Louisa paused a little looking concerned with the injured students, some were even on a stretcher! She couldn't make their faces out, probably because she didn't look well into them. She was more concerned about getting up on a carriage and just get out of this dark place, it made her skin crawl. The Ravenclaw moved quickly between the already full vehicles, glad that she couldn't see the Thestrals breathing and shuffling about. She scanned the faces of almost every group in the carriages she passed by, most of them were already chatting and energetically discussing this thing or that... until she spotted a face she was actually tempted to be with in this creepy day....

It was kind of weird, actually, to be pulled by an invisible, yet still physical being. Milton wondered if he could touch the thestrals... but decided against it.
He just wanted FOOD. So people should, like, HURRY and get their tushies on the carriages. NAO.

Didn't want to reinjure herself, after all.
After a relatively short walk, Em spied the carriages. Hurray! Picking up her speed a little, she made her way to the first one, waving a greeting to the shopkeeper standing there. "Hello!" she said, little cheerier than she felt, before climbing into the carriage. It had been a looooonnnnngg afternoon.

It was only then that he noticed another fellow. Wasnt this guy a shopkeeper down by the village? Helping out? Second job? Regardless, he gets a respectful nod from this Ravenclaw "Good day Sir." he greeted the man before climbing in the nearest carriage to him, which he found out was already occupied "Hello Milton--Captain." he said to the fellow who inherited Ellie's badge, then gave another "Hello" to the girl (Emmanuelle) who he's seen around in his classes but wasnt overly familiar with.
With the bird cage on his lap and the pup buggy by his feet, he settles himself into his corner of the carriage and lets out a long sigh. The hassle! It was almost like traveling through Muggle airports...
Without permission, Louisa climbed into the carriage along with Milton Vickers and the blonde girl sitting along. She flopped down on the nearest and possibly the only vacant seat. Not as close as one would think she wanted to be with the face's owner but it would do. "
Get this carriage moving already, for Merlin's sake," she grumbled quietly.
... did she have to introduce herself to the girl? She could try looking at her first and, "
I don't know your name but I've seen you around." Okay... that was Louisa being friendly. It
was said very friendlily... and coolly.
