A small smile played on his lips, as he nodded. "I know. You live with Savannah, correct?" He questioned, giving A wink. Naturally, Kyler would just rant on about anything. You would think Teagen wouldn't listen, and just give A nod or so it make it look it. He actually would rather know what was going on.

And when the bat squeaked at him, he gave A small startled jump. And Frebreeze, breezy poked her paw out of the pocket and waved it around rather quick, as if she was telling the squeaking animal to shoo.

"America is very nice, yes." Teagen commented, with A nod. "Though I wish they would try and keep it A little cleaner." Some places around there.. Gesh. It was like A dump hole. No one really cared, they just threw thier trash on the ground.

And she asked if he wanted to hold the bat, and Teage shook his head quickly. "It's quite alright, dear." Who knew where that things been, or if she even kepted it clean.

And her next words had him questioning, as green eyes poured into his own electric blue. "Now, why weren't you yourself?" Not that he was being nosey, just curious.

"Oh, Nat. Of course she would be. She just found you and now you're leaving again." Spence remembered the day when she had come in looking for Zanna with Via and had found a whole new family member. Not to mention, Via's long lost sister. She answered Via's question simply, "Of course."

"Silly me to ask that to you," she sighed. "Sorry, i was still a bit hyper about the events on the past few days." Via glanced at the window and still many other students were outside trying to wave goodbye to their families. "The summer had passed so quickly, i didn't even noticed it's over," she said.

"Same here. But I'm glad it did. Now I get to go to Hogwarts. Spence wouldn't show it but she was scared. Scared that everything would go wrong and leave her alone with only her non-magic loving parents. Leave her without all the awesome family she had now just gotten to know. Spence smiled over-brightly. "This year will be awesome. I know it."

Claire walked down the front of the train. She was sooo excited about going to Hogwarts but she only wished that she knew more of the people that she would be going to school with.

Oh well there was always time for that. She continued walking down the corridor looking in the windows of the compartments looking for somewhere to sit.

Via nodded happily, "Yes," she said with a grin on her face, "Now that we're together. No one of us is going to be alone nor left behind." She was really grateful she had found a cousin like her. "I'm gonna owl Dad and Nat as soon as we arrive."

Spence did a sigh of relief at that. "Do you have your own owl? If not, I have my owl, Artimes." Spence settled back as she sighed, "Do know how long this will take? I might get hungry."

This was neither a day of bright glorious sunshine, nor was it a dark and stormy night. No, talks of the weather come only second next to the description of the Hogwarts express, vibrant red against the smoky grey clouds. Because the truth being told, who really cared about the weather when tonight you were supposedly arriving at Hogwarts for the first time in your life? She stood in the middle of the aisle, lugging around a trunk twice the size of the average person’s. Her mother had insisted – because it was a waste of money to buy again what you’ve already got and had enough room for it in the twice-the-size-of-the-average-person’s-trunk, anyway.

Matilda Adele Dem Mc’nuland was as crippled by nervousness as a first year could possibly get. Although, on the contrary of a normal first year in their right mind (whom would think, “I’m going to Hogwarts!”) Matilda Mc’nuland was not in her right mind, as hers were muddled with thoughts of “I don’t want to go to school! I want to go HOME!” And she was perfectly still in the middle of the aisle, looking gruff and gloomy and couldn’t bother to take a step and find lodging in a compartment. Though she knew she would have to sooner or later (probably later). But right now, she concentrated on not bursting out into a stream of cursing and vulgar language, remembering to breath threw her nose. She was so railed up that if a person jostled her by accident, there was no doubt she would do just that.

As Gabriel made his way to the front of the train he saw that a girl was just standing in the middle of the aisle. He of course couldn't see the expression on her facing seeing as how he was approaching her from behind. In any event, he couldn't get around her. "E-excuse me please." He said softly and politely looking at the girl. "I'm sorry to bother you...it's just...I can't get past..." Ivory gave a small silent hoot as if to agree with him.

Hannah Leigh ran into a compartment, thinking it was empty. Smart! She just embarrased herself in front of her crush because she was allergic to someone's perfume. Coughing? That wasn't a normal symptom of allergies. She glanced into the compartment. She saw a sixth year and another person.
"Oh, sorry, I thought this was empty..." her voice trailed off.

Just because she was silent did not mean she was not swearing like a raving psychotic lunatic that could only exist in the world of her private conscience. Matilda turned slowly, facing the boy that had so politely asked her to get out of the way. She was about to give the stranger a most ferocious glare but found she was too distracted and maybe a little bit distressed to do that. “The stupid thing is in the way, not me.” She grumbled, tugging at the trunk. “Climb over it if you want to get past.”

Kait held on to her kitten as the door opened. A girl had come in, she looked younger than her, and she didn't reconize her. 'It's okay, you can stay if you want. I'm Kaitlynn Hayman, but it's just Kait.'

Gabe looked down at the abnormally large trunk then looked back up at the girl. "Would you like some help? I could help you with your trunk.." He said softly taking note of distraught tone. "I'm Gabriel by the way. Gabriel Walker."

