Reed walked out to the back of the train. This was it, he was going to Hogwarts. He looked around to see if he saw anyone that he knew, but there wasn't anyone to be seen. He looked through the windows of the compartments and looked to see if he saw an empty one. Once he finally found one he opened the door and walked in, setting his things down. He sat down and put his feet up on the seat and waited until they arrived at Hogwarts.

Brandon Black peared into compartments, wondering where to sit. He didn't really know anybody, so he decided to sit in an empty compartment. He felt nervous about attending Hogwarts after 3 years at Durmstrang and nervously glanced at the platform through the window.

"Hello." she could tell he was confused. "So if you didn't hear me, I was saying I didn't know anybody in my house and year."
ooc: I have to go for about six minutes, I'll be back....

Giving the girl a little smile he said Yeah sure i get it. I'm kinda new here but.. Now knowing what he was gonna say he silent, not sure how he'd gotten into this situation. He quickly turned to Lizzie, saying I'll just go send this with an owl to mum, you want me to tell her to say something to your parents? He added a little P.S. with "Lizzie says hi" and left the compartment.

ooc: sry have to go to bed

As soon as the boy said he didn't mind, Allie took a seat across from him.
"Hi, I'm Allie." she said with a little wave. "Are you new at Hogwarts? I havent seen you aroudn before."

Mari nodded. " I know how she feels," She said airily, and she was being honest for the most part. Mariska liked attention, from boys mostly, but she liked it in all its forms.. However, she had gotten a lesson in that last term, and resolved to be less attention seeking this term.

She gave Elizabeth a quizzical look as the other girl spoke again and she looked slightly uncomfortable. " If it's because of me, I'm sorry. I didn't mean for anyone else to get involved in my issues with her. But I am resolving to close said issues once and for all, if I can." She said honestly, shaking her foot a bit as she sat. She looked between Robert and Elizabeth as the blond gave him a look; Interesting. " This is true," She said with a quiet little smile. " I can't wait to see what the new Professors are like...although, again, as you say it will be odd without Asteira." She sighed a bit as she thought of her friend back in France." Yes, there's plenty to stay busy with in France," She said, remembering her old school and how much trouble she had gotten into there. " But, that's life for you, always unpredictable." She watched as Robert played with Bella, momentarily absorbed in that for a time.
Mari smiled as Robert replied to her statement about trying to be unnoticeable and she nudged him lightly. " What's that supposed to mean?" She said, teasing him a little. " Indeed. I've seen her live up to that very description." She said with an arched brow at the little feline. Just then though more interesting tidbits fell forth from her friends. " What happened? Did Kayla say something to both of you?" She asked, her gaze moving between the two as she spoke. " About me? " She added, feeling a bit guilty again as she was beginning to suspect her friendship was getting people in trouble.

ooc: Good night!
"Yes, do you know any Ravens in our grade?" she asked him.

Paris walked down the length of the train looking for an empty compartment. She waived at the windows that contained friends. She wanted to be alone, well not alone just not in a crowded compartment. She found the last compartment empty and she walked inside and flopped down on the chair hoping Xander or Willow would find her.

She looked out her window and saw Xander and his mum fussing about his hair. She knocked on the glass to get his attention. She waved happily at him and his mother.

Willow somehow managed to make it back to her compartment, without being squished to death by all the massive students, to find her sister sitting there. What were the chances of that? She smiled brightly and opened the door, closing it behind her. “I see you found, Godzilla.” She chuckled, pointing at the tank under the seat containing her chameleon. “I've just been to the snack cart but I only got one pasty. Wanna share it?” she offered. She plonked herself down opposite her sister and looked out the window wondering how far away Hogwarts was.

Out of all of the others, a small boy stood out from the rest. It wasn't because of his midget-ness but because of the closed jar that he held in his hands. There were several black dots inside of it, since it was frogspawn. He was lucky to be able to buy them from this creep he met in the muggle world. Not only the jar he brought but his luggage and his three pygmy puff. Cam knew that he was late in going inside of the train since there were already a lot of people there already. And he was still wearing his muggle clothes, figuring out that he'll just change later. Walking compartment to compartment he hastily looked to find a one that was empty or with any of the people he knew in it. Blehhhh, I didn't think Hogwarts has this many students.

