Natasha smiled at Melanie and sat down, she then silently listened to Melanie and and and older boy talking about the idea of a Slytherpuff house. She sighed at the thought of going back home. Time seemed to have passed so quickly this year.

Rian smiled at Sneeze. She sighed, then looked back out the window. "You'll write, right?" she frowned slightly, then smiled half-heartedly. "And visit me, of course. Every break?" she smiled. She couldn't expect him to visit her that often, because surely he had other priorities. That thought made another thought come into Rian's head. What if he met another girl? ...That was only fair, she supposed, but she was suddenly filled with jealousy to whoever that girl might be. Because surely there would be another girl. Rian sighed again and grabbed Sneeze's hand.

Rose looked up as Piper's asked her if she was alright, touching her cheeks to see if she was blushing yet again, she shook her head quickly, "Ow...." She said realising her mistake, "I'm fine. Oh yes, fine" Smiling to please her she nodded once again. She laughed delightedly at the prospect of spending the summer with her, "Great! Owl me when your in my town" She said brightly. She glanced at Via with a sly smile before casually twirling her hair around her fingers. Her ear's caught on Piper's mistake and she giggled, "I'll miss you too Piper"

"My favourite Slytherin!" She said with a laugh as Reese sat down next to her, glancing back at Emiliano as he mentioned his writing she nodded slowly. He seemed a really sweet guy, and buy the looks they were giving each other there would be very little intervention needed. Maybe a Hogsmeade date...or two

She shook her head and said “Nothing.” Via continued to watch her. Of course Piper was doing fine… It just seemed like something inside the room’s affecting her. Her eyes flashed at Piper’s hair being twirled.

As Emiliano spoke Piper’s eyes sparkled. Their inside the same compartment and so she couldn’t avoid but hear what the others would say. Did Piper just say she’ll miss him? Piper corrected herself immediately and Via got the idea behind that. She simply smiled at her.

Piper and Emiliano are not supposed to come back next term... but basing upon their conversation it seems like they have agreed to return to Hogwarts. "Mind if i ask why are you not supposed to come back next term, Piper?" Via just met her and she'd love to spend next term with her.

Rose was doing the twirling thing either. And with that smile Rose had just given her she understood. "I have the feeling we're thinking of the same idea," she whispered at her. Rose caught Piper on that, i'll miss you thing and Via sniggered but she stopped herself as soon as she realised she shouldn't have done it.

"Hello Reese," Via greeted. The Slytherin have a great aura of cheerfulness.

Heavy is the head that wears the crown. Where could one find room for free will if you had a destiny to fulfill?

Robes lined with veiny wrinkles, tie hanging draped carelessly around his neck, Helios pondered such thoughts as he stalked down the aisleway. Rigid shoulders did not yield to the passing of other students, courtesy was far from his mind.

Something did give him pause. Something that made him try to focus on his anger. Anger was simple, he did not need any further complications. He was ready to pass her by when his owl hooted. The small creature that perched on his shoulder seemed to posses the wisdom to know that it was best not to let ones blood boil unwatched.

Krissy looked up from her maps at the sound of an owl hooting. "What is it river?" she assumed her Owl was already tired of her cage but when she glanced at the door she realized it was Helios' owl. "Oh hello then... so they let yeh out of detention did they? Why are yeh here, aren't yeh supposed to go risk yer life for no good reason?" Krissy tried to sound bitter and angry that he had never shown up for their date at the lake, but it was impossible to miss her eyes sparkling and the flush to her cheeks when she saw the young prince.

"I am going back to London. I want to stop by Nocturne alley before I go home." Not quite rude, the prince stated his words matter-of-factly. He didn't expect Krissy to understand him, his actions left little to understand, only to accept.

Balancing on one leg, Panoptes bobbed her head up and down, obviously curious about how her prince would handle this situation.

Krissy tried to act uninterested but couldn't hide her concern. "What on earth could yeh need from that seedy underground?" then the rest of the sentence hit her. "Wait... Yeh are going...home?" Her voice cracked. Helios had always said the next time he went to his Island he was there to stay. Moving the maps over she patted the seat next to her. "Tell me what is going on, yeh owe that to me atleast." staring at him her blue eyes bore into his soul.

