"I am not sure, but we will find out soon enough. Relax it well be fine. Just think soon we will get to try out our wand," Mystic said with a smile think about using her wand.

Dru looked confused at the girl. One moment she ignored her, the next she smiled at her. She honestly didn't understand what this girl was doing. At least with Irial it was simple, he wasn't going to eat her and therefore was her friend. This girl however was different.

Never taking her eyes off Diane, Dru took one step back and then to the left, so she was partially hidden by Irials body.

"OOOOOOOOO I hadn't thought about that!!! What's your wands made out of?" the thought of going to classes got her even more excited to make it to the castle and get started...

Marisa continued to look at Jake when she felt him grab her hand, which her first instinct was to pull away, but she allowed it while she sat listening to him. That’s so kind, she thought to herself as she suddenly felt a warmth like none other raising up her arm, which strangely enough was the arm to the hand Jake was holding. Confused and touched all at once Marisa sat there quietly and though Jake had let go she could still feel the warmth that was created though it faded away gradually.
After she regained herself she allowed a smile. “Jake you are a very kind person and I feel lucky to have meet you in Diagon Alley and to now be able to call you a friend,” she said with a heavy breath following before she continued. “Why would you say that though…even if I don’t like you that much?”

Theo walked past the compartments in the back. He wanted somewhere that was empty or had a few young people in them. He saw one that had two girls and a boy in it. One girl was hiding behind the tall boy.

He walked in to see the hiding girl, "Hello there. Are you ok?"

Aaron hadn't thought about his wand for a while. He took it from his trunk and opened the box. It was still polished from the shop.

"Mine's 11 and a half inch with Aethenon hair. What about you guys?"

Dru was so focused on Diane that she was unware the compartment door had been left open. However she became very aware as soon as she heard a voice behing her speak.

She let out a high pitched squeal and spun around to look at the boy who was talking to her. Somewhere in her shock, she had grabbed the back of Irial's robes with her right hand and was gripping onto them for dear life

Satine noticed a young man walking down the hall looking into the different compartments.

"Are you looking for a spot to sit down? There's some room in here." She said with a smile..

Jake sat there looking at her as she seem to be lost in thought. He waited till she said something and when she finally did he smiled "yeah me too" he said to her. Jake chuckled and ran his hand through his messy dark brown hair "I dont know, the first time you ran away from me, which I am sorry if I upset you, which I clearly did, not the your the first person to do that though" Jake said rolling his eyes "but I dont know you always seem distance, but I know that's just how you seem to be sometimes" he shrugged

Irial glanced at Dru. She was obviously scared of the other girl. "What exactly are you here for?" he asked, not commenting on her seemingly out of context compliment on his eyes. Sure they were dark purple, but with the shadows...they seemed almost black.

He put a gentle hand on Dru and gazed at Diane. "I suggest you tell me why I find you so threatening, and why this girl is so scared of you, otherwise, I may have to get you to leave us alone." His tone was kind, but his words threatening. The archaic designs on his arms under his trenchcoat pulsed and burned to the point of almost forcing him to cry out.

When Dru clutched onto his robes, he spun around to face the newcomer who'd scared her. "What are you doing here?"

Theo frowned as the young hiding girl screamed and ran away. "I'm sorry I scared you. I didn't mean to. I am really really sorry." His bottom lip wobbled a bit. He didn't like upsetting people. And this girl was.

Theo shook his head, "No thank you. I think my sister is around here somewhere."

My wand is a 11 inch cherry wood with basilisk plume core. I still find it funny that my wand is made of cherry wood and my middle name is Sakura which means cherry blossom," Mystic replied.

"She seems a bit, um, overwhemed if I may say it," Lil Entelequia peeped in when the new visitor showed concern for the Dru girl who had spun and shrieked. Diane had both hands behind her back and leaned slightly, going back to her previous more childlike behavior.

"And who may you be?" she added at last with the same manner; the boy was older too, a brunette. Somehow he looked different from the other one in an unphantomable way. She sat back to her previous position in the seat, with less of the swinging and crossing her legs. "No wonder we are going to Hogwarts - you two should know, right? Is Hogwarts all its reputed to be?"

"That's really cool." Aaron said.

As the boy left sight, Aaron put his wand away.

"it looks like that boy didn't want to join our party." Aaron laughed. "What do you think is going to happen when we get off the train. I mean, we arrive in Hogsmeade, right? Not outside the castle."

Marisa had regained her nerve as she set looking and listening to Jake explanation. Though the recent strange occurrence had her stirred up, she pushed past the thoughts as she spoke. “Well to fill you in on a couple of things. Since you are my friend now..for one I wouldn’t be talking to you if I didn’t like you and I am the type of person that I either like you or I don’t. Then also I didn’t run away from you, I stomped very honorably away.” At that she gave Jake a little smile, “And it seems you learned your lesson from that because since then I don’t recall you telling me what I had been doing wrong in my life or what I should be doing.”

