Selina looked curiously at Violet and tilted her head a little to the left, "Are you on Pixie Sticks or something? Because you have a lot of energy right now..." Maybe the thought of Chris that had her going and bouncing off the walls. However, Selina had known Violet for three years now, she highly doubted that the energy came from her boyfriend. The girl was just naturally energetic.

Her heart stopped. Her boggart? How did Kurumi see her boggart? Had she really been so careless in the classroom as to show other people what she was witnessing? This was the last thing she wanted to talk about. Danielle was a sensitive subject for Selina if you could even call her a subject. Mostly because Selina did not EVER talk about her sister. No one outside of her family knew about Danny and her family was smart enough to never talk about her. It was like the big Skylar secret, that there were in fact two Skylar sisters except one of them was six feet under ground.

Now that Kurumi had brought it up Selina was frozen in her place. Did she still have a pulse? She doubted it and maybe the fact that she was paper white now gave off that something was wrong. What would she tell Kurumi? That she killed her sister? That was impossible- she wouldn't understand. Selina didn't understand sometimes.

"... um, w-what do you mean? M-my boggart?"

"Thank you, I appreciate that," Adam said with a smile. It was always nice to meet new people that were friendly. Adam paused for a moment when Ellie asked him who he knew already. Of course he wanted to say Louisa, but if this was the Ellie that was dating Dallin than that might just be awkward...but at the same time Louisa was his good friend and he surely didn't want people to think that he was ashamed of that. "I met another girl named Ellie Stone, Amy Samson, Louisa Carter, and a boy named Paulie." Maybe if he just added it into a bunch Ellie wouldn't notice all that much...after all it could lead to an awkward conversation.

And then she mentioned Dallin...this was definitely that Ellie. Adam gave the girl a little smile. "I've traveled all over the place, but I did live in Florida for a while...Miami specifically."

Violet laughed lightly as if she had no idea what she was talking about. "I don't know what you mean Sely, it's just the same old Violet...In COMPLETELY ADORABLE NEW BOOTS! CHECK THEM OUT!" She squealed and then placed her hand on her left hip and extended one of her legs, pointing her foot, then with her other hand pointed downward at it.

Selina put her head in her hands, "Oi vey."

She plastered a smile on her face for her best friend, "ANYWAY! Did you hear that Desoteaux retired? Yeah and so did Professor Bishop." Maybe dropping this bomb on an excited Violet was not so smart, but she could keep it to herself anymore.

Home was certainly a bird's nest sort of speak but it was home and Gideon wouldn't change a thing about it, unless it was during one of the times Kacie was being a pain of a kid sister. "No...not really. They are all pretty cool," he answered truthfully, the all including muggle creatures as well. His favorite place growing up had been the zoo his family would take him to that had everything from monkeys to dragons within its walls.

"What about you?" Gideon asked wanting it to be fair that he learn about her and not all vice versa. "Do you have a favorite beast, magical or otherwise?" he questioned smiling at the slight flush to her cheeks.

Violet giggled at Selina's reaction now surprised at all and then said,"Oh Sely you make me lau-" Then she heard Selina say that Professor Descoteaux had retired and she gasped and shouted at the top of her lungs,"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!" Then she went on one of her rambles,"WhatdoyoumeanthatProfessorDescoteauxretired? WhywouldheretirefromCharmshewasthebestProfessoreverhowcouldhedothis? DoyouknowwhyheretiredWhosegoingtoteachCharmsnow? Aretheyevengoingtobeanygood? NotpossiblenoonecouldtopProfessorDescoteuax'steach ingmethodsandyouknowthathe'soneoftheBESTProfessors outthere,whoamIkiddingheISoneoftheBESTProfessorsou tthere..." She frowned and pouted before saying,"I can't believe this..."

Selina coughed and scratched the back of her head awkwardly as Violet started to go off on her rant. It seemed that everyone on the platform at that moment decided that they were going to watch the pair. Suddenly Selina felt very exposed with her panic stricken best friend. "Violet?" She said smiling at all of the onlookers, "Violet?" They were all STILL looking, "VIOLET?" She yelled smiling at everyone broadly.

Turning to Violet quickly she dropped her grin and said, "You're attracting a crowd," without missing a beat she turned back to the crowd and shot them all a large grin.

