Natasha looked around. She must be very early as there were not many other students here yet. She figured more would come soon - or was there more than one way to get to Hogwarts? She had no idea. She casually walked along the platform, just looking around - she was too nervous to just stand in one place. Her cat and owl were on top of her other belongings on the trolley, and napping. They did not seem to care that they had just walked through a wall. Checking the time, Natasha realised she still had a fair wait ahead of her. Perhaps she would find a place to sit, and take a look at her school books. |

He did what now? James blinked at the girl. "I...um...no I didn't." Hmmm...that explained a good deal but not everything. So his dad was like...famous. How could he use this to his advantage? "How do you know all this?" If his dad was that involved in things some of it had to be confidential and stuff right? |
Quote:
She just blinked back at him, in pure amazement. The poor kid! Merlin if others found out they might just react the same way she had! "My father is an obliviator and remembers him from when he first joined the ministry, he's mentioned him a few times, especially when my brother Eric said he wanted to become an auror." |
Text Cut: ^_^ You know, she couldn't help but smile when he started to apologize, AGAIN. But she also bit her lip, which was something...ACTUALLY, it was probably the first time she's ever done so. "You know, my mum thought I'd pushed you...," she said, shaking her head. Lottie knew better, of course, she knew that that wasn't what happened, still...she had caused it, somehow, "Did I do something wrong?" Her mind had failed to understand the last bit of their meeting. Apology accepted. Did he need a confirmation? "Don't worry about it, Garrick. Apology accepted." Cue sweet smile. Wait, he wasn't going to take them? Why was he stopping? Her smile grew bigger when he smiled, and even more so when she was apparently getting the first gift of the term. "That's actually very nice of you, thanks." Her answer was followed by a kiss to Garrick's red cheek. "I used two marbles back at home...," she continued, as she placed the items back in her bag. Sorry again, Mags, you'll be let out when we're sure Felix isn't close by. His hand was still in place, though, and...well, who cared? She took his hand, but more as a way of accepting the butterbeer sort-of-thing than anything else, really. |

