"Hi Melissa" Victoria greeted with a warm smile, she liked the Hufflepuff girl, she was always nice. She had to chuckle, silently, at the comment Slytherin-related, she'd been avoiding one herself, but she was at least on good terms with them for a reason.

Victoria seemed amused by what she said, but didn't comment, she was actually thinking about Teddy, she haven't seen him yet.

Running her fingers through the messy mane she called her hair as she gave Gabe a small smile. He seemed normal and yet very strange to the to the oddball red head. Though she perfered silence over loudness she could help but like being around those who loved to express themselves through speaking.

Biting lightly down on her bottom lip, she tried to recall her summer. Her summer had been well and nothing more and nothing less. "My summer was fine. Thank you for asking Alexi." she answered thoughtfully as she placed her hands in her lap. "And how was your summer?" she asked with interest.

November gave Victoria a small smile "Hello Victoria and how was you summer?" she asked being polite. She looked over and noticed a hufflepuff walk into the door way. Her mind was blank for a name and that was rather embarressing.

Melissa smiled back at her. "Oh, hello Victoria I didn't see you there I'm sorry!"said Melissa as she gave her a warm smile. "So, Victoria I was just asking Alexi how her summer was do you want to share?" Melissa asked her smiling. As she looked at November she smiled. "Hello November you probably don't know my name, but I'm Melissa."said Melissa

"It was pretty good. Played some quittich. I got offered a couple of tryouts for next season. So during christmas holidays I am gone out of Hogwarts trying out for a bunch of different teams. See if I can make myself a carreer." She laughed as she leaned back in her seat.
"Fairly darn well." She did all the talking as her brother sat in the corner staring out the window. Alexi looked out. She could see Hogwarts just around the corner. Herheart fluttered a bit. One more house to go? Alexi did a double glance as she though she saw flames, but as they turned the corner she couldn't see them anymore. Must have been her mind playing tricks.

Victoria was going to answer about her summer when she noticed something strange. Something out the window. Considering the only one staring out the same window, besides Gabe and herself, was Alexi, she jumped slightly next to her, "Alexi, did you see that?" but immediately she frowned, there was nothing there but darkness.

She couldn't be mistaken what she saw, "Gabe, you didn't notice anything strange?" she asked. And where was Tedddy, after all?

Gabe noticed what the other two girls noticed too. He looked at Victoria. "Noticed what?" He asked her. Gabe was a good lier, he devopled the talent over the years. It helped him be more independent. He wasn't much of one to let people in or know how he feeled.

Alexi looked at Vic. So she wasn't the only one who saw it? But Gabe did? Maybe just from their seat they could see it. "It was most likely just a big bird, or a griffin or god knows what from the COMC class. Just going out for a stroll." It seemed logical.

"You didn't?" she asked, her eyes narrowing a bit, how could he not see it? He was staring out as well. She looked at Alexi for a moment and a smile met her face, "Really? I would've said like a dying Phoenix, but I don't think it was a bird" she shook her head, but the more she stared at the window the more blackness she saw. It was very unsettling.

The mountain now blocked the children's view and they couldn't see anything. If there was a problem the train wouldn't continue on anyways. The conductor would have known to stop. "I am sure it's something stupid." She laughed looking at her borhter. His mind seem preoccupied with something. She could feel it.

Melissa looked at Victoria. "Ok, your not crazy I seen it it and it looked a flying creature!"said Melissa as she looked out the blank black sky. "That's weird I wonder what it really was?"Melissa asked but Victoria in general. As she continued looking out the window she couldn't help not to wonder what that thing was and was it was flying around the train for.

Alexi swore she saw Fire, but Melissa saw a bird. Perhaps it was a bird. "Most likely one of the creatures from the forest going out for a jaunt. It can't be anything to be scared of. From the past 6 years we have been here there have been some pretty freaky stuff." She remembered one time she ventured into the forest a little too deep to almost become giant spider food. "It's most likely nothing to be alarmed of."

