Front of the Train
 

The driver and snack lady sit up front in the driver's cab, but there are plenty of other compartments up here. Prefects have their very own!

Rian sighed as she lugged her pet carrier onto the train. Both her kitten and her crup were in it, and it was quite heavy, but she wasn't using magic to levitate it. She'd have to get used to not using magic to do every little thing...

Aha! She smiled, relieved, when she found an empty compartment. After setting the carrier down, she sat down on the seat, stretching her legs out before her so that she was leaning against the window. Hopefully her friends would be able to find her...

Sneeze decided to get to Hogwarts Express early this year and not have to ride in the back. He took his owl on his head, holding his cage with his right hand, bag with the other. Sneeze lowered himself when he got into the train trying to becareful with an owl on his head. He walked and found Rian sitting in a compartment, alone. He opened the door and entered. "Hey, Rian! Ready to go home?" Sneeze put his stuff down on the floor. He couldn't believe Rian was leaving this year. He sat down next to her, and took Phantom off his head and put it on his left shoulder.

After dropping his trunk at the carriage car, he walked towards the front of the train compartments. Searching for an empty one, he could only take deep breaths, knowing that once arriving home, the place wouldn't be Sweet Home after all.

Anyone he knew...

"Not particularly," Rian murmured, bending her legs so that there was more room on the seat. "I'd like to stay at Hogwarts for as long as possible. But...all good things come to an end, I suppose," she frowned, then looked up at Sneeze. "But all endings are the start of something new...a new adventure," she smiled softly, then sat up, still sitting sideways on the seat, and crossed her legs. "What about you? Ready to go home?"

Jenn sighed loudly and quite dramatically as she walked onto the train, carrying her owl's cage, and holding onto her poor scared kitten. Looking around, she spotted the snack lady and grinned. Buying six pumpkin pasties and three chocolate frogs, which added to her load, she walked onward, her kitten meowing loudly, her owl hooting angerly, and Jenn huffing and puffing as she moved down the small corridor.

She peeked through one of the doors of the compartment and smiled. Rian...and Sneeze. It could be worse right? She walked in, quite loudly since all of her animals and herself where making noises. "Hey-huff-guys."she set the stuff down, and flung herself onto the seat. "How is every....one."she was breathing hard.

Chris walked around trying to see if he could find someone he knew. He had his guitar case on his back like normal and his hands in his pockets. He actually really looking that much for someone he was more just walking.

Freya walked almost reluctantly onto the train, this would most likely be the last time she would ever be on it, and it made her sad.

She found an empty compartment in the front of the train and set down her things, while her great grey owl, Anchor perched on his master's shoulder. Freya sat down and placed a large box on her lap, which contained her knarl that she had been caring for throughout the term. She pat the lid and let Anchor settle down nearby on the windowsill, and gazed out of the window longingly...she would miss this place very much.

"They come to an end Rian but too early..." Sneeze frowned a bit at Rian. "I'm not ready, I'll never be ready. This place is my real home. I feel like I truly belong here. I think I might even apply to become a professor just to stay here!" He joked. Then Jenn came in. "Hey, Jenn..." Sneeze said this slowly, no feeling.

Rian chuckled when Jenn came into the compartment, breathing heavily. "You alright there, Jenny?" she asked, surprising herself with the use of the nickname. "I'm good," she added, grinning.

When Rian saw Sneeze frown, she frowned again. "That is true...I can't really get myself to believe that I'm not coming back...it's sort of weird. It'll probably hit me when I get home...AND OH MY GOSH I HAVEN'T SAID GOODBYE TO EVERYONE!" Rian's eyes were wide with horror, and she fell back against the window, distressed. All her friends...she hadn't said goodbye...they'll think she's a horrible person...

Jenn shrugged. "I think so. And whats with the Jenny? Not that I mind or anything. It's kinda cute."she said, surprising herself also with the use of the word, cute. "That's good. I'm pretty good too. Just sad your leaving. You'll visit me right?"she asked, her eyes wide in concern.