"I owe you?.." The boy muttered, but thought better of pressing further. "I am tired of being treated like a leper. I understand that I am different than you Europeans...This though.." Wanting to walk away, Helios refused the seat offered to him, but he did step closer.

Arms folded over his chest, his wound was obvious, it was his pride that suffered. "I just don't understand."

Krissy looked hurt. "Us Europeans? Last I checked I always treated you with respect...and love." she whispered the last part. "I don't understand why yeh expect people to treat yeh special. Yes, yeh are royalty, but here yeh are just another dumb kid. back home I am the ruler of people more than three times me age, but at school I still need to study, do me homework and mind me tongue when talking to professors..." she knew she was crossing a line, but Helios had as well. "I was looking forward to atleast one more year with yeh, but I understand...yeh are a coward. If yeh wanted to act like a real man...like a leader, yeh would stick it out. Life isn't always pleasant and it sure as hell isn't easy...it jest is." her breathing was labored she was working herself into a frenzy. She couldn't believe he was just giving up. The thought of never seeing him again couldn't make her hold her tongue. If she stopped for even a moment the rage would drain and she would burst into tears.

Helios stared at Krissy for a long moment. Surprised by and admiring her attitude. He wasn't in the mood though. Sighing, he finally took a seat, as if it had nothing to do with her offer.

"I tried. What else do you want from me?"

Helios wasn't even supposed to leave Aeaea. Every minute he spent at Hogwarts was on borrowed time. Couldn't she appreciate that? He may be crude and rude, but the kindness that lurked beneath, that was all for her.

Lizzie grinned a bit as she slowly stroke Zara's head. Just glad to help she mumbled before putting Zara on top of the cage and get up. I'll just see whether the food trolley's headed this way anytime soon she assured Marcus and popped her head out through the compartment door...

...She didn't see a trolley, but a very familiar face appeared in the crowded corridor. Je...! she started, but was interrupted by Jesse starting to talk to Jenn, Sneeze and a girl she thought was named Rian or something. Instead of interupting them she waved at Jesse before returning into the compartment and sitting down. No food trolley so far she smiled at Marcus.

"Don't worry, Rian, I'll write. And visit you every break. Between you and me my parents aren't always thrilled when I come back." Sneeze joked. He would terribly miss Rian and he might actually have to settle on Jenn as a friend. With that thought aside, Sneeze didn't know what he was going to do at Hogwarts. He might actually get some homework done. Maybe he could try out to be in the quidditch team, to keep his mind off Rian. Sneeze somehow knew next year would be rough, and he have to meet some more friends...

Ana was still looking for the food troley when she saw Melanie in the corridors. She ran to her yelling "Lanie!!" she stopped "There you are! I've been looking for you!" she smiled.

Ana stopped 5 seconds to recover from the ran. "The term passed so fast" she said and sighed. "Oh, do you know something? I adopted my creature from CoMC class!" she said

Emiliano's head lowered a bit while Piper spoke, instantly putting it up again when she mentioned she was going to miss him? Whoa...then, she corrected herself. "I'd know I'll miss you guys really much if I leave so, I'm going to do the best I can to come back next term..." He answered and looked around the compartment. It felt great to be around friends.

"Hello, Reese..how have you been?" Emiliano asked with quite interest. It had been quite a week and had no time to talk to her.

Thoughtful...that was the expression Rose had when Reese entered the compartment and way before that had happened. What was she up to? And then, whispering...just what he needed. This was getting a bit off control...maybe.