As Violet had been going on her rant she was pacing back and forth repeatedly. She then had heard Selina trying to cut her off every now and then as she was venting, but Violet wanted to get what she wanted out whether she liked it or not. Then Violet looked at Selina and then when she had told her that she was attracting a crowd she then frowned at Selina,"But Sely, this really is the WORST thing to EVER happen just like...Like..." She gasped,"LIKE THE TIME YOU TOLD SIMON THAT YOU LIKED HIM AND HE TOTALLY REJECTED YOU!"

"VIOLET!" Selina yelled with her face bright red. She could not believe that the petite blonde had just yelled that out for the whole world to hear. In a tither she grabbed her friend's forearm and pulled her away from the crowd that had formed.

Once they were out of ear shot she said, "Violet THAT was private. And he didn't reject me because I wasn't asking for a relationship. I'm a few years younger than him. I mean, wait I'm not talking about this right now!"

She crossed her hands over her chest and turned away slightly, "I can't believe you just yelled that out. That was super private and humiliating."

Violet then had covered her mouth after she had realized what she had said. She mouthed the words to the crowd as Selina was dragging her away,'Sorry! But it's true!' Then Violet placed her hands over her heart when they were out of sight and then said,"I know Sely, and I am so sorry...But it was just sort of the only thing I could think of...And it sort of just came out own its own..." Then she heard Selina talking about their age difference and gasped a little saying,"Wait a minute...You've still got feelings for him don't you?! Don't you?!"

Selina cast her eyes down as Violet started to rant to her about how sorry she was for divulging something deeply personal of her best friend. Of course that was until Violet started to berate Selina about whether or not she still liked Simon. Again with the personal questions. Why did they need to talk about his now... on the platform... with a crowd of people who were wandering about?

Awkwardly Selina twirled a piece of red hair, "Violet can we not talk about this right now?" Besides Violet already knew the answer to her question.

Violet clasped her hands together and then tilted her head saying,"Awwww! Sely! You are too adorable when you try to cover things up!" Then she gave her best friend a hug and said,"Don't worry...I won't say anything...Or at least...I'll really try my best not to...Promise!"
Then Violet began singing softly,"Sely's still got a crush..Even though she got crushed..But that didn't change her feelings at all...La la la la lalalala..." She then grew silent before adding in one more,"...La..." Violet giggled.

Selina wished she could just disapparate at any moment because right now it would have come so in handy. It was amazing to her that Violet could just turn anything mildly humiliating into a something COMPLETELY humiliating. She was getting to the point where she wanted to crawl in a hole and just hide away forever. This was getting awful fast.

"OKAY! Let's not talk about this right now. Oh look, I love your boots Violet. Are they new?"

Violet could see that Selina's face that it was beginning to not be funny anymore. She then toned it down and then nodded her head when Selina said not to talk about it anymore. Violet replied said,"Okay Sely...And yes they are...I told you that few minutes ago...Don't you remember?"

Selina grit her teeth a little and replied trying to fake the biggest smile that she could, "No I don't remember." She was a little preoccupied a few minutes ago trying to keep Violet calm from her melt down and then there was the issue of her blabbing about Simon. Besides she was so over him... yep.

Then she shook off whatever had just occurred, "Anyway... you ready for the school year to begin?"

Violet raised an eyebrow at the very unusual smile Selina had given her. Then brushed aside some of her hair and then said,"Well, yes they are knew Selly.." She smiled lightly. Then Violet nodded eagerly and then said,"Yes I am...Although it may take me a while to get used to having a new Charms Professor...Do you know why he and Professor Bishop retired?"

Selina shook her head no. In all honesty she had no idea why Bishop had retired, she wished that her old Divination Professor would have at least informed her that she was retiring. The two had both shared a very unique experience the previous year and she hoped that they could have helped Selina work out her visions. Now they she could see them at will she wanted to try to figure out how to control what she wanted to see.

Shaking her head free of the thought Selina replied, "I have no idea. Although it is peculiar. I mean, the two of them. Maybe all the rumors were true?"

Violet put her fingers under her chin for a moment. Then she nodded her head in agreement saying,"Maybe you're right Sely!" She then swooned a little,"Oh how romantic...Escaping to be together...It's too wonderful...They would make such a cute couple if they were together.."

