Poor Cope. He looked a bit in shock that so many people had crowded into the compartment in such a short span of time. Anna thought back to the train ride to school way back in September. She's joined Cope in a compartment, and they'd flung jelly slugs against the walls of the train just to see if they'd stick. The candy had, in fact, stuck...and probably stained the walls, too. Anna really didn't have enough courage to go check that one particular compartment to see if they'd done permanent damage on it. "So, Cope, how'd you end up liking your first year at Hogwarts? You seemed to have enjoyed it."

"Oh, well that sounds like a lot of fun," she said, smiling and nodding in reply to what Kayla had said about camping. Anna couldn't really imagine Plymouth doing a whole lot of camping, though. Poor Plymouth was the type who toe-stepped on a broom, rather than actually riding it. Anna just couldn't picture him camping, but who knew. Hmm, though. Something told Anna Kayla had something up her sleeves, although what exactly that was, Anna didn't know. "I'm...I'm..." Getting married? No, no. She wasn't ready to announce that one yet. "I'm going to Greece with Cale and some friends. I'll be back just in time for the new school year to start, too."

When the compartment door suddenly opened, Anna glanced up to see Paris enter. "Oh, hey there, Paris!" she greeted. "Welcome to apparently the most packed compartment on the train!"

"Welcome, Tobi," Anna said, picking up on the fact that Tobi wasn't exactly a fan of anyone getting all mushy over him. "Well, anyway, good luck and all that stuff, you know. It's been cool." There. That seemed to-the-point and not really mushy. Oh, good! Cela was going to find candy for her! Anna might not have to get up and take a trip to the trolley after all. Besides that, didn't the trolley lady sometimes come around to the different compartments with all the candy? Anna slightly remembered her doing so a few times. "Erm, carnivals?" Anna questioned, giving Cela a confused look. "I really don't know. Erm, is that where you're going?"

Hoping to duck the question, Jake began to swing his legs beneath his seat. Maybe a bad idea for such a cramped space, but so be it. "I wonder what I'll do when I get back," he mused out loud. "Wonder what my dad is like... wonder if he's nice..." Jake added, staring sideways out of the window.

"Yeah," Jake nodded, lifting the tank again. "She said I could have one when we found out her tarantula got pregnant... That was an... interesting day..."

Bwaha!

Looking over at Paris' question, Jake looked out of the window and appeared to address the glass, but was talking to Paris' reflection. "I'm finding my dad," he said.

Rose frowned as he started to speak, his stuttering putting her on edge and she felt herself heat up. Startled as the subject turned completely, she looked outside, to see an actual butterfly. "It's.." She trailed off as Jake as Lima had called him moved into a tiny ball. Blinking in confusion, she reached forward, "Are you alright?" She asked softly.

Rose frowned looking to Elizabeth for an answer. She had no idea how to reply, it wasn't her decision. Surely..but Lima was looking at her. Swallowing and feeling put on the spot, she felt her cheeks redden and nodded, "Emm, sure" At the mention of Paris and party there, Rose sighed, "I've always wanted to go to Paris.." Frowning as Lima adamently defended her dislike of her name, she shrugged. It was her name afterall. Grinning cheekily as Lima snorted, she laughed, "Don't call me Rosamund. Forget the name is in any way connected to me" Her eyes widened, "Touring? Amanda who?" She stopped babbling questions and restrained herself. "Sounds like fun.." She finished nodding.

Copernicus smiled slightly and gave Tobi a little nod. "I'm sure you do. Will you be at Cela's birthday party this summer?" He was hoping to get a chance to thank the boy for... well, for everything up to punching him in the face.

He was embarrassed that his subtle move for his book had been spotted by EVERYONE in the car, so he let the bag slip to the floor with a dull thud. His face was all apologetic and mock innocence as he reached out and grabbed Cela's ankle to keep her from kicking at him.

"Plymouth has candy for you," he noted as the other boy gave her his candy. "But you can have anything you can find in my bag. I doubt there's much." He gestured down to his satchel on the floor. And let Plymouth entertain everyone so he could just sit quietly and take it all in. It was nice to be surrounded by friends.

If she had been drinking her Apple soda she would have sprayed it out of her nose at Plymouth. She giggled and covered her mouth with her hand to keep from snorting at him. He was so crazy.

Paris smiled at waved at Anna. "Yeah it looks like it." Something was sparkling on Anna's hand, and Paris' jaw dropped. She grabbed Anna's hand to get a better look at it. "This is beautiful. A 4 caret diamond in a platinum setting with 16 1 caret diamonds in the band." She drolled. Paris loved jewelry. She looked at the ring. "Perfect clarity," she breathed.