Jenn was busy working on making her animals happy when Sneeze said thoose, cold, hard, words. She whipped out her wand, crimson sparks erupting in hissing noses as they flew out into the open air. "Look here Mr. Longbottom. I'm willing to put our little disscution behind us, but I'm defiantly not afraid to duel you here and now. I have very high marks in Defense against the dark arts, and I'm probably the best dueler in my year. So if your going to be Mr. Slytherin and be high and mighty, then get out! Or I'll simply have to curse you!"she screamed at him, sparks flying faster and bigger, her hair whipping around her even though there was no breeze her wand pointed straight out infront of her.

Penelope searched the train looking for someone to sit with. She hadn't seen Chris yet so she looked for Freya. She found her sitting by herself surrounded by animals, like usual.
'Hey, mind if I join?' she asked.

Freya looked up and placed the lid over her box again. "Of course I don't mind. You're my Hogwarts buddy...or, rather, you were. Now you're my graduate buddy." She still couldn't believe how quickly her time at the school had gone.

"Of course I - JENN!" Rian's eyes widened even more when her best friend in the world pulled her wand on her boyfriend. She forgot all about her moment of dispair and sat straight up, pulling out her own wand. She would cast a shield charm if need be...and why was Jenn being so freaking sensitive. "Seriously...calm down." She looked sternly at her friend, not wanting a fight to start.

Penelope smiled. Freya seemed to be rather cheerful, which was abnormal. She took a seat and made herself comfortable.
'Thanks, wow, I guess this is almost it' she said.

"It is it, at least once we get off this train. Will you be wanting to head right to the house from the station? Because I can escort you there and drop off a few things at my new residence...it's fairly close by." Freya ran a hand through her hair, which had gotten a little bit longer.

Jenn growled in frustration. Why couldn't Rian just sit down and be a good person and let Jenn teach this little....FREAK, some manners. He had no good right to be so rude to her. Why she had actually almost forgiven him. She glared angerly at Rian. "Please Rian, stay out of this...please!"she managed out of her clamped mouth. She hated it when people where so rude!

Chris walked by the compartment where Jenn, Rian and Sneeze were. He shrugged and knock on the door. Waiting to make sure it was alright for him to come in.

Penelope thought for a moment.
'Yeah, that sounds like a good idea, but I don't want to bother you' she said. That was the last thing she wanted.

Spencer walked into a compartment and sat down. She then looked around. She was going to miss Hogwarts.

Freya shook her head, "It's no bother. I was hoping to get the chance to visit before I headed off right away. Noor!" She looked down at the box where some teeth were visible. "Stop trying to escape...". Freya put on a pair of gloves and took the knarl out of her box. She was as big as a housecat now, with long, steel-hard spines. "You're so cuuuute." Freya stroked her a couple times before looking to Penelope. "Sorry, I'm kind of a freak. I'll get you all set up there too, before I head off. Maybe I'll give Jelly a proper tour too, I doubt the others know the ins and outs of everything."

Rian was surprised to see the glare Jenn was giving her, and she was surely NOT going to 'stay out of this'. Before she could stop herself, she glared back. "No, Jenn. I'm not going to let you fight with Sneeze." she shook her head firmly, having no idea what triggered Jenn's sudden temper tantrum.

Being so absorbed in her current problem, Rian didn't respond to the knock at the door. Hopefully whoever it was was a close friend, and could actually help with this confrontation.

Hayden walked through the front end of the train. Pacing was a specialty. Her owl flew through an open window and she smiled."Hey buddy." She took the letter off his leg and sighed."You know you almost missed the train. You would have had to fly home." She opend the letter and began to read. Absentmindly she kept walking.

Penelope watched Freya stroke some animal. It was quite cute when you looked at it for a while. She smiled.
'Ok, thank you, I can't wait to see the house' she said.

Finally, Emiliano found a compartment, practically fell on the seats and felt his whole heart go into pieces. What if he didn't convince his parents, how would he be able to tell Karma, Reese about it?

He reached for his backpack and took the toy ball out. He threw it up in the air and catched.
