Shana looked blankly at the dude who was giving out sandwhichs.He now realised Raiden was sick,Like practically a hour after everyone else,come on duude keep up.She sighed and shook her head.Then Kiri came in.Heey Kiri,what's up ? she smiled and sighed again.Rai,You gonna be okay ? Like on the train.I don't want you puking and I'm kind of almost positive no one else does.she thought for a second.Are we aloud to open the window ? mabye some air would help ? she shrugged,Shana was certainly no nurse,she couldn't handle all the blood and ewww.The thought of it made her shudder.She looked at the potion in the other boys hand.Honestly.Do you really think he wants to drink that if he's already sick ? Yeah I didn't think so. she shrugged,some people where so brain-less sometimes.

"Hey Kiri" Vanessa smiled at the girl, who was looking worried about Raiden. She noticed the younger girl looking at the window, and she glanced up at him. It wouldn't hurt for them to open it. If they could open it that was. Standing up again, she attempted to turn the lock, and pull the window open. It was rather stiff, but after pulling on it with all her weight, she managed to get it to budge back a few inches. At least there was some fresh air now. Hopefully it would make Raiden feel a little better.

As she glanced back at Raiden, her eyes widened as he was trying to push off a tiny person, since when had he been there. "Erm...that might not be too wise dear." She suggested, looking a little worried again. "He might be sick all over you." and I'm not cleaning it up. She sighed, this was definetly a dramatic journey.

And it seemed to get a little more dramatic as the dude who had been offering sandwiches now seemed to be offering Raiden some blue potion. "Erm" She turned to face him, looking little stern. "Stop trying to hand out your unlabelled and illegal potions" She spoke, whilst taking the potion out of his hand. She was tempted to toss it out of the window, but it might have been better to give it to a professor once they got to Hogwarts. "I don't want you to hurt my baby...I mean Raiden."

Kiri heard the compartment door slide open again. Surely they could be left alone for a few moments! Raiden was ill, after all! She turned out, still crouching. But when she saw who it was, her exasperation vanished. "Hi Shana," she said with a preoccupied smile. And obviously the girl could see what was up. Kiri gestured wordlessly towards Raiden, then turned around again.

Vanessa, in the meantime, had apparently noticed her glance, because she had got up and was busy tugging on the window locks. After a brief struggle, they yielded, and with a loud whoosh, fresh air entered the compartment.
Kiri, meanwhile, was looking at Raiden again. He really didn't look well. She bit her lip uncertainly, then extended a hand that was shaking slightly and touched Raiden's forehead. At the touch, a familiar tingling feeling, starting at the fingertips, made its way over her entire body. Plunging on boldly, she caressed his face lightly - which was indeed hot. "Poor Raiden," she murmured. Suddenly, she was feeling a little light-headed herself.

Then Vanessa was kneeling next to her again. Kiri hastily removed her hand and watched in silence as the other girl dealt with the other people in the compartment very efficiently. Especially when the strange vial with the blue potion came into play, Kiri was glad that the older student was with them. She'd half opened her mouth to say something to the boy holding it herself, but the situation being as it was, she doubted she would have had much in the way of persuasive force.
The other boy seemed harmless enough. Maybe a little... overexcited.

"Yeah they were pretty happy. Like they were able to see there friends and eat Hogwarts food again." Chris said nodding. "It probably would have been like sweet to be an animal if you got to decide, they really didn't they were just eating candy and bam next thing they knew they were animals." He told Mat.

"Well it's good that you at lest got to see her. How was she, I know the last term when she was on the train wasn't the best time for her." Chris said recalling the train ride where Sneeze and Jenn were ready to kill each other.

Looking at Shana from his corner of the seat, Raiden nodded, though the gesture was none too enthusiastic. He would be fine. Motion-sickness was a temporary thing, right? Right.

Besides, he had water.

And now fresh air. He closed his eyes as the air flooded the compartment, washing away some of the heat and ickiness that had built up. It wasn't as cold as winter air, but it was at least cooler than the temperature in the compartment had been. He took a deep breath and felt his stomach unclench slightly. Ah, nice.

