Default Back of the Train

There's plenty of seating at the back of the train. Grab a compartment with your friends, it's time to head back to Hogwarts again!

Carson yawned as she made her way through the train to find a compartment. Finally, she found one almost at the COMPLETE back of the train. Of course. Sighing at having not seeing anyone she knew, she pulled her things into the empty compartment and heaved them up onto the luggage rack. She poked her head out the door and looked at the people around her, but still she saw no one completely familiar. She sighed and headed back in.

He supposed, in some way, his protective tendencies toward his younger female friends were probably kinda like what happened with Dylan and Lexi? Except he wouldn't get really bothered over... snuggling, and probably not even dating. So maybe it wasn't that similar after all... Hm.

"As much as I'd like it... I have my doubts about this being a quiet term." He turned the stud the other way, feeling the back of it rub against his earlobe. "Triwizard Tournament, remember? There'll be people from Durmstrang and Beauxbatons about... and the Triwizard Tournament's never gone by quietly."

What with, you know, people dying during it frequently. Maybe he should reconsider throwing his name in.
Lexi smiled at Raiden and nodded her head, she would TRY REALLY HARD to be good this term. "I have never really been BAD anyway. Except for the whole ordeal two terms ago... but that wasn't MY fault," she said and shifted in her seat slightly, but never stopped smiling. She had stunned Raiden and that in turn had caused him to get a hole gouged out of his shoulder. She felt guilty about that. Raiden was total win and she didn't like knowing that she had inadvertently gotten him hurt.

"Are you going to put your name into the Goblet of Fire, Raiden?" Lexi asked very interested. "I totally think you should. It would be amazing to have ETERNAL GLORY," she said rather whimsically.

... and not have gotten it from someone younger.

"I dddon't think we've ever hhhad a quiet year," Jake chuckled, squeezing Lexi's shoulder. "But I only hhhope I manage to ssstay well away from any duhh-drama."


"I was so puhhh-peeved at Reese when she..." Jake broke off. Reese wasn't in his new family, and now he had a little sister, he could compare easier. "When mmmy little sister is old enough fffor a boyfriend, and finds one, I dddon't think I'll be too ch-cheerful, either."
Lexi chuckled slightly and said, "With Dylan threatening to lock me away until I am of age and insisting I need his GUIDANCE, I don't think either of us will have a peaceful year. Raiden, I think you should talk to him... tell him it is okay that I have a boyfriend. I mean, he isn't the picture of innocence after all." She then sighed into Jake and thought that no matter who told Dylan it was okay he still wouldn't give in.

And they itch. He doesnt like things that itch.

Buuuuut he went through the trouble of getting the new wand, might as well "do the right thing" and use the holster. He chewed his inner lip as he looked at the contraption, trying to figure out the simplest way to open it and wear it. He blinked when he detected movement ahead of him, flicking his eyes long enough to see what it was about. He saw the cat. And the girl. Staring at him.

Thinking that they were watching him trying to figure out the holster, he shifted in his seat so that his back partially obstructed their view. He wasnt about to look like an idiot in front of a pretty girl. Or her cat for that matter, because goodness knows if those things could talk.
Sooner or later, Evelyn was going to have to blink…

However, it didn't seem that the boy was going to move any time soon. Actually, he did move, but it was only so his back was now facing her, which in turn, caused her to smirk and sit up right. Leaning back against the seat, the Slytherin continued to stare at the boy, tilting her head to the side slightly as her eyes flickered to whatever he was doing; supposedly doing something with the holster, though she couldn’t quite tell since he was blocking the view.

"You know… turning so I can only see your back doesn’t automatically make me believe you’re a genius in figuring out that holster." She said quietly, a small chuckle escaping her before going silent once more. Hmm, it was rather ridiculous really. If he needed help, why not ask? Endure the humiliation that she would surely give him! At least he'd know how to put the holster on properly. For now though, she could just stare at the boy’s back, or count how many fuzzies were collecting on his clothes. It didn’t matter to her since it was at least something to do to keep her awake.

