"Hmm, im not too sure what your talking about but people just call me AV because my initals are AV ahahah" he said still waiting for candy.

"Im a Fifth year Gryffindor" he said.

Xd
 

"AV is a muggle term for audio/video similar to what Wizards call a wizard wireless" said Damon. "I have loads of candy in my trunk in my compartment."

"Oh, really ahahahha thats awesome I guess." he said while having a good laugh. Oh, he said where the candy was. "Well alright, lets go get some candy" he said while smiling.

Still shaking a bit from her encounter with Cookie Hater, Kurumi fumbled with her hands a bit as she tried to pin her badge to her blouse. She supposed it was almost time for her to get her school robes on and inform others that they should be doing the same. Finally accomplishing this, Kurumi looked up and saw Hugo standing before her. FINALLY a friendly face. She could have hugged him...so she did.

"HUGO!" she chirped as her arms wrapped around him. "You have no idea how happy I am to see you." Not that she didn't like talking with all the first years, but she was glad that she didn't have to feel the pressure of being, well, SOMEONE. "My summer was fantastic...and odd. I went to New York to study abroad at the Wizarding United Nations and then spent a week in Florida at Disney World before heading back to Japan for the remainder of the summer. How was yours?"

[QUOTE=WitchLight27;10600399]She noticed another one coming to their direction. It's really becoming quite fun to stay in a place like these instead of the compartment.
"Yeah of course. But don't you want to find a compartment first for your owl? You love it don't you?" she beamed. "I left my cat at my compartment. There's the trolley there, you can buy some food if you're hungry."[QUOTE/]

Raven smiled, "Oh, do you mind if I put my owl, Addison, in your compartment? If you tell me what your cat looks like, you don't have to get up to show me. Then I can be right back. You are right, there really is no room in this trolley for an owl."

Man, how many people really needed to get food on the train? Dallin had a legitimate reason; he'd spaced buying some in Diagon Alley. But come on, the line was long! Although... there were a lot of kids, maybe a lot forgot to buy treats, like he had.

*sigh*

His song was almost coming to an end, and that was when he realized that he wasn't the only one humming. He listened closer, not turning around to see who was humming a harmony with him. Until she spoke. Looking over his shoulder, Dallin smiled at Ivory. "Hey." Turning around fully, his smile got a bit wider. "Long time no see." Well, sorta. The last time he had seen her was at the Lagoon thing... and that was a few months ago. So, yes.

He didn't ask how she'd been, though. He didn't want the question turned on him. Because he didn't have an exact answer to it yet.

Griiiiiiin. She thought he was handsome. Well Miss Mia, Salariel was officially your handsome mountain. All yours!

Sometimes. After all, sharing was caring, wasn't it.

Gemelli seemed rather pleased with her gentle touch, his little head turning under her finger to get more petting. When she moved, the small bat shrank back into Salariel's shirt, hiding in the darkness once again.

She winked at him! Winked. She couldn't make it more obvious that she wanted him! Salariel was in with a seventh year hottie. This train trip was officially worth the long hours.

"Well... officially, I'm from Windmere, but last year I was from Trinidad, and when I was younger I was from Switzerland." Oh yes. He was a well-traveled man. "I was at a school for a year, but last year I had a tutor."

Selina walked aimlessly through the train trying to find some form of entertainment and failing at her task. It was just that the train added such extra anticipation for the coming school term that sometimes she wished they coyld just apparate to hogwarts. The train, as enjoyable as it could be, was like a confined excitement bin and Selina had very little patience.

As she walked along the corridor she caught sight of the food trolley and stepped into a place online. Noting the girl in front of her she said, "How long does the line usually take?"

sorry for the rushed reply, I wanted to reply before schoool!
 

O_________o

Hug attack! This was... Nice... And sudden... Hugo awkwardly tried to return her hug. She was happy to see him? Now that made his heart all "d'awwwww" and fluffy. "I'm happy to see you to, it's been a while!" he said. And he was glad she was happy. Because she had been sad on a lot of occasions they had met. And now all happy and chipper. Goody. Oh the Wizarding United Nations. That was the name. In New York! "Wow, that's amazing!" he exclaimed. "You all had interesting summers, and I just slept for a big part of the day and ate a lot. I did get to see the French countryside though, which was pretty. But I didn't do much else," he nodded. "But, how was the studying then? What did you do? And Disney world? Awesome!" he rambled.

have fun at school! study hard! *waves finger*
 

Too long really. Kurumi hadn't seen any of her friends for what seemed like years - but that was mostly due to the manner in which the term had ended. Everything always seemed longer when bad things were happening.

