Default Front of the Train

The driver and snack lady sit up front in the driver's cab, but there are plenty of other compartments up here. Prefects have their very own!

Selina walked onto the train and looked down at her shoes. Something was wrong. They weren't black and she wasn't ready for school. The red robes were gone and she was in normal clothes- she was going home. How did this year end? She wasn't sure, but she was a second year now.

Elyon felt so strange to not have the feel of her robes billowing behind her. Her mismatched purple and green shoes (unmatching due to thefty nargles) were so different than her black dress shoes, it was like a part of her missing. She nearly tripped on her long, flowy, patterened skirt when she made her eay to the front of the train. Her eyes lit up when she saw Sely by herself in a compartment, so she smiled and waved as she knocked on the door.

True, Selina had hurt her feelings a bit at the Great Hall, but she wanted to cherish her last moments with her best friend in the whole wide world! Unless they were ever able to visit each other over the summer (which was very unlikely, nearly impossible really), it was quite likely they may never see each other again. But Elyon still was clinging on to that last strand of hope for returning to the school again.

She kept waiting for Sely's approval to enter with all the patience she could muster, as she really wanted to see her best friend.

Feeling like she was going to drop dead at any moment because she was so tired, Marie made her way back to the front of the train. She still hadn't talked to Mia yet but right now all she wanted to do was find Finn and snuggle with him.

Not finding him anywhere though she just found an empty compartment and went in closing the door behind her. Hopefully he would find her once he got on the train... or got done in the prefects compartment... or whatever it was he may be doing. For now maybe she would just close her eyes for a few minutes. Hopefully Destiny and Evelyn were tucked away somewhere on the back of the train so she wouldn't have to worry about them bothering her right now. Although with that black eye Destiny was sporting she had a feeling that girl wouldn't be messing with her for a while... unless she wanted her other eye to match.

With those chocolate frogs in the pockets off his hoody, Finlay wandered along the corridor of the train, trying to decide whether to go to the back or just stay here at the front. It would all depend on who he could find really. With a yawn he glanced into a compartment, and that was when he decided that he was going to stay down here. Marie was there, and she looked like she was asleep. Maybe he'd go make sure nobody came and dyed her hair pink again.

Pushing open the door, he kind of hoped not to make too much noise. He didn't want to wake her if she was asleep. Although he had a feeling that she would probably want tobe awake if she knew that he was there. Dumping his bag onto the floor, he sat down next to her, watching her for a few seconds. Then he decided that he couldn't do with her sleeping, it was too quiet, and he wanted to share his chocolate frogs with him. "Marie..." She could sleep later. hehe.

Hearing the compartment door open Marie tried opening her eyes but they wouldn't open. She was too tired... or maybe she was just dreaming that the door opened.

Letting her mind drift deeper into the dream a smile appeared on her face when suddenly a very familiar smell filled her nose. Wow, since when did her dreams become so real. It was almost like Finn was sitting there with her. She knew the smell of his cologne, it was her favorite smell after all. Her subconscious must really be missing him if she was smelling him in her sleep... and now she was hearing his voice too.

Now all she needed was a kiss from him and this would be the perfect dream.

Mmm. Finn had a feeling that she was asleep, especially when she did open her eyes were he said her name. He grinned a little, as he watched her smile. Yup. She was dreaming, and was really so cute. Part of him really didn't want to wake her up, but he really did want to actually talk to her. Kinda couldn't do that when she was asleep. "Marie..." He spoke a bit louder this time, nudging her a little.

He did hope that she would wake up, because he didn't really know how else to wake her. He wasn't used to waking people up. It was normally the other way around. "Babe, wake up." Or he was going to go and find someone else to talk to, so that she could sleep. Hmmm. He decided to just wait here till she woke up....hoping that it wouldn't be that long. Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out a chocolate frog, beginning to open it.

Hearing her name again and feeling a nudge, Marie moved just a little bit. It wasn't until she heard Babe, wake up that she actually opened her eyes.

