The driver and snack lady sit waaaaaay up front in the driver's cab, but there are plenty of other compartments up here! Careful you don't sit in the Prefects' cab though.

"It's alright Daichi," Kurumi said as she stood up on her tip toes a bit more and streeeeeeeeeeeeeetched up as high as she could to give up a soft pat on the head. It was a high stress situation and sudden LOUD noises were startling...
Which only made her worry about Walnut even more.
Not noticing Oakey chowing down on the cookies, Kurumi's attention was back on the man when he said they could bring their pets. Oh GOOD! Only problem was that she now needed to find hers.
"WALNUT!" Kurumi called as she squinted through the darkness again. Honestly, she was not going to leave without the feline. Only, he was the sort of cat that didn't come when called. He usually took a message and got back to you when it was more convenient for him.
However, in the next few minutes she felt something furry rub up against her leg. "Oh thank your whiskers," Kurumi said as she knelt down and scooped up the feline. "I know you hate traveling this way...but it can't be helped."
Without waiting for any sort of reaction from the feline, Kurumi went towards the hula hoop. "Come on Daichi, you and Mr. Duckles too." And with that, Kurumi's hand was on the object, holding on to it and Walnut tight as her second least favorite mode of wizarding transportation whisked her away - along with her remaining cookies.

Damon quickly stood and grabbed Grimalkin from the mess in his and Taylor's compartment. He looked, Pixel was still snuggling close, sleeping inside his school robe, that only left Sid. He looked around for his owl, her hooting being his hint to her, he grabbed her a well and went back out next to Taylor again with both of them.

"Uhh, I need my hand," Beezus mumbled as she let go of Dylan's hand and heaved the cat into her arm, resting it against her body.
Where did that Ministry guy say the portkeys will bring them again? Oh, right. At the train station at Hogsmeade. Well, it was like they were still on the train then. At least the first years would still get to ride the boats. That was one of the most exciting experiences one would ever want to encounter at Hogwarts.
"Okay." Beezus responded when he said she was the boss. He wasn't going to give her a retort? Heh. Perhaps it was better if they always have a train wreckage, because he was all nice to her -- being a concerned bamboo and all?
...Speaking of concerned bamboos....
O_________o
EEEEP! Beezus involuntarily let out a small gasp, that came along with a squeal of some sort. Merlin's pants! She forgot about Rich! He was still inside the compartment.A slight expression of panic became evident on her face, "Rich..we have to get Rich..." They can't just leave him, can they?! But the frizbee was glowing more and more.
Can she still let go of the portkey for a minute, dash back to the compartment and bring the sweet guy there?!
Yes...Well...They BETTER end up in Hogsmeade or Dylan was going to flip his stuff. The Slytherin didn't need an unknown destination right now...Good thing there were so many of them in the compartment. He found this easier to deal with if they were in bulk...
Speaking to the others...Dylan vaguely heard thm pouring out of the compartment, too...Everyone was grabbing the glowing objects and seeing them do this just caused the Slytherin to hold tighter on their Frisbee.
And then Bee said she needed her hand.
Yea...right. Sorry about that...
Giving her a sheepish look, he released it, before carefully petting Charlotte...
SPOILER!!: Cookie Girl

Kurumi may know a lot of things, but when it came to people in the wizarding world she was usually the last to know. No easy access to the Daily Prophet over the summer and whatnot. Not to mention that she had only taken a quick glimpse at the Daily Prophet on the platform - just long enough to see that there would be visitors on the train really.
Only that didn't seem to be why Beezus was confused...maybe. "Alice," she said, peering through the dark again. "She must have taken a hard fall when the train stopped so suddenly." Kurumi's ears were still sort of ringing, but she was trying her best not to show it. That and her ankle was sort of hurting. But again, she wasn't about to show that...ever maybe.
She wasn't keen on visiting the Healer ANY time soon.
"Maybe..." Beezus' guess was as good as hers at this point. Kurumi just hoped that they heard some news soon before people really started getting uneasy.
Oh, hello there Mr. Captain...awfully concerned about Beezus aren't we? Only her eyes didn't stay on the pair...not exactly...they shifted....towards....something...on...his...shoul der....

Why was Cookie Girl looking at them like that? There was NOTHING to see here...Nothing.
*cough*
And DON'T eyeball Charlotte, lady...or you're going to owe me more cookies!

