"Yeah sure..." she said leaning back in her seat, eating her sugar quill. "Where abouts is your apartment and I'll be there!" Her sister would give her a lift. "My parents probably won't come. Work stuff..." she muttered "But my sister will be there! She's cool to." She thought so anyway.

"Well, she's helped me through some tuff times. I don't know what I'd do without her..." Fall apart probably. "Oh you didn't know?" She took out her wand and pretended to cast a spell "Yeah, adult wizards can. We're still at school, so we're underage wizards, so we carn't do magic outside of school." It was a shame really. She put her wand away in her trunk this time. She woudn't be using it 'till after the holidays. "Good job I told you, or you might have got in trouble from the ministry!" And Nika and her parents probably didn't want that.

Spike picked up a t-rex in his left, and pursed his lips thoughfully as he pondered which other dinosaurs to go with. A triceratops, maybe? Or something a little faster that he could make awesome RAWRing noise for? He fingered the velociraptor, turning it over in his hands.

Before he'd decided, Jacob spoke. "Ellie got them for me," he answered, looking up from his dinosaurs. "When she went to the museum with Care of Magical Creatures. She took tons of awesome pictures too." He nodded happily. He'd been totally disappointed he'd had to miss out on the trip. But Ellie's present and photos had been very exciting. She'd chosen perfectly, and he was hoping to persuade his parents to take him over the holidays. Maybe they actually would, if he convinced them it was for 'educational' purposes.

He looked at the dinosaurs in his hands, and back to his Captain. "Did you want to join in?" he asked curiously. It'd be far more fun with two...

hannah went up the steps of the train and walk down the halls.She look for some in a cabin.She took out her iphone and called her mother.Knowing she just left the plateform with her adpoted mother.

Belle was wandering around the train to stretch her legs and Belle saw someone sitting alone, "Hey I'm belle, nice iphone you got there." even though she was half pureblood, she still knew what an iphone was.

Hi I'm Hannah she said with a smile.Nice to meet you belle.Thanks i was calling my birth mother.long story about that though.I'm a pureblood i live in Italy and Dallington,England.

"It really would have been horrible!" Nika agreed with him 100%. She was a bit surprised by the random question and her face turned to a light pink. "Well.... there is one boy. But I don't really see him too often." She avoided names until Rex would ask.

"Your a seventh year?" Wow. She was crying during the feast because her seventh year friends were leaving her, but she didn't ever think about it from their point of view. Rex sounded like he was excited to leave, but Emily seemed to want to stay longer. "Congratulations on graduating!" she added lamely.

Nika noticed a girl alone all curled up. What? She had seen this girl talking to one of her friends before. Hmmm Samira probably. Nika wasted no time and raced over to the girl. "Hi there! I'm Nika are you alright? Do you need anything?"

"It really is! I can eat it all day!" Nika smiled. For a small girl she sure loved food. "Oh okay good! Because I don't know how to make these cool necklaces that you make and I wanted to make sure that my family's shoes would be safe!" Nika giggled softly. "I bet nargles aren't stealing shoes to be mean though. Maybe they are just misunderstood."

Nika looked at Emily and shook her head slowly. Emily knew so much! Nika was pretty embarrassed about it all. "No I didn't. I should really read some of these wizard books! I have only read a few muggle ones. I like books, but I just don't really like reading them." Hehe did that make any sense? No. But that's Nika. She likes books, but she hates finding time to read any. Only when the book is really interesting, then she will read it without breaks. "Yeah! Thank you for telling me! I wouldn't want to be arrested?" Nika raised an eyebrow. Do wizards have prisons too?

"Hannah, Hannah!" Nika used her singsongey voice and added a little tune to as she said the name. "I haven't seen you since I er accidentally sat at the wrong table." Her cheeks had a slight pink hue after recalling that rather embarrassing morning.
"Annabelle!" She jumped up and waved. "Long time no see!"

Its fine i would be that way if i had a late night she said with a laugh.I just transfer last year so i'm A second year this year.how have you been Nika.

As Elektra slept PEACEFULLY she was suddenly awoken by a loud voice. A voice that sounded so familiar to her that her eyes shot right open and she yells throwing her arms up. "BLOODY HELL!!!!!"

