She took a moment to reminisce how she met everyone. Her favorite was Noah. She'd pulled him into an adventure the first moment they had met. In fact, most of her friends she had met in Diagon Alley.

"Are you excited though?"

In no way was Noah ready for summer to end. He was still wishing their trip to Hawaii had lasted longer, and now here he was, saying goodbye to his family to board the train for another school year.

Evelyn was clingy, but eventually he managed to get lose and nudge Skylar toward the train as well, waving and shouting over his shoulder his final words. "Sis?" Where'd she gone? She'd just been there. "Nevermind."

Dropping his stuff off in the luggage car, Noah headed down the train corridor in search of Noelle, turtles (in their plastic carrier) in hand. Grey eyes peeked into each passing compartment on the way, searching for his girlfriend and possibly his sister if he saw her on the way.

Nope, not that one... nope.... definitely not...

"There y'are." The rising fourth year grinned widely, entering the compartment and setting aside his bag and the turtles in favor of kissing her on the cheek and plopping beside her, only then noticing the ickle in the room. "Oh, hey there. How are ya?"

Eyeballing them they both must be gryffindors even tho the boy acted more like a hufflepuff, Echo saw the girl look her way. Well... she wants to punch someone, she would actually love to see that happen. Might as well weigh in on the conversation. "can't be too bad kid, you don't have to cry"

Ohh she's Ohh so sensitive. At least she was trying..... ish.....

You know what would've been nice?

Tissues.

Wiping snot on his arm was making it feel weird. Though before he could raid his luggage, even though he was pretty sure he didn't have any, his body slumped against the wall in defeat as another girl entered the compartment. Yet thankfully he knew her, sorta. "Hi Dora," he mumbled, sounding clogged up.

Lance shook his head, sniffling again. Didn't want to talk about it. Or punch anyone.

"Do either of you have tissues?"



The other girl got the stink eye, but she would get to her in a moment. Rummaging was happening right now. Dora finally found one sad looking tissue at the bottom of her bag and passed it over to Lanecelot. Lance. She liked Lance better.

"I promise it's clean. " She hoped so anyway. And Gryffindor she may be, but she wasn't one to pry, okay? With a nod at Lance she quickly turned her attention back to the other girl.

"He's not a kid, you know. That's a bit condescending." Just in case she didn't know.

HAIR FLIP!

But Dora smiled nonetheless. She wasn't being RUDE, just correcting.

"I'm pretty sure it's not just you. They look like Belle's age." So maybe that was a bit of a hyperbole but it was necessary. Speaking of siblings, where was his little cousin?

"Where's Julie? I don't suppose your parents would approve of you ditching her on her first train ride." He raised an eyebrow at his cousin.

With a roll of his eyes and a dramatic sigh, Blaise lifted and shoved Bentley's feet away and spread himself along the seat opposite him. No way he was letting him ride THAT comfortably the whole way....not that he planned to lie here the whole way either. Nope. Plans...which meant dutifully passing this one off to Phillip when the time came.

"They wouldn't approve of my dislike of magic either but here I sit, resentful and unremorseful." He retorted, giving a lazy wave of his hand to settle his quill. They were in this compartment alone, there was nothing that needed recording.

"When she starts acting like a decent human being, I might go find her and sit with her but she's probably already made so many eager little friends that I don't think I'd last more than a minute in there with 'em." So he'd just have to find her at the feast--unless she got put into another house then he supposed he'd have to go find her after. Merlin's beard this was a lot of work.


This train thing?

It was weird.

Fact.

Wouldn't it make more sense just to have assigned portkeys to everyone at a certain time? It did to him. But clearly not to any officials at Hogwarts. Slipping past a group of people in the corridor Takeru glanced into yet another compartment. It was full. Again.

At this he was beginning to consider taking a seat in the hall. It wasn't like he would take up that much space, plus the only item he had on him was his ukulele. After brushing his hair out of his eyes (and being very careful not to touch the large bruise on the left side of his face) the third year took a few steps forward glanced into one last compartment.

Not full?

