"Oh yeah... Apparating," Alex nodded. That was a plan that he'd definitely not thought of. The boy wasn't sure he'd be able to without splinching odd body parts all over the shop. "I could do that too..."

Because he was sooooooo focused all the time.

Hugo was starting to get tired. He actually wanted to be home now, somehow. He was looking forward to wandering on the streets of London. He stared out of the window.

"Are you okay?",Fee asked Hugo worried.
He didnt look too happy now. Maybe something was on his mind?!

"No, I'm alright," Hugo kindly smiled. He looked at the place were Hogwarts was supposed to be, only they had moved too far, so he couldn't see Hogwarts anymorer.

Katie smiled as Hugo caught her eye, Katie's hair was out, she normally had it up but she felt different today, "Hey Hugo" Katie said sitting next to him, she wondered if he felt the same about her, she had a crush on Hugo, he didn't know of course though.

Jacqueline quickly joined the crew as they were already far away from Hogworts.

Quote:

Hey Jaqueline",Fee smiled up at her friend.
They hadnt met for soo long. House seperation and stuff.That was really stupid.
"Sure you can sit with us",she said,"whats going on?"
There were soo many news and Fee wanted to know them all. It could happen soo much in just one year.

''Ahh Fee i feel like years passed since i takled with you! God,you probably have a ton of stuffs to tell me! I was learning all the time,you know,and i rarely went out,but i had some fun with girls in the room! Ok,now tell me EVERYTHING!'' she was so excited to have a chance to talk to her dear friend. Finnaly.

" Jacqueline, where have you been young lady?" Rex asked her. ' I missed you a whole lot" Rex told Jacqueline. " A cute girl like you does not disappear unless you had a secret boyfriend" Rex said to Jacqueline. "So what is your story?" rex asked Jacqueline.

''Ahh REX! Omg I missed you too! He haven't seen in a while! Aww thanks Rex!'' she blushed. Well it was so cute of him. He always knows how to make her smile! ''Well i don't have a boyfriend. For now. Heh! But,hey,there is a next term!'' she smiled. ''What's up with you man? How's life?'' she instantly felt comfortable with them.

Hugo looked at the girl standing in the aisle. "Jacqueline!" Hugo bellowed. "I haven't seen you for so long! Of course you can!" Hugo smiled at Jacqueline. "No, not really," he replied. "I'm goin to miss Hogwarts," he said, looking at the castle that seemed to get smaller.

''HUGO! Heyy man!'' she ran ang hugged him.She really missed him,a lot.
''Yea, i know we haven't seen for soo long! Hey,tell me about everything! Is there any girl you like? I bet there is! ''she was so curious,cause they haven't talked in a while and there is so much going on. ''Oh i know i am going to miss Hogworts so much,and that morning smell from kitchen when i wake up.....god! I already miss it!'' she relaxed . Her best friends were all here. She quickly made a ponytail,sat back and she was ready to hear it all!

Had something happened between Ellie and JD that she didn't know about? There a quietness between them...only subtle, but she'd known them together long enough to know it wasn't right - and wasn't just because she and Jacob were in the compartment with them. She looked between them questioningly, though thought they probably knew they could come talk to her if they wanted to. Although...was Nia really the best person for advice on relationships, given what had happened of late? Meh.

She looked between them all. JD had got it, of course, but she couldn't help but laugh at the others' faces and at how Ellie had leant in. "Definitely Quidditch...what else would it be? Flobberworm racing?!" She shook her head with a roll of her eyes. "Obviously we've not played properly for a year...and..." She faltered momentarily. Though this had been playing on her mind a lot, she hadn't mentioned it to anyone. And whilst she couldn't think of a better group of people to know first, perhaps except Raiden, it made it seem more scary. Because then they'd equally know if she failed in her attempt.

"And...I need to get my eye back in. Big time." She gave a small smile. "I've been doing fitness stuff, but nothing helps awareness on the pitch like actually playing and practicing. And I need to be on top form, if I want to impress the selectors..." She sucked her liquorice again, before she got up the confidence and broke into a broad smile. "I've been offered tryouts for the Bats and the Harpies reserve teams."

Ohhh... Nia caught her. Gahhh. Awkward. Stuff felt awkward now. Ellie MUST recooperate herself. Somehow..

