Selena grinned. "Did you really have to ask?" she asked as she hugged Maddie. Ah, she wanted Emma here too!! Where was Emma? One moment they were here, the next moment... poof!

"Ravenclaw." She said with a smile. "You?" She asked.

Somehow, the silence between them was a bit...annoying. And so was the distance. Perhaps she should slow her pace down? Wait, then he'd think she was slow and might get impatient. Besides, she didn't like to walk slow unless the view was worth looking at. The only thing right now worth looking at though was Poof and...Josh. Who was behind her.

She should've let him walk ahead first. Since, for one, obviously she could stare at him in a non creepy stalker-ish way, and two, she had no idea what his luggage or trunk looked like. Or where exactly he had placed them. Hopefully he spoke up though sooner or later to tell her where they were.

....

Wooaaaahhhh. Hold up. Stopping in her step, Evelyn backtracked to look into the compartment she just passed. Marie was there, and so was...Patroclus. Raising a brow, she stared at the Slytherin before turning her head towards Josh. "Where did you say your trunk was again?"

Conan started to pick up different kinds of chocolate , enjoying every piece of them . "Thank you , they are delcecious " he said while opening a Kitkat bar " Is Sel a Hogwarts student ? " he asked .
" My school year was perfect , very stuffed with materials but it was fun , alot of fun indeed . " he replied for her question " I don't believe it was over so quickly ." ... " oooh yeah, the Diagon Alley shops are closed I read that on the Daily prophet as well ."

Thanks she said to both the girls, taking the slips of paper and saving them on her blackberry, before sending a text to her mother and father, telling them that they were on the train, she then put the blackberry on vibrate and placed it in her bag

Maddie laughed as she sat herself back on the seat and offered Sel one of the many chocolate frogs lying on the table in the middle of the compartment.
'No, probably not,' she said, taking another bite of hers. 'Oh, this is Conan, by the way. Conan, Selena. Selena, Conan. You're both Slythies'

'No problem. I'm happy to share' she said graciously, moving them over so there was a bit more room on the table 'And yes, she is. She's the one who just tackle-hugged me to the floor' she replied, grinning 'I know. How strange... Pygmy Puffs. Odd, how they got in. Maybe they escaped from Magical Menagarie...'

Following the girl, Josh was still thinking about the bad Slytherins that his mum knew and the good Slytherins he knew. So far the only evil person he had seen was Stutters. The Gryffindor did not know if he was a pureblood or not yet it was an undeniable fact that he was not a Slytherin.

Plus two of his best friends were Slytherins and...Was not this enough!? In order to avoid thinking further about this bad Slytherin - good Slytherin stuff the boy shoke his head and walked faster to catch up with Evelyn ''Slow down hun. I remember putting my trunk in...'' but when he realised that the girl had already stopped looking at...somewhere. ''What are you looking at?''

With a curious expression he took a few steps towards her and before answering her question he peeked at where he thought she was looking at, where Marie and Patroclus were sitting together. ''Well...as i said before'' or tried to say before ''...it should be in that compartment'' and he moved towards the compartment next to the one Marie and Patroclus were occupying.

"Uh huh..." Staring at the two in the compartment, her eyes flickered from between Marie and Patroclus...and then back to Marie again. Surely, nothing was going on. Just a talk it looked like, and Marie even looked upset.

....

........

What were they doing in the compartment!? Was this why Marie hadn't gone to find her or Destiny at the beginning of the train ride!? HMM? Hearing that Josh's trunk should be in the next compartment, Evelyn suddenly realized the scowl that was on her face. Oh boy... walking forward, she almost tore open the door before entering the room, seeing that no girls were in it. Good, it better stay that way.

Plopping herself down on the seat, the maneuvered her head so it looked like it was resting on the wall, however...she was really trying to listen in to the conversation in the next compartment of there's. "These are yours right?" she asked, gesturing to the luggage on the ground before smiling sweetly up to Josh. Perhaps, they could hang here for a little while longer.