And huh...he knew one of those guys.

Not bothering to knock he pushed the door open he walked in and sat down on the couch. "Hello."

MunchyBubbles 08-29-2016 07:48 AM

Feel free to snag?
 
Azura had hoped it might have been a little less crowded in the back of the train, all the forward compartments seemed rather full, and so she had moved forwards the back in hope that her search for an empty, (hey she would even take a mostly empty ) cabin might be found.

But so far, no luck. The crush of people back here was almost worst then the front!

She sighed softly as she struggled through a group of her classmates (saying excuses me politely of course) Her hair rather disheveled as she managed to make it though the crush of people..

She leaned on a wall for a moment, gently patting down her hair as she looked around and ohh!

Hey was that?

It was!

An empty compartment! She hurried towards it and slid the door open before, putting her stuff down and looking around with a smile..

Yeah this would do..

He'd get better at it, he knew it. Things were already better than last year, weren't they?

Small steps, though, because many small steps lead to a big step. Didn't they? That's what Pam always told him anyways. But besides that, he felt he'd progressed enough during the summer. He did, after all, throw away his beloved best friend and teddy bear, Ted. It was time. His mother was right as much as he despised her for it. Thirteen was old, and most people didn't have teddy bears at such ages, but again Ethan never felt like most people. He knew himself to always be different and at times it bothered him but at times he couldn't wish for anything else.

Today, he felt the former. He felt somewhat secluded by his differentiation and, as a result, he did want to try and fit in so that he could laugh and socialise with the others. Yet, the platform had been enough for now. He needed some space, even if it was just for one hour. Small steps, he just needed to keep encouraging himself.

Venturing to the back of the train, he began hunting for an empty apartment. This was always the most difficult thing in a train of hundreds of students, but there had to be one. It was still early, wasn't it? Surely most kids hadn't boarded yet?

Nope, not that one-not that one---wait was that Azura?

The third year took a step back and looked inside the practically empty compartment. What was he to do? Risk losing his space to greet her, or was he to pretend he had not seen her?

Although, it was the more challenging choice he chose to do what he felt would be socially correct. He entered the compartment and anxiously smiled.

"Hi-Az-Azura." his voice was quiet but audible.

Mercia 08-29-2016 11:33 AM

Andrei had walked and walked down the train, he was always like this on public transport, could never decide where to sit. He was glad to be free of the weight of his trunk and free of panic after just making it in time. He darted into a free compartment, this was it! first year at Hogwarts!

The view out of the window was a fairly empty platform, not many people were getting on this far down at all, he looked down at his wand and his thoughts were filled with what the wand maker had told him about its characteristics, how the wand was very suited to defensive charms and spells. Every now and then a student would walk past causing him to look up half expectantly, half nervously .... social skills were difficult

Kimi looked at the boy who had just entered the compartment and said "Oh hey i am good, I am Kimi" Kimi thought it would be good to introduce himself to the boy who had just entered it was obvious that he knew Noelle already

He wished he could just do it over with someone else, someone that wasn't just messing with him.

Bradson Somerhalder found his way back into the back of the train. He wasn't planning on sitting back here but everywhere else was full. The Hufflepuff boy looked around to see if there was any place to sit.

Perhaps it had been a mistake leaving her initial compartment to make her way towards the food trolley to appease her need for chocolate dipped crisps, but there was no sense in lamenting the decision now. What was done was done and she would have to make due with whatever spot she could find. She was also feeling a bit timid about continuously peaking into compartments on the chance that, well, there were just certain reminders she would like to avoid for a bit longer.

"Hey Brady," she called out to the younger Hufflepuff. "Everywhere down this way full as well?" She eyed the back wall of the car and tried her best to gauge the distance between it and the nearest compartment door. "Hmmm..."

When life gave you lemons, right?

Except he had done this once before. Sigh. She was gonna have to retrain her ferret.

Hadley chased after both Cornelius and Asher, all the way to the end of the car. She smiled as she saw what awaited them. A closed car door. Asher had cornered himself. The ferret reached the end and paused, running back and forth from one end of the door to the other looking for an opening. "Corner him!"

