Were presidents allowed to hug students?
Ooooooh, so she was one of
those girls. Louisa couldn't help but think of a certain red-head Bunbury princess. However, that one did blend in quickly enough by turning herself into a princess of the castle. Internal
SNORT. "
I can give it a shot," because really, Louisa was a challenge lover kinda Ravenclaw.
Then the lady... patted... her arm. The Ravenclaw stared down at her patted arm and quickly offered a
certain smile to the President. At least she didn't pat her
head! Like a certain Slytherin used to do.
Sniffles.

If one thing it was, it was exciting, but then maybe also Nerve-racking.
Wait..where did Kurumi go? *blink*
One minute Kurumi was there and the next she had instantly dissapeared. A pout formed on Nessie's face, but she continued to walk straight not sure what else to really do. Then that's when she saw it the compartment right in front of her, it must have been where Kurumi dissapeared to.
Taking a deep breathe, Renesmee walked in. The new Hufflepuff Captain scanned the room, as a small smile grew on her face. It was nice...but still a train was a train and a compartment was a compartment. It was when Ness noticed there were three adults standing there that she paused her gaze.
Erm...why were they here? Odd. Before Ness could come up with any reasons, one of the adults bright red hair caught her attention.
"EEEEP! ANOTHER RED HEAD!" ...Whoops! That was supposed to be kept as a thought. It took Nessie a few seconds to actually figure out it was said aloud and when she did. She almost started to scream she was so embarrassed.
"Um..sorry." she said helplessly as she could feel her cheeks begin to redden.
Then someone shouted.
At first, Louisa thought it was directed to
her by a random students passing by or something. But when she spotted Nessie, who already knew of Louisa's new hairdo, the Ravenclaw made a faint groan noise and threw her head backward just a bit.
That was crazy. Even for Nessie. And she couldn't have chosen a worse time to be all excited about forming a Hogwarts red-headed leaders association. The Ravenclaw however gave the younger Huffie a friendly look as she took a seat with them and was introduced.

Milton then realized that he didn't care and that he would probably find out later, so he walked past them to plop himself down onto the bench by the window. Take her away, train conductorrrr...
... okay. Right. First of the Ravenclaws to enter after herself and it had to be the Rude boy. Louisa rolled her eyes at him as he positioned himself by the window and just fell silent. "
Congratulations on the Captain badge, Shacklebolt," she would've poked him too if her cat basket wasn't so big and taking up the space between them.

What had the redhead done to deserve such a cruel fate? The world was out to get her. She could have dealt with crazy first years and the lack of licorice wands. But when you take away a woman's beater bat THAT was when things got personal. It had been all summer without her bat and she was starting to get very, very impatient with the whole ordeal.
So as she pulled back her
headband in frustration, Selina tried to convince herself that her luck was about to change. Pretty soon she would be in the prefect compartment with her friends and her not-so-friends, but there would be cookies. Cookies made everything better and since Selina did not mame those first years like she had threatened she supposed that it meant that she was off the hook with Kurumi. Which meant that the Gryffindor girl had better have cookies awaiting her. One did not simply joke about having cookies. Especially not with someone like Selina.
Bursting through the prefect compartment doors, Selina scanned everyone in the compartment looking for one person inparticular,
"Oi Hollingberry. Cookies... please tell me you have them." It had been a rough day and she was not up to really being sociable until she got her cookies in hand. But as she marched over to her friend she said hello to everyone on her way.
The large smile was sent in the way of her fellow captains, Milton and Nessie,
"Hey guys, good summer?" She genuinely liked all of the captains. The redhead supposed that it had a lot to do with the fact that they all had something that Selina really loved in common- Quidditch. Just past Nessie was Sierra Griengoth with her usual sour pout,
"Griengoth," she nodded. Not much more to say there. Then she saw Gideon and gave him a small smile,
"Hello there." They would talk later. Besides, she was on a cookie mission. AND ONLY KURUMI HAD THE COOKIES. Speaking of cookies, she was about to sit down beside Kurumi when she saw Louisa. With a smile she said,
"Oh hello Louisa."
Then Selina sat down beside Kurumi and put out her palm awaiting some form of nourishment. She didn't hurt those first years... now it was time to pay up. And Selina knew that Kurumi always kept her stash of
emergency-Selina-cookies on her person during the school year. Well, now was a brilliant time to take 'em out.
Suddenly feeling like she was forgetting something, Selina looked up around the room and saw three older faces. One of the women looked very familiar to her, but not because she had seen her before but because she had seen the features before. The redheaded woman was a complete stranger and so was the man.
"Oh hello there. Sorry I missed you. Cookies. You understand." Cookies were universal.
Her eyes shot open in shock when it finally clicked what Selina had been missing. She looked between all of the older members in the compartment and exclaimed,
"Oh my! I am so sorry! I had almost forgotten!" She dug deep into her sachel and pulled out flyers,
"Have any of you seen my bat? And, er, excuse the typo... it was two thousand and seventy-eight." Not 2088... Selina was so worried she forgot to double check. COULD YOU BLAME HER? THIS WAS SERIOUS!
This fiery lioness, that one was pretty amusing. Her energy just spilled all over the place as soon as she set her foot into the compartment. Once greetings were being distributed, the Ravenclaw nodded smiling back at the quidditch captain, "
Hey Selina." As for those flyers, Louisa stared down at one and her eyebrows lifted slowly.
He? She called her bat a
he? Instinctively, she glanced up at Gideon. "
Erm... okay. I'll keep an eye out for this."

