SPOILER!!: Ethan, Bay

]Did he catch a look when he mentioned books? Ethan wasn't sure if he had imagined it or not, but he was fairly certain Minerva had picked up on the word or something.. but then the look was gone just as quickly. Maybe he was just imagining things. Shaking off the thought, he turned his attention back to Min and Bay, chuckling a bit as she mentioned talking to people.. a lot of people. Yeah, that was an understatement. "Back of the train is where it's at," he agreed with a grin. And wasn't it convenient that they were at the South End where it was prime location to get onto the back.

His eyes fell on Bay as she mentioned just where she lived. Oh. That seemed awfully unfortunate. He knew she mentioned not having parents, but he thought she had someone.. not living in an orphanage. He looked on a bit sadly, quickly changing his expression to a small smile, certain she didn't want to be pitied. "I bet that was quite a shock," he said, smiling bigger as she mentioned finding out a few days ago. Must have been just the day before he ran into her. No wonder she seemed so out of sorts.. well, besides the lack of guardianship thing.

She was extremely grateful for that. Her smile got even bigger when both of them asked her to hang out with them on the train ride.

Awesome.

Making more friends was always a good idea though she had met a fair amount of people already. First Zoe, and then Ethan, then there was that Lucas guy this morning at the concourse, and then Mo at the wall, and now Minnie. It was good to know that she had somewhere to go though.

Bay looked at Minnie then to see if she really meant what she said. Most people didn't want to know anything past how fast she could get out of their way. When it was obvious that the older girl was serious Bay took a deep breath. "I'm an orphan. I've lived at the Westbury Orphanage for Girls since I was two. I just found out like four days ago that I'm a witch."

Minerva saw Ethan's look linger, why was he looking at her. It's not like she made any weird faces when he said any certain words. Looking back at Bay, her eyes moved toward the tracks, yes that back of the train, it was settled. Now where was that train. "I would think the train would be coming at any moment or at least it should be." Turning her attention back to the others she smiled, "You'll like the train, there is a food trolley if you get hungry, or there is plenty of room to just move around if you get bored with us, oh and I hope you don't mind animals. Ethan has a cat that will be with us and I have a pygmy puff." Minerva's eyes searched the area, "There they are over their playing." pointing to the two oblivious to anything around them animals.

Listening to Bay she couldn't help but frown, so she really was alone, she couldn't say she was alone in that way, but she knew some of that alone. "I'm sorry you have had to be there." She hesitated and glanced at Ethan, she wasn't sure if she could help the girl or not by revealing some of her own life. Taking a bit of a deep breath she tried to give a small smile, "I'm not sure what an orphanage is like, but I do understand not having your parents. I lost both of mine and my little brother when I was twelve. I've been passed between family ever since." She didn't know if that would help Bay not feel so bad for being alone in that sense. Giving another small smile, "You know what the best part about Hogwarts is, well at least for me? It's like home..You are there more then not for the next seven years. So it becomes home, your friends become your family." Yes and she knew that was true, because if it wasn't for her friends she wouldn't have gotten through so much.

SPOILER!!: Ethan, Laura, and firstiee

Laura giggled she thought it would be fun to see a hyped up prefect on the train but she didn't want Ethan to get into trouble so she was going to keep an eye on him when they got on the train, just to make sure he didn't have any chocolate or anything to add to his sugar rush.

Laura looked at Minerva and smiled. "Thanks." Laura decided that she would go off and find some of her own friends. "I'm going to go for a small walk." Laura said hoping that Minerva wouldn't ask where she was going, she wanted to give Ethan and Minerva some time to themselves, she couldn't expect to hang out with Minerva all the time right, Minerva needed to have time with Ethan on her own and this would be a nice time for them to start, she would go find one of her school friends if she could.

"It's okay." Laura smiled as she brushed herself down, and checked to make sure there was no injuries. "nothing to appologize for." Laura decided that she would introduce herself. "I'm Laura Hope Hyde, but everyone just calls me Laura, you can't expect them to call me my by full name, well my mother does when I'm in trouble." Laura sighed, it had been a long summer but well enough of that, "and these here are Ethan and Minerva." Laura smiled pointing to them both. "There an item." Laura thought she'd get that in. "Anyway want a hand with anything?" Laura was going to be helpful.

Taking another sip of his espresso, Ethan nearly choked as he started laughing at what Minerva said. "Alright.. this is my last one, promise. I'll try not to bounce off the walls too much." He chuckled a bit more, though he couldn't really help himself.. he just loved his espressos too much. And he was so reliant on that caffeine to get him going in the morning. He nodded, agreeing that maybe Laura did see him drinking them. That wouldn't be too surprising as he had at least one or two daily, but it was still surprising to him that she would file that away in her memory bank. "Thanks again, Laura," he smiled at the younger Puff girl. "That was awfully observant of you.." Not to mention really nice.

