After a long time Minerva came back followed by Harvey her eyes were red, but she tried to act like nothing was wrong. 'Hey guys sorry about that just needed to take a bit of a walk."

Harvey followed Minnie back inside still keeping an eye out for characters... he then heard her say that she needed a walk... he didnt reveal why she went there or it would create a scene and Minnie didnt need all the attention it would bring.. so he nodded and agreed with what she said..

It's nice to meet you too Adeline Holiday Oakey said still with his tendency to call everyone by how they introduce themselves. I'm a third year Huffie She was a first year so he might be able to help her out if she needed to find her way around Hogwarts. Hopefully things haven't moved around to much.



Oakey was glad to see Renesmee smile, and glad to see she has made more friends while he was gone. Hi Lyssie, I'm Oakey. But I guess you were just told that. He put his arm out to shake her hand. What Nessie didn't know was he didn't really go to Salem, that Harvey had him trained in withholdig his bad luck even more after the Mackled Malaclaw bit him. Oh, Um! Oakey hesitated after what Lyssie just said. you must of saw me earlier on the platform, must of been it yeah, yeah. Oakey tried his hardest to hide this. Why didn't Harvey teach him to lie better.

Christopher weaved in and out of the hundreds of students running about, on a mission. He'd somehow lost Selina in the midst of all of the chaos of the crowded station, and he was determined to find her. His throat was pretty sore from screaming her name, but he had long quit that. It was no use, the station was too noisy, and his calls were just drowned by the rest of the yelling and shouting and laughing. Pushing his owl and trunk on the cart frantically, he was getting irritated that he couldn't find her. Where the heck could she even be!?

But when he stood on tip toes to try to see further ahead, he noticed fiery red hair bobbing up and down with the crowd. Finally! It was Selina! How did he know that? Well, even though there were plenty of redheads at the school, no one's hair could even compare to Selina's. Chuckling at the thought, he quickly pushed through the crowd, apologizing to everyone whose toes he stepped on or accidentally pushed.

Finally, once he made his way to the front, near to his sister, the Gryffindor tapped her on the shoulder and said with a rather relieved grin, "Geez, Sel! I've been looking everywhere for you!"

Logan felt real stupid. He was really stupid. He sighed. "I didn't say anything." he mumbled looking at the ground, his face red. He had gotten into that daze thing, where his mind wasn't working and his mouth was just moving. He noticed her backing away and he gave a slight nod. "Right...er..." he looked around him. Peeta was gone, perfect excuse to leave. "I gotta go find my uh....cat.." he said quickly walking off to the south end of the platform.

"Yeah I guess you must have seen me on the platform. I was there with my twin, Claudia saying goodbye to each other." Alyssa smiled back at him. She thought that he was acting a little bit strangely but maybe that was because he was shy and didn't know her yet. She decided that she would give him a break. He seemed like a nice guy anyway.

Selina weaved her way in and out of the crowd as she walked through the Platform. There was something lovely about the sight of the train in the station and the smell of the engine. It reminded her that school was coming back around and she lived for school. She loved it and missed school when it was away. Sure, seeing her family for holiday was great but her life was at school, her friends were there, everything besides her family was there.

Then she heard a voice yell to her and she turned around to see Christopher standing there calling after her. She smiled at him and said, "Oi no need to yell, I'm right here. What are you on about?"

Annie could be called a professional wanderer. She was brilliant at it. Heck, if they had wandering competitions or tournaments, she would most definitely take some titles. As per usual, the girl had been wandering the platform, putting off having to find a compartment or finding some friends. Pssht, she was far too lazy for that. Brushing back a strand of her not-done-very-well hair, Annie paused and glanced at the mess of people. People-watching was always a fascinating, if not slightly creepy, hobby which she'd always enjoyed.

Just as she turned around to catch a second glance at a wonderfully odd looking old man and his impressive mustache, Annie felt an impact- and BAM. She was on the ground. Wearily, she glanced up at the guilty party. Evidently, someone had lost control of their trolley and she had fallen pray. Though Annie was about to mutter a few choice words on the subject, she stopped at the almost comically guilty look on the dude's face. Chuckling slightly, she took the hand trolley-boy (scratch that, Christopher) offered and dusted herself off. "That's quite alright, I'm Annie."