Cam spotted Jake and he was talking with a girl he didn't know of. He opened the compartment and sat next to Jake, uninvited. And right next to him, he laid the cages of his pygmy puffs. "Hiya Jake! And who are you?" he said and held up the jar of frogspawn to Jake and looked back at the girl.

Elizabeth started to feel bad when Mari assumed her problem with Kayla had to do with the whole Nicholai thing, and spoke up, her eyes wide. "No. I mean, she had seemed to get past that after I told her that I wasn't going to immediately hate her because of everything, when she saw me with you," she said to the other girl, worried about any misinterpretation. "But closing those issues is definitely a good idea, if just so the next couple terms aren't completely horrible. Especially since Kayla's a prefect now." She trailed off as she saw Mari look between her and Robert with a strange look on her face, like she was analyzing something. But she shook it off as the topic changed again, and smiled. "Yeah. Do you even know how many new professors we're supposed to be getting this term? Because I don't think Rae had made it clear when she announced her departure, and said others were leaving too. And, speaking of which, I wonder who the new headmaster or headmistress is going to be, too."

She remained quiet as Mari spoke of Asteira again, almost wistfully. It was hard for her, since she hadn't really been able to spend a lot of time with Asteira or Mari last term, and then there was the time when Asteira wouldn't even talk to her. She was glad they'd resolved that, but it didn't make her feel any better about last term. "Wouldn't it be boring if life was predictable?," she asked airily, trying to disguise her quiet as just thoughtfulness.

Elizabeth grinned as Robert expressed the confusion over how she had described Bella. "Oh, she can be calm sometimes too. The trouble usually happens when she's left alone," she said. And then Mari caught on to the comment Robert had made to her about Kayla, and her eyes widened again. "No. Kayla didn't really bring your name up, that time," she blurted out without thinking, then looked at Robert again. "I wasn't putting all the blame on you. I thought we had established that already. And she had apparently gotten past my friendship with Mari already, so I don't see why we need to bring her into this, and make her feel bad." Then she fell silent, almost surprised that she had said all of that, and starting to worry.

Paris peered down and saw Godzilla's tank. "I didn't even see that." She giggled. Prada climbed out of her carrying case and curled up around Paris's neck. "How did I lose you after we got through the barrier? Did mom and dad find you?" She asked her sister. She felt bad that she had ran off after kissing her parents to go chat with some of her friends before getting on the train.

Jake nodded. "I only turned eleven yesterday," he explained. "Henceforth, it's my first year. What year are you? Because the way you asked your question made me think that," Jake went on.

Before he could turn to watch Lolcat gambolling about like a loon, the door opened and Jake looked up.

"Hello, Cameron-" Jake started but stopped in his tracks when his friend held up the jar. It was frogspawn. Jake grinned broadly. "You found out then?" he smiled. "You worked out how to distract Dominic yet?"

It was a bit too late before Jake realised that someone else was with them.

She stood up to retrieve her lizard from the tank and set him on her knee as she sat back down again. Once again, he began to change colour to match Willow's yellow dress and, once again, she giggled. She would never get tired of watching him change colour. It fascinated the little girl no end. “Prada's not bothered by him, is she?” She asked, looking up at her sister.

“We lost mum, but Dad saw me off.” Willow was upset that they had lost Paris and her mum on the platform somewhere, but she wasn't going to dwell on it. Besides, she was back with Paris again now. “Dad said to tell you...” And she put on a Scottish accent and lowered her voice an octave. “..You be careful with those chocolate bombs of yours. He also sent you a hug.” She giggled letting her voice go back to it's usual soft tone.

"I see. I'm in my third year here." she said. "It's great at Hogwarts your going to love it."
Allie looked up at the new person who came in. Probably another lil firstie. Kinda on the small side. Awwww firsties were so adorakable.
"I'm Allie, a third year here."
Allie raised her eyeborws, at what the first boy..who seemed to be called Jake, said. FOund out what? Distract Dominic? That seemed a little suspicous.
She looked back from the new boy, and Jake.
"What are you gusy planning on this Dominic person? Is he another firstie liek you?"

