There's plenty of seating at the back of the train. Grab a compartment with your friends, it's time to head home from school!

Laura stared. "Well, I'm not sure if I'm going yet, but if I do, it'll be New York," she muttered. She so didn't want to talk about thins now, so graciously accepted a Bertie Bott from Thomas. "Thanks," she said, putting it into her mouth. She chewed for a moment, before coughing and going red. "Pepper!" She admited, grinning.

"Nice owl," she commented as Thomas fed his owl some treats. She stroked her own Tawny Owl, which was sitting on her shoulder.

Nikita found a seat in the back of the train so that she'd be one of the last to leave Hogwarts. She could see it up on the hill for longer than if she was in the middle or front of the train, and that was what she wanted. Feeling a tear slip well up in her eye, Nikita shook her head to clear it. There were positive things about this. Mainly, she was of age and could get away from Campbell Manor. A seaside cottage sounded nice, or a house with a mountain view...or maybe a cute apartment in Madrid or Paris or Venice. Flame, sitting on her lap, purred as if he read that thought.

Hogwarts would be missed, but it would always hold some of her best memories.

She would just have to make sure she had plenty of time to spend with her friends as well. No way was she going to spend her whole summer at home with the family.

As she lugged her trunk behind her at the back of the train, Mariel's weary eyes glanced around for any sign of familiarity. The Ravenclaw was a bit too tired for too much conversation, so an empty compartment or one with someone she already knew so her company wouldn't be put off by her sleepiness was her best bet, she thought. Slow footsteps brought her closer to her friend Sarah, still too far away to say 'hello', but Mariel was intent on following her into what appeared to be an empty compartment.

As she got closer, Mariel noticed another of her Hufflepuff friends ahead of her and to her left, standing just inside a compartment door. Curiosity getting the better of her, she stood back behind Wesley as she murmured a greeting to a few first year Ravenclaws that Mariel had noticed in the common room, yet failed to get their names. After a few seconds, it became apparent to the 14 year old that her fellow Claws had not paid any attention to her Huffie friend. Laying a gentle hand on Wesley's shoulder, Mariel said, "Hey, Wesley, Sarah and I are going to be in this compartment a few doors down if you'd like to join us later." She gestured towards the door she had just seen Sarah disappear into. There. Wesley could decide for herself if she wanted to continue to try to talk to her yearmates who seemed oblivious to their surroundings or come join her friends.

She gave her a tired smile and continued on down the corridor until she reached Sarah's compartment. Flashing her a winning grin, she pulled her trunk and Pandora's cage through the door and plopped herself down on the seat accross from her yellow-clad friend. Leaning back, she stretched her feet out in front of her. "Surprisingly enough," she said, "I'm actually looking forward to going home." Of course, she might change her mind once she walked through her front door. "Oh, I saw Wesley out there, too, and I invited her to come join us. She was trying to talk to some kids and I don't think they heard her." Shrugging to herself, she pulled out the latest issue of Quidditch World. Good idea to have a subscription owled directly to her at school!

Startled at the sound of the door sliding back,Sarah's head snapped up just in time to see her friend Mariel grin at her and enter the compartment.Keeping her head resting on the window frame she responded with a little wave and a tired "Hello".She watched as Mariel stored her things and chuckled when she said she was looking forward to going home. "Yeah,I am too.Can't wait to see my family,although I wish we could bring our four-poster beds with us," she laughed,straightening herself out in her seat, "it's luxurious compared to mine at home!"

Reaching forward into her bag,Sarah pulled out a battered old copy of 'Hound of the Baskervilles'.She had borrowed it from her dad's collection of books before term,but luckily for her,forgot to take it to school with her meaning it was safe from the floods.Her parents had kindly sent it along with the package of spare clothes half way through term,and she was now near the end.Glancing up at Mariel as she also got herself comfy,Sarah was surprised to hear that Wesley was close by. "Really? I never saw her.Must have been too busy trying to keep my eyes open and watch where I was going.Well I hope she does come along,it'll be nice to have her here for her first train journey home."
Taking a quick peek at what Mariel was reading,Sarah nodded to herself.Yep Quidditch,I should have known.At least it gives me ideas for birthday presents.