...But here he was, making his way through the train, shiny pristine badge in place. He'd been stopped several times by random people offering their congratulations on his accomplishment. Dylan wasn't sure if she should be offended or not by the general surprise. Pfft. He'd been the Captain for the better part of last term...Did they not think he'd be keeping it?
Some people... Also...he'd been lucky enough NOT to see either of the Ravenclaw terrors yet. It was a good thing...The Slytherin had decided if he did happen to see them, he'd swiftly jump out of the nearest window. This was NOT an exaggeration...Dylan knew it was just a matter of time, though. Those two were like brain ninjas...and he HATED them both. Yes. HATED. Caps lock necessary.
With the Prefect compartment in view, the Captain paused outside the door and took a deep breath. The other Captains would be in there...and he had no idea who'd been picked. He knew about Ness, but was generally unsure about Ravenclaw. Gah, he was going to hurl if it was who he thought it might be. Not that his discomfort would stop there. Nope...Gah, Indy's brother was the Ravenclaw Prefect, wasn't he? And the girl Prefect. Dylan didn't know her and didn't want to. All Ravenclaw girls were TROUBLE. He'd been involved with enough of them to know first hand...
Yep. So, it was decided. He'd peek his head in for just a moment and then leave. Yes, yes. That was the plan.
Making sure his swagger was in place, Dylan knocked on the door lightly before swinging it open. Stepping into the compartment, he smirked at his fellow leaders. Yep. Shacklebolt was there...as was Skylar (he KNEW she'd be returning) and Dixon. *GLARE*
Oh, Dixon...And to think he'd danced with her...Ick.
Not here, Dylan!!...Wait until you get to school...
...and WHO was this older REDHEADED lady...? Yes, he might have been staring...a little. Who could blame him, though? She had the fabled REDHAIR...and was extremely pretty. There was some other adult in the compartment, too...but Dylan merely glanced at her...Was this lady going to be a teacher? Oooh, what subject? The Captain would definitely make sure to attend her lessons...*cough*
"Greetings to you all." as an afterthought.
Louisa followed the new boy entering the compartment with her eyes, his face was familiar but since they didn't wear their uniforms, she didn't really know which one -- Ohhh! The Slytherin quidditch captain. He seemed as if he was sucking a really sour lemon, by the way. Was he alright?
The Ravenclaw just watched him glare at pretty much everyone in the compartment before taking a seat and... yeah. Mental note not to get on his bad side, simply because Louisa did not want her head to be smashed by Quidditch gear.