He nodded to them both as Min asked if he would understand their need to have some time together. "Of course.. I'm familiar with girl time, girl talk, girl's night.. whatever you call it." It was like some unspoken requirement for females, wasn't it? Like they needed to say a certain number of words a day to each other or something terrible would happen.. probably why they always went to the bathroom in groups. He obviously didn't know what he was talking about and shrugged it away. "Sure.. gotta make time for your friends." That much he knew was true.

Ethan glanced at Laura as she mentioned going for a walk. He nodded, then said, "Don't go far.. we expect you to sit with us on the train." He knew Min had been worried about her and he didn't want her wandering off just now. Besides, the train would be here soon. He just lifted his green eyes to the tracks in search of any sign of it when he heard a bit of a commotion. He turned just in time to see Laura on the floor with a girl about Bay's size.. maybe another first year? He started to walk over to offer a hand but they had already straightened themselves out. "Hi.. yeah, I'm Ethan," he said as Laura introduced him and Min, chuckling a bit as she pointed out his relationship status.[/QUOTE]

Minerva laughed at Laura saying she was going to watch over Ethan and then Ethan talking about not bouncing off the walls, she still felt it would be entertaining seeing him bounce off some walls. "Well if you do get hyper I will just send you to the prefect compartment, they can deal with you." She laughed and linked her arm around his. Oh hyper Ethan that would be fun to see maybe she wouldn't have him leave.. Giving him an odd look as he rambled about girl time she couldn't help but chuckle, "Okay your cut off, I think the espressos have already kicked in."

Shaking her head she turned as Laura said she was going on a walk, a very concerned look crossed her face. "Where do you want to go? The train is about to come.. I think you best just stay here, don't need you missing the train or leaving your things behind." No Laura was not allowed out of her sight, not at all. Just as she was going to protest yet again, Laura was on the ground and Minerva was laughing. She wasn't laughing to be mean, but someone just ran into her out of no where. It was funny.. "Do you two.." Oh wait they were already up, alright they didn't need help, Minerva was still going to get closer to the girl for her own protection, because who knows what Laura would.. Oh she was being nice, this was a good thing. Nice to a first year, way to go Laura. Now the attention was turned to them, an item?? Really Laura that word was necessary.. . Of course the little girl wouldn't care about her relationship, she didn't even know Minerva. "Hello, I'm Minerva, but call me Min or Minnie. "

She noticed that the boy could be a little confused without knowing she was joking. She explained: " I mean, I'm kidding." *nods* "I guess you're second year, right?" She couldn't understand the expression of his face. "Blake, you're probably wanting to find your friends and I don't stop talking."

Blake smiled, slipped his hands into his jeans pockets and shrugged. "Like I said, I'm sure you've got nothing to worry about." Eh, second year? Surely he didn't look that young! Granted, she was only off by about a year... "Mm, I'm going into the third year actually and, I haven't got any friends here, yet. I've just started. There were some events that got in the way of attending sooner." He shrugged again.

"What about yourself? Just starting at the school?" That would definitely account her nervousness.

Laura looked at them both, especially Minerva who seemed to want her to stay put, Ethan didn't seem to mind her going for a walk. "I just want to go for a walk for a bit of fresh air." Seriously she just needed some fresh air, but if Minerva wanted she'd stay putt "Okay I'll stay here for you Minerva." Laura smiled, she was enjoying herself now that she had made a new friend, well a potential new friend in this student that had knock her over.

*Blinks*

Yeah she had seen Minerva, what did she think she was going to do hit the person before, she was sure that she had seen Minerva edging closer to the younger person as she spoke, surely Minerva knew Laura wouldn't be mean to someone unless she had a reason and then it wouldn't be anything serious, she might just sent them the wrong way or something like that.

*Blink*

Ethan say what!!!!!!!!!! "But surely you want to sit on your own in a compartment where you two can spend some time alone." Laura smiled at them. "But if Minerva really wants me to sit with you then I will do." Laura had this funny feeling Minerva was going to be like a mother to her this term.

