"So what's been up?" Ainra asked. "I haven't talked to you in forever!" She had gone home for a little while before the train, and stayed with a friend as she couldn't go home. Her friend had asked a lot of questions about where Ainra was going that she couldn't answer so she was relieved to finally be going to Hogwarts.

"I know!" Magnolia said grinning. "Nothing much has been happening here. I'm glad your back though. I feel like everyone else has crazy drama going on already and i don't really want to be around that." She said, thinking of the other first years she'd met in Diagon Alley.

"Oh tell me!" Ainra said, laughing. "I hate being around drama but I love to hear about it." It was true, ever since she had lost all her old friends due to drama a few years ago she had avoided being involved in any situations that could get messy, but she still always had to be in the know.

Magnolia tilted her head back and laughed. "That i can handle! I just don't want to watch it or be involved in it!" she said giggling. "Basically it's just girls arguing over boys, boys arguing over girls, you know, the usual. Super predictable and boring" she smiled, thinking of how trivial it seemed in her head. "So, do you know which classes you want to sign up for?" she asked Ainra curiously. "I'm not sure which ones i should take."

Ignoring the fact that there was a boy in the compartment that could be potentially infected by cooties, Cedes took a seat FAR away from him. She took off her book bag and placed it on the floor, near her feet. Then, she glanced over at her fellow companions as they talked. The oldest of them all began talking to the boy about Quidditch. OOH. Quidditch. She sure was excited about Quidditch also. She hadn't done Quidditch for the past few years because it was like... a co-ed thing where she would be forced to interact with men. Well. That and she had been afraid of Willow Kovac. But. Who wasn't?

Oh. Someone was talking.

Cedes glanced over at the voice to see that the oldest of them all was speaking to her. And when she thought she could ride the train in silence for once. But that was surely impossible. A train ride to Hogwarts was never quiet.

Smiling nervously she replied, "Mercedes Finklestein. But you can call me Cedes."

"Uhm, I don't mind at all..." He said almost inaudibly. If the girl wouldn't bug him that much then she would be more than welcome to join him. "Awful. All of the other compartments are occupied as it seemed."

Now what he should say next? Ask her name? Offer some pastilles?

Lucky placed a little smile upon her face when the boy said he didn't mind her sitting there at all. If he hadn't let her share this compartment with him, she would have... She didn't know what she would have done! Probably said something sarcastic before slamming the door and walking off. Probably. Most likely.

"Thanks," she said. She closed the compartment door behind her, and then she took a seat across from the boy. "Yeah, I'm usually the last person to get on the train, and I can never find an empty compartment." She loves running fashionably late, yepp.

"I'm Lucky Torelli, by the way." Might as well introduce herself, right?

"I don't know..." Ainra said. "Defense Against the dark arts and astrology definitely." She frowned a little. "I think I'd like History of Magic as well." She laughed a little at the drama Magnolia had described. "All that dramatic stuff sounds like my old school." She smiled. "I'm just glad at least you don't get involved. I don't think I could handle it if there was no one else who isn't a drama queen."

Great. She wanted to leave. Her comments was hostile again, but at least she was leaving. She was quick to pick signals. Or maybe she understood it was a pain for him. He hoped for the first one, and was shocked when she turned back again. Why was she not leaving? Just go away and live your love somewhere else! Hearing what she got to say, his face darkened and he felt as if something hit him. He is a true friend... That meant Evan failed at that too, didn't it, before confessing each other their feelings? And her next comment scared him--what if he had been all wrong and saw everything wrong? Maybe that hug was innocent, like his and Fallon's. Then why this tension between them? And remembering how Marie reacted to Carter's presence, he was once again sure It wasn't simply a friendship. He blinked after her. Everything felt like slow motion--except Marie's leaving. He realised that if he hadn't lost Marie before, she was truly gone now. Shaking, he punched the couch and kept biting his lips in order to avoid a tear escaping from his closed eyes.