Dru looked at the boy who was about to start crying and relaxed her grip on Irial's robes a little, although not totally letting go. This boy was shorter than her, why did she jump so? Dru's mind temporarily left the situation with Diane and moved to this boy.

"It's ok," she said gently, sensing that this boy was very much like her. "I've been scared lots today. There's lots of people bigger than us on this train!"

"I am Theodore. Theodore Newtington the forth," Theo smiled at the other girl. "What is your name?" He had always been taught to be polite. "And why are you scaring this other girl? It isn't very nice you know. My daddy says that they are bad people, that are meanies to everyone."

Theo nodded, "Everyone is bigger than me. I am really small. You should pretend to be big. Because then you won't feel smaller than people." He smiled at the girl, now that she had stopped screaming, "I am Theo. It is nice to meet you."

"I am not sure. We can go ask Satine's new friends," giving a little glance at Satine. "So Satine tell us about your new friends you met. Do you know what year and house are they in? Do you think we can meet them? Are they boys, girls?" Mystic asked.

Jake chuckled "alright Miss Marisa first of all Im glad we are friends too second I wasnt telling you what to do, I was more like advising you to see better guys, who would treat you right" he stop and held up his hands to stop her if she was to say anything "third" he said "stomp of honorably" he looked at her and chuckled "but alright lesson learned, nut remember what you read about Slytherins" he told her "we dont always follow rules or do what is told of us" he said with a wink.

"How should I phrase this..." Diane thought out loud, momentarily at loss. "I've absolutely no idea what I've done to scare anyone, I'm not even that tall myself." She couldn't help saying this with a toothy grin. "But despite the little scare, it's very nice to meet you too, Theodore. How old are you if you won't mind me asking?"

Marisa eyed Jake with a sneer as he spoke and held her tongue when he held up a hand to stop her. Then as soon as he finished she cut loss herself. “Well I don’t like advisors so please don’t because which guys not to date was not all I heard criticizing coming out of that mouth of yours.” Rolling her eyes, she continued. “And it was stomp of honor.” She almost chuckled but caught herself and added, “I think I may have been sorted into the wrong house then.”

Iris laughed, Aaron must have fallen a sleep because his chhek was red. " um can you leave a minute whilst i change?" she asked, and opened her trunk to get her robes.

"Oh ok," Theo shrugged, smiling at the girl. If she hadn't meant to scare people that is fine. "I am 13, nearly 14. I know I am small though. It isn't my fault." He kicked his feet on the ground, nervously. "How old are you?"

Irial remained quiet and allowed Dru to speak to the boy whose name was Theodore. He began to absentmindedly scratch his arms and twitch. His eyes grew darker and he glanced around. It was way too crowded.

"I have to go, Dru..." he mumbled, pushing his way past them all and finding an empty compartment where he undid his ponytail, his hair falling in cascades around him, covering half of his face. He was paler than usual. Pulling off his trenchcoat, the archaic designs up and down his arms moved with rapid speed. He tugged off his shirt and noticed they'd spread to his chest. Damn it all. This only happened when there was a threat around. Just who was this girl?

And why was he so protective of Dru as well?

"Uh...huh? Yeah, I guess it might be sort of like that, Katie," Anna replied. Maybe so, maybe not, but Anna couldn't imagine the future opportunities that awaited her could be compared to riding a bike without training wheels. Although, maybe, when she really thought about it, it could. Maybe the same excitement a little kid felt while riding without training wheels or riding a roller coaster for the first time could equal the same amount of excitement Anna would once day have about getting married and getting a job out in the adult world. "Hmm...maybe so, Katie. Maybe so."

"Ahh, I see. A game...," Anna said, giving Katie a knowing smile. Ahh, this little girl was clueless about boys. Anna could definitely remember feeling the same way about boys as Katie currently did. When Anna had first arrived at Hogwarts, she didn't even look twice at a boy unless he was asking her about homework or classwork or anything ending in the letters w-o-r-k. Come to think of it, Anna didn't have much of a social life her first three years at Hogwart's. At least Katie seemed to be a real social butterfly. "Katie, in four years, I want you to owl me and describe to me how your friendship with Legend has progressed since I was a seventh year. Promise me that. I'll be expecting your owl."

"Why do you I say that you'll one day appreciate boys being around?" Anna repeated. "Well, for one, one day you'll wake up and decide that the boy whose poked you, picked on you, and ridiculed you for years is suddenly the boy you want to kiss. He'll be the boy whose hand you hold while walking down by the lake in the evenings. He'll be the one you make doodles about on all your parchment. You just wait and see, Katie!"
