Taking off from her sisters and everybody, she followed behind him, and emerged into the hustle and bustle that was the platform.

She had lost sight of him momentarily, but spotted her friend Med tho looked like she was playing king of the mountain with some other kid. “Cool!” she grinned before giving a big wave to her friend. “MEL-MEL!!” Thats when found Ace again. Leaving her trolley right where she had come through the wall, she yelled “SPACEY, WAIT!” as she ran behind him, in the wake of his destruction. “Awesome!” she said with a grin, seeing his things go flying. Bring herself to a stop, she bumped into Mel's trolley. If it wasn't all the way against the wall before, it was now. “Hey! You got here early.” She leaned against the trolley. She was gonna just ignore the fact that Ace had left her. Glancing at the not Mel, she asked,“Who are you?”

Emmaleigh, entered through the barrier behind the kids, only to find Samantha's trolley just in the entrance. She frowned as she moved it out of the way so Kara and everyone else could come through. She didn't even have to stop to scan the crowd. She heard the commotion, and knew. She just knew. Luckily for both of her charges, she had missed seeing them in action. “Come on.” she said to her other sister, as followed their path and apologized to the people they had run over. She stood in front of them and waited, with Kara close by her side.

Icekid was cool. “Really? Thank you! I’m Mel!” She added with a beam in his direction, “what is your name…unless you want me to call you ice-related-things because I will call you that” and she would. “really…I may come up with a —TENACIUS!” she squealed out just as Carl was climbing into the cart.

Hey look! Her friend was here. Her eyes widened as she saw people getting mauled over by the runaway trolly. “Man overboard” she muttered as she watched someone falling over. Oops. Sorry. “Ace! Hi…” she beamed and then turned to Ugo and gave him a look. So that was Ugo. She’d heard of him…mutterings of Ace going to visit Ugo. He looked alright.

“Is Sam with you?” She asked excitedly and then heard it…”SAMMMMMMYYYYYYYY” she practically hollered and waved over to her excited friends. “Sammy! Ace, this is…guy with ice hair.” She indicated and shrugged. “I don’t know his name yet.” She admitted with a laugh. And then she heard the voice of Ace’s watcherlady…mom…she was his mom now right?

“Hi Emmmmy” she beamed up at her as she was still quite short from the confines of her trolly. Standing up she even managed to give Emmy a saluted the older redhead. “Finn said to tell you sorry I couldn’t make it…if Mel’s any trouble let me know” she grinned, “I’ve not been trouble.” She nodded enthusiastically even though obviously Emmy was smart and knew.

He did not have any nicknames, so this would be a good chance to get one. A cool one, like Ace. He wondered who this Ace friend was.

As if his thoughts had been radiated across the magical barrier, a boy appeared at the entrance to the platform. Carl did not pay much attention to him, until the boy began rushing towards them and sent his luggage crashing across the platform. "Hello, you must be Ace! I am Carl." He said cheerfully. Jumping down from his trolley, he picked up a bag by his feet and handed it over to Ace. Better collect all the scattered items before more people trip over them.

Then another girl, Sammy, along with two other girl-ladies came over. Carl was planning to climb up his trolley again and shout out for her, but now there was no need to do so. "I am Carl." He repeated, beaming at the mention of his ice hair. "Are you guys all First Years?" He asked the group.

She nodded at him enthusiastically. “Yep, First years!!” she raised her hand for Mel high fives. But frowned when her older sisters showed up. This wasn't gonna be good.

Emmaleigh just looked at the children and sighed. At least their new friend was helping clean up the mess Ace had made. She took a deep breath, and looked at her fiancé. “Salander...” she said with a sigh. She stooped to finish gathering the strewn luggage, thankful for all those years of lifting heavy things in the barn. “Thank you for your help.” she said smiling at the boy. Crossing her arms, she then looked at the kids. “Melbourne, get down from there.” she said using the child's proper name. “And you too Sam. You know good and well that you shouldn't be standing on there. It isn't safe.” And then she looked at Tenacius “And this is not time for racing trolleys. It's very crowded and busy, and you could have hurt yourself, or someone else.”

“And this was left at the entrance.” Kara jumped in to add, finding it only proper to chide her sister. Seeing as she wasn't all motherly like Em. “Someone could have run right into it coming through the barrier. Mom and Dad would be really upset if you hurt someone.” she frowned. Their parents deserved better.

“I'm sorry.” Sammy said hanging her head and getting down. “I didn't mean to, I was just excited. Plus, Spacey left me.” She went over to Kara and got wrapped in a hug. And told each other their goodbyes. Both of them trying not to cry, and Sam promising to be good and safe. She had always hated when Kara had gone off to school

As Emmaleigh observed the two girls, she gave a small smile, and felt a pang of sadness. “Tenacius,” She said taking his hand and pulling him aside, letting Sal come if he wanted to. Kneeling down, she gave him a sad kind of smile. “I love you,” she said quietly, setting her hand on his little cheek. “More than you can possibly know. And I'm going to miss you so much. You promise me you will be safe, okay? And stay out of trouble?” The young woman pulled him into her arms and gave him a tight hug. Not caring if it embarrassed him. She really was going to miss their little one. Things were going to be quiet with out him at home. “I have something for you.” She said quietly, letting him out of the hug, and giving him a small package wrapped in brown paper and tied with twine. “You can open it later if you'd like.” She gave his head a kiss, and gave his hair a ruffle before standing up. She reached out for Sal's hand to hold.

Emmy looked mad. So mad.

Fire-breathing-momma-dragon mad.

Mel’s eyes widened as she heard Emmy saying her full name. “Emmmmmy” she groaned and pouted at the older lady, “okay but only because we have to get on the train” she added with a somewhat defiant head nod before hopping off of her trolly…”he left you?” Mel gasped, “Spaaacey? You shouldn’t have left her.” Mel huffed at her friend but still was smiling all the while.

And then Space-Ace was being pulled away by Emmy and it as the touchy feely mum time…that’s what that looked like right? ”I wish I had a mum-person” Mel huffed as she stood there now fully on the ground. “Sammy where on the train do you want to sit?” She asked immediately plastering her happy smile on her face. After all it was her first train ride to Hogwarts ever.