Finlay...

He WAS there.

Not even paying attention to the fact that he had chocolate in his hands she wrapped her arms around him and gave him a big hug and a kiss. "Mmm, I was just dreaming about you." Or maybe it wasn't a dream, since he really was there.

Eh, didn't matter really. He was there now and she was snuggling close to him... this she KNEW wasn't a dream.

Mmm. He was just about to put some of the chocolate into his mouth, Finn felt some arms around him, and he smiled. Marie had woken up. She'd been dreaming off him? "Really??" He smiled at her, wrapping an arm around her waist. "Must hve been a good dream....you had a huge smile on your face." It was nice to know that he made her that happy really. It made him happy, which was a good thing.

He had noticed before how her hair wasn't pink anymore, and he was glad that it wasn't. He much prefered her being blonde. "I see you got the pink out..." But she did look really tired. Had she got no sleep?

He sounded surprised that she was dreaming about him. "Really. You invade my dreams all the time." It was true. Every night he crept into her... dreams. "All my dreams about you are good."

Snuggling closer to him she put her head on his shoulder. "Yeah. I was beginning to think I wasn't going to be able to after Destiny stole the potion from me." But one black eye later and she had back what rightfully belonged to her... the potion AND her blonde hair. "It was a really long night though. I didn't sleep at all." And now that she was in Finn's arms she wasn't going to be sleeping on the train either. No way was she wasting her time with him on sleep.

Spotting the chocolate frog in his hand she grabbed it from him. "I think I better help you with this." You know before it melts all over his hand. After biting the head off the frog she held the rest of it up to his mouth. "You really should try this. It's pretty tasty."

What? She liked chocolate too. She just didn't eat it as much as Destiny Finn did.

Aww. That was so cute. "Well....that's nice." Finlay smiled at her. It was quite nice to know she dreams about him, actually it was a very big ego boost. He wasn't going to tell her though, because he figured she was probably already aware of that fact. "Well I am pretty epic..." Yes. He was. He was great, even he had to admit to that...most of the time.

Mmm. Snuggle time. Finn smiled, holding her close. Now as long as nobody interupted them then this would be pretty perfect. "You didn't sleep?" No wonder she looked so tired. Maybe she could have a little nap now then, he wasn't about to let anyone do anything to her. He didn't think anyone would with him around anyway, considering that he was prefect. "Why don't you take a nap now?" He totally wouldn't mind it at all. He could have a little nap too, and that would totally be cool.

But. Whaaat? She'd taken his chocolate. "Marie...." He laughed, shaking his head at her. He didn't really mind, he had brought some stuff for her to eat too. Finn smiled taking the rest of the chocolate from her, and taking a bite. "They're my favorite..."

Marie grinned when he said he was pretty epic. She knew his ego didn't need to be boosted anymore than it already was but that wasn't going to stop her. She loved him and she wanted to make sure he never forgot it."Mmm, all that epicness is what made me fall in love with you." That and the fact that he treated her so good and actually showed that he cared about her.

"Nope, didn't sleep at all. I wasn't about to give anyone a chance to mess with me again." At least now she would have a few months that she wouldn't have to worry about what would happen to her while she slept. "I don't want to nap now. I want to stay awake with you." She looked up at him and gave him a soft little kiss. "Once we get off this train I won't get to see you for a whole two weeks. That's like... forever." Okay, so maybe she was exaggerating juuust a little but to her two weeks without seeing Finn was like a lifetime.

Besides,she would have plenty of time to sleep once she got home.

"I thought fudge was your favorite?" She was starting to think that anything with chocolate in it was his favorite. Noticing there was just a tiny bit of chocolate on his lips she decided to help him with that too. "Mmm, tasty." She said as she kissed him again with just a little lick of his lips this time.

Yep, she liked chocolate too.