This year would be like a nightmare--no, it already was.

Mina slowly walked down the corridor. The front of the train was rather crazy and she really did need a moment of quiet. Pushing all her confusing feelings and thoughts to the back of her mind, she tried to put on a happy face and get back to the happy Mina she used to be. But her thoughts still plagued her so. Why was it so hard to just pretend it didn't affect her so, but she couldn't pretend anymore, could she?

Walking past the full compartment after full compartment, she came to one with its door open and a lone person. It looked quiet, but she didn't want to intrude at all on the person inside. Maybe they too wanted to be alone and wouldn't want the intrusion. Biting her lip, she reached up and knocked on the door jam. "Um....hi. Do you mind if I join you?" she asked.

camille ryans♥ · 05-02-2010, 04:09 PM

Camile Entered the back of the train and found it a bit awkward;for she knew no one yet. she envied few of the kids who already got friends. so she just looked for an empty compartment, and luckily found one. there, she turned on her ipod,and listened to her playlist.Leaning her head,feeling comfortable;Slowly she closed her eyes, and getting lost in her own little crazy world. silently she sang with it..hoping that no one would notice her.

"Ohhh, those classes sound good. I also really want to take Care of Magical Creatures!" Magnolia said excitedly. She nodded when Ainra told her bout the drama at her old school. "Yeah, right before i got into Hogwarts, there was a lot of really bad drama at my school too and when i didnt get involved people stopped talking to me" Magnolia frowned. Ugh she was glad to be as far away from that as possible!

Magnolia saw a girl walk by the door to the compartment with an ipod. She looked really lost. "Hey, i'm going to see if she ants to join us" Magnolia said to Ainra smiling.
She stuck her head out and said, "excuse me, would you like to sit with us?"

AlwaysDance · 05-02-2010, 04:12 PM

I jump on the train. Wonder where Miles is.

"I'm not sure about Care of Magical Creatures." Ainra said. "I might take it but I'm not positive." Ainra noticed a girl enter a compartment alone. "I'll be right back." She told Magnolia and left the compartment. She knocked on the compartment of the other girl. "Want to join us?" She asked.

magnolia · 05-02-2010, 04:22 PM

Magnolia smiled, she was glad she had met someone like Ainra who seemed to be mature enough to not get caught up in silly childish things. "Come on in! Whats your name?" she asked the new girl.

Ainra smiled at Magnolia, and let the new girl go into the compartment before her, closing the door behind her.

"Not at all." Ainra said. "What are you listening to anyways?" Ainra loved music, she had learned to play the piano when she was little, and now adored alternative rock muggle bands. She was very curious about wizard music.

Evan, a little bit calmed down now that he was Marie-free and had a time for his own, opened his eyes at a voice he didn't recognise. He didn't recognise the face either, but it surely wasn't a newbie. He was caught off guard, and he had to think for a second before answering. "Not at all, come in." he said as he straightened up. He then thought maybe it was better if he was alone. But the girl looked like quiet and nice. And she apparently couldn't find anywhere else to sit, or why disturbing him? No harm could be done by making another acquaintance, if not a friend.

"I'm Evan Cartwright." he said with a small smile. His smile was small, because that was all he could offer in this miserable mood. Hopefully the girl was friendly, and distract him for a while from his thoughts of his parents and Marie.

"OH, a muggle band actually, not really a band but.." Camille was fascinated, because the other girl sounded interested. "Owl city.." she grinned. do you know them.??." she asked, hoping that she`s not confused or the like.

"oh!" Magnolia said, "Are you muggleborn too?" she asked, excited at the prospect of meeting someone in the same position as herself. She new the band Owl City from her old school, and life she thought frowning slightly.

Kevin smiled at Cedes and said "Nice to meet you, I am Kevin McKay, 5th year Slytherin" Kevin was glad to be meeting new people at last and hoped that he would be able to keep all his friends for a long time
