She glanced over her shoulder at her brother to see if he was even listening to a word she was saying. Not that she would mind finding an empty compartment though where they could be joined by their friends or well her friends? Uh... his friends? Yeah, she wasn't even sure. Most of her friends that came to visit over the summer had met him so they were now his friends too, right?
There was a compartment just up ahead with the door open just a bit. Someone was no doubt inside by the quiet voices she could hear coming from within. Time to find out who. Rylee gave a light knock first before sliding the door open more and peering inside. "Hello," she smiled greeting the two girls inside, both she didn't recognize at all. "Mind if we join you?" It couldn't hurt to make new friends.

"Right," she grabbed her wand, "I'm hexing you, hold still."
And then....and then the door opened! And a bright eager face popped in, with another face in tow. Quinn shot one of her amazingly withering glares at Beth - with extra wither, even! This was clearly all Beth's fault. She had disrupted the locking spell, which totally worked by the way until her neighbor happened. It was all Beth's fault.
"Yes." Quinn kept her voice flat and went back to her book now that that was all taken care of. Too bad for Quinn, just saying 'yes,' is a bit ambiguous and can be interpreted as 'yes, I mind,' which is how she meant it, or 'yes, you may join us,' which tends to be how most people interpret it. Clearly, if the interlopers didn't get it right, that'd be all Beth's doing too.

So, this kid was very much used to it and honestly he'd be doing the same thing if he wasn't already pre-occupied with his new surroundings. " Yeah.. Alright.. Just lead the way.. ", he said with an easy nod as he looked into the compartments which seemed to be filling fast with groups of friends and such..
Honestly, he was glad he had his sister to help him with the awkward business of talking to people freely. That was something he tended to have a hard time with now and again.. It was something that he probably should work on, but really he preferred the company of Pulsar and Radar, his foxes he had cared for since they were kits. Reese sighed at the memory of the look in his foxes' eyes when he told them he was leaving to go off to school by showing them is trunk packed and his other things put away that were normally left thrown all over his room..
Being an introvert, Reese, didn't have many friends.. Frankly, the poor boy only really had one friend and that was his sister.. He didn't count anyone as friends per say... Acquaintances .. Sure, but not really friends yet.. He didn't know anyone well enough to give them that distinction.
So, silently he paused behind her as she asked if they might join a compartment with a couple girls she seemed to know?
Reese looked over his sister's shoulder and gave the girls within a small friendly smile. They seemed nice enough alright.. He gave a nod of his head, sending his long copper curls bouncing around his pale, freckled face. " Thanks.. ", he said in a soft voice.. And in he went to take a seat by the window.
Looking from one compartment to another, little children seemed to be huddling together with older ones, probably families, others didn't seemed to be too open for a chatter like Oli. A number of them choosing to sleep their way until Hogwarts. Which doesn't seemed like a good idea. This will be Olivia's very first train ride to Hogwarts, she needed to make sure this is going to be a day she will remember.
On her quest, Oli saw a girl and a boy a few compartments ahead of her. They were also looking for a place to stay. Inspecting the inside first, she then saw the girl knocking into one door.
Following their lead, half run towards the two. And stop.
Oli looked over the closed space. One. Two. Three. Four. She could still slip herself, right?
Oli knocked twice, not attempting to slide the door herself. Or not. She slid the door open.
"Can I join you?" Oli almost pleaded.
"There were no more available compartments." Of course, that was a lie. What she meant was there were no more private compartments. Private is good. But crowded is better.