"Going to France is interesting," Kurumi laughed. "And rest is important as well."

Kurumi moved to brush some of her hair over her shoulder, when it got caught on her badge and ended up tugging on her head. Ouch. "It was all fascinating," she began as she tried to untangle the knot of hair around her badge. "There were students my age from all over the world and we discussed current wizarding events and foreign Ministry policies. Mostly though, I just enjoyed being in America. It was my first time after all." Hair free now, Kurumi decided that the safe thing to do would be to tie it back in a pony tail. "I got to dress up as a princess for the day. Conan and his family were far too kind to me."

Zhenya walked out of the compartment and headed towards the great mass of students. She waited patiently behind them, feeling so small. She turned to her new friend and said "What are you going to get? I think I might get a pumpkin pasty."

Rafe stormed out of the compartment and felt a bit rude for leaving the pleasant company. But, he left with the intention to return. It wasn't like he was going to jump off the train. He really hoped Marilyn would follow him. He had so much to say to her. He just needed to explain. But, right now, he was more concerned about her attitude. Things weren't perfect between them, but were they ever? Why couldn't they just work past this. He wasn't pressuring her or pursuing her. He always loved having her as a friend. Marilyn was his best friend and he could tell her anything. And he still loved her dearly.

Marilyn was NOT happy about this request. Why would he want to see her away from everyone else? What could there possibly be to discuss?

She was talking to Carter now...and she was NOT going to have a repeat of Third Year. Following after Rafe probably hadn't been the best idea...but Marilyn felt it was important to do so.

What am I doing?

Spotting Rafe, she crossed her arms tightly. "What is it?"

"Well, I'd love to get some Chocolate Frogs, I've collected a couple of the cards when my dad would buy them for us," Said Glenn, "I'm starving,anyway."
Glenn started scanning the crowd for her brother but couldn't see anyone she recognised.

A couple of hours had passed when Charles finally woke from his nap. As soon as he awoke he noticed he was incredibly hungry. He went out of his compartment to find a food trolley serving out all sorts of amazing treats. He waited patiently behind the line until he was the only one left. He looked around at the cart and saw all sorts of curious snacks. There was a tall box labelled Bertie Botts Every Flavour beans, an octagonal container filled with supposed Chocolate Frogs and rows of Pumpkin Pasties. At least thats what he saw at first glance. There was much, much more but Charles decided to go with the beans and frogs. He hoped they would help settle the restlessness in his stomach as he went back to his compartment. He could feel they were close.

Rafe looked away from the delicious sweets to the gorgeous blonde looking rather upset at him."First off...you look very beautiful today," he smiled. Then he turned to examine the trolley. Hmm...what to get?

"And secondly, I feel I owe you an apology. I put you in an awkward situation at the end of the term feast and it was rude and forced and I know you're with Carter..." Rafe put his hands on his hips and lost his train of thought. "Do I want pumpkin pasties or cauldron cakes?" Rafe then crossed his arms and was in a thinker's pose. "Oh, I guess, I'll take some sugar quills and chocolate frogs." Rafe reached in his pocket and pulled out some galleons, not realizing that something most precious to him clinked to the floor. "Um...maybe some pumpkin juice too?" Hmm...did he get everything.

What was he playing at? She looked like she did any other day...(sans shopping bags!)

And Rafe was seriously ordering food when he was meaning to speak with her? Totally rude...Something made a sound as it hit the floor and Marilyn eyes instinctively snapped down towards the object. Kneeling to the floor, she scooped up...

Her grandmother's locket...

Rafe obviously hadn't realized he'd dropped it, so she stuffed it in her pocket..determined to think about this later. It wasn't something the blonde was willing to even agonize over at the moment. "What did you want? I need to get back to my friends?"