"Thanks! I'm Hannah Leigh James." She smiled. "I don't really have any nicknames. Nice cat!" she noticed the ball of fur on Kait's lap. "Mine's already at school. His name is Hamlet. I also have an owl named Ophelia." she laughed. "I went with the whole Shakesperean theme."

'How is it already at school?' Kait asked the girl. 'My kitten's name is Esmeralda, and my owl SnowFlake is in the corner sleeping.' She sat in silence for a few minutes then asked, 'What year are you in?'

“I don’t need help,” Matilda snapped, though she felt it was really unfair to take out her anger on someone she barely knew and instantly felt guilty. “Gah!” she said pulling the luggage closer and had half the mind to throw it out the window and climb after it, because it would mean missing the train and going home… The thought of dying in attempt never really occurred to her, let alone getting killed by her parents when they find out she wasted a costly ticket.

“Useless thing,” she said with irritation. Matilda shoved the trunk against the side and jerked it upwards to make a space, wide enough for a person to fit through. “Hurry up, Mister Gabriel Walker, or I’ll drop this on your toe.”

Somehow, in all the shuffling at the station, Copernicus had managed to give his father a handshake, ducked away from Plymouth's mother and her desire to kiss his cheek in public, and make it onto the train... without Plymouth. It wasn't ideal to be here cramming his trunk into the first empty car he found, but it gave Plymouth a chance to make more friends and Copernicus could catch up on his reading. He pulled out a book and flipped through it idly.

"Long story short, we sent him to the school because he's not a good traveler." she grinnned. "Cute names! I'm a third year Ravenclaw."

Kait had been close, she'd figured that she was a forth year. 'I'm sixth year, in Hufflepuff,' she told her. She got up from her seat and walked over to her trunk. She opened the lid and began rummaging around for her robes.

Expertly navigating the throng of people scattered throughout the aisleway, the fifth year Greek boy did not lose his stride, each step measured perfectly. Stepping around Matilda and her luggage, Helios would have offered to help, but was under the impression she wouldn't accept it.

Elsewhere an owl more accustomed to burrowing than flying, hopped on one long leg into a compartment. Rotating it's head clockwise one eighty degrees, her big brown eyes looked at miss Krissy Moon. After a moment of contemplation, the robin sized bird flittered atop the Gryffindors knee, presenting the letter in it's small beak which simply read.

Hello

Seeing that most of the other prefects had left their designated compartment and ventured elsewhere in the train, Anna decided to do the same. She wasn't quite sure where she was headed, but the snack cart sounded like a pretty good place to go. Chocolate frogs...jelly slugs...those were the things a train ride to school was made for! Well, not exactly, but they sure made the ride a lot more enjoyable! Anna passed by a few of the compartments in the front of the train, instinctively glancing inside each one as part of her prefect duties. It occured to her that most students usually tried to sit in the same place each train ride. Anna couldn't remember ever having a favorite compartment, though. She'd just always sat in a compartment full of people she could chat with.

Anna sighed and peeked her head into the next compartment, immediately spotting Plymouth's brother sitting all by himself flipping through a book. Shrugging slightly, as if to ask herself, "Why not?", Anna slid the compartment door open and headed inside. She wasn't one to wait to be asked to sit down, so she plopped down on a seat opposite Copernicus and just watched him continue flipping. She wasn't quite sure what to say to him. He didn't seem like the type that cared much for mere chats. Perhaps she should ask him about his book then. "So what's on our reading list for the day?" she simply asked. She said no more, though. Simplicity was enough for now.

"Cool." Hannah nodded. What could she say? I just embarrassed myself in front of my crush that I think might like me? No, definetly not. The loud silence hurt Hannah's ears-she was used to loudness-and she was forced to say something. Something that she would regret.
"I really like this guy and I just embarrassed myself in front of him and I'm sad because there's a chance he might like me back." she rambled.

Krissy looked at the owl and sighed. "ello penopates." she mumbled feeding the bird an owl treat from her robe pocket. Pulling out a muggle pen she wrote back in her neat script.
Hello. I'm sure you're still in the forest. I will see you at school. I have your supplies as always. For now I sit on the train waiting to be home once again.
she tied the note back to the owls leg and sent her off. Helios had been sending her owls weekly for the last month. She wasn't sure she could handle seeing the boy again, yet still she cared... more tears welled in her eyes.

"A Compendium Guide to Every Charm Ever Spelled," Copernicus had heard her come in and dared to glance her way, but now his attention was on the book as his ears turned red. "I thought it would make a good reference, but I'm finding it woefully inadequate. What sort of guide doesn't even include the basics such as Innie-outie or the Mushmouth Charm? Although I suppose the latter is really more of a jinx and not suitable..." Merlin, he was PRATTLING on like an old aunt.

Miles watched, and couldn't help but smile as Evolette's cat pounced out of her bag like he came out of nowhere. He sat back, and rested his arm along the back rest of the long seat. Eve seemed much more calmer now, which made him feel more relaxed, he didn't have to be all tense now, but of course, still watched what he said, just incase.

"Summer was good." He wondered if he should talk about Paris, he might accidentally begin to talk NON-STOP, and what if she lashed out with something like 'Well we all haven't been to Paris have we!' He wouldn't be happy with that. "Went to Paris with school friends." He mumbled and shrugged. "And you?"
