Middle of the Train
 

Not quite front, not quite back. Find a seat in the middle cars and be close to all the action.

Finally it was time to go home..or well in Nessie's case it was time to go to therapy. She didn't really want to go, but she knew she needed it she had too much of a bad temper, and she also wasn't coping with the loss of her best friend. She walked onto the train with Aya's, her owls cage in one hand and in the other was a bag full of left over sweets she had bought from Honeydukes. In his usual spot, Puffles sat on Nessie's shoulder as she walked. She looked for an empty compartment, having made the choice that she wanted to sit alone on the ride home. She had said goodbye to her friends at the feast, and she didn't want to have to deal with anymore goodbyes...not for now at least.

After a few full looking compartments, she spotted an empty one and walked in. It was perfect, it was quiet, peacful and exactly what she needed. She placed Aya on one of the seats by the window and then took a seat opposite her. She then lay her head against the window, and closed her eyes trying to catch up on the sleep she had missed from last night.

After loading all of his luggage onto the train, Jordan pulled his owl and bag up along the train. Seeing as the middle of the train was completely abandoned, he decided to set up there. He found a compartment big enough for everyone and waited.

For all! =)
 

Anna just dragged her things on the train and walked down the hall in search of her friends. The train was of little people and she decided to simply wait. She opened the door of the next compartment which was absolutely empty. Anna shrugged and decided that friends can be found later. She moved forward and sat down near the window. The weather was wonderful as her mood! How wonderful that very soon you will be pampered with a warm pastry over which so long labored mom and hot tea which is specially created for dad. She took a deep breath and smiled, took out the book from her bags. Anna was one of those who do not care what to read, but she always preferred to books on history. Here and this time she didn't change her preferences...

Jez had dragged her trunk as far as the front steps before realising that she was witch and just casting a Hover Charm on it. Unfortunately, her cat was not as easily dealt with. Rowena wouldn't go in her kitty carrier, but neither would she let Jez carry her. So Jez was reduced to tying a piece of string around Ro and dragging her along behind like a dog on a leash. Suffice to say, Ro wasn't happy with Jez, and Jez wasn't happy with Ro.
Jez opened a compartment door to find Jordan there. "Hey," she said, grinning. "Mind if I sit here?" Rowena peered sulkily around the door, and glowered at Jordan. Jez shot her cat a warning look. "Ignore the cat, she's grumpy today. But since when is she ever pleasant?"
"Around pleasant company," shot back Ro. Jez rolled her eyes.

Ryan loaded his Trunk then Put his Owl cage on the top of his Compartment.He sat down on the seat and waited for Chelsea to arrive.

As he moved in the train corridors, Josh seemed to be pretty thoughtful. Yes, his brain was busy with complicated thoughts that he could not figure and deal with. Moreover he was alone this time except the kitty he was carrying; Lock who had been a gift from Evelyn to him. He seemed to be peacefully sleeping so far. So, Josh was slow as he walked around to find a good enough compartment for himself in order not to disturb the kitty.

In a weird way, there all seemed to be younger students occupying the corridors and compartments. As a result it looked like finding a suitable compartment was going to be...

...aha! There was one!!!

Once he laid his dark brown eyes on the completely empty compartment which was also away from the younger people, Josh directly made his way towards it. Carefully taking the sleeping kitty in one arm, he slowly opened the door an slipped in. Then right after carefully placing Lock on one of the comfortable seats, he closed the door back and sat down himself right beside his cat.

Now to look for something to eat in the backpack.

Grinning at the happy image of an apple in his mind, the lion boy opened his back and started to dig in it to find something that he could enjoy.

Sigh. The school year was over and it was time to get back home. It had been such a great year. Walking through she was looking for a compartment when she saw Ryan. She opened the door and put her owl cage and her trunk over head. "Hey" she half smiled sitting down next to him.

Jordan smiled warmly at Jez, "Sure come on in," he said, regarding the blue spotted cat. "I take it that this is Rowena," he asked Jez, whilst countering the cats glare with one of his own. "Nice to meet you too," he said to the cat, "I'm Jordan." finding the sitaution strange, he was talking to a cat for heavens sake!

