Johnathan waited patiently as his parents went to go get some last minute items for him. He looked around and it felt so surreal that this was his last time leaving the platform. It was a bittersweet feeling knowing that he was leaving for his last year at Hogwarts.

He had learned so much at Hogwarts. Although he was always going back and forth from his muggle Aviation Academy and Hogwarts. He must admit to himself that he's enjoyed his time there. Now he was looking forward to graduate and once again be with his girlfriend.

As he stood there he noticed a familiar face, it was the one and only Emma Malfoy. He waved and smiled at her followed by going up to her a greeting her.

"Wad'up Emma? How's it going?" He asked plolitely. He's grown a lot comparing the last time he had seen her. Not to mention now he had grown out his goatee, men and their facial hair never gets old. He was happy to see her.

"It's okay!" Ronnie said. "Well...I used to. He owled me a lot about how much he 'loved' me...then he got a girlfriend and stopped owling me things like that. So he kinda made me a little sad..." she said. "But then out of the blue he likes me." she said, shaking her head. "I'm not sure if I like him or not." she said, looking at the ground.

Harlow nodded, "Oh California. I know that place." she told her. Though Harlow had never been that far into the United States. She had only been to New York to be honest. Her face brightened at the mention of Kennedy's name. "Oh I miss Kennedy. How is he doing? Did he get new glasses? How is his dancing?" She rattled off the questions in a quick fire manner. It was the last hold over form her childhood.

She smiled, "Yeah our family reunions are always a lot of fun. Well if it were left up to my cousin Paris she would certainly take a shot at our grandmother." Harlow didn't understand any of it and no one would explain it to her because they said she was still a kid. Which she didn't not agree with.

She had a training bra for Merlin's sake! She was an adult now!

Harlow brought herself back at Aurora's question. "Oh its one of the islands off the mainland of Japan." she explained. "Japan is a series of islands you know." Well she didn't know if Aurora knew or not. Not even could afford to traipse around the world like Harlow could. "If you want we can go on a holiday there." she offered. It was much more fun go go on vacation with friends than alone or with her brothers.

Harlow beamed, "Its five now. The last one was published as a young adult book. I may go back to writing children's books later, but I want to see where things take me." She confessed.

Ella was happy to have the second hug. It was comforting and it was nice having a friend around. "It's okay. It's nobody's fault. It's just sad." Though sad was a bit of an understatement. At her question, Ella shrugged. "I guess-I mean we said we both wanted to stay together though we aren't exactly together now, are we? He's the first boy I ever liked, Minnie." She sighed, looking down again. "Lets just not talk about it now, okay?" Ella didn't want to cry.

Ella tried to give a sincere smile when Minnie said they could practice together. That was something to look forward to. "That actually sounds really great. So where is Harvey? You guys are usually attached at the hip." They were best friends, yeah? Ella expected to see him here as well.

Maxwell smiled. "Hey, i missed you while i was over there." He said in joking way.

"I bet you did." She laughed and smiled. Tay twirled and wrapped her arms around him. "Ya know, you never did tell me what you think of it." Taylor giggled and showed Maxwell her nose pierceing, a small diamond stud.

Minerva blushed why was it always her ruining Ronnie's love life. "I'm sorry Ronnie, I didn't have a clue that he liked you. Justin and I dated last term until summer." She looked down ashamed that this was the second guy she took from Ronnie.


Minerva shook her head showing she understood to change the subject. "I can't wait to get to the pitch and the potions lab." Minerva smiled. "Oh Harvey" she laughed "I don't know where he ran off to. He is some where around here, he better be he has all my stuff on his cart." she giggled then turned to Ronnie. "Hey Ronnie do you know my friend Ella at all?"