But oh, it was only Ced~~ric~~ar which was certainly noooooo problem to him at all. Nope. He looked back at Torin... OH? So the boy was complimenting him now was he?! Yes, he took weird and insane as compliments--obviously because the opposite of those were plain boring.

Everyone at Hogwarts were insane. It was a fact indeed. "Thaaaaanks, I guess?" But HOPEFULLY, they weren't going to talk about the lying anymore, right? Right!

And then in ALL of what was happening, Mosi had jumped from his arms straight back onto his shoulder, when SOMEBODY just SAT, right THERE, on his LAP. WHAT?!?!?! He eyed Cedar and gave him a small glare, though he was trying not to unleash his Slytherin-ness on his friend. Hmmnopenopenope.

"Doooooooooodd!" he said, shooooing Cedar from his lap, "ya almost smushhed Mosi! Scared 'er half to death aaaalright!" The small lemur was almost scared to death and its eyes and was now moving all over Cam. Cam snatched the small lemur back in his arms and started petting it--again, hoping ANOTHER incident wouldn't happen.

Would this whole train journey give his poor lemur some sort of a coma?!

"Youuu bettah say sorry to 'err," he nodded at Cedar, because animal cruelty was not allowed in his world and must be STOOOPPPEDD with a sorry. Yes.

He looked back at Feeyo--no it was Faiyo, right--OH it was FYO. It was an easy name to remember... but suuuurely he forgot about it with all of the term's events. "Oh. Right. Fyo. Hi, again," he greeted, still petting Mosi and making sure not to rest his arm on his lap again--in case someone else was going to sit on it.

And eeeeeep, there were so many conversations going at once here!

"Chyeaaaah, that Mermaaaaid Princess was AWESOME. She had like MUMBO JUMBO," he told them, imitating the mermaid princess's weird finger move thingy she did, "and she went like a AAIYIIAYIYIYIYIIEEEGJKAGDD and broooke ALL of the glass," he screeched, yet again hoping the compartment door was soundproof, "and then CHYEAH."

Totally.

And then Fyo was now giving him a HUGE smile, it freaked him out only just a biiit but SMILING was always allowed right? HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY. "I'm... doing awesomelyyy awesomely awesome." It was noooot true, because he didn't want to leave from Hogwarts... oh the food. Sniff.

Then... back to Reese.

"Yes, Reese, I knowwwwww," now, and eyed Nakato that was still on her lap. "And yahhhh, ya all better learn Mermish, who KNOWS whenever they'll come back--maybe not next year but ... just in case, alright!" Notes? His notes? Ohhh yes! Cam had notes too, though he was gonna have a hard time reading all of them, obviously because he had scribbled way too fast at the library.

Fun, dangerous terms were always the best terms.

Nakato, though not scared of the human, stared at her right in the eyes and the human started petting her, her hands smelled even nicer than her master's. With that, she crawled around and around the human until she reached the shoulder, looking back at her master and then back at the human, touching her neck with her cabbage-smelling hands.

"Yessss, yes he does," Cam told Reese when she talked about his dad, "and dun woooorrrry, I have some bear repellent I always bring along with meee!" Not in his possession right now but... there ought to be some sort of a bear repellent in Diagon Alley right? He hoped so... he didn't want to be eaten by an animal. "And my mum's tended tons of bear cubs before, and even a few polar bears, and a loooot'ta other creatures," he added.

BUT STILL...

"Heh, thankssss, the least I could find are bowtruckles really--I want to find more than just that, maybe even a few Clabbertsss if we're lucky, though, I don't know wheeeeeere exactly we're camping so eh," he told Reese and the more he talked, the moooore excited he got!

