This is true. Ellie rationalized in her head. She would be fine. She would consolidate the girl she upset when she saw her either later, or at Hogwarts.

"Me too. So, what do you know about Hogwarts so far? Any classes you're particularly looking forward to?" She just wanted to talk. She was good at talking. Plus, it lightened the mood.

"Must be." Ainra agreed. She could just barely make out the dark mountains in the distance. "I can't wait for the feast!" She smiled. Ainra loved to eat. She was lucky because she didn't generally put on weight because she was so active. She had done a lot of sports back at muggle school. "I think I'm most excited to learn to fly and watch the quidditch matches." Ainra said. "Hopefully I'll be good at it and be able to be on the team next year." From what she had heard if you wanted to do sports quidditch was the only way to go, and Ainra certainly wanted to do sports. Writing, reading, and sports had always been her tree passions... and thinking, but she didn't know if that really counted.

Jen grinned at the new subject. "defense against the dark arts and potions. How about you?

"Ohhhhh now you reminded me how hungry i am" Magnolia said holding her stomach. She was starving! "I have no idea how this flying thing even works" Magnolia said. Back at home she was a dancer, but she'd also played soccer and field hockey. "Somehow i don't think they will have any sports that i'm used to" she said to Ainra smiling

"I'm not too sure. I'm just looking at everything, I guess. See what I'm good at. I know a few things here and there. But of course I havn't executed them, so they could be disastrous." she joked.

Jen smiled warmly at Ellie. "oh I'm sure you'll do great at everything you put your mind to." she said kindly

Ellie smiled back, "Thanks. You will too. I have a feeling you're going to be a great witch. Good competition, at the least." she said in a joking manner.

Jenn couldn't figure how any story could be short, but before she could say anything else, he started telling his...short story.

She listened, and at the end, she could feel the heat rising to her cheeks, even though she really had no idea why to be precise. Maybe it was the fact he had told his parents, Deliliah, and Deliliah's parents, that he loved Jenn...her. In a way, it horrified her, yet in another way it made her feel, satisfied. Yeah, horrifingly satisfied.

Finally, her mouth and brain started functioning again, and she turned to look at Kel, who, to her surprise, was also blushing. "Well, that was, hmm, sweet of you to say that." she said, leaning over to kiss him on the cheek. "You should of told them my parents are well to do as well, maybe they wouldn't have grouned you." she teased, nudging him playfully in the side. "I thank you, Sir Keltan, for telling me of your lovely adventure at home. Now that, that, quest is out of the way, what say you that we talk about more, cheerful subjects of not groundation."

Magnolia settled back down with her book and continued reading, shooting occasional glances out of the compartment window. She wanted to make sure she got a good look at the castle when it appeared.

With his bag slung over his shoulder, he ventured over to the back of the train, his mind set on going into an empty compartment and sleeping. Of course he knew he'd never sleep he was way too excited to even think of sleeping. Walking slowly past the compartments shaking his head at the people in them before venturing towards the very end of the train spotting an empty one.

Opening and closing the compartment he sat down taking out a small box with holes in it. "Okay Goldie, you can come out now. But stay here okay?" he asked softly taking out the tarantula and letting it crawl on his hand. Dropping his bag onto the floor he pulled his legs up and crossed his ankles, closing his eyes.

Not knowing what to say, Kel just shrugged a shoulder in reply to her saying he was sweet. One corner of his mouth twitched up into a smile when she kissed him, and he got a bit more relaxed.

"I didn't think it was the best time to tell them why you're a much more logical choice for me than Deliliah." he looked down as he said this, practically mumbling. "It was chaos. My father was yelling, my mother was appalled, Deliliah was bawling - I seriously don't know what's wrong with that girl." Immediately after he said this, Kel felt bad. He didn't talk bad about girls; it wasn't gentlemanly. But, some times, he just couldn't keep it in his head. "I mean, I know she hated me. But she cried so much..." he shook his head. New subject.

"Anyway. You excited for our sixth year?" he asked, his voice more cheerful now. "I know I am. I mean, we're both almost seventeen!" How cool was it that Jenn's birthday was the day after Kel's? Very cool indeed. "Next year's our last year, huh? Time goes by so fast." Okay, yeah. He knew he was blabbering. But it was because he needed to get his mind off of the subject they'd just been talking about, and talking about him and Jenn was sure to do just that.

Ty walk through the back of the train deep in thought. Here was a compartment with only one person and they seem to be asleep. O but they had a spider out. Opening the door slowly so a not to let the spider escape Ty slid in and flopped down across from the boy. "O its you!" noticing William whom he share a dorm with and knowing he wouldn't mind Ty being in here. What up! or do you want to sleep?

Antonia looked around for an empty seat on the train. She was running late and had almost missed the train, if she hadn't had to stay at that stupid, stupid Leaky Cauldron she would have made it on time. What was her dad thinking and why had he abandoned her, sending her to Hogwarts on her own? She wasn't ready for this!

With a soft snort of disgust, Antonia sauntered towards an empty seat and proceeded to unceremoniously plop herself down in the chair. Jeez, what a day it was!

Suddenly, Antonia realized that her pockets were empty, she was going to have to get some candy or something. She had heard there was a food cart on this thing, she hoped they had lots of chocolate frogs in stock. She was starving! Well, she would go there in a minute. Might as well relax for a little bit and think.

