What was Jonathan going to do other than wait for the train to arrive anyway? He eyed his trunks... naaaah! He's not reading his new books. Although, truth be told he did have read the first chapter to his Potions books-- typical Jonathan as always. He told himself to just peeked at the chapters and yet he ended up reading one whole chapter before he slept last night.

Jonathan then stretched his hand and his feet when suddenly his vision got dark because someone just decided to put their hands over his eyes. At first, he thought probably someone who liked doing it..... He barely knew someone who liked doing that.

Small hands. He smirked, his hands flew over to Kurumi's hand even before she could say anything--- although, he could be wrong too. As soon as Kurumi spoke though, of course he knew he was right from the very beginning. "Nobi?" he joked around. He then slowly took her hands away from his eyes and finally saw her. "Did you come here alone?"

Logan nodded, smiling weakly. "I live with her." he said. "My parents died in a car wreck when I was little...and she was the only one who could take me in apparently." he said. Then he blinked. Was he really telling Lilly all this? Yes, he was.......! Why? He didn't know.

Harlow bounced through the barrier. She had grown a full quater of on inch over the summer and she was proud of her newfound height.

The world took on a new quality at this height, she thought to herself. And she had added a new color to her wardrobe. GREEN! Of course it was green, she is a Slytheirn after all. So the tiny second year skipped across the platform in her new sparkly green mary janes and her white robes. She was excited for the new term, and she wasn't as sad as she was last year when she went off to school.

"Mommy I wanna go," Persia whined as she held on to Harlow's hand.

Harlow smiled down at her little sister, "When you get your letter you can come with me." She bent down and swung her little sister up onto her hip. In theory a five year old would be too big to carry, but Persia was a Riddle and Riddle women tended to run on the smaller scale. Persia clung to her sisters neck as they walked through the throng of students on the platform. Their mother was pushing the trolley with Harlow's trunk, Legalos' cage, and Appa's pot. Harlow couldn't wait to introduce him to MoMo.

Adeline looked around. She was bored right now and she wanted/needed to meet new people. Now that she liked having friends she would like to have some more.

Adeline noticed a boy who looked to be a year or two older. He was all alone and she felt bad for him. She walked over to him ans gave him a friendly smile.

"H-hello." she stuttered. The American was doing that a lot lately. She didn't like to stutter and she never stuttered before so what was going on with her.

"I have never heard that from anyone else besides my sister,a model who tells literally everyone as a publicity stunt,"Cardigan said with a smile.She could practically hear Liesel saying to complete strangers,'You're very beautiful.Do you know what would make you even more beautiful?-'And then she'll just explain about whatever she's modeling/advertising.It gets annoying after 3 years.Cardigan was happy that someone appreciated her for who she was,or more so,actually like her at all."I know what you mean.I have a lot of dumpy relatives.I'm guessing she's related to you?"She asked Logan.She hated to say the wrong things,which usually lead to people thinking you're weird.She did not like to be classified as weird.

Harvey listened to girls talking and then Claudia said that she may teach the girls something.. "Well I dont mind as long as she sticks with me.. I dont mind.. Minnie knows that I dont mind if she changes.. as long as she still loves me and sticks with me.." he said looking at Minnie and chuckling "Nah I am only joking she dont HAVE to stick with me or love me.. I want her to do what her heart says" he said to no-one in particular.. even if she did leave him and not love him anymore she would still always be his girl... then he listened to Claudia talking to everyone and then he heard the sweetest voice ever.. Minnie's and all his attention went to her as he listened to her.. he then smiled shyly as she spoke of him being a Ravenclaw... well she knew him well to know that him being a Ravenclaw and her a Hufflepuff DID bother him a bit.. or wait he might have mentioned it to her before.. but he liked it that way.. it would make it more sweeter when they would meet again the next day.. anyways she needed some time away from him... she was allowed to be with other friends away from him.. she then hugged Ronnie as Ronnie came to say bye to everyone.. he wouldnt be happy to see her go but them being 12 or 13 year olds had no say in where they went. so he just smiled and listened as Minnie told her about Cody.. yes she could give her some advice.. maybe better than what he had told her before.. he smiled.. he then looked at Minnie.. and smiled..

Amethyst smiled wide and hugged Cody. "We are all friendly!" She giggled as she nodded softly. She turned to look at Cody. "If you ever need anything, you can always come to us."
Amethyst giggled. She liked Amy. It gave her 'color'. She smiled.
Amethyst sat back as Minerva talked to everyone. This year was going to be great, she just knew it. She was excited, however, she was scared at the same time.