Peering through the window slightly he could see that a good number of the Prefects and Captains were present... except for the Hufflepuff boy one that is.
Ahem.
And so the door opened.
"Hello everyone! Oh! I didn't realise we were going to have company in our compartment on the train ride to school guys," he said glancing at his 'fellow' Prefects, flashing them a small warning look out of sight of the adults as if to say 'Don't grass me in or I'll remember it.'
"Hello there," he flashed his best smile, turning to face the adults, "I am Lewis Rasting. I'm the other Hufflepuff prefect." He raised his hand out for one of the adults to take it. They'd all want to grab for it, obviously, since it was practically the world's most gorgeous hand, of course.
Yes. Hands can be gorgeous. Shush.

When he got there, he had just caught to hear the last part about being Lewis Rasting, the other Hufflepuff Prefect. But Vickers can clearly see the curly head-- this was NOT Lewis Rasting.
He was just about to flick the top of Elijah's head when he spotted the adults in the compartment. AASDFSASDGHGHJKF!! Are those the visitors the Daily Prophet said would be riding with them? He turned his head and stared at Elijah "Errr... Lewis?... tugs sleeve "...I need some help with something....at the the other end of the train." nudging head towards THAT direction "Can you come help me?"

Or not... He had called him Lewis, right? The boy wasn't a complete fool. Looking around him, Elijah spotted another obvious absence. "Wait two minutes Spike. The governors are here and you should introduce yourself..."
Turning back to the adults, Elijah Lewis gave a small laugh, "This is Spike Hutchinson, a Ravenclaw Prefect." GRIN. "Spike and me are best friends. Amongst us Prefects and Captains we sometimes call ourselves Spewis," chortle chortle chortle. "So, can we be of any assistance with your visit?" Yeaaahhh, why exactly are you here, governors?

Not that Elijah seems to care much about--
WHOAHWAITWHATDIDHECALLHIM?!??
Slack-jawed and eyes growing the size of saucers Vickers stood dumbly silent when Elijah called him Spike Hutchinson, a Ravenclaw Prefect. Now he REALLY want to whack the guy on the back of the head.
And he almost did, until he heard Spewis
Seriously if Vickers didnt have all those rules Elijah they've just broken and their consequences flying through his head he'd be laughing.
His gaze shifted towards the student leaders sitting inside-- they know full well they arent Lewis or Spike, but there was something in this Ravenclaw's eyes that BEGGED them not to out them in front of all these SCARILY IMPORTANT people. He wanted to bolt for the other direction, but that would mean abandoning Elijah.
No Bros dont do that. Besides thats not gonna get those people to forget his face with that name
"Uhm...." he didnt know what to say. He couldnt even greet them. Wonderful first impression. He did manage to wave feebly at the adults.... then glared at Elijah. Offering them assistance? Seriously? Why does Elijah even want to hang around here for? They should be making themselves scarce before one of them adults gets their mugshot and their fingerprints.
They needed an escape plan....
"Would... any of you like to have something from the Food Trolley? El--Lewis and I can get something for you all real quick." nod nod iiiiiiinching his way AWAY from the compartment.

