"Yeah, let's go," she smiled. It wasn't a kiss, but alls good in the end, right?

Hands entwined in each others, Ella and James went back to the compartment with Violet in it.

"Sorry if we were long," she laughed, "We had a pretty important convo."

oh well bye Violet replied she was going back to Leanne and Skye she sighed then opened the compartment door slowly

o whats wrong with her
anyway im tired im going to have asleep b4 we get to hogwarts

"Oh, I don't know," Ella said, rolling her eyes. "Do you want to meet my friend Tibi?"

She snorted at him. He knew? He KNEW that Reese fed Jack a love potion? Seriously? Livvy just stared at Cam and shook her head. "Cam... Um... sweetie. What proof do you have that justifies Reese giving Jack a love potion? Or poison?" she asked, crossing her arms with her eyes narrowed at Cam. Boys.... they were all FREAKS. FREAKY... SPAZZY... And... yeah.

"Yeah... cuz' giving a guy a punching telescope and accusing his girlfriend of feeding him a love potion... defines that you have manners. Totally. I see where you're getting the idea that you have manners from," Livvy said, humorously and sarcastically. Yeah... Cameron Karsten.... did NOT... have manners. She didn't know what HIS idea of manners was... but his idea was definitely NOT it.

Seriously.... was he still trying to get this Lucy girl to grow a mustache. "Cam. If your Aunt Lucy doesn't want to grow a mustache... then she doesn't have to," Livvy reasoned with the boy. Seriously. What was up with him? He like had brain damage or something.

Sighing, Livvy glanced at Reese and just shook her head. "I don't know why I even bother with this guy. Manners is like an impossible trait for him to attain." Cam.... he would never learn. It was just impossible for him. Just.... impossible.

AHHHH!!!! CHAOTIC!

Reese going here and there and the newspaper... and Jack falling on the ice with his bum. CUHRRAAAZZZEHH! Livvy went over to the boy and just as she was about to help him up, Cam threw over a poster of the Anti-Werewolf poster at them. What creep came up with THAT? She rolled her eyes, picking it up and threw back at him. That's right! She went there. OH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But oh no... no he DIDN'T! Livvy watched as the mob of the Mooncalf dung came soaring towards her and Jack, and in the direction of Jack's mouth. Oh geez. Oh geez. Please miss... please miss. If it didn't... she was afraid of how many infectious diseases and horrible flavors that the poor guy would be experiencing.

Tibi nearly jumped out of his skin when he heard a voice from the door of his compartment. Slamming the book closed and pressing his back against the wall, panicked, he looked around wildly for the source.

Standing in the door was a young blonde girl, probably around Tibi's age. He relaxed, but only slightly. Had she opened the door? How had she seen him? Ella must have left the door open! Tibi breathed a sigh of relief that it was this strange girl who had found him instead of Willie.

Ellie? Was that what she said her name was? Tibi sat down properly on his bench. "Uh.. hi," he said to the girl. "Come on in... just... uh... close the door behind you and make sure the blinds are closed... I'm..." Should he say he was hiding? Probably not. "I'm just sensitive to the noise in the hall and it helps." Tibi smiled and made some space on the bench, putting his book back in his bag.

"I'm Tiberius... Tiberius Pryce.. and that" he gestured to the sleeping pink-haired boy, "is Jake."

Bye Ella see you around i guess said Violet. Violet was hoping she would say something to make her stay

Heading down the train from the food trolley, Ott walks along with Lettie. Watching in amazement, at the younger students going nuts in the corridors and compartments, he tries to get around them. Isn't that the kid from under our table last start of term feast... he wonders watching this kid bully other first years.

"I think we'll keep looking..." he comments trailing off, with his words directed at Lettie.

"Right..." Leticia said quietly as she followed her friend down the corridor. All the new arrivals seemed so small now.
Ornlu walked lightly on the floor behind his owner, his fluffy tail swishing as he continued to speed up and slow down when need be.

"But wait, Violet," Ella said, "Do you want to meet another friend I met in Diagon Alley with us? His name is Tiberius, or Tibi for short."

Violet turned around sure

The Greeks believed their gods to be fallible, and their royalty just as much. Helios was a prince of mistakes. Trusting in Eva, he hoped would not be added to his list.

In a dimmed compartment, Helios sat beside a faintly glowing pair of gloves, and matching chain mail shirt. Gifts from Freya, caretaker of werewolves. Too bad she graduated, he could use her help. Perhaps a letter was in order..

A jagged piece of unearthly metal was held in the boys hand, fashioned into a makeshift spear head. The lethal weapon had been used on many beasts, but none that lived as men. Lycanthropy was a disease, a lethal contagion that made men into monsters. If it was spreading, if they were killing people: They had to be stopped.

If it wasn't up to Helios, who would do the dirty deed? He couldn't trust the staff to do it. They were too busy bickering and in fighting.

To battle monsters, one must become a monster.

For Kaz. For Hogwarts.

