Actually, the blonde guy had known what will this conversation continued.

Did he try Quidditch?

Sigh..

But he still looked cool. Without any hesitation, Gary answered her question. "Well, I don't think I'll try for the team, this term." he said. "I want to watch how Quidditch at Hogwarts first, then if I'm interested, I'll try next term." He didn't lie.. much. Well, that reason was quite reasonable, right? As a new boy in Hogwarts, he'd like to see how was Quidditch there.

Gary didn't want to tell about his serious injury in his left shoulder and made him would be absence for Quidditch. Though the accident was happened a few months ago, but he still felt it hurted, much.

Maxwell smiled and Helios began to make chirping sounds. "He says 'Who wouldn't sing a song for one so lovely.' Phoenix's often grow the same attachments to people their companions do." He said admiring her blonde hair in the light.

Minerva moved her head and looked up at him. What was the smirk for she wondered. Did he know what she did. "Why haven't you seen her?" Minerva was curious. "I thought she spent everyday at your house. Following you around like a puppy." she grinned at this.

Minerva laughed "Oh I can see it.. Tie Harvey to a tree at the lake, people would think he was nuts since they couldn't see the ropes." she looked back at Ella then to Harvey. "Don't worry Harvs I won't pick on you to much." no she had another person that she would irritate if needed...Justin she thought.

"I've been out a lot lately. Finally got to walk, I've spent the last month staying away from that prison." He chuckled at what she said, "And actually, she'd been avoiding the house a lot ever since she met you... So I owe you a bit of a thanks. She was starting to scare me seeing her constantly." He wondered if she still noticed his arm was still around her.

Minerva laughed "Well your welcome. I'm glad I could help in some way, since I feel like I have failed you with your love life." she blushed a bit. She was hoping he forgot about his arm around her, because she wanted nothing more then to stay like this until the train came. "Well I'm glad you got out of your prison, I was stuck in mine." she chuckled a bit. "It was my own fault though. I gave Leelee bitting teacups for a little party she was having. Let's just say she was not to happy yelling at me with a teacup attached to her lip. Then there was giving Justin a bit of his own medicine at the fountain. I gave him puking pasty. So I was kind of stuck the last few weeks at her house not going anywhere."

Harlow caught movement out of the corner of her eye. She looked up and smiled when she saw Whittaker weaving his way over to her. "Hiya," she said once he finally got voer to her. "Your brothers didn't make you summer horrible did they?" Her brothers were just as rotten as Whit's were about teasing.

Harlow looked at Aurora, "Are you Kennedy's girlfriend?" She asked softly. Harlow didn't have a crush on Kennedy per se. She did like him, just not in the way she wanted to kiss him, but she didn't like him in the way like he was her brother. He had just always been super nice to her and he always smelled like soap and grass. Like her dad.

She bobbed her head in the affirmative. "Japan is lovely. Its so amazing." It was one of Harlow's favorite places, other than her place of birth. Syria was pretty amazing if you knew where to look. "Oh goody. My mom said I could start traveling alone with my friends now that I'm 13." Harlow pulled herself up to her full height. Her full 4 feet and five inches. She thought it was rathe impressive, but she was clearly no bigger than a 10 year old.

Harlow nodded her curtain of black hair falling across her face. She tucked it back behind her ear. "Thank you. I'm really enjoying it and my mom got to go with me on the book tour. Which was a little bigger this time. I got to go to New York this time." And that was amazing for Harlow. They let her have her own room in the hotel and everything.

SHE WAS GOING TO HOGWARTSSSSSSSSS!



And Blue was basically hopping with excitement. Yup. HOPPING. Blue managed to tug her trunk up onto the train -no help from anyone else- and was dragging it along, till she found a compartment. When she did, she slid open the door to an empty compartment before managing to get her trunk up on the tray-thingy-ma-bobber. Her arms shook under the weight but SHE DIDN'T CARE 'CAUSE SHE WAS GOING TO HOGWARTS!!!!!

Did you know that?

Blue sat down, jumping up slightly every other second a massive grin across her face.

SHE WAS GOING TO HOGWARTS!!

Tay laughed and blushed, "Two sweet talkers." She shook her head, giggling. "You two are going to make my head grow even bigger." Taylor smiled at him.

Oooh Yaay! Alex remembered her. That was a pretty big thing for Indy really. Alex was a really cool soon to be fifth year, so if he remembered her, some insignificant third year, then it was pretty cool. Indy beamed at him. She kind of felt pretty important now. Well you know, until someone else more important came and took Alex's attention from her. But that wasn't happening right now. So everything was pretty cool. So far anyway.

