We're going for our fourth term in a row now, right?" Heh. Yeah. She WAS pretty proud.
"Mmhmm, me too," Mariel told Becca as she glanced over at another boy who had walked into their compartment. Merlin, it was getting crowded in here. "Yes, fourth," she grinned widely as she nodded, subtly glancing at all present. She was pretty sure she had heard this new boy address the unfamiliar girl as Slytherin's Captain. The third year didn't care if Slytherin had a new Captain or not; Ravenclaw was not letting go of the Quidditch Cup. She'd make sure of that. Turning back to Becca, she added, "So, thinking of playing this year?" She did an amazing job last year and hoped that they'd be teammmates again.

She settled into Steven's lap and pulled his hands around her waist to keep from rocking from side to side with ever lurch of the train. "Thank you Daniel. That is very sweet of you." She didn't think he knew her that well, but it was still nice to hear. "Well I hope to give you a good show and a few wins then." She winked. She hoped that Slytherin took home the cup this year.
She was pretty sure the girl she didn't know hadn't heard her as yet another boy came strolling in and seemed awfully comfortable with said girl. They appeared to be boyfriend and girlfriend, a concept still novel to the thirteen year old. Shrugging to herself, Mariel looked up in surprise as the girl then seemed to notice the Ravenclaw and introduced herself. "Hi, Paris, I'm Mariel," she answered. Well, at least she seemed friendly enough toher. Maybe she just had some problem with Becca.
Right, of course she'd want to know about her Quidditch plans being the competition... "Well, last year I played Keeper and Seeker," she said lightly. "And the year before, I played Beater. I suppose my favorite of the three is Keeper," she added after a brief moment's thought.

Leaning back just as she was about to enter the compartment she overheard the last part of a conversation. Looking back at Mariel she held up her finger and walked down the hall. Stopping in front of the two boys, she flipped her long dark hair and put a hand on her hip. "Now boys, can't we learn to play nice?"
Looking up at Lasca expectantly as she set her trunk inside, Mariel's face then mirrored slight confusion as the girl stepped back out. Weird, but maybe she just forgot something. It didn't appear that she was leaving anyway as she left her trunk, but it was getting increasingly crowded...

"Actually, I think I"m leaving. Need some air and all that," Cope headed for the door. PDA eek!
"Guilty as charged, Becca. I'm very much a Ravenclaw, although I don't find anyting wrong with that. And I DID hear your playing last term... it was impressive. I didn't know it was a real instrument, to be honest. Thought it was a radio. I'll... catch you later, unless you fancy a stroll to the food trolley. Anyone?" He raised an eyebrow at Mariel too.
...An opinion that Copernicus seemed to share as he appeared to get up to leave, offering Lasca his seat before she had ducked out. Food trolley? That actually sounded like a good idea, and while he didn't ask her specifically to go, he did sorta look in her direction when he asked if anyone wanted to go. Nodding her agreement, she got up to leave as well, even if only for a little while. And even if only to get some fresh air as relief from her claustrophobia. "Sure," Mariel announced, "I could really go for a pumpkin pasty.." She looked around to see if anyone else was coming before she'd head out.
