Harvey looked at her when she spoke to him "I know he has gone.. but I still dont feel comfortable leaving you on your own until we get on that train" he said pointing at it.. she then talked of a wrong decision.. "What decision?" he asked.. knowing it was either them as a couple.. fudge he spoke too soon on that couple thing.. OR it was coming back to Hogwarts.. either way he wasnt going to like it.. he looked at her.. wondering her answer..

Minerva looked at him a little dumb founded. "What decision do you think. I should have never come here. My parents are in danger now and I am safe. If I would have just stayed away he would have been still looking for me not my mom, not my family"

Harvey didnt know what to say.. either way one or the other was in danger.. oh no what had he done?! just to keep Mins with him... had he put her mom in danger.. he put his head in his hands "Yes maybe we both made the wrong decision.." he said.. he then looked at her.. not happy.. well duh!! of course not.. her family was now in danger what do you expect her to do? a dance?!! he continued looking at her before looking back the train.. "I am sorry .." he said as he looked at the train..

Minerva took a deep breath. "I will owl her as soon as we get to school and warn her. I will owl my grandfather as well. Harvey I never told you this, but my grandparents are pretty successful wizards here. My grandfather is a retired Auror and a good one at that. He will no what to do." She put her arms around him and snuggled up against him. Part of her wanted some alone time the other part wanted to cling to someone for comfort. She decided on the comfort..

Harvey listened to her... he looked at her when she revealed what her grandfather was.. an Auror?! wow! "Yes I guess he will" he said as she snuggled upto him sending butterflies to rage through his stomach.. he held onto her real close.. he was not going to lose her.. he loved her far too much.. "You can owl her now if you want.. you can use Frost.. " he said without thinking about what he was saying he was too busy concentrating on the girl next to him to realise what he had said..

Minerva perked up a bit "Yes please, do you think he could do two at once? If I would give him both letters could he take one to grand dad and one to mom?" That made Minerva remember she never asked her mom for a kitten over the summer to take to school or to see if she could bring her small dog. Oh well maybe next year..

Harvey was happy to see her perk up a bit.. but the how to get Frost here.. without leaving Minnie on her own.. but he had no choice so he removed himself from her clutches.. and looked at her.. "Yes he can do two.. anything for you.. but I have to go get him.. dont move from here and dont talk to anyone.." he said as he kissed her forehead.. before running to go get Frost

5 minutes later

He then rushed back breathlessly with Frost in once hand and two parchments, 1 quill and ink pot in the other. He then sat down next to Minnie who thankfully was still there.. he handed her two pieces of parchment, quill and ink pot and let her get down to writing the letters before he let Frost out.. he fed Frost some treats from his pocket.. as he waited for the letters..

Minerva smiled at Frost. She couldn't wait to see midnight again she missed that school owl. Minerva gave Harvey a kiss "Thank you" she said before beginning to write the first letter to her mother. She warned her that Edward was now searching for them and that he knew she was the wizard. Then she started writing the other. This one was a little more difficult. She didn't know how much he knew of her kidnapping. She was suppose to spend time with them this summer and that didn't happen. So she decided to write everything. She started from the beginning and told them the entire story in her letter. Once she was done she folded both the letters and handed them to Harvey. "Here they are, thank you for letting me do this. I thought about asking mom is I could bring snowy some how or if I could buy a kitten, but I decided not to." She thought for a second and then took the letter to her mom back opening it up. She wrote at the bottom in big letters "WHERE ARE MY DOGS??" then she folded up the letter again and handed it back to Harvey.

Harvey smiled as she kissed him.. and then she proceeded to write her letters.. all the while he was just staring at her... once she was done... which was a while she handed the letters to him as she thanked him "Anything for you sweets." she then talked of having her own pet.. when she took one letter and wrote in big letters on it.. and handing it back to him.. he didnt ask what she wrote in BIG letters.. he then took Frost out of his cage and tied both letters to him.. before letting Frost stretch those wings ready for flight.. "One letter to her mom.. and one to her Grandfather you got it?" he asked Frost who seemed to hoot a yes.. Harvey nodded to Frost who then flew away to deliver the letters.. "There you go they will be informed way before you get to school now.. " he said to her smiling.. as he carefully put the ink pot into his pocket.. and the quill he held onto..

Ew, cheerful mom + cheerful Presley = a VERY UNCHEERFUL Elliot. Yuck! "Stop sucking up to my mother. It's absolutely appalling." Ew again.

"Good, glad you like, Miss Black. I decided a girl of such noble blood such as yourself deserved something very special to wear to show off her prestige...and they're lacy. Father had them specially made by a friend of his in Sweden..." she said, her face alight at the thought of her father actually doing something that she had requested. it was rare, but he had pulled through this time!

