Sherri's smile died. "Really? That's great, I think," she answered, ending with another light grin. "Unfortunately, I wouldn't know anything about that our relations. I live with my grandparents and they don't tell me much."

Ken nodded and walked in this couldn't be anyworse than the stinky compartment, "Im Kenneth." He pulled his hat around and pulled it down his forehead taking a deep breath he sat close to the door.

OH YEAH! He remembered him now. Kazi had called him out to stand in front of the class while they played that weird pop quiz thing with the balloons...he remembered now. He had used his uncanny skill to blend in with the crowd to act nearly invisible for that whole lesson. After four years of practice, he was gooooood at that.

"Ehh, don't worry about it. Kazi picks on everyone," he grumbled. That dude was SO a vampire. Jack had no doubt in his mind. He was just soooo creepy--what else could he be but a vampire? "I'm sure he's not as scary as he seems though. I mean, you survived that class, right?" he said with a small chuckle.

"Oh, well, that's lucky," Sapphyre sighed. "My governess, Calpurnia, made me learn the whole family tree, right on back to Phineas Nigellus Black I, and then some. Among other things, of course. My parents would think me an embarrassment if I didn't arrive at Hogwarts knowing most of my first year curriculum." She sighed. "They think of me as an embarrassment anyway."

"Why hello Ken and Sapphyre! Ken, I bet you really feel out of place. In a room full of girls.." Rosalie said smiling.
Of course he felt out of place but I'm sure he's enjoying it(:

Sapphyre smiled at Rosalie, but grimaced a bit. "Sapphyre..." she murmured, reminded of her parents and governess. "Call me Phyre." Yeah, she liked that better. It was interesting... And contrasted her name completely. Blue... Fire... Huh. Well, she'd use that from now on, despite her overwhelming fear of fire...

Sherri nodded. "I'm guessing Phineas Nigellus is pretty far back, then?" She was starting to figure her family was much more broad than she imagined. Her grandparents hadn't said much as they were from her mother's side, but all in all were pure bloods. They also mentioned that the Black's were well-known, but Sherri just couldn't stumble upon them in any books.

Rosalie saw Phyre's face grow pale as she said her whole name.
"Ohhh!! I'm so sorry. Please forgive my silliness. I should've asked.." Rosalie said really fast. She looked at her feet. That is what she did when she felt guilty.

Tiberius felt a little relieved that the boy didn't know exactly what had happened. He shrugged. "I have detention with him all term... and I totally deserved it."

He looked down and smirked. If only he'd really remembered why he'd done what he'd done.. maybe it would make more sense. But even without a reason, it was funny when it wasn't terrifying.

Looking back up at Jack, he decided to chance a question that had been in the back of his mind since the boy sat down. "So, um, I have to ask. Why'd you sit here? Older kids don't usually bother with me."

Ken cracked a slight smile and shrugged "I have sisters," He puled up the sleeves of his henley finally showing the rest of the tattoos that ran up his arms. The ones on his neck weren't as much in comparison.

"He was born," she paused, trying to remember her lessons. "in 1847." Phew. That took brain work. "He was one of the Headmasters of Hogwarts... a long time ago. Trust me, I wish I didn't know this stuff. Too much brain space taken up by it, you know?"

"It's fine," Sapphyre said. "I came up with it just now. I've been called Sapphyre for all my life. It reminds me of my parents." She grimaced. "I don't want to be reminded of my parents."

Satine continued petting Niege and placed the Pygmy Puff in her lap. She offered the Puff a jelly bean in case it liked them as much as her chinchilla did.

"Well, then I know what to get you for your birthday this year...an amazing muggle skateboard in Ravenclaw colors with your name on it???" she said it as a question with a smile and she acted like she was writing it down in an imaginary notebook/parchment and then acted like she was tucking it all away in her purse.

She smiled again as he hestantly popped jelly beans into his mouth. Then she had a thought. "Yes they are great and if you like them I could get you some to go with your skateboard..." she patted her purse where she had 'stuffed the parchment from earlier' and then she slightly giggled..."How great would it be to mix in Bertie Bott's jelly beans into these and trick peeps into eating the nasty flavors..." she paused as she imagined this reaction from the poor victim that fell for it.

She was woken up from her mean prank day dream by his revelations about the year..."Well, I'm hoping this year to be number one in points again and to make tons of new friends, as usual...but I feel behind last year...I just had a really off year last year and...for some reason...I can't remember half of it..." she said with a shrug of her shoulders and a slight pause....