She smiled back. Blake seemed to be a good boy. She was so curious to ask him what kind of events could have happened to delay his entry in the school, but she thought that it could be rude to ask him.
"Yep... Just starting at the school. First year... Just starting in the wizarding world, I guess you could say that..." She nodded and rose her right hand "first witch in my family." She smiled a bit embarrassed, raising her eyebrows. " Have you already been to the Diagon Alley? I'm so curious to see the wizarding shops, but my parents didn't allowed me to go there. Someone from Hogwarts bought me all the books and the magical stuff to me." Blake seemed to be curious, so she added, excitedly "To buy my wand I had to go with my cousin to a suspicious hotel where the shopkeeper was waiting for us, with a lot of boxes of wands. I thought I tryed a thousand of wands to find my wand. I was excited by testing the wands and became upset by knowing that we can't do magic outside the school... Oh, Blake! Here I'm speaking nonstop again! I hope I'm not bothering you!"

SPOILER!!: Gwen

"Sorry,'' Jory said, trying to get a grip of himself. "I know you could have hurt yourself but you looked kind of funny.'' Big grin. Okay. Enough laughing before Gwen thought he was over reacting.

"It is,'' the badger said. Even though hufflepuff hadn't won that cup in a while. Maybe that would change this year? Either way, he enjoyed playing with his House mates. "I don't think I've seen you play for Ravenclaw,'' he added, racking his brains trying to remember if she did. "Maybe you can play this year. It's fun.''

"So, have you begun apparating all around?'' He had done so for at least a week. He had never appreciated appariton more. Can I ask you something? Instantly, Jory began to think he had done something wrong. "Sure,'' he said after telling himself he had done no such thing.

SPOILER!!: Ali

Jory watched in relief as Ali smiled. "Maybe she doesn't think I'm an idiot,'' he thought. Maybe he shouldn't have stared. Yes, he should not have done that. Out aloud, he said, ''Yes, all along.'' All six previous years and now this was to be his final one. He was going to miss the old castle with all the secrets, the classes and most importantly his Professors and friends. He wasn't sure when he would see any of them again.

"Oui, the French school,'' the boy said with a big grin. He had read about that school. "Enjoyed your time there?'' That reminded him of something. "Which year would you be in now? And any ideas as to which house you'll be sorted in?'' Ali had to know about how the Sorting was done at Hogwarts and about the Houses. If not, he could explain.

Being jealous?" she asked.

Oh no, you've done it. The feeling thing. She quickly steped back from her twin, for who knows what might happen, just in case.

Zyanya scowled. She sometimes grew tired of arguing with her sister. There was no point in it anyway. She saw Amara take a step back from her. Why would she do that?

"Alright, then. I shall not accuse you but don't interfere with what I do. Your silly comments annoy me." She said to her sister, but she knew that Amara would continue doing it anyway. That was the problem. Amara never listened to anyone.

Quote:

“Yes, I am a first year. Name's Natasha.” She said smiling back. “I am sure all of the houses are perfect for those that are in them. While shopping, I heard many students chatting about houses and most seem to have a strong opinion of which house they would be in – so I was just wondering what makes any house more desirable than another.” She explained politely.

"Yeah, I guess everyone would be confused about the houses. I think I might be in Ravenclaw. My mother was a Ravenclaw too. Aunt Isobel says I am so like my mother." And Amara like our father. "But then, one cannot be so sure. What about you? Is there any house you would like to be in?" Zyanya asked her first year friend.

Ughhh.

Great.

She just looked around, but she couldn’t spot the cat anywhere. Erm. Maybe she should ask someone? Gwen gave another quick look around, trying to decide who to ask if they had seen Jinx. Hmm. ‘Hey’ You there, firsties. ‘Have you seen a black cat?’ No?

Zyanya was standing in the platform with her sister when someone approached them. It was a tall girl, probably in seventh year. "Sorry, I don't remember. There were a lot of cats passing here and there. What about you?" She asked to her sister. No? "I am really sorry we couldn't be more helpful." Zyanya said to the girl.

"Don't worry, I think the cat will come back to you. Amara once lost hers for three days but it came back at the end." Well it had been kind of her fault. "Um, sorry if its the wrong time but may I know which house you're in?" She said hoping she didn't sound rude.

But... live and learn and try again next year, right?

She maneuvered her cart through the crowd. It sucked that she had to pack for basically the entire year. This meant her trunk was full and heavy. Plus she had CiCi's cage and her broom. Although, she really had no idea why she brought her broom. She didn't every ride it.

She grinned happily spotting her favorite Prefect. She left her cart where it was and ran the rest of the way into Jake's arms. There. Now she was ready to get on the train. She found her ~~most important piece of luggage~~ boyfriend.

Slowing his walk to a stop, Jake decided to dig into his trunk and find his cell phone to see if it worked. He set down his trunk and his broom, but before he could start looking for the phone, he had a girlfriend.

...Like, in his arms.

"Hey," he breathed, wrapping his arms around her automatically and spinning her a few times. A grin slowly spread across his lips as he looked down at Anya. "There you are."

