Shana sighed before frowning. "I know. JAKE ?! Hello, I like him I am NOT hanging around with him. and Cam, meh I suppose. CLARK ?! WHAT!? Noooo way he thinks Im in love with him. And im so nooot!" Mental Flail.

Kay smiled at Marie and thought that she really did want to know everything. "Well we meet by change really. He was at the Quidditch game and was with no one so. I walked over and said hi." Kay said watching for Marie to react to what she was saying. "We talked alot and walked over by the crazy tree and he gave me this really beautiful gift." Kay showed Marie her gift and smiled at the thought of Kevin giving it to her. "We have been going out for about two months and Yes, I love him every much." Kay sighed thinking of him leaving and knew that she shouldn't say anything about it. Marie was her friend, but Kevin would have to tell her that part.

Marilyn watched him go with still-narrowed eyes. She understood his protective attitude over his friends...but it was clear he didn't know much about what was truly going on. No one did...except her and Rafe.

It was never her intention to become involved with her best friend...She'd made that deal with Carter with the fake dating, but real feelings had gotten involved...like she knew they would. He was attentive and protective over her and she was lucky to have him. Not many girls ever found someone like Carter Phillips...But then Rafe had kissed her and she became confused.

Marilyn had never seen Rafe as obtainable. When she was with him, it was easy enough to picture them together. It was like the most natural, perfect thing in the world...But with him being her best friend, the Slytherin would've never made that move. Why did he have to?

She lowered her face to rest in her hands, thoroughly hurt and confused by the two Gryffindors in her life. They were going to be the death of her.

Carter walked to the back of the train with Bella. He saw Josh up ahead. "Hey man, you seen Marilyn?" he asked. He looked to the compartment he just came out of. Inside it was Marilyn. "Nevermind." he said. "Hope you have a good summer, mate." he said once he was closer to Josh. "I hope to see you at the Quidditch cup." He looked into the compartment. Marilyn had her face in her hands. That wasn't good.

"Yessh! But I'll be in the front with you." Brody giggled, as she smiled at him, although being in the back with the others might be fun too. Hehe she'd have to keep changing. "What kind of car do you want anyway?" Not that she'd have a clue seeing as she knew nothing about muggles.

"Yey Now I can try out properly next year." Brody smiled as she looked down at the bat. It was amazing, and totally not like something she would have asked for, which made it all the more special in a way. She looked up at him and smiled. "You know me so well." She blushed a little at that, but within a second it was gone. "But really thank you. I love it." And that was very truthful, and she didn't lie so.

"You're joking! But I know you'd want to hold my hand anyway." Brody giggled, as she smiled at him. It wasn't her fault that she was scared of going on a plane! "I'll be there to cuddle you." Brody smirked at him. But was she being serious?

"Syyllvvie" Brody beamed as her Bestie sat next to her, and automatically hugged her. She couldn't not see her Best friend on her birthday. She took Sylvia's hand and smiled. "I knew you'd get me a present. You always do." She spoke in a matter of fact tone. And Sylvie pressies were the best. "i cann waitt"

and then she looked at the other guy who was here. "Oh hey. erm. Thank you?" She was sure she'd only met this guy like once.

He nodded as Warren joined him and Brody in the seat. This was nice. Now he had another friend to spend the trip home with. YAY! "Pleasure to see you too. I've been good. You?" This was sorta true. He was still not happy about the Alex thing, but now he knew who he really wanted.

Sylvia!!

He smiled as the girl barged in the compartment and headed straight for her best friend before noticing that he and Warren were even there. "Hey, Sylvie!" He hadn't seen her in a while. She looked good. hehe.

He laughed as she told him that she would be in the front with him. She didn't even ask him if she could, she just told him. "Yes, you are. You all can take turns sitting in the front." It would be easy enough in a convertible, though obviously it was for the best that he stopped when they switched so as not to cause any car accidents. "I wanna get an orange convertible." He wasn't going to go into the different cars 'cause she wouldn't know all that. "It will be great having the roof down and our hair blowing in the wind." YAY!

He shrugged and smiled. "I know you well enough." He saw that she blushed slightly, but it was gone as soon as it came. "I'm glad you love it." Now they could practice together and she wouldn't need to borrow his bat.

He poked her. "You think I do." Which was sorta a little true, but still. He wasn't going to admit that to her. "Now see, you want to cuddle me." haha. Though she was cute offering to cuddle him, even if she was joking about it.