It was getting very crowded in the cabin, ignoring the fact she was blushing like crazy, she reckoned it was hot. Taking a deep breath, she inched towards the door. "I'll be right back" She breathed, opening the door, relieved as cold air hit her.

Kayla threw Tobi a warning look, "Would you like a tissue?" she asked dryly. She straightened up from Plymouth and raised an eyebrow. "Well you had better write because my owl can be just as feisty as I am. And I will get her to peck you to death if you don't write." She poked her tongue out at him, she liked picking on Tobi he was always good value.

"Naturally" Kayla drawled. "It is the Toussaint way after all." She watched the interaction between Cela and Cope and she had to refrain from rolling her eyes. Right under poor Plymouth's nose and all...oh well all's fair in love and war as they say. "I'll talk to Nico I promise, I'm sure I can make him see reason." But this was his sister we were talking about...hmm might be a little harder than she first thought.

"Lovely to see you Paris" she said returning the girl's hug. "Oh I'm going camping with Plymouth and Cope. It's going to be soooooo much fun." Kayla was pretty sure her idea of camping and Plymouth's were probably world's apart but it would be interesting nevertheless.

"Oooh blood oaths? Now you're talking Plymouth, I have a special knife I use especially for that kind of thing. How many blood oaths have you made before? Should I bring my crossbow too?" Kayla looked at Plymouth deadly serious, because that was the kind of camping that she used to do when she was younger. Sleeping under the stars, building a fire and hunting deer and rabbits...yep that's how camping was done.

Kayla watched as he passed off the candy to Cela and gave him an indignant look. "They were for you and you just give them away." She looked passed Plymouth to Celandine, "Not too many Cela."

Oh, oh now he had his head on her shoulder. Plymouth Morgan was the biggest flirt she had ever seen but unfortunately he did not realise what he was doing, which was rather unfortunate for him. Merlin, he had a lot of hair, it was rubbing against her cheek and tickling her nose. She moved her head to try and stop the itching and to everyone else it probably looked like she was nuzzling Plymouth Morgan. "Oh you never know Plymouth you could have. Our little accident was rather quick so I never got to tell." Kayla raised an eyebrow at Plymouth but it was kind of hard to look him the face considering that his head was resting on her shoulder. "It would have put you in a kind of predicament wouldn't it? Cause I don't like to share you know?"

"Oh really? I have a villa in Greece. Are you going to the mainland or are you staying on one of the islands?" She loved her villa and Greece was one of the most beautiful places in the world. Kayla gave Anna a wink as she glanced down at Plymouth's head on her shoulder. 'He's soooo cute' she mouthed before stifling a giggle.

Again these two were at it and she gave Cope a look. "But she's not to have too much okay Copernicus." Cela and candy=disaster and she was pretty sure that Nico had stressed that to the two brothers. "Just remember Nicholai is probably picking her up." Kayla knew she didn't need to say anymore than that.

Elizabeth continued to listen, idly petting Bella, who was still a little fidgety, as Rose continued to talk to Lima. She found the revelation of Lima's real name fascinating, especially since she considered her own name ordinary and almost boring. It always piqued her curiosity, how it seemed everyone she met at Hogwarts had interesting names. More so the girls than the boys, with a few exceptions. And when Rose mentioned that her name was a bit more elaborate than they knew, she filed that away in her mind, then getting distracted by Reese's arrival. As Rose also seemed to have done, ultimately returning to petting Bella. It really did seem to be a good thing that most of the people squeezing into the compartment were small.

Elizabeth turned her attention from her Gryffie friend petting her cat when Lima spoke again, smiling at the mention of Lima havign a party. "That would be fun. And it's not like I'm not going to have to come back to this side of the Atlantic at some point in August. I am going to have to get ready for next term, after all." She laughed a little, before continuing. "So I'll try to work something out." Maybe she could convince her mom to let her visit Rhiannon in Wales again. She was fairly certain her cousin would let her go visit Lima in France, if she was invited.

And her interest was piqued again as a tour was mentioned. "Really? A tour sounds interesting," she commented, randomly flashing back to their joking conversation in the library about her writing a book. "Where are you going on tour?"

And then, after Paris arrived and squeezed inside as well, Elizabeth was startled when Bella wriggled again, and looked over to see Rose inching toward the door. "Okay, sure," she said before the Gryffie disappeared,getting a better grip on her cat and taking in a breath as the door opened and let some more air into the compartment from the corridor. It had been getting kind of stuffy, which she hadn't paid attention to until now.

Kevin wandered along the back of the train trying to find an empty compartment and sighed when he found one that was empty and sat down after placing his trunk on the overhead rack and sighed he was going home to an uncertain summer

Brandon decided to take a seat at the back of the train, rather than the front. He sat in an empty carriage and took a minute to get his breath back after carrying his heavy trunk to the train.
He then started to read a book he'd took out before he'd boarded about his favourite sport, Quidditch.