I have gummy worms." Y'know, just to sweeten the deal. Her smile matched his when he seemed excited about her idea. "Yeah? If not then...we could suggest one?" Giggle. "Where would you make a suggestion to make a suggestion box, anyway?" And who even thought of things like this? Grin. "Not unless you want to start a poke war, Summers."

"You're really nice," She whispered back, smiling up at the boy. It was just the truth. He was really nice, and he looked nice, and his hair was nice too. All around just a nice guy, Alec was. "Yeah, he's a lot less lonely now that Aegis is around to play with. I'm glad he's got such a good friend." Even if Aegis did seem to inspire Caleb to get into trouble every now and again. The blonde smiled sheepishly as she continued watching the boy who was now...touching his cheek? Grin. It was nice when he did that too.

"Yeah?" Nodnod!Bounce. "I love them. Baby animals are the best." And they were cute. Like...ridiculously cute. That made them even better, yeah? "Is that silly?" To love animals so much? She did get kind of crazy over them. "They do, yeah. They watch over the little ones until the other moms come back with food. That way they're safe." Nice giraffe mommies were nice. "It is a lot of thinking so...I guess I'll wait and see how I feel next summer?" And then she could make a decision. ...GRIN. "Well...you don't have to be nervous anymore, yeah? I was really nervous about meeting yours as well." Just so he didn't think he was the only one. BEAM. "Thatsoundsbrilliant!"

He was smiling a lot so it meant he didn't think she was weird or anything, right? Right. Grin. "Well you just...lookreallycute." So she couldn't help it, okay? Sheesh.

When she held his hand, Alec's grey-blue eyes travelled down to their hands and he gave hers a small squeeze. That was always reassuring, the hand holding. ... Girlfriend say what? "Of course, Ells!" he said, his eyes travelling back up to her face, "Erm... you'll... need to be in the Prefect's Compartment for a bit, right?" Didn't Captains go in there? And the girl could greet him with some spinach and he'd still be happy to see her. "When don't you have gummy worms?" GRIN. ... A suggestion to make a suggestion box? "I... to the Food Trolley Lady?" he asked before letting out a small chuckle, "A poke war doesn't sound like a bad idea."

GRIN. "I... well... thanks?" He wasn't going to mention that he did try to be nice pretty much all the time. "You're nice too, you know." Like really nice. Even her mean letters might, maybe end up being nice somehow but... he wasn't going to tell her that he thought that. "Yeah..." Nodnod. "And it's really good that he has a guy friend." Alec had a small feeling that the guy might need one of those later on. Maybe. He grinned sheepishly back at the girl and gave his cheek a small pat.

"Really?" GRIN. "No, it's not silly! It's just... really nice how excited you get over them," Really really nice. Alec liked to imagine that her face would light up whenever anyone mentioned elephants or dinosaurs. But especially elephants. "That's really nice! I bet the other mums really appreciate that," Nodnod. "And the other mums bring food for all of the giraffes, right?" They probably did, yeah? Otherwise that would be a little... mean. "That sounds great!" Nodnod. "But... he still seems a bit scary..." A bit. "Really? I... but you and Dad already had a similarity so..." Animals, yeah? GRIN.

He looked... cute? Alec reached up a hand and ruffled his hair again, still grinning sheepishly. "But I'm not doing anything?" Unless he was?

Another anxious glance at the time told her that the train would be ready soon!

Amara gave her the look, trademark dear. What what Hogsmeade and Zonko's? So she wasn't from a wizarding area. "Erm... well I thought you would know, I heard you talking about Aurors to the prefect" she said, apologetically. "Hogsmeade is a village near to Hogwarts" she said, "There are many shops in there...just like in Diagon Alley, but a little less" She knew Diagon Alley, right? "And Zonko's is a joke shop in there, really cool" she concluded. She really didn't know Zonko's? A childhood wasted. "Erm.. are you muggleborn?" she asked. Don't be so blunt. "Sorry" she mumbled. Some people did get hurt by the question. Hurt?

The look again. Gee, I am an expert now. She was starting to get on her nerves. Why was everything an accusation? "Right" she said, a tone of finality in her voice. "I will never interfere" she said through gritted teeth. Am I really angry? Gaah. Who cares? And then she regarded the railway track with discrete scrutiny. This moment forth, she doesn't exist.

As she was just getting into the mood of sulking, a tall girl came up to them. She didn't even cause any problem, ~~yet~~. And ofcourse she wouldn't listen to her talk. What? I didn't do anything? And then she heard 'black cat', 'sorry' and she turned to look at the girl properly. Tall, luggage, careful looking.

