The mixture sound of rolling wheels and clicking heels made their way towards the platform. It was none other than Miss Violet Le Veela strutting in her boots onto the platform pushing her cart. Following right beside her was a now bigger looking Sadie, and behind her her parents, Evee, and Rosalie. She reached the train and she looked at it squealing with excitement and then she opened her arms allowing Sadie to hop up into her arms. Violet looked at her family and then said,"Hurry up you guys, the train's going to be leaving soon!" She gently stroked Sadie as she waited. Her violet eyes traveled to Isis who looked right back at her with her piercing eyes and Violet gave her a warm smile. Then she suddenly began to run around her cart nervously making sure that she had everything. She did know that she checked after she packed, before they left, as soon as they arrived at King's Cross and now.

"Vi, darling, the train is not going to leave without you...And honey, you know that you have everything, don't worry.." Emmeline held a 2 year old Rosalie who was nibbling on one of her toys. Emmeline couldn't help but give her baby girl a kiss on the cheek for she was too adorable. She then looked at Violet and smiled at her eldest daughter and said,"Now remember do not forget to keep eye on Sadie, I know you know that already darling but I'm just making sure because remember last time she ended up in the Astronomy Tower.." Emmeline then added on,"And don't you forget to write us every chance you get.."

Darrien couldn't help but chuckle at how Violet always would have a panic attack thinking that she forgot something, when everyone including Violet knew that she had what she needed. And he couldn't help but shake his head at Emmeline with a smile whenever she always gave Violet the same speech before she left. When he figured Violet go the point he gently rubbed Emmeline's back saying,"I think she's got it love.." He kissed her cheek and then walked over to Violet and then said,"Remember what I told you Vi, I think you really should consider trying out for Quidditch this year, Jake's been telling me that Selina keeps saying you show a lot of promise..Think about it...For me, okay?" He gave her a light nod and kissed her head.

Violet heard her mother and then said,"I know you're right mother, I'm sorry..You how I worry.." Then when her father came to talk to her she smiled at him and nodded her head saying lightly,"Alright...For you.." She turned her attention to Evelyn who stood smiling at her with her sweet smile. Violet smiled back at her and gave her a hug with her free arm and said,"Still wish you were coming to Hogwarts with me Evee..But if mother's right..I'm sure you're going to love it at Beauxbatons..Make sure you tell me all about it..."

Evelyn gave her older sister a big hug and held onto her for a few moments trying to make the hug linger. She nodded her head and then said,"I'll write you every day Violet..Promise.." Evelyn then held out her pinky for a pinky promise and the two locked pinkies then to seal they both kissed their hands. The two sisters couldn't help but giggle a little. Evelyn had to admit she was a little scared to be going to school without Violet, for she knew that it would at least help Evee open up more because she knew that unlike Violet, Evee was rather shy.

Last but not least was little Rosalie who kept reaching out her arms towards Violet saying in the cutest voice ever, "Bilet! Bilet!" Violet giggle and handed Sadie to her father and opened her arms and her mother handed Rosalie over to Violet. She then said,"And you precious...I expect I'll be seeing you when Christmas comes right?" Rosalie nodded her head adding a cute laugh along with. "Now what about a kiss before Violet leaves hm?" Rosalie then leaned forward giving her a kiss on the cheek then Violet squealed a little bit which made Rosalie laugh. Violet learned early that when she was a baby and always acted like her giddy-bubbly it always made Rosalie laugh out loud. And Violet to this day still does it. Violet then gave her baby sister a big hug kissing her on the cheek this time.

Selina had escaped, um left, her family at the entrance of the Platform. Her mother was becoming unbearable as the travel continued on. It was as if Sophie Skylar did not want her daughter to rush her. But Selina could not help it, she wanted to get on the Platform so she could get back to school. She missed the hallowed halls of Hogwarts more than anything and now that she was within minutes of the train all of the excitement she had held in all summer was boiling over in a fight of jitters.

