Maxwell nodded. "That's where i get it." He said pridefully. He shook his head. "The things he's seen both wonderful and terrible, I'm proud to be his son. I hope i'm half the man he is one day." He said smiling and the got back on subject. "But what did you think of what you read?"

"Yeah i know that is where you get it, my prideful lion." She kissed him and laughed. To the book thing, "I would never want to even think about going through what he has gone through...." She shivered, "It gave me some nightmares, just reading it."

Maxwell smiled and kissed her back, he enjoyed being called a Lion. "Maybe that's why i'm happy he has someone like your Mum, someone to take care of him..." He shrugged. "He deserves it." Maxwell didn't say anything about her mother or what she'd been through because he didn't want to upset Taylor, but he knew she too deserved his father.

Tay nodded, "Yeah they do deserve each other." She sighed and smiled, "I am happy that they are happy. They deserve happiness." Tay had no clue all that her mother had been through since she hadnt bothered talking to her mother about it.

Maxwell smiled. "But enough about them, I have a beautiful girl in front of me whom i do believe i have another adventure to plan with." He said speaking about the map they found in the shrieking shack.

Tay blushed and pretended to look around, "Who?" She laughed and smiled at him. Taylor nodded, "As long as I dont do anything that causes the Davis' anger to flare in momma, i will go on it."

Maxwell smiled. "Well, you'd be going with me so you'll never get caught." He said with a small chuckle at his own confidence.

Tay laughed and smiled, "Sounds fun then."

Maxwell smiled. "I'm not sure where it leads to yet. But we'll follow it." He said excitedly.

Christopher walked towards the platform after crossing through the nine and three quarters barrier. Unlike so many of the younger students around him, the sixth year carried only a single trunk in one hand and an owl cage in the other. The platform seemed relatively empty, so he saw it as an opportunity to finally break out a book. Summer had gone by quickly, and he hadn't exactly gotten in much time to practice his favourite past-time, especially while in the ever-hectic Skylar household. Setting down his things, he quickly opened his trunk and pulled out the first book he had, as not to mess up anything else in there. After glancing over his random and hasty selection of Charles Dickens, Christopher sat down, leaning against a barrier, waiting for either a friend to come along, or for the train to get ready to take off. But he had plenty of time and no one to meet, so he was pretty sure he'd be able to have a relaxing time, even if it was on the ground in the middle of the train station.

Alyssa walked further down the platform until she reached the South End of it. She was hoping that she would see some of her friends but now that the platform was getting a little more crowded, it was harder for her to see anyone despite the fact that she had grown a whole inch and half making her now 5ft 7 1/2 inches tall. As she walked she noticed a girl who was trying to tip toe over the globs of gum that were stuck on the platform. She held in her laugh not wanting to offend the girl.

She walked a little faster until she caught up with the girl and said, "You seem to be doing a good job of missing those troublesome wads of gum. I've stepped on so many already, that I've given up hope. Hi there, my name's Alyssa. Nice to meet you."

OMGGGGGGGGGGGG.

As far as TRAINS go, this was the best one that Theodore had ever stepped foot on. He wanted to kiss the floor. But he wouldn't.... too many people. After a not so emotional goodbye to his family, the eleven-year-old bounced to the back of the train. Where the COOL kids sat. RIGHT? Yeah, he was no fool when it came to cool.

He found a compartment quite easily, where he rushed to the window and pressed his hands against it, staring out.

"WHEEEEEEEEEEee."

Tag was putting on his shoes, after having them fly out of his feet from running so fast when he saw a boy reading. Reading? Now, who in their right mind would read before going to Hogwarts? Crazy people. This boy needed to get up and move.

Smirking to himself Tag began to swing around doing his Taggie Waggie a dance move that could not be explained. It was just a Tag thing. So, it wasn't HIS actual Taggie Waggie-but he'd have to save that later for Alec and Anya! Tag moved forward and backward doing the macarena all the same, until he stood directly in front of this guy!

"AYYY Macerana!!" He said in a festive mood wiggling about his hips and hands.

He looked at her, "I promise, why wouldn't I tell one of my closest friends?" He felt it should be strange telling the girl that liked him about his plans about winning someone else, but Min. had said she understood. He knew he could trust her.

Minerva giggled "Well once on the train where I can use magic again, I can change it any color you wish. What do you think Justin might like." she laughed hoping Ronnie wouldn't mind her bringing Justin up. "So do you like the prat.. I mean boy." she smirked a bit. She was still hostel towards him and she knew she had to get over it. "I'm great now that we are going back to Hogwarts." Minerva smiled at Rupert.

Minerva winked at Maxwell, but she couldn't help thinking about walking on the grounds with a cute little fox and Justin coming up to her.. What a surprise when the cute little fox would go at him. Not hurting him, but scaring him enough that he might pee his pants or something. She giggled to herself at her own thoughts.

Minerva put her hand on his shoulder "Good, because I am dying to find out what the outcome is going to be." would she be supporting Damon in his hurt feelings or would she have to be there for Maxwell while he was hurt. Either way she was going to be a friend to all of them some how. A thought crossed her mind on which would be easier to watch, but she couldn't think like that. She wanted Damon to be happy.

Dylan stepped through the barrier with a sigh as his parents followed in behind him. He clearly wasn't speaking to them due to the way he quickly stalked off once being safely on the platform. The blond was still put off with them because of the Diagon Alley incident...

