As far as it went, he was a great father to Beverly and he's tried to be one to the boy, but he's been refused. Either way, he was still great and Ciara had no idea of what was coming next. If she thought he'd leave that little girl of her's alone, she was dead wrong. Ciara was now part of his little game.
Occlumency. Right. Well, this ruined part of his plans. It didn't matter, Phabian knew he's lost his son's trust, but by the way the boy held himself at this moment, he knew he could still reach him out. Besides, Kennedy cared a lot for his sister and Phabian could use this to his advantage.
He turned to his brother and just glared at him. Hector should know by now that he lost his head whenever danger was near his daughter. "Mind your own business and make sure everyone's in place." Because now all that was on his mind was keeping his daughter safe and since he was the obvious target of Ciara's friends then that made Beverly part of it too.
Shifting his gaze to Kennedy, his expression changed to something close to pride. "Son, we need to talk." Not a question, not a request, but an order.
Kennedy raised an eyebrow at Ciara, but then she left. He was of age so he technically didn't run away from home, he just left. Besides, his father's manor was not his home, so Ciara was wrong...and annoying and infuriating and...
He had to take a deep breath as his anger rose. It's been happening a lot lately and it was all because of the idiot of parents they had...with the exception of Audric and his mom.
Occlumency?
Yeah. He needed to learn that, but unfortunately they didn't teach it at Hogwarts, but he'd ask his godfather. If his father knew it, it was most likely Xavier would to. He looked up at his father and just sort of stared at him. Did he have a choice? Probably not. "No. Whatever you have to say you can say it now." And now he was the one not giving his father a choice. It was about time he put his foot down.
Merlin, his family was so messed up.
Oh, the family drama. Hector leant against a pillar, twirling his wand in his fingers. This is why he stayed away from family. Nothing useful ever came from it...well, maybe a duel or two.
Hector raised an eyebrow at Kryspin. "Excuse you, but what my brother has done has nothing to do with me or the family, get your facts straight." Plus, everyone in the family knew Phabian wasn't the type to be tampered with. Only stupid people did that. Obviously, his niece's fiance's mother was one.
He stood where he was and caught sight of Tenglara and Maryad as well as a few more. Boy, the idea of a duel excited Hector a bit too much his fingers were itching with energy.
Phabian narrowed his eyes at his son. How dare he just disobey him like that?! His attention was quickly drawn away by Quinn. Couldn't he keep his damn mouth shut. "I know what happened and it's unfortunate my niece ended up hurt and, of course, I know it was directed at my son," he hissed. "Let me assure you Veepeer is six feet under and has paid for what he did." Phabian glanced at Yvonne and quickly looked away. He had been furious when he heard the curse had gotten her, but he had wasted no time in getting rid of Veepeer.
"It should have been YOU that got hurt, not my family," he spat, his voice colder than ice and pure hatred leaking from it.
Yvonne's hands curled into fists, her wand arm trembling in anger as she glared at Phabian. "Shut up! If he'd gotten hurt then you would've been begging Merlin to spare you!" She was ready. Ready to hex him and even blast him, but several things stopped her: she was an Auror and had to demonstrate better examples of restraint, there were children everywhere and Beverly was in his arms. Crud.
Everything was going in, yes. Everything was registering. But Krys was almost entirely unable to retort. He was so angry. So very, very angry. Though the comment about his mother made him snigger. Honestly, Krys had thought that the man knew her. But then...
It should have been YOU that got hurt...
He ignored Yvonne's comment... "I was hurt." he hissed dangerously, urgh why wouldn't the man put the kid down and play fair? ... Why did he expect him to play fair..? Criminals never did. "But you wouldn't understand something like that, would you? To feel that sort of pain you have to have a heart." And Phabian clearly didn't. "If it was all so accidental, maybe you should put more planning into things. You are such an idiot to put your family in danger like that, Wayne." Let alone Kryspin's family. Though that was a whole other matter.
"You seriously underestimated us, and believe me, one more little mistake and there will be no trouble getting evidence against you. Though whether I'll want to hand you over to the Aurors is another matter entirely. You are the absolute epitome of pure-" But then his father interrupted. Yes, he knew his father would be here. Krys was seething, visibly angry in every way. His eyes burning with hatred... which was something he had never felt in such strength before.
Today, Audric did not look like himself. His hair was black, his stature slightly shorter and a tiny bit hunched, not a hint of green to be seen around his person. He may as well have been wearing a perception filter, he blended in so easily. And today he had come to Kings Cross with his brothers, who were also in disguise. Because his brothers had children. And Seraphinus' daughter Ignata, though she was eighteen and homeschooled, was about the right height to look like a seventh year. He was stood not so far off, observing the happenings. Even he wouldn't step in when his wife had that look in her eyes... especially right now.
"Rowan, find my daughter." he said in Irish. Everything about his posture seemed normal for someone seeing off a relative but it was the tone of his voice that gave him away. Anyone but his brother wouldn't have noticed it, would have brushed it off as a regional twang, but Rowan knew Audric almost as well as he knew himself. The man disappeared down the platform and Audric turned to his other brother. "Seph, keep an eye on them, and keep Nat out of trouble." He ignored the glares from his niece and glanced back over to his son as Seraphinus moved her away.
Oh Merlin he was getting angry, Audric butted in. "Kryspin, remember your training. You need to be calm. Keep a level head." he said in Irish, walking over to the group and silently removing the disguise. Then he turned to Wayne. "You endangered my children." He finally reverted to English and stared at the man. He wasn't glaring, just staring. He was an expert at hiding emotions. And other things. "And however much I would like to kill you right now, it would be foolish for this to go any further in such a public area." He was deliberately ignoring Hector - he'd brought more back up than just his brothers.
Rowan nodded at his older brother and disappeared into the crowd, something he'd always been very good at, even with his stupidly red hair. The Quinn boys had all learnt to disguise that pretty quickly though, it kept them out of trouble. He spotted his nieces trunk and coat and leaned against the handle of the trolley nonchalantly, as his eyes searched for her.
And there she was, leaning against a pillar, breathing heavily and close to tears. And nobody had noticed her... Someone had obviously put some sort of charm on her to redirect attention away... but it was apparently wearing off. He slowly pushed the trolley over towards her, in such a matter-of-fact manner than he could be any dad looking for a child. When he reached her he rested the trolley on next to her and flicked his wand to remove his disguise. "Come here, Squirrel." he said, holding his arms out for the girl to come to her. "It's okay, it's okay, you're safe now."
Aurora's hands were pressed hard onto the pillar, keeping herself held up and hidden. Oh what on earth was going on? She was too scared to look around now - what if everything started going wrong? Her breathing was heavy and catching but nobody seemed to be noticing... maybe this was Kryspin's doing too.
And then a total stranger was pushing her trolley towards her... she frowned in confusion as he parked it next to her but than. "Ro!" she exclaimed in a whisper, making sure she stayed hidden as she let him hug her. "Is daddy here?" A little wave of relief washed over her as her uncle nodded. Oh thank Merlin... Surely her daddy could fix this? He could fix everything...
Seraphinus nodded as his brother spoke and put his hand on his daughter's arm, steering her away from the action - which actually just looked like a heated family argument right now - to lean against a pillar. From here he could just about see both of his brothers. He cast a quick concealing charm at Rowan and Aurora, and put an arm around Ignata, the conversation looked like any other father-daughter interchange. "Honey, if something goes wrong you are to apparate home immediately. Inform your mother and make sure she sends the rest of Fletcher's team, okay?" Ignata nodded once and Seraphinus was satisfied. Now to wait.