Awww. Finn did like hearing that, a lot. It was nice. "You're so cute Marie." She really was, he loved it so much. He squeezed her a little, hugging her tight. She knew that he loved her, which was really why he wasn't telling her. And because he didn't really want her to think he was saying it because she had. It wasn't like that all.

"I don't think they will considering what you did to Destiny...." Nope. He was pretty sure that people weren't going to get in the way of her fists anymore. Finn certainly wasn't going to be getting in the way. ot at all. She didn't want to sleep? Well that was kinda of sad, he wanted to. He'd just do it at home instead. "I'm sure we can last two weeks babe, then we'll have the rest of summer to spend together." And he was pretty sure that she was going to have a good time with her parents and Mia, so maybe she would've think about missing him too much. He also had a feeling that they'd probably be owling each other all the time, so maybe they'd be okay.

"I think everything with chocolate is my favorite really..." Which was probably a bad thing. Maybe it was good that she was there to keep him healthy. A very good thing probably. Haha. He grinned against her lips. "Mmm....I know I'm tasty." And very vain.

Selina looked up and saw Elyie sitting there outside the compartment door. Pulling herself out of her book she unlocked the door and let her friend in. She knew that her behavior was not the best in the Great Hall during the last feast, but in all honesty Selina did not want anyone to talk to her then. Her and Adam had had their last falling out. Their friendship was done and Selina knew that. When Elyie had approached her she didn't want any company.

Turning to her friend she said, "Look I'm sorry about what had happened in the Great Hall. I appreciate you wanting to help me but I don't want anyone to be involved in what happened back there. It's behind me now. I am sorry about blowing you off though. You're a good friend."

Jacob walked into an empty compartment. All he had in his hands were his bag of clothes to change into as they made their way back and his broom... which he wasn't going to be riding for too much longer. Marcus had promised him a new broom and betters bat now that he'd won the Quidditch cup... even if the man didn't understand the game, he seemed to still be pleased that Jacob was still weilding brutal weapons.

Jacob sat down and stared out the window... Now was the begining of the homestretch. Jacob was going to be a sixth year, which meant he had only 2 more years, and then he was done with the never ending abbyss that they call Hogwarts... he'd be able the Play Quidditch all the time. What better of a Job could there be for him... And Vindictus was willing to help him get there.

"I don't think they will considering what you did to Destiny...." Nope. He was pretty sure that people weren't going to get in the way of her fists anymore. Finn certainly wasn't going to be getting in the way. ot at all. She didn't want to sleep? Well that was kinda of sad, he wanted to. He'd just do it at home instead. "I'm sure we can last two weeks babe, then we'll have the rest of summer to spend together." And he was pretty sure that she was going to have a good time with her parents and Mia, so maybe she would've think about missing him too much. He also had a feeling that they'd probably be owling each other all the time, so maybe they'd be okay.

"I think everything with chocolate is my favorite really..." Which was probably a bad thing. Maybe it was good that she was there to keep him healthy. A very good thing probably. Haha. He grinned against her lips. "Mmm....I know I'm tasty." And very vain.
Hehe, he thought she was cute. "Yeah, I know." Well as long as she was blonde she knew she was cute. "That's why you love me so much." That and the fact that she boosted his ego all the time. Which she totally loved to do. "You do know there's no cuter couple than us at Hogwarts." It was true. Finlay Carmicheal and Marie Salazar were the epitome of cute when they were together.

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure Destiny doesn't want another black eye." And knowing Destiny she would be telling everyone who dotted hr eye for her. Which would be a good thing because then others would know not to mess with her.

She knew they would be able to last two weeks without seeing each other, she just didn't want to do it. The time was going to come way to soon for her when she would be in the same situation as Mia. Only seeing her boyfriend on holidays. That was something she wasn't looking forward to. Which is why she wanted to spend all the time she could with him now. "Knowing we will have the rest of the summer is what will keep me going. Plus I'm sure it will be an adventure staying with Mia for a week." Boy was that an under statement if she ever heard one. Marie living in a muggle commune, sleeping in a muggle tent, doing everything the muggle way, for a whole week. Not exactly her idea of a dream get-a-way, but for Mia she would make it work.

