"Nice to meet you Kiki!" Celandine gushed at the rabbit and gave a little cheerful wave.
"Thats sooooo good. I fixed the bracelet so I can wear it and stuff now." Cela told him and poked her tongue out at him. "Its in my jewellery box and ohhh. This is Di. She's so nice. Maybe she'll audition!" Cela was only half-joking and she giggled happily.
"I got some free beans." Celandine offered in a conversational tone. "Experimental ones. Chili and sour cream and then some really hot chili ones. They were pretty good."
Cela eyed the bracelet with mild interest.
"Oh Raiden that was nice of you. Its pretty. You want her to audition toooooo?"
Cela gave Garret a little nudge and crossed her eyes at him before smiling and pointing at her baaaadge. He hadn't even COMMENTED yet. Gosh Metal Mouth!
And where was Willie?
"She's asleep." Informed the redhead flatly as she stared at her pet sleeping soundly in her lap. If her dear pet hadn't just stirred, Di would have been worried for her life.
"Audition?" Di blinked her large, blue-gray eyes at Cela and then at Raiden. "What audition?" Did she have to AUDITION to be their friend?

So instead, he focused on the beans bouncing off Garret's face, absently taking the one Neptune held out for him. Sticking it in his mouth, he chewed on it, barely noticing what flavour it was (if you'd asked him, he wouldn't have even KNOWN) or anything.
And then, Cela spoke, and said two things that just... augh. He was lucky it was only a little bean he had in his mouth and not like, a hamburger or something. He surely would have choked on it.
"W-wear it? You're going to wear it?" It had really only been to keep, not to wear. He'd told her it would be odd! And besides... "I thought you said Cope wouldn't like that? It has my name on it and stuff."
NEPTUNE, AUDITION?!
"No!" he burst out, louder than he realised. And then... almost as if it were an afterthought, and an easy escape from this... whole... thing, Raiden looked at Madiison and gave her a rather strained smile. His face didn't want to smile however, and the expression rather gave off the impression that he was about to be sick. "Very... nice to meet you, Madiison."
He'd said it already, but... well. She was the only girl in this compartment that had yet to exert her will over him by pouting. SAFE PERSON. SAVE US.
It didn't SEEM like it was nice to see her. In fact, it seemed like he was about to barf. Urgh. No. No barfing on her brand new Hogwarts robes. SHOO! SHOOOOO! Eyes wide, almost frantic that this BOY, Raiden, who was now her friend could possibly RUIN her Hogwarts robes meaning he would ruin her FIRST day of school.
"Are you ... okay?" She asked. If she was sitting next to him the redhead would have patted his back, but then again she was glad she wasn't sitting next to him. More chance of him barfing on her.

Madiison STARED at the girl. Neptune. Or whatever her name was. Obviously she didn't read the Hogwarts list properly. "Yes, it says you're allowed one pet each."

"Oh its just my journal i bring along every term. It deals with the scenery of the the countryside as we pass. Muggles call it something else i think i'm trying to remember" Damon noticed she had taken something out as well. "Do you like to write things by chance?" Damon asked.
Jade looked up and smiled. "I do write. I write about things that I see. Things that are beautiful. And also short stories to entertain my younger sister. But mostly I draw," she said motioning to the sketch pad. "I write to remember and to entertain and I draw to create." Jade looked back down and wondered where all of that had come from since she wasn't normally one for being so open.
DISTRACTED by the wiggling fingers in front of his face, Garret had little choice but to take the offered hand and give it an awkward little shake. What was the deal with this girl, anyway? Then after some talk of bracelets, which he was clearly ignoring, Neptune suddenly launched herself on him and he found himself pushed back into the hard seat of the Express compartment.
"Mmph," he mumbled incoherently through the mass of hair that was now covering his face - HER hair, to be specific - and shifted in his seat so that he could at least TRY to be comfortable, "Wot's goin' on?"
The question was directed at Raiden. The expression on his face was one of abject horror, one that clearly said 'WHY IS THIS GIRL ON ME AND GET HER OFF!'

"I like to write to but its not very organized" said Damon "when i write it takes forever for me to think of something to consider writing. Thats a good talent that you have that you can write well i could use some advice myself." Damon smiled at her for a moment.