There are soo many people she hasn't seen in forever!!! It would also be nice to see all the professors again. Too bad Mr. Williamson wouldn't be there. He made CoMC fun! Her favorite lesson was the one with the Pygmy Puffs. She named hers Giovanni!
Pulling her trunk along, she sat down at the nearest bench, her trunk at her feet. Cardigan scanned the premises to see if there was anyone she knew, or recognized. She hadn't really ran into anyone she knew yet, sadly. Or not. The girl had just laid her eyes on, gulp, Ella. She scooted farther down the bench, so as to lower the chances of being seen by her. Not fun. At all. Rather terrifying actually. After a few minutes of just sitting in wandering thought, she decided now would be the best time to arrange her trunk, do it would be quite cleaner and more easier to find stuff. Opening her trunk, she began to rearrange everything, folding clothes, putting her textbooks into neat stacks, and repositioning her broomstick again and again. It really was important to her, and she didn't want it to get scratched up. That would be deathly horrible!
After losing Benjy somewhere between the barrier and here, Lily seemed kinda pleased with herself. Her semi-overprotective cousin had taken all of her bags except her rucksack and her broom, her now-warn-and-in-need-of-repair-broom. She had kept that with her because she was sure that it would end up in splinters if she kept it with her trunk and other belongings... and she knew that it had to last until Christmas.
She had planned pretty well for this trip, wearing her school skirt and blouse underneath her muggle jacket until she reached the platform where she swapped her muggle jacket for her robes. The redhead seemed to have some bounce in her step as she made her way down the platform in search of a bench to sit on until it was time to leave. She felt all important since she was already in her robes, unlike so many on the platform.
As she got closer to the end of the platform, the now third year spotted a bench that wasn't fully occupied so she headed over, her broom resting on one of her shoulders. The girl there seemed occupied at the moment... looking at who knows what. "Oy! What are you looking at?" Lily said sliding onto the bench so that she sat next to the girl, accidentally knocking the other girl's broom onto the ground as she took her own broom off of her shoulder. "Sorry 'bout that..." Quickly, the redhead picked up the other broom and did her best to return it to it's position from before.
Ronnie laughed at his confusion about her calling him that. "I dunno, really...I guess just the name Dylan sounds like 'Dill' for short or something, and then the word 'Dill' makes me think of Dill Pickles." she said laughing. Gee, when she explained it like that, she sounded like a crazy person!
Dylan was confused at why she wanted to call him that and listened as she explained why she wanted to call him Dill Pickle. He raised an eyebrow as she did explain, and nodded well that did sound like a reasonable explanation.. right? well it seemed so "I haven't been called something like that before, I mean no-one wants my name put to some pickles.. I mean it is a bit strange." but did he really want to be called Pickles? Well it would be fun to have a different name.. and he did love fun! nothing came close to it. "Ok sure why not.. it will be fun to be called that" he chuckled. Well it looked like he was going to be called Dill Pickles by this girl.. what was her name?... ah yes Ronnie!