So he did like everything with chocolate in it. Hmm, she would have to remember to wear that chocolate flavored lip gloss she had more often. That was way more healthy for him than actually eating a chunk of chocolate. "Don't worry babe, I'll make sure you eat plenty of healthy stuff too." And then let him have a little chocolate for dessert.

"You're really going vain now Miss Salazar." Finlay laughed, lifting his feet up, and resting them on the seat opposite. Mmm. Maybe he was having a bad effect on Marie, influencing her to be much more vain than she had been before. But she was cute, so he saw no problems in it what so ever. "Of course theres not." Because they were totally epic. People would probably disagree with him, but he didn't really care. It was his opinion that mattered most to him.

oh...she would definetly have fun at Mia's. He'd only been there once (Which was totally bad seeing as they were best friends, he should totally go over there again soon) but knew what the commune was like. Marie was definetly going to have fun there. "I'm sure Mia will keep you busy." And her parents. Marie might come back never wanting to work again, which Finlay probably wouldn't object too. His mother didn't work so... "And you'll have lots of stories to tell me when you get back." Which he really would enjoy hearing about. It would be awesome.

"I know you will." To be honest it was probably quite a good thing, because he really did want to stay fit. Especially considering that he had his trial for the the Montrose Magpies during the summer, had to be on top form for that.

Emily dragged her trunk along with her as she found an empty compartment. It was a lot heavier than she remembered it.
"This compartment will do." she turned and smiled to her best friend Nika as she put her trunk in the holders above them, then sat down.
"This is it!" she said trying to sound excited "We're going home! Will your parents be at the platform? I'd love to see them!" And vice versa if she wanted to see hers.

Everyone knew that the back of the train was the place to be when you wanted to know EVERYTHING that happened during the train ride back home, that's why he didn't mind to be at the front this time. Though, in all fairness, he couldn't remember where he sat on the way to Hogwarts.

Treyen had already exchanged addresses with Rae, and while he was so looking forward to summer, there was always that feeling of leaving that wandered in his head.

Pushing all that aside, the boy knocked on this particular compartment door, and slided it open, rather quickly. After the door was opened a knut had fallen to the floor, the knut that Aslan got used to play with, so, his eyes were down staring at it while he started to ask something to whoever was occupying the compartment, "Sorry, do you mind--" eyes up, "Vashti!" he said, with a small smile directed to the girl, "Er, I hope you don't mind but I'm joining you in here," and it didn't seem like Vashti had a saying in it, since he was already picking up the knut and walking inside.

His backpack went to the shelf. There was no Thaddeus or Gilderoy with him, he'd left them with the rest of his luggage, they'll be okay there. The Hufflepuff glanced towards the trunk on the floor and was about to ask if she needed help with it, but his eyes got lost in the window, good thing he was sitting as far away from the window as possible or he would've lost sight of Vashti.


Hearing the sound of the compartment door opening, Vashti brought her arm that was against the window/wall up to wipe at her eyes quickly. She didn't think she had been crying, but that sort of thing was unnoticeable when you were staring out at the scenery, so she was just making sure. Fortunately, she didn't feel any wetness on her cheeks, so it was all good.

Just as she turned away from the window, the person spoke, and she saw that it was Treyen. This situation was oddly reminiscent of the train ride to Hogwarts, except he'd had a knarl with him last time. And so far there weren't any Quibblers. And hopefully it would stay that way.

"No, I don't mind," she answered, though it seemed like he didn't care whether she minded or not, seeing as he'd already sat down. "Did you have a good year?" she asked, the only thing she could think of to keep the conversation going. Though she wasn't sure if he would hear her - he looked pretty focused on the window.

