Oh Geez! This is going to be difficult! Sage thought to herself. She was good at remembering names but really two violets!
"Of course!!" Sage said a bit to loudly. She looked around at the few students who had stoped to stare before lowering her voice just a tad,"It's only the best sport in the world! I want to be a beater! My older brother was on the team when he went to Hogwarts, he said it was the best!"
Sage would talk about quidditch all day, but she didn't want to come off to obsessed! She had lots of posters on her walls of all the teams, since she didnt support just one!
"I guess I'll go next!" Sage said stepping up to plate,"Uhh, I'm half and half. My mum is a pureblood but my dad was muggleborn, but they both went to Hogwarts. I got an older brother, younger sister, and a younger brohter!"
Sage wasn't shy of her home life, there was nothing to be ashamed of. Sure they had some bumps in the road, some small and some big, but didn't all families?

"Um, hello, uh, Sage, my name's Violet. Violet P. Blackthorne."
Oh, no, Violet could see now how it would be all year--Violet A. and Violet P., or something like that. She had never been anywhere where there had been another Violet and wasn't sure she was going to like being one of a pair. She hoped at least they wouldn't wind up in the same House.
All the many voices talking at once was making her head buzz. She had spent most of her life mostly alone, in a house with her governess and a cook and a house-elf, and sometimes a member of her mother's family would breeze in and out. Then there were those awkward, formal "play-visits" to a few of the pure-blood families her mother's family approved of, where she and some other children who didn't want to be around her would be made to play together.
Now all the jostling and shouting and many people talking at once was slightly unnerving, but at the same time exhilirating. Maybe now she would have real friends at last!

She had an awesome bunch of friends , that's for sure. However, maybe their friendship would never likely end in that place. Not a minute too soon did she saw her watch. Looking at the time, she was very much aware that the train would be living to Hogwarts any time now.
"Uh.. guys, can you hear the train honking now ? I really.. uhm, should have to go. I forgot to buy Jordin's favorite snack so I need to run now !!" she said rather quickly. Her owl looked at her with bemused disappointment.
Oh well, she really did forgot, she was supposed to buy it when she arrived at the platform but sadly.. got stuck with her new friends..
It's worth it , still .. She immediately said her goodbyes and proceeded , dragging her rather light trunk ..

Reason: OOC not needed. Use VMs or PMs
"Josephine!" Rosalind cried out to her as soon as she saw her and waved frantically. She was relieved to see other people that she knew. However, she did not know the person she was talking to. "How are you? And who is this?" she asked, smiling at the other person.
Josephine looked at her friend happily "Rosalind! This is Maxwell, a Gryffindor like me and y brother, over here are Dani, my childhood friend, and Chris, they are Ravenclaws like you and Fiona!" she smiled.

Josephine blushed even more and ignored Danielle's laugh "Okay! And Thank you" she heard the train coming and grabbed her brother's arm "Joseph! It's here! Let's go!" she smiled

"Fiona! This are Maxwell, my twin Brother, Joseph, Danielle (but I call her Dani) and Chris" she smiled at her friend.

Reason: all those OOC notes aren't necessary. use them sparingly. VM instead or put it in your post title
I just passed through a wall! That's so cool! I thought when I didn't crash on the wall after all. Instead I saw the train in front of me and a big crowd of students boarding it. The front looked full so I decided to head to the back. Well that's what you get for being late again I thought. I was probably going to find the worse place to sit at again... I waited patiently for my turn to board the train, hoping it didn't leave by the time I got to board. I think I worry too much...

SPOILER!!: AURORA! The train's here!