Speaking of her dad.."Oh, Presley, did you see him? he actually came to see me off...I was surprised. I think he's rather warmed up to the idea of having a Ravenclaw in the family," she said proudly, smirking haughtily. She just hated how he never actually listened to a word she said. She had asked him to write to her, and he probably wouldn't. "Leo came to see you off...how nice of him!" But Elliot felt bad that the girl's father hadn't come to see her off. Elliot was glad that Darius at least had taken the time away from his 'very busy schedule.'

She decided not to include the bit about her father being absolutely FURIOUS about the trip. She had thoroughly enjoyed herself, and she wouldn't mind traveling with Presley again. Sure, they butted heads, and Elliot grew increasingly more cocky and confident around Presley(Presley always seemed to get annoyed about this) but they were friends. it was all good.

oh...was she okay? Elliot had to think about this. She was having these very conflicted feelings right not. She was VERY HAPPY about her father coming to see her off...he had kissed her! and he had told her she hadn't yet let him down..BUT. He hadn't really listened to word she had said, and he had disapparated before Elliot had told him goodbye properly. It made her feel a little bad. But she would NEVER EVER admit this out loud, and she was even having a hard time admit this to herself. Darius Morganzo was perfect; he did nothing wrong. If he didn't pay attention to Elliot, she must deserve it for some reason..right? it must have been the trip to Egypt..hmm..well...

Elliot merely rolled her eyes at Presley's question.
"I'm fine. Ready to back at school. Hogwart's has missed her most brilliant student..." she replied with a smirk. She slung her luggage over her shoulder and raised her eyebrows at Presley. Elliot's air of superiority, cockiness, sarcasm, and basically her old self was back. Only Darius had the ability to unnerve her.

Minerva sighed "I wish I could have seen my dogs before leaving. I don't know where they are. I really hope they are safe and still with my family." She thought about her dogs. "I remember one day I was in a pet store while in hiding and there were these cute little puff things. I wanted to get one so bad, but didn't know where I would be day to day or if I could have fed it so I didn't get one. I miss having a pet of my own and I said last term I was going to see about getting a kitten. I won't get an owl because of Midnight, but a kitten would be fun. Oh well to late now." She was talking to Harvey because he was there ,but she was more rambling to herself then actually talking to Harvey. She then realized, "Oh I'm sorry Harvey." She smiled and blushed a bit.

It didn't matter they were in a public place...shoot Gideon had given up on privacy. Any time spent with his friend, girlfriend and stranger was a good time even surrounded by the noise and rush of all the students and their families preparing for the journey to school.

Please dont take this moment to appear... he silent wished of his own family. The boy wanting this minute or few without the bother of onlookers.

Gideon freed her hands as she slipped them away, watching her movements and wondering what was up next. He relaxed though as Selina wound up hugging him, the boy returning it in kind. "And I ye," he replied in agreement before chuckling. "For certain they're not...instead quite bothersome to deal with when you dont want to, especially with the house all a flutter with Kacie getting ready. I swear she's been asking a million questions to prepare herself."

Harvey listened to Minnie interested in what she was saying.. anything she said would have been interesting. she then said that she was sorry... Harvey was a little shocked "Why do you have to be sorry? I mean all that you said was true... you have no means to look after a pet while in hiding.. so why are you being sorry.. it was nice to hear you say this." he said knowing what present to get her next but he didnt show that he was going to her a present.. he just smiled..

"Well because I was rambling. I tend to do that when I have thoughts going through my head." She blushed a bit. "People walking down the street while I was in hiding probably thought I was mad." She remembered walking and talking to herself about her friends then looking up and realizing a muggle was starring at her very concerned. "I'm sure they thought I broke out of a psych ward or something."

Claudia smiled when she saw Alec having fun and chatting with another girl. He definitely didn't have problems finding friends. Claudia didn't think she had either but right now she was feeling awkward. 'This can't be right. I never have problems making friends,'she thought to herself. But Claudia was beginning to realize that that was the exact problem she was facing now.

She sighed and just sat on her bags and waited until it was time to board the train.

Minerva was looking around and saw Claudia sitting alone. "Claudia would you like to sit with us?" She smiled and made room on the bench. "So are you excited to come to Hogwarts? Where had you been going before coming here?"

When he hugged her back, which she could tell caught him a bit by surprise, she smiled. Of all the things that she missed most about seeing Gideon it was just getting to be near him. True, they fought and teased each other mercilessly, but that was the kind of friends and couple they were. There were moments like now where everything could just be quiet and they could talk and be calm. It was actually a magic that Gideon had about him; he could sort of calm Selina down and put her in one place at a time.

At the mention of Kacie, Selina grinned broadly. She liked Kacie Gert a lot. Although the younger girl was extremely excitable she was fun and they both shared a common interest- giving nicknames to Gideon. Once she heard the younger girl call Gideon “Giddy” she was sold. Not only did Kacie have her respect but she also gave Selina a new nickname for Gideon that she would no doubt pull out at the opportune moment.

“She’s just excited, is all,” Selina reasoned, “Besides I like Kacie a lot. She just wants to be prepared.” She wrinkled her nose a bit before continuing, “You and her have that in common… Giddy.” She chuckled.