Black cat?

WHAAA?

She looked behind to check if it was still there, caged ofcourse. But her cat seemed to have the super ability to disappear at times. And wait, what? "No, it didn't disappear, I let him go" she said, without looking at her twin.

"Well, I didn't see many cats.." she trailed, "Unless you thought I caught your cat and caged it here, and conveniently named it Rush" she said, pointing at HER black cat. No? Savvy? Smirk.

"But I do think I saw some furball identical to this one here, running to over there" she said pointing towards her left. She saw Zyanya through the corner of her eyes. We didn't see any cats? Ahem, you didn't see any cat. SMIRK. SMIRK. SMIRK. "I'm Amara, by the way. Amara Kaul. Pleased to help" she added.

Lucas giggled cheekily. "I think she was still a bit upset about the vase. You know how she gets. It was actually pretty ugly anyway." Something about it being from the past or whatever had gone completely over the 12 year olds head as he'd tried to worm his way out punishment. "D'you reckon she'll get over it by Christmas?" It would kind of suck not to get presents and his Mum was the type to hold grudges. Like big time.

"So what house do you wanna be in then?" Was there like a cool people house or something? Were you sorted alphabetically? How did it work? Lucas had so many questions!

Of course they were real. Big, hairy spiders. Gross. Lucas shuddered as his brother imitated them. "Funny," he muttered and then burst out laughing when the girl mocked his brother. Ha! So much for scaredy cat. Lucas just grinned smugly. Served him right.

But hey, it might've had spiders, but it also had chances for adventure. "You've gotta show us these!" He exclaimed delightely, already thinking up all the damage they could do.

He blinked at the introduction of Isabella and then waved. "Hi!" There was so many people!

Snorting at his calling the name Hufflepuff dumb. She couldn't agree more! Rolling her eyes at James' and the pincer thing. "You would have been scared too, so there." she said blowing a raspberry.

"Erm....one, but I know there's more, there's like six or seven I believe but some are caved in, and I just haven't found them yet." Yep, the school was HUGE and took too long to get through in just one term!

Turning to the girl who finally came over "Hi Isabella, I'm Zoe and this is James and Lucas." Nodding to each one in turn. Merlin she really was going to have to figure out which one was which eventually! She knew who was who now, because well she'd just met Lucas a bit after James, and they were dressed differently. "Yes, disgustingly scary spiders that live in the forest." she said pulling a face again.

Its nice to meet you both." smiling at them both. "What years are all of you?" she asked hope they could all be friends and stand up to the big spiders if ever she wanted to go look at them.

James looked over as the new comer joined them and smiled, "Hola." He looked up at the clock and smiled. It was almost time to gooooooooo woohoo. "I would not have been scared," he said puffing out his chest. Yup he was big and strong like his daddy. Or...well he pretended to be. He stuck his tongue out at Zoe and grinned. Turning back to the new girl he smiled, "Umm...what did we say? 2nd years? We're both 12," he said pointing to his brother. "I'm not sure how all that works. More going with the flow right now." Cause he was cool like that. With an apparently famous dad. This was going to be fun.

"I think it's time to get on the train," he said watching as all the kids started boarding.

MERLIN!!!

Where on earth was that girl??? Lex had spent every second after coming through the barrier ~~hiding from Alice~~ looking for Lottie but the girl was NO WHERE!!! She was still coming on the train, right?? It wasn't like there was some last minute planning and she was suddenly not going back to Hogwarts. Obviously not. That would have been ridiculous 'cause, see, she never mentioned that to her in any of the owls.

Unless...

Unless she had. Everyone knew the most Lex did was skim through words once they were on paper and or parchment--not that that's what she did. Ahem. Of course not. She read which is why she expected to see Lottie by the platform like they planned.

Lex rudely pushed her way through crowds of people as she made her way to the south end of the platform. Technically, she wasn't rude, it was only the people who chose to stand in her way. Not her fault and if she ran something over their feet they had only themselves to blame. You didn't see a potential risk to yourself headed toward you and stand there asking irrelevant questions. It was obvious she was headed in your direction, do both her and yourself a favour and move.

She hauled her trunk and her kneazle along until she finally spotted the girl--and the time on the clock nearby that said they had about 7 minutes to get on the train. See that?? No time to waste!

"Lottie! Thank merlin I found you! I've been looking everywhere for you, thought you might have abandoned me without so much as a heads up--don't by the way because that'd be tragic and junk." Lex threw Felix over her shoulder to make for a free hand which she used to grab Lottie's free hand. "We don't have much time left and I want a good seat so we best get a move on otherwise we might get stuck sitting with some idiots." Lottie didn't want that, she knew she didn't. "Come on then!!" In all this Lex failed to notice the boy standing there and the hand holding. In her mind Lottie would use her other hand to grab her luggage so they could be off. That's what you're doing, right Lottie? Right. Good.