He smiled at the idea despite of...things. Maybe he did hesitate because of what Dylan said but it did not mean he could not just...try and see.
''I decide that.'' he uttered again about her claim that she would not last long on his list of inspiration. He also felt like commenting about how long it would last but the the answer for it that just came in his mind even scared him so he did not say anything in order not to scare her away. What she said next was a nice change of topic, what he was looking for actually. ''You know what...'' with a half smirk, he eyed her. ''...actually i don't care much about what people think of me. I am who i am and i am proud with it.'' Jerk or not. Whatever they said did not matter. There were exception of course, like her, but most were out of his interest.
Then, yeah, he said something about leaving but he seriously did not mean that. ''No, it's not that. Not that i have important things to do in this train i just...''
He fell silent all in a sudden when something happened...to the train apparently. He rose up and looked outside the window. ''What's going on?'' But nothing seemed to be happening out there. Did that always happen to the train? He did not know. It was his very first time he was riding it anyway. Then he found himself back on the seat when the train came to a complete halt. Nope, that was not a good sign. He wondered if he could use his wand but what he was going to use his wand for? He had no idea. He looked at Bee with questioning eyes as if asking if she knew what was going on but she was giving him the same look too. Another sign which was not good at all.
He remained seated when she decided to go for the compartment door probably to check what's going on. Good idea. Maybe someone at the corridors would give them a clue. Yes, she was right, something was definitely wrong. He watched as she spoke to some other students, including that funny girl whom he had met at the bowling place. They all looked like they had no idea what was going on. They all seemed to be safely discussing the problem though so Rich did not think something that required any urgency was happening. They would be screaming otherwise, would not they? So he remained in the compartment. He was staring outside when the Headmistress woman's, he saw in the Prefects' Compartment, voice came to his ears. Sitting down. Fine he was still sitting so that was no problem at all. But he did not know how sitting down could help with the train. He did not want to wait there for hours.
Richard looked back at the corridor when he saw another man talking. A man who had an official look to himself. Then he saw Dylan....holding hands with Bee. He did not know how he felt about that but they were probably helping each other with the portkeys. Finally he stood up and walked to the door and to them. First, he looked around then he silently went for the frizbee Bee and Dylan had chosen. ''You did not think of leaving without me, right?'' He would not be surprised if they did though.
*blinnnnnk*
What was Rich doing in the compartment? Dylan had wondered where he'd gotten off to...They were suppose to meet up and have a jam session.
Thanks, mate.
Not that he was too surprised...His best friend could always be found on the scene with pretty girls. Yes, guy. I'm eyeing you...
SPOILER!!: Bee, again

Beezus liked the woman though, even if she became all dictatorial with them then and there. The situation called for it and she had every bit of authority written all over her shoes voice and mere figure. So Beezus felt like she had to respect her. She demanded respect and Beezus right now, would willingly give it to her without second thoughts.
Poor Alice, she musn't have expected to fall over and knock herself down. Then again, no one knew what was bound to happen before it occurred. "She must see the Healer soon." said Beezus. Well, obviously. That was the best choice they have. even if most students had a not-so-good experience under the Healer's hands
..the frizbee she was holding was glowing more and more and more and more...
Exactly, what was happening to it? About to detonate, perhaps? Meh. She really had no idea. And she didn't want think about it any further too for right now, she was anxious as to why Richard was still inside the compartment. What was he doing? Munching on the remaining cauldron cakes? He needed to get himself out there!
You did not think of leaving without me, right? she heard someone say on her other side.
Instantly, her head moved to face whoever it was that said it. IT WAS RICH! Relief surged through her like lightning and she sighed deeply while she looked at him. Her expression relaxed, though her eyebrows were still a bit furrowed, and she smiled at him. "Thanks goodness you had the sense to get out of that compartment!" Really....what took him so long? "I was....so worried about you." Another siiiiiiiiiiigh. It was true! He had her so worried!
Then Kurumi let go of her Portkey and Beezus' eyes followed the Prefect as she scuttled towards the Ministry guy.
What about their pets? She looked down at Davinci and back to Kurumi. What was with their pets? Can't they just hold them while the Portkey ride wheels on? Because that was exactly what she was doing. Gah, what if the man will tell them to leave their pets?! Her grip on Davinci tightened. No chance. No matter how she hated him, she wasn't going to leave the feline in that stranded train!
Seeing Rich come closer and actually grab the frisbee, he smirked before he heard the words out of the Ravenclaws mouth.
*blinnnnnk, some more*
I was....so worried about you.
What...was this?
Shifting his eyes between the two of them, something cold and...intense settled in his chest. Had he NOT told Rich not to mess with her? He'd said that right? Because the Captain remembered having that conversation...
Glaring at Rich in a way that said they WERE going to talk about this later...and just glaring at Beezus because he shouldn't have been that surprised, Dylan felt the familiar tug at his navel before the scene around him disappeared.