As she maneuvered her way around the crowds of Witches and Wizards Selina caught sight of a familiar mane of blonde hair. She snuck up behind the blonde and poked her sides, "Aha! I got you! Now put your hands up Le Veela!"

Violet jumped and a little shriek escaped her lips when she felt someone touch her sides where she was most ticklish. She spun around which sort of resemble a twirl and her violet eyes met a pair of blue. She gasped and then said,"Sely! Oh Merlin! Hi!" Violet turned to her baby sister and then said,"Look Rosie, it's Selina you remember? Say hi!" She waved towards Selina and looked at Rosalie trying to get to her do the same.

It didn't take long for Rosalie to follow. She giggled and nodded her head then she waved her little hand towards the redhead imitating Violet. Then she said,"Hi Lina!" She smiled at her.

Selina had to hold in a snort at the noise that Violet had just let creep out. It was a combination of a squeak and a scream. So a muffled cat then she supposed. "Please, you're fine." Selina's blue eyes lifted to look up at the Le Veela's and Mr. Harper, "Hello Mrs. Le Veela, Mr. Harper, Ev."

Then her eyes diverted to look at what Violet was referring to when she spoke about Rosie. Her eyes met the beautiful eyes of Rosie Le Veela and Selina's lips turned upward into a smile. In one swift motion she scooped up Rosie in her arms and bounced her up and down, "Well hello there Rosie. You been good since I've seen you last? Keeping your sisters entertained I suppose?"

Daphne stood on the platform, feeling quite excited. She was so looking forward to a new term at Hogwa-----

"WHAAATTTTT!?" Daphne felt something hit her from behind but fortunately, she balanced herself by holding on to her trolley. She took a deep breath and calmed herself before turning around to find a girl and her trolley on the ground. "Oh my God." The sixteen year old hurried forward to extend her hand towards the girl. "Are you okay?" That must have been a nasty fall." She winced, when she saw all her baggage strewn about.

Emmeline smiled brightly at Miss Selina Skylar and then said,"Hello Selina, how are you dear?" Then she added on,"Mr. Harper, Evelyn, Rosie and I are actually going to be going to Whitley to have lunch with your parents...Of course after we see you girls off.."

Darrien then said,"What's new Selina? You excited to be going into your Third Year? We know Vi is.." He chuckled lightly.

Evelyn's faced brightened when she saw Selina approach them. She then waved eagerly at her saying,"Hi Selina!"

Violet was a little shocked when Selina had swiftly taken Rosalie out of Violet's arms. She put her hands on her hips and then got a little nervous when Selina began bouncing the baby girl. "Sely, please don't drop my baby sister.." She then added,"I'm not saying you will, but I'm just saying.."

Rosalie nodded her head and said sweetly,"Yes.." She then held up her toy and said,"Look what I got..It's a un-corn! Rosalie held the plush unicorn in Selina's face and shook it then laughed cheerfully.

Smiling at the boy, she noticed a flash of skepticism cross his face for half a second? What was that all about? Was Ellie a bad name? Or were there already rumors flying around about her being the Wicked Witch of the West? Huh. She wouldn't put it past a certain 3rd year Ravenclaw to spread that one around. But Ellie just shrugged it off; it was probably nothing anyway.

Fifth year, eh? Not too much younger than herself, though he actually looked a bit older. "Well then, welcome to the Hogwarts Express. I think you'll really like Hogwarts. Most people do." Most being the keyword. She had met a few people who hated it, but that wasn't necessary to tell. "Where are you transferring from? Ellie asked Adam. That was always interesting to hear. Salem, Beauxbatons, Durmstrang, or some other foreign place no one had hear of.

Ellie nodded with a smile. "Yep. This'll be my sixth year." Wow. Six years and she was still alive and well. Incredible, really. And it was amazing how fast time flew, too. She could still remember walking into Ollivander's the first time with her father and getting her first wand. Sigh.

