He might have other ways to joke, but he always thought it was funny. "I never even mentioned hating muggles. Just because you hate them, doesn't mean everyone does." He doesn't hate he just thinks they are crazy, crazy people that can't use magic. "Are you trying to kill me?" he asked when she started abusing him with the book. "Ravenclaws don't abuse books." Hopefully there weren't any around to see that abuse. Maybe, someone should be around, like a Prefect to take this crazy girl away. When he finally was able to look at the book, Parker shook his head, "Sounds boring." The guys name was Percy. How interesting could it be? And what the heck is an Olympian? The Sea Monsters did sound cool though.

"Now, I will take that as a compliment." He didn't know why he had a big ego, because he wanted to be a Slytherin? "You're right, I might not be a Slytherin." he stated as he unfolded his arms. "I could be a..Gryffindor!" he sat up straight, puffed out his chest and nodded. He was brave enough for that house. He would just have to deal with the red robes, and then he would deal with his parents, which was more scary than the red robes. Sitting back, Parker smirked, "She read to you? You can't read?" but before she had a chance to hit him again he threw up his hands, "Kidding. I'm kidding again." This was not fun when he had to explain his jokes to her.

Parker was not ticklish. Not that anyone had tickled him before, but he knew he wasn't. No, he thought he wasn't. He shook his head, "Nope." A bloody nose? Was she threatening him? That's what it sounded like to him. She wanted to hit him? He wanted to do the same to her, only he wouldn't hit a girl. He wasn't that mean. "Is that just an excuse to touch me?" Probably.

And she touched him. She touched him again! Parker was going to win this poking war, no matter what it took.

He let her poke him..again, and when she stopped to talk, he moved in.

POKE.
POKE.
POKE.
POKE.
POKE.

Was Parker Yorke..having fun?

"I'm pretty sure Professor Lupa is still teaching Ancient Runes at Hogwarts, but Professor Bontecou, who got turned into a werewolf.. Well, I don't think he's Headmaster anymore. Kazimeriz is. He likes sacking teachers." she stated, matter-oh-factually, taking a bigggggg breath as she finished. She wasn't about to mention all the Hufflepuffs that got killed last term. Melanie was absolutely positive that wouldn't bring back good memories.

Hearing her Cadence's explanation for not knowing, she muttered inaudible something about 'stupid adults' Even if they felt it would be bad for her, in Melanie's opinion, they should have at least sent her to Hogwarts informed. "Yeah...well, ask me if you have any other questions." she said, smiling slightly.

It was easier said then done, in the sunny street of Diagon Alley, but here? Not so much. She just missed Tammy waaay too much. But as bad as she felt, she wanted to be in some company.

She walked down the corridor managing to perk up slightly. So, bad things?

Tammy wasn't here, and the train reminded Tasha all too much of her cousin. Which wasn't good. But the good things? She was going back to Hogwarts and that was something to be happy about. She was even excited. She had a cat this year, and and owl.

Smiling, she slowly slid open a compartment. "Hey, sorry to intrude, but would you mind if I sat in here?" She asked, looking around and hoping they wouldn't mind, that was when she caught sight of her. Melanie. Natasha had liked being around her in her early years of Hogwarts, but it had been a very long time since she'd even seen her.

And in order to do so, she looked down at Copito and started to pet him, as the pleased kitten began to chase her hand and trying to play/bite it. "Thank you, I'd really appreciate it..." She finally said, and grinned. WIDE.

Had Drew mentioned being homeschooled. Maybe...Yes, he did. "Calm down, I commented that because the last time we talked, back at the ice cream parlor," Oh, beautiful yet painful memories, " you mentioned being homeschooled." Annie said, shrugging her shoulders. "After all, I agree, homeschooling is never fun, they teach you what's basic, under-average practice and r not to talk to you abconsideout the dangers, except when talking about Defense Against the Dark Arts..." Right, those lessons were quite terrifying.

Lanie had been her best friend since the first train ride to Hogwarts, but Cadence pushed these feelings away and smiled up at the girl and said, in a welcoming tone, "You're more than welcome to join us! Come on in! I'm Cadence!"

Laughing, he suddenly had a spurt of regret wiggle it's way into his stomach. Chaucer became quiet with an eerie suddeness and straightened his posture. "Upon reflection, I think the skull was the worst bit, yes, and you should probably put on a compress. The matter is over."
But oh how he would bring this up at some other opportune time when the pain of Kellen's head would not match the pain of Chaucer's taunts! It would neutralize all his magnificent wit to continue now.
He was a little disappointed with Kate's complacency in the matter and half wished that she had been more aggravated; the agonizingly long ride could have done with a show.

Hehe but she looked cute! He looked back at her as she talked to him once more. "It's no problem." He said but that grinning of her's made him have a matching one.

He did??????? Oh yeah he did....It's just Drew didn't mention that to much. It was weird to talk about. "Ohhh right I did. I just sort of forgot." Eeep! Was it okay to say that? Would she think he forgot a lot now??? "True it is quite boring. Most of it was quite simple.....Well yeah they don't really go into much detail about the dangers. I think that's kind of stupid I rather know about it than not knowing at all." Drew said shrugging.

She felt like the other years when she'd gone to Hogwarts, happy to be reaching there. She sat down and looked over at Melanie. "Hey." She wondered if Melanie remembered her, oh well.

"Remember that conversation we had at the ice cream shop?" He leaned back against the window, the same coolness that had woken him up now soothing his head, "My father was home for a few days and talked to me about the four houses. From the sound of it, I think I'd like Gryffindor. Or maybe Ravenclaw. Slytherin sounds like it's for two-dimensional social climbers."

Cadence glanced at Lanie. Her story was too difficult to keep explaining to everyone she met. Maybe she could get caught up enough over this year and the summer to go back into the grade she was supposed to be in. "I'm a third year, but I should be a fourth year. It's a long story. And I'm in Hufflepuff with Lanie here." she finished, indicating Melanie. Though, this girl seemed to know Melanie, so she probably already knew Lanie was in Hufflepuff.

Yawning, Allison heard the question, "Well I want to say I don't care, but well I do. My mum and brother were in Hufflepuff, but the rest of the Scotts but one were Ravenclaws. Cousin Bianca was a Slytherin. That lot scares me. I wish I could be a Gryffindor and be different than everyone in my family!" And that was the first time ever, Allison admitted her fear for Slytherins.

Scrubbing at her watery eyes, Allison gave a sleepy laugh, "Merlin, I'm so tired."



With heavy eyes Allison looked at Perseus, "You know I find it quite odd that cats and kneazles are so similar. The old cat back home is a half Kneazle, but we believe she has more cat in her. I wonder if Mr. Perseus here will gain a lot of fur."

Ceasing her fast paced strokes on Perseus's back. She had stayed up all night with Noah and the twins watching movies and learning a few quick spells. But now she wasn't sure she would make it to the feast let alone off the train. "I hope he gets more fur, I love long haired cats." Arya slouched down in her seat, leaning her head on the window as she looked out. The sun was slowly setting, a sign she knew ment they were almost at Hogwarts.

Anastasia started and opened her eyes. Had she fallen asleep? For how long? Looking around the compartment, there were many new people. Geez, maybe she shouldn't have drank that chamomile tea earlier that morning. Locating Tegan on her lap, she spoke. "Sorry guys, I guess I fell asleep! What did I miss? Nothing to terribly important , I hope." Turning to the newcomers, she said "Hello, I'm Anastasia."