And zomg hand on his face. His eyes snapped open immediately at the touch; it was Kiri. And really, who else would it be? She was so nice... making sure he was okay, and trying to help him with his allergies, and everything. She was a good friend.

"If I ever get to have a sweetheart like Kayla says," he murmured, "I sure hope it's someone really nice, like you Kiri." He looked at Vannie Corbette. "And you too, Vannie Corbette." He giggled half-heartedly. "You called me your baby!"

The train's motion was starting to lull him to sleep now, rather than making him feel more ill. Maybe if he took a little nap he'd feel all better when he woke up. Naps were good after all. That's why babies and older people took them. They made you feel better!

"Kiri... if I fall asleep, will you stay here with me? And keep that boy from getting me?" He leaned close to her and whispered in her ear. "I dunno what he wants to do, but Daphne Hopton said he wants to touch my tongue and I dunno if I want him touching my tongue..."

Leticia had been peering into a lot of compartments, mostly because she was wanting to be able to recognize faces once she got to school...the other reason was because she was very nosey.
She finally came across one that had a boy in it she recognized, and there were several other people who she did not know.
"Hello, Kevin." Lettie said cheerfully and walked halfway into the compartment, looking around as her Maine Coon cat, Ornlu, climbed up onto his girls' shoulders. "Mind if I join you all for a while?"

"Probably because my mom forced me to overpack," Aaron heaved his trunk in the storage compartment, "and because you're probably stronger than me."
"Hey, Satine!" Aaron said turning around to see the pink haired girl. Well, Aaron thought to himself, it's time to introduce them. "It's cool with me." Aaron turned to Iris. "Is it cool with you?"

Kevin smiled as Lettie asked if she could join them and said "Sure Lettie come on in"

Mari raised a brow and looked at Cayden curiously when he said they should suggest to the school the magical duplicating technique they had discussed. " Next time around? I think this is it for us," She said as she teased him a little bit. " You could always tell someone this year, that way the students who come after us no longer have to suffer with being made to meet new people due to lack of space on the train." She smiled as she said this, realizing that lack of space was probably something that had been done on purpose so that students would be forced to socialize with other people and therefore foster new friendships. It was a little amusing to her.

When he talked about Elizabeth again, she shrugged her shoulders once. " I don't think she would have left, despite both of my choices. I think she realized from the beginning that I wasn't going to have a normal life." She laughed a little as she said that. " But all the same, I'm glad she stayed." She told him. She turned to look at him, her green eyes focused on his face as he told her he was better now. " Good, I'm glad..and it's not my place to say you were definitely paranoid," She gave him a little grin and then laughed. " But maybe just a little." She held up her thumb and forefinger, each digit about half an inch apart to illustrate this for him." A game?" She inquired after his suggestion. Another laugh was her agreement to the game and she started listening. " You know what...I think Elizabeth is going to be here soon." She said after a few moments of the game.
Mariska got up and went to the door just before Elizabeth passed by, opening it and smiling at her friend. " Are you looking for someone or something? " She teased before she stepped aside so she could come in. Mari hadn't seen too much of Elizabeth since...well, since things had changed. That was about right, she thought to herself. " How have you been?" She asked as she opened the door.

"Thanks!" Lettie said and walked farther into the compartment and took a seat that was farthest away from the window, seeing as others wanted to be right next to it.
"So how did everyone enjoy their summer?" She asked politely and looked to all of the faces around her and realized something. "Oh, I'm Lettie by the way." Leticia said and extended her hand to each inhabitant in turn. "Leticia Dubois. I'm starting as a fourth year."

Kevin smiled and said "Well my summer was alright Lettie could have been better but it is a very long story"

It felt good to be back on the train. Something familiar. It had been a really long year, and Ryder was glad to be heading back to someplace he could call home. Ryder made his way onto the train, wondering if he would run into any of the people that he met in Diagon Alley. He walked down the corridor and looked for a semi empty compartment. He couldn't the last time he had over found a totally empty compartment.

With his trunk still dragging behind him, he stopped when he actually found an empty compartment. Pulling his trunk in, he set it in the corner, opened it up, and pulled out his new school robes and pulled them on. Closing the lid, he set his owl on top of his trunk and took a seat in the empty compartment. He really hoped that he wasn't in this compartment all to himself the entire time.