Smiling back at Lexi, Jake held back from nuzzling Wasabi's face and stuff. That would have been a bit forward; he barely knew the creature.

"I hhave my owl, Fuhh-fly... but hhhe's a bbbit of a lllloner. Once he ffflew to Suhh-seattle and bbback," Jake added, shaking his head. He'd been soooooo mad at that kid for borrowing Fly and NOT telling Jake where he'd be flying to. "Sssince then... he either sssleeps in the owlery or ssstays on the ffffoot of my bed and goes out to hhhunt. I also have Ch-charlie, my t'ran'chla. He ssstays in my pppocket all the time."

Like right now. Charlie was rarely away from Jake.

Annie woke up from her little sleep when someone called up to her. A girl, maybe one year younger than she was, sat there with her cat?. Anna, smiled at the girl and waved. "Hi...sorry. I am a bit distracted nowadays..." Since...She thought of mentioning it, but she knew she'd burst into tears, and Annie had no intention of that.

iSigh.

Leilani smiled. "That's alright, it was pretty empty in here." Empty didn't work for her, no siree. The girl looked upset. Hmm.

Lani knew better than to ask her about it. Besides, she might've thought she was being rude. She needed to know one little teeny thing though. "I'm Leilani, you are?" Oh yes, names were very important.

Annie grinned back, trying to not look rude. After all, she needed to talk to more people, meet them. Life was sure going to be boring afterwards, since Torin was going to be absent the next term and her relationship with Drew had broken up.

"Anna Robles, but you can call me Annie...nice to meet you Leilani..." That was a long name, and hard to pronounce. "Is there a shortcut for your name, because as you heard, I have a weird accent, and I def don't want to mess up your name..." She mentioned with a giggle.

Leilani giggled. "Nice to meet you Annie." Hmm, like a nickname?? "You can call me Lani if that helps any." People did tend to mess up her name... Aww that was nice. "Your accent isn't that weird." she assured Annie. Hey, she was American. There, practically everyone had an accent.

Pfft, love for the good and bad. She could handle some bad but she would NOT deal with Kay. "But he's taking her to Russia with him for the summer... and he talked to her about his summer plans BEFORE he even told me what he was doing. Am I just supposed to accept the fact that my boyfriend is in another country for the whole summer with the one person that I really and truly hate?" No, she was not going to accept it, she was not going to think it was okay. "I mean why is it okay for him to ask me to stop being friends with someone but it's not okay for me to do the same thing?"

Sacrifices? Carter didn't seem to be making any at all. "I'm not asking him to change for me. I'm just asking him to understand how I feel but that seems to be too much for him." Oh yeah, she understood what he meant. "Yeah, I understand. I understand that I was a fool to think he could care about me as much as I care about him." She laid her head back on her knees and just stared out the window.

Why did loving Carter have to hurt so much?

"Oh!"

Patroclus hadn't realised that Carter was taking Kay to Russia with him. Sure he thought it was fine for them to be friends, but travelling together, and originally unbeknownst to his girlfriend, Patroclus now understood Maries obvious distress.

He needed to make Marie see the situtation from a different angle, "OK, I can see why that would hurt, but the question is do you trust Carter? Do you think he would ever destory what you two have? Kay may be there with him in the flesh, but you will be there in his heart!" The boy was surprising himself, he had no idea where his words were coming from. Perhaps Lawso had charmed him at the feast; give him the ability to be a counsellor.

"And seriously, Marie, Kay has nothing on you!" the boy said with a smile, as a flash of dark flowing hair, made his eyes flick to the corridor outside their compartment.

Lani. Much better. Annie actually let out a sigh of relief when she heard the nickname. "Nice, because I have this weird way of saying names, like not emphasizing a lot..." Nah nah. She liked her accent a lot. But it gave her problems when she called to her friends.

"American, I guess." She recognized Lani's accent. Emiliano was stuck with that accent since he arrived from Manhattan. "I'm from Spain, so...the weird tongue mixes."