Why hadn't anyone said that she was beautiful? She truly was. Then he smiled. "Yeah, sadly she is related to me." he said. "She's a real pain.." he said sighing. "My parents died in a car wreck when I was little, so she was the only one who could take me in." he said. This was the first person he ever told this to.
"Ronnie, it's time to go." Ronnie's mother's voice said behind her. "But I thought I was going to watch the train le-" Ronnie began, but her mother cut her off. "We have to leave now. The plane is going to leave sooner than we had planned." her mother said. Ronnie sighed. "See ya, guys. I'll owl you as soon as I get there..." she said nodding, and fighting back the tears that were itching to burst from her baby blue eyes. She left without another word, hug, or kiss because she couldn't take that anymore.

"That's horrible,"Cardigan said softly.She,for some odd reason,wished she was in that situation.One thing,her parents were psychotic monsters with malicious habits,treat children badly,and could make Voldemort quake in fear.Then,she could move in with her sister!What a life that would be!

[QUOTE=FireboltAvis88;10833380]

"Of course you can. I'd be honored to be your friend, Sky. We all will, right guys?," Claudia asked the rest of the group knowing that they would agree.



"Well I prefer to play Chaser or Beater. I used to play Seeker, but I tended to go after the opposing players than the Snitch, so it was 'suggested'," Claudia indicated raising both her index and middle fingers of both hands and bending them to suggest quotation marks, "that I switch positions. I know Alyssa played Beater was kinda surprised me because she's pretty fast on her Firebolt. But I heard that she really didn't try out during trials. So I guess she was still lucky to play in that position. I think that I'll try out for either Chaser or Beater during try outs. I met Keefer, the Hufflepuff Quidditch captain earlier and he seemed eager for me to try out too. As for being good, I'm sure that there will be others equally good who will be trying out. So I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens." Claudia told Justin."What about you? What position do you play?"she asked him.


" Well, I pacticed alot with keeper. I never actually played in a match. The one I was supposed to play ing I was supposed to play chaser. I'm pretty flexible in positions I like to play. I hope I make the team this year as well." Justin smiled.

" Good luck at Beauxbatons, Ronnie!! " Justin called out to her as she left quickly.
Justin smiled on as Ame talked with Minnie and Cody.

Minerva frowned when Ronnie turned and went. "Ronnie please owl us as soon as you get there. We will miss you." she called.

Claudia felt bad for Nessie. She knew how close she was with Alyssa. "I'm really sorry for giving you such bad news. I wish that Lyssie could have told you herself. She really feels bad about it. She and Aaron broke up during the Summer. She doesn't blame him because she now knows that he wasn't really ready to be in a relationship. Anyway, with that going on, she was kind of messed up and is now to embarrassed to go back to Hogwarts. I don't know whether you knew or not but Lyssie never felt like she fit in. There was a time that she actually asked to come home in the beginning of the year. Her friend Kita and Aaron convinced her to stay. But now that Kita's graduated and the thing with Aaron, she didn't think that she had a reason to. I don't know why she thought that when I now see that she had plenty of other friends like you, but right now I don't think Lyssie's thinking clearly. I know that I can never replace her but I hope that one day we can be friends too."Claudia tried to smile at Nessie. Lyssie really messed up and now she, Claudia, was going to have to pay for her mistake. There was no way in heck, that after Lyssie abandoned her best friends, that they would want to hang out with her.'Good one Lyssie. You sure made sure that I won't have any friends here, especially the nice ones like Nessie, Janice and Trish.' Claudia thought to herself feeling sad.

"Anyway I'll leave now. I know that right now I'm the last person you want to talk to". Claudia told Nessie. She really wanted to get to know Nessie but she knew that the chances of that happening now were very slim. She sighed as she turned to leave Nessie and turned back one more time to look back at the pretty girl with the sad smile.



"You're from Salem too? So was I. It's amazing that we never met until now. Glad to meet another fellow Salem alumni"Claudia grinned at Laura.

Claudia was glad that she had met Lyssie's friends. Minerva, Harvey, Amethst and Justin were really nice and she made it a point to hang out with them more. She was glad that she also got to meet Sky and Laura. She just wished that she could have gotten to know Nessie better too. Claudia sighed.

"Everyone, I'm going to take a walk. I'll be right back okay. If it's time to board could you save me a seat? That is if there's room. If not, I'll just find another compartment." Claudia told the group she was with.

As Claudia walked to clear her head and to try to shake of the sadness she felt after meeting Nessie, she came across two younger girls who were pushing their trolley. She overheard one of them saying that they didn't seem to know where to go.

[spoiler="Laura"] "Hi there. Do you need any help? I'm kinda new myself but I think once the train is ready to board, you can pick any compartment you want except for the Prefects. If you want I can help you load up on the train. My name's Claudia by the way but you can call me Cody. My twin sister, Alyssa was supposed to be coming back to Hogwarts this term but she's now changed her mind and now I have to go instead. I hope you dont mind me asking, but are you twins too?"Claudia asked the two girls.