Talking about Leema? OOOH! "No noooo, Torin, see, Leema IS a lemur. She's a LemurWoman--I heard that she's human by day and lemur by night, saving innocent civilians in the Wizarding World from dangerous creatures!"

He nodded seriously.

Cameron sure talked a lot. It was hard to get half of what he was saying. Though he did catch the end of it.

"I see..." was all he could say about that Lima comment. He was totally baffled. "So your friend turns into a lemur at night and fights crime?" And people thought he was weird.

She stuck her tounge out.And just for calling me a Liar.... she got back up off Reese's lap Again,And went and jumped on Torin's legs,Trying to hurt his legs as muuch as possible.

And was he supposed to believe that? Pfft! Riiiiight. "Yes, Shana. You are so awesome you could undo any magic used against you." He rolled his eyes at her as she hopped off his lap and onto Reese's. Freedom! Blessed freedom. Being Shana free was like heaven on earth. He closed his eyes for a second, thinking of taking a nap.

"Crap!" She was back again. It was no fair!!

Ignoring everyone, she was about to stand up until Shana came over and sat on her lap.

Grr.

She eyed the girl for a few minutes and then she FINALLY got up and walked back over to Torin. Thank goodness. She stood up and grabbed her trunk from the rack and everything else that she had brought into the compartment. Geez, she brought too much stuff. Once she had everything in her arms, she headed towards the compartment door. "I'm going to go. This place is getting too crowded for me," she announced. She opened the door and walked out into the hall and closed the compartment door behind her.

Now where was she going to go?

She wandered down the back of the train for a little bit until she stopped by a compartment that Jack and Anna were in. Oh, yay! She was going to get to talk to Jack AND Anna. She sat some of her stuff on the ground so she was able to open the compartment door. "Hey guys," she said. "I hope you don't mind if I join you two." She picked her stuff back up and headed into the compartment. She put her trunk up on the rack and sat her two animal cages on the ground next to the seat. After closing the compartment door back, she took a seat next to Jack.

And Reese was leaving? What was with her and ditching people out of nowhere? She had a special talent for that or something. "Later? he called out to her retreating back as she left the compartment. Well, on the bright side she couldn't yell at him about the love potion anymore right now. hehe.

"What do you mean I didn't tell you?" he asked, before realizing - pretty much instantaneously - that Torin was joking. "You're a nuisance," he told Tor. "I shouldn't have invited you." So why had he invited Tor? Maybe because the guy was his best friend since, like, forever?

HELP!

HELP!

.......

HELLLPPPP!

"Errr..... thank you," Fyo said, forcing himself to smile politely. "It means Gift of God." Though in what sense, he had still to figure out. "What does Shana mean?" Thirteen? "Congratulations," he offered with a smile. "You seem pretty excited about it."

"Thanks for the help, Reesekitty," Fyo said, sliding her an appreciative grin. Thank God for people who could remember three-lettered names. Besides, it wasn't such a difficult name, was it? Even though one of those All-Star team players had spelled it "Fio."

Fyo laughed. "I'm not greeting you again," he said, with a shake of his head. "Three dozen hellos are enough for half an hour, I think." Tee hee. "I'm good, but I don't think I want to leave Hogwarts. Of course, after all that homework, a break is always appreciated. And I'm looking forward to seeing mum, dad and Nova - that's my little sister."

"It doesn't sound fun, it is fun! Hey, you were at the camp-out end of this term, weren't you? Did you have fun?"

Honestly, this compartment boggled him. People came, people left, people returned - - and people left again. Fyo sat there, wondering what on earth was going on. Crowds.... disturbed him.

"She was? Really? And you never told me?" BAD Lion. BAD! Evil Lion hiding things from him. "What Team was she on?" Wow, this was so cool! He wondered if she was ever as famous as any of the players he had seen in the autograph tent. But his faovurite of them had been Professor Bunbury. "I hope my autograph didn't break in it's frame," he added randomly.