Still holding on to his plushed duck, the Slytherin wondered whether or not he should bring his luggage with him. Because if he touched a portkey and he would travel to his destination would his school stuff still be coming to Hogwarts?
Biting on his lower lip, Daichi was oblivious of the pat on the head that Kurumi gave him and as she went to look for her cat, the Slytherin quickly grabbed his luggage. Just in time as Kurumi had now began to drag him to a hula hoop.
Holding her hand tightly, Daichi closed his eyes and felt an invisible hook surround his thin waist and he vanished.
Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right.

Oakey had been munching down on his cookies for minute or two, as was Charmer. He was off in his own little cookie eating world. Hopefully no one else would be eating these cookies anytime soon, Charmer must have been in that box for a while and the cat was shedding at the moment. Oakey decide to take a few more before he grabbed onto the nearest Portkey, and went on his merry way though he very much did not want to travel this way. He reached his hand back but there was nothing there! The cookies, where did they GO!? He shot a look forward and saw that Kurumi and snatched the box while he wasn't looking! Leaping up Oakey yelled to Kurumi "Kurumi! wait the cookies! my cat he..." He grabbed hold of the hula-hop that Kurumi had picked up and offered to Daichi as well. Then he was gone, swept away with his Cat and a few cookies lingering in his stomach.
Nate was just about ready to take a nap when out of the blue the lights flickered, and the train was starting to slow down. He quickly ran back to his compartment, and slammed the door. He grabbed his cat, who seemed to be scared out of her skin. Then he felt it crash. His head slammed foward against the other seat, and it nearly knocked him out cold.
As fast as the lights flickered a man arrived with a bunch of port-keys. "Let's go Julliette. Seems like we don't have much time to lose." He said gathering his stuff. "See you on the platform." He said with his stuff in his hands, he re-opened the door, and went to the nearest port-key. He grabbed hold, then he was off.

The brunette had ALL of her attention on the conversation between the Gryffindor Prefect and the guy from the Ministry who apparently introduced himself as Armen Recard. Not a man record.
Oh, thank Merlin! They were allowed to bring their pets along. Good thing Davinci was smart, she didn't have to look for him anymore. She thrusted the fluff ball more against her tummy and it gave a somewhat shrilly meow. "Shut up," Beezus murmured. She did not want him to get lost somewhere in a void during the Portkey ride so might as well take his complains.
Oh, and look. There was Daichi! Looking all tall. The Ravenclaw gave him a brief nod. They still had issues that needed settling, questions she wanted to ask him. Though, all of those can wait till they get to Hogwarts.
Then they were off.
Meh. It was no joke. They were using the Portkeys. And Beezus didn't know how she was going about with this given that it was her first time and all. Siiiiiiiigh.
Next thing she knew, the people on their group were slowly disappearing, Elliot with that young girl with her, Kurumi dragging Daichi along, Alice, and then Oakey and....leaving her with a glare...Dylan...
What did she do now, huh? Why glare Montmorency? Whyyyyyyyyyyy?! She turned to her other companion, giving him a 'well, here goes nothing!' look...
Pay attention to the plot. Hint hint. Then you'll know why we're closing this thread.

Anastasia marched into the front cars, on her way to the prefects' compartment as she was. Interestingly enough, she now had a rather stuffed purse on her arm and a few stray hairs were out of place. What had the Headmistress been up to while the students were being evacuated?
And were there still stragglers in here as well? "YOU. You. YOU. All of you," the woman pointed, gesturing for the leftovers to grab a portkey. "Get a hold of one of those and GO. We're late for the feast."
She narrowed her eyes at the students and watched and waited for them to do as she'd commanded. Once the kids and the portkeys had disappeared, Annie marched through the empty compartment and into the next one.