As she waited for the girls to reply, she noticed another boy who seemed to be looking for someone.



"Hi there. You don't know me, but I noticed that you were looking for someone. I'm new myself but maybe I can help you find them. My name's Claudia by the way." Claudia smiled sticking out her hand to shake his.

Harvey watched at Ronnie left his arms and followed her mother.. while saying that she would owl them.. "Ok... we will wait for it!" he called back as he watched her leave until he could see her no more.. he then turned back to his friends and smiled a bit... he then looked at them.. yes he had these but he would miss Ronnie too.. he thought smiling..

The way Cardigan said that, her voice all soft-like, it really comforted Logan...he found it a bit strange. Then, he knew why it comforted him. He recognized the voice, the way the tone was so soft and soothing.
It was like his mother's.
He could barley remember it, but after Cardigan spoke like it, he remembered it so clearly. He eyed Cardigan up and down again before pulling her into a hug. He didn't really know why he hugged her, though. He just did.

[QUOTE=Devina Wellheart;10833914] Ronnie smiled as Justin called out with her. "THANKS!" she called back.

"I will!" Ronnie said loudly as they got farther away. She walked (her bright orange hair bouncing behind her) and turned her head to look at her friends until they were out of sight.

"Ok Claudia have fun on your walk and don't worry if your not back there is always room for you." Minerva smiled. She then turned to the rest of the group. Leaning on Harvey it had been a long day. With Edward and her family still on the back of her mind and then meeting new people she yawned. "When do you think it will be time to leave? Justin where did your mom and Kyle run off too." She looked over Justin and Ame wondering.

Harvey felt Minnie lean on him he looked at her and smiled.. he then looked around looking for any suspicious characters... he had gotten used to doing that since Edward had turned up.. and Harvey knew that he would have to stop doing that or Minnie wont feel relaxed and calm the way she should.. but he knew that until they get on the train.. he would have to secretly look around without Minnie knowing.. he then heard her yawn and ask when it would be time to leave and asked where Kyle and Ms Divinity had gone "Are you going to sleep on the train Mins? You can if you want to .. these past days must have drained you.." he said smiling.. he knew that being on the run and worrying all the time can drain you of your energy..

" I think they are tracking Edward. Making sure he doesn't find your family. You didn't know that Edward is after Ame as well. Ame dosn't know about that. Please don't tell her. I only know this because I could read her father's thoughts. " Justin whispered as he was leaning down to her. " So, don't worry. Your family will be kept safe. "

Minerva looked at Harvey and smiled. "Oh I don't know depends on how interesting our group is I guess." with this group it was always interesting. Then Justin said something that made Minerva jump up and turn straight to him. "What do you mean he is after her too? What do you mean they went tracking they could get hurt? Are you serious? Why am I going to be safe when all my loved ones and now my new loved ones are in danger. It just doesn't seem right. I wish I would have never left that stupid house." She started pacing back and forth trying to get her head wrapped around what was going on.

Harvey heard Justin whisper to Minnie. He didnt want to intrude but he made out some words and got an idea of what Justin was saying.. he couldnt believe that this Edward wanted two 12 year old girls.. why did they want the both of them?! what would they do with two 12 year old girls.. and he was happy to know that Minnie's family will be safe as that would mean that she could study in peace without having to worry about her family.. he smiled at this thought as he DID promise her mother that he would make sure that she studied..

" Min! Settle down. Edwar is working for Ame's mum too. He's working for those muggles who snatched you and Ame's Mum. So, Chaos , Kyle are tracking him While my mother is protecting Your family. " said Justin " Well, you might as well come on over and join the conversation. " Justin said to Harvey as he noticed him honing in on their whispering.

Harvey felt awkward when Justin told him to come and join them.. so he did.. he went and sat down "Mins please sit down.." he said to her.. he didnt say anything else not wanting to upset her.. anymore than she was.. he watched her.. as well as keeping his eyes and ears open for suspicious activity.. gosh he HAD to stop that!!

"I'm not calming down. This is ridiculous if I would have just stayed in the stupid room and ...." she looked at her friends no they didn't need to know the rest. "If I would have just stayed then maybe none of this would have happened."

Oh..Nessie took that as a bit of a shock."Either way you look lovely." She grinned as the prefect played with the ruffles on her skirt. She could also tell that Kurumi was in a much happier space, now that she was with Jontyy which was of course a good thing. Meh..heels were hard to walk in, so Ness didn't blame Kurumi for struggling in them. "You'll get there eventually, practise makes perfect." she smiled again. Now that she thought it, she had actually been smiling quite a lot today, which was supposed to be a good thing right?