Getting up again, he went over to his trunk and pulled out one of his new books, he may as well learn some of this stuff. After all he did have a lot of catching up to do. With the book in hand, he sat back down.

Pyralis opened a door to a compartment. "Oh." She gasped seeing the guy inside.

"Ohh..." Lettie said sympathetically and gazed out of the window for a brief moment before turning back to Kevin.
"I hope nothing too horrible has happened." Leticia was thankful enough to have a large family, all of who seemed to be thriving and generous people, but she knew that not everyone was so fortunate.

Ryder looked up from his book, and set it aside, knowing he wouldn't be able to read it anyway when the door opened and a girl stood in the door way. "Hi," he said, a little nervously, she looked older than he was, and he didn't remember seeing her before.

"Um, hi. Sorry I interupted you."The boy looked younger than her but he was good looking. She started to turn to leave.

A strange feeling of curiousity fell into Em's mind as he walked around the compartments at the back of the train. He was sure excited to meet more friends, get to see them and talk to them at least for this while of time while they arrived to Hogwarts.

Then, when he glanced through a compartment door, he saw a new guy...Interesting...

"May I come in?" He asked, standing at the door.

Kevin sighed and said "I will tell you when we get to school Lettie as it is a bit too complecated to tell just now" Kevin didn't want to say in front of Chris,Demetria,Liz and the others who were all in the compartment with him

After spending the last 20 minutes pondering her apology to Gabben, Amanda decided to head to the back of the train to see if anyone she knew was there. As she walked passed the compartments, she made sure that her Slytherin robes weren't trailing on the ground because she really didn't want to get them dirty.

Continuing to walk past the corridors, Amanda stopped suddenly when she noticed Ryder in a compartment pretty much by himself. So she headed into the compartment and took a seat. "Hey Ryder, how was the rest of your summer?" She asked curiously then straightened out her robes.

"Oh," Ryder said. "It's okay," he said. When she turned around he said, "you don't have to leave if you don't want to." After all, he didn't want to be rude, and it would be nice to meet new people.

Ryder looked towards to the door again as a guy standing in the door way spoke. "Sure, come on in," he said, almost repeating him. He was pretty sure he hadn't seen him before.


Oh, Ryder thought, a familiar face. As he looked at the girl who'd just walked in and sat down, he said, "Hi Amanda, it was pretty good, a little long," he said honestly. "How was yours?" He asked her.

"Thanks."Pyralis stepped fully inside the compartment and sat down across from him. "I'm Pyralis Edana by the way."

Emiliano entered, "Thanks..." He said, putting his backpack on the top of a trunk nearby. He was going to be traveling around the train for a while, at least he wasn't gonna stay long time in there, or was he??

"Emiliano Saenz, Ravenclaw...sixth year" He introduced himself, offering his hand for a shake.

"Oh the rest of my summer was pretty good, spent a lot of time at my mansion in Australia just relaxing by the pool. I'm quite excited to be returning to Hogwarts, I thought that September would never come." Amanda said, then crossed her left leg over her right.

"Ryder Montgomery, I'm a Hufflepuff fourth year," he said to both of them, shaking Emiliano's hand. "It's nice to meet you both, Pyralis and Emiliano," he said with a smile on his face. He wondered if everyone still said that. He wasn't sure though.

He was glad the girl had chosen to stay, and again, the thought entered his head that he didn't want to be rude to anyone. And that meant anyone at all. "So, Pyralis," he said, "what year are you in?" He was already pretty sure she was older, but he could never be sure. As he waited for an answer, he thought about all the people that he met in Diagon Alley, and wondered if he would see any of them on the train, there was on in particular that he wanted to see, but he hadn't run into her since Gringotts.

He couldn't remember if she had said something about a place in Australia, but that was pretty cool. He did though remember about a CD. "Heyy," he said, "did you bring a copy of you're music with you?" He asked her. "I'd really like to hear it," he said with a smile.

Vivianne made it to the back of the train. Seeing some familiar face sitting on a compartment she happily opened the compartment door and said a "Hi everyone." Looking at all the students seated inside, there's but one new face she doesn't know. "Mind if i i stay here?" She was glad to see them back.