Selina smiled at Mrs. Le Veela and said sweetly, "Have fun at lunch. My parents are actually around somewhere. Mum is fussing over Christopher and Elyon because its her first year seeing them off. She had to buy them all new robes and clothes and such so she's checking that everything is in order," she added the next bit under her breath, "Mental that woman is, I'm telling you."

Then her eyes averted to Mr. Harper and she saluted the man, "Hello sir. And I'm fine. You know just getting ready to head back to school and gearing up for Quidditch try outs and all." It always got back to Quidditch somehow.

Selina winked at Evelyn before she turned back to the worried face of Violet. She rolled her eyes and said, "Please Violet. Out of everyone here I am the most capable of handling your sister. Who has the best coordination here? I do, I'm not going to drop her," she turned her face back to Rosie's and added in baby talk, "Isn't that right, Rosie? Isn't that right? And that's a pretty unicorn. Do you want a real one?"



Selina was rushing down the platform was such enthusiasm that one might think she was running from something. However, all of her anxious energy came from her mere excitement at getting to go back to Hogwarts. She quite literally been waiting all summer to go back to school because it was where Selina felt the most in tune with who she was as a person. There was her lessons, her friends and most of all the prospect of possibly making the Quidditch team again this year. That thought always put a fire under her butt.

As she ran down the platform her blue eyes caught sight of a pair of abnormal, yet familiar purple eyes that Selina knew so well, "Kurumi!" Selina let out loudly. She jogged over to her friend and then slapped her friends shoulder, "How are you? Merlin, I can't believe we're heading back."

Kurumi began coughing when she felt something like a Beater's bat connect with her shoulder. She certainly hadn't been expecting something like that to happen. Then again, no one ever really thought that something would randomly collide with their shoulder.

When she had finally caught her breath, she turned around to see Selina beaming like a sun at her. Kurumi thought that she wouldn't need her sunglasses anymore seeing as her and Treyen wouldn't be spending much time with each other anymore - or so it seemed - but she was thinking that she could use them right now.

"SELINA!" she chirped, rubbing her shoulder for a moment before hugging her friend. "I've been looking for you! I-I-I have something to tell you..."

Her hands fumbled in her pockets for her badge.

Selina smiled at her friend and returned the hug happily. When the two broke apart Selina added anxiously, "Only a little bit longer and we have the train ahead of us and then... the Pitch." Selina was seriously missing the Pitch back at Hogwarts. Hers at home was nice and all for practice, but she missed the grass and the people who went flying with her during the school year at Hogwarts. GAHH! She just needed her broom right now!

Kurumi mentioned something about news to which Selina responded, "I have news too. I heard from a few people that we Jai is our new male prefect! They also mentioned our female prefect, but no one seems to really know who she is, isn't that odd? Anyway what was your news?"

"Train ride...right..." she said sheepishly as her eyes glanced down at the ground. She wished that there was a stone or stick or something that she could kick right now, just something to take her mind off the train ride. The thought of Quidditch didn't even freak her out right now. She would gladly go and play in ten matches right now as Seeker. "Have to see if I make the team again this year," she nodded nervously, again, reaching into her pocket and fumbling with its contents.

"Oh, really, Jai is?" Kurumi said, trying not to look like her surprise was to forced. That was something else she was worried about. Her and Jai had never spoken outside of greetings on the Quidditch Pitch once or twice during tryouts. After that, she never saw him.

Sighing again, Kurumi pulled her hand out of her pocket, clutched in a tight little fist. Slowly, she turned it over and revealed a small badge in her hand.

Selina agreed with Kurumi, "Yeah same here, I guess we'll both have to just see what happens. Either way I just can't wait to get re-aquatinted with the Pitch." It was as much as a home to her than her own home. Of course she would never tell her mother that, the wrath of Sophia Skylar was not a fate Selina tended to reckon with.

When Kurumi grew uncomfortable under Selina's news she perched her eyebrows expectantly. She finally fumbled and came out with her badge. Selina crossed her arms and let her jaw jet out slightly, "Yeah I know... I heard you and John talking about it earlier."