Sara took another chocolate frog from Remina. Sara could see that Remina was trying her hardest not to laugh, yet still, Sara handled the package like it was about to explode. Gently ripping the end off of the package, Sara squeezed the frog so hard that all that could be heard from the package was a loud, high, squeaking croak...and then the frog went limp. Sara gingerly took the frog out of its package and began to nibble on it.

"Hey..." Sara said in an astonished voice, "this frog tastes good!!!"

Sara looked over at Remina and was just in time to see her friend roll from the bench onto the floor in hysterics.

"So," laughed Sara, bright red in the face, "are are wizarding candies like this...?"

"Nice to meet you, Song," said Ella with a warm smile. "Well, I'm absolutely positive that you will love it at Hogwarts. It's become like a second home to me. And my mum works at the Ministry, so I hardly ever see her anymore these days when I'm at home. And my dad died when I was ten. So it's really nice to have friends at Hogwarts. I'm sure you'll make lots of friends here. I'm glad I've met you."

"South Korea? Really? Cool!" said Ella enthusiastically. "What was it like there? My parents and I did a lot of traveling before I started coming to Hogwarts, but I've never been there. It's actually one of the only places I haven't been to."

“Of course that’s why he gave you the punching telescope,” Reese muttered under her breath when Jack started to question Cam. She glanced down at her green painted nails as she let her boyfriend finish his little talk with that thing in the compartment. Right now, she honestly wanted to know why she even bothered coming into this compartment. She should have left when she smelt those buckets! When Jack fell back onto the seat and jumped right back up again since he landed on the seat, she decided it was time to at least try and calm Jack down. Standing up, she placed herself in front of Jack and then she put her hands on his shoulders. “Okay, sweetie. Let’s try to calm down a little bit, okay?” She told him as she looked into his eyes. “I know you want to hurt Cam, we all do. But, let’s try to not get too – “ How shall she put this? “Too carried away,” she added.

“You know?” She repeated. “Cam, like Jack has said, he’s not under love potion. Can’t you just face the facts that he actually likes me?” She took her hands off Jack’s shoulders and moved to the left side of him, so that she was able to see Cam better. She laughed when Cam said that he was hot and she was not. Ha! “So delusional,” she said. “Maybe you should look in a mirror, Karsten. That so-called ‘surgery’ you had to make you not look like a man Reese didn’t work so well.” She shook her head at the boy.

“HE’S NOT UNDER LOVE POTION,” she exclaimed for the millionth time as she flailed her arms. “Come on, Cam. Just drop this whole thing and let’s get on with our-“ She stopped talking as she watched in horror as Cam threw some of the mooncalf dung towards Jack's mouth. Dude, this just was not cool. He already had a bruised up forehead, he did NOT need that stuff in his mouth. It was just gross. Without hesitating, she tackled Jack out of the way from the soaring mooncalf dung and the yucky stuff hit her on the side of the head. “Ewwwwww,” she moaned.

Cassarissa decided to get up and walk around, after all she wouldn't make any friends just sitting here. Maybe she could even find that girl she was talking to by the food trolley. What was her anme? Nicole...? "Nikki!" she exclaimed when she looked up and recognized the young first year sitting in her compartment. "Oh, sorry, hi there." she smiled and waved nervously.

Ella linked arms with Violet and James, then made her way to Tibi's compartment. She knocked on the door saying, "It's Ella!"

Penelope smiled warmly at the older girl, who seemed to be quite nice, shook her hand, and said, "I'm pleased to meet you, Lettie. I do hope your cat will be okay. I'm sure I will have to play doctor to my cat at some point too. And yes, I am a new student." Penelope guessed her size must have given her away. She hoped it was that and not the butterflies she had been feeling making their presence known on her face. Penelope went back to calmly stroking Paisley to try to keep her and herself relaxed. She looked down and spoke again, a little more softly. "I must admit I am a little nervous." Looking back up, she asked Lettie, "What year is this for you? Do you still get nervous?"

He laughed at Sylvia's complaint. "You think that's true? You will be seeing so much of her that it won't matter. Plus I'm taking O.W.L.s this Term. So I'll be studying a lot." YAY, studying. How fun! Not. "And my best friend is Fyo. You'll probably meet him soon."

He caught the Chocolate Frgo from Xander. "Thanks, Xanderman!" The Chocolate Frog. He wondered if Reese would like the cake he baked for her. "And you aren't the only nerd in this compartment."

And he was glad that he made Brody feel a bit better. It was true. "Well, there was the time that I didn't see Fyo for months and he missed my birthday.. But he didn't really know when my birthday is," he reflected. And he still had no idea where that boy had gotten off to.

It seemed like Ellie had just closed the door behind her when another knock came and a voice announced that it was Ella. Tibi looked around the compartment, thinking that it was getting a little tight, mostly since Jake was still sleeping, spread out over an entire set of seats.

Shrugging, Tibi stood up and went over to open the door. Tibi was immediately taken aback by the sight of Ella arm-linked with two other students. Where would they all fit?! "Uh.. hi again, Ella... who are your friends?" Tibi looked back over his shoulder at the tiny compartment. "I... I don't know if we'll all fit." He jerked his head in Jake's direction, indicating that a substantial portion of the seating was otherwise occupied. They'd probably be arriving at school soon, anyway, so maybe they didn't all need to sit? Tibi didn't want to be rude...