"Thanks Rex, thats so sweet of you to say".
Emily paused to look out the window, then turned back.
"I don't know...", she replied, "I just hope I'll be good enough."
Good enough by what standards, Emily didn't know. All she knew was that her mother, aunt and uncle would have a different definition of 'good enough' than the Ministry of Magic. She just hoped she could please everyone- and still keep herself happy.
Emily stopped twirling her hair arouns her fingers, she only ever did it our of habit.
"Mmm... boys weren't high on my priority list." She said... though she couldn't help but think about the few weeks since the Quidditch Cup match. If only she wasn't graduating now. Then maybe things could have worked out.

Emily just nodded, biting down on her tongue so that she wouldn't start crying again. Once she felt she had enough of a hold on her tears she smiled at Nika.
"Yep just finished my seventh year. Its amazing how fast time flies."
It really had flown right by.
"Thanks", she relpied as yet another person congratulated her.
"Hogwarts has been my home for so long now... I just don't want to leave..."

"Oh, hey Nika!" Septimus greeted his peer. "So, are you excited about becoming a SECOND YEAR??" He emphasized SECOND YEAR because he got excited about this stuff. SECOND YEAR.

Septimus began to slowly chew his lip as she mentioned going back to Italy. He hated lying, but it was the only way he could avoid being found out. "Yeah...I'm...looking forward to it...I guess..." He couldn't quite mask the guilt in his voice. He wanted more than anything to tell her about his dilemma, just to get it out of his system. But he decided he wouldn't buckle unless she asked about it.

"You don't have a family?" he asked her.

Septimus was delighted when she began talking about Crumple-Horned Snorcacks. "Yeah, I used to see them all the time when I was little. Italy's full of the things." Actually not a lie. "I'll definitely write you. I might send a picture if I get lucky." There were Snorcacks all around him in the orphanage. As long as he didn't catch it where his true location would be obvious, he'd certainly try and send her something.

"I've been spectacular! Well until the end of the term feast, that was a little down hill bump, but I'm all good now! Actually better than good! Awesome!" Nika stopped herself before she went too far. "Really!?! I'm going to be a second year next term and AHHH I'm so excited!!" Nika nodded her head up and down for emphasis.

"I know! It feels like it were only yesterday when I was riding this train for the first time." Nika thought back and agreed with Emily. One term already gone, is it possible? "So do you know what you are planning to do now that your time in school is over?" Rex was going to be a famous dancer one day and she was interested in seeing what Emily was planning.

"Hey HEY!" Nika bounced up and down excitedly. Wow. His mood had changed since Nika last saw him. He was such a reserved guy, but now he was starting to look like Nika. "I know SECOND YEAR! WOOT!! Er Septimus are you feeling alright?" The name! Hehe. She reached her arm over and held it on his forehead. "Your temperatures normal... I think. You just seem so much... so much.... MORE HYPER!" Nika bounced up and down some more. "I think I have had an effect on you!" Nika stopped talking just incase he still was on the verge of not liking her. She remembered last time. He didn't really answer her question so Nika assumed that he didn't really like her very much.

"I do have plenty of time to think, you are right" Rex agreed with Elyon.
" Rex's Magical Footwork, great idea, great name" Rex told Elyon." I am calling my dance studio " Rex's Magical FootWork" he smiled at Elyon. " OK, you are not grown up, but you act mature fior your age" Rex explained to Elyon." Let's
keep Waltzing" Rex said to Elyon.

"Well, everything is great, we saw eaxh other before I left HogWarts for good" Rex told Nika, " What is this boy's name?" Rex asked Nika. " You know if you so not see him around much, that could be a bad thing" Rex explained to Nika. " Or could be a good thing" Rex said to Nika.

" You are very welcome" Rex told Emily." I know you will be the Best Auror you can be and you know it, too" Rex said to Emily. "Well girl were on my list to be friends but I met Rene and you know the reat" Rex explained to Emily."Well, all the boys must have been blind not to notice a pretty face like yours" Rex smiled at Emily..

I thought your a second year now she said with a laugh.Girl your funny,want to hang out at the feast.My brother just trasnfer he be her on the train soon.

Selina plopped herself down next to Elektra and smiled, "Morning sunshine. Don't you look just dapper? Get a good night's rest?"