Vanessa wondered through the back of the train, trying to find an empty compartment. She was holding to carry cases in her hands. Having her kitten, and Maxxie, her, kneazle was a little awkward now. Brushing her hair behind her ear, she pushed open a door to an empty compartment, and sat down next to the window. She was feeling kind of sad, even though she still had next term. But after that it would be over.
She shook her head, she didn't need to think about that. She sighed, smiled, and opened Maxxie's cage, she'd get her kitten out later.
"Not long now sweetie." She smiled, placing the kneazle onto her lap, and rubbing his ears.

Ella dragged herself inside the compartment. It was unusal of her. Usually she preferred the front side compartment, but not this time. She was sad and exhausted. For her luck she found a window seat even in such a crowded situation. She sat down silently, looking out of the window, thinking of her friends, and..and..Jack. She desperately wanted to see him, to say atleast a proper goodbye. Her first love and prolly the last.

He stood infront of her,she couldnt see him,but she could see her.She wasnt paying attention.The expression on his face made his heart ache.He sighed and leaned against the door frame of the compartment.He didnt care that there was people in the compartment with them.He couldnt care less."Angels arnt meant to look sad"he said to him,his hands in his pockets,looking at her softly.She was so beautiful .. even when she was sad

She wondered if it was real, his voice or was she just dreaming about him and hearing his voice?! But her instincts were reacted faster than her confused brain. Ella's head turned automatically towards the familiar voice. She had to rub her eyes to confirm she was not dreaming. He was real, standing there and talking to her like a greek god. Omg.. "Jack!!" she sprang up from the seat, threw herself into him, "Jack! I thought i would never see you again.." her voice was struggling.

So now, Miles decided to swiftly move on to the back of the train. Now that all of his things were packed and put into the lugage car, he thought it be a good idea to look for Vannie somewhere. They both liked the back of the train, so he went down there first.

Miles was in a bit of a huff actually. He had wanted to adopt Alan and take him home, only Alan would not be very welcome at the Parker household. His father wouldn't have been pleased, how annoying? "Vanz!" He smiled as he walked past what he had thought was an empty compartment, before looking back and smiling at her sat inside with her adopted pet. Darn. How unfair!

Vanessa smiled when she heard someone call her name, and she smiled a little bit more as she realised who it was. "Miles." She spoke, glad to see him. She noticed him glance down at the kneazle, and she frowned a little. She knew that he hadn't been able to adopt his pet, but maybe she could hold Maxxie for a little, then she could cuddle her kitten so she wouldn't feel left out. "How are you love?" She asked, as she rubbed Maxxie behind the ears.

She nodded to the seat beside her. She wanted him to sit down, so that they could enjoy the ride back home before they had to split for the summer, him going back to his father, who thought that she was a pureblooded slytherin. "Alan will still be at school when we go back." She assured him with a smile.

"Exxxcuuuseee me- coming through."

"Hoot."

Clang.

Bang.

"Omph! Hey watch the cage!" Aggie paused outside in the train hallway to make sure that Jeeves was ok. The little Scops owl had just been banged around pretty good thanks to a rather burly Hufflepuff. He ruffled his feathers unhappily and hooted at her again to voice is unhappiness for being confined to his cage for the trip home. "Don't look at me like that. Rules are rules and we have to follow the rules even if the rules aren't the best rules ever." She paused. Wow - that was a lot of rules.

Tobi's muffled voice slipped through a crack in the door to the compartment that housed a plethora of people. So that's where the bum scurried off to? she thought herself as she hoisted Jeeve's cage up a little higher. She opened the door and stuck her head in.

"Tobi Avalon," Jeeves hooted a hello. "I thought you were going to wait for me on the platform?"

Barry had done the usual dumped his stuff let out his owl and he let his cat run ahead of him. It was happy to be spending time with its owner again, but of cource it just liked noise. Which was weird for a cat. It ran in frount of the compartment which was full.

He picked up his cat and stroked before opening the door to the compartment "Hey" he said his face lighting up. Almost everyone who was popular in the school was her. Buetiful Celadine Toussaint, Weird Plymouth Morgan, Defensive Kayla , Abandoned Anna, Loud Tobi, Snogger Copernicus and the fashion slytherin girl. "Do you mind if I si.." no there were no seats " Err.. stand here?"

Looking at Tobi he asked "Tobi, I hope you don`t mind me asking, but what do you plan to do now after hogwarts?" He had to know, he may never see Tobi Avalon ever again.

Jack couldnt help but smile at her shocked and so sweet expression.It was like he hadnt seen his one and only in such a long time,it felt like they were just meeting again.Something that he hated.She ran up to him,and threw herself on him,and being Jack,picked her up in his arms.Jack felt a lump in his throat appear."Its not over til I say its over.."he said,stroking her hair out of her eyes.He could see she was struggling with this."And its never going to be over."he said,smiling,though he was dying inside."I dont like it when my angels sad.."he whispered to her.

