushed her shoulder. A smile plastered on her face Arya could tell that she wasn't expecting Arya to bounce back so fast."Ohhh a Prefect..." She let this soak in as the girl introduced herself as Sarah."Hey Sarah, my brother's name was Noah Lovegoods. He graduated a few years ago." Shaking Sarah's hand she felt Perseus lean forward on her shoulder to get closer to the girl. Reaching back she pick him up and held him in her arms."This is my kitten Perseus."

Jude Harrison walked casually into the front part of the Hogwarts Express just browsing. He was hoping to find his good mate James Carter in this part of the train. It had been a few days since he had spent some time in Diagon Alley with the boy and the two had hit it off splendidly.

Being a transfer student was hard enough so Jude was lucky to have someone like James to help him transition at Hogwarts and show him the ropes.

James climbed onto the the oh so familiar red steam engine train. He searched through the first few compartments, searching for a particular boy named Jude Harrison. He had already changed into his robes, and wondered if Jude has as well. Then, he nearly walked into a boy in front of him. He stumbled on the hem of his robes and nearly crashed into a compartment door. Gaining his balance, he looked to see that it was Jude he had nearly walked into.
"Oh, hey there, Jude!" he said, a smile stretching across his face. He was particularly glad that the Headmaster had chosen him to help Jude, who was a transfer student from Australia, get to know Hogwarts. He had last seen him at Flourish and Blott's a few days ago, where they purchased their fifth year school books. "How are you?" he asked his dear friend, whom he had taken a fair liking to.

Jude turned when he heard a slight crashing sound. He saw James regaining his footing and fought a laugh for he knew that would be a bit rude. "Hi there James." he replied noting that the other boy was already changed out of his Muggle attire and into the Hogwarts uniform. Jude actually liked dressing like a Muggle and would probably wait until the last possible moment to change.

"I'm doing pretty good, how about you?" he asked with another grin to the fifth year boy.

Feeling rather embarrassed by his sudden klutz moment, James blushed a deep red.
"I'm rather well," he said. Looking around them, he saw a vacant compartment. "Wanna share a compartment then?" he asked, though he was quite sure Jude would agree. He slid open the door and, leaving it open, plopped onto a comfy cushion. He then turned his head to his Aussie mate, waiting for him to come in.

Jude followed James into the compartment and sat down across from him. He sighed looking out the window as the countryside of England sped passed them both.

"Guess I don't have to ask if you're excited to return to Hogwarts do I?" Jude asked with a raised eyebrow.

James tried to not looking at the verdant blurs that sped past the window. He didn't have motion sickness, per se. But he didn't like watching the blurry things. Instead, he looked at the fifth year in front of him.
"Of course I am! And when you get there, you'll never want to leave either," he said, sighing happily. "Hogwarts is so...magical. There's no other way to put it. It's like a second home."

Jude smiled weakly. He never had any intentions on leaving Australia in the first place. But it was time to get past all this depressive stage and focus on what was ahead of him. "Does Ravenclaw have a decent Quidditch team?" he asked the boy wondering if he would have the chance to play his favorite Wizarding sport.

Vashti smiled with relief. Thank goodness she'd have someone to sit with on this train! Perhaps bumping into people wasn't all bad - not that she would ever purposely try to do it again, of course! "Of course, I'd like to," she replied. "Let's-"

It was then that she realized she'd dropped one of her stuffed luggage bags on the floor, and it lay open there on the floor. Some of her things had fallen out of it as well. "Oh, crud. You can go on ahead and find a compartment. I'll just be a few seconds." She then knelt on the ground and began trying to stuff all her things back into the container. It took a little longer than she expected - and she reminded herself that she ought to buy bigger luggage next time - but eventually Vashti managed to close it again.

"Phew, finally!" She exclaimed, standing up again. "Now to find Avery."

It took her another couple minutes to find the other girl, but when she did, Vashti found her in a compartment with some other students. She paused for a moment, hesitant and wondering if Avery's invite was still valid. After a few seconds of thought, she decided she ought to try, since she had no where else to go. She partially opened the compartment door and asked, "Um, is it alright if I sit in here?"