To the train!!!

"Hogsmeade is a village near to Hogwarts" she said, "There are many shops in there...just like in Diagon Alley, but a little less" She knew Diagon Alley, right? "And Zonko's is a joke shop in there, really cool" she concluded. She really didn't know Zonko's? A childhood wasted. "Erm.. are you muggleborn?" she asked. Don't be so blunt. "Sorry" she mumbled. Some people did get hurt by the question. Hurt?

"Oh, that. I had just asked about careers after school is finished. Auror is the only career I have heard of, so I was wondering what others there were." Natasha explained with a nervous smile.

So this was the part where the conversation would get awkward.... She had not really wanted to explain much about where she had come from. "I am sort of a muggle born.... My mother is a muggle, and my father was a wizard. My mentor showed me other wizarding communities, in other countries, and I know some magic already. He just wasn't big on being social...." Natasha tried to explain.

Trying to think of a way to divert the conversation, she glanced at the clock. "Oh hey, we can board the train now!" She said excitedly. "Should we go get a place to sit?" She asked

She smiled a bit embarrassed, raising her eyebrows. " Have you already been to the Diagon Alley? I'm so curious to see the wizarding shops, but my parents didn't allowed me to go there. Someone from Hogwarts bought me all the books and the magical stuff to me." Blake seemed to be curious, so she added, excitedly "To buy my wand I had to go with my cousin to a suspicious hotel where the shopkeeper was waiting for us, with a lot of boxes of wands. I thought I tryed a thousand of wands to find my wand. I was excited by testing the wands and became upset by knowing that we can't do magic outside the school... Oh, Blake! Here I'm speaking nonstop again! I hope I'm not bothering you!"

Blake looked perplexed as Anabeth explained how she had gone about getting her school things together. "That seems like an awful lot of work," he commented, shaking his head. "Maybe next year you'll be able to just go to Diagon Alley? It really is wonderful in there, as well as convenient." Very, VERY convenient.

He chuckled and waved his hand dismissively again. "You really should stop worrying. You're doing just fine." He looked at the train and then bent down to pick up his backpack. "However, we really should get on this train. Wouldn't want all the work you went through to get your school supplies to go to waste, hmm? After you," he added, gesturing for her to board ahead of him. Ladies first and all.

SPOILER!!: Zyanya

Erm. Alright then.

So the girl hadn’t seen the cat around. Great, Gwen thought and tried not to roll her eyes. So she should go and search… maybe around the north end of the platform? Erm… Her thoughts were, however, interrupted as she heard the other girl say something else.

Her head was spinning when she heard the girl talk.

Hyperactive firstie.

Don’t worry? HOW can I not worry? The cat will come back? Well…. He should come back. The train will be leaving soon! And… huh? Who was Amara? Maybe the girl standing right beside the firstie? Hey… they were twins. Ughh. Too much information all of a sudden. ‘Erm. Fine, thanks’, Gwendolyn said simply, drawing her attention away from the hyperactive firstie, and trying to decide where she should be going to search for the cat.

‘Hmm?’, she mused, hearing that the girl asked a question. ‘Oh, I’m a Ravenclaw’, the seventh year said and even offered a small smile. ‘And you are…?’, Gwen started saying, letting the girl finish the sentence. Maybe she was a firstie indeed. Or maybe Gwen was wrong. Hmm.

SPOILER!!: Amara

Her attention was caught by the person standing right next to the hyperactive firstie. Alright… make that TWO hyperactive firsties? Anyway, Gwen listened to what the girl… was she Amara?... anyway- she just listened to what the girl said.

*eye roll*

‘No, I didn’t think he was there’, she said nonchalantly. She was looking around, still not managing to spot Jinx when she heard the other person say something else. Running over there? Gwen glimpsed in that direction before drawing her attention back to the girl. Gwendolyn narrowed her eyes suspiciously, trying to decide if it wasn’t better to just go in the exact opposite way. Hmm. Don’t mess with a Ravenclaw.

Hmm. So she was right. The girl was Amara. ‘Nice to meet you’ Oh wait. She hadn’t introduced herself. ‘Gwen Greene’, she said. Pause. ‘And you are?’, she drew her attention to who seemed to be Amara’s sister.

Quite frankly, she was enjoying her time and paying no attention to anyone else, though the other boy said something about loving one's parents...well, of course! She loves her parents just as much as she loves her brother. And she loves him very much, FYI.

