Chris Potter walked down the hall towards the middle of the Train, his Prefect badge shining on his chest He almost fell when the tain bumped, he looked around hoping no one had seen that. He was excited to be on his way back to Hogwarts this term, and was so happy to see all the new faces. Perhaps he would get to meet some of them soon.

"EVERYONE LETS PLAY A GAME PLEEAASEEEE!" Lavi shouted with fright to the others and he literally dropped down on his knees. The crazy faces Blake was making wasn't helping because he looked more...deranged...then well, ever! Making Lavi cry! He was a meanie right now!

The baby like he is, Lavi's eyes started to fill up with tears and he looked at the others with a begging look before catching Blakes glare again. Eeeeek! "uh uh..game? i-i don't know any games..uhm..pleaase no book!" he said and shut his eyes tightly.

"I'm not a muggle. But when your cut off from the magical world you almost are," Thalia replied evenly, not exactly caring anymore that he wanted to go on with this whole conversation. "They're interesting people Parker. I mean, their books are ten times better than ours. Their way of activity if fun too," she added with a smile. "I'm not saying I like muggles either. They're stupid compared to us at times. I mean they have so much more work to do," said Thalia shrugging. Some muggles were stupid heads.

Finally. "For once I agree with you and thanks," she grinned, revealing her perfect teeth. Braces sure did something. She would have to have them again when the rest of her baby teeth feel out. Or maybe she could convince mummy and dad to straighten them magically. "Yeah right, of course you aren't nervous. Everyone's nervous. I even feel the least bit nervous," she admitted, pointing to herself. "You're probably nervous because your parents will disown you or something. Crazy pureblood families are like that aren't they?" the little brunette questioned. Hers was fortunately not that way. "Train sick? I've heard of boat sick or plane sick but never train sick. You definitely have nerves going," she pointed out.

Thalia grabbed his hand to stop him from poking her. She looked at him seriously and said, "Do not poke me," releasing his hand. "I am extremely ticklish." Oh no. Now he knew how to get to her. This was not good. People would maybe just randomly start tickling her now. "Not that I exactly care," Thalia added. "Just if you want laughter to erupt then I'd watch it," she warned him. She poked him back three times. "Are you ticklish?"

Rhea spotted the gryffie prefect and his near fall and giggled. She watched as he tried to play it cool as if it never happened.Well she had seen

"I saw that," she said looking through her compartment door.
"It's Chris right?" she asked. She stayed seated for fear that she too would topple over.

Chris grinned as a girl's face appeared at the door of a previously closed compartment. A hint of pink played on his high cheek-bones as she said she had seen his trip. "Oh I did that on purpose, seeing how bad it would be, you know to warn the firsties." he joked, he scratched the back of his head for a second.

"Yep Chris Potter. What's you name? I not believe we met?" he held out his hand to shake her's. He did notice the Hufflepuff badge on her robes.

Shana frowned as Blake began tickling Art, Hmph. She poked him. "Blake. You need to calm down. Maybe take a seat a rest then we can Play some games ?" She said attempting to push him off Art. He needed to get off so she could carry on holding hands with Art. She smiled at Art not responding to any of his comments because he was being attacked by Blake.

Rhea laughed. He was funny.
"I'm sure you did do that on purpose," she said playing along with him.
She took his hand and shook it.

"Rhea Bellaire, 6th year hufflepuff. And no I don't suppose we have met. Though I have seen you around the school a few times. Care to sit?" she asked smiling warmly at him.

Chris shook her hand warmly. Oh so she was a sixth year too? He wondered why he hadn't seen her before. Well he had been pretty busy with school work and Prefecing duties. She was cool for playing along with him.

"Well great to meet you Rhea." She offered him a place in her compartment. He made a quick check on both sides of the corridor for any current trouble that may be going on. When he saw none, he spoke with a grin, "That's nice, I think I will. I have time for a break." he walked into the compartment and sat down.

Lorcan looked at her, remembering what Silas had said to him. "I hope that you can do." he told her, honestly. It'll keep me out of the hospital wing. He kept that bit to himself.

"Pfft! One inch! I'll be tall, my dad was tall, so I'll be tall." He said this matter of factly. He was going to be tall.

Rhea smiled broadly, glad for some company. Art had been gone for a bit now and Gabben was still fast asleep. She reached into her bag and pulled out her Bertie Botts.

"Great. I don't suppose you'll have much trouble on our way to Hogwarts. Everyone seems to be highly competitive this year. I'm quite sure the Huffies want it back where it belongs." She grinned cheekily.

She offered him some bertie botts.