Paris watched the ickle thing changed color to match her sister's dress. It still gave her a tickle it matched her dress perfectly. The little thing seemed to disappear. "Oh Prada is fine. She's just mad being in that carrier, but muggles aren't supposed to have pet monkeys so I have to hid her you know." Prada held her head high in the air to prove the point that she was still upset. She was a proud monkey that did not like being put in a carrier like a common pet.

Paris looked up at the news that they had lost their mom. "She wasn't with me. It must be something with work then." She told her sister as she fitted Prada's diamond collar around her neck. "Well at least dad saw you off." It had taken her all morning to shake her dad. He was hovering like crazy. Paris thought he would change his mind and not let them even go. "Dad helped me make those and now I have to be careful with them," She giggled. She smiled that her dad sent her a hug. "I repacked your luggage." She told her sister. "You can't walk around Hogwarts in those ballerina getups and stuff like you did in New York. They will call you strange and pick on you. Then I will have to beat them up for picking on my sister." She told her.

Xander glanced up when he heard a tap on the window and looked up to see Paris he grinned and waved back.
" Bye mum." He gave his mother another quick wave." See you at break." he dissappear onto the train and made his way towards Paris compartment. He knocked lightly as he pulled the door open " Room for one more?" he asked as he poked his head in and smiled at the sisters.

He answered Jake's question if he finally found out what a frog spawn was by nodding, a lot. It wasn't long till he researched what the thing was, it wasn't even a magical pranking tool at all. Frogspawn was just the baby form of a tadpole and it was all slimy and gooey.. Perfect for some action. Cam still brought some of the other things just in case something went wrong. But he was sure about 99% that nothing would ever go wrong. All they had to do was be sneaky-like and everything! He turned his head back to the other girl and made a nervous smile. What they were doing...?

"Ohhhh! Well... ya see. Dominic's my second cousin once removed. And, well as ya see, he wants to learn what frogs are and we're here to teach him a lesson!" Wow, that was the worst lie he could have ever though up of.

"Sooo, yeah!"

"Always room fro one more."Paris jumped up from her seat and leapt into Xander's arms. "I've missed you." She giggled as she pecked him on the cheek. She laid her head on his shoulder. "What was your mom fussing about? Are you in trouble." She asked him.

Reese just got settled in her compartment right when her stomach grumbled.Great.She got up from her seat and walked out of her compartment.She walked down the hallway until something caught her eye.she stopped and turned back around and walked over to the compartment she just stopped at.She saw Allie sitting with two guys.Hm.Was she trying to get a boyfriend?Gesh.That reminded her.She needed to find Lucas and end her realtionship.She wanted to be single,again.

Reese opened the compartment door,ingnoring her stomach,and smiled."Is there room for one more?"

Willow looked at the monkey perched on Paris's shoulder and smiled. “The muggles would have just thought you were an eccentric gypsy type. ...Wouldn't they Prada?” She cooed at the monkey. Willow was almost as animal crazy as their dad.. though not quite. She laughed as the monkey held it's head in the high. “Wonder who she learned that from.” She said sarcastically looking at her sister.

“Aww.. poor mum. She shouldn't be running around like that in her.. you know.. state.” She replied. You'd think that the Ministry would allow a pregnant woman to take things a bit slower, but they didn't seem to care.

Her eyes widened a little as Paris revealed she had repacked her trunk for her. “But.. but.. but.” She stuttered and then just sighed. She knew Paris was right of course.. though she didn't mind people thinking she was strange. “Thank you for thinking of me.” She said sadly. How was she going to go an entire year without her things? She gazed out of the window as her mind wandered to New York. She missed it like hell, but she needed to give Hogwarts a chance.

She looked back towards the door as it opened. "Yes, of course. There's plenty of room in here." She replied with a warm smile.