"Oh hmmm." Celandine thought about this. It wasn't like it wasn't a common sort of thing for people to be all ZOMG over her brothers.
Or herself actually.
Kind of a family thing.
"Your sister is Ellsworth Bott? I saw her at The St. Mungos Charity Ball. It was my debut." Cela tossed her hair and made a thoughtful face. "And your biggest brother is Weddell Bott, right? Sooooo you're like... the littlest one?" Cela made an awwww you're cute face. Same as the one she used on the likes of the toddlers she knew.
"Its a special bracelet." Celandine agreed and then watched curiously as Garret was suddenly covered in new!friend!girl.

Teehee.
"I have a lot of pets."
Most didn't count as pets. Heeeeeheeee.

OOC: Quotes? What quotes? I am rude therefore I reject your previous posts.
Somehow--Daphne ended up in a compartment with Garret, Celandine, Di, a rabbit and....Raiden Kururugi.
And that Neptune person.
Silent, Daphne edged away from Raiden the Butterfly; his from here forth nickname. "What's going on, Garret," corrected Daphne rolling her eyes as she took the seat next to the window (I say so so there). "And looks to me like you have a new....girl friend."
Heh.
hehehehe.
Meanwhile--Daphne was pretending not to hear about this audition talk; still...her eyes sort of did their own bouncing back and forth from Celandine to Di to Raiden.

"11 2/3" Veela Hair core, pliable." Allison had pestered her mother on how the man had gotten a Veela Hair, but her mother laughed and said the man had several tricks up his sleeve. She really didn't care what her wand was made of. The day she had touched it, it was as if Allison had met a long awaited partner. The air had blown and the sweet smell of Eastern Lilies had reached her nose, it was then when her wand had sparked a light blue ray that she knew she had met the one.
"The man who made it said it'd be good for transfiguration..." frowning Allison remembered what had bugged her most about that trip, "He also made fun of me. He was laughing at me when he told my mum how the wand meant wisdom, authority, endurance, and protection...but that the veela hair had 'skwood her ovaaer.' Bah, that either I was very temperamental or I was going to be unpredictable. Go figure! I don't believe it that sort of thing. What you have represents what you are. Heck no! The wand chooses it's master. Well whatever..."
She really didn't have a good comeback for the wand being as it was. But she was NOT temperamental. SHE REALLY WASN'T!
Catching Arya staring at the chocolate Allison laughed, "Muggle chocolates don't do anything Arya. Although my grandma is trying to convince grandpop to let her charm some. At least for the wizarding customers."
Frowning Arya stuck the rest of her candy in her mouth as she listened to Allison's story about how she got her wand. The guy who made her wand sounded like a real piece of work."I wouldn't listen to him, he doesn't even know you. Only you can decide what makes you, you." Arya laughed at her friend as she reached for a chocolate frog." I know, but being here I feel like somthing should happen.Like it should change colors or something."Opening the box she grabed the frog before it could hope away and bite off its legs. Perseus eyed the frog curiously from Arya's lap before going off to play with Tegan.