"Hi. Thanks for this." She said, holding up the flyer. "We'll let her know if we see it." She added with a small smile, realizing Laura probably didn't want the added company while she was crying.
Here was another girl that smiled at him, were all girls like this? all smiley and stuff? cause that was nice. He didnt really want to bug/disturb them but he had no choice seeing as he was being punished, and then for some to not seem to mind him coming over and actually smiling was nice. "No worries. Thanks." he looked over at the crying girl and this smiley girl and realised they hadnt resumed the conversation and realised that he was supposed to leave now "I guess I will see you two around then" he said knowing that he would see them. It would be fun to know more people but not when they were busy with other things and with that he walked away leaving them to their business, whatever that was.. he really didnt want to know why some girl was crying.. probably boy stuff.. it usually was.

It was a good thing poor Archer didn't get a heart attack or something from all the unnecessary screaming.
Yup, this girl clearly had her head on straight--
Wait Whaaa?!O______________O
Tie them up?
It took an extra second for her to realize that the girl was only being sarcastic...okay so maybe she couldn't tell until the girl winked at her--but at least she could tell...eventually. She giggled. It was funny seeing someone other than her being sarcastic to the girls. The best part was that she looked to be around their age so she could have gotten away with it!! And now she knew that this girl at least had spunk; she would have to try running into her later on and since she planned to...
"I'm Alexa, by the way." She would have offered her her hand but one was holding the determined feline and the other, a stack of flyers so instead she just smiled.
"Genevieve," the older girl offered her name in return, and when it was obvious the kid didn't have a hand to offer in shake, she shook her elbow instead. Nice kid, if a bit foolhardy at times. She didn't mind picking a fight with older kids who could flatten her with (or without) a highly polished beater's bat.
That took guts.

