"It's first year revenge..." Jake smiled evilly. "You'll soon find out."

"Why did you almost get expelled?" Jake giggled. "I got expelled, sort of."

Ooh, toughie.

"My family were all Slytherins, but I don't live with them anymore, so I'm entirely indifferent to where I go."

Shut up with the long words, Jake. You sound like an old man.

Jake turned slowly to look at Cameron.

"Are you the same guy who tried to make me do illegal magic with-" STOP! FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS CHEESY! Jake didn't wan't to breach that painful topic yet. He hadn't told Cameron he wasn't planning on going back there after the term.

"Just..." Jake sighed, afraid that Cameron would go insane or, worse, tell the girls their plan. "Keep your mouth firmly shut." He turned to the girls. "I don't know why you're making such a big deal out of it..." Jake tried playing it down. "It's not like we're putting dungbombs in his luggage." Jake shrugged.

No, it's not like that... it IS that.

"Almost expelled? How did you manage that?" she said. "But I sitll disagree. If you only knew the things I did in my first year."
"Come on! I can soo keep a secret please?!" she begged. "You would be my bestest friend!" She really wanted to know what they were planning on this Dominic kid. And she wasn't going to stop begging until she knew.
Now Allie was confused. What were they talking about? And whatever they were planning sounded like it would get them in a lot of trouble.
"Okay..I want an explanation now!"

Leeroy walked to the back of the train. He was still overwhelmed by it all. In his pocket was a copy of Quidditch Through the Ages that he hadn't been able to read yet. He was still trying to find out what this Quidditch thing was. He heard commotion and looked up. Seeing someone that looked to be around his age he walked over. "Excuse me, what are dung bombs?" Whatever they were they sounded fun.

Cadence had left her compartment and was walking along the train again when she heard a boy about her age say something about dungboms. Dungboms? No one's got any have they? We're not supposed to have those at Hogwarts, I don't think. You'll get in trouble!

Leeroy shrugged. "I don't know. I just heard someone say that and wanted to know what it was." He smiled at her, the first person to talk to him in this wierd place. "I'm Leeroy by the way."

Jake looked up, thoroughly irritated.

"Excuse me," he snapped. "But we are having a private conversation here. And for your information, no we won't have Dungbombs at Hogwarts. Good day," and with that he snapped the compartment door shut again.

They'll be long gone before we get to Hogwarts.

Well, that was quite rude of him. She turned back to Leeroy. Hello, I'm Cadence! And dungboms, well, do you know what the muggles call stink bombs? Well, they're sort of like those except they smell of dung instead of rotten eggs. I'm half and half. So, I've lived a pretty muggle life so far (my father's idea), but my mum has told me loads about Hogwarts and the wizarding world. I think I'm really lucky to get to experience both worlds. Cadence smiled at Leeroy. Another new friend! She was quite excited that making friends was so easy for her.

Jake was absolutely right, a 1st year's revenge. And that was a good thing about being a 1st year. He gave a confused face to him about the illegal magic and then stopped. What was all that about? Cam was still afraid, very afraid at all of this. It was a risk they decided to take though and he wasn't going to deny this plan. He was almost about to elbow Jake in the ribs once he stated their plan, weren't they suppose to keep this quiet? Keeping on a straight face towards Allie, he just sat there like a strange person would do.

"I, uh... I don't know what you're talking about," he said and acted as though he was confused.

"Well,I usually don't like to talk about the expelling thing,but...In my first year,Me and my friend Alex stole some potion and the Headmistress found out,"Reese said."I was almost expelled.It was scary."She glanced t Allie and smiled. "So,what makes your first year more special than mine?"She slightly raised her eyebrows.

Allie crossed her arms. She was tired of them talking about this great firstie revenge plan. She wanted to know what was going on, and she wanted to know NOW!
"I've had enough of you guys lying to me. Whats up with this illeagal magic? That will get you expelled before you even get sorted. So just tell me what your planning to do, and I will tell you if you can get away with nothing more than a detention...or if its completly idiotic, and you could get expelled."


"Oh you know, the normal firsite stuff, get sorted, goto classes, get a letter from secret order that helped bring back Hogwarts." she said, nonchanlantly. "You know, the usual stuff."
SHe hadn't told anyone about those letters but the people who had gotton the letters, and Anna of course, but she figured the whole thing was over now..so it didn't matter...plus the whole school probably foudn out about them last year with the giant treasure hunt.

Trey peeked through the window of the compartments as he walked by looking for someone he knew. He thought he had heard some guitar playing and singing earlier coming from a few carts up, and sure enough he saw Amanda with her guitar out.