She leaned in kind of close to him to indicate she wanted to tell him something like a secret and with a red face whispered as she glanced at the others in the compartment, "And, I'll let you know since you're my big bro....but...I'm....gonna....try...to...well...umm mm...find a boyfriend..." she said the last really fast almost like trying to say it so fast he wouldn't hear it.

The small girl's eyes narrowed on the aussie boy as he uttered that nickname, "How many times do I have to tell you boys, my name is KATIE. K-A-T-I-E, not any of the crazy nicknames you come up with. Especially when you won't tell me what they mean!" She exclaimed, her temper flairing just a little bit. Kaitlynnh huffed, the sudden wave of irritation settling back down, allowing her to relax as much as one could around the Troublesome Trio sitting around her. Where, exactily, was her cousins and Orlando?

She simply shook her head at the kitties remark from Cy, letting Legend answer that. Of course when Dragons would come up any normal person would have said they're huge and scary up close. Keyword being NORMAL. Because a boy like Cy would say they were awesome. And oddly, Katie was use to this fact. "That sounds.. fun," She nodded, not sure if that's really the word she meant to use. Katie added, "Pretty cool at least."

The Little Mae scowled at Legend for trying to exclude her when Cy returned the question, her nose wrinkled up again and then smoothed, dark orbs coming to rest back on the Badger boy. She shrugged, "The usual. Family, skating, friends." Yeah, that was about it. Kinda. Maybe. "You will not, Legend. You gave him to me, and if I lost him how would you take him back?" She challenged, placing a hand on her hip. HMMPH!

Turning swiftly from Matias, Katie glared at Legend, clearly not pleased with his comment on her height compared to two Second years. "Legend Chosen! I am not that short," she was at least an inch taller than both, . . hopefully. "And that's not fair! Boys grow faster than girls do, - I shouldn't have HAD to find you! You were suppose to WAIT for me!" She cried frusteratedly, "But nooo, you had to be mean!"

Someone was touching her hair. Her CURLS! Her eyes grew wide, and her attention was captured once again by Mat as she ducked away. BOYS! "Do. Not. Touch. My. Hair!" Katie whined, her lower lip pouting out, cheeks turning a faint, barely visible pink as she started to feel that she was losing a battle with these three. "No, absolutely not! Wipe that look off your face, Cyrus!" It was one of those smiles that made it obvious trouble was in their near future, "We just got on the train!"

These boys exhausted her. They were suppose to get better with age, mature, grow up - Katie was SURE these three were going backwards through the stages. And they hadn't even begun to mature. "I meant- Oh, nevermind!"

Curse her twin sisters. She needed her sleep, she needed energy to keep up with the boys. This was their fault. Yes, it was. Growling something that didn't quite sound like english under her breath, the small girl closed the door and went back to her window seat opposite the three boys. She scooted back once more, setting Nova on her lap and leaned her head against the window, the cold glass felt cool on her warm face. "Danny and Jae should be here soon, I think. I haven't seen Orlando or William yet, but hopefully they'll meet up on the way."

Wherever Aaron was, Treyen didn't know. But perhaps the Rose boy found his perfect compartment, whatever his deal was good seats he didn't understand. Every seat Treyen had was the best one, so, no problem on getting a good one.

He was tired of searching for Aaron, and he wanted to sit for a while...AND...AND...guess what he found? Or, more accurately, whom he found? He found HIM, the boy he'd been searching for since he took a step into the train. TIBERIUS! LOOK AT HIM! THERE HE WAS!

And the door opened at once, Treyen didn't mind who else was in there. But the door was now entirely opened, and he stepped inside. "Tiberius! I was looking for you!" and he took the only pack of Droobles he'd bought, "Do you want one? Well, I wasn't precisely looking for you, I was thinking of looking for you, because I didn't know how much food I was supposed to buy, but then I found, or she found me, another girl who told me what to get, and then I don't know what happened next, but I found you!" yeah, he'd lost Aaron in his way here, or Aaron left on his own accord. He'll see him eventually, anyway.

"Are you excited to be going back? I know I'm excited, but not to be going back, since I've never been there, you know, but, yeah, I'm going, and that's what matters" and he was now rambling on, and on, and...oh! "I bought me an owl! Do you have one?" he asked, and took one of the Droobles into his mouth, waiting for Tiberius to speak up, or something.