Antonia was actually excited about one thing. She couldn't wait to find out what house she would be sorted into. She wondered what it would be. If she got sorted into Hufflepuff then there would probably be a lot of parties and stuff. Hopefully there would be some good food on hand. The prospect of getting sorted into Gryffindor had her a little nervous, she wasn't a brave one like her dad. Ravenclaw was a possibility, because she did like to lose herself in the world of books from time to time. But the most exciting prospect of all was Slytherin. It was more than she could hope that she might be sorted there. They were the smartest students of all, by far, at least in Antonia's opinion. If she got sorted into Gryffndor, she would deal with it. But she could hope!

Wiliam opened his eyes as the door opened, a boy he recognized entering. Hopefully he wasn't scared of Goldie he mused as he grinned, stretching a bit. "No it's cool, I needed to rest my eyes." he replied as he uncrossed his legs and sat up straighter, noticing Goldie wander over to the window. "Not much is up, thinking of school. how's it going with you?" he asked Ty with a grin.

Well I have to say I'm glad to be going back to school. I have to spend part of my summer in Egypt with my parents which is boring. I would much prefer spending my time in Cornwall with my grandparents where I can sail my little boat. Ty frowned but then smile quickly at William. So whats up with your eyes or are you just tired? Looking concerned How was your summer? Did you do something special?

"That sounds fun, never been to Egypt before, my cousin has though." William replied nodding a bit as he looked at Ty. "You sail? I've never been on a boat before, sounds cool though." he added eagerly, his blue eyes bright. "I'm a bit tired. I stayed with my aunt and cousin for the last week hearing about the baby. Girls are weird sometimes." he chuckled shaking his head a bit. "My summer was fun, got to spend some time with my friends at their summer house, went to Romania and helped some people there before coming back and getting ready for school." he explained cheerfully

Now that he was sharing a compartment with someone else, he couldn't take a nap or try to get some slumber anymore since it would be sorta embarrassing on his part. Well, he could just talk to the girl and have a little conversation. He looked at the girl who came across quite unfamiliar to him. Obviously, it was the very first time he'd seen the girl around.

Well, the girl didn't look like a first year so she might be a transferred student, he pondered inwardly. "You're welcome, I do not own this compartment nor the train so people are more than welcome to use its compartments." That was completely true but in France, he owns things... luxurious things.

Okay. Enough for being cold and sullen and all; drowsiness had gone. "I'm Cedric N. Leone. Nice meeting you Lucky. I like your name, it's funny." He smiled at her half-crookedly, eager to see what the girl's reaction would be.

JP saw the spider and was intrigued immediately.
"That is a sweet Spider!! What's it's name?!"


"Best Friends?!"
JP tried to not sound to excited and make himself look like a dork.
"That would be erm.. Cool!!"

Lillith went to the back of the train, excited to finally be off to Hogwarts. She set all her things in the rack above her and sat down in the seat, playing with her kitten, Vengeance, letting her mind go astray with imaginative thoughts of Hogwarts.

Leila waved her hand in the general direction of her parents. "I'll see you in the next holidays." She shouted at them with her back turned as she hoisted her trunk onto the steps. "I love you" she added, after she had finally managed to get the trunk onto the train. Then she shut the door behind her and waved one last time out the window to her parents. Then with one hand she grabbed Amelia's cage and with the other she grabbed her trunk and searched for an empty or fairly empty compartment. She managed to get fairly near the end when she saw a compartment with a girl playing with a kitten. "Aw she's a beauty. Do you mind if I sit in here. It's just I can't find anywhere else." She said in her Scottish accent. She smiled and added, "I'm Leila, sorry for being rude."

"Well, everything will be ok with Harry and Jason" Rex told Kay. "Well, your last year is when we will get married" Rex agreed with Kay."We will plan for jobs and a family, too" Rex explained to Kay. " I knew it was for my money" Rex laughed.I love you forever, too" Rex smiled at Kay

" Glad you could join us" Rex told Keely. 'I forgot your cat's name" Rex told Keeley. " Should I tell Kay about my idea?" Rex asked Keeley.

After the odd encounter with M el, sye had sent his owl Elohim off with a letter to Joe. Since his father had had him locked up in the house for the past 3 days for not coming home the one night, Sye had had Joe stay in Diagon Alley to keep an ear down low. He had asked if Joe heard anything that would explain Mel's behavior.

After a few minutes more of waiting, Elohim came into the train. "Hey boy." Sye greeted the snowy white owl while undoing the strap from around his leg.

Sye opened the letter and read what Joe had written.

Sye finished reading this, and then looked at the picture, he could see why Mel could have been fooled, but his heart broke due to the fact this had to have hurt Maddie.

Taylor found here way to the Hogwarts Express, she was a little late but she always was. She looked around, she didn't know anybody, oh great she thought. She walked to the back of the train and mumbled a 'hi' to anyone she could see hoping they might talk to her back, she had to try and make friends here.

Maddie saw Sye in a compartment with a few other people and, handing the luggage beck to William, ran over.
'Sye!' she said 'Oh, I'm so glad to see you! Can I come in? I need to ask you something...'

Sye got a pained look on his face, "Yah, I have a feeling you might need to talk to me, sit down hun." Sye responded.
