Andrea snorted. She put her across her chest and yawn. I still don't understand why Andrew insists on my attending this school...students here are just plain awful When the girl feel forward she only touched Andrea slightly still...it was time to be kind. "Sorry mate!' Said Andrea turning around completely "Name's Andy"

Kel half-smiled at the girl, Georgiana. "That's a pretty name," he said absentmindedly, stuffing his money back into his pocket. "Its nice to meet you too. And, you're welcome." he added, chuckling slightly. He wasn't even gonna ask about whatever should've been left alone. "So...I haven't seen you around Hogwarts. Are you new? Or am I just blind?"

He rocked slowly forward on the balls of his feet, taking a look at the line in front of him. He really wanted some Sugar Quills. That bag of them he had had before school ended was pretty much gone; the result of being stuck in his room all summer long.

Georgiana blushed slightly, "Thanks, I like it. Kind of old-fashioned but I still like it." she smiled. Georgiana laughed, "No not blind, I just transferred from America. This will be my first term here, slightly nervous." she replied with a small shrug of her shoulders.

Then hearing the voice behind her, her eyebrow raised and she turned slightly, dreading hearing the words. She was shocked, the girl was apologizing? And introducing herself. "Oh, um, s'alright." She then gave a small wave, "Hiya Andy, I'm Georgiana."

Lucy eyes got big when Blake shouted--and then she laughed. His poor behind!

Eyeing the boy who was walking away, Lucy smiled at Blake, wanting to laugh some more. But she felt he didn't deserve any more embarrassment. When he mentioned the chocolate, she blushed.

"So you noticed," She said with a chuckle, unwrapping the frog once more and giggling at her nickname. She tore the frog in half (the poor froggy!!) and stuffed one half into Blakey's mouth.

"Aww really? Well, this should fill you up!" She said sweetly as he put his arm around her shoulder. Ooohey! Annd now she felt short compared to him. Pout.

Kel laughed quietly, and shrugged. "Sorry, I have this thing with names. I like uncommon names." Random fact about Keltan Michaels. Blah. "Oh really? What year are you in? I came to Hogwarts in my third year...I was homeschooled before that, though." More random facts. Poor Georgiana was probably bored out of her mind.

"I've never been to America, either. How's it like there? What part of it did you live in?"

Georgiana smiled, "That's cool! I like your name, I don't think I've ever heard Kelton before...Is it irish?" she said tilting her head. "Homeschooled? How was that?" she asked with a chuckle, she loved her family but her parents would have drove her bonkers!

Georgie laughed, "Oh it's wonderful! I came from a small private school in Miami, Florida and the weather was glorious! Except for the hurricane warnings we kept getting." she gave a small shrug, "You really should try to go their someday! And when you do, go to a football game! They are so fun to watch!" Great job Georgie, now you sound like a weirdo because you watch football! A sport he's probably never even heard of!

Kel's eyes widened at Georgiana's words. "Thanks. And, well, it's actually a mixed-up verision of my dad's name. And he's Irish, so I'd guess so. Never really thought about it." But, that did make sense. "Homeschooling was awful." he answered shortly, grimacing. "Maybe it was just my parents, I dunno, all I know is that I am so glad I go to Hogwarts now."

"That's the boot-shaped one, right?" he asked quickly, without thinking. "My father's been there, I think." he looked down at his shoes for a minute, then back up at Georgiana when she started talking about football. "What's that?" he asked, sure he sounded stupid. "Hey, Can I call you Ana?" he asked suddenly, after realizing that Georgiana would be a very long name to yell if he ever wanted to talk to her in the halls or somethin' of that sort.

Georgie nodded, "That could be. That's pretty cool though!" She chuckled, "I think for me, had I been homeschooled, it would have been my parentals!" she then bite her lip, "So Hogwarts is cool then?"

