"So are we glad to be headed home Taylor?" She wasn't sure if Taylor's mom was better yet or not and was kind of afraid to ask, she didn't want to see Taylor get upset again.
Just then she saw Ethan coming down the train and smiled, "Hey E, hope you don't mind being in here for a bit." She didn't think he would mind hanging out with Taylor, Damon, and as long as Min forced him.. Jory. Oh speaking of Jory, "Ethan do you know Jory? Jory this is my boyfriend Ethan, Ethan this is another great friend and my competition in the puff house for point earner Jory." She laughed a bit joking with Jory.
Letting go of Jory's arm, she went over and sat down next to Ethan. "Nothing is going on that I know, just got here right before you." She leaned back and looked around to make sure Fluffy was still hanging out. "So is your parents going to be at the station waiting on you?" She was dreading that part of the trip.

He was distracted, however, by the familiar voice. "Minerva,'' he said turning to look at his friend. He laughed. "No, not as yet.'' He could always expect teasing about school work from Minerva. And then to the Puffer's surprise, she grabbed his arm. "I'm not sitting by myself,'' he protested. "There's my owl and Pygmy Puff to keep me company.'' Still, Minerva refused to listen to him, so a resigned Jory allowed himself to be dragged to the compartment opposite.
Minerva now introduced him to a Ravenclaw girl who looked to be about his age. "Hi there, Tay,'' the boy responded with a smile. "Hi, Damon.'' He had seen both of them around School but he never actually spoke to them.
"Hi Ethan,'' Jory said turning to another familiar Claw. He did not miss the weird look he got. "Minerva's still holding onto my arm,'' he realised. He hoped Ethan didn't think badly of him. But he was distracted by the way Minerva introduced him. A bit red in the face, he grinned. "Your girlfriend can be tough competition, you know.'' Now his arm was released as Minerva went to take a seat next to Ethan. Awkwardly, Jory sat opposite to them and fixed his attention on the cat which was now resting it's head on Damon's leg.
Ethan smiled upon hearing Minerva's new nickname for him, thinking he kinda liked it from her. Then he shook his head a bit in response to her comment about the seating arrangements.
"No.. this is cool.." He was all relaxed and stretched out.. besides everyone in this compartment was alright with him. He could handle the train ride in their company.
The Ravenclaw boy smiled at Taylor as she did the same.
"Damon is your pillow?" he questioned her, somewhat amused.
"I don't know if he's the best.. he chuckled at her words, figuring that was a matter of opinion.
"But I'd have to say my cat agrees with you." Ethan glanced at Elise still leaning against the new graduate.
Ethan stretched his arm along the back of the seat behind Minerva as she took the seat next to him, then his green eyes fell on the Puff boy as he took the seat opposite them. He gave him a friendly smile as he was introduced then reached over to stretch out his hand, offering to shake.
"Nice to meet you, Jory.." he said, noting to himself that he had seen his yearmate often around school but wasn't sure they had really spoken. Chuckling a bit at his words, he said,
"That I do know.. Minerva's a smart girl. Congrats on the Cup win by the way.." He figured Jory was probably a big contributor to that.. and the Claw knew those Puffs had been hard to beat, especially this term.
"Or tie, I guess.." he added remembering that last minute upset.
He turned his attention back to Minerva at her question.
"Oh.. yeah, at least my mum will be.. I think my dad will be at work." And until he had that license in his hands, he wouldn't be able to Apparate home himself so a parent was necessary.
"Do you want to grab a bite to eat with us before you have to get on your.. umm, plane?" And that was something else he would be worried about.. but he tried not to think about it for now.