Of course, that trip hadn't turned out to be a complete bust...

He had met the most peculiar girl...Not that her looks were weird or unattractive. No, no, NO. She was, by far, one of the best looking girls he'd ever laid eyes on...but she was also the strangest...Nodding to himself in agreement to the thought, he subconsciously looked around the platform for her.

Stopping the action as soon as it began, he heard his mother step up behind him. Tossing a look over his should, Dylan crossed his arms. "What?"

"Dylan Corvi, watch it...and stop pouting." She was tugging at his black hoodie and pale hair, attempting to groom him. Dylan just glared at her, not moving to stop her assault. "Your father and I had meetings..."

"Yes...Whatever you say, mother." *GLARE*

Maxwell laughed a little. "But i won't know what my animagus form is until i try it." It was something that bothered Maxwell, often an Animagus' patronus was the same unless theirs was a magical creature there's never been an Animagus who's form was a magical creature, but it isn't impossible.

The new term will be starting soon..

The Canadian-blonde guy walked passed to the platform. It was his first time to be here, in Kings Cross station. His face looked cold and unhappy, Gary still disagreed about his movement to Hogwarts. Seriously he really missed Salem. If he could chose, maybe He would stay in Salem or move to Canada and lived with his relatives there. But, wait. He didn't have any relatives besides Lucas and Gloria Rush.

How could this happened to me? He murmured.

Gary walked lazily. Walking in a strange place alone. The blonde guy looked around and didn't notice that there was anyone who had he meet before. But nice! Maybe he wouldn't meet the two-weird-annoying girls who looked a like.

Aurora had ditched her sister on the muggle bit of Kings cross and gone through the barrier alone. She was a little apprehensive about going back to Hogwarts... Milton would be there. And Jonathan. And, of course, Kennedy. Pfft. This was going to be so awkward. Maybe it could all work in her favour though... Maybe.

She stood at one end of the platform and looked around for someone she knew... Nope. Noone here yet... Sebastian, her fluffy White cat, woke up from his slumber on top of her trunk and meowed at her. She tickled his chin absentmindedly as she wandered down the platform again until he suddenly decided to get off her trolley.

Keeping a close eye on her cat, she stopped and watched him pad up to a boy a meter or so away from her and sit in front of him. At least he wasn't playing with the boys shoelaces... Yet. Aurora scooped her cat into her arms and plonked him back on top of her trunk, earning a glare from those big blue eyes, before turning back to the boy. She'd never seen him around before unfortunately but there was no way he was anything younger than a fourth year... Even that would have been pushing it. She decided he was probably about fifteen or sixteen. "My cat was about to eat your shoelaces." she said in explanation. "I'm Aurora. Who are you?" she asked as she looked up at him. Why did she have to be so little?! No matter what people said, 5'3" was NOT tall enough.

Minerva took to an mischievous grin. "Oh Maxwell, I don't think it will matter what your animal is, we can still have some good pranks with it." heck even if it was a fish there could be a prank, right?

While the blonde guy kept silent at the platform, suddenly he felt something was near his feet. A white cat was there. He made sure it was one of student's cat, because it looked fluffly and healthy. Sigh, Gary Rush didn't like cats.

"Hush! Get away from here!" He snapped. Then no longer after that, there was a girl walked toward him. Maybe she was the owner of this cat. "Is this your cat?" He asked cold. "Next time, you should keep it carefully." said him with no expression. "Thank Merlin I don't have an allergy with cats." He murmured.

He realized that the girl looked up at him, wondered. "What's wrong?" he asked. Many people who he had met always looked up at him. Did he looked different? Then the blonde guy took of his sunglasses, introduced himself. "Well, I am the new student here." He offered his hand. "Gary Rush." said him and give her a cool smile.

"Hey!" Aurora snapped, stroking Sebastian's head. "There's no need for that. He's not doing you any harm." Nobody shouted at her cat and got away with it - no matter how attractive they were. "And even if you did have an allergy to cats there are a million different potions to cure it." So there.

And so, now that was over she could get down to actually conversing... Wrong? "Nothing's wrong... why?" she frowned slightly. Why would anything be wrong? "Except maybe the fact you're wearing sunglasses inside..." she teased; that was definitely wrong. They didn't do that in England... Well, some people did. Aurora shook his hand, "Nice to meet you." Gary Rush... okay. Committed to memory. "What year are you in?"

Maxwell laughed. "I'm sure you're right, i'm just so anxious to find out. But i can't start for another year or two." Maxwell said impatiently.

Although he didn't have any allergy with cats, but Gary never liked cats without any particular reason. Dogs are better. But Hogwarts didn't let him to bring Rex, his siberian-husky dog, to there. That's weird. The red-haired girl snapped him back because he shouted to her cat. But at least, he didn't harm the fluffy cat, right? See? Girls are weird.

"Well.." he said to Aurora. "Nice to meet you too, Aurora." he gave her a cool smile, tried to be friendly but Gerald Alexander Rush was not a very friendly with new people, and girls especially. "I'm fifth year by the way." He answered. Crossing his arms, he guessed that this girl was not too older than him. Maybe she was in a same age as him.

"and You?"

Minerva smiled and then moved her head towards the other end of the platform. Hoping he would get the hint to join her for a second.
