... but that vanishes rather quickly.
"I am NOT a creeper...." he said pointing at Vivi "....And stop giving me funny names..." points at Abby "....and--"double points between his eyes to the violent little girl "-- I'm watching you."
He turns for the door and just catches the flaming red-head that seemingly stayed quiet all this time "Nice to see you Addy." He picks up the bird cage, grabs the pet carrier handle and scampers down the corridor. That compartment is trouble. He knows it. "He's a little bit of a creeper. Sent me a picture he took of me last year in Diagon Alley," Vivi offered as soon as Vickers disappeared. He was a nice enough boy, although he was awfully bossy, with that finger pointing and all that. Lex and Hasty had been bossed too, and they only just met him!

She knew this girl was different!
So this would be her first year at Hogwarts..."I guess that explains why you still have a brain. Do me a favour; don't hang with the older kids too much and lose it." That would simply have been tragic and a terrible waste of a good personality. "No," she offered after a long pause. Whole truth, partial truth, or no truth? She was going for partial truth. "I was born and raised right here in the UK, but my parents thought it best I not go to Hogwarts. I have a twin sister, and they wanted us to... develop our own interests." Which, in retrospect, wasn't a terrible idea, but Vivi had HATED it at the time. She'd certainly lost that closeness she'd shared with Sophia when they were younger.

Even still, she slid right off the seat and ended up in a puddle of limbs on the floor.
MERLIN.
Do. Not. Panic. Panicking was for regular people, not for future Aurors.

"Well, I think Genie is way better than Hasty." Genie WAS a cool nickname, even if she said it so herself. Hasty.. well, it just sounded silly. "I'm sticking with Genie though. I like it." Genie was just going to have to deal with being called that.
....And suddenly, the train came to a halt. Abby suddenly felt herself being thrown forward, hitting the side of her head against the window before landing on the floor. "Ouch!" She groaned, rubbing the palm of her hand against the bruise. What on earth was HAPPENING!? She finally managed to get back up on her seat although she did feel slightly dizzy. "You guys okay?" Meaning the little girl, Genie and Addy.
"Trouble is our combined middle name. I'm Trah, and you're Bull." Hehe.
It wasn't really the time for humor, but she managed the crack even as she pulled herself up and checked on the other two girls. They seemed... well. They'd all live.
"I'm fine. Just... unhappy with how often I've been on the floor today."

There was also a little girl with cookies. He smiled at her before beginning and took one, and then a bite. Thanks kid. "Hey kids, Armen Recard Department Head Of Magical Transportation for the Ministry here. Your Headmistress summoned me to help out with the Train problem and well...we can't fix it so we will be travelling by Portkey this evening." He dropped the sack of objects onto the floor infront of him. "Don't worry, it's perfectly safe and if you are new to it, just watch what everyone else does."
The Ministry official pulled out an old ripped in half pillow, a hula hoop, a street sign, tin can, and a frizbee. "Everyone gather around one of the items here and make sure you touch it in order to be transported. We are meeting up at the Hogsmeade train station like normal. Don't leave the platform until we all arrive."
And with that the items began to glow BLUE ready to take off. OCC: What he said guys! Go ahead and Rp your charrie touching a Portkey object and your charrie can disappear. You will soon see where you should post next.  Portkeys? For the first time, Vivi was relieved her mother was on the train. Whatever else was true, Cassandra Rae-Branxton wouldn't let anything bad happen to the kids on this train. Wouldn't let anything bad happen to her.
Not that future Aurors cared if their mother was around or whatever.

And, why had the lights flickered out? And, she was still feeling slightly dizzy. This train ride was slowly turning out to be a nightmare. "We should go find out what's going on.." But, before she could finish that sentence, some lady came bursting in. Yeah, okay. They were not going to move. But, what the heck was going on?
And.. someone else entered the compartment. Seriously? Train problem? Wasn't he going to explain what was happening?
Portkeys.. alright. She'd travelled using portkeys before. Anyway, as long as they were leaving this stupid train, she was happy. She reached for the frizbee and held it out for the others to touch it. Quote:

She looked from Abby to the others then back. Everyone seemed to be sitting in some way or another. Her eyes glanced over to Felix who was making his way over to her steadily When he climbed into her lap she turned her attention to Abby once more.
"Do you think something might have attacked the train. I mean why else would they be being so cautious and telling us no magic...?" It was either that or she was over thinking again.
Portkeys...?
What were those? Well obviously a method of transportation for them to be getting them. She watch thing things glow blue in awe...she liked that shade of blue but now was not the time for that as everyone was taking them then disappearing. She watched Abby do it first just to make sure there wasn't some trick to it that she would miss then she clung tightly to Felix before grabbing one, sucking in a deep breath then also disappearing. Vivi obediently put her hand on the portkey, relieved that her new friends didn't seem to be the sort to overreact.
Attacked? "It's possible, I suppose. We could go investigate, but... I think it would be a terrible idea for anyone untrained in defensive spells to do that. So we'll just all go as instructed." As in there was NO WAY that Vivi was going to let the first year currently in her presence put herself in harm's way, and since she was putting herself in charge of Lex's well-being... they were all going to go together.