"Hiiii." She smiled, snugging Mushroom close. She coudln't lose her kitty before they got to hogwarts. It just would not be good. "It was!" She had really enjoyed herself. "I went to Skegness." Where Spike had thrown a lugworm at her. That hadn't been so good. But that was okay. She had gotten over that now. As long as he didn't do it again. But by the time they went on hliday again she'd know lots more spells to pretend to hit him with. "Did you?"

Selina walked down the platform still surveying the area. The fifth year Gryffindor Quidditch Captain had been walking up and down the platform looking for any familiar face for several minutes and still had come up with nothing. All of her friends, it seemed, were either not at the platform yet or they were simply just no where to be found. Which the fact that they were missing in action was really starting to concern the older Gryffindor. What was she supposed to do if her friends never showed up? The train ride would be excruciatingly boring.

Then, as she clicked her heels, the redhead noticed a younger student who looked sort of excited. It was painfully obvious by the fact that she kept jumping up and down every five seconds.

With a chuckle she approached the girl and inquired, "You're a first year, I'm guessing?". Although it was obvious.

" Not Completely horrible least not the WHOLE summer anyways. I didnt have to spend the whole summer with Beale and Bentley I spent part of the summer at Conner's house, was the rest of your book tour as hectic as your Orlando Stop was?" He asked he smiled slightly as he remembed how pretty he thought she looked as she sat there signing books in her slytherin green outfit and sparkly shoes.

Ahh, so Quidditch might be different in Salem? That made sense - they did a lot of things differently in the States... "I hate flying..." Aurora said softly. "Fell off once and I never intend to get on a broom again." Yep. One hospital trip was quite enough, thank you very much. "Watching the games is a lot of fun though - especially at Hogwarts. And especially when your house is winning." she added with a cheeky grin.

So, Gary Rush - Canadian, Salem transfer, Quidditch player, attractive and her age. What else..? "I get the feeling you don't like talking much..?" she said.

"Didn't you know?" Aurora blinked. "It's been like..." She counted. "A year and nine months..." Wow... That was a long time... She wasn't sure how she felt about that.

Let her travel without an adult?! "Really?! My parents wouldn't let me do that now! I think I have to wait until I'm seventeen..." Not that she was bothered, she liked traveling with her family...

Book tour? New York?! Wow!!!! "That's so cool!!" Aurora exclaimed. "Are you famous in the muggle world then?" She must be if she was doing booktours right..?

Damon smiled at her, "You haven't failed with my love life. You've helped me with it so much." He chuckled, "You are always getting into trouble, aren't you Min?"

Brycen had been looking forward to the return to Hogwarts all summer and finally it was here. He wonder for some time up and down the platform with out much luck in finding some of his friends, He was sure at least a few were around here somewhere since he had spotted a few of his friends siblings scattered about chatting with their own friends.

Minerva blushed and then shrugged. "I never use to. I actually was pretty quiet and well..." she blushed a little more "a bookworm so to speak. Went to every class, spent many hours in the library, but I don't know once everything changed it has just been easier this way." Minerva hoped he could understand, but she wasn't sure anyone could.

Maxwell laughed a little. "It's not me this time, i'm just translating." Helios continued to sing. "Now he's saying that a big head would just give you more for everyone else to adore." He said laughing at the bird a little.

Tay did a facepalm and giggled. She backed away from Maxwell and kneeled down to Helios, "Well, thank you, dear Helios. I will be sure togive you a treat once we are on the train." Taylor smiled and looked up at Maxwell.

Maxwell smiled. "Can I ask you a question?" He said hoping it wouldn't ruin the mood.

Tay glanced at him. Her brows furrowed, thinking of what he would ask, "Yeah sure."

Maxwell thought about the best way to put his question. "Would you really want Damon to be with this girl, who has a boyfriend? I mean if she's willing to leave her boyfriend that suddenly for him how would he be able to trust her? I mean think about the boyfriend..." He said hoping she would understand what he was saying and agree.

"Skigrass?" Alex asked, completely confused. Where the heck was that?? He had no idea what she was talking about but he assumed it was a country in Norway or some place equally weird.

"Yeah, it was pretty nice, a lot of playing with my niece and nephew, much of the same old stuff," he said with a smile.

"Why do you care what i think about it?" The corners of her lips were fllickering into a frown. "It doesnt involve you. I just want my cousin to be happy. He deserves better than that girl anyways."

Maxwell was taken aback by her response. "I just figured you'd have some opinion on it, I don't know..." He shrugged. "I just find him asking that of her wrong." He said hoping not to offend Taylor, but at the same time hoping she might remember this conversation when he told her.

"The girl isnt worth him either way. I think he should just see what is right in front of him. Minnie and him would be so cute together." She sighed. "The girl is probably just trash anyways, not worth thinking about."

Justin walked down to the south platform and had his trunk pulled behind him. He was ready for another year at Hogwarts.... And this would be his year if he had any say in the matter.