But then she heard someone calling her, and she knew who that someone was, it was a very familiar voice. Her eyes left Garrick as Lex came to her, Felix at hand, and....Merlin! Didn't she see that Lottie was sort of busy? Or...actually, Lottie had opened her mouth to speak but Lex didn't let her. And, by the way, Lottie's free hand had been on Garrick's forearm until Lex snatched it away. "Hey!" It seemed she got nowhere with that small interruption, because Lex started to talk again and leading her away from Garrick...at which point she looked at him and gave him an apologetic smile, after having mouthed 'Sorry' at him.

YOU GOT GLARES, LEX. GLARES. They will last the whole way to the train and the whole way into a compartment.

So much for being escorted to the train by Garrick. THANKS a lot, Lex.

Hmm.

Wait- what was Wade saying? ‘Norway?’, Gwendolyn mused. Now that sounded interesting.

Yeah.. Well, that was a lot he got out of her summer. Heh, that was okay. Wade figured, perhaps Miss Gwen didn't want to talk about it and he wasn't going to push her out of her comfort zone.. It was kinda cute actually to him. Heh.

"Yep, in Oslo." After all, she seemed little more interested in where he spent his summer. "went to the beach and spent time flying with my cousin.." So then he asked. "You ever been there?"

"I'm Laura Hope Hyde, but everyone just calls me Laura, you can't expect them to call me my by full name, well my mother does when I'm in trouble." Laura sighed, it had been a long summer but well enough of that, "and these here are Ethan and Minerva." Laura smiled pointing to them both. "There an item." Laura thought she'd get that in. "Anyway want a hand with anything?" Laura was going to be helpful.

This girl was really nice, she was not angry at Aphrodite because she has been bumped her. Fortunately they were not suffered any serious injury. "I'm sorry once again. My name is Aphrodite, Aphrodite Dragongrass, you can call me Aphrodite or Fro for short," said Aphrodite as smiled to her when she let out some dust off her own clothes as she fell.

Did he catch a look when he mentioned books? Ethan wasn't sure if he had imagined it or not, but he was fairly certain Minerva had picked up on the word or something.. but then the look was gone just as quickly. Maybe he was just imagining things. Shaking off the thought, he turned his attention back to Min and Bay, chuckling a bit as she mentioned talking to people.. a lot of people. Yeah, that was an understatement. "Back of the train is where it's at," he agreed with a grin. And wasn't it convenient that they were at the South End where it was prime location to get onto the back.

His eyes fell on Bay as she mentioned just where she lived. Oh. That seemed awfully unfortunate. He knew she mentioned not having parents, but he thought she had someone.. not living in an orphanage. He looked on a bit sadly, quickly changing his expression to a small smile, certain she didn't want to be pitied. "I bet that was quite a shock," he said, smiling bigger as she mentioned finding out a few days ago. Must have been just the day before he ran into her. No wonder she seemed so out of sorts.. well, besides the lack of guardianship thing.

Taking another sip of his espresso, Ethan nearly choked as he started laughing at what Minerva said. "Alright.. this is my last one, promise. I'll try not to bounce off the walls too much." He chuckled a bit more, though he couldn't really help himself.. he just loved his espressos too much. And he was so reliant on that caffeine to get him going in the morning. He nodded, agreeing that maybe Laura did see him drinking them. That wouldn't be too surprising as he had at least one or two daily, but it was still surprising to him that she would file that away in her memory bank. "Thanks again, Laura," he smiled at the younger Puff girl. "That was awfully observant of you.." Not to mention really nice.

He nodded to them both as Min asked if he would understand their need to have some time together. "Of course.. I'm familiar with girl time, girl talk, girl's night.. whatever you call it." It was like some unspoken requirement for females, wasn't it? Like they needed to say a certain number of words a day to each other or something terrible would happen.. probably why they always went to the bathroom in groups. He obviously didn't know what he was talking about and shrugged it away. "Sure.. gotta make time for your friends." That much he knew was true.

Ethan glanced at Laura as she mentioned going for a walk. He nodded, then said, "Don't go far.. we expect you to sit with us on the train." He knew Min had been worried about her and he didn't want her wandering off just now. Besides, the train would be here soon. He just lifted his green eyes to the tracks in search of any sign of it when he heard a bit of a commotion. He turned just in time to see Laura on the floor with a girl about Bay's size.. maybe another first year? He started to walk over to offer a hand but they had already straightened themselves out. "Hi.. yeah, I'm Ethan," he said as Laura introduced him and Min, chuckling a bit as she pointed out his relationship status.