And now he was laughing. "We all know that you would die there without me." Even with Alice there. 'cause Torin was way better than any stupid girlfriend. Even though he sorta liked Alice now. He suddenly wondered why she wasn't here with Fyo.

Oh. So there's a creature on Cam's lap that Ced accidentally sat upon. Uh- Oh.So its the lemur that he had touched. Eeeeww.. He was scared of Lemurs, any kind of Lizards. They don't look great at all.

He didn't mean to scared the lemur half to death. He was so sorry about that. The lemur's name was Mosi. cool name for a creature like her. And wha-what. Ced will need to say sorry to her. Oh, Well. That's okay but he hopes that Cam won't ask him to touch the creature.

"Sorry Cam, Sorry M- Mosi." apologized Cedric sincerely. All of his hufflepuff- ness were coming out all the time. Being loyal, honest, hardworking, and all.

Then he turn to Torin,

He glared.

Torin was snorting like a pig.. haha. He want to laugh too but fortunately, He didn't. "TORIN!! you can laugh you know, Don't hide your laugh, you nearly sound as a pig" He chuckled then grinned at him. But the way Shana was on Torin's lap was kinda funny too. Being stuck with a loony girl on your lap, sucks!

Suddenly, He turned sad and serious again. So he was not the only one who was sad about going home. "Okay, I admit it. I'm sad too." He smiled weakly still standing in front of them all. At least he unleashed his true feelings, and it'll make things better than before.

Uh-oh Yes. So beside Reese was an empty seat. Finally, He can seat now. Haha. He was glad that he wasn't sat next to Shana who were in Torin's lap. He'll choose Reese to be seated with than the loony girl who just told her while they were at hogwarts that boys were ALIENS. "Hey Reese" He grinned. All the sad memories was being dragged away by his friends' happy faces.

He grinned, suddenly remembering him telling Cedric the same thing when he found out about Bunbury. It was just too amusing. "Okay, fine. And you can laugh about Shana being on my lap. Seeing as it clearly amuses you." Fair was fair. And it was sorta amusing, even he had to see that.

"And cheer up, mate. You will be back here soon. I miss Professor Bunbury though." Sad. Sad. Sadness.

She smiled at Torin and gave him the puppy dog eyes.Hmmmm weeeell,Im not acctually allergic to it,It just umm yeah as I said It makes my brain feel all fuzzy.

Huh? "Er, sure?" he said awkwardly. Why was he the one who always had twelve year old girls clinging to him and stuff? Oh wait, it was always Shana.

Cause what if the train stops and you leave me here cause you are a Alien and yeah and I don't get to go home and see Hiroki. she sniffled and clung to Torin even harder than before.

"Thanks," she said, putting it into her mouth. She chewed for a moment, before coughing and going red. "Pepper!" She admited, grinning.

"Nice owl," she commented as Thomas fed his owl some treats. She stroked her own Tawny Owl, which was sitting on her shoulder.

Thomas remembered the horrible taste of the pepper berttie bott which he ate in the beginning of the year. He knew that some people liked the pepper but seriously how do they eat such a dreadful thing.

"Thanks," he said looking at his gray owl and smiled at her. He had a beautiful owl which is named after his sister Jacky. He loved being next to her, she reminded him about home. Thomas gave her another treat so she won't starve or something. The owl this time looked fully awake, not like she train to Hogwarts which she slept the whole time.

"Err.... sure," Fyo said. He had actually meant that it is good to know the meaning of "one's" name, but she had apparently gotten the wrong meaning of his statement. He shrugged, biting into his chocolate frog.

"You never asked," Fyo pouted. "She was captain for Ravenclaw, but that must be so seventeenth century, because she isn't even at HOGWARTS any longer." Of course she isn't, she's your mother, you duffer.