'See, that hem could fray but you could always charm it...'" Aurora put on her best upper class posh lady voice to imitate her mother. "Though they can be useful, I sometimes wear muggle clothes to go through the woods at the back of the manor, and to get down to the beach to go surfing." She shrugged.
"Yeah, I don't see why we have to do these lessons anyway. I get enough dance tuition back home. I bet they don't even hire a proper teacher, and what can any of the current professors teach me that a dance tutor can't?" Aurora said, pulling a spoilt-brat-who-doesn't-want-to-do-something face. "Yeah, Jonathan. I think he travels a lot. He's starting at Hogwarts this year, he'll be in third." Aurora said, pulling her jelly babies from her pocket and offering one to Mordred. "He's Aaron Anderson's cousin apparently, but he seems... crazy. I was talking to him for about a minute before he started going on about robot penguins..." she said.
"Yeah, I guess. Maybe we should take it to the new DADA professor, see if they're up to scratch." she suggested. "Or, of course, if we find a worthy victim..." she added quietly, smirking a little.
Aurora suddenly sat up straight, staring straight at Mordred; a thought had just come to her. "What if it's Lola Jones..? We're DOOMED!" Not that Lola wasn't good at Quidditch, she was just too insane to make important decisions, like picking the people for the team... "Of course we'll win. We may not be as good as last year but we're still better than everyone else." she said confidently, picking her coat from the top of her trolley and putting it on, revealing her eagle owl who began to hoot quietly. "Oh shut up Sage, I'm cold." she directed at the owl, then turned to Mordred, "Is it cold here?" She buttoned up her coat.
"Or we could cover them in glitter, I have a spell for that. I'll show you later." she said. "I know, they're tiny. They could use something to help them grow a little." she winked and jumped down from her trunk again, unlocking it and searching for a moment. "And this year I brought... this." she produced a tiny wooden box and showed it to him. "Powdered blue-moonstone, managed to get hold of some in Cologne over the summer." she said, grinning wickedly.
Mordred nodded in agreement. “My father and I knew that going to France two years ago was a bad idea. Mum can’t control herself from buying loads of muggle clothes.” He shook his head in disbelief. “For her, the place was like a huge Twilfit store.” He added. “Ever since then we had to wear muggle clothes every single day.” He said, but he was sure enough it was a good idea.
“I have this feeling that the school will not just teach us the usual dances this term.” Mordred said thoughtfully as he remembered Morgan’s friend dancing ‘round on muggle streets, wearing wide legged pants and over-sized shirts. “I mean, it isn’t impossible that they teach us muggle dancing.” He said as he wrinkled his nose. “I don’t know what they call that dance, but it requires you to do big steps, jumping, spinning on your head, flailing your arms…” he said as he trailed off. “Looks exhausting, if you ask me.” He added.
Mordred took a piece of the candy Aurora was offering and continued to listen about Jonathan. “So,,,he grew up in the muggle world?” he asked. The mention of ‘robots’ was a give-away. Although little by little he was becoming more and more interested with the muggle children’s customs and toys. “I bet he’s good in Quidditch.” He said as he took another candy. “Usually it runs in the family.” He added. “Mum’s asking me to join this year, but I told her that I’m more of the spectator than the player.” Sure, he and his father like to see Quidditch players beat each other while riding their brooms.
“Lola Jones, yes. Well, you’re right – she is a good player. I’m sure she’ll be able to lead the team just like Aaron.” He said in a reassuring tone. He doesn’t know Lola personally, but he thinks that she is the most experienced from the group. *shrugs*
Mordred chuckled at Sage as it gave a soft hoot. He misses Xchylar terribly, and hopefully he’d get better soon. “Yes, it is getting a little bit cold.” he said as a soft gust of wind swept across the platform. He picked up his gray peacoat and wore it. “You still cold?” he asked as he offered her his Slytherin cloak.
Mordred looked from her wicked grin to the small wooden box she was holding. He took it from her hand and examined it. “You really are up to something this term.” he tilted his head and grinned. “Promise me you’ll let me know when you are to brew something magical….or dreadful.” he said as he grabbed Aurora’s hand and placed the box on her palm.
Another gust of wind tousled his hair and turned to see that the Hogwarts Express train has arrived. “It’s here.” he said as he jumped off his trolley and clumsily fixed his hair with his hands. He then looked at Aurora’s trolley which, in his opinion weighed more than his just by looking at the size of her trunks. “You want to swap trolleys? Mine’s lighter.” he shrugged.