Anna let the cat out of its cage so it could get out some energy before they arrived at the school. She knew that as soon as she opened its cage it'd bolt and run around the compartment but she never guessed what would happen next. A rocking in the train opened the door quick enough for the cat to get our "Jaz!" She said hanging out the door. "Get back here!" She started to follow after the cat. Suddenly it jetted into a compartment that she thought was empty. Okay she would get in and get out. She ran into the compartment. Upon a quick glance there were two people in the compartment. One was a boy she knew but the girl she didn't know. "Erm, my cat is under your seat." She said timidly. She had embarrassed herself a lot but never this badly. She blushed a deep red.

People thought them to be very reserved and shy and probably not out going, which Rhea was not. She just wasnt mean and not altogether..well..conceited.
"Whaaat? Trust me, it's not as obvious to everybody." She chuckled when he said there were one or two smart huffles and slyths.
"There re plenty smart huffies. Snakes I'm not too sure about, since I don't hang with them..much. But I'm sure there are a few as well." She smirked. Pulling his leg was fun. Speaking of leg...his hand was on hers....oooh...keep them there.She was certainly enjoying this.

And he moved them. She pouted without realizing that she was, but then nodded to his question.
"yes it's my final year." He frowned and her pout was replaced by a smile. Did that frown mean that he would miss her? She certainly hoped so.
"I'm afriad that's exactly what it means. But I'm sure you'll be fine. I hear you're quite a lady charmer Mr.Riding." Hmm, she wondered what his response would be. Knowing him, he wouldn't deny it, but what she wanted to know was if he was in like with someone.

She chuckled and scooted over just a little bit as he stepped over her legs to sit next to her.
"Sure you're not scared of cooties? I mean..I might have cooties." She grinned at him.

CLONE ONE.

Jack eyed Rhea, smiling as he did so. "You don't know many Slytherins? Why not? They are the best of course. I'm in that house, darling." He wondered if she just felt that she shouldn't be friends with them, because she was a Hufflepuff. Really, Jack didn't care who he was friends with, as long as they were gorgoues and/or interesting. Rhea was both. But, he had a funny feeling that that wasn't the reason, and that she just hadn't come across them yet. "Wait, does that mean I'm your first Slytherin friend? Gosh, you've picked the right one." He laughed a little to himself. Whoever chose him to be their friend had great taste. Though, Jack didn't like to be chosen, he liked to do the choosing. Mwahaha.

"And where did you hear that?" Now, Jack loved it when people told him that they heard he was hot, because that was the truth and he just loved to hear the words hot or gorgeous and Jack in the same sentence. But when it came to being a lady charmer, he wasn't quite sure. He'd never thought of himself as that, just that he liked girls, A LOT. "I had never assumed that I was a ... lady charmer. I mean, don't get me wrong, I like them. But I never thought that I was exceptionally good at charming women. Do you think I am?" He raised an eyebrow at her, hopefully her reply would be positive, he would like that.

"But you don't. Because ... " Well, Jack didn't really know what cooties were, but he assumed it was some sort of bacteria ... or in the catergory of bacteria and some other disgusting stuff. "Love, I just know, you don't."

Weeee Jenn <33... | You know Ravvies are awesome | | Loly... I luff you! | LOVES mah TWINNEH!

Maddie made her way down the corridor, trying to find an empty compartment. She wasn't really having much luck in that department. Stopping in front of a compartment, she frowned. She could hear... crying. And that was NOT GOOD. She hated people crying.... it was horrible. People should be happy... la la la. Turning on her heel, she hurried down, until she was in front of the door where the crying was coming from. Oh. A small girl who could have only been a first year was making all the noise.

SLiding the door open slowly, she made her way in and sat next to the girl. 'Hey,' she said softly 'I'm Maddie. Are you alright?' well, no. She was crying. 'It can't be that bad, whatever it is. Tell me about it, maybe I can help'

"Well...I just really want a break from this all. At least a term even. I know that's long but I'm not going to get into a seriously relationship straight after we've just broken up", she said to him. She at times did feel sad about their break up.

