Selena was very excited to be in the Hogwarts express with Adam. She placed her sweater in the seat and sat down, while Adam placed their trunks on the floor.

Adam smiled "I'll be right back, Sel" he said as he left for a couple of minutes. He then returned holding a small orange and white tabby kitten, with a black collar. That had S+A <3 engraved on the back of the name tag. "Here Sel, a kitten since you didn't bring Fargo with you." Adam said ad he gave Selena a sweet kiss.

For a moment, Evelyn had to stand up and stretch. Being cramped in that little spot...well she wasn't used to that yet.

So, standing up, she stretched rather quickly, and just about to sit down again, she noticed someone walk by the compartment. Eep! Smiling widely, and tripping over everyone's feet and luggage, she made her way to the door and looked out of it, her eyes trained on that particular dark hair. "Josh!!"

"Yes, taller. As in growing in height," Ty said and played with his bangs, which were longer now since he still hadn't gotten his haircut. Oh well. He'd have to get it some other time. "You're welcome," Ty sat up and smiled. He kept playing with his hair, as if looking for the answer to something. "I still need my haircut,"

Selena giggled "it's Figaro! And thanks Adam I love him. I'll name him....Chester. Since it's the last letters of your last name." she said as she caressed Chester and kissed Adam. "let's take nap, I'm exhausted" Selena said as she leaned over and rested her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes.

Adam smiled "alright sweet dreams, beautiful" he said ad he wrapped his arm around Selena, and made her head rest on his chest so she could be more comfortable. He then placed a small pillow on his head and closed his eyes, to rest.

Marie was walking through the middle of the train looking for Carter. She was still fuming mad at Evan and all she wanted now was to be with Carter... someone who actually wanted to spend time with her. Checking all the compartments she did not find him anywhere.She did find Destiny and Evelyn but there were too many people with them. She was not in the mood to be around a bunch of noisy first year looking students. Instead she found an empty compartment and went in to sit by herself. Maybe if she sat there long enough Carter would find her.

Carter had said bye to his parents and sister before boarding the train. In one hand he was holding Apollo's cage. He didn't have to go very far before spotting the very girl he was looking so forward to seeing.

"Marie!" he said happily throwing open the door to her compartment.

Maybe that compartment hmm. Josh peeked into a little compartment yet decided dissappear fromm there quickly since it seemed to belong to two lovers. Okay, maybe they were not in the middle. Oooofff it was going to take him forever to find Rose and of course her twin Destiny (there was no doubt that they were sitting together). Why did not they just carry around mobile phones? They were like magic and one could find where the other rather easily. Whatever.

The boy decided to search them in the front of the train so he turned around and took a few steps in the corridor till he tought he saw someone familiar in one of the compartments. Had not he checked this one? Apparently not since Rose was sitting in there.

Smiling widely the Gryffindor opened the compartment door and rushed inside leaving his trunt and cage in the middle of the corridor. ''ROSE! You are here!''

Hehe! Giggling, and not caring who was in the compartment, once Josh opened the door, she practically tackled him with a hug. Personal space could just, not exist at the moment! However, it was still nagging her in the back of her mind that someone was in fact in her bubble, but for now she would just...ignore it!

Personal space bubble...you have been ignored!

"You're here." she muttered, repeating what he said, but if was focused towards him and not her. It was, really good to see him. Glancing to the side for a moment, still having a death grip on Josh, she thought she saw Marie, or her hair at least, entering a compartment but wasn't quite sure if that was her. Hmm, must be just her eyesight or something that was testing her.

"I missed you." Breaking the hug finally, she smiled as she took a step back, before frowning that is. "Are you alright?! I heard you had hurt your...arm?...over the summer?" Was it his arm? Or was it his leg...

Crud times two!

Destiny had let it slip that Sly had been eating grass, hadn't she? "Umm..nooo" she said slowly. "I meant when he ate grass before." Sly was a great example showing that habits never die. He was doing so well, too, at the end of last term. He didn't even go into the student garden as much as he had before, and Destiny had a feeling he would be going to more places than just that this term.

"Think of one later? But that means she will be evil until you give her a name. I don't think my wittle Sly could handle not being liked for that long!" He was the center of attention all the time, more so in Tibet during the summer. It was like the Tibetan's never seen a cat before. She supposed they never did, being surrounded by all them Yeti.

Merlin. It was way too crowded in this compartment. Destiny was started to feel claustrophobic. Now she felt like she was in a box! And why had she though Kylie was in one? "She said so herself!" she said pointing to Kylie, "Plus she was there in school one moment, then Poof! She was gone!" Perfectly good reason to think the Hufflepuff was in a box for the whole year.

Watching as Evelyn stood up and stretched, she laughed a bit when she ran to the compartment door, tripping on a few luggage. Mostly Destiny's own, since she had left it right by the door. She cringed at the name Evelyn exclaimed, and wondered if he was going to squeeze into this compartment too. They were all going to be squashed in here!

