Then the conversation turned to Quidditch.
"Ahh yes,I think WE won that last year...I distinctly remember the celebration in the common room," she said,leaning over to Mariel and winking at her.
"I'm sure you will get on the team again...and win games for the Ravvies.I'm not even going to try.I mean you remember my attempts in flying class last time..I was lucky I didn't kill myself,and others." Laughing again she took some jelly babies out of her pocket and began to eat them,before offering them around to the others.
"You guys want one? They're Jelly Babies...really nice.I thought I'd pack some of my own sweets for the journey," she smiled.
"So are you a good flyer Lasca? Practice at home?"

Sarah could tell by Lasca and Mariel's response to her house question that it had been asked before.
"Sorry Lasca,I guess that is something you have answered alot lately!"
Then she agreed and nodded as Mariel mentioned the other questions likely to be asked of her. "Yep that is pretty much all I got asked last year too.It'll wear off after a while," she smiled.
"I'm the only witch in my family,so there was no particular house I was expecting.Slytherin sounds nice,though,Kevin," she said nodding in his direction. "I guess another Ravvie means I'm surrounded by smart people! Don't show me up for the idiot I am too often will you?" she giggled.

Sarah watched as Mariel fed the owls and it reminded her of Screech.She hadn't bought the owl with her this year as he has flown into a window during the summer and hurt a wing.Any message sent would have to be via the school owls...hopefully they didn't bite!

Then the door went again and a face appeared.It was Gryffie Boy from the flying lesson last year.Sarah remembered him...and his first meeting with Mariel.
"Hi Nathaniel," she said,smiling at him as Mariel introduced them all.She had met him before but she wasn't sure he remembered her.
Boy is this compartment getting busy!, she thought,looking round at all the people.
"We have to start moving soon...I don't think the train will fit anymore people!" she giggled looking out the window at the platform.She was trying to see if her parents were still there to wave to,but they weren't.
Too busy going off shopping I expect.