Piper smiled at Rose as touched her cheeks, and giggled slightly.. "I'm glad you are good! I was jsut making sure, you were acting a bit odd." Piper said with a smile, Rose was known for her matchmaking. Piper's eyes went a bit wide and flew to the only boy in their compartment. Oh surely not her and Em? She thought to herself with a shake of her head. He has too many fan girls, he would never look at me. Piper thought as she looked at Rose. "Yes!! It will be super fun to spend some time with you! And I'll owl you! I do want to hang out this summer.." She said with a smile.
Piper looked for a second at Via before responding. " I uh.. well. i have been so unhappy at Hogwarts, not to mention I have had my heart broken quite a few times while I was there. I didn't want it to continue. No one sees me, I'm invisible most of the time." Piper's eyes grew sad as she spoke.
Piper was glad Emiliano didn't comment on her saying she would miss him. "I hope you do get to come back next term. Will you owl me this summer when you know?" Piper asked him, as she watched him greet Reese. Seee..she told herself He could never see me. She said watching him as he looked at the Slytherin. She sunk back onto her chair,eyes downcast and her hands laying forlornly in her lap. Maybe I should have gone and sat by myself? she wondered idly.. But then as she glanced up at Em, her heart jumped and she felt slightly lighter. What was going on with her?

Jane was still lost in the song. Only after a moment of silence that she realised, Chris finished his song and was raising an eyebrow at her. Bulgaria for real? But.. he doesn't look Bulgarian. Jane felt a sudden sadness following her thoughts. Chris was to go back home for the summer, and she was to not see him for a few MONTHS! And she wouldn't know if he will be back next term. She looked back at him and smiled.

"May I borrow your guitar for a moment? I'd like to play you something," Jane could only think of that song Philip played for her.

Shana smiled and looked up at him.Then by the time me and Sylvia become good friends,she'll have to leave too.She frowned and looked up at the too girls entering.ermm Hi ? she said sort of confused whether she was meant to say Hi or not.


Shana beamed.Yeah and Im glad! cause thats why your my best friend! she beamed,she leaned against Miles' shoulder and glared at Mel's cat who was currently sitting on top of theirs head.You make one move,or poop or puke on anyone and I will muder you.she thought as she glared at the Cat.

Chris watched Jane for a little bit after she didn't answer him. But then she looked sort of sad? "You alright?" He asked and cocked his head to the side slightly.

"Umm yeah sure." He said and took the guitar off over his shoulder. He handed it to Jane. "Just don't break it or scratch or anything like that." He told her and winked letting her knew he was just teasing her.

Lima was making her way through the front of to train, peeking in compartments to see if there were any of her friends around. People that she would have to give big squishy goodbye hugs too. Sniffle. She hated saying goodbyes. She wished that no one ever had to say goodbyes. Goodbyes should be banned.

She was just thinking of how she might possibly set out about doing that when she suddenly heard Hugo's voice yelling somewhere nearby. She smiled and immediately set out looking for him.

She finally found him at the very Front of the train and peeked her head in his compartment. "I want to sit with Hugie," she told him as she walked in the compartment. She headed over to him and took a seat beside him.

Rian half-smiled. "Well, you're always welcome at my house," she smiled more genuinely as Cali started purring. She didn't know what to say now, so she just sat quietly. She sighed as she thought about what she would do at her house. At least with Lily, nothing ever got boring. She smiled to herself as she opened another chocolate frog.

"That's nice to know, but you know that I'll barge in anyways." Sneeze laughed. Things were happening too fast, no time to think. What happened if he met another girl at Hogwarts. Wait, remember who you're talking about. The possibilites of that happening were small. "You better visit my place this summer. Not during the year, I won't be there." Man, how was he going to do this! The past three years have been this exciting because of Rian. And taking that away was like taking magic away from a wizard.

This time, Rian grinned. "Can't say that doesn't surprise me," she said with a chuckle. "And I'll definitely visit," she said with a laugh. "Whether you want me to or not." she grinned, then popped the chocolate frog into her mouth.

"Yeah. I'm ready for that." Sneeze smiled at Rians comment. He tried to think of something he could do to be together. He could drop out of Hogwarts. "I could drop out of Hogwarts." He whispered accidently. Oh, no! He hoped that Rian didn't hear that. Sneeze took his owl and stroked it.

Rian's eyes popped open wide. She hoped she'd heard Sneeze wrong, but she was pretty sure she hadn't. Her jaw dropped, and she stared at him like he'd grown another head. "You can't do that." she said, her voice quiet from her surprise. "Not because of me. You're going to be in your fourth year...that means there's only four years left. You can't drop out because of me." her eyes had gained a horror-struck look to them, and her mouth was still open, even after she'd finished talking.