Quidditch? For real? Nia was just inviting them all to her place to play Quidditch? She knew she liked her.

Ellie kept listening intently. Nia was going on much longer than necessary wasn't she? For just a little game of Quidditch... And then It CLICKED. With total help from Nia basically spelling it out for them. "Oh Nia!" she shrieked. As quickly as she could, she stood up and FLEW at her former captain, and took her up in a HUGE embrace.

This was the epitomy of awesome. And Nia should so go with the Harpies. For sure.

'Aiden!' Someone had just called his name. It sounded more like a muffled yell, and the seventeen-year-old turned to see Rhea through the glass of her compartment window. In one swift motion, he slid the door open and welcomed himself into her compartment. "Rheaaa," he grinned widely. He plopped down onto the spot beside her and released a pleasant sigh. "So, it's official, buddy. Hogwarts is a thing of the past for us." heh. Sure, he knew that this would undoubtedly throw Rhea into a tizzy of sadness, nostalgia, and almost-tears, but there was no use neglecting the subject 'cause it was bound to come up!

The trees out beyond the window blurred by and for a moment, Aiden got sorta mesmerized by the motion. After a second or two of this, he blinked and shook his head before turning back to Rhea. Sheesh. He should have gotten more sleep last night.

"But this year's been a mess. I'm no closer to deciding what I want to do in the Wizarding World someday than I was when I started Hogwarts." That had made her really frustrated at the same time. "You have to try and understand where I'm coming from....."

Ignoring his wish, she sat down on the seat across from him and said, "I'll miss you too," in a small voice. She looked down at her hands and tried as best she could to blink back tears. She had told herself this morning she wasn't going to cry. How come she was now?

Whoa, Sadie was apologizing? That caught Fletcher's attention, even if she had totally snubbed him by not sitting next to him on the train. He looked up and shrugged at her last statement.

"So?" The boy was clearly not as bothered by the uncertainty of life after graduation as she was. That was a whole year away! It was nothing to cry over and move to another country about.

He wasn't being... insensitive, or whatever girls called it, he was just telling it like he saw it. "I mean, I understand that no one knows what the future holds, not even those fancy divination people who pretend they can read palms and gaze at crystal balls."

Fletcher cleared his throat and fought the urge to go give Sadie a hug. She really looked like she was going to cry now. Instead he just leaned off his seat a little and folded his hands in front of him, looking up at her sadly. "Owl me sometime?"

Just so he'd know she wasn't really involved in the dark arts or some creepy American cult and was okay in the States. Yeah.

Eino listened attentively to Fee as she shared her plans for the summer. So that's what people did? They met other people, then they spent time with those people during vacation. Sure, it sounded somewhat pleasant to have company but Eino enjoyed solitude once in a while. "That sounds like fun." He replied as he imagined he would do the same, but he remembered that his parents would expect him to spend a great deal of his vacation time studying. But for now, he was just looking forward to visiting his friends in Diagon Alley as Fee agreed to the plan. He nodded with a smile and turned his attention to Hugo, who seemed to have grown weary. But he was excited and hyper just a moment ago! Eino was now sure the train was behind this. He would investigate the emotional effects of train traveling as soon as he returned home.

Rhea grinned at her best friend as he slipped into her compartment and sat next to her. Boy did he have some explaining to do. He had better account for where he was during the last days of school, why he hadn't come to find her so they could haunt their usual spots for the last time among other things. But before she launched into her well thought out tirade the thought of it being the last time Aiden would slide open a compartment of the Hogwarts express and come sit with her. She sighed.

Great. -.-

Just as the thought of leaving crossed her mind Aiden being Aiden just had to open the topic and in that 'its not that bad' tone of his too. She could pinch him but instead she let out a sad sigh and rest her torso on his lap. See she found good use for him. An excellent pillow and back support. "I know its so horrible. I'm not ready to be a grown up Aid."

"Well, I think dancing is manly" Rex told Rene. " Look how many girls I can meet and help " Rex lauged. " Well, I am not fake and I agree with you about fake people" Rex said to Rene. " Let's dance the FoxTrot" Rex smiled. He really is starting to like Rene.