Georgiana thought about his question, "I don't think so...I think the boot is Louisana, but it's close to there...I think..." she laughed at her own stupidity, she probably sounded so lame right now! "Oh, football is a muggle sport!" she thought about how she could explain football. "Well there is one ball, two teams, 11 on each team. The quarterback has the ball first and he tosses it..." she started thinking about how to explain. "Umm, better yet, how about I just show you sometime at Hogwarts? It'll be much easier!" Georgiana nodded, "Sure, if I can call you Kel!" she stuck her tongue out teasingly.

Thank. Goodness.

Tyler was free from his relative, for now at least. He was now going to be blackmailed if he didn't do anything Kat told him to. Great, just great. But he'll deal with her later. Tyler walked into the food trolley and tried to think of what to get. Sure he was hungry, but he wasn't a big fan of sweets sometimes. He settled for chocolate frogs and licorice wands; the first things that caught his eyes. Ty decided to stay here a bit longer, just for a breather.

Ian didn't know where the heck he was. Actually, he didn't remember much except mum and dad and all the brats he had for sisters, dropping him and Colby off at the entrance of the train. He also vaguely remember mum weeping and fussing over his tangled hair and not untucked shirt, as well as planting some sloppy kiss on his cheek.

Of course, he'd saved himself the embarrassment of more fussing and kissing from his mum's part and some 'advices' from his dad part, and hopped on the express. And that's ... as far as he remembered.

Yes, he'd found a compartment and lost Colby in the process and then fallen asleep, and then ... he had woken up from some nightmare that involved broccoli, flying, clowns, giggles and make-up, to see a bunch of kiddies staring at him. So he tried (and failed, mind you) to flatten his hair, stammered a few words to them and bolted out of the compartment.

Only to find himself .... well, who the heck knew? His original plan was just to hang out OUTSIDE the compartment but his ADHD brain had other plans, clearly. Also, now that he thought about it - WHERE had he left his luggage? and what about No Name Jarvey?

Scratching his head, tapping his foot against the floor, and with his other hand rattling some change inside the left pocket of his pale jeans, Ian looked around the place he was now standing, with a quizzical expression on his face.

Where. Was. He? Where. Was. Colb---

---OH, CAULDRON CAKES.

The compartment was getting boring anyway, considering that there were only three of them, and three was not nearly enough of a crowd for Georgie. Besides, she was getting hungry, and Torin's milkshake didn't exactly help her appetite. It started a sugar craving inside of her, and that was never good, especially when it was not addressed.

And so, off to the food trolley to get candy bars!

Hmm. Hmm. Which one was she supposed to get? The selection was practically endless, and Georgie was balling her hands into fists to keep her excitement. CANDYYYY! WHEEEE! Sugary treats and sweet confections galore. Why stop at a milkshake? She wanted candy baaaarrrzzz. FLAIL.

With nuts? No, she hated nuts. Dark chocolate? No. Milk chocolate? She already had too much of that before she went on the train. White chocolate? White chocolate! YES! White chocolate, with rice crispies. Mmm. Rice crispiiieeesss. And sprinkles? Yes! Rainbow sprinkles please!

Now to find the perfect candy bar.

She looked around, and around, tripping on her feet every now and then because of the apparent mass of people in the food trolley, but she FINALLY found the candy bar that seemed to fit all the requirements. And it was in gold wrapping! HEEHEE!

"Candyyyy!"

Candies, candies, candies. Annie needed candies, and so seemed Copito to need some, as well. Eep, that little crazy kitten was scratching her hand so badly when he wanted candy. It was to tell her HE was the boss. Like sure...he was.

But what to get? Milk, Dark or White chocolate?...White chocolate, with rice crispies and that sprinkle that made both owner and kitten crazy. Annie craved for some bars...Squeel!!

Just as she looked around the trolley, her hand, scratched hand got hold of one golden wrapped bar, in time for another girl who was getting the same bar. Oh no...she won't win...no. iFlail.

Erm okay.. what to do now.. she thought

"Now we decide what we want and then place our order." Marie started to look at all the goodies trying to decidde what she wanted.