Neptune was overreacting. But... then again, he was not bothered at all that she was over there with Garret. He... felt the need to explain, for some reason or another, though. Probably because Garret looked so DISPLEASED.
"It was a hospital bracelet, Neptune. Not like..." Nevermind. It was more important than the butterfly one, but if he told her that, she'd be all pouty and probably never emerge from Garret's chest. "I think she likes you, Garret."
He could... have her. Really. Raiden didn't mind her company, but more often than not, she CONFUSED AND WORRIED HIM. And made him twitchy and worried and weird feeling.
And now Madiison was all... worry-faced.
"I'm fine. Just... was feeling a bit claustrophobic." He'd taken motion sickness stuff before they'd gone on, so he was ALL GOOD. And ACK. Auditions. Raiden's face turned a bit pink and his smile faltered a bit. "Nothing. Nothing. It's... a Cela thing."
Because yes. YES IT WAS A CELA THING.
And Daphne was finally here. Raiden shifted slightly in his seat and looked at her as she crossed the compartment.
"I like to write to but its not very organized" said Damon "when i write it takes forever for me to think of something to consider writing. Thats a good talent that you have that you can write well i could use some advice myself." Damon smiled at her for a moment.
Jade looked up to find him smiling at her and she couldn't help but smile back. "Writing isn't about being organized," she laughed, "It's about being inspired. Maybe it takes you long so find something to write because you are looking at all the wrong things. If you are writing about something, it should be something that as soon as you see it, at that moment, its the only thing you see. Try finding something like that and the words will come with ease." Jade finished her little rant with a smile and went back to drawing.
Neptune wasn't REALLY all that upset. But she'd gotten Garret snuggles hadn't she?
She grinned into his neck with quiet GIGGLES before sliding over to sit beside him. RIGHT beside him. Practically still on him.
But now? Her eyes were ALL for RAIDEN. "You were in the HOSPITAL? Oh NO, Raiden! Oh NO! Are you okay?" Yeah other girl... Cela.. could HAVE that bracelet. They weren't fashionable at ALL and probably had germs. She'd rest assured that HER gift was something superior. Something one would give their GIRLFRIEND.
Neptune leaned her head over on Garret's shoulder, secretly picking out a butterfly to name after him. "I should be the youngest, but my parents messed that up," Neptune answered finally. "They made me a middle child and I shall never really forgive for that." True enough.
Neptune was torn between giggling flashy looks at Garret - and worried!girlfriend looks to Raiden. Hmm. Tricky.
Jade looked up to find him smiling at her and she couldn't help but smile back. "Writing isn't about being organized," she laughed, "It's about being inspired. Maybe it takes you long so find something to write because you are looking at all the wrong things. If you are writing about something, it should be something that as soon as you see it, at that moment, its the only thing you see. Try finding something like that and the words will come with ease." Jade finished her little rant with a smile and went back to drawing.
"You are very creative i can see that well with your words" Damon said "thats why i wish i could take writing lessons of some sort." Damon shifted a little as he had been sitting for quite some time and it was getting a little out of place for him to be sitting and not moving around his seat.
Despite the brief relief he got from the fact that Neptune had slipped off him, his arm was still trapped as she was now nuzzling her cheek against his shoulder. He wasn't accustomed to this kind of behaviour from girls, even Cela, who was possibly the most physical person he knew of that gender, "Very funny, Daff," he replied, shooting daggers over at her sitting there all HIGH AND MIGHTY when anybody could see that he needed assistance, "But I fink this one's already claimed."
Pointed look at Raiden = Take your girlfriend back!
"You are very creative i can see that well with your words" Damon said "thats why i wish i could take writing lessons of some sort." Damon shifted a little as he had been sitting for quite some time and it was getting a little out of place for him to be sitting and not moving around his seat.
"Well thank you," Jade said then stopped and furrowed her eyebrows. "Wait. Why couldn't you take writing lessons? I mean they don't have to come from a professor, you could find a student teacher. I don't imagine it would be too hard to find one. I bet Hogwarts is full of talented writers."

Cela was DONE paying attention to boring things like Garret being climbed all over and Raiden looking all stricken and stuff. Raiden said so himself, he was fine, so Cela didn't like, neeeeed to worry about him or whatever.
With a quick smile at Di and one at .... the Bott one...
"What was your name?" She had totally missed it.
Cela asked this as she was shifting over to sit next to Daphne, she squished in with her Gryffindor bestie and held up the letters. Three of them were your regular letter size and the other was a package of some sort.
"Read these with me?"