"Riiiight, i dont know whats wrong with the world Kita", Fee sighed," just another one of my friends told me she has a boyfriend a few minutes ago. And he is a fifth year."
Fee really wondered was was wrong. Kita was extremely pretty and hadnt a boyfriend. Fee herself was kinda okay. But still.
"I just dont get it, where do they suddenly come from with all those guys? I dont even meet boys."
Fee sighed heavy. But she was glad Kita was there. That Sapphie also had a boyfriend now, had shocked her.
"Well, my best friend starts to ignore me cause everyone around her has a boyfriend excpet me. Thats really sad."
Yes it was. School term hasnt even started and she already felt like losing Scar.
"Oh got yes, as i got in here and everyone sat with there boyfriends i felt lonely and useless. Cause i didnt want to disturb them i got into this compartement. Okay the lonely feeling didnt go away but till you are here everything is fine."
Fee felt like she could tell Kita everything, what was a very nice feeling.
If no one wanted to come by and realise what they missed it wasnt Kita's&Fee's fault.
"Right, i mean its not our fault that all boys cant see what they could have", she smiled sexily.
" Haha, thats just how we roll, we were born as hot, dangerous, crazy queens. Blame our parents if yopu dont like it", Fee giggled.
Oh! Another slogan.
"Yes, we could be the fatest girls on earth, there still wouldnt be any competiton", Fee smiled warmly at Kita.
Something said Fee that Kita wasnt quite satisfied with herself. And Fee didnt know why. Something to find out.
"Yes Slytherin needs me. I will be the new Slytherin princess", Fee giggled.
As she heard Kita mention Quidditch her eyes began to sparkle.
" Oh yes. I love Quidditch. But can i join as Firstie?", she asked, " what about you?"
Kita looked outside and was shocked to see that fields were passing by. Her journey's to Hogwarts usually lasted longer than this but it seemed that company helped when you have a long journey ahead of you. She liked that about friends; they make things easier sometimes.

"Seriously?!" she said, crossing her legs and leaning forward, "Wow man! And she's in her first year? That's seriously messed up! Like it sounds weird. The girl being 11 and the guy being 15." Boy was she one who enjoyed gossip! It wasn't like she spread gossip though! More like, enjoyed hearing gossip. She shook her head and sat back. The world was messed up and she knew it for some time but this was just plain ridiculous. After all, who wouldn't love craziness?

Kita gasped again. "Same here! 3 years at Hogwarts and i barely met any guys. Well, i met some and they were all taken but still," she said thinking about some boys she had just recently met who don't seem to acknowledge her existence now, "And suddenly it seems as though the whole school is in a relationship and it makes you realise that there are loads of boys there!" Again, messed up!

"That is you know! People shouldn't do that! After all, we do exist!" she said, shaking her head again, knowing exactly what she meant. Hadn't a certain Huffie done the same to her? And some other Huffies. And some other girls for that matter. She sighed.

"Aw! I felt like that in my first year as well. And my second. It was a bit weird," she said, then she smiled, "Well, i'm glad we have each other! Us single ladies have to stick together!"

Kita started laughing at Fee's smile! "That's so true! They don't know how cool we are! We won't sit here feeling sorry for ourselves! Not happening," she said, crossing her arms in a determined way! She laughed again. "Yes, they should blame our parents! After all, we came like this for a reason! Hogwarts needs us!" She never knew how crazy she could be until she met Fee. And it was nice. "No competition whatsoever! No one can compare to who we are and what we have!" she said, laughing.

"Slytherin princess! That sounds great! And when the princesses come together to bring crazy back, they become queens! Ooh! We're bringing crazy back!" she said, laughing. What a way to spend the journey. Going crazy was her forte and it seemed that it was Fee's too!

Kita let out a squeal of delight and excitement. "I love Quidditch as well! It's just great!" she said, "Oh! Well, i joined the team in my first year. I was only a substitute. You might not be able to get in but it's well worth a shot! This year, i'm not too sure about joining. I might give it a try though. Are you going to try out?"