Marilyn heard her boyfriend's smooth voice and looked up. All she could offer was a weak smile, embarrassed about the way she'd rushed from the Great Hall just an hour or so earlier. Her voice was quiet as she greeted him. "Hey you."

As he dragged the trunk and Hotty with her cage and closed the compartment door, Carter's voice rose behind him asking for Marilyn. He turned around to face the blond boy but there was no need to answer the question then as he spotted where the blonde Slytherin girl was (what a blondie couple! ) . Good timing. He would not like Carter to see him while he spoke to her. Yep, good timing. Though his house mate saw him getting out of Marilyn compartment, what they spoke was safe since there was no way the girl could mention it. She had to lie and Josh did not care if she did. Josh smiled at his friend when he wished them a good summer ''Thanks man. I hope you'll enjoy it, too'' he watched him peek into the compartment. ''You are coming too...See ya there then''. He hated that Ryan man but it was quite kind of him to take him to the final match.

''Now, i have to go and find Rose. Smell ya later!'' with a grin he waved at him and continued moving on in the narrow corridor and hopefully he there was no need to search the whole train for his favourite Slytherin as he spotted her in the next compartment with her bestie. So he opened the door pulling his stuff inside ''I hope it is warm enough''

Wondering what had happened to Marilyn Bella enterd the compartment with the others.

"Hi I'm Bella Chloee Lovegood," said Bella with her gental light tone of voice putting out her pale hand to meet Marilyn.

Journey to the back of the train.

Ella remembered all the memories of the previous year. She had some very interesting conversations, with boys nevertheless. She wondered what happened to her other friends, she never saw them. Oh well. She walked through the hallway and saw a familiar face. "Hey, Bella!" Always nice to see that chickaas face.

"Hey dollface." Carter said putting an arm around Marilyn. Did I just seriously call her dollface...? "I've been looking for you. This is my friend Bella." he said motioning to the girl he was with.

"Nice to meet you," said Bella shaking Marilyn's hand.

Bella turned her head around at the sound of her name to see ," Oh Hi Ella!" said Bella with a smile. She rememberd Ella. Ella Bella. haha.
"So when did you get here?" she asked Ella.

Marie looked at the gift Kay showed her "Wow, that is nice." 'They've only been going out two months and he gives her a gift like that, is he crazy?' "Figures you met at a Quidditch match, you never seem to miss one of those things. Wait, you love him very much? How can you even say that? You are what, twelve years old? Do you even know what love is?" Marie just looked at Kay like she really was a nutter. 'That girl is nuts, she has her first crush and she thinks she is in love.'
"You still didn't answer my first question though. Why did I have to find out about this from Kevin? If I thought I was in love with someone I would tell you." 'Maybe she wouldn't be the first one I told but I would tell her.'
"Will Kevin be joining you on the train?" Maybe Marie would have to go find someone else to sit with. She really didn't want to sit with anyone who was going to be getting all kissy face in front of her. 'Ewww, bad mental picture, Kay and Kevin kissing, I think I might go find Evan and sit with him if they start doing any of that.'

"Eh, five minutes I think. How have you been? I barely saw you this year!" Ella wished they could have spent more time together. Next year, def.

Marilyn genuinely smiled at Carter's choice of words. "I've never been called doll face before...I think I actually like it." She seen a girl approach behind him who he quickly clarified to be his friend, Bella. Holding out her hand politely, she said, "It's nice to meet you, Bella."...but when the blonde caught sight of Ella, she cringed. Why did she not like that girl? Frowning, Marilyn turned to face the window, hoping the beautiful scenery would keep her tortured thoughts away.

Destiny didn't think Evelyn wanted to hear what he was saying, she thought she just wanted to look at him. 'Well no, can you read lips?' Unless there was a spell for making them talk louder or something like that. But it was too late anyway, through the mirror Destiny saw him leave the compartment with Marilyn and head their way.

And he was fast. Before Destiny had a chance to move away from the door Josh had opened it, which almost made Destiny fall right into the hallway. Luckily she caught herself and the whole almost falling was played off like she was walking toward her owl. But it was soo obvious she was up to something. 'Hey Josh.' And now to occupy herself with her crazy owl.

Carter smiled. He worried a little every time he introduced someone new to Marilyn. But it seemed the only people she had problems with were Gryffindor girls. Speaking of those... Ella had completely ignored him! Was she actually upset that he agreed to go to the Quidditch Cup with Marilyn and not her? Maybe he should find a reason to leave? "Have you seen Mina?" he asked Marilyn. "I haven't had a chance to wish her a happy summer yet."