"Hello, Ethan and Minerva. I apologize for bumping into Laura earlier. My name is Aphrodite, Aphrodite Dragongrass," she replied as she reached her hand to Ethan and Minerva. She also remember to answered Laura's question, "Looks like I got lost, I just bought some food for the road later and now none of my family here right now. Maybe they are on the other side," she said, smiling at them.

"Well you can be anything" she said. "There is EVERYTHING here, equivalent to all the muggle jobs" she paused. "Doctors, architects, players, government people..etc..etc" Like a boss. Was she nervous? The other girl looked nervous. Really?

I didn't do anything, just yet.

Lineage.

Always a problem.

"It doesn't matter" she observed. "Erm, it's called half-blood by the way" she said. And that's to it. She didn't want to discuss heritage or lineage. And it looked like Natasha didn't too.

Too good.

And she said train. WHOOSH! And here it was.

"Yeah, do let's get in and find a decent seat" she said, thanking the train for the escape. "How about middle cars?" she asked, as she dragged the trolley and started to move towards the train.

Did she just ROLL her eyes at me? Her expression was blank.

No, I will think the otherwise.

The girl was already in a very bad mood and she didn't want towering older students to ask her silly questions and roll their eyes at her.

"Okay, I was just trying to defuse the tension" she said, rather coldly. Don't ask whose. "But I did see a cat running that way" she pointed there again. If the older one didn't want to follow her info, yeah, bad for her. She was not going to cling around the girl and search for the cat frantically. Not her type.

"And I don't think many people own black cats in here, do they?" she asked. That's her only option. Follow or lose the cat. Nice.

And she heard her say Ravenclaw to Zyanya. Another smart person. Maybe those two should start a club, Smartness Unlimited.

Gwen.

"Nice to meet you too" she said, genuinely at that. "Gwen" The girl looked like senior. "Are you a sixth year?" she asked, taking a guess. She looked for a shiny batch. Almost all the oldies she saw had one. Nope.

She can't dock points off me.

And the train came. "Ah, train" she said, in an even voice. "You should probably find you cat before the train leaves" And runs over your cat, unless you want it dead. SMIRK.

She can roll her eyes now. SMIRK.

oh they were all 2nd years. Well maybe they would still like to be her friend. "2nd year ya. Well this will be my first year at Hogwarts." Isabella said looking toward the train. Was it really time to go already. "Do you all mind if I sit with you? She asked hoping. "I would like to hear more about the happenings around the school."

SPOILER!!: Amara

Rude first year.

Gwen already liked her.

Heh.

She reminded Gwendolyn of herself when she was a first year. Hehe. ‘Erm. No’, she started saying. Come on- you can say it. It’s not that weird. ‘Seventh year’, the Ravenclaw eventually said. And she still couldn’t get used to this.

In the next moment, she heard a ‘Meyow’ somewhere close to the place where she was standing. Tracking down the source of the noise, she finally managed to spot Jinx. ‘There you are’, she said and took the cat in her arms.

Was she being awkward? Amara stared at her. Ah, seventh year. And she is not being all tochy-feely. Good, saves time.

"Last time here then" she said. Take a good look. And next moment, the girl's allegedly missing cat appeared out of thin air. One could suspect that it had been listening to the conversation. Catnosis. Maybe they had super powers.

She eyed her own cat. That one was really violent.

Like me.

Evil grin.

As suspected, Rush gave a low purr and was poised to strike. She grabbed the mass of black thing in a swish.

"Oh no you don't" she said, to the cat. "Behave or I'll cage you" she scolded. She didn't want another fiasco like what happened with the next-door-lady's cat.

"He's allergic to other cats" she said to Gwen. "Particularly, black cats" she added. "Black cat syndrome" She shook her head in disbelief. Well, it was really sorta black cat syndrome. The way he charged at other cats, ~~people~~.

Now the girl had got her cat. So what were they waiting for? To have it get lost again?

"You're cat is safe" Too bad. I wanted a good show. "So can we move on to the boarding-the-train part?" she asked, her look as if challenging the older girl to oppose the proposal.

"Right," Wade smiled as Gwen took off towards the train, with him right after.

Anabeth came into the train as Blake had suggested to her. She was just delighted with his respectful and elegant manner. It was easy to feel confortable and secure by Blake's side, which was new to her, as neither her parents used to have manners. And looking ahead through the corridor, she commented "It's crowded... Do you think we'll be able to find a seat?" After they walk a little, she pointed to an empty compartment, without looking back to check whether Blake was or wasn't behind her: "we can seat there. What do you think?" She slipped the door open: "Someone might join us, who knows?" She added hopefully: " It should be great! What do you think? Blake? Blake?" She turned herself back to check if Blake was still there.