Yeah talk about gult ridden. Bradin looked down at the floor in slight shame. Ginny wasn't after a serious relationship so soon and yet he was already in another serious relationship.
"I guess so but everyone has to move on at some stage"

Ginny had didn't look for Bradin for a few moments. She knew that he had moved on straight away. It wasn't hard for him. "I know they do. Some people can do it straight away and some need time", she repiled to Bradin.

Rhea returned his smile. She couldn't help it, his was contagious. Oh well. On to his question.
" I said I don't know many, but I do have a fair few slytherin friends. You'r slowly making your way to the favourite category though. Good job, I'm not so easily pleased you know." And that was the truth. Her interests were varied and few. Some were simple and some weren't. For instance, she took an unusual liking to the lake, which earned her the nick name Lake Dweller from her bestie. And her interest in people, well, she didnt keep that many friends and the ones she did keep, they were very very ...err..different from each other.
"So since you're not my first Slytherin friend, do you mind settling for favourite...for now anyways. Who knows, there might be another slytherin out there who can challenge the awesomeness of Jack Riding." She smirked.

Oh now he wanted her to reveal her sources... bu she just couldn't do that. Oh no, not yet.
"Oh here and there, through the grapevine. Girls talk you know." And that was right. Quite few ladies had an interest in him, well so she had heard anyways. A certain french girl especially that she had heard about. Meh, she hoped it wasn't true.
She felt her ears and her cheeks warm when he asked her opinion..
"I umm...errm..it's such a beautiful day out eh?" Yep she had successfully escaped without spilling too much. She hoped.

Rhea laughed. She had no ideas what cooties were either, but she did remember using that word a lot when she was younger.
"I have no idea what cooties are either, but it's good to know you're not scared of getting close to girls." She gave him a small wink and looked away from him out the window briefly.

Bradin didn't make eyes contact with Ginny. There was no way he could do that without feeling guilty for their harsh break-up. But at least she understood.
"Depends on the circumstances I guess" was all he could think of saying.

Ginny could see that Bradin wasn't making eye contact with her. She felt guilty, he felt guilty. The both did. They just fell apart. "And how the break up happens, as well", she said to him.

Leaning back against the seat, the Slytherin continued to stare at the boy, tilting her head to the side slightly as her eyes flickered to whatever he was doing; supposedly doing something with the holster, though she couldn’t quite tell since he was blocking the view.

"You know… turning so I can only see your back doesn’t automatically make me believe you’re a genius in figuring out that holster." She said quietly, a small chuckle escaping her before going silent once more. Hmm, it was rather ridiculous really. If he needed help, why not ask? Endure the humiliation that she would surely give him! At least he'd know how to put the holster on properly. For now though, she could just stare at the boy’s back, or count how many fuzzies were collecting on his clothes. It didn’t matter to her since it was at least something to do to keep her awake.
So, pretty girl has a voice. Or was that her cat? Salander turned his head slightly in their general direction, eyeing them both "I can figure out this holster just fine misses... " he responded defensively, drawing down his sleeve and stuffing the holster into it hastily. Yeah that should do it, just dont nobody try to take off his jacket.

Turning in his seat, he faced the girl-- and her cat, since he still didnt know which one spoke to him-- and stretched out his legs and crossed his arms across his chest. He gave the girl a once over and raised a brow "So where are you headed?"

There was the line that set the guilt train in motion. "Mostly how bad the break-up is and how hurt the two people are" he said. He didn't look at Ginny at all now. He just faced forward. "Can we change the subject?"

Hehe. Sure he could.

Mirroring his movements, Evelyn crossed her own arms and raised a brow...though she was trying her hardest not to snort at his question. Like, seriously? Where was she headed? "To my lifelong doom and suffering." she answered without a hint of sarcasm. Really, Hogwarts was a life of suffering and torture for any kid if one thought about it. Blinking a few times, she noticed that the boy kinda had an intriguing dark look about him, which probably was the main reason of her staring. Forget the conversation, or what little bit of it there was, she was too busy keeping her hands away from fixing her already perfect hair.

Pfft. Darn these teen years! Where was Josh when she needed him, hmm!? "And...you?"