Wait... had he been yelling? Oh, he must not have gotten used to regular talking, rather than screaming over the sound of friends reuniting and laughing. Rubbing the back of his head, rather embarrassed, he said much more quietly, "Oh.. right.. erm, sorry. It's just really loud over there." He nodded back towards the gigantic crowd. He was very thankful for the area they were in now. It was less packed, more room to talk. Everyone was spread out, and he didn't feel so squished at the moment.

Thinking back to when the younger girl had just suddenly vanished, he couldn't help but feel curious. "Anyway, where had you run off to? It seemed that we were all standing by the entrance to this platform, and the next thing I know, POOF!" Christopher made an explosion-type gesture with his hands, "You were gone!"


When the girl he'd accidentally knocked over being laughing, Christopher found himself highly confused. She was laughing? What? Well that didn't make a bit of sense to him at all. Maybe she was just a nutter, but of course he refrained from thinking these thoughts aloud. How rude what that be!? Well, she seemed to be just fine as she dusted herself off, which made him feel a teeny, tiny less guilty than he had been about forty seconds ago.

When the weird girl Annie introduced herself, he gave her an apologetic smile and held out his hand to shake hers. Might as well be polite, he didn't need any enemies this year. Not that he'd had any before, he just wanted to study hard for OWLS. Any distraction could have a really bad effect. "I'd say nice to meet you, Annie... but, well... I sort of pushed you over. That's not exactly nice," he rambled on, being all awkward. The usual.

She raised her eyebrow at her brother and nodded unamused, "Yeah well tell that to my ear drum. I swear you yelled right into it." Although the platform was sort of noisey. It seemed like everyone was trying to say goodbye to their families and friends, but people did not need to yell, Merlin. If she wanted someone to yell at her she would go to a flying lesson and let Vindictus do that. She just wanted to say goodbye to people in peace. But she could not blame Christopher, he was merely a victim of his circumstances.

Where had she run off to? She tucked a stray strand of red hair behind her ear and said, Well you lot were slow. I wasn't just going to wait around for you all day." She muttered the next bit under her breath, "Besides I saw someone I wanted to say hello to..."

Adrianna skipped through the platform, her soprano voice singing a quite cheerful tune:

"Underneath these stairs
I hear the sneers and feel the glares of
my cousin, my uncle and my aunt.

Can't believe how cruel they are
and it stings my lighting scar
to know they'll never ever give me what I want.

And I know I don't deserve these
stupid rules made by the Dursleys
here on Privet drive.

Can't take all of these muggles,
But despite all of my struggles,
I'm still alive.

I'm sick of summer and this waiting around.
Man, it's September, and I'm skipping this town
Hey i'ts no mystery, there's nothing here for me now

I gotta get back to Hogwarts,
I gotta get back to school.
I gotta get myself to Hogwarts,
where everybody knows I'm cool.

Back to witches and wizards, and magical beasts,
to goblins and ghosts and to magical feasts.
Its all that I love, and it's all that I need.
AT HOGWARTS, HOGWARTS, I think I'm going back---

I'll see my friends, gonna laugh 'til we cry
take my Firebolt, gonna take to the sky
NO WAY this year anyone's gonna die, and it's gonna be
totally awesome

I'll cast some spells, with a flick of my wand
defeat the dark arts, yeah bring it on!
and do it all with my best friend Ron, 'cuz together
we're totally awesome

yeah, 'cause together we're totally awesome!

It's been so long, but we're going back
don't go for work, don't go there for class

... and its gonna be totally awesome!
This year we'll take everybody by storm,
stay up all night, sneak out of our dorm

We're sick of summer and this waiting around
it's like we're sitting in the lost and found
don't take no sorcery
for anyone to see how...

we gotta get back to hogwarts
we gotta get back to school
we gotta get back to hogwarts
where everything is magic-cooooool

back to witches and wizards, and magical beasts
to goblins and ghosts and to magical feasts
it's all that I love, and it's all that I need at
HOGWARTS, HOGWARTS
HOGWARTS, HOGWARTS"

She was happy to go back for her fifth year. Except for the fact that she had OWLs this year.