Rafe paid for his food and put the money back in his pocket...Wait, it couldn't have? Rafe dropped his food and started freaking out. He just had it! It was there when he was talking to her in the back compartment, because it was something he held on to when he felt concerned about Marilyn. "Um..." He looked all around him and began to empty his pocket. He was as white as a ghost. "Where the bloody 'ell did it go?" He go on his hands and knees and was in a complete panic. The food didn't matter. Nothing mattered. He began searching under the trolley and he began to feel sick to his stomach. If he couldn't find it, he would jump of the train if need be! Tears began to feel his eyes, ever so slightly. This was probably one of the most precious gifts...not it WAS the most precious gift he ever got and now it was missing in a matter of seconds. He would've tried a summoning spell, but he placed a spell on it so that couldn't happen. That way, if someone else did try to summon it, they couldn't.

Hmm...

Marilyn gave him a critical look before sighing. "I'm going back to my compartment if all you're going to do is freak out...and act weird." Rolling her eyes, she turned to leave...

Internally, however, she was pleased that he'd had her grandmother's locket. But why? It made no sense. Why hold onto something from an Ex?

Well, Marilyn knew they'd been much more than a simply relationship any day...She felt bad deceiving Rafe in this way, but everything would be okay someday.

Someday when she didn't have to live in fear.

"Marilyn, wait!" Rafe reached out and grabbed her hand. "There's a long list of things I will ask your forgiveness for...this moment being one of them." Rafe's voice wasn't that strong and this would be one of those moments where he would reach for her locket, but now he had her hand in his and it was enough.

Rafe got off his knees and stood in front of her. "I miss you." Three words to replace what he really wanted to say. "I miss talking to you and right now there's so many things I want to say to you, to let you know. I want to tell you about my summer and the summer before. I miss having my best friend to talk to." Every bit of it was genuine and he really hoped she could get that. "I want you to ask me questions...questions that have been bothering you about me or your concerns...and I promise I will be honest with you. I let you know anything...because I've always been here for you."

Marilyn gave him a look...but couldn't maintain it. Why was he doing this to her...and WHY was he touching her hand. She jerked it back instinctively, not liking the way electricity seemed to be flowing up her arm. "Listen, Rafe..." Turning from him, she sighed. "I'm with Carter now...and as long as you can respect that...we can remain friends."

For some reason, Marilyn couldn't look him in the eyes while she said this. It was hard to look at him, period. "There's nothing I need to ask you right now, Rafe. Simply because you and I are no longer together..." The words felt disgusting leaving her mouth, but it was something she needed desperately to say. "Maybe in a few weeks, months...years...Whatever...But right now, I cannot be around you."

Salima walked from the middle compartment to the food trolley.
'Hello' she said in a friendly way 'can I have a licorice wand and two chocolate frogs please'

Did someone just use a time turner nearby because this felt like 5 years ago all over again? "Marilyn this isn't going to be a replay of second year, you're with Carter and I'm not going to try a force my feelings on you again. I've changed a lot over the summer. I can accept a world where we're not together, but I can't accept a world where you're not in my life. And I'll fight for that til the day I die!"

Rafe still didn't understand. He could accept that she was with Carter now, but he didn't get why she was acting this way. "It's just like the box I gave you...I hope that one day it will open, but if it doesn't as long as you're happy and safe I can be content with your choice. I can...I can let you go. And I'm sure of it this time." Rafe wanted to reach out and hold her hand again, not as an extension of friendship, but comfort this time because he could see she was hurting. "You're safe Marilyn."

Rafe obviously wasn't understanding...It wasn't him, she was concerned about...It was HER. Marilyn didn't trust herself with him. Rafe made her feel...stuff that wasn't safe to feel. "Rafe, you need to really think about what you're saying...and what I'm saying."

All this talk about letting her go was making her feel a little depressed. The box was in her bag back in the compartment...and had been with her all summer. Nothing had happened. It had not opened or gave Marilyn any signs that it had plans to do so..."I just feel like you and I...are a disaster waiting to happen...and before we hurt each other, I need to walk away...because even friends hurt each other."

This was becoming serious fast...

Spending all the time she had with Carter had been a catalyst for something...real. Things had been different in second year...easier...but now, she seriously believed she could fall in love with him.