Tugging on her hair absently for a moment, she turned her violet gaze to meet the new girl when she spoke again. What was her name? Gwenivere? Kurumi should probably have introduced herself by now anyway, seeing as they had been standing next to each other for quite some time now talking, but first things first. "As tempting as that idea sounds..." she said with a small laugh. OH! Hey! Kurumi had actually managed to catch on to sarcasm this time. She was joking, right?
Only she never finished her sentence because Selina was back on the hitting idea. "Selina...you do that and I'll never bake you red velvet cookies again." There. Done. Hopefully. Selina was sort of insane right now, more so than usual, so it was hard to tell.
And then Selina was back on the Beater's bat...and all Kurumi could muster right now was a muffled sigh and a slight eyeroll in Gideon's direction. And Lewis thought Kurumi's obsession with dragons was a bit intense and potentially unhealthy?
And the bossy Gryffindor who had yet to introduce herself, who was clearly friends with Selina and yet couldn't seem to manage her intelligently, seemed to be loosening up a bit. There was ALMOST a smile. That was something.
Who threatened with cookies, anyway? Betty Crocker?

In fact, violence in moderation built character and these kids seemed like they needed some character kicked into them. Alas, there would be no Mortimer this time around to help assist her in the process. Good ol' faithful was stolen from her.
But she did seem to hear what Kurumi had threatened when the violence continued to float in the conversation. No red velvet cookies? The color nearly drained from the girl's entire face. Those were the most delicious cookies that Merlin had ever put on this good earth. What had she done to deserve such a sever and harsh punishment. Her blue eyes shot open in shock as she attempted to reason with her extremiest best friend, "N-no cookies? What kind of inhuman person are you? I haven't done ANYTHING to spurn such hatred from you." This was the straw that broke the camels back. First Mortimer, now this. The redhead was in serious need of a tissue.
Her piercing blue eyes were slightly kissed with tears when Genevieve spoke again. Puling herself and her emotions together to the best of her ability, she digested the idea of a reward. That was actually a brilliant idea. Most people did not respond to fear beyond just getting afraid- although Selina was very touched by the compliment that Genevieve payed her about the chimera- so an award would give people a push. The more that she thought about this whole idea, the more that she was starting to truly entertain it as a reality.
She wiped her ear and looked expectantly at the older student, "You, erm, really think that the whole reward thing would work?" Then she turned around and looked at Gideon and Kurumi, "I like her. She's rational. This is a woman who KNOWS how to find a beater bat." Which was such a hard skill to come by these days.
Oh, Merlin. There was crying. Genevieve glanced around with enormous eyes, willing SOMEONE to step in and make this nonsense stop. There was no crying in Quidditch, and certainly not in bat kidnapping, and definitely NOT in cookie-related threats.
"I absolutely do think a reward will work. How much are you willing to offer?" And look at that. She'd made herself a sort-of-friend on her very first day. Hard to believe anyone found Genevieve's rationality to be her most notable quality. "Call me Sherlock and tell me about how it went missing, then."

Alexa nearly giggled when the girl shook her elbow. This girl was just about one of the older older kids who wasn't being all upset at her and yelling at her--she had even encouraged her bravery....even if it was only done subtly....
The next thing she said Had Lex gaping widly as she stared up at her. How did this girl know her weakness....? The sweet deliciousness that was chocolate frogs...SHE HAD TO HAVE THEM!! And the girl was offering three! She had to fight to keep some kind of composure but the mention of chocolate frogs had already weakened her resolve to create any more mischief.
"It's a deal!" She barely managed to spit out through the shock....she wanted them chocolate frogs and if she had to tie Felix to her then she was prepared to do just that!