Victoria nodded, she knew of worst things in Hogwarts. She did have a lot of background on the subject, after all. "Yeah, you're probably right" she said, with a shrug, but looked at Gabe, he must've seen something remotely familiar to what they described, or even something.

She remembered her uncle Charlie that worked with dragons, and dragons meant fire, but there was no way there'll be a dragon nearby, unless the whole 'Norbert' story was correct. "I know what you mean Alexia, there's still odd creatures at Hogwarts" she said, and looked outside again.

Melissa nodded. "Yeah, your Alexi we have came across some pretty weird looking creatures like those weird looking horses in the forest we met when we had detention remember?" Melissa asked her. "Maybe, it's just one of those flying around, who knows were not that far from Hogwarts!"said Melissa.

I g2g to bed night!

"God knows what is in that forest." Alexi turned her attenton away from the window- she wasn't going to let herself be bother with that. Some stupid thing that will just worry them all. For all they knew a dragon might have found his way here some how. Good for him. Give the ministry a couple hours and everything would be sorted out.

Gabe sat there and listened to the girls talk of he possibilities of what it could have been. Yes creature seemed the most logical and comforting thought that one could come up with. As he kept to himself his crystal blue eyes stared out of the window.

OOC: I am heading to bed too. Talk to you all tomorrow :]

ooc: it's ok, c ya!

As she looked outside, her gaze got locked on the reflection of Gabe's eyes through the window. She only, umm, "stared" for a few moments before turning her head towards the compartment. Enough with the window sighting then, there was nothing out there, well, nothing to worry about, perhaps.

"So..." she cleared her throat and grabbed her bag from the floor, "Anyone care for a sugar quill?" she asked, taking out one for her; she'd always taken a supply of sweets wherever she went, just in case.

Teddy is walking down the hall, a little lost, a little dazed. He knows exactly why too. It just isn't the same. Half of him seems to be missing. Perhaps they arent meant to be together, but even so, it seems like half of him was torn away.
As he walks by one particular compartment he glances in and sees some people he knows...Alexi, Melissa...November..i think that's it..Gabe. Teddy takes a step in, then he sees her; Victoria. He definitely can't sit in her, for his sake and hers. He takes a step back out, hoping no one noticed him, and heads for the nearest compartment. To his surprise it is empty. Teddy plops down in a chair, glad to be off his feet. He leans forward and puts his head into his hands. He isn't sure how this year is going to be, but it is sure going to be an interesting one.

Victoria didn't know what he knew that she was staring at him through the window. Once again inside he laughed- but this time a rather confused laugh. The emotions on his face stayed the same- and didn't even show a trembled. When sitting there his sister started to get up from her seat.

That was... Alexi thought as she got up. She beamed at the rest of the compartment where Teddy went unnoticed to them, but not to her. "I'll go make a trip to the candy cart." She said to them. Truely that wasn't her plan. No she went on to look for Ted.

Alexandra walked down the hall and saw, and passed, the cart with the ild woman pushing it- trying to make sense of first years bambling of wanting something. Not far from there was Ted. She turned into compartment where he was sitting alone. "Hey there mister mysterious." She smiled at him.

Rosalyn made her way through the carriages, she wasn't in the best mood that day. She'd been held up at one end of the carriage. A first year's mother had found her and assumed that she was a first year aswell because of her height. I'm not THAT small! Rosalyn had protested in her mind. The woman had taken Rosalyn and pushed her onto the train along with some first year boy, telling them they could keep each other company. To Rosalyn's annoyance, the boy seemed to be awed by Rosalyn's appearance, how irritating it was to be part-veela at times. The boy wouldn't stop talking to her and wouldn't leave her alone. Rosalyn had only just gotten away when she said she was going to buy a pumpkin pasty from the trolly. To be fair, Rosalyn was a bit taller than the first year boy, so she didn't see why the lady would asume she was a first year. She certainly didn't look like one.
She sighed with releif when she peered into a compartment and noticed Gabe, November, Victoria and the others all in that compartment. She dove into it as fast as she could when she heard the voice of the annoying little child calling her name.
She slumped down silently into her seat, glaring at the floor miserably. She ranted in her thoughts for a while about how typical it was for her to be caught in that situation. She suddenly looked up at her friends and peered her eyes at them. "Do you lot think I look like a first year?" She asked them, grumpily.