" Ok, I am obnoxious and sneaky" Rex told Fee. " You are not since you say you are not" Rex agreed with Fee. "We really never stop being awesome" Rex said to Fee. " i am really enjoying this train ride home with all my friends and new friends" Rex explained to Fee.

Yes, I want to see a lot of you next term" Rex told Jacqueline. " Why don't you come over to Jason's for the break?" Rex asked her. He likes meeting my freinds" Rex said to Jacqueline. "Well, of course there is next term, but I get to approve of your boyfreind" Rex laughed. " Life has been crasy since Daisy left HogWarts and wants us on a break, then I felt real low, but talking to Fee plus all my other friends, I feel better now besides I will be graduating next term" Rex explained to Jacqueline. " I would have asked yoru advice, but I had not seen you" Rex sighed. "So what is up with you?" Rex asked Jacqueline.

"Well your like one in a million" she said to him as they started to foxtrot, which wasnt her biggest strength. "Meeting girls, Is that what you did with me." she laughed and gae a smile to him as she looked up into his eyes again "Well lets see what do you like in girls other than them being smart?" She asked hopefully it was her, because she liked him.

Nia had barely finished when Ellie launched herself at Nia. The Prefect laughed, despite being smothered in Ellie's massive hug. It probably just had the effect of jiggling the younger girl up and down.

"It's only tryouts," Nia insisted, worrying that Ellie might have got herself a little over-excited. Nia really didn't want to get everyone's hopes up. She just knew she needed people to test her skills before the day. "It doesn't mean I'll get in straight away. Getting into a Pro team is hard. But the experience will be good."

Had Raiden been here, he probably would be telling her off for not being confident in herself right about now. And the fact that she had some awesome teammates that would ensure she wouldn't be rusty and would be on top form. And that she'd work so hard in front of the selectors that they couldn't not pick her. But this was Nia, who only ever had self-assurance when she was in the air.

"So, you'll come hit some bludgers at me to help?"

" Well if you say I am one in a million, I guess you are right" Rex told Rene." Here, monr you feet more like this and point your toes, then you have the Foxtrot down" Rex explained to Rene. "Well, dancing is one of they ways I meet girls" Rex said to Rene. "Well, I like girls who can handle themselves in bad situations but would also let the boy help her, girls who are honest, girls who dance and friendly ae well az curww" Rex smiled. "Do you have these ayytibutes?" Rex asked Rene. Then Rex used his wand and gave her a muggle video of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers dancing in movies. Rex hopes Rene likes this act because he likes her.

"I say it, you should believe it" She gigled she looked down at her feet "Like this' as she moved her feet and pointed her toes ''Am i doing it right?" She must be because well it looked right "Lets see do I have any of those attributes, I can handle myself in bad situations I made thru exams," she giggled again. "Well you helped me improve my foxtrot means im not afraid to let bys help and that i can foxtrot means i can dance. The nice part you tell me." He had put on a muggle video and it was one of many that was on her favorite movie list. "I Love this movie" she said as she stopped dancing still holding his hand.

" I believe it" Rex told Rene. " You have got the FoxTrot down perfectly" Rex said to Rene. "Well, I like your attributes" Rex explained to Rene. " You know you are cute and and and I like you" Rex smiled.

As Alex continued to talk and introduce himself, an imaginary hat having waaay too bitg of a role in this action, Riley's weird-meter continued to rise. The boy seemed nice enough and obviously didn't have any pycho attacker traits, but he still was a bit off. But he seemed happy and Riley wasn't mean enough to make him not so. He smiled politely at the boy's comment about how he liked train travel, biting his lip for a whitty response to the dreaded locomotives.

Then Lexi spoke bringing the fifth year's attention to his immediate left to the girl blushing at his appearance. Blushing was good in his book. "Oh Apparation, eh? Can't wait to do that, Think I will pass my exam on the first try when the time comes?" he said big-headedly running a hand through his hair. He was just joking around but he sure hoped the un-needed touch of his hair brought her attention on his looks again. Stolen glances couldn't hurt either. *eyebrows*

Then Alex spoke again....this time the thought of the hufflepuff apparating made Riley chuckle a little out loud and force him to cover his mouth and make it seem as if he had coughed. Pushing away the evil, yet still pretty funny images of Alex trying to apparate from his mind, Riley nodded and spoke quietly to the boy. "Oh so you have you license?"