"Right," Selina drew out. Leave it to Violet to find two Professors running away together to be a cause for swooning. Wait, did she actually just swoon or did she imagine that? For some reason the whole image of Violet swooning made Selina uncomfortable.

"So... now that Chris is living me... will you two be... you know... together at my house next summer?"

Violet was drawn out of her swooning when she heard Selina mention Chris. She then twirled a strand of her hand a little bit before letting it go. Then Violet said,"Well..First off, I'll only be there when you invite me of course...That is just completely rude showing up to someone's house unnanounced..." Violet then asked,"How does it feel having two other siblings? I mean it must be such a change since you've been an only child since you were born.."

Selina rolled her eyes at the hair twirling Veela, "Yeah okay, like you'll wait to clear it with me to go and visit your boyfriend. I'll believe that when I see it."

Then it happened. The bomb dropped. What was with people on the platform somehow bringing up Danny, even if they were doing so inadvertently. It was causing her a lot of stress and not the kind that she was capable of dealing with. Her heart was leaping out of her chest and she was sure her face was white. "It's defiantly different living with two other kids around my age. But I like James and all so it hasn't been so bad." That did not come out awful. As long as she avoided the sibling thing she would not have to lie... because she was a ruddy liar.

Kita smiled at Daphne, trying her hardest not to squeal. Was she a fellow chocoholic? WAS THIS A TIME TO REJOICE AND DANCE MERRILY?!

Ahem!

And she just said that chocolate is a cure for everything! "Wise words, Daphne, wise words," she said, trying to look at serious as possible. Maybe THAT should be her motto...

New?! "The French school?" she asked, "Merlin! How come you left?" Beauxbatons... what did it even STAND for? But then again, what did Hogwarts stand for? ... Something for someone to figure out. Her luggage? Kita looked down at the fallen trunk and Alaska, her owl, who was currently glaring at her. Boy, was she in trouble with her pet! "Yes, you're right," she said, bending down to steady her trunk onto her trolley.

"Er, are you looking forward to Hogwarts? This being your first year there and all," she said, making sure the cage of her owl was firmly shut.

Kurumi studied Selina, knowing very well that pushing the issue and telling her friend that she really didn't and SHOULDN'T try to play innocent when it came to this.

Kurumi wasn't hurt that Selina had kept this from her - Kurumi still harbored some secrets herself - but what hurt her was Selina trying to hide it when the forth year had already made it known that she had seen it.

"I saw you right as I was finishing and leaving the room," she said softly. "I-I thought that I should stay and make sure you were alright but...it seemed more like something you needed to handle on your own." Kurumi paused for a moment and looked down at the ground. "I am not going to force the issue, but...you have always listened to me when I was having all sorts of internal conflict. It is about time that I returned the favor."
Kurumi had to resist the urge to erupt into a maniac of giggles at the mention of magical creatures. Did she have a favorite? Clearly Gideon had no clue just how difficult the question he had just posed was.

"I am not sure I can just pick one," she said as she clapped her hands together and held them against her lips. "I find each and every creature unique and fascinating." Her eyes were ablaze now with excitement. "I adore dragons - any breed of them really - but I think my personal favorite would probably be the Antipodean Opaleye." She really needed to get to Australia or New Zealand to see them in their natural habitat. "But, I also like griffins and phoenixes." Did he want her to go on? Hopefully he didn't mind her rambling, because she was going to keep going anyway. "I also like harbor seals and dolphins. I used to spend hours watching them swim when I would visit the zoo back home. I used to think I could talk with dolphins. At least, I would imitate the noises they made and they would respond." She paused for a moment. "Hummingbirds as well. It just amazes me at how something so small could be so fast. They are the only birds that are capable of flying backwards as well."

[COLOR="rgb(0, 191, 255)"]"Yeah go right ahead. Faina smiled at the girl and introduced herself "Faina Raine Malfoy, Slytherin, first year. And you?" Hmm she was going to have to introduce herself like that now, she kind of liked the ring to it.[/COLOR]


"Hmmm... I think I will be fine, my family has been drilling me with facts about Hogwarts all summer long!" Faina laughed, her grandfather was totally freaking out about her all summer.

She slide open the door eager to get a compartment with friends she could have made at Hogwarts. She saw two girls in there and decided to be with them.
"Oh! Would you mind if I join you here?" she asked looking a little embarassed to interrupt the deep conversation the two seem to have.
