But things were going to be different because she was tired of being tired. That's why she needed to sit with family. She didn't want to talk to anyone else right now; others would just get on her nerves, and an argument was the very last thing she needed on her first night back. She was also maybe not-so-secretly hoping that some of Mercer's first year enthusiasm would rub off on her. She loved Mercer and Cooper lots and it was nice to share this with them. But. But there was a big Teddy and Phoebe sized hole in her heart.

Making her way into the compartment, she climbed onto the seat nearest the window, looking outside wistfully and letting baby Jimothy nuzzle her neck affectionately. He didn't want to be going to Hogwarts either, she could tell. He was really scared. He was terrified.

"How are you feeling, Big M?" She turned to look at her littlest cousin. She'd try to be pleasant and not-sulky for his sake. But no promises for anyone else.

Stocking up a bit at the Food Trolley while there with Celyn, Cooper had plenty of snacks for all of them between those purchases and the pastry mum had made absolutely sure he tucked into his bag in abundance for his younger brother and sister's first train ride to Hogwarts. Despite his impulse buying, he was also trying to ration things...so to speak...so no one was too full to not enjoy the bounties the house elves had waiting for them upon arrival to the Great Hall. He was also acutely aware that Nerina was not present, but there was a certain aura about Kinsay this whole day that told him now was not the time to try and split his energy more.

Two little cousins to look out for and his own siblings...this was going to be quite the term and that was not even factoring his on absurdities in. And NEWTs. Ooooooooh boy NEWTs...the future...

...one step at a time...and right now step one was following Kinsay to the compartment of her choosing.

Something...was off with his little cousin and he felt it was not just because of Phoebe and Teddy's graduation - though he was also sure that that made up a large part of the tension too.

Smiling, and humming under his breath, Cooper patted his pocket for a random shoelace that had found its way into his pocket and stayed their all summer and wiggled it towards Kinsay's new ~~not ducknapped~~ pet.

"Either of you in the need of a pick-me-up? Got plenty to snack on." he asked, surrendering the shoelace and pulling his back around front to get his camera out as he flopped into the seat opposite of Kinsay. "Mom packed your favorite too, Mercer."