"Yeah... sorry about that...." he continued rubbing the back of his head, another thing he did when he felt awkward. Which was a lot. But hey, that was Christopher for you! With a grin, he joked and spoke to her ear, "Sorry, eardrum. I'll try to be more quiet next time."

When Selina called them slow, Christopher rolled his eyes and chuckled. "Sorry we're not all running at top speed to the trains!" They were excited, but not as much as Selina was. It was almost frightening how anxious she was to get back, he thought she might trample some people to get there quickly enough.

Oh... What was this? Selina speaking of a mysterious someone AND tucking her hair behind her ear? Oh this was great! Gideon. She always tucked her hair behind her ear and muttered and blush when his name came up. Hopefully he hadn't been so bad when he used to be with Violet, but he had probably just been worse. Casting her an amused face and a smirk, Christopher made sure she knew that he understood exactly who she was talking about. "Wow... I wonder who that could be!" he teased, still smirking at her.

Selina squirmed when he whispered in her ear. His hot breath in her earlobe was not exactly a comfortable feeling. She swatted him away and said, "Ugh don't do that. You know I hate that." It was all warm and gross in her ear and make her skin crawl. Nothing was more uncomfortable the people whispering directly in your ear.

And she rolled his eyes when he compared her to a train, "The difference between myself and you Christopher is that I am not slowpoke Sebastian." That was an actual name right? Ah well, even if it wasn't it was now, " I have a prerogative and want to get back to school so excuse me." She restrained herself from adding on It's not like all of us have the amazing summer at Cass' house like you did. That would have just been rude and she was in too good of a mood to get involved in THAT conversation.

She had to restrain herself from smacking that stupid smirk off of her brother's face. So what the person that she had gone to see was her boyfriend. It was not that she had really seen him at all the duration of that summer. And she was not one of those overly girly and gushy girls, so he was acting like she was some hopeless romantic when it came to Gideon. Quite the opposite. Although they did have some nice quiet moments the majority of their relationship was handled in a very teasing and competitive nature. "Oh shut it," she muttered, "or I'll shut it for you."

Nate is getting so excited sice it is almost time for him to go to hogwarts. He just can't wait.

Wait... what? "Slowpoke Sebastian....?" Selina had said some pretty silly things, but this might have been one of the single most ridiculous things he'd heard come from her mouth in quite some time. Trying not to laugh, he bit his lip and began shaking from his laughter a bit. "Did you seriously just say Slowpoke Sebastian?" That was too funny to him for some reason. Once he managed to quit laughing so much, he moved on. "Right. Well, just because I'm not Gryffindor's new Quidditch Captain, that doesn't mean I'm not ready to go back. Hogwarts is my home after all."

And just as Christopher thought he was done laughing, he couldn't help but snicker at Selina's comment. Sure she wasn't some giddy, lovesick school girl, he knew she was far from that. He knew she and Gideon were more based on friendship than being all mushy and romantic; that was quite clear for everyone to see. But making fun of his little sister was an opportunity he just could not pass up. With a final snort, Christopher teased, "Yeah, okay.... Mrs. Gert..." Teasing Selina was such great fun!

Lilly turned round. Smartie had wondered off. Stupid kitten. She spotted him next to a ickle little firstie. 'Sorry,' she apologised to the little boy. 'First-year, huh? Bet you're excited.'

"Yes it is my first year and it probally smelled my cat." He says while pointing to his cat.

Laura smiled at Lana, she was sure she was thinking about something but what she couldn't decided but she was sure she was involved somewhere, well she would make Lana laugh and forget about things. "Mummy, Daddy do you think they would let me drive the train?" Well it was big but if it was as friendly as Thomas was then surely it would help her and it would be easy to drive.

