She was just ugly. And smelly. Those would make anyone stop and back up some.
But ohohoho she said some magic words "Quest? Danger?" the curly haired boy grinned at the sound of it. Wild imaginings of knights and dragon slaying ensues in his head. "That sounds cool! Where do we sign up?--" he stopped short and glanced back at the girl again and muttered "--I mean are you up for this? You gotta be up for this. She just said we'll have a journey together."
Never mind the fact that he doesn’t even know the girl's name. Introductions-- aint nobody got time fo' dat. They goin' on a quest! Quote:

She had assumed he was talking to her when he made that comment, but who knew? She had been focused on something else entirely.
Then he was sniffing at her! O_O. Ariadne made a face and edged away, but then she started laughing. "That's not me!" she said, her laughter becoming lighter and lighter. There WAS still a mysterious, weird woman amongst them. On that note, her gaze traveled toward the woman, but she also had an answer for the boy's question, too. "Uh uh," she said, shaking her head, "I don't know who she is."
...and now she was talking to them! *GASP*
"Our quest?" she asked. "What quest?" And this woman wanted to help them? Riiiight. Because it was just perfectly normal to befriend some random, scary stranger and just follow her along on some mysterious quest. She was pretty sure this fell within the 'don't take candy from a stranger' category.
Ariadne jumped ever so slightly when the woman's long finger was pointed her way. "A journey together that will find us in many dangers?" she asked. Ohhh, yeah! Her mama had used about that very same description when telling her how Hogwarts might unfold for her. Seemed something dangerous wound up happening every year anyway. "Okay, well, erm, thanks for the warning... What's your name, by the way? Does the Headmistress know you're here?"
Ariadne looked at the boy as if he'd just grown three heads and an extra arm. "You're a Gryffindor, aren't you?" she asked, giving him a small, amused smile. "I don't know. I think we should get some more information first." She said this in a whisper, not wanting the woman to overhear her in case she decided to point that long, scary finger in her direction again. "This doesn't scream 'stranger danger' to you at all?" Ariadne kind of wanted to take three steps backward and turn and run, but then it was also a good idea to keep the woman in sight. That way she didn't have to be afraid of her lurking behind her back.

Taking a deep breath she just stopped…
“is there a zombie on here?” She muttered and looked around as she walked forward through the front of the train. Sticking her nose in the air the little brunette just began sniffing around…and that was when she found them.
“ACE!” hi….”do you…oh….” She blinked and saw that her was with another kid….and an old granperson….”so that’s what I smelled” she muttered and just stepped into the compartment.
Mel DID listen to the old hag when she spoke. “Quest?” She squealed “quests are fun” she happily chirped and just looked at Ariadne and Ace. “I’m Mel” she added introducing herself because after all she was asking wrinkles over there what her name was. “It only screams stranger danger if we don’t pay attention to her and don’t keep her in our sights…or ear shot” Mel muttered as she searched through her bag and pulled out and extendable ear and walking right up to the lil’old haggatha she attached it to her.
The children seemed excited by her words and the hag cackled more, "You have signed up for these dangers stepping onto this train. Your fate has been sealed. You will not be able to back out now." Her crazy eyes looked to each other them before snatching the ones hand that tried to touch her. "Never come up to someone to put magic on them if they don't want it deary. It is the best way to lose a hand." She let go of the girls arm and moved her finger making the ear vanish. Her bird squawked at them. "The dangers will be worse for you all now." Turning she headed further down the corridor. Quote:

The definition of the card, however, confused him, and Jay looked at the boy trying to hide almost comically behind his tiny little frame. He didn't seem to know what it had meant either...
Jay trailed after her again, head tilted to one side, Sniffler beginning to squirm in his hands. He shifted the little creature into one and absently patted his own cheek. He knew he was cute, his mom said so all the time. It was kinda embarrassing, actually.
"Worthy of what...?" he let himself get a little closer. "Can I look at the thing too? The reverse thing?"
Was the card magic? His mom had magic cards, but he wasn't allowed to play with them. Maybe her magic cards were the same as this old lady's. This one was still following her. How easy to slip in a compartment it could be. Would anyone miss one child? Turning back to him she eyed the boy for a moment, "You have great challenges ahead and most you will not be worthy enough to succeed." She pulled the card out of her bag and handed it to the boy. "I expect that back deary." Quote:

It was as if Maggy the Frog was real, which was intriguing and yet also disturbing. Especially on the Express. She wasn’t about to leave, though. It was much too intriguing, watching the hag with a slightly raised eyebrow. That and watching the little kids who were daring to get close, and the Hufflepuff trying to give her a lecture.
That was just stupid, and so was all the talk of reversed empresses and mythical quests. At least, it was boring. Obviously kicking the hag off the train wasn’t going to work, and neither was poking at her. All that would do was make the smell worse. Stepping closer to another one with eyes on her she gave a wicked grin, "You my dear have the vibes of a true witch. One that is full of terror and destruction that will bring great opportunities to you." As she continued walked she sniffed their air. The children's scent was too strong. Reaching into her bag she pulled out a bottle of old smelly perfume and sprayed it around.