Next term, Destiny was getting a compartment all to herself. Just her and Sly.

And she was sooooo going to ask Evelyn about that little hug she gave the Gryffindor. *shiver*

When Rose hugged him so...tightly, at first Josh tought something was wrong with her since she was never too friendly like that or at least she did not use to hug him like that. He wanted to look at her face if she was crying or frowning or else yet her grip was tight and he did not want to break it as the boy hugged her back.

Then when she said 'I missed you' the thought that there could be something wrong with her dissappeared in his mind being replaced by delightfulness. ''I missed you too'' he replied and when she stepped backwards he quickly checked her face nevertheless. No, there was nothing wrong with her since she was smiling like that.

And another werid thing. How did she know that he was hurt? ''My leg, actually'' he said and indicated the right one ''This one. But i have been in Mungo's so its okay now'' and he was sure that no one could guess what troubles he caused there. ''And how have you been? I see you are...'' fine, happy, beautiful, cheerful...she was all and more so the boy failed to choose a word there.

Another likely story! Surely Destiny knew better than to lie to her.

"Uh huh." she mumbled, putting her hands on her hips and glancing behind to where Destiny was. "If there is any grass in our dormitory this year, you get to clean it." Not the house elves.

Looking back to Josh, Evelyn smiled again, hearing Destiny speak of her cat being evil again. "She isn't evil because she doesn't have a name! She just doesn't like grass eaters is all. Either that or what the other thing I suggested." She had all the permission she wanted to not like Sly. Evelyn wasn't going to tell her own kitty who and who not to like. Unless, it was just unacceptable who she was hanging out with.

And that was another thing she would have to ask Kylie about later on. Living in a box? She definitely missed a good piece of conversation apparently while she was talking to the other two first years.

He missed her? Her smile would now be permanently stuck on her face. Until, well until something that was said. So he really was hurt. And that guy wasn't bluffing! Which meant...did he receive her gift that she gave to the man to give to Josh?

Looking down at the leg he pointed to, it didn't seem like there was anything wrong with it, but then again, he was wearing pants so she had no clue. However, he said he was okay, and went to Mungo's? He definitely was a Gryffindor if he willingly went there.

"I've never been better." she said truthly, holding back another giggle, and leaning back against the compartment door, slowly closing it. He saw she was what though? Was...there something on her face? A stain on her jacket? Did her brother do something to her clothes? Looking down at her shoes quickly to make sure there was nothing on them, she looked questionably back up to Josh before shrugging it off. "Did you get my gift? From that ex auror guy..."

She had never been better. So did Josh since he saw her happy and lively like that. ''Great.'' he replied. Then, her summer vacation with her uncle had made her so happy or changed her that much. And the boy just loved the change in his friend. Actually he already loved her so now he loved her more then he did (lol).

Then the question of how she knew he had been hurt was answered quickly when she mentioned an ex auror guy. He could be no one but Ryan, of course, since the troublesome man liked to talk to people who were younger than him. When Josh had found the quill it was on his desk with a note on it which said 'From Rose'. Hmm well why did the he not like Ryan again? ''Yes, i have got it here'' he patted on his right pocket ''I just loved it thanks. It is beautiful.'' and precious since she gave it to him hence why he carried it around. ''Maybe this term i'll be tempted to take notes at classes''

And when he heard the voice of the other Slytherin twin and Evelyn talking to her. The Gryffindor turned to face her with a huge grin ''Hello and welcome to you too Destiney!'' he said playfully

It seemed like only yesterday that Raven was hanging out in Diagon Alley; talking to old friends, making new ones and unfortunately making a new enemy in the process but that didn't deter her the slightest from making this term the best ever in the history of her magical education, she had plans which would make her nickname resonate throughout the corridors of Hogwarts even long after she had graduated. She boarded the train and headed right towards the middle cars with a green and silver metallic carrier in one hand, her guitar case hanging off her back and her bag in the other hand; looking around for an empty compartment where she could continue sketching out a special plan that she had spent all summer hatching.

After about 3 minutes of wandering around and making her way through younger students who evidentially didn't understand the hierarchy of the school and chose to stand in her way while she was trying to walk; she finally found an empty compartment then walked in through the open door, setting her things down on the seat for the time being. Once she was all settled, she shut the door behind her then sat down and picked up the carrier; opening the hatch slowly, taking Bludger out and setting him down in her lap.

Patroclus bobbed his head as he walked into the Compartment, he had his iPod in and was really getting into the beat of his song. Forgetting where he was, he started to dance, running on the stop and fist pumping. Getting too into his bust out, he kicked his trunk and causing it to pop up and spill its contents on the floor. "Great!" he yelled, due to still having his headphones in.

Eeeek!

Destiny did not like when Evelyn put her hands on her hips. That always meant the person was serious when they did it, especially when Destiny's own mother did it to her. She did snicker at what Evelyn said about cleaning up any grass that happens to be in the dorm. "I have a wand, so it will be no problem." Well, she had two wands. Who did the other belong too, she had not a clue, and she sure wasn't going to find out either.

