"Fifth Year. Ravenclaw." Pyralis replied. She saw in his eyes he was anticipating something. He seemed to be a nice guy. "It's nice to meet you too,Ryder."

"Ah yes I did, I almost forgotten about that when I was packing my trunk a couple days ago." Amanda said, then took the CD from her pocket and handed it to Ryder. "That CD took me 8 weeks to finish, with a lot of late night recording." She added with a slight smile on her crimson lips.

"Oh, okay." Lettie said quickly and scratched Ornlu behind his left ear, to which the cat purred loudly. "Did you have any fun over the summer? Do you visit family or anything?" She asked, trying to make friendly conversation.
Leticia looked up as a new face appeared in the doorway. "Yes, you can stay." Lettie answered with a smile and as Ornlu flattened his ears for a moment. "I'm Lettie by the way, Lettie Dubois, I'm new to the school this year."

Kevin nodded at Lettie and said "Yeah i did have fun, i am just pretty anxious to get back to school now"

Iris laughed as Aaron said this and then turned around to face the girl at the door, "Yeah, OK. Hi, Satine - I'm Iris." she smiled at the Girl.

Phew, Aaron said in his head, they like each other. Aaron walked over to the seat across form Iris and sat down.

"Well," Aaron said, "We made it. Finally, we're on the train to Hogwarts. This year is going to be great." Aaron looked up at his owl who was squeaking and chirping and shaking at Iris' cat. "Oh be quiet, Avery." he said to her.

Iris laughed at the owl and picked up Luna, "go on, back into your basket" she said to the kitten. "I know - I can't believe it either... it's gonna be really good..." she said, Looking out of the window. "we're heading back up north!" Iris said - she'd just spent all night on the train to get to London in time to get the Hogwarts Express, and now they were going back towards the North of the country.

Cy was still laughing, he had fully expected to have Katie issue that noise but this was almost just as good… as long as he didn’t get caught.

“Yea’ yea’, suree.” His brown eyes eyed her expectantly, as if he saw her guilty. The bombshell quickly tried to blame it on someone else, and Cy figured it would be in his best interest to turn the attention to someone else as well.

She pointed at a guy, who was now questioning her. The girls face had gone a nasty shade of scarlet. “GROSS MATE!” Cyrus roared at the older boy. “Yah’ mum nevah’ teach yah not tah pass gas in front of a girl?” The Aussie shook his head disapprovingly, but he was unsettlingly smug on the inside.

Cyrus Paul Andrus considered himself a genius. Especially now.

Aaron remembered that Iris lived north and that she probably was on a train just to get to London. Rough. She had to go on a train to get on a train that just takes her back to where she came from. Aaron laughed.

"Yikes, you're going right back to where you just came from aren't you? There should be more trains to get to Hogwarts."

"Anxious?" Leticia said in a voice that was slightly nervous now, "Why would you be anxious? What goes on at school?" Maybe the guy was excited to get back to his friends, or to be back at class? Oh well, Lettie would learn soon enough about the happenings at a public school.

Okay! This kid was making too big of a deal and going with the flow...Hmmmm...

Check: Just what she needed in case of emergency! The kid had talent...special talent at that!

"Lyra Noir," she extended her hand in a dainty approach towards the little fella, who obviously was not from around here. This could be her answer to all answers. "And I know this cute fella has a name?" Charm! She had to butter him up...in case she needed him for...anything. Her green eyes watched him as her face was now sporting a mischievous glance is his direction.

"Are you sure?" Joseph asked her. The girl looked embarrassed.

Kevin smiled and said "I just want to be back at the castle already cause it is one of the best castles ever and plus i just want to see some more of my friends that i have not met up with yet"

Dru had managed to ignore most of the commotion about her as she read her book. Well, she hadn't ignored it exactly, just only listened to half of it. It was, in fact, the sudden rush of air hitting her in her face that made her look up.

She glanced at the boy next to her who seemed to be falling asleep, much better than feeling sick. She put her hands into her bag and pulled out a very neatly folded green and silver blanket that her brother bought for her for her use on the train journey.

"Blanket?" she asked the boy, offering it to him, still folded.

Ricco had got bored from the lack of people in the front of the train so he decided to walkdown the aisle to the back. As soon as he was near the end of the train he began to peek into each of them until he found one that took his fancy. As he passed a compartment he saw a girl who looked a little older than himslef extending her arm towards someone who he couldnt see so stopping he turned around and slid the door open. Talking to the girl that had her arm extended he asked, "May i sit down beside you?"

Samantha walks through train looking for a friendly face.
Her owl Amaethon flys past and goes into a compartment
"Amaethon!! get back here"
She Shyly goes to compartment door
She takes a look around looking at the people and she decides they look friendly
"uumm .. Im Samantha Sterling Sorry about Amaethon .Can i sit here please?