"Hey gang," he said to Amanda and the person she was talking to as he entered the cart. She was unwrapping a chocolate frog at the moment and it looked very delicious. Trey hadn't eaten yet and didn't feel like heading up to the snack cart just yet. He had half a mind to just steal a bite!

Prada looked up when Willow said she was beautiful, she gave her a little bow. Paris clapped her hands. She was teaching Prada words and she was understand a lot of them. "Don't give her a big head." Paris giggled. Paris loved her monkey, it was the best present her dad had ever given her, well except for her laboratory. Prada nodded and gently touched Godzilla she drew her hand back with the ickle lizard started to change colors. "Come to mommy," Paris said before Prada picked up Godzilla and tried to bang him about to see how he worked. "She doesn't eat meat Willow and shes gentle." She pointed out to her sister. Her baby was the sweetest thing in the world and wouldn't hurt a fly.


"Yeah I was hoping she would too." Paris said softly. That was the scariest time in her life. Her mother had almost...she didn't even want to say it. It was just scary to think that her mother would never come home.

She smiled and her face softened as Willow got happy. She didn't want her sister to be upset even before they got to Hogwarts. She wanted this year to be fabulous and wonderful. "Yes well I am still the older sister and the oldest child and I have you by nine months little one." She pointed out to her. Paris took her job seriously as the older of the Greenwood children. She looked after her siblings like a parent and woe to anyone who thought of messing with one of her brothers or her sister. She had a few scores to settle at Hogwarts for the people who messed with her brother, and if she could get her hands on that viper. The healer intern who embarrassed her brother like she would rearrange that woman's face permanently. "Do you want me to stop taking care of you and being your older sister?" She asked her seriously.

She smiled she really liked him and she liked making him blush, especially when she was messing about in his hair. "Well it was love at first sight for you. I had to get a couple more looks," She said with a smirk. "Yeah but thats alright I bought another Zach Posen dress the next free weekend we had," She pointed out to him. She was upset at first, but once she looked up at him she was hooked.

She pouted when he shook his hair out from behind his ear, even though she liked it when he fell across his face. It reminded her of her daddy.

"Oh hey Trey, care to join this compartment?" Amanda asked, taking a bite of the frog. Mmm, that chocolate was so good, she needed that to relax. She put her guitar back in her case for now, and got out another owl treat for Belkin, feeding it to him.

Jake shook his head, giggling.

"I'm not lying," he smiled. And, technically, it was true. Cameron had lied, but everything that came out of Jake's mouth was true.

"Oh," he replied as if it was nothing. "The illegal magic thing. Just Cameron here and the girl I used to live went through the attic to find spellbooks to learn magic. Illegal," Jake stated. "She tried to fix something, and ended up turning the attic into an indoor carwash."

For the love of all that is good! "I told you, it's hardly anything. Stop stressing out at me!"

Honestly, that's girls for ya!

Jake turned to Cameron. "If it waits too long or escalates, you're on your own. Or at least, I won't be able to help."

Oh great, a mood swing. Down... down... down...

"Sure!" He exclaimed taking the seat next to her. The chocolate was so close and she just took a bite. It looked so good. His stomach growled a little louder. Oh man, I wonder if they heard that, he thought? "So were you guys having a jam session or what?" He asked to start up a quick conversation, a little embarrassed over his noisy stomach. "Sounded good, even from outside of the cart!" He said smiling.

"Fine." she said, glaring at both of them. "Don't tell me. I don't even care anymore."
She uncrossed her arms, and reached for her chocolate frog stash. She wuickly grabbed one, unwrapped it, and bit the head off. Whatever they were doing was none of her buisness, and if they get in trouble for it, and someone found out she knew, she would probably get in trouble too. And there was no way she was going to detention. And she never would, so why risk it with knowing?

Evolette wasn't surprised that Willow didn't like animals. That was a very Willow-like thing. She supposed she should have guessed it. "It's not a problem." she shrugged, "He's sleeping now anyway. Lazy little thing."

Nodding, she was glad that Willow had decided not to pry on her summer with Terry, which was obviously another very Willow like thing to do. Needless to say, Evolette wouldn't have sat there and gushed to Willow either. THAT was a very not Evolette like thing.

Accepting the chocolate frog from Willow, Evolette sat back in her seat, opening the wrapper slowly, "Sunny, yes I can tell, you look like you got a nice tan." she smiled, tanning was Evolette's favorite thing to do in the summer.