Hill. Hill. Very big Hill.
Daphne watched it all pass outside the compartment's window. Slowly, she glanced at Raiden over her shoulder. He--looked even taller than last term. Hmph. "Hello Raiden," she answered with the same sort of enthusiasm (if it could be called that) that he had used. "You seem to be having....a--uh--" What was a good word? "Eventful summer."
Eventful Summer = Neptune-Stalker-Bott Time.
Speaking of that Bott, she wasn't speaking to her, so Daphne shrugged and blinked at Garret. What did he want her to do? "Au contraire," chirped the blond, with a pleased smile. Her index finger wiggling in the air. "I think it's you who has been claimed," whispered Daphne leaning towards him before pulling back to let Celandine squish herself next to her.
HEEHEEE. Bestie!Time! Playfully, Daphne bumped her shoulder against her blond friend. "Her name is Neptune," replied Daphne in behalf of the girl. "I think, anyways. Sure, what are these?" asked Miss Hopton, squinting at the letters. "Secret?"
"Well thank you," Jade said then stopped and furrowed her eyebrows. "Wait. Why couldn't you take writing lessons? I mean they don't have to come from a professor, you could find a student teacher. I don't imagine it would be too hard to find one. I bet Hogwarts is full of talented writers."
"Ah thats not really for school i think it would useful for an in between terms setting something to keep me busy when i am not at the school" said Damon "It gives me time to think about things also. What do you do when you arent in the school? asked Damon.
"Ah thats not really for school i think it would useful for an in between terms setting something to keep me busy when i am not at the school" said Damon "It gives me time to think about things also. What do you do when you arent in the school? asked Damon.
Jade tilted her head as she considered his question. Finally she answered, "What i do at school and in other aren't really all that different. I write, I read, I draw, I go for walks, just like I do at school. Other than that I take care of my little sister, take care of the many family pets and cook. I love to cook.... at home at least, that way family is the only people eating it if it turns out horrible." Jade paused then asked, "What do you do outside of school?"
At least he had his entire body back to himself now. Even if poor Garret didn't. Actually... Raiden felt a bit... bad. For letting her just latch onto him so easily.
"Neptune... I think Garret's a bit... claustrophobic. He doesn't like people touching him." Best he could do, man. Best he could do. He wasn't even going to comment on the claiming thing, because... she'd either pout at him denying he claimed her, or he'd have to actually SAY that he claimed her.
Ack. And now she was all... worried over the... maaaaan.
"It's nothing... I've been sick since I was a kid, and they just told me this summer that it's kinda..." he touched his chest and shrugged. "It's okay now, apparently. And I don't have to go back to the hospital every summer."
Twice. Merlin, the worry!face. It had better stay over there with Garret.
Kae wandered about the train searching for a compartment that had anybody she knew inside. So far, her luck wasn't too great. Hopefully, someone would just pluck her out of the hallway and ask her to sit with them, but she didn't get her hopes up. She'd so far made it to the middle of the train with no luck.
"Awwwwww? Really? You're claustrophobic, Garret?" Neptune turned those big pouty eyes on, her worry shifting temporarily to him. "If you needed to get some fresh air, I'd go with you. You could show me around," Neptune giggled and leaned into him. She produced a few scrunchy cutesy faces at him, then abruptly got up.
She had a sick wittle Raiden to pamper and take care of, after all. She too was kind of ignoring the other girls. They weren't as interesting as the BOYS.
"Does it hurt something awful, Raiden?" Neptune asked, squeezing in back beside Raiden. "I hope it's not contagious though. Since YOU kissed ME and all."
Neptune petted his hair affectionately. Poooooor siiiiiiiick baaaaaaaby!
Garret straightened in his seat and raised his now free hand to run his fingers through his hair, which felt all mussed up for some reason. He took a deep breath and shot a triumphant look over at Raiden behind Neptune's back, she's yours now, suckaaa!
Then even though he had just escaped one girl, he rose off his seat and plopped himself RIGHT IN BETWEEN Cela and Daphne. Wiggling his butt to get in the middle, and being quite obnoxious about it, with his arms lying over the back of their seat, he peered at the letters, "So, what're we reading?"

"Letters. One from Cope, one from Nico, one from Adri and this package thingy from Robert. Keir got me stuff too, new books and they're in my trunk, but these I'm supposed to open on the train."
Cela shrugged one shoulder and looked up at Neptune curiously. "Like a planet?"
Oh hmm. Okay. She watched the younger girl curiously for a little while and gave Daphne a saddened look. Obviously this Bott girl didn't have the benefit of a good upbringing like she and Daphne. Like Cela knew that the Botts were a good family. Considering what she knew of the oldest two and all, but it was totally tragic that there was something wrong with this one.
"We should help her." Celandine whispered to Daphne.
Tragic.
Buuuuuut back to her letters and stuff!

