Maxwell liked being in charge of this. it was something he had never done before but at the same time he felt like he knew what he was doing. "Some sort of light to the Forbidden Forest, also some basic defense spells. Maybe some snacks in case We get hungry." Maxwell laughed a little at this one. "Anything You think We'll need, Josie?"

Simon was looking through his bag when suddenly he had an idea, he could leave the books of the lesson he hated in here and when he got to school he could just say he had took them out to read and must have forgot about them, surely he couldn't get into any trouble for that, not unless a Prefect caught him leaving them, though since he was sure they couldn't catch a fly let alone anyone as brainy as him, then there was no problems there.

Simon suddenly remembered that last term he had gotten a cane for Professor Vidictus, well this term maybe he should try and make up for that, also he wanted to see if Professor Lafay was still as scary as she ever was, he felt sorry for anyone who upset her, he still had nightmares about the detention she had given him in his second year at Hogwarts.

he was lost beyond lost. how hard was it to be on a train. the Greek walked around and found the middle of the train and saw some other students on there but he was looking for a seat and he didn't know anybody so he was lost to be quite honest. maybe the word lost wasn't really the right word for it because he wasn't lost he just didn't know where to go okay...fine...he was lost beyond belief and it was hard for him to be lost when he didn't know where he was even headed.

The train was getting chaotic by the minute. It's normal, train rides is always like this. You meet your old friends, you get to meet new friends. You finally get to talk to that special someone or you might come across and old enemy. Jonathan just boarded the train. He was still carrying his bag pack around as he looked for a compartment.

He tried checking every single compartment he could find but most of it were already occupied BUT on right on the corner there was an empty compartment. Thank you!

Jonathan entered and toss his bag on the side and sat down. He rested his feet onto the chair in front. Cozy as it will ever be. He opened the window and let the wind blew.

As he looked at the scenery outside, he doze off for awhile. Daydreaming about getting to Hogwarts already. Fifth year!

Fee sat in her compartment with a book in her hand.It was always nice to have some time to read,since the blonde was a sucker for love novels.As she heard some noise from the corridor she closed her book and looked out of the compartment door.

There was a guy standing and he looked kinda lost.He probably was new to Hogwarts.There were soooo many transfers this term.Getting up from her seat the Slytherin opened the door and stepped out."Heey there",she smiled friendly and tipped the guy in the shoulder,"do you need help?"

"Holy cricket," Katrina cannot believe her sight. IT WAS BEATRICE! "Hi Bea!"
She ran to hug her friend and smiled so widely.
"It's good to see you find me," Katrina said. "You're an amazing detective!"

Josephine wrote the things he was listing and tapped the quill in her lips "Let's see... we'll need potions just in case, and uhh... I think I can handle the spells, I know a few" she re-checked some notes and waved her wand "Lumos!" the tip of her wand flared up "Dad wants us to be prepared" she giggled.

Beezus was looking at every compartment hoping to see her best friend aboard. She really missed her, though they had an agreement to meet at the Station, her bestfriend didn't arrive. Oh, please. I hope she got on !

While surveying the compartments, she came across one occupied by a student, much more older than her. He was ransacking his bag and taking an awful lot of books out, and .. he was grinning wickedly.

Beatrice was wondering what was wrong with him, "Uhm, hi ? Are you okay ?"

Katrina was hugging her and it was rather funny for them to act so close, "Kat ! I told you, stop calling me Bea !" she said chuckling as they separated. "Oh, and me being a great detective ? Have you discovered that one just now ?"

Just better?..did he not see her the other day. She was just better nothing else. "Yeah..why?" she asked a little too curious. She watched as he out his finger in his owl's cage. He was going to get bitten, if he planed to cary on. Owl's didn't exactly like fingers sticking in their cages. "Are you trying to get bitten again? She asked him making sure he was aware of what he was doing.

Stupid Aya. Why did she have to hoot. This was so not cool. "Yeah." she said blushing from embarressment that her owl had made so much noise. "Her names Aya.." She was usually a well behaved owl, but today she acted different. Aya gave another hoot, it looked like she was trying to say something. Couldn't she keep it for later.

Jerrod started eating his last sandwich with caviar on. It tasted very good. Some of his new friends had left to find others but he had at least talked for someone which was a huuuuugeee diffrent then before. He smiled and he looked out of the window.

Simon looked around and saw someone talking. "You scared me then, I thought you might be a Pre." He then stopped when he realised that might scare the girl off. "Hi I'm Simon Leonarder De Simpson The Third, though all my friends just call me Simon." He smiled as he put his potions book under his seat and his History of Magic book and a few other things on the rack above his head.

Simon smiled as he sat down and closed his bag up. "I'm in Hufflepuff and this is my fifth year." Okay so those books would come in handy for Owls but at least if he accidently left them on the train, then he couldn't get into trouble, he'd just say he was reading them when he forgot to pick them back up.

Okay, what the heck is his purpose on putting his books in such places? "What are you doing ?" she asked. This time, Beatrice is really bewildered upon the boy's actions. Was he doing some mischief ?