"An obliviator? That's cool. That's like having a super power. I'll erase your memory!!!" He said jumping up into a super hero pose. He laughed and sat back down on his trunk with a grin. "Okay...so enough of my dad...tell me stuff about the school I should know." |
Quote:
"Mhmm!" Giggling at James jumping up and striking a pose she totally hadn't expected him to do that! Well this was so much better than what she thought he was when she'd first met him! "Hmmm, well there's house elves that work in the kitchens preparing all our food. A forest full of scary creatures and a big lake that has merpeople in it." |
Text Cut: GUUUUURL BLINK. Garrick tilted his head to the side ever so slightly and watched her with a grin in place. "I would have pushed you back." Fact. He had no qualms about pushing people who deserved it. And had she pushed him, well she would have deserved being pushed back. NODS. "Did you do something wrong? Are you kidding. I... I was quite rude. I made you uncomfortable, did I not? Like... invaded personal space? Crossed a boundary?" She HAD told him he was too close. It had embarrassed him SO badly and he was ashamed of having made her uncomfortable. Nod. And her confirmation, which was apparently needed, brought an even more relaxed Garrick to the surface. His smile was lopsided and genuine and all that jazz. He gave a slight shrug at her thanking him. It was no big deal, really. "You seemed to enjoy it a lot. If you run out of marbles let me know. I will have my brother owl me some." They could share. He did NOT mind sharing with Lottie. Which was odd... since he HATED sharing with most anyone else. AND WHOA. WHOOOOOOOA. Garrick swallowed audibly and his already reddened cheeks turned an even more impressive shade of crimson when she planted the little kiss. He felt suddenly very bashful. Dropping his gaze he chuckled slightly and without really another thought of it he squeezed her hand gently. And he didn't let it go as he looked back up at her. "Lotus, I will buy you a butterbeer whenever you want." WHAT DID THAT MEAN EVEN? Why was he having little heart jumpy things? And was his palm sweating? He cared not. He simply held her hand tighter and SMILED. Really big goofy smiles for Lotus Wisteria. |
Text Cut: IDK. XD Thank you for that comment, Garrick. Lottie was currently laughing at the suggestion that he could possibly get away with it. "From the ground?" And she laughed softly again, before adding an extra something, "I don't really think I could push you hard enough for you to fall, actually." TRUE. Dustbin...well, Dustbin only needed a LITTLE push to fall off the boat, it's not like she used all her strength back then. And she was eleven at the time. "Yeah, but...," she got lost as he kept on talking and her eyes focused on his. Pretty. What had she intended on saying? "I mean, it was unexpected...," no, that was not what she wanted to say, exactly, because several things had been unexpected..., "...I don't think that's the word I'm looking for...," at least she was being completely honest with him, "...so I did nothing wrong?" She had a reason for asking that. Garrick smiling. That's what important, apparently. BEAM. "I did. And I'll definitely let you know, though, I reckon they'll last a bit," because once Ancient Runes started, then she was bound to focus on that, AND...she could probably make some as well. Oh. "You have a brother?" It was strange, wasn't it? Like, she wasn't supposed to like holding someone's hand, yes? She just found herself liking it. Garrick's, of course. Which was where the strangeness came from. Why one person in particular, right? Weird. Then she smiled again, "You already said that, Garrick." Was he feeling alright? Also, there was a very important FACT she forgot to mention, "My friends call me Lottie, actually, you can do so as well, if you want." She pointed out, casually shrugging. She still likes it that he calls her Lotus, though. |
Text Cut: THEYREHOLDINGHANDS Eyerolling. Lottie got it. Heh. "Pleeeease. I am muscular and stuff." Not REALLY. But he wasn't like... scrawny or anything. He may have even flexed his free arm a bit at her, with a cheeky sort of grin to boot. HEHEH. Of course he was only being silly for her benefit. "Well I think you are capable of it." She was kind of awesome... Unexpected? His head tilted ever so slightly again. Had it.. surprised her? He watched her closely and smiled some more. Shaking his head he floundered for words for a moment... "You did absolutely nothing wrong, Lotus." Nothing. She was awesome... hadn't he thought that in the last minute and a half or so? Nodding he chuckled. "Yep. He's older and decided he didn't want to... take over the family stuff," he said and cast a glance around before leaning in. "He's the black sheep type ya know?" Hence HIS being the one slated to do the family stuff. SIGHS. And helllloooo blushing again. He laughed heartily this time, though. "You make me lose my train of thought sometimes," he said honestly. ... "No. Lottie sounds too... normal. You're a flower. Special. I will call you Lotus if you don't mind." She was NOT a Lottie to him. |