"I have absolutely rotten luck with these sweets. I have yet to try a flavour that taste as if it should be eaten." She popped one into her mouth and made a face.

"Lime flavour.."

Chris moved from the compartment which he had been, strolling down the corridor to find some company. Being a transfer was one of the most awkward things, he had decided, but his sister would have a better time than he. As he walked along, he pulled three small squared beanies from his pocket. Without another thought, he began to juggle them, tossing them up in the air before catching them once more. If he didn't practice, he was sure his friends from home would come after him.

"Well Hello, Isabella - Ravenclaw? My older sister Penelope was in Ravenclaw a few years back , she was a Prefect. I hope I'm in Ravenclaw too, I've heard all about Hogwarts, I can't wait!" said Lily eagerly. She then stood up and looked out of the compartment doors to find that the previously bustling corridors were now calmer at least. She sat back down and said to Isabella, "So what do you do for fun at Hogwarts? "

Alex was wandering the train in search of her.. brothers. That's right, they had abandonded her at the front of the train, and left her with all of her bags. So she had huffed and puffed and hauled her stuff to the back of the train. After a little rest, for she was to tiny to be hauling things around.. She started to look for them. To chew them out, as nicely as possible..

She was looking in different compartment, when something flashed in and out of her vision. She turned a little to see someone.. Throwing things in the air..Huh? She got closer to the older boy and watched slightly fascinated as he seemed to juggle three beanies in the air. "How..How are you doing that?" Alex's gray eyes flashed a little as she watched.

"Defcon Farter? I don't know what the hell that means." He paused for a moment to actually think what that meant and then continued poking Art. Right at that moment, something Lucas used to say all the time occurred to him. "I'm BDOLOTIC because of youuu, yoouuu CARMINATIVE fart sniffing monkey." OMG! Blake had no idea what Lucas meant my those words. Go figure.

"Yes, you'll have to pee in a cup if you can't manipulate Shana to kiss your lips right now. Deal?" She wanted to flirt with Art and hold his hands, now she was free to snog him. Bwahahaha.

"I love you morreeee." He wailed and squished Art's cheeks.

He turned to Lavi and was shocked. That boy was actually...crying!!?? Oh God, this is hilarious. "Stop crying Lavi or I'll have to lick your tears." Jumping off Art, he moved towards Lavi and sat next to him, "You ready? And we can play tea-party after the tear licking ceremony? Sounds good, my little dumpling?" He gave him a flying kiss but then growled.

"Mommy, I donth wanth thoo thake a theeth." Pouting, he started sniffling but then came back to his senses on remembering the deal he'd be signing with Art real soon, "Ms. Shana...Miller, will you pwetty please, kiss Lavi..." Oh snap! Not Lavi...not Lavi. He was Blake's. "I mean, are you ready to kiss my boy Art, ova there." He pointed out Art and chuckled. Shana might kill him for this.

"Um yeah I guess so, no trouble makes my job easier." he nodded. He reached for one of the beans that she had offered him. "Really , I've tended to have good luck with them." he took a bite of one and was thankful it was a peppermint. Ok one for now, don't want to end the good streak he was on.

He then smirked, jokingly. "Oh I'm not sure the Huffies will have it that easy this term. When us Gryffindors won last term, it may help us to get it again. We are all pumped up for a repeat." he grinned. "Of course all luck to Hufflepuff and all the houses." he nodded with a grin.

Chris was just starting to settle into a rhythm and was barely paying attention to what was in front of him when a girl spoke. He looked away from what he was juggling to smile at her, but suddenly he lost the motion. The three balls scattered and danced away from him. He sighed once and made a face before he turned to face the girl.

"Its something from friends of mine taught me back at my old school... Its pretty much a coordination of the hand and eye- which I obviously don't have!" he said with a laugh. "Sorry if any of them hit you..." he said, scanning the floor for where they went.

Blake was being totally crazy. Art didn't like the bigger guy sitting on his lap.It was incredibly awkward even for him and he didn't much like the kiss. That was going a bit far. "Blake, you know that your my favorite psychward escapee, but get off of me. I love you, but not that way." he shoved him off with a laugh. Blake was a bit bigger, but Art was very strong. "What!?Blake you know those words!?.........I am astounded."

His next comment made Art stare."Pee in a cup...........You need proffesional assitance Blake....desperately. If possible, I think your condition has worsened." he shook his head.

"Nuoooooo! Not my cheeks!Ouff off I say crazy monkey child!" he squeaked as Blake squished his cheeks.

"Don't cry Lavi-kun." he giggled. Poor Lavi. "See Poo king ,stink meister? You're making him cry." Art shook his head ,but chuckled.