Ronnie laughed at his reaction. She then grinned. "Good! I'll call ya it for now on then." she said with a nod. "So, you're a first year, right?" she asked, wanting to make sure.
Dylan raised his eyebrows as she laughed, so she found him funny or was she just laughing just like that? he didnt know what the reason for her laugh was but he smiled anyways cause it was just nice that she laughed. There werent many people that enjoyed his company and this girl seemed to so that was a good thing. Even Alexa and Ariella did. Ok so he was going to be called Dill Pickles now by Ronnie. He nodded "Yeah I am, which is why I got into trouble for making a mistake. Gosh I am only new here how was I supposed to know that they had to stay inside their cages, they were annoying us by meowing alot so we let them out. Next thing you know.. up the train all of us and down here a punishment" he shook his head as he ran over the events in his head again.

Ronnie frowned. "I'm sorry about that, that's really too bad. You guys didn't know, so they should take it a little more easy on ya." she said. Some people!"I wonder why the pets chose to go up on the train in first place.." she wondered out loud. That was odd. If she let Oliver out, he'd probably walk around and stretch his legs. . . not go up and hop on top of a train. That was just crazy!
"So, what house are you hoping to get into?" she asked, changing the subject. He seemed a bit upset about the whole thing and she wanted to get his mind off it. That'd be terrible to be upset on the first day of Hogwarts!

Dylan nodded "I know! I agree with you, didn't need to punish us for things we didn't know!" he shook his head.. oh wells what was done was done no use moaning about it now.. it wasnt going to change what had happened. He looked at her "My friend had an owl in her cage, they went for it popping open the cage. Owl goes to the top and cats go straight after it up to the top, and we, wanting to be as heroic as possible went up after them." and ended up getting punished for it.
He looked at her as she asked him what house he would want to be in "Any house without those two girls in it, wouldn't want to be punished again for just sitting down in a chair" he said still a little upset but looking at Ronnie he knew they didnt need to hear his whining about the punishment. "But Gryffindor or Ravenclaw sound good.. or even Hufflepuff" he said to her as he wondered what house he would get.

So she awkwardly played with her hair a little bit before saying slowly,"Well...I just realized something...."
She pouted her lower lip saying,"This is your last time going back to Hogwarts.." Violet then suddenly wrapped her arms around him, saying frantically,"I am NOT happy about this Mr. Gert! It makes me very upset and distraught that I will not be seeing you next year! It breaks my heart! This is not alright!"
Oh...that was the reason.
And then suddenly she threw her arms around him and hugged him tight while speaking her thoughts outloud and admitting her feelings over his iminentfuture departure. "Aye...it is sad," Gideon admitted in his own agreement. "But I'm far from gone yet. Still have one more year of me, Violet. No sadness yet...please." The seventh year wasn't sure he could handle it yet.

When they boy spoke up she nearly sighed in relief. "Thank you!" she couldn't emphasize her gratitude enough for him saying that there would be no hitting...that really made things better.
"Hopefully she listens to you because I don't think I did anything slap worthy." She said, eyeing the redhead momentarily, hoping she got the point. Violence was never the answer unless she was the one resorting to it and seeing as these kids could all have easily taken her--especially scary bat girl she was sure that this situation could do well without it.
Then he said there would be no tying up either. She couldn't help but smile. This guy seemed to be saying all the right things to get her out of the kind of punishment that only deranged people thought up.

It was clear his calm words offered some comfort to the young girl, the boy nodding at her words of thanks. "Yer welcome," Gideon said as he watched her, glancing sideways at his girlfriend as Selina was mentioned. "Oh I think she will," he mused absently thinking on what could be done to stop her if she went to do something wrong. Though when Kurumi spoke up about taking away the cookies, he had to bite the inside of his cheek to keep from chuckling.
Way to go Kurumi!
He caught his fellow prefect's look his way and gathered the meaning behind it as best he could. The chaser returning it with a look of understand. Yep...Selina was potential very nuts, but they put up with her all the same. Even when it sometimes appeared they were a glutton for punishment like today trying to keep her from getting too far out of control.