James grinned as he got a giggle out of Zoe. One for him. House elves who make food...big forest to go explore in and a lake to go hang out with the fishy people. This place sounded AWESOME. "Mental note to go exploring then," he said with a smirk of his own toward her. |
Text Cut: IKNOW Hahahahaha! Of course! She shook her head in disbelief, and looked at her arm after he'd flexed his, "Well, yeah, compared to me." A lot of people were muscular compared to her. Though, Quidditch had toughened her up a bit, and not to mention all the tree climbing and walks/runs around the grounds. She eyed him once more, sort of taking him in. Yeah, she could do it. "It is all a matter of will, yes?" Okay, so, if she did absolutely nothing wrong (which made her feel relieved, by the way), then..., "I...I felt bad, though," why had she? She felt bad when he left, right? Besides being confused by the whole thing. "But everything's fine now," she added, with a smile. So they can stop talking about it. AN OLDER BROTHER? So, it was like having a Spike at home, or a Vickers. That was wicked! Even if she loves her little brother to pieces, she still wondered what it would be like to have an older brother. Not sister, brother. The leaning in? Yeah, that make her giggle. "I understand." Nod, nod. The only one that could be called a black sheep within her relatives would be...her aunt, possibly. OR HER! Since she was the one in Hufflepuff instead of Slytherin. What? Blink. "I do?" Well, that's rather odd, isn't it? "I assure you I don't intend to." Of course not, she liked having a talking and smiling Garrick. And if he lost his train of thought...then awkward Garrick happens. So it seems. Flower. Kaiden calls her that, you know? It's ridiculous. And funny. Makes it difficult to take him seriously, quite frankly. Her smile couldn't be wider, though, and she even had to look away, blushing a little herself. "I don't mind." |
Text Cut: *diesfromcuteoverlaod* Garrick laughed and shook his head. "It [i]is[i] a matter of will. Besides, you could just use your wand to knock me over and well, muscles don't matter then do they?" Seeee. She was capable. "You did?" This made Garrick's heart do weird jumpy things again. And like... what was that supposed to mean? "Well as long as everything's fine. You're fine. I'm okay... and we're okay?" That was rambling for you, Miss Lotus. They could work on not feeling bad together, yeah? Like she could meet Sophocles when they got on the train... he was a big old baby and he thought he might be keen on Lotus, too. Or he HOPED so anyway. He wasn't sure WHY she giggled, but he knew that he wanted to make her do so again. Because... well... he wasn't sure of that, either. But he liked it. His eyes twinkled as nodded her head. It was nice to have someone GET him like she seemed to. And she didn't ask unnecessary questions like people often did. She only asked JUST ENOUGH. And that was awesome. Nodding his head his smile went lopsided once more. "I am sure you don't. It just happens. And that's okay." He couldn't explain it, but she made all the weird stuff... alright. Giving her hand a slight squeeze he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Trying to get his train of thought back in order. Heh. Opening them once more he caught her averting her eyes and the blushing. He did as before and gave her a moment to compose herself. "Grand. I am glad I crashed into you, Lotus," he said as he rubbed his thumb across her knuckles quickly. Then he swung their hands a little bit and let the silence stretch... "Do you want to tell me a little bit about yourself?" he asked. If she didn't he wouldn't mind. He would be content learning as he went. |
Text Cut: Heh. Why, of course, she was right. She's always right. Most of the time. "But that wouldn't be fair...," and she wouldn't like to do so by cheating. It's not as rewarding. Not that she'd know, really. Looking back, she probably shouldn't have mentioned that, right? He'd been apologizing all along for being rude and leaving the way he did...and here she was telling him that she'd felt bad. Of course, she'd felt bad for him, but she probably shouldn't have brought that up. Maybe. It was too late now. "I did." And then she got lectured. And while it was no big deal, it seemed like it was back then. ALSO, Lotus Acacia Wisteria smiled at him and looked into his eyes. He could stop rambling now. "I'm fine, you're okay, we're okay." She repeated, nodding, completely taken by his eyes. It sounded nice, too. That's why she took his words. Well, sure, it was okay. And she didn't particularly mind pointing it out to him, either. Surely, the next time he manages to lose his train of thought, she'll point it out again. You know, it was probably rude to stare at one person for so long, but she couldn't help herself, her eyes were still on him even when he closed his. She looked away, eventually, it seemed like a private moment. AND THERE WENT HER HEART AGAIN. Hmmm? Her hand. His thumb, actually. Her mind, had momentarily frozen, but she was smiling. Odd combination, definitely. "So am I." BEAM. She's never been so glad of people bumping into her, not like she was right now. Do you reckon THAT's when they should've started when they were in Diagon? "I'm sure you can ask anything and I'll answer it...but...," she looked up, trying to think of something, he already knew her name and last name, "...let's see, my middle name is Acacia. That's a tree." Because she knew his middle name, so this information needed to be shared. "I'm a third year...," no House mentioned, "...but I'm turning fourteen in exactly one month from today." BEAM. She was excited about it. It meant presents, and she's left a list back home. "I have a pet pygmy puff that probably hates me right now for keeping her hidden...," it is necessary. Felix is trouble. "...I've been in the Forbidden Forest with my best friend, who is nowhere to be seen right now," best friend, yes Lex, "...and...I think we have a few hours before we reach Hogwarts if you have questions." She'd answer them. |