She was taken aback when her sister appeared to know him. At least she hoped she did, leaping into his arms like that. "Is this Xander?" She asked looking at them both. She had heard a hell of a lot about the boy.

Because Willow was Willow, and because she was a show off sometimes, the first thing the fifth year did right after she'd said goodbye to her father and siblings, --and somehow lost little Noah in the process-- was to pin her Captain Badge to her robes, so that it could be in clear view of everyone. That way she could brag about it without having to brought it up. Really, the most natural reaction that someone would have once they spotted it would be congratulate her; and then of course she would be able to brag. A little.

After having made her way through the sea of people looking of compartments, and bumped into one first year or two without meaning to --tinny little creatures! They got even smaller with every passing year-- the rather short brunette finally found a compartment that was free of annoying boys, drama queens, and annoying little kiddies that possessed a funny smell.

In other words, she'd found an empty compartment. Perfect.

"Quiet now, Agnes," demanded Willow to the her gray owl, as soon as she placed the animal inside its cage on the floor. Just like its owner, Agnes could be a critical being that complained about everything and enjoyed making pointless noise, which aggravate Willow very much. That was the only thing the two of them differed, of course--Agnes was loud, while Willow was not. Or at least she was not loud all the time.

And because the animal refused to listen to her most of the time, it began to hoot. "I said quiet! Is that so hard to understand, Agnes?" Ridiculous creature.

Too much testosterone. That was what was swirling around in Evolette McKenna's head. She needed some female company. Someone who didn't make her want to bang her head against a wall.

There were only three girls in the whole school that she would consider talking to for more than five minutes: Anna, Willow, and Kayla; and as luck would have it, she spotted Willow Kovac heading into a compartment.

Pushing past a few randomers, she made her way, quite forcefully to the compartment where the dark haired girl had just entered, knocking once before sliding the door open, and smiling charmingly.

"Willow." she said, stepping inside and sliding the door closed behind her, "Would you like some company? It's like a zoo out there." Figures that everyone would be crowded around that stupid snack cart.

Inside her bag, the little kitten that Hugo had given to her for her birthday, scratched against the fabric, mewing softly at her. She dropped one strap off of her shoulder, grabbing the tiny thing with one hand, and drawing him out. "You're not allergic, are you?" she asked, gesturing to the kitten as he squirmed, trying to get free.

" Missed you too." he replied as he hugged her back.
" Trouble," he laughed. " No, but i will be if I don't let her cut my hair next time im home. Thought she might get her wand after me before I could break for the train to tell you the truth."

Xander looked from paris to her sister and nodded in response to her question of who he was. "You must be Willow."He said extending his hand to introduce him self properly.

"Yeah but they aren't even supposed to have these sorts of monkeys." She pointed out. Her dad got it for her while he was in Peru looking at a sick dragon. Not even muggles were supposed to have it. Prada looked at Willow almost winking at her. Paris stroked Prada's sleek fur. "She takes after her mommy." Paris said proudly. Prada swiped at her hands and jumped down from the seat to walk over to Willow and reach out toward Godzilla.

"You know mom she won't sit down and just put her feet up." Paris said. Even though every one in her family was wealthy beyond anyone's wildest dreams everyone in her family worked. And they worked hard. No one just sat at home and spent money. Her mother was no different. She got her fist job at 16 and has had one ever since.

Paris looked up at her. "I just took out the leotard and the tutu Willow. All the rest of your stuff is still in there. Chill." She told her. It wasn't like she had just thrown out all of her things and just packed everything Paris thought her sister should be wearing. "I'm always thinking of you. You're my sister. I'm supposed to look after you when mom and dad aren't there." She told her softly.

She nodded at her sister from Xander's arms. "Yes this is he," She giggled.


She giggled and snuggled into his arms. "I like your hair long. Its cute," She pouted. But mothers were like that. Her mother was always fussing about the hair color Paris choose sometimes.


"Yes, this is my little sister Willow Chanel Greenwood." She introduced formally. "Willow this is my boyfriend Xander," She kissed him on the cheek and then wiped at the sparkly lip gloss that she left on his cheek.