"Of course you can still come in! I wouldn't revoke an invite! Come on in, we are all just starting to get to know each other anyway. You can join right in! I'm Avery Donner...I dont remember if I gave you my last name before! I'm hoping to be in Hufflepuff..what about you?" Avery smiled at the girl and motioned for her to sit down right next to her. "Are you a first year? I am" And once again she realized that she was talking way too much.

Cadence looked up as another girl appeared in the doorway and smiled at her. "Yes! Come sit!" She said as she made room for the newcomer. She smiled as Avery talked and then turned to the new girl. "I'm Cadence, and I'm in Hufflepuff. Third year."

Sebastian Whitcomb was walking down the corridor of the train, a blonde - still nameless girl on his arm. That had to count as socialising, right? Maybe he should take a picture to show it to his parents and his therapist. Maybe then they would believe that Sebastian had not spent an entire year walking around the castle alone.

He had no idea why they thought it was so depressing.

Instead of enraging him, the girl's words actually amused him highly and Sebastian felt his thin lips move to rearrange themselves into a crooked smile. Higher social standing? Than him? Please. "Are you that delusional?" He asked, somewhat amused.

Higher social standing. How funny.

"And I don't need cheering up! I'm happy as I am, thank you very much." He was! He was happy - alone and in a clean environment.

Vashti smiled once again in relief. "Great!" she said, entering and closing the door behind her. She set her things down then sat in an empty place on the seat. "Nice to meet you guys. I'm Vashti Greenwell. I'm a first year. And...I guess I'll just take whatever House they give me. I don't really know very much about any of them, so I don't really have a favorite."

"Well, like I was telling Avery, I don't think it really matters what house you're in. It's really easy to make friends at Hogwarts, and everyone seems to have a lot of fun! I can't wait to go back!" Cadence was practically bouncing in her seat now. She'd been waiting for so long to go back to school.

Chris smiled sheepishly to Avery. "I hope you don't mind... its the older brother instinct," he said with a laugh. "A temper... I shall remain on my guard then," he joked, grinning so that she knew he wasn't serious. "Pleasure to meet you Avery... I'm Christopher Lennord, but call me Chris. I'm going to be a 7th year- despite the fact it will be my first year here," he explained with a smile.

"Indeed," he said with a grin. "I'm from New England... which is vastly different from the other parts of the United States. Its quite nice," he said as she asked about what it was like. "But its more of an experience than anything else... and I don't have much to compare it to!" he added with a laugh.

Chris looked up as another girl entered the compartment. He was beginning to feel outnumbered- but it didn't phase him much. After all, he had chaperoned his sister's friends often enough. "There should still be room," he said with a grin.

"Hogwarts must be a lot of fun. I've never seen anyone as excited as you are to go back to school," Vashti commented, grinning. "So what's it like? And what're the houses like?"

"Well, my grandparents always told me that the most interesting thing about the United States is that every where you go has a character of it's own. Someday, I'm going to go there and visit as many places as I can! And I hope you feel welcome at Hogwarts. I've been gone for two years so it'll be interesting for me to go back. I should be a fourth year, but I'm in third." Cadence found herself smiling a lot as she talked to Chris.

"I think most people get pretty excited to be going back to Hogwarts. It's hard to explain what it's like; it's more of something that you just have to experience for yourself. As for the four houses. Gryffindors are known for their bravery and chivalry and all that stuff. Ravenclaws are usually really studious and good at classes. Hufflepuffs, they're really friendly and nice; hardworkers, too. Slytherins are known for their ambition." Cadence looked around the room as if asking anyone to add if they felt the need.

Tyler quickly passed thourgh all the cars and finally ended up in the front of the train. He onced again escaped his evil niece and her evil deeds. He walked around in the corridor, noticing there were probably less people here. it took him forever to get through the middle and last cars of the forsaken train. Tyler leaned back on the corridor windows, while he caught his breath. Tyler never thought he had ran that much, just to get to the other side of a train. Every compartment was packed, so he just stayed outside; staring out the window.