One person, however, who was determined to spoil his plans of snoopage was Vickers. STILL. He was now going on about getting something from the trolley. Didn't he realise that they had already committed identity fraud plus trespassing into a compartment they weren't allowed in? They were already criminals, so they might as well do it well and deal with the consequences later. "I'm quite alright, and if the other's want something I'm sure they are more than capable to fetch it for themselves," LEWIS said, resting a hand on the Ravenclaw's shoulder and forcing him to sit down on an available seat, whilst he took one beside his lovely girlfriend, Kurumi. "Heyyyyy my little pygmy puff," because Lewis would totally say something LAME like that to his girlfriend.
"Pleasure to meet you President Rae-Branxton, and also to you Mr. Amoroso," LEWIS said sweetly. "However, it is a fantastic honour to get to meet our new Headmistress before we even arrive at school. Your picture in the Prophet did not do you justice Headmistress Truebridge," he complimented. Might as well get the sucking up done early, even if he wasn't currently Elijah Wilde.
*pretends to add Vickers' last post*
What. In. The. Name. Of. Merlin. The. Magnificent.
Louisa's lips pursed as the curled-hair boy
claimed to be Lewis Rasting, and she opened her mouth to speak when Vickers - VICKERS! poked his head in the compartment and somehow became involved with this.
Being Spike Hutchinson.
No. Just... no.
The Ravenclaw opened her mouth again, glaring at the curled-hair boy, "
Actually..." she started again but he had his focus on the adults and continued to babble. Her lips pursed together, totally ignoring VICKERS, and watched everyone else staring in shock at those two boys. She didn't know the Lewis fraud but she was soooo not cool with Vickers taking Spike's identity! It was very likely that Spike wouldn't show up in train, she never saw him here so maybe he had another kind of transportation, but he sure as heck was going to be there during the feast! Which's only hours away!
This was not happening to her in her first day - no, first hours as a Head Girl.
Where was Kennedy, by the way? He should be the one to deal with them crazy boys, she got the girls end covered.
Then they actually took seats! With the others! She did notice how Vickers seemed to be more flustered and wanting to leave to the food trolley when the other silly boy kept pulling him inside. That was sliiiiightly appreciated, but Louisa was frowning and pursing her lips all the time, glaring at the Huffie fraud.
Hi Louisa...
The girl simply tightened her hold on her cat and eyed the cat basket in the boy's lap. Nope, she wasn't going to participate in this, not even by a word. She's this close to graduate Hogwarts and she didn't want the wizarding Wizengamot to be her first destination after school. So yep, she just ignored this again and gave a sharp nod... coz she couldn't entirely ignore Vickers.
However, it was pretty easy for the new Headmistress to know that those were lying, right? Louisa didn't have to tell on anyone. RIGHT? She looked at the red-headed woman expectantly then... now would be the time where she should clap and say it was a pretty fun play and shoo those two OUT.

Not to mention he had many ideas about his new song which was going to attract many ladies, no doubt, and he wanted to introduce the song to his best friend. Need to get his ideas on it as well.
Carrying the acoustic guitar with single handed on his right shoulder, the boy walked into the crowded corridors not really caring if his guitar would hit someone. Meh. They were the ones who needed to be careful about it not him. But, to be honest, he would be kinda bothered if his precious guitar would be touched by some Hufflepuff and get all contaminated so while he walked towards the prefect's compartment to find Dylan, he kept his guitar away from those who looked like Hufflers. Like those who looked too...eh...Huffler.
Once he reached to the place, he did not bother to knock or something, the place seemed to be as crowded as the corridors anyway.
''DUDE!''
Now where was this captain?
As he looked around the place to find him, he could not help stare at the ladies in the compartment. Not bad not bad at all. Leaning against the compartment door, he started to grin at them.
''My, my, my!''
For Merlin's sake... Louisa raised her eyebrows at Mr. You-are-not-worth-my-time-unless-you-accpet-my-flirting's guitar. She didn't give him any more acknowledgement because the nice Mrs. Rae-Braxton gave an order to either walk in or walk out. PHEWWW. The Ravenclaw was about to wave at him goodbye when another person showed up..

Stepping up to the door, she noticed two of the boys from bowling; the two that never introduced themselves so she had never learned their names. Her gaze then shifted to the others in the compartment. She noticed Kurumi and the other students, some of which surprised her to see. Though, nothing surprised her as much as the sight of the adults in the compartment.
Taking a deep breath to calm herself, she smiled at them all. “Hi, I was just stopping by to see who the new prefects were, and to congratulate everybody on their positions.” Holding the bag with chocolate frogs, licorice wands, and Bertie Bott Beans out in front of her she asked. “I brought candy for everyone if you want some.”
... and maybe this was the only sane person to step in the compartment so far. The Ravenclaw nodded at her, smiling slightly, "
Thank you." For her kind gesture... and the candy. Only Louisa did not want any, partly because she never really ate well for the past week, and partly because this whole stealing identities thing was making her stomach flip. So nope, thank you girl.

Oh. This must be the new Prefect, right? The one after Evelyn. Louisa watched her walk in shyly and take a seat, silently. The Ravenclaw cleared her throat getting the girl's attention and offered her a small smile, "
Hi. Congratulations on the Prefect badge." Louisa needed to get to know the girl more, but for now she better gave her heads-up, "
Maybe you'd like to introduce yourself to our Headmistress, and the guests?" Maybe the girl just wanted a nudge? Yes? Louisa was more than happy to get distraction from the FAKE Spikey sitting next to her right then.