Aya wouldn't bite Kurumi would she? Ness kept a close eye on the owl afraid she'd strike at any moment, but at least according to Kurumi if Aya did bite her it wouldn't be her first time. Dr. Dolittle? She giggled and of course she knew who she was. Luckily her mother was muggleborn, and she had a lot of muggle knowledge. "I can simply understand why they'd call you Dr. Dolittle." she said with a little snort.

Wait what? Kurumi was leaving. Nessie turned to Lyssie's twin and then she looked back at Kurumi. Nessie smiled at Kurumi once more. "Its nice to be back, with my big sissie." she giggled. Kurumi was the best Prefect/Gryffindor/Big Sister there was. With that Ness nodded to answer Kurumi's question. She wouldn't sit alone on the train this time, she didn't want to. She'd mingle with people. As Kurumi left, Nessie turned back to Claudia.


This was all just so much information to absorb all at once. And wait WHAT? Aaron and Lyssie broke up? *gasp* Since WHEN? This was all so crazy. Why? Why would such a perfect couple break up? It was just madness. "Ican'tbelievetheybrokeup." was all Nessie was able to mumble, she was in just too much shock. It couldn't be. She wouldn't believe it. She was utterly stunned and no matter how much she tried to respond to the girl nothing else would come out of her mouth. She wanted to ask Claudia all sorts of questions, but it just wasn't happening.

"I...erm...I dont...know..what..to ..um...say." she said slowly, but she was glad some words came out. Now that she could talk, she prepeared herself to ask all her questions, but before she could speak again the girl had dissapeared. Where did she go? Ness took a quick scan with her eyes but couldn't see the girl, instead she saw another familiar face. It was Oakey.



Still in shock, Nessie slowly took her luggage and walked over to Oakey. Her owl Aya was already hooting again, but she didn't care. She couldn't get what she had just heard off her mind. There was so much to think about. Like why did would Lyssie break up with Aaron? And why wouldn't Lyssie come back. It all hit her like a bomb. It was too much for her to handle. She instantly regretted coming back now, but hopefully she wouldn't regret her choice much longer. She fought back the tears, she didn't need them now. It wasn't even her first day yet, and there was drama she had to deal with. She really hated her life, but today she would be strong and so she kept a small and a little bit fake smile on her face.

When Ness reached Oakey, she didn't even greet him. She just put her luggage on the ground and gave him a big hug. It wasn't a happy sort of hug. It was a hug she needed, so she would feel okay or at least a little better. He'd understand right? He wouldn't act all weird cause she was hugging him..or would he? She hopped not, but she didn't really care. All she needed right now was a hug.

Claudia was walking staring at the big train in front of her when someone tapped her on the shoulder. She turned around and saw.....LYSSIE!! "What the heck are you doing here? I thought you decided to stay in Salem. Have you changed your mind because believe me when I tell you, I don't think that I'll fit in here. And you know what, you may not know it but you are one lucky person. You actually have friends who are already missing you. So are you staying or not?"Claudia asked her twin.

Alyssa smiled back her twin. "I'm so so sorry for what I put you through. I've been OWLs from a whole bunch of friends here, pleading with me to come back. I didn't even know that they would actually miss me. So yes, I'm coming back if it's okay with you. I have my clothes with me and my Firebolt. The books and all the other stuff we can transfer over to me. Mom and Dad are waiting outside the station to take you home. Are you okay with that?"Alyssa asked Cody.

"Am I okay with that? Heck yeah. You take care of yourself okay." Claudine hugged her twin. Then she quickly opened up her trunk and handed over all the books and school stuff that Alyssa would need. "Okay girl, I'm off. You have a great bunch of friends. Please say goodbye for me okay.

...and with that Claudine was running back and through the wall. Alyssa looked around her and smiled. It was good to be back here on the platform. Her first mission was to find Nessie.

....and then she saw her. She was hugging a boy. 'Cool,'Alyssa thought to herself. 'Nessie's got herself a boyfriend now. I'm so happy for her.'



"Uh! I'm really sorry for interrupting but do you happen to have a hug for me too, Nessie." Alyssa grinned at her best friend.




'Uh excuse me everyone but do you happen to know whether I might find my friends. I seemed to have misplaced them and I have missed them so much."Alyssa grinned at Amethyst, Minerva, Justin and Harvey and two other girls she had never met.

Justin Put his hand on Harvey's shoulder as he join them. " No worries , Mate. Just as well have yo in on the conversation. Minnie is , afterall, your girlfriend. " he smiled.
" Ya can't think like that. Merlin only knows what they could've done to you... or your family. You were very smart an very brave to take that opportunity that woman gave you. Nowwe all have the chance to capture these evil people, muggle military included. You've got to have faith in my family, Minerva. " Justin said.