"Well... it's Jacob." Nika admitted. "But I agree that it may not be a good thing. So I don't know anymore." She looked into Rex's eyes and searched for advice.

"Huh? Well I will be a second year once the train gets to the station." Nika was confused. She is sure that she isn't just mixing things up like she did with the tables. "Wait, but Hannah the end of the term feast is over... that's why we are on the train. Are you alright?"

"Well, they're quite easy to make, really! I make mine super fancy, but that's just because I love art and have too much freetime! All you really need to do is attach a cork (preferably butterbeer) to a necklace, and VIOLA! You are nargle free!"

When Nika pointed out her next belief, Elyon gasped. "Nobody has ever felt the same way!!!! I think that they just want to be able to provide for their tiny families, so they take peoples items out of survival! But they don't take just shoes! They take other stuff too!" You always had to be on the look out for those nargles, even if they were just trying to help their families. Elyon wished she had a family. Well- she did. Hers was just broken apart.

Elyon studied Septimus's face for a moment, and she knew something was wrong. "....You guess?" She asked softly? "Septimus.... are you okay?" By this point, she could detect a family problem no matter what, she'd had enough struggles with her own. He sounded almost.... guilty about something, but what? Maybe he'd tell her, but she didn't want to press the issue. Sometimes people just weren't ready to talk about things, and she respected that a lot.

"Oh, no. I don't.... well not anymore. I don't have any other relatives other than my mum, dad, and brother. But Daddy is really sick, we'll be really lucky if he lives over the summer. And my Mummy, she hates magic. And my brother and I. She's sending us to an orphanage if anything happens to Daddy." Her voice stayed light, and bright, but there was a hint of fear in her voice too. "I'm really scared I'll never see my brother or Hogwarts again. But my friend Selina said I could stay with her, but that's only if Mummy lets me. Which I don't think she will." Wow, that was pretty complicated once she said it out loud. In her mind, it had always seemed so simple.

"Really!?" Elyon nearly jumped out of her seat with glee when he said he'd try to send her things about the glorious creature. "I've only seen one once, but that was just a picture in an addition of my favourite magazine, The Quibler! It's always been my dream to see one in person! I wish they would come to my Muggle village in Southern England. It'd be a dream come true." Elyon sighed and gazed dreamily out the window. She'd never stop trying to find a Crumple-Horned Snorcack. Ever.

Elyon was ecstatic when Rex chose her idea to be the name of his studio! "Rex! I'm so honoured to have helped you! It means so much!" Rex was truly a good friend. No, a great friend. "I can act mature for my age, but I still act like a little kid sometimes!" She pointed out. 'Twas true, being a kid was just so fun! "Yay! What is Renee's favourite dance?" She knew Rex liked the Cha Cha Cha, but what did his fiancee like?

"I don't want to lose you or Christopher either! I'm really scared, Sely," She whimpered a bit, not afraid to admit her feelings. Just what might lie ahead.

"I'll talk to her, I will!" More like plead, really. Maybe Daddy would be strong and hang on just a bit longer, so they'd be able to plan everything out. Yeah! That'd be wonderful! If Daddy could only fight a little more, he would recover! Then Mummy would never hurt them again, and she'd have a father. It would be perfect!

Violet quickly made her through the train peaking her head into all of the compartments looking for her two best friends. She then heard very loud voices knowing immediately who they were coming from and she looked for the sound. Violet then swung the door open holding Sadie in her arms saying bright and proud,"I'M HERE!! HELLO LOVED ONES!!" She closed the door behind her and then smiled widely at them ending it with a hand on her hand.

"Good. And Elyie one more thing. You should spend the summer with your Dad. Chris told me about his condition and maybe you should spend his last moments at his side. Whiltley Hall will still be there after... well after."

Looking up from Elektra Selina saw a mesh of blonde hair float into the compartment. It seemed like a fan was blowing back Violet's hair in a close up shot, but it must have been the Veela blood in her. "Hey Violet. Elektra was just waking up from her nap."

"It's in London. It's called the Hyatt. The doorman will show you up to the apartment. it's number 246 on level twenty-four." Mark, her awesome doorman. Halle was 99% sure he had a crush on their maid Lucy. "Just say your there for the Chung's and he'll tell you where to go." Halle said. "Either that or we'll already be down stairs waiting."

