Iris looked away from the window when the compartment door opened. Seeing Ivory, the Head Girl smiled warmly. "Heeeeey, Ivory." The blonde shrugged at her question, "Eh, all right... How're you?"

She smiled to herself as Ivory's bird woke up and seemed rather irritated, then fell right back asleep again. If only brothers acted like that, too. "He's lovely." She commented, referring to his appearance, more than his behaviour.

Glancing back out of the window, Iris quickly scanned the crowd of students and parents, in the hope that she'd find a familiar, friendly face. The Head Girl didn't want to be in this compartment for the WHOLE train ride. She reached up to her shoulder and stroked the top of Hermes' head. Turning back when the Ravenclaw prefect commented on the Pygmy, Iris grinned a little. "He's called Hermes," she said, somewhat proudly. "It took me weeks to come up with the name, though."