Not being able to say whether this Riley dude would pass his Apparition exam first go (how would Alex know even if the question WAS directed at him?), Alex made himself busy planning his way home. He wasn't sure if he had the concentration to Apparate, and he did like to walk on summer nights.

When he had attention back on him again, Alex's thoughtful frown turned into another friendly smile. "Oh yeah... I got it nearly two years ago. I turned seventeen right near the beginning of my 6th year, and this is the end of my seventh year..."

Made sense.

"I don't like to Apparate. It's risky business sometimes and when you're tired, especially. Apparating is kind of useless, since you can't do it overseas and stuff. If that was possible, I'd be a pro at it," Alex nodded impressively. "I prefer to stay healthy. You don't stay this amazingly fit without some work put into it."

He flexed.

Yes.

Flexed.

She was still holding his hand suprised he hadnt let go."Thank you, Only with your help could I have managed that" She blushed alittle " Your making me blush" she said and smiled at him "Well I like you too and I guess your cute too." she giggled even more "So I Like you and you like me whats next?" She said as she turned to him hoping it was what she thought was next.

While the compartment was filled with silence, apart from the noisy sounds coming from the rails beneath their feet, Riley rummaged in his pokets and pulled out the remainder of the Ice Mice he had purchased earlier from the lady at the trolley. He swollowed two one after the other, patiently waiting for the oh-so-good double freeze to occur. It was awesome. Ice Mice were by far Riley's favorite wizarding candy. He was about to do it again when he looked into the bag and sadly there was only one left. *sighhh* Now this brought on a moral delimma to the young Gryffindor's mind. He should probably share this candy with those around him....but Alex was strange...and it was his favorite candy...

"Do you want an Ice mouse?" he asked sulkily, his conscience beating him for once in the ever-so-often moral battles occuring in the head of Riley Sinclair. He then listened intently about the Apparation License. "Yes I really want to pass mine on the first try." he said excitedly. Then the boy did something that was BEYOND random, and in Riley's book absolutely excellent.

o.O

Blinking for a second and continuing to stare at the flexing Hufflepuff Riley's mind worked up a little idea. "Hey Alex, why don't you stop waving that cannon of your's around before you hurt someone. What do you say to an arm wrestling match?" he said grinning devilishly. The Gryffindor could care less if he won or not, it was just a memory that he would not lose for a loooong time.

Aha, excellent. Aiden had managed to get a grin out of Rhea, so obviously she was dealing with the whole leaving Hogwarts business better than he had expected. And no crying, either! When he looked her way again, however, her mood seemed to have dampened significantly. "Neither am I," he informed her. Adulthood. They were going to be adults. She lied down, using his lap as a handy pillow of sorts. "Make yourself comfortable," he said, giving her a poke in the stomach. "Have I ever mentioned how lucky you are that Ella's not the jealous type? You're such a touchy-feely girly girl." Aiden made no attempt to stifle his amusement and he then let his head fall back against the cushion.

His mind jogged back to what Rhea had told him before, about her future plans in the hotel business. "So, when do you start up with the hotel job?"

When Aiden revealed to her that he wasn't ready to be an adult either a small smile played on her lips. Good. She wasn't alone with the whole feeling scared and unprepared bit. She bit her lower lip to steal herself against the sadness that was threatening to over come her. She was trying real hard to avoid the whole crying business. She giggled and swatted at his finger when he poked her stomach. That was rather ticklish. He kneeeeeew she was ticklish! She rolled her eyes good naturedly at him and looked straight up into the compartment ceiling."if she was a touchy jealous girl friend I would smack her and tell her to get over it and STILL use your lap as a pillow. And I'm so not a girly-girl meng."

Rhea shifted her gaze from the ceiling to Aiden's face." I'm leaving Kings Cross with my family and heading straight to the tropics. Grampy and I have a meeting with Emiliano before the opening, which you better be at by the way." she eyed him."what are you going to do anyways?"

K-Lee sat yawning in her empty compartment. As amazing as Hogwarts was, she couldn't wait for holidays to start, not to mention going into 2nd year, so she was no longer an 'ickle firstie'.

She couldn't wait to see her pygmy puff again, and her family. K-Lee got out a book from her suitcase and settled down reading.