Autograph? Talk about random Bunz!craze. "I know," he said, rolling his eyes. "I bet you took more care of it than everything else you own, or have ever owned. And I wouldn't die without you. I'm the Sand Monster, mmRAWR." Sand Monster wanted Butterfly, you know. Rawr.

As Laura and Thomas were discussing about owls Bella wondered if she could get one."i'll need to ask my mum and take dad's permission," she thought. she looked out of the window she was going back to London. she didnt know who was going to come and pick her up..."hope Jacob comes," thought Bella, "i really miss him more than any body," she said to herself and turned her head towards her friends to listen what they were talking about

Taking a quick peek at what Mariel was reading,Sarah nodded to herself.Yep Quidditch,I should have known.At least it gives me ideas for birthday presents.

Mariel chuckled slightly as Sarah expressed her enthusiasm for her Hogwarts bed. She had to admit they were so plush and comfortable, and she probably would miss her own once she got home. Tilting her head to get a good look at Sarah as she leaned her head on the window, the Ravenclaw girl gave her friend an amused smile. "Tired?" she asked. "Me too... Feel free to take a nap if you want. I might. In fact I was looking for either an empty compartment or one with someone I knew so no one would think it weird if I nodded off." Or had someone she hardly knew pull some bizarre prank on her while she was asleep.

She glanced up from her magazine as Sarah pulled out a book. Peering at the cover she said, "Oh that's a Sherlock Holmes, isn't it? I haven't read that particular one, but I have read The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes... it's a bunch of short stories. You'll have to let me borrow when you're finished?" She looked up at Sarah hopefully and ended that last bit as a question. She certainly didn't want to presume that she could pick and choose her friends' belongings as if they were her own.

Mariel looked back down at her magazine and turned the page before frowning slightly. A tiny article had reported that Keiran Kavanaugh of the Kenmare Kestrals would be missing their next game due to a mysterious hex that had landed him in St Mungo's. Hmmm, maybe I could go visit... No, he's probably in a private and secluded room being a famous athlete. Shaking herself from her reverie as Sarah mentioned Wesley. Mariel glanced up at the door. No sign of her. Hopefully she didn't get lost on the way... Or maybe those other Claws opened up to her and invited her in. Turning back to Sarah, she nodded. "I'm sure she'll be along soon. She seemed a little nervous... I think she'd be more at ease with her friends." Meaning her and Sarah. The poor girl seemed so scared of everything. Hopefully hanging around the two older girls would instill some confidence in her. Suddenly getting an idea, the 14 year old smiled to herself. She would make it her personal project to help Wesley become a confident, strong young woman.

Turning towards Pandora as she let out an indignant hoot. Mariel pulled some owl treats out oof her pocket, tossed them through the cage, and said, "Well, if she doesn't come along soon, we can keep an eye out for her once we step out for the lunch trolley." In a little while anyway, because right now Mariel needed a little rest. Tucking her legs up under her, she copied Sarah's pose and laid her own head upon the window.

"Jake." She spoke, moving over and putting her arm around his shoulders, so she could hug him. "If I had a choice I wouldn't be going. I dont want to go. Just ask Professor Morgan." She closed her eyes. She shouldn't have mentioned her. "I'll still be able to write to you."

Scowling down at his own feet, Jake couldn't help but feel mad. Why did it always feel like he was getting a telling off?! Grrrrr. He crossed his arms in front of him and pouted for a moment, relaxing a little when Vannie put her arm around his shoulders.

Leaning into her, Jake sighed and said, "Sure," though he didn't really believe she would remember to write or have time enough to write to him. So, better make the most of this. Unfolding his arms, Jake wrapped them around Vannie in one of his awesome hugs.

He would not let go. Nope. Nuh-uh.

In a little while anyway, because right now Mariel needed a little rest. Tucking her legs up under her, she copied Sarah's pose and laid her own head upon the window.