Re-acquainted? Had Selina ever become un-acquainted with the pitch? Didn't Selin literally have dirt flowing through her veins or something? "I don't think you have anything to worry about," Kurumi giggled. "You're the best Chaser on the team we have." There were all those new first years coming in, along with whatever transfer students there might be coming in. Kurumi began tugging on her hair.

Now it was Kurumi's turn to drop her jaw. "Y-Y-You heard? B-But I thought you just said that no one..." Had Selina been teasing her? The red head was known to pull Kurumi's leg on several occasions.

Selina blushed at Kurumi's praise. She was never really one for compliments, Selina was always the one who was giving out the compliments, not the other way around. Her weight shirted back and forth and she moved from foot to foot, "Thanks, but um, I have to try out like everyone else. Talent changes from year to year, you know?"

Kurumi's jaw dropped, "Yeah I heard. I heard... second. It's not like I expected to be told first, but John? I mean I know that you two got really close and all, I mean I must sound so stupid, but you didn't tell me. And I saw you a ton of times this summer and you didn't tell me. I can't help but feel like it was just unimportant to tell me."

All thoughts regarding Quidditch were quickly thrown out the window when Selina turned into a fireball before her eyes. And what all was she implying with her getting close with Jonathan? They had only spent the good portion of an afternoon together trying to save Selina from whatever was going on in that maze. "I-I-I didn't want to tell anyone," she said, her cheeks burning bright pink. "I was planning on telling you first, it just sort of slipped out while we were talking about..." Kurumi bit her tongue. She knew how Selina hated it when she moped around in things that had happened. Especially when those things related to boys. "...Treyen..."

Violet crossed her arms,"Coming from the girl who can't brew potions...Yes..I feel very safe with my baby sister when there's a possibility of something blowing up.." She jokingly stuck her tongue out at her.

Emmeline laughed lightheartedly saying,"Well I know that I wouldn't be any different than the way your mother is..I don't blame her at all.."

Darrien laughed as well lightly,"That's good to hear, hey can you make sure that Miss Violet doesn't get nervous about trying out this year..I keep telling her that she really should give it a shot.."

Rosalie giggled when Selina spoke to her in a baby voice. Then she said sweetly,"It is real Lina! Mummy put a spell on it!"

Emmeline smiled and nodded her head saying,"Yes, we obviously couldn't show up in King's Cross with an actual Unicorn...Talk about madness..So we put a little enchantment on Buttercup so Rosalie could carry her and not be upset..They've been inseparable ever since Darrien rescued it from nearly starving death...They are beyond adorable with one another.."

Fee stood there and couldnt help but smile as she saw Hugo.They had been seperated for soo long.Where had this summer gone?!Noticing that th boy didnt feel too well with the situation right know either the blonde hugged him back instead of kissing him like she wanted to. It was beyond cute how he blushed and the girl giggled a little.

Turning around as she heard a female voice saying her name,the Slytherin was greeted by a beautiful woman.Hugo's mother.Oh please,Fee make a good impression.The fourth year was really nervous,what if his parents wouldnt like her?!That would be terrible."Yes i am Feenella",she smiled and shook the woman's hand,"its a pleasure to meet you Mrs.Doyle."Awww,Hugo had been talking about her?How cute was that?"I hope he only told you good things about me",Fee chuckled a little.The woman seemed to be really friendly,what a relief.But they hadnt left yet and with her luck something bad would happen before they got on the train.Oh pleaaase.

Shaking the mans hand too the Slytherin smiled.What nice parents her boyfriend had.They seemed to be sooo sweet."Oh its nice to finally meet you too, Mr.Doyle",the girl smiled and nodded,"oh err.. i mean Peter."That would take some time for her to call them by their first name.After all she didnt know them for real.