Rebecca had just gotten on the train in time and to make things worse she had no idea what so ever where her friends where. Slowly she started boring the task of finding them. Once she made it to the middle of the train she heard a famillar voice talking about looking like a firstie so she walked in, "hey guys" she smiled and sat down, "and no you don't Rosalyn"

Teddy looked up when he heard his name. He smiled when he saw it was Alexandra. It was more of a forced half smile though.
"Hey..."
He still didnt feel that great, but didnt want to be rude, especially since Alexi had always been nice to him. He liked her. She kind of reminded him of what his mom might have been like, and he liked that.
Teddy realized he was being a little rude.
"Oh..sorry," He made room so she could sit down. "I'm just not quite all here...I'm sure you've heard the news..."

Rosalyn looked up at Rebecca as she entered and smiled at her. "Hello Rebecca!" She greeted, enthusiasticly. "And thank you!" She replied, with a sharp nod of her head. That woman must have been blind or something. She thought in her head, trying to make excuses as to why someone would think a seventh year to be a first year. Maybe she was insane. She added in her thoughts before looking up at her friends, "Good summer?" she asked to no one in particular.

"The news?" Alexi sat down across from Teddy, beside the window. She couldn't play dumb, no that would just be mean. "Yah I did." She said stopping the sarcasm. Ted was too kind of a person and she had known him too long to use sarcasm when he was down. Though most likely it would happen again. "So..." She wanted to know some info. "Who did the deed? You? Her? Both?"

"I...I'm not really sure exactly. We both sorta started to grow apart. The final thing started off with how she looks at some other guys..it made me feel jealous. I asked her about it, and she seemed to get defensive, and said how I do it to. I couldnt think of any other girl I would look at that way. She started yelling.....I lost my temper...I yelled back something like 'Fine..if you don't want me, I'm not forcing you to be with me.' She said 'Fine'and walked away....and it was over.."
Teddy didnt think he would be able to talk about this for a while, but he felt oddly comfortable talking to Alexi, it was nice.

Blonde hair flying about, she grimaced as she neared the train. She didn't want to be here. Groaning slightly, she lugged her suitcase up the few stairs and into the compartment hall. Shoving her suitcase into an empty compartment on the way, she shrugged her shoulders when a few first years gave her a weird look. It wasn't like she really cared. The train workers would see to it anyways.

Slowly making her way down, she spotted the crowded compartment immediately. Peeking in, she grinned spotting a few familiar faces. Sliding open the door, she waved to everyone. "Hey guys." She said, spotting Gabe and Alexi, who was leaving the compartment. "Can I join?" She asked, not waiting for a reply and plopping down beside Gabe.

Alexandra listened to how it happened. It just seemed as though the two had snapped. Somethings were just not meant to be. "Well I am sorry about it." She lied. She still felt guilty about being happy that the two were over with. Her hands grasped her black and blue hair and tied it back into a high pony tail. She looked out the window. Soon they would be at Hogwarts.

Gabe watched Alexi leave the compartment. She wasn't off to go get candy, no sh wanted to go find Lupin. The joy of being twins. He looked over at the door and saw more people walking in. He hoped that they were going to arrive soon. He hated being in the train for so long. But as he thought that the train came to a stop.

"We're here!" Alexi said cheerfully getting up from her seat. She smiled at Teddy. "Ready to start our last year at Hogwarts?"

Unable to keep a frown with Alexi's cheerful face, Teddy smiled as he stood up.
"I guess I don't have a choice, heh. I just hope that this year gets better than how it started."