"It's good to meet you Simon. I'm Beezus by the way, and I'll be starting at Hogwarts this year."

After not finding a place in the back of the train Minerva tried to find a place in the middle of the train. She was really starting to feel lonely. She was excited to go to Hogwarts, but she at least had a few friends in the Muggle world. In this new world she had no one. Her mother was a witch and told her all the wonderful stories of Hogwarts, but Minerva was scared.

Simon smiled at Beezus. "I'm just going to say I forgot to pick my books up and so they are still on the train." Simon looked at her wondering if she would get a Prefect he wasn't sure if he could trust her. "I hate those subjects so if I accidently leave them on the train then I can't get into trouble and there's no need to worry about the Pree's there to busy chatting to know I've left them." He then heard the next part of what she said. "Cool, I remember when I started my first term, I got into trouble for dungbombing the second floor." He couldn't believe how long ago that was now.

Valerie had scanned the front of the train for free or half empty compartments with no luck. She didn't want to join a big group as she was sure she would be imposing. Just as she was about to give up, and sit at the nearest compartment-most likely full of people, she saw a girl who looked about Valerie's age all by herself. Valerie grinned to herself, maybe they could find a spot together.

Pretty much dragging her super heavy luggage behind her, Valerie finally made her way over to the girl. Panting from having to walk with the weight of all her bags (which probably meant she was rather unfit considering she didn't have to walk much) she stuck out her hand to the girl.

"Hi, I'm," pant. "Valerie. Do you," pant. "Want to find somewhere to sit," pant. "With me?"

Cora hoped that Elliot was a bit nervous, too. As she looked out the window, admiring the beautiful hills and open space, Cora wondered if Hogwarts would be like she dreamed it would. She turned back to Elliot, stroking her tiny white kitten which still didn't have a name. "What?" Cora asked with a smile. She could tell Elliot was really excited about this, and Cora very much enjoyed other people's excitement.

Danielle stared at Josephine and Maxwell quizzically, what were they talking about "what? gillyweed? what is that?" Danielle stared at Josephine "you know i'm not that into magic, i only knew about hogwarts when you told me last year, i never pay attention to my parents" she said with a big smile on her face.

She was staring at him, dumbfounded. Slowly but surely, she was holding unto every word he was saying. Leaving books on the train eh ? So he really was up to something ! Something quite mischievous .

"No ! Seriously, you break rulesssss ?" Okay, way to go ! His ideas were tempting , but Beatrice wsn't that bad. She decided to befriend this one. He reminds her of the Great founders of the Weasley's Wizard Wheezes Shop, she has an uncommon like of the twins and their amazing talents.

"You know, you shouldn't really be telling me all these. I could get a Prefect and report you in no time." she said. That was right, really. She wanted to know if he was going to be scared or not.

Josephine looked at her friend with a raised eyebrow "Of course, Max, she can help with the mirror, talking with my brother if she doesn't want to dive in the lake" she raise da thumb-up

"Good, i think We'll need to work on the gillyweed thing..unless You can think of another way to breathe underwater. I don't know too much about potions but I'm sure we'll need something. although i don't know where We'll get supplies."

Lily curled up by the window, wondering where that loud girl had gone. It wasn't a great start. She still had no one to talk to, and nothing to eat, since she'd given the girl her chocolate bar. She was starting to feel hungry now too, and wishing the train ride would end. This at least meant the hogwarts feast would be nearer.

Gazing around, she wondered how all the other students had so much confidence as to just walk up and start talking to people. What did they say? How did they start the conversation? She didn't know, as she'd always been painfully shy. Her books had always served as suitable companions. This was different though..

"Hi my name is Minerva. I would love to find a place to sit together." Minerva thought this day might just turn around. First meeting a nice boy at the food trolley and now a girl her age wants to sit with her. Minerva's excitement started raising as the year started looking more promising.

Simon looked at Breezus. "No your not, it was a total accident, I just got by books out of my bags to read and then I forgot to pick them up and by the time I remembered I forgot to pick them back up it's too late." Simon laughed. "They can't tell you off for an accident, you just have to make sure your convincing enough.

Simon nearly fell on the floor laughing at what Breezus said next. "Well I doubt the Prefects would believe a first year over a fifthed and the books are hidden now and the Pre's are to busy chatting in the Prefect compartment so I doubt you'd be able to find one before the train gets to Hogwarts, plus if I'm not scared of them." He had given Professor Vindictus a walking stick and had hugged Professor Lafay they were the scariest people at Hogwart.

Minerva looking into different places for seating with Valerie came upon a place where a boy sat that she recognized. It was so excited to recognize someone. "Harvey, Hi remember me from the food trolley? Do you mind if Valerie and I sat with you?"

Valerie smiled. "Nice to meet you Minerva." This was good, Valerie was scared she'd end up at Hogwarts without knowing anyone.

Without realising she was doing it, Valerie whistled softly to herself as she went back to trying to find an empty compartment. Finally, she spotted one and turned to Minerva with a wide triumphant grin.

"AHA! Over there." Valerie pointed to the empty compartment and began to start the exhausting process of dragging her luggage once again.
