His emotions went from extreme happiness to shock and a little bit of anger. "What?!? Not coming back?" Aly meant more to Elan than he ever expected and at the moment he thought things were getting to a great place she said she was done with Hogwarts.

He got ready to fling the bracelet away and then thought better of it. Besides, he had something for her. "Aly, I wish you would come back. How come you have to take care of her? Isn't there someone else? Someone who doesn't mean so much to me?"

"Do you really think I want to leave? Do you think I'm doing this to just get away from you?" She asked, looking away from him. She felt like running and hiding in a compartment that had no one in it. "There's no one else. My sister left and I can't reach her. My grandmother's doctor was the one who sent me an owl telling me she was sick." She took a deep breath and hid her face in her hands again.

Elan looked at her and could see the pain in her face. He put the bracelet in his pocket and held his arms ouot to her. "Aly. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be selfish. I just wanted to spend more time with you."

After a few moments, he reached into hispocket and pulled out the long box. He slid it over and placed it on her lap.

She rubbed at her eyes and looked up at him again. "It's alright. You were just acting on instinct, probably." She scooted closer to him and leaned against his side. Looking down at the box in her lap, she ran her fingers over it. "What is it?" She asked, looking up at him again.

He wrapped his arms around her and smiled. "It's nice to have this time atleast." He grinned as she asked about the box. "Open it and see."

"Why did you get me something?" She asked, looking back down at the box. "You didn't even know that I was leaving. You shouldn't have bought me anything."

She sighed and opened the box. Once she saw what was inside, her jaw dropped. "Elan, you really shouldn't have. This must have cost you a fortune." She picked the necklace up out of the box and ran her finger over the pendant.

He shrugged. "I wanted you to know how I felt. I didn't know it would be the last time I saw you."

He watched her. She seemed to like it. "I wanted to and my family does ok...so dad picked it up in Milan."

"Oh Elan.." She trailed off and sniffled. She didn't know that he cared for her this much. "Does it open?" She asked, messing with the pendant. She couldn't seem to get it open. "It won't open for me." She looked up at him and pouted. "Will you open it for me?"

He smiled. "I'm sorry...I suppose I didn't know how to say it very well. I thought it would be easier this way."

He nodded to both questions. He reached out and took it and pressed the tiny button on the side to make it open and reveal what lay inside.

"Don't be sorry. It's beautiful and I'll treasure it forever." She smiled and reached her arms up, hugging him. "It has us inside!" She exclaimed, as she took the locket back from him and looked inside. "Aww. We look so cute. I remember that day."

He blushed as she hugged him. "I hope so. And yeah...It was the only picture of us I could fit in there." He looked at it with her and smiled. "We look so tiny. It was a great day though."

"It's alright. It's a really pretty locket and the picture is so cute." She squeezed him again and giggled. "It's a really awesome gift. Thank you." She shut the locket and held it out to him. "Can you help me put it on?"

"I'm glad you like it." Her squeeze made his stomach do flips. He nodded as he held it over her neck to clasp it.

She reached up and gather her hair up in her hands, moving it out of the way so he could clasp the necklace around her neck. "Like it? I love it!" She exclaimed, leaning against his side again when he was done with the necklace. She let her hair down and her hands immediately went to the necklace.

He quickly attached it in the back and let it fall around her neck. "Glad." He leaned against her and their weight kept them upright.

Miranda dragged her heavy trunk to the luggage car. What did she have in there anyways? She couldnt remember it being this heavy when she came to Hogwarts... Though her father was the one carrying it, that might be why.

Her right arm was still hurting a bit after the last quidditch game, so she was dragging it mostly by her left hand. It was tricky.
Atlast she was at the car, where two students were being all lovey-dovey. Gah, get a room you two... she thought as she managed to push her trunk up and position it at the back of the car. Love, ew.

Miranda huffed and wiped her forehead. A thought came to her and she smiled, she would soon be seeing her family again.
She opened her bag and took out a chocolate frog before heading over to the door leading to the other cars.
Hopefully she would find somewhere to sit.

Holly dragged her trunk, filled to the brim with clothes and other accessories, to the Luggage Car. Oh, how exciting it is, she thought, for a new year at school!

"Hey Rachel!", Toshi waved as he saw his girlfriend. "How`re you doing?".
He put his trunk to the ground. "I´ll miss you for the next hours, until we meet again!", he smiled and hugged her tightly.
"It must be great to live in Hogsmeade, only a few minutes away from Hogwarts!"

"Hey Rach!,"Lisa yelled out as she saw Rachel standing near the luggage car.She threw her heavy trunks into the car with some difficulty and then gave Rachel a big hug.

"You live in Hogsmeade?Wow!You are soo lucky,"Lisa smiled. "You gotta come and visit me over the holidays okay?"Lisa laughed and told her.

"I'll miss you too," she said sadly, hugging him as tightly as she could. "Yeah, I suppose. It's going to be really awkward for the first few days, but I hope it'll get better otherwise I might go crazy," she said and smiled. Truth was, she was actually really excited about living with her uncle and really hoped things will work out. How cool would it be if I could stay here every summer...

Rachel turned around as she heard Lisa call. "Lisa! I haven't seen you in months! How are you?" she asked eagerly as she hugged her friend. "Yeah, it's a new arrangement. I've never lived here before, so it should be interesting," she answered and then smiled. "Of course I'll come visit you! Just send me an owl with the details, ok?" she replied with a big grin. She then turned to Toshi and said, "You too. Promise you won't forget," at this she turned to Lisa as well, directing it to both of them, "Ok?"

"I'm good, what about you?"Lisa asked as she hugged Rachel back."Yup, I won't forget.Well maybe I might,"Lisa said teasing."No I won't, dont worry, okay?"Lisa said laughing.
"You haven't introduced me to your friend here yet Rachel,"Lisa said with winking.

"I'm fine. Excited actually," she said and then hit Lisa on the forarm lightly, "You can't forget! And you have to come visit me too!" She looked slightly confused when she apparently hadn't introduced Lisa to someone.... Oh! She giggled and turned to Toshi, "You guys don't know each other? Ok, well Lisa," she said and pointed to Toshi, "This is my boyfriend Toshi. Toshi," she said, pointing to Lisa, "This is my one of my best friends, Lisa." She laughed, amused by what she was doing.

"Ouch that hurt,"Lisa said hitting Rachel back, only slightly.
"Definitely, tell me your address and I won't leave you alone.That much is guaranteed!,"Lisa said laughing."Nope, Hi Toshi!ice to meet ya"Lisa said waving.Lisa felt happy that Rach had said that she was one of her best friends.She hugged her again.

Rachel laughed. "Well, I would tell you but the problem is, I have absolutely no idea! My uncle is supposed to meet me at the gates in about half an hour and he will show me the way from there," she said, realising how weird it was that she didn't know where she was going to spend the summer. She smiled and hugged Lisa back. I really missed her...

Miles, in no excuse to hesitate and mope, threw his two luggage bags onto the car. He hoped they wouldn't get lost like last time, or he'd have to have a few words with the dudes who sort the luggage out. Bwaha. Evil, unreasonable Miles. Atleast he was in a happier mood than before.