"I see," she concluded. For some reason, Sherri found this fascinating. Phyre may not have seen it as much, but she was interested in whether her family was still living or not. Just then, she began to wonder why she hadn't known about Phineus before. She read Hogwarts: A History and he should have been mentioned.

Sherri snapped back to reality. "So, um, what year are you, Ken?"

Jack blinked. ALL TERM? Wowwww, that seemed harsh, even by Kazi standards. Good thing he didn't bring up the detention Reese had had with him, then--he didn't want to scare the poor kid. "All term? Dannnng...what did you do? If you don't mind me asking. You don't have to tell me if you don't want," he said.

Why did he sit here? Well, it was an open seat, and he was avoiding the prefect's carriage for the time being. "Well, to be honest I don't really care that you're younger. Half of my team last year were first years and I got along great with them, and I'm generally a pretty outgoing person so...I just decided to be friendly," he explained with a grin. "Those older kids who act like they're better than first years really get on my nerves to be honest," he added with a small frown. Why were people MEAN? Was it so hard to be NICEEE?

Avery was ran into by another girl who appeared to be doing the same thing she was doing. So even tho Avery was very shy she put herself out there and said hello. "Hello, my name is Avery.....would you.......would you maybe like to get a compartment with me?" Avery was afraid that the girl would not like to sit with her, and that made her nervous. She was afraid that the one chance she thought she had to make a friend that it would not happen. But she had already given out the invite and she could do revoke it now.

Ken looked up from his arm "Fifth, how about you guys?" He decided to attempt at a conversation, the only one he really every had at the school was with the divinations teacher.

Tiberius giggled when Jack asked him what he'd done. "Doused him with swelling solution and tried to mail him to Australia, apparently." He bit his bottom lip and looked back up and grinned cheekily. "Apparently. I don't remember all the details. Its... fuzzy." He waved his hand around his head. "And then I yelled at him in class. I went to apologize. And that's when he gave me the detention."

He shrugged. "Thanks for sitting here. It's nice to have company."


And speaking of company! Tibi swiveled his head around and looked to the door. "Treyen! Come sit!" He laughed as the boy rambled.

He nodded as the boy spoke. "Mmmhmm. I learned to fly since the last time we talked, so I'm loads excited!" He shook his head at the offer of the droobles. "And yes, I have an owl. Her name is Pidgin."

He looked back across at Jack and suddenly felt really rude. "Oh! Jack, this is Treyen Lockhart. Treyen, this is Jack... er... Jack." He didn't know Jack's last name. Whoops.

Sherri felt the weight again. "I'm a first year, actually." So far, she thought, I feel inferior. I'm not new to magic, but the atmosphere. The more to learn, the merrier.

Kel grinned at Satine's idea of a birthday gift. "Do you know how brilliant that would be?" he asked, then, without missing a beat he added, "Way. I can just picture it now..." And he could. He saw himself riding the skateboard around the courtyard...then Jenn popped up...and he crashed into a wall, tumbled over it, and had to visit the hospital wing.

...Maybe he'd wait until he got home to enjoy the skateboard.

"A skateboard and roller blades?" he laughed shortly. "You must be trying to kill me." he stated simply, shaking his head. Laughing, he nodded in reply to Satine's prank. "That would be cruel, I think," he teased, smiling. "Some person goes, hoping for pumpkin - do they have pumpkin? - and wind up with earwax." he shook his head. "You're not that evil, are you?" He added with a wink.

He nodded as she talked about her year last year, quietly agreeing with her. He had been really out of everything for most of the last school year. Hopefully, he wouldn't be like that again. When she leaned over to tell him what was obviously a secret, though, he started to listen better.

BOYFRIEND!? Kel's eyes about popped right out of their sockets. He coughed and scratched his nose, trying to stall for time so he could think about what he was saying before he said it. And, so that he could actually get his brain to work enough to say something. So this is what it feels like to be a protective older brother. he mused, before looking over at Satine. "I...um...well...do you have anyone in mind?" he managed to choke out. He looked over Satine quickly, and frowned slightly. She was a bit young, wasn't she? ...But maybe that was just Kel's protectiveness speaking.

"Huh I remember first year, are you all first years?"

"Yeah, I think so," Rosalie replied.
She glanced at Ken over again because she felt she knew him way before this..

"Yup," she said. "I'm a first year. So... Ken, what house are you in..? And everyone else... what house do you want to be in?"

Ken stared at Rosalie and raised a brow, was she staring at his tattoos? "Yeah?"

"Im in Slytherin. Hope to see some of you."