"Dang." she whispered, frowning and staring at the mirror. Was there any spells she could use? Thinking hard, she missed the fact that Josh was leaving the compartment until he was right outside, talking to carter. "Hide the mirror, hide the mirr-" Too late. Trying to grab onto Destiny when she almost fell forward and also trying to hide the fact that there was a snake on her arm that Josh didn't like AND trying to clean the foggy glass door while stumbling backwards...

"Heeeey Josh." she sung out, an innocent smile and expression on her face as she suddenly sat down and crossed her legs. Pfft, nothing going on here. Holding her arm behind her back, coughing to cover up the hissing noise, she stared at Josh's owl and then up to him. "How are ya?"

Marilyn regarded him quietly, amused that he was trying to escape the awkward situation. "Front of the train, I believe. Tell her I said Hello?" She actually liked Mina...There was something about the girl that Marilyn could identify with, an inner darkness perhaps. She shrugged off the thought, hoping that if Carter did go to find the Ravenclaw, Ella would go with him.

Ema took her knitting out of her bag, tearing her gaze from the compartment's window. She started on the row frantically, the gold and black colors of Hufflepuff vibrantly creating a wrist warmer. She had planned on finishing the wrist warmer way before returning home, for hopes of wearing it at Hogwarts, but she had forgotten all about it until now. Well, until she found someone to talk to or say tearfull goodbyes to, she would knit.

And eat chocolate. She unwrapped a chocolate frog and stuffed it in her mouth.

Lots and lots of chocolate.

"Do you want to come too?" Carter asked. He didn't want to leave her with Bella, who she just met, and Ella, who just ignored them.

Samson wasn't going to let his emotions pool and get the better of him and make him cry and make him sad and just make him plain emotional... like a girl. Just because it was his last year, just because there wouldn't be a 'next' term for him, just because this was inevitably his last ride on the Hogwarts express, and just because this was the last hour or so that he would be spending with Issy before he said goodbye to Platform 9 3/4, as a student.

Ack! Must. Contain. Emotion.

Gripping his signature duffel bag tighter, he slid into an empty compartment and sat down forcefully so that the impact made a poofing sound. Sigh. The train was going too fast for his liking, and the thought of going back home for good wasn't exactly appealing. On the bright (eh?) side, he would still have Sabrina, and they would talk about their stories back in Hogwarts.

As he lifted his feet up on the seat and waited for the others to enter the compartment, a part of him was telling him that it wasn't going to be that bad leaving Hogwarts and all. There would always be better things for him, and Hogwarts was just a stepping stone. And he believed that the memories he had would never really go away, and he would never really forget the people he had met because Hogwarts was the only school he ever went to for so long, and one never forgot special things like that.

Ooohkay, so any more insights like that and Samson would freak himself out.

With another sigh, he closed his eyes and folded his arms across his chest, waiting... for anything.

When he opened the door his eyes were still on Carter who stepped inside the other compartment where Marilyn was. Also another girl was following him so Josh was trying to remember who that was, if he ever met her but quickly turned back to the two Slytherins girls when he felt the weird reactions at the sudden movement of the door. 'What is going on?' He observed both girls with raised eyebrows, he even kept staring at them without saying a word for a couple of minutes though they greeted him with such enthusiasm. ''I'm fine'' he said placing his trunt and the cage on it in the corner then facing them again ''And are you two all right?'' Hotty hooted wildy the moment the said the last word and opened her beak trying to bite the cage bars.

Ohhhh he suspects something. She felt slightly awkward when he didn't speak for a good few minutes and just stared. Looking around the compartment, she snapped her head up to him when he spoke again. "Good good." Evelyn nodded, eying his owl when it practically was trying to break free from the cage. "Great..." Standing up, she moved backwards to the door. "We are great. Right?" Sticking her arm out, she shook it a little so the snake would fall off. Well, it would be funny to hear a few screams here and there. Certainly make the train ride more interesting. SNAKE ON THE LOOSE!

Breathe in, breathe out.

The train was already running, away from Hogwarts, away from that magic Em would be missing all the time of his life from now on. He was sitting down, glancing outside. If anyone came into the compartment, welcome. Emiliano had enough time to chat...really.

But he figured, only music calmed his sadness, so he took out the guitar out of its case and started to play a few notes.