"I am Rowena," siad the cat in a high-and-mighty voice, leaping up onto the seat and curling up, her tail flicking.
"The one and only," sighed Jez, directing her trunk up to the overhead carrier, where it settled. She rubbed her arm and sat down opposite Jordan. "Sorry about her," she said, gesturing to her cat. "Ro's not good with train journeys, I had to tie her up."
"I'm not a dog!" exploded Ro, scratching at the string.
"You're not a human either, and yet you talk," retorted Jez. "Now shut up, before I stuff you in the kitty carrier." Ro opened her mouth, then shut it as Jez gave her a Death Glare. The cat turned away sulkily, staring out of the window, and the girl looked curiously at Jordan. "I hear something happened between you and Faina at the feast," she probed.

For anyone! :)
 

Sky walked down the corridor dragging her trunk behind her, her Pygmy Puff Cookie swaying on her shoulder, looking for an empty compartment. She was (mostly) happy with how her first year had gone. It was touch and go at the beginning, she'd managed to turn it around. She'd met some pretty cool people, did well in her classes, and even saw a baby elf! All in all, it had been a good year. But now, she was looking forward to going home and seeing her muggle friends. It had been awhile since she'd last seen them, plus her friend Megan had said she had something exciting to tell her. She pulled open the door to an empty compartment and stepped in. She put her trunk on the rack and waited to see who would join her.

Jordan smiled bemused at the confrontation between Jez and Rowena. A talking cat! Magic still continued to amaze him! He observed Rowena for a moment quietly, witha curious glint in his eyes.
Jordan smiled, Jez asked about the feast and Faina. He shrugged, "Umm, yeah." he said, "I told her how I felt about her, I've liked her for a while you see. And it turned out she liked me too and we kinda got together." he grinned happily.

Angelina didn't know were she could find her new friends at on the train or around the train station. Dragging her things onto the train she tried to looked for an empty compartment and her friends. Who knows where they are. For being a first year and only being on this train once she hoped she will get used to it very soon! Personaliy to Angelina she didn't like trains... they were to small.

Angelina decided to just give up and find someone place to sit. Hopefuly her friends would find her in a compartment she was in. Looking around Angelina found a compartment with some girl inside reading a book she took out of her bags. Angelina smiled at the girl and walked inside.

Shly Angelina asked, "Can I sit in here with you?"

The girl looked older then a first or second year, but to Angelina she looked nice. Maybe they had something in common or something to talk about. If would feel a bit akward to sit here for hours in silence. Maybe she could write a letter to her other friends back home, or read a book like the girl.

Alyssa silently crept into the compartment when she saw Nessie sitting alone inside it. She had her eyes, so she assumed that she was taking a nap. So Alyssa sat down quietly and kept her friend company.

"Great!" said Jez, grinning. "Wow, to think that all of this relationship drama needn't have happened!" She'd been right in front of Nate all year, after all, and Jordan had obviously been right in front of Faina ... "Are you going to see her in the holidays?" she asked. "What are you doing for the two months we have off, anyway? Jayden reckons we first-soon-to-become-second-years should go to Diagon Alley together, to get our school supplies. Pam, Nate and I will be in America most of the holidays, though." Jez was really excited about that - she'd never been to America before. She'd been all around Europe and Australia, and seen a little of Asia and Africa, but never America.

Anna lifted her large blue eyes from the book and smiled widely. "Sure come on in!" She was happy to spend the way home in the company. She set the book down and held out a hand for a handshake "My name is Anna Phoenix. I'm a fourth-year student at the Gryffindor."

Johnathan spotted an empty place to sit in and finally have hopes of going home. He organized all of his stuff and carry-ons.

He pulled out his headphones and turned on some music. He was somewhat surprised at the view he was looking at, for once. Since most of the time he falls asleep during transportational rides, that take up more than an hour.