Harvey walked over to the platform looking for Minnie.. after a little while of looking he saw her and heard a little of what Ella was saying.. "Hey Girls. Hi Ronnie and Ella.. good to see you both.. now Ella who is attached at the hips?" he asked curiously as he looked at all of them and smiled.. "I am guessing you arent talking about you 3 cause I dont see no ropes between you" he chuckled

Minerva laughed "Speaking of the devil say his name and he will appear. You do still have my things on your cart, right? Ella was saying you follow me around like a little puppy dog." she laughed joking with Harvey.

"Potions huh?" Ella asked. "I like potions too." Ella smiled at the other girl who was standing with them. They hadn't met yet and Ella always liked meeting new people.

When Harvey walked up, Ella smiled. He had perfect timing. "Hi Harvey, how was your summer?" She asked, curious. "Nope, no ropes here. I was actually talking about you and Minnie." She said, smiling.

Josslyn was quite unhappy that she had lost her parents because they had HER CLOTHES! Her precious somewhat cheap clothes! They also had her darling pink pygmy puff, Rhia! What everrrr would she DOOOO? She placed one hand on her hip as he flipped her hair to the siding using the back of her right hand.

If her brother, ZACHARY ABRAMS, had come with her, she wouldn't have been late. He was a very prompt OCD brother that she loved.

Just as the young blonde turned to walk farther along, she heard someone that sounded rather close to her. Were they talking to HER? Slowly, she turned towards the girl. Her pink lips were pursed up and her blue eyes were staring at the girl as if she would burn a hole right through that dreadful outfit she was wearing.

"Ew," she stated. Just EW. "Don't get your shoes anywhere near ME." The last thing she needed was some girl to get stinky mess all over her!

... and now she was introducing herself? Ha. It was as if this girl thought she was going to be friends with her!

Uhm. "Josslyn Abrams." And no, she was not going to be friends with her. "And it is nice to meet me, isn't it? Of course the pleasure is all yours." She smirked.

Harvey looked at her "Oh so I am the devil now" he laughed "I guess I am one of the good devils" he chuckled "Yeah I still have your things on my cart.. I do not follow you" he said despite knowing that she was joking "its either you follow me" he said getting ready to get hit by Minnie "or we just happened to be in the same place at the same time" he smiled still watching out for anything coming from Minnie's direction



Harvey smiled "Hey Ella.. yeah it was good.. it was a nice summer.. just hanging out around Diagon Alley.. how about yours?" he asked her "Me and Minnie?" he looked at their hips "Nope.. no ropes there either.. see!" he laughed running his hand between them "Unless they are some sort of magical ropes tha cannot be seen or felt" he chuckled.

Maxwell smiled. "I didn't think i had to, Since i already said anything you'd do would be cute...Maybe i'm just biased." He said kissing her forehead.

She laughed and smiled. Tay rolled her eyes and giggled. "Even a nose piercing is cute... you must be biased." Taylor kissed his cheek.

Minerva smiled "Yes I love potions. I made one over the summer." she looked around if anyone was listening. "It makes you puke if you drink it." she giggled a bit thinking of Harmony before the trip. She then looked at Ella they were so much alike, she was beginning to be a sister Minerva never had. Minerva smiled "Hey Harvey want some of my special fudge or toffee?" she knew the fear would come in his eyes soon. "I put an invisible rope around him, I just forgot to tell him." she teased.

Damon sighed, "I know, but besides telling Taylor I like her, enjoying a long vacation from Harmony." He smiled, "What about you?"

Hm. How was her summer? Well all things considered it was actually pretty good. "Summer was nice. I got to see some friends and spend time with my family..." Yup, lots of family bonding going on. "Oh and I bought my first broom!" She added, bouncing excitedly. This was clearly BIG news.

Ella couldn't help but laugh as Harvey talked about ropes connecting him and Minnie. The mental image alone was quite comical. She reached her own hand over, running it through the air between the two with a giggle. "I guess you're right! No ropes." It would be funny if they were roped together. She'd seen a muggle movie where friends were handcuffed together and they got into all kinds of trouble. Heh. "So, excited to be going back to Hogwarts?" She asked, looking up at him with a small smile.