Laura looked around the place there was like millions of people hanging around. "How are we all going to fit onto the train?" She wasn't sure if the train would be big enough for everyone but even though it was big there should be more trains so they all could get to this Hogwarts place.

Laura gave Lana a big hug. "I'm glad." She smiled, "And I'm sure you'll make loads of friends soon, I'll introduce you too Damon next time I see him that way he can be your friend too." Laura said as she kept hold of Lana's hand.

After walking through the wall Josh pushed his trolley towards the North end of the platform looking for Rose. He had beenhard to find sinc e the middle of summer. He went back to Bulgaria to finalize his parents estate. He hoped that she had waited for him.

Selina had to double check that she had really called him slowpoke Sebastian before she affirmed for him that she had really just said that. True, it was not one of the more clever things she had ever said, but still she had said it with some kind of fervor in her voice so it had to count for something. As soon as Christopher started to laugh at her nickname for him she let loose a grin and laughed with him. She had to admit, what she had said bordered on the absurd and that much was a hundred percent positive. Why had she even said that?

When the laughter died down she chuckled short of breath, "Yes I did call you that, slowpoke Sebastian. I think that I will be calling you that for a while." Yep, she settled on that. New nickname? She thought so.

Then her blood boiled. Did he seriously JUST call her that? Besides the fact that her face was most likely the color of a freshly ripe tomato, she was in shell shock. Never in her life had anyone ever referred to her as that and not only was it wildly embarrassing but it was annoying. Leave it to Christopher to elevate things. Her mind was swimming with a millions thoughts but the only thing she could make out in her mind was the single, coherent though to lunge at him... so she did.

Laughing again, this time with her, Christopher grinned. "Slowpoke Sebastian. Well, it's certainly an interesting nickname. I guess I'll just have to learn to love it!" The thing was, even though he was joking, they were also both so serious about it! There was not a single doubt in his mind that Selina would be calling him slowpoke Sebastian for at least a few months, and he had no doubt that he'd have to get used to it.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, Christopher felt a force push into him, causing him to stumble backwards. It seemed that Selina had been shoved into him by someone hurriedly passing and accidentally knocked her over. "Ow, Selina, are you okay? What happened?" he asked, not suspecting that she had purposefully lunged at him. He could be pretty naive sometimes.

Rose saw Josh and grinned, walking up to him. She felt a little awkward, having not seen him, but it was fine. 'Hai!' she said, smiling nervously.

"Interesting? Its brilliant. It is actual beautiful. You cannot appreciate the beauty of it. Its like Disneyworld." Perhaps her analogy had been taken a tad too far, but she had to be honest it was an amazing nickname. Also one that fit Christopher very well if she had to say so herself, which she did.

When she lunged at him she came up a little short! MERLIN HER HEIGHT! Why was she cursed to be tiny when Christopher was all tall and such. He was nearly six feet now and she just broke the five feet mark. She was smaller than Kurumi which was saying something. Now that she was getting older the whole height thing was starting to bother her... maybe she could wear heels all the time.. no she liked sneakers.

So she settled for just smacking him in the chest, "I didn't fall. I was lunging for you, but you are TOO BLOODY TALL. Don't call me that. I'm not..." she flushed, "Just don't call me that!"

''No.''Hes aid frowning.''But I'll think for you.''He said smiling.

''Hi.''He said smiling.''I've been terrific.''He said smiling.''And you.''He asked.He looked over at the First Year''I'm Ryan by the Way.''

"SO beautiful!" he agreed with a laugh. "Like Disneyworld? More like a million times BETTER!" He'd never been to Disneyworld, living with wizards now, but they could never afford it when he lived with his Muggle parents, let alone airplane tickets all the way to the States, or France. But the nickname must've been bloody amazing if she was seriously comparing the two.

Christopher laughed when she told him why she fell.... lunged. "I won't, I won't! I promise!" Perhaps for now he'd leave the boyfriend topic alone... but not the height topic. "So.. how tall are you now? 4'2", 4'3"....?" he joked, ruffling her bright hair. She really must've tried to get made of by him... it was too easy! Even though she usually found a good way to seek revenge later. He thought it was totally worth it.