Mariel grinned at the two girls' reactions to the discussion of her father's wedding. It was quite obvious that they were trying to change the subject. Not that she minded, she just found it somewhat amusing. "Yeah, yeah, Sarah," Mariel rolled her eyes slightly in amusement before giggling a little along with her. "Anyway, I burned the dress, and yes," she nodded at both girls with a triumphant smile, "I can put it behind me and go away to school." She certainly felt like Hogwarts was her sanctuary and was glad to be around friends again.

Mariel looked over at Lasca as she mentioned her favorite sport. "Yes, Quidditch," she murmured with a tentative smile. She desperately wanted to play again this year and she was sure with her experience that she'd make the regular team, but did she dare disobey her father? What he doesn't know won't hurt him, she thought with the hint of a mischievous grin dancing at the corners of her mouth. Quickly composing her features, she added, "Yes, I can't wait to get back into my studies too. I'm anxious to learn some new magic too."

"My father was in Slytherin, too," she told Kevin as he mentioned his House preference. "My sisters as well, but I got sorted into Ravenclaw like my mum," she added, not remembering if she had told him which House she was in.

The young Ravenclaw stifled a laugh at Lasca's reaction to Sarah's question. "That's a popular question," she said, remembering how everyone asked her that year and also remembering that she was guilty of asking Lasca that question herself when she first met her. The girl was probably asked that by everyone she met, as was Mariel the year before. "Don't worry," she said with an impish grin, "As soon as you're sorted that question will stop only to be replaced by 'how are you enjoying Hogwarts so far' immediately following the question 'is this your first year'." Mariel chuckled at the memory of nearly every older student she came across last year asking her those two questions at first meeting and now it will be Lasca's turn.

Giving Lasca a knowing look at her last statement, Mariel turned to Sarah and nodded. "I think she's definite Ravenclaw material. She'd better be anyway," she added in good humor. "I can tell she'll be one of those big points earners. We need her help to win the House Cup this year," she said with a grin.

Bennet hwsitantly made his way onto the train. He didn't want to look scared seeing as he had just said good-bye to his mother who was still watching, and she was upset as it was. Bennet sat in a compartment by him self wishing his cousin would show up. he looked around at all the other students and wished one of the would invite him over. Then he rethought that... maybe that wouldn't be so fun. He was still mighty nervous and wasn't too used to talking to kids his own age.

Jayne was still waiting. And waiting. And more waiting. Cayden hadn't shown up yet though she couldn't techniqually be mad at him.. They hadn't planned anything about where to meet and such. So just irked maybe. She was overly-joyed though, in her own 'Jayne doesn't show such happy expressions' way, that no one had joined her. Whether it be out of an attempt at being friendly or there just being no more room... no one had come. Thanks be to Merlin.

Adrianna finally made her way to the back of the train, searching for any sort of empty place for her to sit. This, honestly, was worse than when her mother had moved and she had to go to a new school. At least there, seats had been available in plenty and she had some chance of befriending someone. Here, she might take someone's seat... or worse. She tried not to think of that. Finally, she found a place to sit. "Sorry," she said, tucking a dark blond lock of hair behind an ear. "Is that seat open?" she asked.

" It was something like that." He said with a slightly embarrassed laugh when he saw her smirking at him. " What?" he asked noticing the pouty expression he hated when she did that it made it difficult not to go along with what ever she was thinking. "It feels weird be hind my ears." he made a face as he complained. " Okay fine." he sighed and arked his hands through his hair pushing it back how she had it.

Lasca couldn't help but blush. She wasn't used to being the topic of discussion, but she was enjoying being with her friend again. She laughed at Mariel's mention of burning her dress. She burst out in a fit of laughter when her friend made light of the question she was beginning to hate.

Finally, after catching her breath she ran her fingers through her hair to mess it back into place. "Yes I am hoping to make the team." Then she gave a puzzeled look. "Points? Points for what? How do you earn these points?" She gave a mischievious grin, thankfully her friend knew her penchant for questions and the need for answers.

"Yeah we were, Chris noticed I was playing a song so he brought his guitar over and we played together." Amanda said and smiled, she suddenly heard a growling noise coming from Trey's direction. "You want a Chocolate Frog?" She asked curiously, picking up her bag and taking another Chocolate Frog out just in case.

Leeroy just looked at her. "What's a muggle and what does half and half mean? Oh and I heard this thing called Quidditch, do you know anything about that?" He looked around. "Want to find a compartment?" He saw an open one and started to shift toward it a little. "Tell me everything you know about Hogwarts." He felt dumb for not knowing what everyone else did, but she didn't seem like she'd make fun of him.
