"Well, I have my own, but yours look much better! Thanks." He took a sandwich. "Can't wait to get to Hogwarts!"

Arabella-Marie nodded and said "Yeah i suppose your right Ginny"

Pearl had packed her things on board and sighed, sitting at the back of the train. She'd wanted to sit by there, watching through a sad-gaze as she left her muggle-world behind. Pearl looked out the window, smiling at some of the kids that were in lines, waiting on the platform to go on the train. They too, were on another adventure. Perhaps she wasn't the only one scared... perhaps, she wasn't the only one clueless... perhaps, she wasn't the only one ready to leave her entire world behind.

Alex opened up his friendly side. He sat up and put his arms down to his side. His tone turned kind as he was getting used to these people. They were nice. "Yeah. This is my first year, I transfered from the New York School of Magic-"

"Alright, American boy." Alex said happily. He looked over to the girl, awaiting her name. Alex knew that he was going to have a hard time winning her over Salander. But, a Hound never gives up. If he wanted the girl, then gosh darnit he was going to get her. But, Salander seemed cool. he didn't want to get on his bad side.

" " I am fine" Rex told Ginny. "Well, always fancy, right?" Rex asked Ginny. Ready for HogWarts?" Rex asked Ginny.

" Hi cutie" Rex told Fee. " I could use a compartment, thanks" Rex said to Fee.

" How are you?" Rex asked the girl " Looks like you are very strong" Rex told the girl. " My name is Rex Trigwell and I have declared myself the unofficial greeter on the trian" he laughed. " Ready for Hogwarts?" Rex asked her.

" Just passing by here" Rex told Carson. " Nice to see you" Rex said to Carson. " Just wanted to say hi" Rex explained to Carson.

"Well, look who is on the train, " Pearl of RavenClaw" Rex smiled." Why are you so sad?" Rex asked Pearl. " I still owe you that dance" Rex told Pearl. "What dance s do you like?" Rex asked Pearl.

CLONE TWO.

Callie eye'd the girls book. Did everyone like to read ? Reading was gross, so Callie thought. It involved concerntration on fakeeee people. It was absouloutly pointless. People got all focused on people's lives and we're all like 'awww I feel so sorry for them' when they weren't even real people. She sighed rolling her eyes at the girl. If she was gonna sit there and read this could be a boring train journey.

She giggled as the girl grunted. Because Grunting was funny, just like snorting and it made Callie giggled. She nodded as the girl said she was French. "Cool." sorta. "I'm...American." If she hadn't already guessed by the accent. "Oh I wasn't worrying." why would she be ? She didn't care if the girl spoke Italian really.

Awesome. She was going to let him kiss her again. He liked that. Although he also had a feeling that he would like to be going soon, go find Mia...or someone who actually wanted to snog him. Smiling at her, he rested his hand on her cheek, softly, before leaning in to kiss her again. It was more of a friendly kiss this time, like a peck, because he really couldn't be bothered this time. It was Sadie's loss. Once he was satisifed, he pulled back, gave her one last hug, and stood up. "I hope you sort it out with that guy..." He grinned at her, before leaving to find someone else to snog...

This was certainly a long train ride. Mia had never gone to any place that had taken so long to get to. She had decided to leave her compartment and take a walk down the train in the hopes of finding someone she knew.

Although she liked meeting new people that last guy with the crush on the girl had been slightly too weird for her. As she walked she peeked into the compartments to see if there was anyone she knew.

When she was almost at the end of the train, Mia spotted a familiar figure walking out of a compartment and a huge grin spread across her face. She stood in the middle of the corridor so that he would not miss her as he tried to walk past.

Now this was slowing down more and more. "Yeah, your completly right", she said to Bradin. She didn't look anymore at him. She couldn't. "I want to, what do you want to talk about?", she said.

Ginny smiled at Arabella-Marie. "I guess", she said to her.

"That's good", she said to Rex. "Yeah, I always fancy", she said to laughing to Rex. "Yes I am and you?", she answered him.