You'll tell me if you have extra pillows and special food and things, right? I bet you do. Special Shiny Girl.
I'm about to run out the door myself. My father is taking me by portkey to the dormitory, and once there, we're going to set up the Floo home. I hope he doesn't stay too long... no one else will have their father here. Still, the fact that he wants to come and help me out, the fact that he's been asking me questions and making suggestions about my time here, and the fact that he... I don't know. He's okay with it now. I think you did that.
Zahra was asking about you today. You only met her for a little while, but that little girl adores you. She wanted to draw you a picture, but we didn't have time before I had to send the owl. My father needed it back when he got home for work things. I might just go ahead and buy myself one in Egypt so I can stop borrowing all the time. Anyway... I'll get you that picture when I can, but if you wanted to send notes to Zahra in the letters I KNOW you're sending my father, they'd read them to her.
Have a good year and make new friends. Do well, be brave... stupid things to say. You'll do those without my saying so. I'm proud of you. You don't do things because I'm proud, but I bet you like that I am. And mostly... I love you. I miss you so much in this moment I can't even breathe properly, and I know that's selfish to say. I hope I didn't make you cry at all, and send me a Howler if I did. I'll send you photos and memories first thing I can. I need to buy some phials first. Do you have access to a pensieve?
Be well and be happy, my little love.

Put you on a brochure and the new students will be rolling in with hopes to attend Hogwarts by your side, even if its just for a short while longer.
Thats the part I don't know about so much anymore Celandine, you're so nearly grown. I forget to notice sometimes and then it catches up with me all of a sudden and I see you, the you that you're going to be I mean, not the you that you were.
And as for the you that you are? That part is up to you and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Twerp,
I'm proud of you. You know I am. I don't even know how else I can say it to make you see that I always have been and that will never change despite all the other things that have changed.
Michael loves you too and Kayla is so proud. We all are. But we are also unsurprised. It makes sense that Hogwarts has recognised you for all the wonderful things you are, but I hope you aren't treating that badge as a reward. It is not a reward for hard work, it is a symbol that you are willing to work harder and be the best example that you can be for your peers.
I hope you will learn from your new position of responsibility, I hope you will step up to the task and prove to everyone what I already know.
Raiden twitched slightly as Neptune abandoned Garret to jump at him again. That LOOK. Garret Crocker, you TAKE HER BACK RIGHT NOW. If Raiden could shoot spells from his eyes, sans wand, Garret would be DUCKING right now.
"It's fine, Neptune," he said assuringly. Then he nearly choked on air (he'd been doing this a lot since this girl had entered his life) AGAIN as she all but announced to the world that he'd kissed her. His voice dropped down to a low whisper and he gave Neptune a very, very pointed look. "It's not contagious and I did not. I kissed your nose and you told me to."
He... did not want to explain his problem to Neptune. He hadn't even told Daphne, and he'd known her for five years. He'd just met Neptune at Diagon Alley!
Whyyyy did she constantly feel the need to touch his hair? It was hair. It wasn't like... a cat living on his head.
Emilia smiled, glad that the war was moving out to the hall. She was exhausted and her mind needed time to catch up on everything that had been happening. She yawn and turned sideways so that her knees bent under her chin and her head lay on the back of the seat.
Grinning, Sabel watched the madness trickle out into the hallway. Never a dull moment, he mused to himself as the Legendary Earplug War of Hogwarts Express unfolded between students and trollies. Stretching out with a sigh, he crossed his ankles, glad there was for the time, more space in the compartment. He would have joined, had he not have had two left hands to go along with his two left feet; he swore someone had gone wrong somewhere with that.
Glancing over, he noticed the new girl, Emilia as she had introduced herself, curl up to get some shut eye. Not a bad idea, but she didn't look very comfortable. Shrugging off his jacket he bunched it up in what he could best make as a pillow and offered it to her. "Here. Use this." No sense in letting anyone be uncomfortable he reasoned.

Kellen turned to face the other way as Chaucer swept into their compartment, knowing his cousin wouldn't appreciate being snickered at. An attempt to say that the tears coming from his eyes were in genuine sadness and not mirth would only go horribly wrong. Still, it wouldn't be the same without Chaucer playing too...
Blinking at Chaucer's sudden return, Sabel glanced out into the hallway to see what had gone wrong; something about a trog and a trunk as he believed he had heard. That was when he realized the bag of earplugs that Chaucer had previously tossed his way and his mind made the quick connection.
Grinning, he held the bag up to Chaucer. "You still have your fine article of clothing to avenge do you not? Never leave a shoe behind."