Lima could tell that rose was feeling a bit put out, but didn't say anything. She just turned her gaze to Liz for a moment before her attention was brought back to Rose when she replied. "Paris is a beautiful city filled with wonder Frenchmen." She nodded and thought of Jacques, who she planned to meet up with when she got there. And when she was done with her tour. "And I promise never to call you that," she said placing her hand before her heart then snorting. Then noticing the look of confusion, she decided to clarify, Amanda is - or was - a Third Year, and she has a successful music career. And I have a band that I formed this Term, and we are going to open for Amanda on her world Tour." She nodded excitedly.

Then Rose said that she was going to step out for a few. Lima could definitely understand that. It was rather stuffy in there. "Alright, see you soon," she said smiling.

She smiled and said, "that's true." Then she wondered.. "Do you have any plans for the summer? Besides maybe a party?" Then she nodded. She almost forgot that Liz was going to be going into 7th Year. "Good luck with the NEWTs," she added, smiling.

"Yeah, I'm so excited. We are going to Canada, the US, Mexico and a few places in Europe." She was getting so excited to travel. She would have to take her camera and take pictures of the beautiful scenery and landmarks. If she had time for proper tours between concerts, of course.

She frowned when he ignored her. "Fine, but I want my hug, Jake. And I'm going to get it." It was a bit of an empty threat, but she was still going to try to get him to hug her at least once before she got off the train. "And I'm sure he's a nice man," she added smiling at him as he stared out the window. True, she like had no idea if he was or not, but she wanted to reassure Jake. Plus, the fact that he was willing to take Jake in spoke in his favor.

She then laughed. "Cute. I didn't even know that she had a tarantula." It was weird and a bit interesting to think of tarantulas getting pregnant and having babies. Though she was pretty sure that she would never want one as a pet.

Jake sat looking out the window watching everything fly by. "I wonder how its going to be when I get home" he thought. He was still worried about that and didnt want another summer like the last one. He sigh and removed his head from the window, he layed back on the seat closing his eyes. "Im not going to lose touch with her this time" he said as his thoughts changed to Amy, she wont be back next term and he was already missing her. He felt a small smile creep up on his face at thoughts of everything they did and went through this term, with the fighting over Asthon and her ex, trying to find out what happend to her dad and her dreams. That they never did solve but he'll still try if she wanted him to. With his eyes still close and a small smile on his lips he let thoughts of her fill his mind and erase all worries "she usually shows up when I think of her"

Amy had been talking with some friends, but could not take the pain in her chest any longer. As she walked down the train toward the back she peeked in each compartment looking for him. At last she came to a compartment that was occupied by one boy sitting in the seat with his eyes closed. Luckily the door was open allowing Amy to lean up against the door frame watching him quietly. She noticed the smile on his face and wondered what he was thinking about to make him look so happy. Because at the particular moment she felt like her heart was breaking into a million pieces. She let out a small sigh as she started to walk toward him. “ Hi there, “ she managed to say in a cheerful voice.

Chalice walked around the back of the train. She found Jake alone in a compartment. She opened the door and said, "Hey Jake!!! Hey Amy!!! Do you mind if I sit in this compartment?" She knew this must be hard for them, Amy was done with school and Jake wasn't.

Jake heard her sigh before she said hi, the smile he wore leaving his face. "Hey" he said opening his eyes looking towards her. "I was just thinking about you and everything we did this term" he told her a sad smile on his face again. She sounded cheerfull but he could tell by her eyes that she wasnt "come here" he told her patting the seat next to him. He place on arm around her when she sat pulling her in for a hug " Im not going to let us lose touch this time Amy" he whispered to her his earlier thoughts. He held on to her a bit longer not wanting to let her go, his heart feeling like it weight a ton inside his chest, he didnt know this was going to be so hard. "Im really am going to miss you showing up everytime I think of you"

Jake looked up at Chalice, she always reminded him of a bubble of energy or something, she always seemed full of energy to him. "Hey, I guess not, we could use some cheering up" he told her.

As Amy set beside Jake, wrapped in his arms, she could feel the pieces falling one at a time and she could not help but to shudder as warm liquid filled her eyes. She willed herself not to cry as she leaned down placing her head on his shoulder. “I hope not,” she managed to choke out as a response to what he told her about losing touch. Then as he mentioned missing her showing up she could only nod.

Then Amy looked up to see a girl coming in the compartment. "Umm. Hi," Amy said looking at some girl she had never meet. She glanced over at Jake who seemed to know her, Oh that probably how she knows my name- she thought to herself.