Her timing was impeccable.Just as Mariel asked her if she was tired,she yawned - loudly. "Is it that obvious?" she giggled,rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. "I was up late packing,didn't want to leave anything behind,and thank you,I'm sure I will nod off at some point.It's nice you don't mind." Sarah nodded as Mariel spoke of finding somewhere on her own or with friends.She was a chatty person when she opened up,but right now was not the time to get to know new people.People who,on first glance among the other compartments,were fully awake. "Hmmm I thought the same.It would be so rude going to sleep in front of someone you don't know that well." Sighing,she set down her book momentarily and re-tied the band in her long brown hair.

Picking up her book again,Sarah thumbed through the pages to get back to the spot she had left off at.She had just started reading again when Mariel spoke about it. "Hmmm? Oh yeah it is.My dad leant it to me,he's got loads of books at home,including the one you just mentioned......" she stopped and flicked to the front to see if there was a list of the other books available.There wasn't,and she was darned if she could remember them right now.Glancing back up at her friend Sarah smiled. "Of course you can borrow it! I'm sure my dad won't mind,he's read it tons of times before,won't be in any rush for it.In fact I'll probably be finished before we reach London,you can have it then." Smiling broadly,she went back to her reading as Mariel scanned her magazine.

Sarah followed Mariel's gaze up to the door when Wesley was mentioned again.She'd better be alright if she is staying with those Ravenclaws,nobody messes with their Wesley and gets away with it. "Poor old Wes,she's always nervous about something," Sarah sighed,taking a chocolate bar out of her pocket and eyeing Mariel with suspicion.Was she up to something? That looked like a sly smile that just crossed her lips. "What are you thinking?" she suddenly said,her own grin spreading across her face. "You looked like you were planning something in your head."

Sarah's mouth watered as Mariel fed Pandora,making her look down at her own food.The only food she had with her.Luckily she had enough money to get something from the trolley,and nodded her agreement with Mariel's plan. "Yep good idea,but hopefully we'll see her soon or the train will be in London before we know it!" Taking a bite out of her chocolate,Sarah let out a sigh. "I may need something else soon,my stomach is grumbling.Will you want anything? I've some spare change for a couple of cauldron cakes." Hmmmm food.

Leaning into her, Jake sighed and said, "Sure," though he didn't really believe she would remember to write or have time enough to write to him. So, better make the most of this. Unfolding his arms, Jake wrapped them around Vannie in one of his awesome hugs.

He would not let go. Nope. Nuh-uh.

Vanessa sighed quietly, as she looked at Jake. She really didn't know what to say to him? Mainly for the didn't want him to get upset or walk off for that matter. She smiled when she noticed that he had relaxed a little. Well that was better.

"Jake, please believe me." She rested her head on his as she hugged him back. She had this funny feeling that he wasn't going to let go. Not that she minded, that meant that she could come back to Hogwarts. "I can always come to Hogsmeade if you want me to." She spoke softly, squeezing him a little. "You won't be on your own."

Victoria was walking down the carriages looking for her friends, she saw Thomas in one of the compartments. She walked in, "Hey Thomas, how are you?"

"Okay, I believe you," Jake nodded, though thinking non-stop of empty words and all that jazz. Meh, he'd just have to wait and see, right? Right.

To make his goal a little easier, Jake scooted his feet round so he was now sitting ON Vannie's lap. Bwaha, get outta THAT! Though, of course, he was a skinny little twig of a boy... so it wasn't like he was a ball and chain. "I'm always on my own," he mumbled, laying his head on her shoulder.

"I'm glad." Vanessa smiled at him, at least he was believing her now, even if only a little. It would make her feel better once they got to kings cross.

"Ooh." She was a little shocked when he sat on her lap, but she still smiled at him, throwing a glance at that other guy. Surely he was feeling awkward now. "Oh Jake." Vannie sighed, putting her arms around him, and holding him close to her. She'd have to remember to mention this tomorrow. "Sweetie. You won't be on your own. You have your friends don't you?" She stroked his hair in a comforting way as she spoke. "and I'm always only an owl away."

