Why was there an old man on the train?

Esme had so many questions because she had never seen that happen before. Was he really bad at magic and STILL getting his education? Or was he a Professor? If so, why was he on the train? As far as she knew the Professors didn't ride to Hogwarts with the students.

Esme was rather confused.

Curiously she followed behind a younger boy and entered the compartment. There was a girl inside and she looked to be the same age as Teddy. How cool would it be if she was his sister! He had told her that they looked nothing alike, so she was just as good a possibility as any Second Year girl.

"Er, hello." She waved. "Are you a Professor?" she asked the old man.

Was that a rat?

She bit her lip as she looked around.. She was starting to panic slightly, what if she didn't find anywhere to sit? What if she had to sit with a bunch of people that ignored her? What if no one liked her?

Tears were starting to swim in her purple eyes as she walked further and she caught sight of a familiar face in a compartment! It was Jace!

Her little feet moved her forwards, onto to see that once she got close that he was in there with Esme, Ava and a professor! It looked pretty full though and Azura bit her lip a little as she waved at the full compartment.. before moving on.. tears sliding down her cheeks as she tried to find somewhere to sit.

Squeak squeak squeak.


"Oh.... hello," he said, giving the impression that he had forgotten he had company. Didn't she just say hello? Yes? But.. too old? He looked at her, blinking a few times. Was she being rude or was did she just have the confidence that the young seemed to have? "I-I..." he blinked a few more times. "One is only as old as they feel. And I... well, I feel..." what did he feel today? "Energetic." He nodded as if that settled things. See? He wasn't old.

The compartment door slid open and Art looked across, then down, to see a young gentleman come in. He seemed to be in a bit of a panic, which made Art re-think this compartment... but then there was a greeting. Art was confused. Was the young man worried or... calm? He picked up the greeting immediately. Japanese. Ahh. Art put his palms together, "Ohayo gozaimasu young man," he said, saying good morning in reply.

Squeak squeak squeak.


And then the young man started walking backwards and... and.... well that was clumsy! "Er.... do-do you need to... to uh... hmmm... can... can I help?" he asked, awkwardly. What was the matter? He was not equipped to dealing with the emotions of young people.

Great Scott, and another one came in. Asking if he was a Professor. "I... I..." how should he answer this? Well, the logical way, he thought. He nodded once. "Iyyy uh... I will be in-in a few hours." And he smiled. Not yet, though, he was off duty.

GREAT BLIMING SCOTT was that a young lady CRYING out there? Art pulled his Madame Curie from his shoulder and frowned at her. "I never know what to do... I know, I know. But... I'm sure there's others that can..." Art sighed and nodded to his rat.

Squeak squeak squeak.


Art nodded again, but then the rat seemed to go into a shrieking frenzy! It took Art a few moments of trying to calm her with her favourite tune before he looked around and saw that on the young lady's lap was... a cat. Art's eyes instantly widened, and he put his Madame Curie deep into the pocket of his sweater. She was safe there, and he could feel her relaxing. No, his Madame did not like cats.

Maybe she should ask what was his occasion to join them here because she was curious, yo! What if he was a bad man who wanted to kidnap them? Well... he didn't look that evil. And then there's another person came to their compartment. "Oh, hello Jace!" Ava smiled to his Japanese buddy. "Yes, of course he's with me. Why don't you come inside and join us?" She suggested but... she noticed that Jace looked a little bit... frightened. Was it because of the old man?

Another person then wanted to join them at this compartment. Woah, it's so full! Hopefully her twin brother wouldn't mind with this. She knew perfectly that Teddy didn't like noise and crowds... But she couldn't refuse these people and also, this blonde girl seemed know her brother. "Hey there." Ava smiled at her. Maybe she's one of his friend... Yes, friend. Definitely not girlfriend and she's not gonna blurt out asking if they're dating because... If that happened, Teddy would gonna run away from this compartment and find a place to hide and not gonna talk to her probably until... forever.

It took a moment for her to digest the blonde girl's question to the old man... Professor? Him? The young lioness couldn't help but gasped. "Oh, you are a new Professor?!! Merlin I uh..." She stuttered, wished that she could pull back her words before to him. "Uh... sorry?" Because she accidentally blurted out again... Merlin, she really needed to control her verbal function. "What are you gonna teach, Professor?" Defense Against the Dark Arts? Probably not. Or maybe History of Magic? It seemed so. Or Transfiguration? Potions?

She noticed that there's another person (woah, she didn't know that she and her twin brother were that popular so EVERYBODY wanted to sit with them!) wanted to join. She recognized that girl, Azura. But... Did they still have a room? And was she just crying? Oh no... Did she break her nose again? For now... Ava didn't know what to do... HELLO? Perhaps someone could help her?

And then the old man Professor kept his rat on his pocket. It's good that Preston was currently sleeping not. Pat pat. She knew that her precious Russian blue cat wouldn't eat mice or rats but... It's just the cat instinct that it would chase those two creatures?

She had wanted to ask the old man what he was doing here - and was pleased by his answer - but there were so many people coming around that it was getting a little hard to keep track of everything. "What subject are you going to teach?" she asked her soon-to-be Professor. He looked kind of nerdy, so she wondered what he specialized in. "What's your rat's name? She's friendly, right?" Because Esme didn't want to start off her term at Hogwarts by getting a rat bite; she liked animals but she had her limits.

...

Was that Azura she saw crying?

Surprised, Esme was going to step out and see what was wrong, but peeking her head outside the door, she saw that a boy (Torie) seemed to be calming her down. That was great and made her smile. She didn't want to see Azura cry, and it was nice that the boy was helping her. She turned her attention back to the others in the compartment.

Oh. Hi, Teddy!

She hadn't noticed him at first because so much had happened and he was quiet. She hoped he didn't mind. Esme sent him a smile and waved at him. He was the quiet type, so she wouldn't be surprised if he ended up leaving the compartment to find somewhere else to sit. "You're Ava, right?" she asked the girl sitting by him. "He told me a bit about you because I have a twin too - mine's a sister." So she thought it was cool to know someone who also had a twin!

Esme next turned her focus to the young boy (Jace) and sent him a smile too. "Hi."



Things didn’t process properly when Ava spoke, and asked the man things...he kept his eyes on the rat, that kept on squeaking. SQUEAKING. A real, live rat, making rat noises. Jace wanted to lose consciousness right then and there, because this man actually kept a rat in his person. The eleven year old could feel the hairs on his arms and back stand as the rat kept on squeaking.

As he kept his back plastered against the compartment door, Jace didn’t notice Azura pass by. He’d love to ask why she’s sad, and comfort her, but...seriously, the rat situation is just...too much for the young boy right now.

Greeting were postponed for now because he was too preoccupied—

AND WHY WAS THAT RAT ACTING WEIRD!?!?! Jace bumped the back of his head against the compartment door real hard, and at the same time, squirmed, thinking and praying to the heavens that the rat won’t touch him.

His prayer was...somehow granted when somebody opened the closed compartment door by an older girl. Jace lost his balance, stumbling back, and hitting the closed door in front of their compartment. “Yeeeeeeooooouuuuccch...” the eleven year old rubbed the side of his head, as he pushed himself up from the floor.

Okay, seriously. A hag...and a rat? This Hogwarts Express train ride IS intense!

Standing on the threshold, Jace kept on rubbing his head, and asked the man straight out, “Why do you have a rat as a pet?!?!” he said in full-blown Japanese. He’s too shocked to process everything in English. Sorry, mister.

He briefly looked around, and finally saw the newcomer (Esme), "Ohayo." he said with a bow.

Now...back to that rat.