That took guts.
"Try to make it to Hogwarts without getting in trouble. Bet you... 3 chocolate frogs you can't do it."
And the bossy Gryffindor who had yet to introduce herself, who was clearly friends with Selina and yet couldn't seem to manage her intelligently, seemed to be loosening up a bit. There was ALMOST a smile. That was something.
Who threatened with cookies, anyway? Betty Crocker?
Oh, Merlin. There was crying. Genevieve glanced around with enormous eyes, willing SOMEONE to step in and make this nonsense stop. There was no crying in Quidditch, and certainly not in bat kidnapping, and definitely NOT in cookie-related threats.
"I absolutely do think a reward will work. How much are you willing to offer?" And look at that. She'd made herself a sort-of-friend on her very first day. Hard to believe anyone found Genevieve's rationality to be her most notable quality. "Call me Sherlock and tell me about how it went missing, then."
Kurumi's threat certainly worked though, the reaction she got from Selina was priceless and Gideon moved closer to the redhead as he noticed the moisture in her eyes. His own stomach sinking hating to see her soo upset. Okay so he wasn't heartless and knew this was hurting her deep.
He shrugged at the question about the reward, not really sure what help it would serve. But anything was better then just having Selina worry over it, and making a fool of herself in the process. And Selina certainly seemed to go with it...and Genevieve in general so maybe it was a good thing. "Maybe it wouldn't hurt," Gideon replied offering some agreement though what type of reward was another question entirely.
Phabian's patience was running out. Mostly because Quinn kept bringing up these subjects about caring and having a heart. Of course, Phabian had both of those and more than anyone thought. He's always been near Kennedy through out his entire life. From afar, but always there. If that didn't count as caring then he didn't know what else would. Quinn was just talking without any real evidence or clue and that's what wore his patience out.
"You really don't know what you're saying, Quinn," Phabian said, slowly, shaking his head. His hand gripped his wand tighter. If it wasn't for Beverly in his arms, there'd be spells flying all over the place by now. Oh, so now he was the idiot. "Mistakes happen," and then he smirked, "your mother should know since she made four of them." And yes, he was implying that all her children were that, along with marrying Audric. Ciara could have been great, if only she hadn't grown so...so weak.
Did this guy ever shut his trap? Phabian found himself tuning him out as Beverly settled her head on the crook of his neck and her small hands cling to him. It was her that was keeping him grounded and Quinn should feel fortunate of that.
Then Audric Quinn joined them. Of course, Phabian had not expected anything less from this man. He, unlike his wife, seemed a better fit parent...from his son's point of view. And then he started blabbing away just like his son. He felt Beverly's evened out breath tickle his neck. Ah, she was sleeping. "Audric, nice seeing you," he said, not really meaning it. He still had manners. Phabian then glanced around and shrugged his shoulder. "If someone ever dared hurt my children I wouldn't worry about the public." Nope, but then that was him. He wasn't the docile type when it came to his blood. Plus, he was just trying to get to Audric, it was and most likely will always be one of Phabian's favorite pass time.
Hector eyed Audric as he appeared. Just like his brother, he had a special dislike for him. Anyway, he wasn't greeted and Phabian made sure to point out manners. At least, the Jones brothers didn't forget etiquette in times of boring old drama. Unlike Phabian, Hector wasn't going to greet anyone. In fact, the tip of his fingers itched a whole lot more and it was becoming difficult to ignore his craving for a duel.
So the public was the only thing holding Audric back? Heh. Fool. Hector went to stand next to his brother, his arms at either side of his and ready for anything. "If your afraid of an audience we could always move this to a more comfortable location," he smirked at Audric. Oh yes, that was a challenge.
He could feel Yvonne's gaze on him. She knew if Phabian and him were to duel, Xavier would be affected by this in so many ways he couldn't control. It was his back up plan. Hector had not come here unprepared.
Yvonne has never seen Krys this angry. Sure, at one point she imagined it to be hot, but right now all she wanted to do was to comfort him, but it was impossible at this moment.
Then her uncle Hector said something that caused her eyes to snap toward him. He wanted to duel? Did he know what that meant? Of course, he did and she knew why he was doing this. "No," she said, shaking her head at him. "No...just no. No dueling." There was no way she was going to allow that.
Kennedy rubbed his forehead. This was getting WAY out of control and it was giving him a huge headache. He took a step back...then another...and another. He needed to get away before he blew up and either yelled or sided with someone. There were so many questions he needed to ask his father, yet he couldn't stand the man right now.
He slowly retreated and mixed into the crowd. He needed some time to cool down and standing here with a bunch of crazy adults wasn't going to help.

