Hogwarts RPG Name: Andromeda Renzler-Denaker Gryffindor First Year | Jace/Stefan Fluttery Pegasi Quote:

Slipping into an empty compartment, Jace made himself comfortable by sitting...and scooting to the side, and eventually laid himself on the seat occupying it fully. He can still fit in one, making the second year grunt in disgust. At the very least, he probably grew half an inch over the summer.
What a bummer. Hadley had reached the back cars, but was still feeling restless and wasn't quite ready to head back to her compartment up in the front. Asher, the ash colored ferret, was draped across her shoulders, content to be along for the ride. Every now and then, he would try to nibble her hair.
Both the ferret and Hads had changed a lot over the summer. Most noticeably, was the calmness. Neither the girl or the ferret were the spazzy balls of energy they where last year. Yet, the energy was still there, in both of them, menacingly just below the surface. More than that, Hadley looked different. She had grown another inch over the summer and now stood 5 foot 3, and with less than 24 hours until she was officially a teenage, she already looked the part.
Someone caught her eye as she passed another compartment and a bit of the old Haddie returned. Her hand slipped into her messenger bag, closing around the dreaded sharpie. The same one that had been used to decorate Rachel's face last year. She had planned to use it again on Jace the next time he pretended not to see her. Hey, if she was gonna be invisible, she might as well have some fun with it. Of course, naturally, the next time they were in the same place together, he had surprised her and acknowledged her existence for the first time, robbing her of her chance.
Let's see what happened this time. Especially with the shirt she was wearing. If anything would want to make Jace pretend she didn't exist again, it would probably be that. Hadley held up a finger to her lips, silently telling Asher to be silent. Believe it or not, it wasn't just for show. That had been one of the things she trained him on over summer. Together they slipped quietly into the compartment and sat down on the seat opposite of Jace--he actually fit in the whole length of the seat?-- and waited for the boy to realize he wasn't alone.