She let out a sigh of relief and leaned back in her seat some more. "It's good to know that the school is safe at least." Lettie said with slight concern, "That's what my parents were most worried about...nothing bad ever happens in the school, right?"

"Hi." Lettie said as some bird flew into the compartment and landed near the window. "You can join us, sure." She continued and held onto Ornlu who had started to growl and watch the small owl with interest. "I'm Leticia by the way, Lettie Dubois." The girl held out her hand to shake.

Olena sat on the bench in her empty compartment, watching the trees and hills go by as the Hogwarts Express sped on. She glanced around nervously when she heard someone run by the compartment door. It was her first year and she didn't know anyone. She hated being lonely and not having anyone to keep her company. Tucking her dark red hair behind her ear, she sighed and went back to staring out the window.

Not unless you count Malfoy being a complete jerk. And all of the Chosen Ones adventures.Pyralis thought in reply to the girls, Lettie, question. She hadn't meant to be eavsdropping but it had just happened.
Pyralis stood. "Excuse me."She stepped out of the compartment and headed down the hall she stepped inside the almost empty compartment. "Hi."She spoke to the girl.

Lyra Noir… that had a good ring to it didn’t it? Cyrus nodded to her and grinned slightly, shaking her hand smoothly.

Eh, wait. CUTE? No no no, his dad’s pet CAT was cute. Cy wasn’t cute, he was cool. But he understood the notion, she was totally into him… poor little guy really just didn’t understand large age gaps. “Yes I do.” He said, leaning forward a bit. “I’m Cyrus, Cyrus thah’ Great.” He was dead serious at this introduction, anyone that doubted his ‘greatness’ was a thick headed fool.

“…But, most people call me Cy. So, eithah’ works.” That was when his stomach grumbled LOUDLY, he had skipped out on his breakfast. He REFUSED to eat the oatmeal that the blasted House Elf cooked. It looked poisonous.

“Woah, you hear’ thah?” His stomach growled again.

That older boy was still there, Cy’s dark eyes narrowed. “Sure about whot’ mate? The fact thah’ you ripped one on thah’ train... in front of her?” The eleven year old gestured to Lyra. No, he wasn’t sure about that. Cy knew deep down the true source of that noise.

He chuckled as she told him it was the last time for the both of them. She hadnt got his drift, but it was alright. It wasnt that important." I could say something to someone, but i dont think they would take the suggestion. They would point out that their is plenty of room for all the students. Just wondering how comfortably they will be. Stuck in a room of unknown people. I guess sometimes thats what people need." Some people were sociable enough to not need any help from anyone. Others needed much much more help.

he smiled at her as she said it wasnt her place to say either way. Even if she did say so."I guess i was. It just felt that way. I couldnt help it." he explained to her. he watched her as she held up her fingers to show him the ratio of how paranoid he was being. he was just being protective if anything. He got from her that they were going to play this game of his as he listened around for a few moments. She had interrupted him when she started to talk about elizabeth again. He listened for a second as he had to agree with her."Sounds like it." He watched her get to her feet as he did the same.He moved from his own seat to the seats across. He would let them both sit together seeing as they hadnt seen each other in some time." Hello Chatter box." He said from the compartment.

Kevin nodded and said "Yeah that is what i heard as well but hey we just have to be very safe and hopefully we will be safe" Kevin smiled at the girl who chased her owl in here and said "Hey i am Kevin McKay" Kevin held his hand out hand for the girl to shake

Pyralis's head snapped toward the compartment where the thought comment about a House Elf was made. Her eyes flamed...literaly.

Natka walked by the compartments filled with smiling and gossiping students and smiled to herself, glad she was going back to Howgwarts. She had missed the school a lot over this past summer, much more so than she had previously. She missed her friends, the classes, the professors and above all, Hogwarts' wonderful library...

She spotted a girl with beautiful, dark red hair sitting alone in one of the compartments. Natka paused and, at a closer glanced, realised that the girl looked rather lonely and nervous. Natka hesitated.

The third-year Ravvie hadn't quite overcome her shyness yet, although the past two years at Hogwarts had helped her, and this summer had done wodners, too. Her parents had sent her to a riding camp in France, so that she would finally fine-tune her language skills in addition to improving her skills. She'd managed to make quite a lot of friends there, as a result of which her insecurities concerning talking to people had lamost vanished all together.

Natka opened the door noisily and walked into the compartment.

"Hi, can I sit here? I can't find anywhere else with some space," she asked with a friendly smile.

Olena's head snapped up as she glanced at the girl standing before her. "Um, hi," she said shyly, self consciously smoothing down her jumper.
