Don't staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaare too much. Despite of her newly discovered fondness of him, it was still awkward to have him staring at her like that, not to forget they were the only ones inside the compartment. "Stop staring, would you?" Beezus laughed. "Well..I think it's better you don't know. You might get too full of yourself if you find out you actually had likable traits." GRIN.........small frown....

He might end up like Dylan. She didn't know the Slytherin Captain anymore to be honest. Maybe his badge had hit him right in the head. And all at once, what happened earlier made a flashback in her mind. Argh. "Do you think I'm pathetic for crying because I was so mad at him?" Out from nowhere, she questioned him.

Hah.

Her? His inspiration? Did she even deserved that? She felt like she did not. "I don't think I deserve to be that inspiration Rich." Beezus inhaled deeply. "I called you a jerk when you weren't entirely one. I judged you before I even knew you. That was very rude of me." And that was why she was saying sorry. This time, she was the one who looked into his eyes, "Friends?"

When she told him to stop staring, he knew that he did not want to but still he did as she said and looked away. He was going to say 'sorry' too but for some reason he could not bring himself to say it. Not thinking over it much, or avoiding to do so, he decided to focus on her other words smiling at them a bit. ''Yeah, maybe.'' She could be right, he sometimes could become that 'jerk' she was talking about anyway.

Not being able to look at her to do as she said, he looked down at the floor but even though he did that, her pretty face was still in his mind. He suddenly looked up, at her, when she asked the question though. Pathetic? ''No'' he said ''Not at all. I think such emotions should not be kept inside. That's one reason i write songs.''

He stared for a bit more but looked away again when he remembered what she had said again. Well...this was getting awkward. He was not used to...being like this. ''I decide my inspirations.'' and if he was sincere about one thing, that was it ''And i think you deserve it...'' unable to help it, he sighed and murmured ''...and more.'' with some effort, he managed a smile on his face. ''That's fine. You are not the only one to have said that.'' Seriously, he had heard it a lot before. And what she said last.

For a moment he felt like he wished for more than being 'friends' but then this quickly reminded him what Dylan and...eh stuff. He took a deep breath. ''Maybe i should go now.''

Taylor smiled up at him and nodded.

Yeah, maybe. Beezus nodded at this. See? He really wasn't that bad. She really liked that. Hopefully, he'd continue on being what he was right now in front of her -- caring, thoughtful and sweet.

"I think you're right." At least he wasn't condemning her for acting like the way she did. And he truly was right, emotions shouldn't be encased without venting out once in a while and in her case, the rage towards Dylan had piled up inside her. "Uhm, can I...help you write songs sometime?" Beezus asked. So when the time comes she'll be full of those emotions, she wouldn't have to throw any kind of fit.

Merlin, she wanted to laugh with how firm he had taken in her request to not stare at her. She actually could see how he was fighting it. But she kept it to herself...for now. GRIN. Aaaaaand....blush, blush, blush. She deserved it...and more. Gah! He was so unpredictable, Beezus wants to hit herself with a rock for calling him something he was not. He was being VERY sweet. It was the first time someone's ever been so sweet to her. She knew he found her pretty, he told her so. But...this was just too much. "I don't think I'll last long on your inspiration list." There were many prettier girls at school. The brunette smiled wider and tilted her head. "I wish they could see how the exact opposite you are of what they think.." So, he won't be hearing those anymore.

EHHH?

He was going? He didn't even responded if they were friends or not and this is confusing her so much. Her smile vanished, and was replaced by a quizzical look that she, after a few moments, had faked into a forced smile. "Oh?" He was leaving her? Did say something wrong? "Well...if..if you still have more important things to do..then I won't keep you." He can go if he wants to.

Damon smiled and kissed her lightly.

Tay kissed him back and smiled.

Damon smiled down at her, "I love you. So what time do you want to do until we get to the school?"

"Oh," she said. Well that just explained everything. "Screaming is for Gryffindors." They were the ones who usually got all excited, after all, when something happened. She shrugged. "Well, yeah. I'm happy to be back. I'm just not screaming about it." Some people could just be excited without alerting half the train.

Her eyes followed his until they reached her prefect's badge. What did he expect her to do? Bark at him to find a compartment and take a seat? No, thanks. She'd leave the uptight ruling to the Ravenclaws. She looked back up just in time to catch his name. kendrick. She didn't know any Kendricks, although, she guessed she did now.

Hearing Slytherin, she perked up and grinned considerably. "Smart answer, kid," she said. ...and now it was time was a real introduction. "As I said, I'm Sierra Greingoth. Daughter of the Minister of Magic and the Slytherin Head of House. You'll enjoy my mom's classes. She's excellent at what she does."

