Jake tried to to chuckle at how easily she got angry " alright alright" he said. He stared at her then look down at the ferret in her lap, he seemed happy and content there " so you think you belong to Slytherin then" he asked her looking back up at her " that's full of bad boys" he said with a smirk and teasing tone. He knew she parbably would get angry with that but he was just joking " Maybe Im in the wrong house too" he said to her still smilling

"Thirteen, going to fourthteen," Diane said, mimicing Theodore's introduction. "I must say, you make me sound like a girl from a scary movie... It's fun," Diane said with a smile. "I've never filled in this role before."

Speaking of roles, our recident goth boy was running away from here. Slippery thing, got out so fast he didn't leave a chance for Diane to stop him. But how cruel of him, she thought as her eyes left the door and landed on Dru: leaving her alone with scary Diane, even though it had been stablished it was him she trusted. And that left Diane with a crusade--

Should she make further attempts at making friends with the scaredy Dru and small Theodore, or should she embody that young boy Agnos' behavior and let those two scare themselves out to their hearts content without even making an attempt at either impression?

"Hi Theo," Dru said, smiling at the shorter boy. "I'm Dru. My brother calls me 'bitesize' but Irial told me to not listen to him!"

She turned to smile at Irial but he suddenly decided to leave, only saying a quick goodbye to her. She looked around, suddenly at a loss for what to do without her tall friend to hide behind.

She looked directly at Diane before sitting on a seat near the door, realising what had made Irial go. She placed her bag neatly on her lap and folded her arms moodily. "You made my friend go away," she told Diane, looking at her from her side vision. "You're not nice, why did you do that?"

Theo didn't understand the nameless girl. She was odd, and a bit mean. "I don't watch scary movies, so I don't know what you mean. I have nightmares if I watch scary movies. Men in Black scared me, and so does anything with aliens in."

"Is Dru short for something? Like Edru or soemthing?" he said. He didn't really know what Dru could be short for. Oooo maybe Andrew, but that was a boy's name.

Irial stood in the middle of the compartment, gingerly touching the designs on his chest. They burned him, and they grew blacker with every moment that passed. He pulled a salve out of his pocket and began applying to his chest and arms. Thank Faerie that Gabriel had the foresight to put that in his bag before he left.

Once he finished with the salve, he replaced it, his chest and arms all shiny now, and collapsed onto the seat, his eyes closed, a look of pain on his face.

Skylar laughed at the idea Emily had suggested. "Or, I could just make them all move. Or at least try." Skylar had a way with people. whether that be good or bad. Skylar cleared her throat and screamed at the top of her lungs. then she added in a loud voice, "Spiders!!!" She hoped that would do the trick. It usually did. Plus she was extremely hungry.

"Yeah, sure." Aaron said. He got u, fixed his hair. And walked outside into the hallway. He looked up and down the hallway looking at all the people returning to their compartments with their robes on. He still couldn't believe that in a matter of minutes, he would be in Hogwarts being sorted. AGH! HE COULDN'T HANDLE IT!

"Um, I seem to have taken a bad turn with you lot here. But you are right, if a first impression failed, there's no reason to push it any longer." Diane stood to leave and brushed the uniform skirt plaids back into formation. It was, to put it simply, the flow of paranoia: it took only one of them to get the wrong impression for all of them to decide there was something wrong with her.

But she wasn't upset. This had been, after all, a perfectly good social experiment. She should refrain from the extensive use of vocabulary the next time she engages in an attempt of such characteristics. She should be proud. And so it was that Diane left with a nod and a friendly smile.

Dru sat in silence for a while, looking out of the corner of her eye at Diane angrily. She carried on doing so until the girl had left the compartment. Dru felt relieved and slightly pleased, her angry look helped make the nasty girl leave!

Dru looked at Theo and smiled at her new friend. "My full name is Druscilla Addams, but Druscilla is sometimes too long to spell so I call myself Dru, I can't spell that wrong!"

Theo giggled, "Oh ok. That is a funny name. I will call you Dru. Druscilla is hard to spell and say as well." She was a nice girl. That other girl was not. It was a good job she had left.

With a smirk Marisa nodded her head, “Yes if Slytherin is full of bad boys you certainly did.” Pausing she smiled that small sly smirk once more before adding, “I did not that say, but if what you say is true then probably so.”

Dru joined him in the giggling. What a sight they must have looked, two very short children in long green and black robes giggling their little high pitched heads off about nothing in particular.

"Is this your first time at Hogwarts too?" Dru asked, she couldn't remember if he had already told her his year or not. He may have when that scary Diane was around, but Dru wasn't listening at the time.