But that wasn't really necessary. Hads caught up to both of them a second later and scooped the ferret up, holding him securely by the scruff of his neck. "You little troublemaker." She wasn't letting go of him until they were securely in a compartment.

"Thanks for the assist," she said, turning to the boy. It wasn't everyone that would help chase down a ferret. "I'm Hads and this is Asher." She'd give him a high five, but she had her hands full at the moment.

Oh wow...oh WOW!!

This girl was GOOD at giving orders. She had Cornelius running about after the ferret and then attempting to corner it. WOW WOW. Definitely should be careful around this one. She was a like a commander, ready with the next move. Ready to strike!

Cornelius was actually having fun.

When the ferret was successfully cornered and captured, he absently ran his fingers through his curls. "What a rush that one gave me." Because chasing was always entertaining, apparently.

"No problem, it's lucky I'm always on the lookout." Or so he says. "Nice to meet you, Hats. I'm Cornelius." Grin.

"Oi watch it!" Bentley groaned and pulled himself up on the chair just a bit. He knew what his mother would say if she saw how he was slouching. Bentley sit properly you'll end up with a bad back and bad posture...and she'd go on and on.

As soon as Blaise sat down he threw his feet up on his cousin's lap. He was going to keep his feet up and there was nothing Blaise could do about it.

"You're terrible and I'm ashamed to be related to you." Whatever it was that was causing Blaise's resentment towards magic, didn't seem to be going away any time soon.

"Eh, unless she's like Heath who's only friends are house-elves." He sighed deeply. His brother was such an odd boy sometimes.

Bentley looked up when their compartment door opened. He expected to see Phillip but was instead greeted by a stranger. He looked from the boy to Blaise then back to the boy again.

"Errrm..intruder alert?" His face didn't even look remotely familiar to him, not that he knew everyone at Hogwarts mind you, even if he spent majority of his time taking candid of randoms around the school.

"Yeah," Hadley agreed, grinning knowingly. "He's good at that." She leaned down and gave the ferret a kiss on his forehead. "He's a character alright."

Asher squirmed, trying to get free of Hadley's grip and back to his perch on her shoulder. "Nope, not until I get your leash on you." As entertaining as chasing him might be, she had no interest in doing it the whole train ride. Plus the risk of injury or worse to Asher running around like that. "He's usually better behaved than this."

She nodded along. It was a good thing he reacted as quickly as he did. Wait did he just call her...? Hads laughed. "Oh, no. Hads. Not Hats. It's short for Hadley." She grinned. "Nice to meet you, Cornelius. I'd give you a high five, but..." She held up Asher showing her hands were full.

Harvey breathed a sigh of relief when he finally managed to make it onto the train. He was certain the excessive hugs and kisses from his sisters and mother were only meant to embarrass him, rather than to express any true feelings. Well, perhaps except for his mother. But still. She'd already sent three kids to Hogwarts before him, surely she'd know by now there was no such need for public displays of affection?!

So thinking, he walked into a compartment at random and collapsed onto a seat before realising he wasn't alone.

"Oh, hi," he smiled at the boy opposite him. "I'm sorry, I didn't realise someone was in here, I'm Harvey Jarvis, I'm just starting out," he extended a hand and speaking too quickly, as was usual when his stomach was tight with knots.

He felt nervous. He hoped the boy hadn't wanted to be alone. He didn't particularly want to search the train for another seat.

This boy was going to do okay at Hogwarts, Noelle could feel it.

Smiling at him, she was about to say more to him when someone else entered the compartment. Her boyfriend, Noah... Aka NoahBear. Her smile broadened heftily and she stood and blushes when he kissed her on the cheek. She always got those tingly butterflies in her stomach when he was around.

"About time you got here. I was going to send my new friend, Kimi, out to get you if I didn't see you soon." Noelle said to Noah. She was playing of course. But that was a good way to introduce him.

"Kimi, this is Noah Diggory. My best friend and boyfriend." Okay, this was cool... Introducing her boyfriend.