Fee had to laugh a little when she saw how he seemed to be totally annoyed by his parents.He would surely ramble about that later.But in fact his parents were totally sweet and all nice.Oh.Her summer.Well..."Its been good",she nodded,"i met a lot new people who are pretty cool.Pitty we havent seen eachother often though.What about yours?"Better not mention her total overreaction from earlier.That was soo embarrassing and the blonde still felt bad about it.

After getting the chick's number out there,Paul went to search for his sister.Where had she gone? Seriously,he loved her to bits but sometimes it could be so stressfull with her.Walking around he was about the get frustrated as he finally found her.With a boy.Of course with a boy.Why did she have so many guy friends?That wasnt normal.But waiit.Why was she introducing herself to that dude's parents?Could that be Hugo?Well he kinda looked like that guy.Okay..well."Hey there",Paul approached waving,"i am Fee's brother."

The girl seemed kind of nervous around them. How adorable was that? And so polite! "Don't worry, dear. He told good things about you and I'm sure I will hear more," she nodded and smiled at the girl.

Peter smiled. "So, Feenella, looking forward to the year at Hogwarts?" he asked, forcing himself not to say Pigwarts or Hogpimples as he had mistaken the name for soo many times already. But that was years ago, with Lily and Elijah. Now he even knew about the portraits that.... Talked. Nothing was strange to him anymore.

"Mine?" Hugo quietly asked. "Well..." he started and looked back at his parents. "It's been kind of boring..." he said and looked in his girlfriend's eyes. "And I've missed you..." he said and blushed. He was happy to be going to Hogwarts again, surrounded by his friends and his girlfriend.

Hugo nervously looked up at the guy approaching. He looked kind of annoyed. Was that her brother? Something told him he didn't like Hugo. "I'm Hugo," he nervously said. "Fee's friend- boyfriend." His cheeks were turning red again. What if this guy didn't like him? "I-it's nice to meet you," he said and offered him a trembling hand to shake.

"Thanks," Adam said with a little chuckle. He had to admit that he was feeling better now that he was talking to someone who knew what was going on. Adam was sure he could figure it out himself, but it's always nice when you have someone that can kind of act as a guide, or at least point you in the right direction. "I think I'll like Hogwarts," Adam said with a little nod. "Everyone I've met so far seems nice enough." Although Adam was sure there were probably some people going to Hogwarts that were not so nice...hopefully he spotted those people quickly and was able to stay away from them.

"I'm from the states. My parents and I move around a lot, so I went to a bunch of different wizarding academies there." So far Adam hadn't met anyone from the states...just a lot of people that seemed pretty fascinated that he came from the states. "Are you from around here?" he asked.

Adam gave a little nod and a smile at Ellie. "Wow, the time can really fly on you, can't it? I still can't believe I'm a fifth year already." Seriously...where did the time go??

Fee just smiled at Hugo's mother.She seemed to be really nice.Maybe the blonde wouldnt kmake that of a bad first impression?"I am really happy to hear that",she said,"i have only good things to tell about him as well."Of course she had,after all Hugo was only the best boyfriend in the universe.Hehe.

Ohh his dad actually wanted to pick up a conversation with her?That was sooo nice.Really.Hugo's parents made her feel less nervous by the minute.This was going far better than she had expected."Oh yes i am really excited to go back",the Slytherin nodded,"its always nice to be back to Hogwarts.Its kinda like a second home."Only one year and kshe would have to take her OWLS.Ohhhhhhh glitter.

The fourth year chuckled a little at her boyfriend as he said his summer had been boring.Well she didnt make it exciting this time.Hehe.What a pitty.Just as she was about to comment that the butterflies in her stomach decided to go crazy.Here with his parents in hearing distance he told her hehad missed her.Oh my glitter."I've missed you too",the girl smiled and nodded,"gladly its only gonna be seven stairs in a few days."Why werent they in the same house?Fee had asked herself that question many times over and over again.But then again they could see eachother everyday with him being a Ravenclaw too,if school let them.