He slowly retreated and mixed into the crowd. He needed some time to cool down and standing here with a bunch of crazy adults wasn't going to help.
Krys could see that he was getting to Wayne... and he was enjoying it in some way. "On the contrary, I know exactly what I'm saying." And part of him was doing it just to rile him up. He wanted an excuse to duel this man. He wanted to hurt him in some way... But he knew, really, that this was not a wise choice... he just couldn't help it.
He glared at Hector. If there was going to be dueling he wanted in on it. He was about to declare this when Yvonne spoke. No dueling. He glanced at her... he wanted to ignore it, to disobey her, but he couldn't. He just couldn't. So he shut his mouth.
Four mistakes... did that mean..? Did Phabian know about the child..? The one his dad had been yelling about? He eyed the man, about to say something but then Kennedy was walking off, "Get on the train..." he said as the kid young man passed him. "And... have a good year."
Nice seeing you."Now now, Phabian, there's no point adding more lies to this mess." Audric said, still retaining his calm. He was well aware that Phabian Wayne had never liked him, or even entertained the idea of allowing himself to tolerate him. He shrugged off Phabian's attempt to rile him. "And that, Wayne, is where we differ." He wondered if his unfaltering calm attitude would annoy the man... hopefully. "It seems I've always been the better man." He smirked and ran his free hand through his hair. "Or would you rather I tried to duel you now? With your daughter in your arms?" That was what he seemed to be implying... though it was something Audric would never do.
And then Hector spoke. Honestly, these brothers were... Audric couldn't think of the right word. The only one he'd ever got along with was Xavier... "It's not the audience I'm worried about, Hector." he said. "I, unlike either of you, have spent my life working to protect and save innocent people. And I'm not about to undo it." As for the other location. Audric wanted to say yes... he really did... he wanted to take both of the brothers somewhere to duel... but that would just be idiotic. And Audric Quinn was not an idiot. "I really don't think it's me you're going to have to worry about." And then Yvonne spoke. "The lady has spoken." Audric's wand disappeared back into its holster and he put his thumbs loosely in his pockets. Go on, attack an unarmed man, I dare you.
The train was here. Thank Merlin. "Come on 'Rora. Get your stuff." Rowan said, searching in his pockets for something. "Here." He passed her the calming draught and walked next to her as they crossed the platform to the train. He lifted her trunk on for her and passed up the owl cage and cat basket.
"Listen to me, 'Rora." He put his hands on his shoulders. "We will fix this. Don't worry. When you come back for Christmas and your brother's wedding it'll be all over." Hopefully. Rowan hated Phabian Wayne... it was a dislike that stemmed from Hogwarts... and it wasn't leaving soon.
Aurora allowed herself to be guided towards the train, draining the calming draught when it was given to her. She glanced over to where the others were stood, chewing her lip nervously. Kryspin was angry... but her dad was there. So it couldn't get too bad could it? No.
"Uncle Ro..." But she didn't know what to say. She took the animals from him and rested them just inside the door of the train before hugging him tight. "Tell Krys and dad that I'll write as soon as I get there." And she took her stuff to a compartment. She knew she had to stay out of sight of Wayne at least until the train had left. Urgh she was ANGRY now... the calming draught had stopped her panicking but it seemed the panic was only hiding this... Why did he have to come and ruin this? Why did he have to turn up and just... urgh.
Once he had seen that Aurora was safely on the train, Seraphinus motioned for Ignata to wait where she was and walked over to the conflict. "Everything alright?" He asked as he was joined by Rowan. "The kids are on the train now," Well, he hoped Kennedy was. "So I think we should all leave." ANY OBJECTIONS?