Ella continued to laugh as Minnie said said she had made a potion that made people puke. "Yikes! Remind me never to try that." She said with a smile. "I bet you could tie someone up with invisible ropes. Maybe I'll investigate that." Hmm. That could come in handy some day.

Maxwell smiled. "Well, clearly i am, I'm crazy about you." He said kissing her cheek in return.

Tay smiled at him in affection, "As I am with you." She laughed and kept her arms around his neck.

Ronnie waved a hand. "It doesn't matter. It's okay." she said with a shrug. "Really, it's fine. I promise." she said, putting a hand on Minnie's shoulder.

Ronnie shook her head. "No, I don't believe I've ever met her. Hi, Ella. I'm Ronnie." she said with a warm smile, sticking her hand out towards the girl to shake.

"Hiya, Harvey!" Ronnie said.

Maxwell smiled back. "So i think when we're on the train you should play your lute while i play my pan flute." He said wrapping his arms around her waist.

"I think that sounds like an excellent idea." She smiled at him, "Though Minerva and I are going to do something together on the train before i can, okay?"

Maxwell nodded. "Yeah that's fine, what do you have to do?" He asked curiously.

So this is how you got to Hogwarts.

Weird thing trains. It made her really sick even if she had lots of lollies with her. It made her dizzy especially around the corners. She didn't know how people coped with it. And the worse thing was you couldn't really lie down well. Maybe that was people idea of fun. Hopefully not but probably though. As she strode around the station thinking about all the downsides to trains she extremely bored having no one to talk to.

Her boredom continued. Up to the point she nearly fell asleep. What could she do that wasn't completely childish? Noting much really. So she opened one of her bags and found that it was full of candy! This was GOOD! She couldn't survive without candy and didn't know how people survived without it in ancient times.

Harvey looked at her in surprise as she asked him if he wanted any of her candy "Er.. no thank you I have had enough experiences with your candy.. no more accepting candy from you.. I learnt my lesson thank you very much.. wait a minute you tied us up with invisible ropes? well you gotta tell me these things Mins... or I am gonna look like a fool in front of people.. what will Ella think of me now.. that I dont know what is going on in front of me?.. Oh boy.. I probably look like a fool right now" he chuckled as he looked at Minnie and then he looked at Ella as she spoke to him



Harvey listened as both girls talked about potions "Oh! dont get Minnie started on potions.. she has become an expert on that.. that and her spells.. mostly tranfiguration.. remember the mohawk she gave me.. you need to watch out for her potions, her wand and some of her candy.. I have been a victim of all 3.. thats how I know" he chuckled as he looked at Minnie.. hoping she wouldnt hit him.

Harvey smiled "Thats good.. just like my summer.. except it was more hanging out with friends .. I hung out with family too.. but with friends just a little more." he beamed as she told him her news "You did? thats great! congrats Ella." he smiled.. it was always good when you got your first broom.. he was gifted his first broom and he loved it.. he looked after it so that the paint work wouldnt scratch. "Yup I am right.. no ropes" he grinned "Er.. yeah I guess I am although I am used to it now.. this being our third year... you must be excited too! right? going back to Hogwarts and not being a firstie anymore" he smiled.. he remembered how it felt to not be the firstie anymore.. though he did miss being a firstie but then he did love being in second year.. he then looked at Ella with a little surprise "You could? You want to investigate the invisible ropes? Oh Ella.. dont give Minnie ideas about investigating things" he chuckled he knew that Minnie would investigate it the first opportunity she got.. and then he would be her victim to try it on.



Harvey watched as Minnie introduced Ronnie and Ella he smiled.. they would all be really good friends.. "Hey Rons!" he smiled "How are you? Feeling really excited to be finally going back?" he asked knowing the answer was obvious but it was fun to ask.. and who knows.. he may be able to make her laugh by coming up with something from what her reply would be.