After a couple of compartments that she found full, Annie finally reached somewhere she could sit down, next to her cat and her bag covering her lap. There wasn't much to say, but she just wanted to talk to someone before the ride would end.
Ellie was relatively HAPPY. Happier than the other train rides home. Why? Well, because no one she knew was leaving. Therefore, she had nothing to be sad about. She could just be herself.

And excited. That too. Because she was going HOME. To her daddy and mommy and Aidan. And she had PLANS. So, she shouldn't be bored like last summer.

The front of the train seemed perfect for today. She didn't have to walk her lazy self too far. But she wasn't exactly the first person on the train, so it had gotten crowded.

This was the first compartment she saw that was relatively empty. And rather than walk more, find the others PACKED, and turn around, she just walked in. "Mind if I sit here?"

She'd probably stay whether the girl wanted her to or not.

Well, that was good. That she didn't mind. Though, what would've happened if she'd said she did. Awkward, no?

He was listening...but it seemed that the sound of words was too far away for him to truly reach his ears. Except they did. The thing is, it just occurred to him that Jake was leaving for real, and the window only reminded him that he'll be anywhere in the world for the rest of his life. That day will come for Treyen as well, he just never thought about it until now.

Great timing.

His eyes were on Vashti again and he smiled, "I like to think it was." Though, it had been quite disastrous at the beginning, it ended up being a very good term. There were more gains than losses, and that was always great.

Speaking of losses. "I didn't really notice you at the party and I haven't see you after the game...," the Quidditch celebration party, of course, but that was rather obvious, there was another Ravenclaw on his mind that time, "...Congratulations! You were pretty good at that Championship game." He should know, he was the Keeper.

Amazing, though, how he didn't ask about her year.

Staring out the window seemed like a perfect idea for the moment, while the compartment started to fill, and more students began to gather outside the train halls, each one of them either saying goodbye because it was their last year or talking about what they'd do during the summer. She smiled. It reminded her of the past terms, when she'd do those things...

Her mind wandering ended when a girl came into the compartment and asked if she could sit there. Annie nodded, "Sure...come in." She replied with a grin and pointed to the seat couch in front of her while she patted Copito's head as he stood up in the presence of the girl.

HOLISTIC ACTRESS {X O} EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED

Looking out the door of the compartment Kyle made a slight squeak noise. The guy she had been avoiding was right outside. She felt like disillusioning herself right then and there but that might not be a good thing. Maybe stepping into the rest room she could change out of her robes and blend in with all the older girls in the school with well, similar looks to hers.

You could see the panic in the girls eyes as the gryffindor seventh year walked past the door. She then looked to the quiet little second year - going third year and sighed feeling sorry for interrupting an already awkward conversation. Panic, and regret were two things that didn't go hand-in-hand.

Feeling brave, well in that awkward instance she spoke her tone hushed. "Hey if you two want to - because I know traveling can be annoying and sometimes the leaky cauldrons expensive...well, my aunt's got a flat in Diagon Alley - you can stay there before the train next year if you like....you don't have to obviously," She offered kindly and awkwardly. "Anyways, Kurumi - right? I hope you have a nice summer." She offered smiling.

She decided to try and slip out of the room without being noticed - but first she'd have to wait till that certain person was in a deep conversation and wouldn't notice her.

"Thanks."

Ellie fully entered the compartment and took the seat. Next to her, she placed her bag which, along with her camera, contained different candies and yummy things she'd taken from the kitchen before leaving.

"Cute kitty." Yupp.

And the smell came. Those candies were the calling for the cat that immediately let go of her owner and jumped from one of the seats to the other, making Annie shake her head. "My cat...he's...addicted to candy. So, I advice you to either hide the bag or share, or he'll bite...or scratch..." Whatever Copito had to do to get the candy.

When was Copito going to learn?

"I'm Annie...last time here, and you are...?" She asked, stretching out her hand.