Josh halted for a second again when Evelyn seemed to be in a rush to open the door or was he too slow to act before she did?

*Blink.Blink*

No, he was not slow and the matter of who opened the door first was not something to think over that much. It was again his brain who played with him and he hated it. He hated thinking over everything in such details.

So, in order to focus his attention on something else instead of the stupid ideas and thoughts in his brain for who knew how many times, he looked back at the girl then at his trunk right after stepping in the empty compartment. ''Looks like they decided to kick themselves out the compartment'' since the trunk was there looking all in safe and one piece. ''Good for them.''

Lily-anne sighed and rooted in her bag for some form of etertainment she finally found her ipod and put the head phones in her ear before letting Paramore blast. she let her head fall back onto the seat behind her and closed her eyes, stroking the cat on her lap.

Matt walked arm in arm with Tori down the train, trying to find a compartment that wasn't occupied. Even though he knew clearly that there was a certain line not to be crossed, he wouldn't particularly like someone intruding on their privacy, even if it was just a brief kiss on the cheek.

And dawdling behind at the Hogwarts station clearly didn't help in sparing compartments.

He still couldn't believe that he was about to go home for a blissful summer, then go back to the school to start his N.E.W.T cramming. And also his last year as a Hogwarts student. Did time really pass that quickly? The sixth years he spent at the school didn't leave the slightest drop of ink on his mind - minus the pages with Tori involved, of course. She had truly made his life memorable.

Ah ha! Success. thought he. They have finally located what they were looking for. Breaking out of their handholding, Matt opened the door for his g-girlfriend (he still had difficulty saying that word, even in his mind), "After you."

Having already rapidly moved her attention back to trying to listen in to the conversation in the next compartment, but finding it practically impossible since for one, Josh was in the room and it was hard to concentrate and two, did they make these walls thicker or something? She couldn't hear a thing!

She did however, hear what Josh had said. Slowly turning her gaze to the Gryffindor, with her eyebrows raised in surprise, she tried to hide the smile that was successfully making it's way onto her lips as a few snickers that escaped her...suddenly turned into a laugh. "Good for them..." she repeated him, glancing down at his trunk and stuff before shaking her head. Why was she trying to spy on Marie and Patroclus? Josh was here. She should be paying attention to him. Besides, it was rude not to.

No matter how hard she tried though, she couldn't get the image of Marie and Patroclus together. It was almost...getting under her skin. Distraction! Need it..now. After her laughter subsided, Evelyn moved on the seat so her feet were back on the ground and she was facing the Gryffindor boy in front of her. "So..." So, she could think of nothing to say.

Did Josh grow this year? He seemed taller...

"Welcome." she said to Amy. "So are you aiming for prefect and head girl?" she asked.

Turning to Delilah, Dianna smiled. "Slytherin." she said.

Umm Amy thought, floundering, um I, I dunno, maybe, maybe not, I dunno if I could get it to be honest, she finished, you?

Selena smiled. "It's nice to meet you Conan," she said as she took the chocolate frog happily. "Thanks Maddie," she said with a grin. Selena loved he sugar and now that Maddie was giving her sugar, she loved Maddie too! Wait, she had already loved Maddie loads... She petrified the frog and then bit the head off. No, she was not evil. It was just fun. Hehehe.

"So... you two looking forward to the summer?" she asked. She then finished off the rest of the chocolate frog. Yum.

"Maybe.." she said. "Honestly I don't know either.."
"So what was your favorite subjects?" she asked.

Leilani smiled. "Oh okay." she nodded as Annie explained why her accent was so strange. She spoke like one other language, and it wasn't very well. She could get by with it though. Thankfully speaking English wasn't a problem for her.

Amy giggled quietly, they had only just finished their first year and Dianna was already thinking about prefectory, she grinned as she thought, I loved quiditch, and defence against the dark arts, charms and...ooo she said deciding on her final favourite, transfiguaration, she smiled, she loveeedd transfiguaration, you?