"My sister's ten. I think thats the the same as your sister, if I remember correctly." Halle said. "Maybe you will be able too! That would be really cool."

The utterly anxious - and still awkward feeling Ravenclaw girl stood up, stretched, and walked into the corridor next to the compartments. Saying a quick good bye to the people in the compartment as she planned to head back there eventually she was just ready - very ready for the train to reach the station and for now she'd find someone else to talk to, someone else to say good bye to. Even if she didn't even know the poor soul at least there was someone new to converse with.

"I'm not crying..." Cass began lamely with a sniff "Ok, I am! But its just that...ugh. Levi can be so frustrating!" She continued as she crumpled her hands into a fist "Just because I mentioned a guy's name it doesn't mean that I'm stringing him along or whatever!" She wanted to throw a tantrum so badly right now, but it would have to wait until she got home, locked herself in her wing, and got hold of as much breakable items as she could.

Mother wouldn't be very happy.

Then she looked up when a young girl approached her. "Hi, nice to meet you Nika." Cass said with a soft watery smile as she wiped her tears away "I'm Cass, I'm fine. I just..I just needed to cry that's all."

"Thank you for your concern by the way."

Emily smiled at the enthusiastic young gryffindor.
"Yes! I've been accepted into the Youth Auror Training Initiative. Its a rigorous training program to become an Auror... aside from that I'll still be working at the Ministry part time as well, in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement."
That was an upside to graduating, she could hardly wait to get started. Even though it was going to be very full on.

Emily could feel her cheeks grow warm, ugh Rex was such a sweetie, but almost evey time she ever talked to him he managed to make her glow crimson.
"Thanks Rex", she said again shyly.
On a brighter note... not every guy had been oblivious to her. She remembered the few short weeks she had with Finlay... they were blissful. She would miss him very much.
"Who knows, perhaps there'l be someone at the Ministry for me", she said grinning broadly. No doubt there would be a specrum of men to choose from.

" Jacob, nice name" Rex told Nika. "What house?" Rex asked Nika. " I think you need to talk to him a lot" Rex explained to Nika. " You both could find out about each other" Rex smiled. " Make sure " Mr. Aquides" approves of him" Rex teased Nika laughing hard,

" Well, you are a great person and deserves to be honored" Rex told Elyon. " i guess you act like a little kid sometimes because of your age and I understand completely" Rex explained to Elyon, Renee's favorite dance is also the Waltz" Rex said to Elyon.

" Well, boys can be frustrating" Rex told Cass. " Show him you can act better by not crying" Rex said to Cass." I am sure yo uare not string a boy along at all" Rex agreed with Cass." You go home, forget about Levi, have fun, come back to HogWarts b nest term and like any boy" Rex explained to Cass.

" I am sorry if I make you blush" Rex told Emily. I always tell the truth" Rex said to Emily. "When you get to the Ministry, so hello to my friend J.J. Starr and his wife Katalin" Rex smiled. " I really do not know anything about the Ministry" Rex explained to Emily.

Lexi sashayed through the corridor of the train, her tiara, earrings, necklace, and charm bracelet all displayed PROUDLY about herself. The best birthday presents EVER. She would have tucked the bear under her arm, but that was a bit much.

SIGH there were people in the way. Casting a silent Sonnorus at herself she spoke a moment later, "OI! Kurumi! Where are you?" Casting the nonverbal counter, Quietus she stood with her wand lazily gripped in one hand and the other hand on her hip. She was a princess... people could find her. Mhm.

She wasn't sure if it was the sparkle that caught her attention first or if it had been Lexi's voice BOOMING through all the compartments that had done it. Either way, she had been startled enough to drop her chocolate frog wrapper on the floor as she was trying to open it.

Oops.

Low and behold, the ruddy frog had escaped from its foil prison and smushed itself on the window before jumping out of it and leaving a chocolate smudge where it had been.

Sighing a bit, Kurumi opened the door to the compartment she had been sitting in and entered the corridor where she saw a super pretty sparkly tiara! Lexi standing looking like a pretty princess.

Giggling to herself, she skipped up to her Mama Lion. "You called, your majesty?" she smiled doing a small curtsy.