"How does she know he used to eat grass? Did you tell her?" Wait! Would the cat even know what Evelyn was talking about if she did mention that little bit of information?

Must be a kneazle.

Crud.

She was spotted!

And why was he welcoming her? Destiny was here way before he was, so she should be welcoming him, right? "Hey Josh." she said giving him a small wave. She was not deaf and did hear the conversation going on between Josh and Evelyn. Humph. Something was STILL going on between them and she was yet to find out. But one day..one day she would. "How was your summer? Besides the part where you hurt your leg.."

Unless it happened in the beginning of the summer..then it couldn't have been all that good.

He had it with him right now? And he loved it. If her smile could get any bigger, it would've with just those words. Oh, how she was becoming such a...such a huffie. Those people were always kind hearted and such right?

"If that's the case, then it seems like we have to work extra hard for that house cup." she joked, referring to all the Slytherins. Josh was the master of pretty much everything apparently, however she didn't quite know what his note taking skills were like as of yet. She should pay attention more to that this year, no matter how silly that sounded.

Frowning, Evelyn looked back over to Destiny at the mention of her wand. Hmph. Evelyn really wasn't one to be outsmarted. "That could be changed..." she muttered, staring at her friend with her usual unblinking gaze for a moment before sitting back down on the seat. Making sure there was room for Josh too if he decided her would like a seat.

"I may have mentioned it once or twice." she said quietly, suddenly finding the hem of her jacket quite interesting. Or, she could have possibly told her outright to not be fooled by his cuteness. She would have found out sooner or later anyways!

"Besides, give it up Destiny. He ate grass before...and he still eats it now." If he could turn green because of it, then he would practically be the Slytherin's mascot! Not literally, but still. Destiny totally slipped up!

Christopher James Aesalon stepped foot onto the train, giving his parents and older brother the parting wave they were expecting. He loved them, he really did, right? But the idea of the following 10 months free of parental supervision. Free of the Aesalon family crest staring tauntingly at him from almost every single object that his family owned…well it made the wave of homesickness seem small in comparison.

In a small moment of insane rebellion, he’d even ditched the ostentatious stationary parchment in a convenient trash bin when his parents weren’t looking. Sure his trunk, robes, broomstick, heck even his wand, carried that crest but nevertheless crumbling up the paper and sending it packing left him with a feeling of satisfaction. Of course he’d have to deal with the problem of having no parchment later…but whatever. For now there were other matters to attend to. Like where to leave said equally ostentatious, pretentious looking trunk where no one could see it.

Looking around for an empty compartment, he dragged his trunk behind him in search of somewhere to sit, the weight of his falcon Athena reassuringly on his shoulder.

Tilting his head back slightly and letting his newly cut hair fall over his eyes, a serious face, expressive sharp dark eyes, and a set square jaw is what met the gaze of anyone who happened to be looking.

Oh for the love of all that was magic. Was there not even one empty compartment. Now he was going to have to meet up with some random people, make small talk about random events, and look out the window in boredom at random scenery…and generally have a very random encounter with people he didn’t know. Was this really that way his this term was going to begin?

After leaving her trunk in a random empty compartment, Grayson had taken to wandering around the train, still in her jeans, tshirt and ubiquitous Converse. Eventually she'd have to change into school robes or whatever, but she didn't feel like it right now. Things were just too interesting on the train to hole herself up in a compartment.

Deciding to maybe go see what sort of snacks she could buy, since she still had some coins on her that her uncle had given her before she'd gotten on the train, she crossed into the middle section of the train, idly reaching up to scratch the head of the white ferret curled around the back of her neck, half hidden by her blonde hair. If only people would stop standing right in front of her. She was on a mission for sugar and it was killing her buzz to have to dodge around everyone. And why did it seem half the people in the corridor were way taller than her?

"yes..yes...Goodbye Mother" Dianna finally managed to enter the Hogwarts Express after being lectured for about and hour by her mum. She made her way to the middle carts and found Emma sitting in a compartment.
"Hey. Sorry for taking so long." she said while fixing her stuff in the compartment. Finally able to sit down. "What a tiring day!" taking a deep breath. "I can't believe were finally going!"

Kevin wandered to the middle of the train again and took a seat in one of the compartments he wanted to get away from the busy front of the train but he knew that bubbles and ralf were safe he just wanted to make as many friends as possible or catch up with old friends

Maddie was walking down the corridor between the compartments on either side and saw Kevin in a compartment by himself, so she wwent in.
'Hey Kevin, is it OK if I join you?' she asked, trying to move hwer trunk out of the way. Stupid Louis Vuitton trunk. She kicked it angrily

Ginny was wondering the corridor again. She was in and out of compartments. "Kevin", said Ginny tapping on his comparment he was in.

Kevin looked up at Maddie and said "Sure you can join me Maddie" Kevin smiled and said "Hey Ginny your more than welcome to join us" Kevin was sure that Maddie could do with another friend