Now Dylan was gone and Jake felt less tense, he felt his cheekbone bruising but decided not to pay any attention to it. It'd be well cool to have bruise there when he turned up at school.

... and not have gotten it from someone younger.

"I dddon't think we've ever hhhad a quiet year," Jake chuckled, squeezing Lexi's shoulder. "But I only hhhope I manage to ssstay well away from any duhh-drama."

To be honest, it had been a while since all of that, and Jake would have thought Raiden would have said something earlier. But that was Jake just being bitter and angsty and 'everyone hates me and I hate my life'. He also KNEW he felt that way, so smiled through it. Eh, he'd get over it. He couldn't really remember it happening.

Very tempted to say how it did actually break his face (his cheekbone, actually) Jake watched as Raiden turned the stud in his ear. "Haha, snap," he commented, getting a little distracted as he turned his head to show the earring he'd had since... well... he wasn't sure, but he thought he may have been twelve. He had a tongue stud too but he only got that in Easter.

"I was so puhhh-peeved at Reese when she..." Jake broke off. Reese wasn't in his new family, and now he had a little sister, he could compare easier. "When mmmy little sister is old enough fffor a boyfriend, and finds one, I dddon't think I'll be too ch-cheerful, either."

She had stunned Raiden and that in turn had caused him to get a hole gouged out of his shoulder. She felt guilty about that. Raiden was total win and she didn't like knowing that she had inadvertently gotten him hurt.

"Are you going to put your name into the Goblet of Fire, Raiden?" Lexi asked very interested. "I totally think you should. It would be amazing to have ETERNAL GLORY," she said rather whimsically.

Lexi chuckled slightly and said, "With Dylan threatening to lock me away until I am of age and insisting I need his GUIDANCE, I don't think either of us will have a peaceful year. Raiden, I think you should talk to him... tell him it is okay that I have a boyfriend. I mean, he isn't the picture of innocence after all." She then sighed into Jake and thought that no matter who told Dylan it was okay he still wouldn't give in.
It wasn't until Jake pointed out his own ear that Raiden realised he'd been fiddling with his earring. It was a habit borne from his fifth year, when he'd not had the earring to fiddle with for quite some time. It was almost... a nervous habit? As if, if he left it alone for too long, the ears would switch back without his noticing it.

"Ahhh nice," the prefect said with a grin, his fingers dropping away from the stud in slight embarrassment. "I sometimes... play with it without realising... pain when you wake up and you've pulled it out, though."

He wasn't so slow that he didn't notice that Jake cut himself off while talking about Reese, but he figured it would be easier for everyone if the topic wasn't pushed. Brothers, he understood, could be terribly scary things sometimes, when their little sisters started getting old enough for boys.

"Definitely wasn't," he murmured in response to Lexi. He hadn't caught it until just then, but... well he was standing in a compartment with two of the kids who had been cursed that term. Three, when Dylan had been in here. Idly, he wondered if any of the victims still held that self-blame. Did... did Tibi? The kid would never tell him if he did, would he. "That doesn't count in any way towards your troublemaking record."

...

"Eternal glory," he mused, catching the interest on her face. "That's... not really my thing. But I've been considering it. I'm plenty old enough for it. It's just a matter of how worried I am about the idea of possibly getting maimed or killed..."

Yeah. Triwizard Tournament. It wasn't exactly a safe haven of a competition. Raiden rather liked his face the way it was, and had been, for the last seventeen years. Then again, the magical community had awesome ways of healing, and they were really getting a bit better about the safety thing...

However, there was ONE thing that he could do to jeopardise his safety for the whole term, and that was exactly what Lexi was suggesting he do.

"Nooooo way. I sleep in the same dorm as him." He shook his head. "I don't even want to imagine what he'd do to me in my sleep if I were to tell him what to do about his own sister."

so you can convince yourself that im cute

Carve heaved his trunk onto the train and made his way to the back, feeling that Callie, being Callie, would be at the front with the shiny people. His lips were still tingling, and he could think of nothing but the kiss. Not in a lovie dovey way or anything, it was just...odd. And then she went all psycho on him. How did he even get himself intot that?!