Jake Skylar was starting to get really annoyed. Selina had just run off from the group after they had gotten through the barrier. He did not mind her going off to see her friends, but Sophie was now chewing his ears off because she wanted a proper goodbye. Obviously his wife could not have that if his daughter was off dong whatever it was that Selina’s did.

Finally he spotted a blob of red hair in the midst of the crowd. He smiled and made his way over to Selina. He saw her stop her cart and he suddenly got very confused. Then all of his questions were answered when he saw her go up behind the boy and give him a hug from behind. It was an awkward intimate moment that he felt no father should have to watch but he could not peal his eyes away. He wanted to make sure that nothing funny happened on his watch. Then the boy turned around and Jake felt inclined to turn away. If any funny business was going to happen he did not want to watch it happen. That was just too weird for him, but when he peaked back they were hugging.

That sight sent his legs moving. He felt like he could now walk into the conversation that most of the intimate stuff was over. He knew he should have interrupted earlier but honestly he was too embarrassed to do so then.

He came to a complete stop when he was only a few meters away from them and cleared his throat. They were standing a tad too close for his liking.

Prue sighed as she walked about, she'd checked the whole train and her sister had still simply... vanished... and she was always the one that made friends with everyone! Now what to do? Biting her lip Prue considered her options, standing here until found was an awfully good idea at the current time!

Harvey smiled at Minnie "Well I didnt think that you were rambling.. it felt normal.." he said to her "Well since you are mad about me then you must have broken out of a psych ward..." he said chuckling..
Harvey then heard Minnie called Claudia's name... and Minnie promptly made space her on the bench as she talked to Claugida>

Claudia turned when she heard Minerva ask her to join them. She smiled and joined her and Harvey on the bench. "Are you sure I'm not intruding? Well actually I was looking forward to coming to Hogwarts, but for some reason I now realize why Lyssie didn't want to come back. You guys are such great friends but somehow I don't think I'll fit in here too. I was studying in the School of Witchcraft in Salem, Massachsetts and like Lyssie, I had no problems making friends there. But for some reason, I'm having problems doing the same here. Maybe it's because I'm not from here. Maybe it's because I'm coming to Hogwarts in my 3rd Year and everybody already has their group of friends. I'm thinking that I should just turn around and get back on the plane and head back home." Claudia sighed. Maybe she and Lyssie were more alike than she thought.

Prue heard the girl speaking, and though she knew it probably intruding upon the others as no one else had yet responded she walked over quickly with a smile, her sister could definitely wait. "None of that's true" she said grinning a bit like a fool. "You'll definitely make friends here, I mean my sister makes quite a few friends when you can actually find her, and seriously, I haven't found all too many here yet either though I was here as a first year" she said with a wink, hoping it would make the other girl feel better... of course chances were she was intruding upon the others as well now... but that's how her sister seemed to make friends...

Claudia turned when she heard another girl speak up. She smiled at her whimsically. "Thanks for saying that. I hope I will too. My name's Claudia by the way," Claudia said as she stuck out her hand to shake the other girl's.

With a grin she shook the other girls hand. "I'm Prudence-Melinda because my parents like long names, but you can call me Prue" she stated (because honestly who in their right mind would call their daughters Prudence-Melinda and Abigail-Francesca?) before she plopped down, crossing her legs as she sat on the ground.

He did.. what? Louisa's face went rigid instantly. He told his grandpa about Louisa? How good she was to him? The girl wrapped her arms around the boy's neck once again, "I'm not that good, Adam." She let go, blushing. Really, it was him that saw goodness in everyone and was too nice to be a Gryffindor. Just sayin'. "It'll be really great if I meet your grandpa." He was an Auror for starters and then Louisa never really met a magical parent before. She wanted to see how they looked like and how they acted. She was this curious.

"Yeah, I hope so too." Concerning Joao's trusting her. Moving on to Adam's grandpa was a relief for the girl, now though. She didn't really find a solid ground to discuss Joao's relationship with her and how deep it was. The only thing Louisa was sure of was that she liked him a lot and would endure his silliness untrustworthy issues to the end. Well, unless he did something wildly wrong or bad. She'd get to that later.

"I told you, you were incredibly mature dealing with all that stuff pretty much on your own." She smiled at him, "It's relieving that you got to know your grandfather is an understanding wizard." He deserved it. His owls were pretty good too! Louisa chuckled, "Yeah, I'm really stressed out because of OWLs this year myself." She looked down at her fingernails. She'd developed a new nervous habit, too. Biting the glorious polished and painted fingernails. How classy.

Minerva smiled at Claudia. "I hated that Alyssa didn't feel like she fit in. She was a brilliant witch, top of our house. Everyone loved her. Please don't ever feel like you are not wanted with us. You are always welcome to hangout with us and we want you around. If you ever need anything please just ask." Minerva wasn't letting her go as easy has Alyssa had left.