His chocolate brown eyes looked at the red train in front of him, already blowing smoke despite it not being time yet. And looking at the clock hanging on the wall he noted that he was pretty early. Good. The more time he had to take everything in again. You know, last year and all that. He looked around because he first wanted to see if he saw any of his friends. He did see students he had seen during classes but never talked to. Mweh, his friends were no where in sight. The slytherin puffed his cheeks and with puffed out cheeks he found a little girl. He had never seen her before plus she looked around the age of eleven or twelve... Mweh, why not say hi right? He turned his cart again and walked to where the girl was while using his left hand to turn his Prefect badge around so it said P instead of d. "Hey there" he smiled. "first time going to Hogwarts?" |
She gave no sign of excitement at all. If there was any, it was well shrouded. She stood silently at the platform, looking at the different students, waiting for her lazy sister to come soon. She had tactfully escaped the whole my-daugters-have-grown episode of her mother, bade good-bye to her dad and pushed her trolley away. She couldn't stand the sight of Zyanya and mom hugging each other and promising to write every other day. Honestly, it was only Hogwarts. She sighed. The platform was rapidly filling with students and her twin was nowhere to be seen. She tapped her trolley and looked around for a sign of her. |

She went near her twin and snatched the trolley from her. She couldn't bear the slowness of it. She pushed it faster, moving towards where her's was. "All crying done?" she asked, teasingly. |

She stopped when they reached her own trolley and handed it to her twin. Her twin was still distraught. "Oh come on! Enough with the emotion thingy" she said, shaking her head in disbelief. She couldn't imagine how people can be so.. pathetic? "I reckon you'll be in Hufflepuff" she said, thinking. Aunt Isobel had been a Huffie and she had always cried for every other thing. Over emotional, and she hated her. "Ofcourse, maybe you'll be a Ravenclaw like mum" she guessed. With her always following on mum's footsteps. |

She wondered how it would be like, Slytherin. Father had been a star student for the house. He had boasted of it many a times to Amara in their dungeons, while making potions. Amara was always around him while he was there, making potions. The subtle art fascinated her. The glimmering liquids and the different aromas. She wished to be in Slytherin, grow up to be a potion maker. Like father. |

It wasn't even new and exciting anymore y'know? EVEN IF he was definitely looking forward to seeing his mates, especially Theo. ESPECIALLY THEO because his summer had been severely lacking. It was hard to go from seeing someone every day when you woke up and before you went to sleep and in classes and on the pitch and EVERYWHERE to only getting to see them a couple of times. And there had been DEVELOPMENTS not all of them pleasant, but almost all of which the tall fourteen year old wanted very much to talk to his best friend about. The one that actually WAS his best friend and not the one that was FALSE. So. Anyways he was thinking about all these important things and casually looking around to see if anyone important jumped into his vision, but instead there was just some girl with a book right in his way and all. ... ..... ........ "Y'know, the trunks go on the train." Helpful, Odessa. |

She looked up with wide eyes at this new person... umm... what was she supposed to say to that? The truth was that she had forgotten to ask her dad to help, and she couldn't lift it by herself... and she wasn't sure if she was allowed to do magic here or if she had to wait until they were in the castle, but her brain wouldn't let her say that... come on, try and speak... he probably already thinks you're strange... "I... I know that..." she managed, picking nervously at the annoying loose thread in her sleeve. "I um... I can't lift it..." she admitted after a second. She should have asked her dad to put the featherweight charm on it or something. She could do all these charms - sort of - but she still didn't know if she was allowed yet... It was so much easier to be homeschooled. WHY DID THEY HAVE TO SEND HER AWAAAAAAY?! |
Quote:
West just casually sat down on the edge of her trunk, not bothering to ask, a friendly smile happened instead. "Fair enough." Also SIGH did there have to be a book in front of his face with the name 'Alice' on it? Really? Why, universe? Why? |