PuppySara 08-29-2016 03:07 PM

Grab him if you want
 
Phillipe sighed as he walked onto the train. He didn't want to be here this year really, and he was grouchy that his mother had forced him to... She basically had to shove him onto the train because he'd fought as much as he could.

The fifteen year old sighed and went on a search for an open compartment. He glanced at a few of the other students, thinking maybe this year he should try to be social... He hadn't had to his first four years... He'd had Sara, his best friend, and his girlfriend for nearly three years now. Now she had to stay home for her own personal reasons, and he would be alone this year...

He sighed, his anger with his mother fading into sadness thinking about her... He really didn't know what he was going to do this year without her.

The train had started to move, he watched London roll away, slowly at first so that passing objects were in easy focus, soon they had hit green countryside.

Andrei had just started to zone out when a boy who looked his age appeared infront of him, apparently at first unaware that he was there " Hi Harvey" he said with a slight smile, "I'm Andrei.... a first year too" The boy was the first fellow firstie that Andrei had met. He returned Harveys handshake and leant back into his chair, "Looking forward to school?" This was fairly good small talk by Andrei's standards.

Feet on his lap. Was that the price he'd have to pay to keep this entire seat to himself? Given all other options, this didn't seem like the worst and the Gryffindor couldn't be bothered with getting into a feet throwing bout with his cousin.

Blaise shrugged, not particularly put off by Bentley's chiding. "Can't be that terrible and you can't be that ashamed if we're still thick as thieves, mate. Clearly you like the bad company." But um....what was that about Julie....uhhh...."No." Just no. "Heath has always been very....special. We know this, but Julie will bust into compartments with perfect strangers and decide they're all friends. I think she'll be fine without me for a few hours."

Facing the door the way he was, he saw the moment the compartment door swung open. Make no mistake, he was all set to tell anyone not named Phillip Romalotti to shove off but the face caught his interesting. He knew him.

A quick look at the boy's face and he could already tell how wonderfully the school year was going for him. "I see you're already making friends." He said, gesturing to the bruise that hadn't been there when he'd last seen him.

"Bentley, Tak, Tak, Bentley." His work here was done.

Although, it was the more challenging choice he chose to do what he felt would be socially correct. He entered the compartment and anxiously smiled.

"Hi-Az-Azura." his voice was quiet but audible.

Azura had gotten her music notebook out in an attempt to take her mind off of Chris and whatever was happening with him and Mia.. She rubbed at her forehead for a moment before she took out her Emerald quill and looked down at the blank sheet music in front of her..

She hummed a few notes, before taking a breath and writing them on the music staff.. She needed to compose a few more pieces so she could use them for her auditions for Julliard and Wada..

The purple eyed girl was in the middle of softly humming to herself when she heard a quiet voice call out her name and her head instantly lifted..

"Ethan!" She said with a warm smile as she looked up at the shy boy in front of her.. Though.. it was more than that.. Anxiety..

Which she had become rather familiar with lately..

"Hey.. did you want to sit down?" She asked him, wondering how much he wanted to talk or not.. or if he needed a break? She could read? And be quiet.. Would that help?

Andrei had just started to zone out when a boy who looked his age appeared infront of him, apparently at first unaware that he was there " Hi Harvey" he said with a slight smile, "I'm Andrei.... a first year too" The boy was the first fellow firstie that Andrei had met. He returned Harveys handshake and leant back into his chair, "Looking forward to school?" This was fairly good small talk by Andrei's standards.

Harvey smiled, feeling somewhat relieved.

"It's nice to meet you."

It had been a bit daunting seeing so many older students around. They all seemed so... sure. It was reassuring to meet someone who was in the same boat as he was.

"Yeah, I am," Harvey said, then paused. "Though I'm a bit worried, too. I have three sisters who went before me so I've heard a lot about it, and it just feels a bit scary to actually be going there, you know? How about you, looking forward to it?"

Pause.

"Do you have any siblings?"

