Svannah looked up at her. "If you hate me so much, then why did you sit by me?" she said, trying to hide her notebook.

Evan, without even kissing his parents or waving a farewell although they shouted after him and his mother even cried, got on the train in again a desperate mood. He should be happy, considering he was finally leaving home for 10 months and wouldn't see his evil parents. But with the events in the summer, he was torn between his hatred towards his parents, and facing Marie and Carter couple. He knew that if he saw Anfield Road everytime he got out of his house, he'd go nuts, so he chose Marie/Carter couple, even though he knew it'd hurt him much too. He hoped they'd be easier to move on.

He found an empty compartment, dragging his luggage carelessly. He didn't really care if it tore. He didn't pretty much care anything about Hogwarts these days. He hardly lifted his luggage, but didn't even think about lifting it with magic. He was red-faced in the end, and sat down immediately next to the door. He was careful to avoid window in order not to see his parents. Closing his eyes, he leaned back and sighed. This year would be too long.

Simon smiled. "That's good." he smiled. "I'm really glad that you are okay with you." Simon smiled. "I wouldn't ask anyone to call me my full name." he giggled. "That what I gave you isn't my full name, I might tell you it one day." He laughed as they walked down the corridor, he followed Mel to a compartment where there were other people in there, he decided he'd wait to talk he was a bit nervous.

He smiled at the boy named Theo. He seemed pretty cool despite being awkward with small talk. And people that were awkward with small talk sometimes made him awkward with it too. Hmm.

"Well, I've come here to escape my friends for a bit, so you never know." Not that he would have minded if people joined. He would never say no to any of his friends unless it was Reese. "Yes, I am a Prefect." He looked down at his Badge.

And then looked up again when he heard the voice of a girl. He turned to her. "Of course you can join us. I'm Torin." He made a mental note of her name and then saw a boy with her. He raised his brow slightly. This one seemed a bit shy. Oh well.

Mel smiled at Simon. "Well that would be a mouthful. Wait that isn't your full name! How long is it!" Mel exclaimed shocked.

Melissa smiled when the older boy told her that they could come in. "Nice to meet you Torin," she smiled at him and sat down gesturing Simon to do the same thing. She looked at the two older boys. Torin seemed to look older. "What year are you guys starting this year?" she asked them. "I'm a first year."

Jen stumbles onto the train feeling awkward and knowing no one. she opened up a random compartment and saw a nice looking girl sitting by herself. "Hello, my name is jen." she said shyly. "Mind if i join you? i don't know anyone here."

Victoria sighed as she saw the others talk. She wished to go over and befriend them, but a major part of her kept her from doing so. It was like she was afraid to be shunned away- pushed back because she wasn't their friends and a simple little girl who knew nothing. She put away her book and looked out the window, wishing that Vashti would show up soon. If not her, then another person who was friendly to greet her. Anything to get her talking and make her forget her nervous feeling and fear.

Suddenly, the girl walked in and she looked up in surprise. Then, she nodded with a small, still nervous, smile. "Of course."

The summer was over too quickly for his taste. He liked laying out by the pool getting a tan, though he didn't need it. His perfectly brown skin was dark enough but he just like laying by the pool sipping chocolate milk and watching his little brothers splash around.

The parties they had thrown at the house when their dad finally moved back home was the stuff of legends. Even Paris had spent more time at home than she did her apartment. All in all it was an amazing summer and he was sad to be leaving home and heading back to Hogwarts once again.

He walked down the train corridor looking for an empty compartment. He didn't see anyone he recognized so it was just safer to sit alone. He had a good sugar buzz going and he was a almost spinning as his eyes darted around quickly.

He found one and practically rip the door off the track in his sugary haze trying to get inside. He was going to have to lay off the sugar quills. He sank down into a seat, but he couldn't sit still his hands were shaking and he needed to move. He jumped up and started pacing around the compartment.

Simon looked at Mel." Oh there's a few more things in the name." He giggled, "I'll tell you the full name later." Simon laughed as he looked at Mel. "So what you looking forward to most about Hogwarts."

Simon nodded at Torin and then sat down.

Escape his friends? "Why would you need to escape your friends?" Wasn't the object of having friends to be around them? Keeping to himself mostly Theo didn't have a whole lot of friends but he never really saw a problem with that. And if this guy, Torin (right?), wanted to escape from his friends maybe Theo had the right idea..

Before Theo could finish his thought the two kids that were out in the hall asked to join him and Torin. They looked at each other in agreence before saying yes to the two. "I'm Theo." He added to girl Melissa, he was going to have a fun time remembering all these names. "I'm a fifth year this year."

Ericks walked down the train untill he reached the back.

Finally it was time to go back to school. Marie was actually excited to be going back now. For the longest time she tried convincing her parents to let her be home schooled but they wouldn't even listen to that idea. Now home schooling was the furthest thing from her mind. All she was thinking about now was seeing Carter.