"I'm happy even just to get to see her like this, in fact I think she's adorable sleeping." Or more like she was just adorable twenty four seven.
PURPLE! EEP! OF COURSE!
Renesmee just continued beaming. "Well I absolutely love it." she nodded. Issy looked really beautiful all dressed up and you could tell even now that one day this baby would be just drop, dead gorgeous.
"Im..I'm so nervous." mumbled Ness quickly, not being able to help herself. This term was something exciting, but she was just so nervous and all she could think about were how difficult OWLs were going to be.
Amelia was absolutely beaming now. It was awesome that she had made it here on time and managed to catch one of her best friends before she left. Otherwise she wouldn't have seen Ness until Christmas. Still the case now, but at least there was a nice platform goodbye and she could watch the train depart. "I'm sorry Zayden couldn't make it. You know how it is with him... always working." Sigh. She was glad more money was coming in, but it made her miss her husband a lot during the days.
Looking down at her daughter in the pram now, Amelia was inwardly gushing. "Isn't she just the cutest thing? And her little stick out ears like daddy's." hah! So freaking cuuuute. :33 It was so hard not to pick the little girl up and hold her and snuggle her. "She just loves you, Ness." How could she honestly not love her godmother? "I'm glad you love it."
Bending down a little to adjust Isabel's hat a little, Amelia heard Ness mutter about being nervous. Awww. OWL year was always hard. She knew that well. "It will be okay, Ness." It just was a shame she wouldn't be there at the school to offer any assistance in studying. Oh well.
Ella thought about this, a small frown on her face. "Well...if you didn't stop him I guess...that has to mean something, yeah?" The small blonde had only ever kissed one boy so she wasn't exactly an expert on the subject or anything. What she DID know is that if she didn't want to be kissed, she wouldn't let someone continue doing it. Laura clearly kind of liked that Lucas kid...which made Ella feel incredibly bad for Oakey. "It's okay, Laura...it'll be okay." She said reassuringly, though she wasn't sure how okay things would be. She gave her friend a squeeze, hoping the hug would help.
Laura looked at Ella. "I have no idea what it means." Laura really was confused. "All I know is I feel really mean and horrible, like I'm a bad person." Laura returned Ella's hug. "It just happened but well I'm dating Oakey and I can so see him shouting at me but oh well, I'd best get it over with." Laura sighed. "I'll have a word with him on the train, hopefully I can explain it too him."
sorry for the lateness. I tried to move it along:/

She had kept that with her because she was sure that it would end up in splinters if she kept it with her trunk and other belongings... and she knew that it had to last until Christmas.
She had planned pretty well for this trip, wearing her school skirt and blouse underneath her muggle jacket until she reached the platform where she swapped her muggle jacket for her robes. The redhead seemed to have some bounce in her step as she made her way down the platform in search of a bench to sit on until it was time to leave. She felt all important since she was already in her robes, unlike so many on the platform.
As she got closer to the end of the platform, the now third year spotted a bench that wasn't fully occupied so she headed over, her broom resting on one of her shoulders. The girl there seemed occupied at the moment... looking at who knows what. "Oy! What are you looking at?" Lily said sliding onto the bench so that she sat next to the girl, accidentally knocking the other girl's broom onto the ground as she took her own broom off of her shoulder. "Sorry 'bout that..." Quickly, the redhead picked up the other broom and did her best to return it to it's position from before.
What just happened? Cardigan noticed that someone had sat down beside her, not taking much record of it. She then heard something clatter to the ground, not too pleasantly. Then, she realized... OMIGOSH. HER BROOM. SHE JUST. CAN'T EVEN. She can't believe it!! What if it was scratched? What's if it was chipped? No. Just no. I mean, it wasn't even that far of a drop. No need to be dramatic. Just breathe in, breathe out. Nothing could've happened that was unrepairable. The person hadthen said sorry, after they picked up the broom and put it back where it was. Good. "Don't worry," She said, looking up and smiling at the person. She then let out a quick gasp.
"Is that you Lily?!" Cardigan asked dramatically, quite surprised. This sure looked like her friend!! Well, a third year version of her. They hadn't really seen each other since their first year. She hadn't really seen any of her first year buddies at all since then. Well, that was SURELY gonna change! She felt quite lost without a big group of friends to guide her. That was one of her many flaws. She wasn't very independent, in most ways, and needed
people to like her, or she just felt useless. What's life without friends?! Good thing she ran into Lily, she thought. "We should sit together on the train!" She said, cheerfully.