"Oi watch it!" Bentley groaned and pulled himself up on the chair just a bit. He knew what his mother would say if she saw how he was slouching. Bentley sit properly you'll end up with a bad back and bad posture...and she'd go on and on.

As soon as Blaise sat down he threw his feet up on his cousin's lap. He was going to keep his feet up and there was nothing Blaise could do about it.

"You're terrible and I'm ashamed to be related to you." Whatever it was that was causing Blaise's resentment towards magic, didn't seem to be going away any time soon.

"Eh, unless she's like Heath who's only friends are house-elves." He sighed deeply. His brother was such an odd boy sometimes.

Bentley looked up when their compartment door opened. He expected to see Phillip but was instead greeted by a stranger. He looked from the boy to Blaise then back to the boy again.

"Errrm..intruder alert?" His face didn't even look remotely familiar to him, not that he knew everyone at Hogwarts mind you, even if he spent majority of his time taking candid of randoms around the school.

Feet on his lap. Was that the price he'd have to pay to keep this entire seat to himself? Given all other options, this didn't seem like the worst and the Gryffindor couldn't be bothered with getting into a feet throwing bout with his cousin.

Blaise shrugged, not particularly put off by Bentley's chiding. "Can't be that terrible and you can't be that ashamed if we're still thick as thieves, mate. Clearly you like the bad company." But um....what was that about Julie....uhhh...."No." Just no. "Heath has always been very....special. We know this, but Julie will bust into compartments with perfect strangers and decide they're all friends. I think she'll be fine without me for a few hours."

Facing the door the way he was, he saw the moment the compartment door swung open. Make no mistake, he was all set to tell anyone not named Phillip Romalotti to shove off but the face caught his interesting. He knew him.

A quick look at the boy's face and he could already tell how wonderfully the school year was going for him. "I see you're already making friends." He said, gesturing to the bruise that hadn't been there when he'd last seen him.

"Bentley, Tak, Tak, Bentley." His work here was done.



Intruder? Was that what he was considered now?

Shifting the ukulele into his lap Tak leaned back into the chair and focused his gaze onto the boy he didn't know. Brown hair and green eyes- he was probably the type that girls went after. Would that make him a jerk? Was that why he called him out like that?

His eyes never wavered until Blaise spoke up.

"Yeah. Loads of friends." The sarcasm oozed from his lips but not in a venomous way. He wasn't attacking Blaise. Just confirming the unfortunate circumstances he had been thrown into.

Was he suppose to say hello again? Because he already had. The thirteen year olds eyes shifted once more from Blaise to Bentley. "I can leave if you want."

I'm so sorry for her >. <

You know what would've been nice?

Tissues.

Wiping snot on his arm was making it feel weird. Though before he could raid his luggage, even though he was pretty sure he didn't have any, his body slumped against the wall in defeat as another girl entered the compartment. Yet thankfully he knew her, sorta. "Hi Dora," he mumbled, sounding clogged up.

Lance shook his head, sniffling again. Didn't want to talk about it. Or punch anyone.

"Do either of you have tissues?"

Echo clearly picked the wrong compartment.. surrounded by Gryffindors, not the way she wanted to spend her train ride.. "Nope" she didn't have any tissues for you cry baby. And if that girl wanted to toss her a hair flip then Echo had no issue sending on back her way.

The other girl got the stink eye, but she would get to her in a moment. Rummaging was happening right now. Dora finally found one sad looking tissue at the bottom of her bag and passed it over to Lanecelot. Lance. She liked Lance better.

"I promise it's clean. " She hoped so anyway. And Gryffindor she may be, but she wasn't one to pry, okay? With a nod at Lance she quickly turned her attention back to the other girl.

"He's not a kid, you know. That's a bit condescending." Just in case she didn't know.

HAIR FLIP!

But Dora smiled nonetheless. She wasn't being RUDE, just correcting.

"Relax Gryffindor" geez it wasn't 24-7 fighting and showing how brave they were. Even if this girl was pretty. " I don't know how old he is... don't need to be all snippy" if this gryffindor wanted Echo to leave and find another place to sit she would be all for it. and maybe her number those love gate things right......