"Hey Vicky," said Thomas getting off the chair giving her a hug. "How are you?" he said inviting her in. "You remember Laura don't you?" he said sitting in front of her but next to the window. "Are you excited about your next year?" he said and finally the train began to leave Hogwarts territory.

Pfffft, who cares who saw Jake clinging onto someone like this. It was what he did. So there. Hehe.

"I guess so," he nodded, mumbling a little as she stroked his hair. That was... comforting. "This sucks," he muttered, frowning again. "I hate having to write to people all the time just to talk to them."

Not only was it a tremendous amount of effort to make his writig legible, but it always meant alot of waiting around, something Jake hated doing. When he wanted to talk to someone, he usually wanted it done straight away. Alot of things could happen in the space of an owl journey.

This really hadn't been what she was expecting, but really should have maybe? She knew how Jake had been in Professor Morgan's office. She continued to stroke his hair, smiling a little at the pinkness. She was really going to miss this little lad, maybe when she came to visit Professor Morgan she could visit him too. Teehee.

"I know Jake. It's horrible." She sighed, stopping her stroking of his hair, and looked at him, with a sad smile. "Thats why....whenever you want to talk to me face to face just tell me okay? And I'll be there."

"Hey there, silly doggy," Fyo laughed, petting Kota a bit before looking at Lacey. "Have a seat, you're right - We haven't talked in forever." If truth be told, he REALLY missed all those awesome conversations with Lacey. "Nice pup," he added, grinning. "When did you get him? What's his name?"

Fyo raised an eyebrow. God, cool? He wasn't sure he liked the way she put that, but he let it pass. "Yeah, it's cool to know what your name means," he agreed. His jaw actually dropped open at her last statement, though. Chocolate - she was allergic to chocolate?

"You're joking!" he said, pausing in the act of petting Kota. "I mean, who in the name of Merlin's share of milk-chocolate doesn't like chocolate?" Who, indeed? This just wasn't possible!

Lacey took a seat next to Fyo. "Kota, you are such a bad dog. You know better." She said. She reached in her bag and pulled out a treat. "Do you want to give it to him, Fyo?" She asked. "I've had him for awhile, I just had to keep him in the doorm room. His name is Kota."

Hey, hey, heyyyyyy! Why was she stopping?! Nuuuuu! Nu fair!

"Okay," Jake nodded, still pouting a little as he agreed. "I'll try, anyway."

Well, he usually had a problem telling people something was up.

Mugglemad · 08-17-2009, 07:08 PM

"Hey, I am good thanks! I can't wait for next year, I am going to be a second year" she smiled at him.

"Honey. Are you sure thats okay?" Vannie sighed, smiling at him. She could tell that something was up. She stroked his hair once more, and sighed again.
She looked back at the other guy, and smiled apologetically, but she would do anything if Jake wasn't feeling happy.

"Well I can't wait to go home, I am going to the Grand Canyon and Denmark. This gonna be the best summer ever," he said excitedly. He couldn't wait for second year but hopefully there won't be any Grindylows. Do you want a Berrtie Bott?" he said popping one into his mouth. It tasted a bit like banana with maple syrup.

Mugglemad · 08-17-2009, 08:46 PM

"Cool with your family! Sure, thanks!" she took one and it tasted like strawberry jam. "Mmmm, strawberry jam!"

bone_baud10 · 08-17-2009, 09:03 PM

"Hmm," said Thomas looking into the box, "How come I never got strawberry jam. So unfair," he said folding his arms.

He looked out of the window and Hogwarts was no where in sight. He saw that his owl was asleep but thank goodness he was so awake so he wouldn't feel so jealous. It was getting dark outside so it will be soon time to sleep but Thomas guessed that he won't sleep to night.