Paul stood there eyeing the guy that had just introcuded himself as Fee's boyfriend.Well he looked okay,not like those player types.Earning a glare from his sister he held out his hand for that guy to shake it.Hopfully he had a string handshake."I am Paul",he nodded,"her older brother."Hey captain obvious.At least he seemed to have manners."Its good to meet you too",Paul said,"Fee talks a lot about you."It wasnt like the 22 year old didnt like that guy,he seemed to be nice but when it came to his little girl he got kinda protective."Are you in her house?",he said nodding towards his sister.

"Nice to meet you as well, Amethyst. And Onyx." She inclined her head towards the gray tabby that was considering the bare spot on Arya's shoulder. "This is Perseus. One of my creatures." Her smile widened a bit at the girl's words. "I guess is is pretty cool."

Moving her trunk out of the way of a small family, she briefly glanced around for familiar faces before returning to Amethyst. "Do you need any help with your trunk?"

Kita looked around her, slightly confused. The place looked... familiar. Her eyes wandered over to a sign over the girl she had crashed into. Platform 9 3/4.

It was school time?!

Ahem! Back to the matter at hand.

Speaking of hand, a hand shot out in front of her. Kita's eyes travelled up the arm and towards the face that was attached to the arm. IT WAS THE GIRL! And she was being nice about her... Wait... What in the name of merlin had happened to her?! Was she okay? Nasty fall? SHE FELL?! o_O

"Er... i think so..." she said slowly, grabbing the girl's hand and pulling herself up, "Thanks!" She smiled at the girl before looking down at her luggage which was strewn everywhere. Great(!) Pfft! That can wait for now. She couldn't start picking up her things without introducing herself first. "Er, i'm Kita. Kita Lewis," she said, a smile still plastered across her face.

Amethyst smiled softly as she nodded to Perseus. "Hello, there!" House Perfect? She wanted to be one one day. Maybe she wouldn't ever get the chance. Even getting the letter from Hogwarts, itself, was a miracle.

She did the same, wondering if she would see one of the four people she knew. When she didn't, she looked to Onyx, who looked tired, and slowly drifting asleep on her shoulder. She looked back to Arya,repeating the question in her head. "Actually, yes, I do.." She was clueless. Where would she even put her trunk. Or better yet, Onyx. She disliked the thought of having to part with her feathery friend, but those would be the rules, if such a rule were to exist.

Making her way towards the front of the train, Gwen tried to direct her trolley straight forward. Hopefuly I won’t run over someone, she thought, paying attention to possible obstacles.

‘We’ll miss you, Gwen’, her father smirked. But the girl knew it wasn’t going to be one of those sappy ‘I love you moments’… nope… He is probably about to say some joke that will make me laugh until I finally get back to Hogwarts… Her mother however, smiled at her, but couldn’t say a thing. She bit her lips and hugged Gwen, not willing to finally go back home. Then, the girl took the cat in her arms, hoping she wouldn’t loose it… AGAIN! And yeah, she was ready to leave…

‘All right… take care’ , her mother finally said, more like she would whisper.
‘Have fun’, her dad winked.
‘Study hard…’, she raised her voice a little
‘Have fun’, Gwen’s dad said again smirking.
‘Make friends… ‘, her mother said, and Gwendolyn tried not to roll her eyes. I’m not sociable, she wanted to reply, but didn’t. I won’t ruin a nice family moment…
‘Um… do your best in classes….and…’, mum went on talking.
‘Have fun…’, the girl’s father only moved his lips, so that mum would’t get upset about his only concern for his daughter.
‘… have fun too’, Gwen’s mother finally said.

Her eyes turned to Persues when he was greeted, but returned to the girl. She'd let him crawl up on her shoulders after she'd gotten the other girl's trunk into the luggage compartment.

"We could haul your trunk into the luggage compartment," She flicked her wrist, giving her wand a little twirl when it slid neatly into her hand. "Or I can levitate it there for you." Arya preferred the later, but if she wanted to do it muggle style the prefect was fine with that as well.