She kissed her parents and her grandparents good-bye then boarded the back of the train. She looked in all the compartments hoping to find Carter but she didn't see him anywhere. She was sure they had said they were going to meet in the back so maybe he just wasn't on board yet. She made her way back through the train and spotted someone with blonde hair sitting by himself in a compartment. Thinking it was Carter she went in and said "Hey, I was beginning to think you weren't here yet" She then noticed that it wasn't Carter, it was... Evan. "Oh, sorry, I thought you were... someone else." She turned to leave feeling pretty sure he wouldn't want to talk to her after the way he had just left when he seen her hug Carter. Where was Carter anyway? She wanted him now.

Jen sighed and in relief and walked ina and sat down in front of the girl. "Thanks." she said sweetly. "I'm really sorry to bug you but what's your name?"

He smiled at the new girl and her friend. "Nice to meet you too." And she was a First Year. Not surprising as she looked to be about that age. And so did her friend. "I'm a Seventh Year." And he didn't really like it. He didn't want to Graduate really. Oh well. It happened.

And Theo seemed to be rather confused. "Well, I wanted some alone time. Usually I'm the life of the party." And that was true. He was even staying away from Brody right now. Not that he had been able to find her anyway.

Ericks Ebony sat down in one of the compartments and strained to hear what nearby students were saying. He took out his wand and started shooting sparks randomly around.

Chase thought for a moment. "I don't know"She said. She grabbed Savannah's notebook, and scanned trhe cover,wow."Nice"She said, her voice oozing with sarcasm.

"What you serious?" Mel asked Simon. How longer can it get. "Good, erm Quidditch the most, it will be cool to see a game. What about you?" she asked him.

"Nice to meet you Theo," Melissa smiled at him. "Fifth year huh? So you've got O.W.L.S?" she asked wanting to know more about Hogwarts.

"Seventh year? So you are going to Graduate soon right?" she asked him but by the look on his face, he didn't want leave Hogwarts. "Come on Torin, cheer up you have all this year to enjoy," well, except for N.E.W.T.S. She actually wanted to get to know Torin better but he would have to leave next year, perphase they could see each other sometime after maybe. "So what houses are you in?" Melissa asked Torin and Theo.

'Cartwright, with one of his pretty dribbles again... goes past United defence once--' Evan opened his eyes at the voice, a little bit angry that he was disturbed, and his anger rose with addition of pain--as if he wasn't already feeling--when he realised it was Marie. He didn't understand at first what she was saying, though it all sank in after her last sentence. He smiled crookedly. "I'm not dumb, Marie." he said, trying to keep the bitterness away, though he didn't know if Marie sensed it. "That 'someone' is Carter." Obviously. She didn't have to hide it. Thank God, he was clever enough to understand the things he saw, and the words he heard. The throbbing pain in his heart was too much, but he still managed to keep it out of his face. Way to go.

"And you can sit here." he went on, but regretted saying it immediately. She apparently didn't want to. Or else, she wouldn't turn so fast. But now that he couldn't take it back, he decided to complete his sentence. "Unless Carter doesn't want you to." And that was rude, there was a small hint that he clearly thought Carter was mean. He hoped Marie wouldn't notice it. "Or you have... someone else to sit with." With all he got to say, he closed his eyes again and acted as if he didn't care what she was doing.

"Yeah I'm serious." Simon giggled. "I am looking forward to Quidditch and Muggle Studies, I've heard Quidditch is very good." Simon looked around and nodded at everyone, he was only happy talking to Mel at the moment, he was to scared at the moment to talk to the others.

She smiled and held her hand out in a polite manner. "My name is Victoria Rogers. What is your name?" She examined the girl and noticed how shy she was acting.She must be a first year like me...She thought.

Mel laughed at him, wondering what his full name was. Today wasn't that bad, she had met some cool people but she kinda missed Kai, she hadn't seen him since Thursday. "Muggle Studies? I won't need that, I'm muggle-born. Yeah me too but it would be good to see it. Well," she said getting up. "I'm going to get something from the trolley." She spoke opening the door and walking out.

OOC - Last post of the night, I needs to go to sleep. Will continue this when I wake up.

Jen smiled and took Victoria's hand. "I'm Jen Burns-Potter." she said, sounding a bit more confident. "Are you a first year?"

Kevin was wandering along the back of the train when he saw an older girl sitting on her own and peeked into her compartment and said "Mind if i join you" Kevin hoped that the girl didn't mind but he had to ask just to be sure

Marie turned back around when Evan talked to her.

What?!

"I never said you were stupid, and yes... I was looking for Carter." There was no point in hiding it now, Evan already knew there was something going on with her and Carter. Really... he said she could sit with him... how awkward would that be. "You seriously want me to sit in here... with you?" She thought about it for a minute, did she want to sit there and risk arguing with him? "No, Carter won't care if I sit here." she said maybe a little too sarcastically. "The question is, will you care if he sits here with me?" Because if he did care then she wouldn't be sitting here for long, she would find another compartment to sit in. Which she would probably do anyway once Carter boarded the train. It would just be too wierd sitting in the same compartment with Carter and Evan.

"I'm Muggle Born to, but I still love to see what the Wizard have made of us." He giggled, as he looked around the compartment, it seemed like the others weren't talking, he wondered what Torin thought of the school but he still was scared. "Okay see you when you come back." He smiled as she left.