He poked Blake back,"Hey , Defcon. What do you want to play?" he said laughing. He found Blake completely amusing. Smiling at Shana he winked. "And no more kisses. Don't make me sedate you, stinkems."

Alex winced a little, as it seemed her presence had caused him to lose his concentration. Whoops! I didn't let out any Veela Charm did I?She wondered to herself as she looked around, Thankfully the balls had missed her by a few inches.

"Your old school?" She questioned as her eyes went to the ground, Aha! She had got one! She bent down to get the ball, and looked up at the boy smiling as she held it out to him. "So you are new to Hogwarts?" She looked around and then smiled and shook her head. "No, They missed me!" She said giggling a bit. She turned her head back to look at him, "Well, I saw you had it for a bit, until I distracted you, Sorry." She apologized.

Rhea raised a brow.
"Luck of the Gryffindors I guess," she replied to his statement fo about having luck with the beans.

Rhea shook her head.
"There is no way Gryffindor is going to win the cup again. It looks better in the hands of Huffies and of course we're out to get the house cup too. You have to admit the Great Hall looks a lot better in yellow and black," she said jokingly.

"Yes Best of luck to all the Houses. May the best house win." She adjusted her wand and looked at his shiny badge.

"So what is it like being a prefect?"she asked curiously.

Ok now it was official. Blake . is . insane!
Lavi watched as he sat on Art's lap and started to poke him. He was sooo happy he hadn't thrown a book at him ..yet. But his happiness soon died away when Blake decided to sit next to him and..lick his tears away?!!?!

Lavi's eyes widedened even further which was pretty amusing for a Japanese guy and he held his hands in front of him, trying to push Blake away from him as much as possible. "Blaaake! you scaring me!" he sniffed and whinched visibly when he blew an kiss. He had never seen Blake like this before, it was scary in Lavi's eyes. He looked at the others, wondering what they were thinking and shuffled away from Blake slowly, hoping he wouldn't notice.

Chris nodded, but then realized that she might not be able to see him. "Yes, I'm from Salem School... in New England," he said with a smile. He bent down and picked up the ball that was closest to him and scanned the floor for the third.

"Completely," he said with a grin. "Earlier I even asked if Gryffindor was a teacher..." he trailed off as he laughed at his own ignorance. "I still have a lot to learn apparently!" He nodded, and relaxed slightly. Hitting someone in the face was not a good first impression. "That's good. They're soft, but I still wouldn't want one thrown at me!" he explained. "I'm still learning- my friends taught me before I left and threatened that if I didn't practice they would come after me," he told her with a laugh. "But no worries... I'm Chris by the way," he said, extending a hand.

Alex smiled a little as he spoke. "Salem huh? A cousin of mine went to School in San Fransisco, The Bay School. Are you American?" She asked curiously. Her cousin Piper had been, and she had loved her accent. It was so different from theirs.

Alex laughed a little. "Well, no he is not still a teacher, he is dead. You might see his ghost wandering around, but.." She smiled a bit more widely. "Well, if you need any help, just let me know. I am pretty much aware of everything going on.. except with the popular people!" She giggled. "And all of my brothers and sister are in Slytherin, so I have an in there to.. Should any need arise!"

"Well, I wouldn't want one thrown at me either, but I wouldn't throw them at you!" She smiled as she placed her own tiny hand in his. "Nice to meet you Chris, I am Alexandrina Kensington, Alex for short." She said with a grin.

Lexi smirked and said, "I most certainly can do. You'll see." She was bound and determined to succeed and there was really nothing that would stop her... other than herself.

"Yeah, one inch. Okay." she said with a giggle. *eyeroll*

"You know I was really angry at you for telling Silas about my dad, but it really worked out for the best." she said.

Reese walked down the train dragging Torin, by the hand, right behind her. She looked in every compartment they passed and she hoped they would come across an empty compartment sooner or later, but what were the chances? 1 to a million? The train was crowded! It would be a miracle if they found an empty compartment somewhere. Though, she didn't give up. She would search this whole train before giving up on finding an empty compartment.

She continued all the way down the train and in a few minutes, she found herself in the middle part of the train and...WAS THAT AN EMPTY COMPARTMENT? She rushed over to the compartment and peeked inside the glass window on the door and a large smile formed on her face as she saw that it was, in fact, an empty compartment.

She swung the door open and looked towards Torin. "Found a compartment," she announced before opening the door and she pushed Torin in the compartment, and then she walked inside and closed the door behind her. "So, what was the surprise you were talking about?" She asked.

"Well, she didn't say much," Anna replied shrugging and eying Thalia. "Just that you were a snob."