He looked at her "Well if your cat climbed the Hogwarts Express and you climbed the Express to get your cat back.. then you can expect to be punished for that.. trust me!" he was not expecting it thinking he and the girls were being heroes in rescuing their pets off the train.. but nope! they got punished for being heroes. By whom? he had no idea! "I dont know who she was.. just that she was older than me.. much older" yeah thats all he knew of that girl. He nodded as she asked about the flyers "Yeah! those flyers! Yeah the.. bat thing! she lost it and what-not!" AND that other girl was with this Selina girl too! "You saw those flyers? Oh!! that punishment girl was talking to this Selina girl.. the one with the missing beater's bat. She said that we had to help Selina with the flyers" and that too as a punishment! What a punishment it was!

He smiled as she said it was lovely to meet him AND she called him DJ! Awesome! "Yeah same here!" he looked a little surprised that he was her first firstie that she had met "Well I am sure you will meet alot more!" he nodded as she introduced herself. "Thats cool! we both have short versions of our names!" he chuckled a little. As he realised that even Ariella was called Ari by Alexa so he could possibly end up getting confused.. but he would get to that when it came

He nodded "Yeah I do know about the houses.. my dad told me about them." since his mom knew nothing about the houses being a muggle and stuff "Wow! whats it like being in Gryffindor?" he wanted to be a part of either Gryffindor or Ravenclaw so he hoped that he would get into one of those.. and since Ariadne was a gryffindor might as well get some feedback on the gryffindor side of things and she was a fifth year so she probably knew quite a bit

"Exploding snap?" She glanced at him, holding up a deck. "Wizard chess?" Tay gestured her bag. "Sing and play?"

Alexa smiled, "Well it's nice to meet you DJ." She then looked around the compartment trying to find the right words, "Well kind of yes and kind of no. I'm a second year by grade, but I have never been to Hogwarts, so it's basically like I will be a first year." She looked at him feeling stupid, why did she come in her second year. All the second years have friends and she was going to pretty much be a first year. Not that it was a bad thing, but it just was going to feel weird.

Dylan looked at Alexa.. see she is so nice after you have been rude! "Umm yeah its nice to meet you too.. Alexa" it was! even though the way they met was not ideal but hey at least he knew someone who was his age or so.. AND.. AND she called him DJ! which made her a cool person straight away! He saw her look around the compartment as she explained everything to him. Like a first year? but in second year? meaning she was just like him then, new to Hogwarts.

"So do you know anyone here at Hogwarts?" he asked her wondering if she had any friends that had come with her or if she was alone or something. He remember how it felt when he knew hardly anybody and now he knew a few people. If she didnt know anyone then school would be pretty boring for her, even he would be bored.. and would go around looking for mischief cause of that.. afterall all he wanted was to have fun! "Did you transfer from somewhere?" he asked her as well wondering if she did.. cause that would explain her going straight to second year instead of first.. not that he had a problem with her being in second

Damon smiled and pulled away, accioing his guitar, "I think the last one songs like from fun."

Alexa smiled, "Well I guess you could say I transferred. I was getting private schooling, my parents are a bit over protective. They are not really happy I'm coming, but I finally was able to talk them into it. I'm an only child so it was so boring at home." She then thought about his question. Could she say the other students she met were her friends already. She wasn't sure if she could or not. "Well I wasn't allowed out to much so I don't really have any friends, but I did meet three other students a little bit ago, they seemed nice." She then wondered if he had friends here. "Do you have any friends or siblings here?"

Taylor smiled, "What song shall we do?" She got out her guitar as well.

Damon smiled and kissed her forehead before he started to play.

Dylan listened as Alexa answered all his questions. "Yeah it is boring at home.. being an only child. I should know.. I am an only child too.. parents divorced before they could have anymore." which was a bummer cause he could have teased his sibling with all his magic "Though I do have my muggle step-siblings.. but not the same" couldnt exactly show them the cool wand and everything. "No its good that you have come here.. at least here you will be able to have fun with people your age.. thats what I plan to do. Have lots of fun!" well not like climbing the train but something adventurous as well.

He frowned "You werent? now that is just mean! " every kid should be allowed out! "Thats good that you have. No siblings.. I have made a few friends on here.. and hoping to make more." he smiled.. yes he actually smiled "What was the private schooling like?" he asked curiously wondering what was taught.. muggle stuff or magical stuff.. probably muggle since underage wizardry was against the law.. he disliked his father for drilling that into him every time he tried to steal his father's wand to try out a few spells. His dad was kinda boring not letting him play practice with the wand

Taylor started to sing and play with him.

Damon smiled at her, singing along as well.

Taylor laughed and smiled, "I love doing this with you." She continued to play.

"As do I with you," Damon smiled at her as he moved on to another song. he smiled at her as he sang, making it clear that every word in the song applied to him and how he felt about her.

Taylor blushed and smiled at him. She looked up and kissed him lightly. Then Tay started to sing.

Damon smiled and kissed her back, as she finished he started again, He smiled at her.

Taylor smiled at Damon as he sang. She was totally enchanted by the song.

Damon smiled at her as he finished, kissing her forehead lightly, "I love you."