Josephine looked at her friend happily "Rosalind! This is Maxwell, a Gryffindor like me and y brother, over here are Dani, my childhood friend, and Chris, they are Ravenclaws like you and Fiona!" she smiled.
Josephine blushed even more and ignored Danielle's laugh "Okay! And Thank you" she heard the train coming and grabbed her brother's arm "Joseph! It's here! Let's go!" she smiled
"Fiona! This are Maxwell, my twin Brother, Joseph, Danielle (but I call her Dani) and Chris" she smiled at her friend.
Maxwell politely said hello to everyone. "I'll see You on the train! We're still sharing a car right? Do You wanna meet in the front or back of the train?" Maxwell was smiling from ear-to-ear this was slowly becoming the best, most exciting day of his life.
Ronnie walked up to the platform, her family behind her. Her grandfather and grandmother, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger even came! She was ready. Ready for her second year. Her first one had been very exciting with many fun adventures! She held her sister's hand and her grandfather's hand and dashed to wait for the train. "Ooo, I can't wait to get back to Hogwarts!" she said. She could smell the food from the feast already!
"You're going to love Hogwarts!" she said to Plumeria. "It's wicked!" she said still holding on to her hand, a little too tightly. She was acting a little child-ish....but she still was sort of a child, right? "Grandpa Ron, remember the story you told us about when you crashed into the barrier?" she asked. "That was in your second year, right?" she asked looking up at him. He nodded, smiling. "I love that story." she said.
Plumeria couldnt wait to board the hogwarts express. And now she was so close to doing so. She noticed that her sister Ronnie was holding her hand a little tight - but she didn't care, and gripped it with the same amount of strength. Her grandfather was telling them about the time that he and her Great-Uncle Harry crashed their trolleys into the barrier to get to platform 9 and 3/4, and had all of the muggles staring at them. Plumeria laughed so hard when he'd finished.
Finally, they all proceeded in crossing the barrier into the magical platform. Plumeria and Ronnie waved goodbye to they're siblings and relatives before getting onto the hogwarts express. She couldn't begin to describe how nervous, but extremely excited she was.
"You need to loosen up Oh great and mighty Caelius! And you should come and join my friends! We are sitting near the back." Faina giggled, he was so formal it was almost... attractive. No, she couldn't be thinking those things. She was too young, right?
"Perhaps I'll do just that then," Cael said with a wink, leaving her to wonder whether he meant it in reference to loosening up or joining them later, before turning on his heel and striding toward the train entrance.
"Fiona! This are Maxwell, my twin Brother, Joseph, Danielle (but I call her Dani) and Chris" she smiled at her friend.
"Nice to meet you all!" Fiona said. "Well, we should get on the train, don't you think? We need to find an empty compartment." Fiona could not wait to get on the train and get going!
Well, at least Pixxi and her brothers would make it to Hogwarts, even if the train would leave in a couple of minutes. Still sitting on the trunk her father Karl pushed while clutching the traveling cage with her kitten Bells, she looked at the train that would take her to her first year at Hogwarts. Felix, one of her elder brothers was no where to be seen. Percy on the other hand was loading the suitcase into the train with help from their little sister Kayla. Pixxi and Karl hurried over to him, and she jumped off the trunk and took the traveling cage with Bells onboard. Percy told her that he had found a compartment just to the left where she could sit, which struck her as odd since Percy rarely wanted anything to do with Pixxi. It was probably because this was her first time at the train. Maybe he remember what it felt like himself, and wanted to all brotherly towards her.
After she had found the compartment and put Bells inside it, she hurriedly helped her father Karl to carry the trunk inside. She jumped as she heard the familiar sound coming from the train. The sound that told them that the train would leave. Still standing in the compartment, she gave her father a long hug and felt tears pressing on. She stroked her hair, told her to stay out of trouble and be careful. "I will. And... Tell James and mum that I'm gonna miss them." James was her oldest brother who had already graduated Hogwarts two years ago. He was her favorite brother, and even though he had tried as hard as he could to get the day off from work, she still got disappointed when he announced that he couldn't wave goodbye to them on the Platform.
Percy and Kayla had appeared in the compartment, and Karl turned around to hug Percy goodbye while Kayla hugged Pixxi's waist so hard she almost lost her breath. "Ow! Kayla... Can't... Breathe..." Kayla loosened the grip a bit, but told Pixxi that she would miss her more then she would miss her. It had always been Kayla and Pixxi. They were the best of friends and shared secrets no one in the family knew about. Pixxi felt the tears fill up her eyes again, and would probably had started to cry if it hadn't been for Felix who suddenly appeared and took Kayla from Pixxi and hugged her tightly. They heard another loud 'chooo' from the train as it started to move slowly. Kayla let go of Felix, and Karl gave him a quick hug before turning towards them all. He told them to behave and take care of each other and stay out of trouble. The stern look on her father's face was more then enough to stay out of trouble for. Kayla took her father's hand and waved goodbye to them all, looking at Pixxi last with tears silently streaming down her pale face. They ran towards the door and jumped off on the platform, grinning widely towards them while waving. Pixxi, Felix and Percy waved their goodbyes through the window while the train started to move faster and faster.
Felix told Percy and Pixxi that he would go and find his friends, and that he would just leave his suitcase and the owl cage in the compartment. Percy mumbled something about that being a good idea and they both looked at Pixxi and asked if she would be ok. "Oh... Well, I might bump into someone I met in Diagon Alley, so yeah. Yeah, I'll be fine." She was horrified, but didn't want her brothers to notice. Both of them smiled and left the compartment and Pixxi all alone. "At least I hope I bump into one of the girls." She mumbled to herself, thinking of the three girls she met at Madam Malkin's a couple of days ago.