Bentley chuckled. Blaise definitely had a point. There was not one single person he'd rather hang out with than him and Phillip. At one point he thought that, he'd feel that way about Casper but well....Casper made his choice and Bentley made his.

Anyways..he didn't want to think about that..not anymore.

"You're right. I do like bad company...moth to a flame."

The Gryffindor shrugged. "She's your sister, you should know."

Oh? So Blaise knew the unfamiliar guy who made himself comfortable in their compartment. He supposed that would explain why he was bold enough to sit.

And what was he looking at?

Bentley squinted at him.

"Seriously? If you're going to be this high strung you're going to have a hard time at school." Just saying. He stretched lazily. "Besides, if I wanted you to leave, a simple get out would have sufficed."

What was done was done and she would have to make due with whatever spot she could find. She was also feeling a bit timid about continuously peaking into compartments on the chance that, well, there were just certain reminders she would like to avoid for a bit longer.

"Hey Brady," she called out to the younger Hufflepuff. "Everywhere down this way full as well?" She eyed the back wall of the car and tried her best to gauge the distance between it and the nearest compartment door. "Hmmm..."

When life gave you lemons, right?


The teenager yawned and looked around and in some of the compartments. He hadn't thought that he had showed up late. So what if he had talked to a few people along his way back here, it didn't take up that much time. But let's get real what time are all of these students really getting up and showing up on the train? Day one and day two are when the students get up early with no problems but then the rest of the year was totally done for people like him that hated the early morning hours.

He was surprised that he was never late to any morning classes to be honest. Bradson peaked over into a compartment door to see if anyone was there and alas there were people. Boo. Just when he took his head out of the doorway he had heard his name. Brady looked behind him and smiled brightly. "Paige! Hi!" The Scottish boy greeted her cheerfully. He nodded. "Well these two are but I don't know about the ones back there." He gestured a little farther down.

Asher squirmed, trying to get free of Hadley's grip and back to his perch on her shoulder. "Nope, not until I get your leash on you." As entertaining as chasing him might be, she had no interest in doing it the whole train ride. Plus the risk of injury or worse to Asher running around like that. "He's usually better behaved than this."

She nodded along. It was a good thing he reacted as quickly as he did. Wait did he just call her...? Hads laughed. "Oh, no. Hads. Not Hats. It's short for Hadley." She grinned. "Nice to meet you, Cornelius. I'd give you a high five, but..." She held up Asher showing her hands were full.

Cornelius knew of a character himself. "He should meet my Mustard. I'm sure they'll get along." If only said Mustard didn't keep running off to Merlin knows where. What if the little jack-butt had a girlfriend Cornelius didn't know about?

This was an intriguing little scene, one Cornelius could relate to. He watched the ferret struggle to get free again. "Maybe he doesn't like the crowd?" That usually did Mustard in and made the lizard uneasy. All crowds except Slytherin crowds. It's like the lizard knew.

Oh. OOPS.

The boy laughed sheepishly. "Sorry about that, Hads. Hadley." There. Nailed it this time. "Pleasure to meet you. There's an empty compartment there for it you want to let your ferret free." He pointed at the compartment he had spotted student-free.

That tissue was going to do next to nothing, but he gratefully took it anyway. Could always count on a girl's bag or purse for something in need, right? "Thank you," he mumbled, wiping his nose as he looked at the girl across from him. It was so so true, she didn't know anything about him!

Gunna fix that. He stuck out his hand, sniffling softly. "Lancelot McWitty. Fifth year."

Ignore the few shiny snot trails on his arm, yea?

Paige gave the rest of the corridor a cursory look over, a few people moving in and out of compartments as they did, but her eyes kept falling on the back wall of the car where the floor was bathed in the afternoon sunlight. "You opposed to sitting on the floor?" she asked, wiggling the chocolate bar in her hand subtly at him with a smile while nodding her head towards the back. "I've got this bar of chocolate to melt and a bag of potato crisps in my backpack prime for dipping. Don't entirely need a compartment for that."