"Well, uh, squeeze in if you can. I'm Tiberius," he said, turning to the strangers. He assumed they were first years, but he wasn't sure. Sitting back down, he tucked his bag under his legs to try to make more room

"We should probably keep it quiet, though," he said, pointing to the pink-haired boy and dropping his voice to a whisper, "Jake's still sleeping."

"Yes, Livvy is correct, I will not grow a mustache. If I'm Auntie Lucy, you have to respect me and treat me like I'm your Auntie Lucy, okay, dear? Good." Okay...hopefully, that was settled with. Now, what? Jack still wanted to kill Cam, Reese was saying "No, not a love potion" and...wait. WHOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAA!!! Why were they all yelling and talking and spontaneously combusting at the same time?! AND WHY WAS THERE SO MUCH DESIRE TO HURT EACH OTHER? LOVE POTIONS? MANNERS? MUSTACHES? WHAT?!?!?! Okay. There was only one way to solve this mess of noise and blahness.

"Okay...everyone...quiet...quiet, please...quiiiieeet..." But everyone was STILL going on and on and on and on about nooooothing. Sigh. Fine. Time to raise the voice. "QUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!" Lucy yelled at the top of her lungs. "JUST SHUT IT!!" Did everyone shut their mouths yet? Lucy hoped they would...hopefully...they would listen. "Can we PLEEEEEEEASE just calm down and sort this out?" Seriously!! And she thought they were all mature and capable of handling these situations well!! Agh. Bizarre, no?

Why.... was she here? She should've left once she noticed those buckets of dung that Cam was holding. Being with Cam was obviously going to create disaster, and yet she remained there. How stupid she was. All the yelling and all the arguing... all the negative atmosphere... Livvy couldn't take it anymore. There was only so much negativity that the sixteen-year-old could take and she swore that if she took anymore, she was going to faint. Yes. FAINT. It was THAT dramatic.

She glanced over at Reese as she tried to calm her boyfriend down. That was still... very... odd. It shouldn't be though. "Actually. I don't want to hurt him. I want to kill him," Livvy said. It was different, right? Killing was different then hurting. Sort of. Well... at least she thought it was. And she was probably being a tad over-dramatic about the killing part. She didn't have any guts to hurt anyone... much less kill them. But still... she felt like she wanted to kill the boy.

And AUGH. The dung. The DUNG!!!!!

Livvy backed off into a corner away from Jack and watched as Reese sacrificed herself to save her boyfriend from the gross... stinky... dung. And it was stuck in her hair. EEEEWWW!!! Gross! If she was Reese... she would take at least fifty showers when they got to Hogwarts. Screw the Feast... take a shower! There's DUNG IN YOUR HAIR!

"Oh geez. Reese. Your hair," Livvy said, her face falling and her lips turning downward into a frown. Her BEAUTIFUL hair... was a mess... a ruin. All because of CAMERON KARSTEN! Glaring at the younger boy momentarily, Livvy returned to Reese and pulled out her wand. And she muttered the incantation that conjured gloves. She put them on and with another few words, the part of Reese's hair with dung had soap in it.

Livvy moved the girl and pushed her gently onto the floor of the train and she sat on the seat of the compartment, placing her hands in Reese's hair. And in the dung. "Don't worry, Reese. In no time... your hair will be as good as new. Though I suggest taking at least fifty thorough showers when we get back to the castle," she said, sympathetically as she tried scrubbing the dung away.

There was a big glob of it in her hand and a part of her wished to throw it back at Cam.. but... she wouldn't. She was above that. And thank goodness Reese had gotten the smell to go away otherwise Livvy was sure that she would vomit.

As she continued to try to get the dung out and find some spot to put it, Livvy turned her attention back to Cam and Lucy. Especially Lucy since she seemed to be spazzing out herself. But really.... couldn't they just figure things out like mature... and civilized... people? "Apparently not," Livvy replied, shrugging slightly as her face turned into disgust at the mooncalf poo.

Danika walked till she found an empty compartment. Torin had already taken off with his friends. So she settled into the seat with her book and started to read. This was the year she was going to make friends. She felt it. Thanks to the help of Torin, she was going to have friends.

Simone was coming back from the food trolley, when she noticed a familiar face sitting in a compartment alone. Nibbling at her pumpkin pastey, she remembered what had happened last year when she first met Dani. Dani poured water all over her. It was an acident of course...but still. Grinning, she knocked on the door, and waited for the girl to answer.

Jackie walked down the train's corridor, every compartment seemed to be full.
She let out a sigh of annoyance and flug her long white-blonde hair over her shoulder. Finnally she desided that there were no free compartments, so she slid the door open to an almost empty compartment. One boy was hunched up in the corner.
"Do you mind?" Jackie said, but not waiting for an answer she sat down in the furtherest corner from the boy and placed her trunk onto the bag rack.

Jackie Quietly closed the compartment door and opened the cage containing a small white bat. Seeing the open door the bat streached it's brown wings and began to fly around the compartment.