By the time he reached an empty compartment, he was sweating slightly (probably due to the fact that he had packed his skateboard.) He didnt bother lugging it into the overhead storage, but instead let it rest in the corner and slumped down onto a seat next to it, rubbing his eyes wearily.

Because, if she hadn't that meant that he would have to deal with Monty whereas now he has to deal with Monty's LOOKS. Like that one she just gave him. But he still wasn't sure whether that was worse that having to deal with her straight on.

Stupid, stupid, stupid Jimbo!

He didn't say anything the whole time that Monty was talking to the small girl. He was just staring straight ahead, cursing at himself in his mind.

Because honestly, he was just making up for one stupid thing he'd done and now he had to go and do another stupid thing that's even more stupid than the first thing and is going to take a LOT more making up to do. Worse than that, it was going to take EXPLANATION. And that...well, that was one thing he did NOT have.

But then he realized Monty was talking to him. Asking him for his opinion on the tiny girl staying in their compartment. Yes. Yes. Yes. She definitely can. As a matter of fact, he would make her a throne. But he didn't want to SAY anything. He couldn't say anything, he was in too much shock. So he just nodded quickly and finally picked himself up off the ground.

He needed to get away for a bit. He couldn't look at Monty right now. But where would he go? What would be his excuse?

"I..er...I will be right back. I need to...go...get...more candy." he spoke to both of them, well more to the firstie.

As if Monty wouldn't see right through that. He gave a small wave and walked away to the Food Trolley. He'd be back soon, but he just had to gather his thoughts and possible think up an excuse, an explanation. ANYTHING.

Leilani managed to find herself at the back of the train. See, the front of the train was for all the scared little firsties, and the middle was for the people that didn't want to walk all the way to the back. So in her mind, the back of the train was like, seat of honor. She was wandering through when-

JIMBOJIMBOJIMBOJIMBOJIMBO *tackle* Lani flung her arms around his neck. Well, she would have if she weren't so teeny. And even with the addition of a few inches over the past year, she was still only 5' 1". So it was more like around his waist.

"JIMBOOOOOO!" Leilani squeeled. She'd had to put up with alot lately. Including some very prissy first years and her brother getting sick. And there's always drama when the baby gets sick *eyeroll*

And Annie wondered where was everyone inside this long and big train. It was horrible, to be searching around for Drew, for Lucy. And that's when she missed Torin the most. Argh. New York kid, he'd have to pay once or twice for leaving like that. Once reaching to an almost empty compartment, she peeked her head in and smiled at the boy inside it. "Haii, can I join the ride with you? The rest of the compartments are full and seriously, I am way too lazy to bother going all the way to the front of the train." Yeah, she confessed being lazy, as walking around the train, of course.

"Well, if he locks yyyou away, I'll come ruhh-rescue ya," Jake smirked, picturing himself in a suit of armour on a white horse.

Hmmm... armour...

"You should jjjust let him chill out a buhh-bit, Lexi," the boy tried, not wanting to say the wrong thing but, yeah... "And if he cccontinues being sssilly about it... then get him bbback."

Jake, of course, was talking about some kind of prank.

Hey, HE hadn't promised to be good.

"I do, tttoo," Jake nodded, managing to relapse into inane conversation. He remembered the day he and Lexi got together unofficially, when she said how he'd pull it out one day. "I've lost mmmany earrings like that, yyyeah," he smiled.

Okay... deviated much? Bad Jake!

He stayed quiet when Raiden spoke to Lexi about that whole issue with the crazy french man, only to pipe up when he mentioned it not affecting the record. "Yeah, I mean, my thhhird year wasn't exactly bbbrilliant... those kids I kkkki-..." Errr... yeah. "With LouAnn... and... and stuff. That wasn't hhheld against me."

Maybe tactless but Jake didn't think so, since it was terrible, but had happened to him and he didn't feel really down about it, except when he thought about the people who had died... but he tried not to think about that. Not to be callous, but because he'd brooded on it for a while.

"Then again... the rrrest of my trouble-making wuhh-was."