"Thanks," Jordan smiled at Jez, "Without all of this drama, it wouldn't be a successful year at Hogwarts would it?" he laughed. "Yeah, we'll see eachother during the holidays hopefully, if not I'll write to her and the rest of you for that matter." he said. "I haven't got any plans to be honest, but I'd like to meet up before term starts with everyone else, that would be fun!" he grinned. "Oh yeah, I forgot you were spending the holidays with Nate and Pam! You'll have an amazing time in America!"

Angelina smiled at the girl. She walked in and sat her things down nearby. Angelina saw the girls hand out to shake. She grabbed the girls hand in shaked it while sauing, "It's nice to meet you Anna. I'm Angelina Andrews, I'm first year in Slytherin."

Pulling her trunk onto the train, the very last train that she would ever take from Hogwarts, Destiny took her time walking down the corridor. She didn't know what she was supposed to think now that she was DONE school, but she did know that she felt no different. The only thing she felt was hungry, and eat was what she was going to do as soon as she found a compartment.

She did manage to steal a bowlful of the potatoes from the end of term feast, and now that she was away from crying Carter, she'd be able to actually eat.

Her pace quickened as she spotted an empty compartment up ahead, but, thanks to her very big fluff ball of a cat, who at that time wanted to eat her pet rat, she missed her chance to steal it, and instead watched as Josh made his way inside. Well, since she had spotted it, and since Josh was her friend, she decided to join him. She was sure he would tell her if he wanted to be alone anyway.

Taking the last few steps towards the door, she slid it open and began to, very noisily pull her trunk inside. It didn't help that all her pets on top of her trunk began to make noises either. "Josh! I brought your cat a surprise."

She brought his father.

"Glad to meet you." Anna smiled again and looked out the window. It became so crowded there, the students were in a hurry to get on the train, joked, laughed, talked with friends, carefully borne their pets... Vanity... Anna looked again at her new companion. "It was a difficult year perhaps? Simply I still remember how many difficulties arise in the first year. Especially in Slytherin! Your faculty of the best this year, but this is not surprising. After all, there are always a lot of time was given to the study and success in all affairs." Anna said smiling at the girl.

"No it wasn't to difficult. what were the duffucult arsie in your first year?" Angelina never really talked to people at Hogwarts second year and above, so she really doesn't know what has been going on at Hogwarts since she came. "With our time abel to study alot we didn't too much." Angelina added.

Ohhhhh, lordy. Now, the Hogwarts Express was real cool and all, and the scenery outside was definitely worth watching stream by out the window, but when it came down to it, there there was only a certain amount of time that Paulie could sit still. His legs desperately needed to be stretched!

Hence, as the Gryffindor walked down the train corridor and into the middle section of the train, Paulie had to make a few exaggerated steps in order to stretch out his long limbs. In this process, however, he ended up accidentally kicking the bum of the guy right in front of him. Whoops! "Oh, sorry, mate!" Ei ei ei, of course something like this would happen.

Where was the apple? Where was the stupid apple?

Getting a little bit agressive as he was having great difficulty with finding the apple in his back pack, Josh started to dig deeper and deeper in it. C'moooooooon!!! There had to be an apple. He needed to find it!! But instead he could only find a few owl treats so far. And no...he was not going to eat any owl treats. Standing up, finally, he decided to take everything out the bag so he could see the apple however just when he was about to turn the bag upside down, the compartment door opening all in a sudden took all his attention.

Then his attention slowly experienced that the voice of the door opening was nothing compared to the noice the girl somehow managed to create as she tried to carry her heavy looking trunk in. ''Destiny'' he said as a greeting staring at the trunk and...all the noisy animals on it. ''You know what? Sometimes i happen to worry that you might try to take me as a pet too.'' Yeah. It surely looked like the girl liked to take every living thing she saw as a pet.

But...huh? She brought Lock a surprise?

''Lock is sleeping though and...'' he glanced at the kitten's direction. ''...nevermind.'' Who could sleep with those conditions anyway? So, he was just blinking around as it seemed. ''Drop it. I will deal with the trunk.''