Jake laughed and layed back on the seat still looking at her "yeah I dont make much of a Slytherin, but Im alright with that". Jake shrugged and smiled "alright then which on do you think you should have been in?" he asked her.

Theo shook his head, "I am in 3rd year. So I have been to Hogwarts lots." So she was a first year. Oh well. She was lovely anyway. She was a nice friend to have. He was meeting lots of new people today.

Marisa rolled her eyes on instinct as she looked at Jake and began to laugh. After a few good chuckles she said, “Well at least you admit that, but I was only kidding with you. I will stick with Ravenclaw. You know though- its too bad you are a good Slytherin and I will be in Ravenclaw. If it would have been the opposite way on both parts we could have cause some mischief around that place.”

It took ages, but once the designs finally stopped moving, Irial opened his eyes and breathed deeply. He could taste the iron in the room and it made him want to gag.

Sitting up slowly, he pulled on his shirt, but left his trenchcoat laying across from him. He had to go find Dru and apologize. Hopefully there wouldn't be a crowd. They made him feel so cluttered and helpless.

Irial stood up quickly, ignoring the dizziness in his head and walked out of the compartment, baring noticing that his arms were bare.

Jake laughed "sure, but who says you cant cause any in whatever house you're in, plus Im not a big fan of detention" he said shaking his head "I will not be kissing any slimy wall again" he said, that was a chance he only took with Amy and it was always worth it "are you planning on causing any trouble" he asked her.

“Well you got detention for kissing, right? Well you wont be kissing anyone this year and if your sneaky enough you wont get caught causing mischief.” She gave a polite smile before raising her hand to the base of her neck and fluffed up her hair, like she seen Ms. Snooty do all the time at her old school. “Why me? Well no I would never do such a thing- I do take pride in my reputation.” She smiled polite again as she held back her laughter.

Dru gasped, a third year! Wow, now was the time to play 20 questions! She leaned forward, using the bag on her lap as a resting place for her arms.

"What's Hogwarts like?" She asked, her eagerness showing all over her face. "Are people nice? Are the classes fun? Is the food yummy?"

"Hogwarts is awesome. I really like it. It is a big castle. With lots of grass outside," Theo smiled. He loved the grass, "It also has a lake. And a huge Quidditch pitch. There are lovely people. And the teachers are nice. Well some of them. The Dark Arts teacher is scary. He nearly made me wet myself. I was that scared."

"I love the mashed potato. It is lovely with milk to drink. That is all I have at Hogwarts. But Mr Clifford says that the food is really good. He eats lots of it."

Irial paused at the compartment door where Dru was. She was busy with that boy who terrified her before, and he nodded slightly. Better that she acquaint herself with people nearer her own age. He was definitely not one to mess around with.

Silently making sure she was alright, he left and continued to walk around, still oblivious to the fact he wasn't wearing his trenchcoat any longer. He wondered if Caitlin was around, and why he hadn't seen her yet. It was rather depressing.

Deciding he didn't feel like walking anymore, he leaned against a random wall next to a compartment and crossed his arms over his chest. His eyes closed and he dozed off for a few moments.

Dru gazed open mouthed as Theo described Hogwarts. She could only imagine what it would look like when they finally arrived. She was concerned that she may end up getting lost in the castle, but that wasn't a problem if the people there were as nice as Theo said they were. And she had Irial to help if people wern't nice to her.

She smiled widely at her thoughts until another question came into her head. "Who is Mr Clifford?" She asked. Was he a professor or just a very big student, like Irial?

Dru suddenly turned, she thought she heard footsteps stopping outside the door. She was about to bravely stand up and see when they started again. She quietly opened the door a little way and peeked out, only to see the back of none other than Irial walking down the corridor.

Well she thought it was him, but there was something different about him that she couldn't quite put her finger on.

"Mr Clifford is the Slytherin Prefect. He is really lovely. And so is his girlfriend, Miss Evangeline," Theo smiled. "You will love them. They will meet you on the first day, or I will show them to you."

He frowned as she stode up and looked outside, "What you looking at?"

Aaron looked over to a boy who just leaned up to the wall next to him. He obviously didn't see him. He was a few years older than Aaron. He had to be 6th or 7th year. Deciding to be polite, Aaron said,

"Hey, how's it going? I'm Aaron, a first year."

Jake rolled his eyes "oh yeah you are a really good girl arent you, you dont have a bad bone in your body" he said laughing at her inocent act "you are right I wont be kissing anyone this year, but if that's the detention I got for that imagine the others" Jake shook his head " but it is my last term might as well make it good right"