"ok since you are stuck with me at least let me pay"she said and then added "i like chocolate frogs and sugar quills what are you taking?" and smiled

"I still say Mum should have bought you that collar with the tracking device." Colby drawled as he STARED at his brother. And his brother's untucked shirt. And his brother's unkempt hair.

....They were NOT related.

"I think I will take the chocolate frogs too. They are the best, and who knows maybe we will get a really great card." 'Chocolate frogs are Kays favorite, maybe I should get her some too' Marie thought as she remembered last term and Kay with the frogs.
"Thanks but I could never let you pay for my stuff, that wouldn't be right. How about you let me get yours since you are new here. I'm going to get some for Kay too even though she said she didn't want anything. I know she loves the frogs and would probably be mad at herself for not asking me to get her any."
Marie started to get her money out, she wasn't going to take a no from Vicky, she wanted her to feel welcome to her new school.

Vicky saw through Marie´s intentions and was really grateful she was trying so hard to make her feel welcome so she said "ok let me pay for Kay´s candy and i´m not taking a no for an answer" she thought of Kay back in the compartment for a moment and added in a very low tone of voice, almost whispering "do you know what´s worng with Kay? was she upset or something? she was all flushed" she was truly worried

Ian was rudely taken out of cauldron cakes-related dream.

He also did not know what a collar with tracking device was. "YOU." Pointed the boy accusatively at his BROTHER. Scoff. "Left me in a compartment full of Greers and Ainsleys!" Because those two were an entirely different kind of species. Clearly. "But never mind that now. I need to know if you know where my lugagge is." Like, he couldn't just use the same underwear and socks for over a week; it would be unsanitary. Three or four days, sure, but not a week. "And No Name Jarvey, too. I think it got lost." Or HE'D lost it. Whichever.

"Fine, you can pay for Kay's candy, that is very nice of you."
Marie thought about how Kay did seem flushed but she knew there was nothing really wrong with her. "Oh Kay, she's fine, she's just in love, or so she thinks. Rex just recently asked her to be his girlfriend so now she gets all red in the face when he is around her. She will be okay, I wouldn't worry too much about her right now."

"I don't know what you are talking about." Colby replied. As if he ever knew. He was still hung up on that collar. Sure it had been a dog collar, but he was sure it would have fit Ian's neck.

Maybe his ankle.

"How am I supposed to know, eh?" Colby was NOT his brother's keeper. "Maybe you should." *pause for dramatic effect* "Use the Force to find it." He added. Oh yes. The Force always worked.

She thought of the days back at bauxbatons and let slip a giggle "oh now i get it" she smiled "should we go back to our compartment?" she asked after paying "thanks for paying for my candy by the way"

"Oh you're welcome, and thanks for getting Kay's, I'm sure she will appreciate it. Yes, let's go back, we should be getting to Hogwarts in a litle bit. You are going to love it there." Marie paid for the chocolate frogs and the sugar quills then headed back to the compartment.

Brody had a craving for chocolate frogs. Thanks to the loverly Reese, Brody now liked chocolate frogs rather a lot, which she wasn't really complaining because they were rather nice.
Adjusting her bag She approached the food trolley, ready to get herself some chocolate frogs, because they were nice and yummy teehee. She might get a few just incase she bumped into some of her friends, although she didn't know if they all liked chocolate frogs, but if not then more for her teehee. Flicking her hair over her shoulder, she stood by the food trolley, now she was rather tempted to actually buy something other that chocolate frogs.

Cela had already got everything she needed from the food trolley, but she figured she'd do the rounds again incase she came across someone she could say hiiiiii- there's Brody!

"Hiii Brody!" Cela greeted cheerfully, eyeing the pink bag in approval. It was the exact same pink as the stitching in her uniform. "How was the rest of your summer?"

Celandine stepped out of the way a bit, just to be sure that she wasn't in the way of anyone that wanted to buy stuff.