American boys? Well, that was slightly different. She had heard of the Salem academy but not the New York school. At least she knew where New York was, so she had the general idea of where this guy was coming from. However, enough about schools, the no name had a name! Bahaha, and she was all for calling him American boy like Alex had called him but…

Salander had a nice ring to it as well. Seeing him offer his hand, Evelyn hesitated for a moment before taking it with her own, if only just barely. This still violated her whole space issues thing, but at least it wasn’t a hug or anything. "Evelyn." She said, before taking her hand back, not bothering with the last name issue. Sitting back in the seat, the Slytherin stared at the two of them with an amused expression, tapping her foot in the air just to pass the time. "So…America. What made you two decide to come all the way over here then? Especially in the middle of your education as it looks like."

Surely these two weren’t first years. Or second years. They looked more like fourth years or older. Perhaps they were on the run from American authority? Hehe, now that would be a story to hear.

"It was nothing. I was glad to help." Kay said smiling at her friend. Looking out the window. She sees Daisy's dad. "So how are you both holding up with your mum gone?" She asked. She was worried about her friend. "You do look happier. I can't wait to get to school." She said looking out the window. She wished there was someone for her to wave to. But with who her parents were now. What wouldn't happen.

Looking up Kay saw Rex standing in the door way. "Hi. Sure I would like some company. Daisy wouldnt mind either." She said moving over for him to sit. "Where'd you get off to anyway. We all come to the train at the sometime." She said smiling at Rex. "Ginny's coming over here to when she done talking to some friends of her's." She told him as he started talking to someone in the hall way and then walked away. Well so much for sitting together she thought looking at Daisy and then back out the window.

Norah slipped through the narrow hallway as quietly as possible. There were so many other students around....
She peeked into a couple of compartments, seeing that they were full or occupied already and continued her way down the train. Melvyn , her cat, was now tailing Norah rather closely. His long tail held high.

Norah looked back at the cat, "Why don't you go find somewhere if I'm holding you up so much?" It was odd that the girl spoke to her pet as though he were human, but then again lots of people probably did the same thing.

The cat trotted ahead and slipped inside a compartment, whos door was left open just a crack.
"Get back here! I didn't mean it!" Norah hissed as Melvyn disappeared from view. Why did it seem like animals could understand you only at the worst times?
She knocked on the door and slid it open some more. But there was no other student inside.
Melvyn sat on one of the seats closest to the window, his front paws resting on the narrow window frame. He looked at Norah with a familiar face and then continued to look outside.

Norah closed the compartment door behind her and sat down opposite of Melvyn, bringing the bag she had brought farther into the train along with her closer. 'So this is the train to school.' The girl thought and looked around the compartment. It was smaller than she had imagined, but at least it was empty.
Her cat slid down from his seat and settled himself on Norah's lap, purring loudly.
'At least I have you along with me.' Norah thought as Melvyn looked up at her and closed his eyes, seemingly very proud of himself. The girl stroked his fur and sighed, sitting back a little more in her seat.

Lexi frowned slightly. She knew Dylan wanted to compete in the Triwizard Tourney... she had never thought much about it's bloody history. Although she knew about it, everyone did. This worried her immensely. "Yeah... maybe it's not for everyone," she said offhandedly as she fidgeted a bit. She had decided to let the conversation about non existent troublemaking drop, she had no desire to relive the battle with Raiden.

Then Lexi's frown deepened. "Fine, I suppose I will just have to beat him up everytime he comes around manhandling me then," she chuckled and gave a sideways glance at Jakers. She knew she hadn't beaten him up per se, but she had kicked him in his junk. So yeah...



Lexi beamed at Jake even though she thought it was a bad idea for him to go up against Dylan again. I mean... for some reason it seemed like Dylan was a beast. With all of that girlly hair one would think differently. Heh. "I am not going to let him run about ruining my term, that is for sure. I just hope he sees that I am not as little as he thinks I am," she said with a pout. She HATED being treated like she was too young to do things. It was infuriating.

CLONE ONE.

Jack was wondering what he'd actually done that made him become Rhea's favourite Slytherin. Of course, there was the obvious; gorgeous, funny, an honor to be around. But, he hadn't really known her for that long, so he couldn't really put his finger on it. Unless, he just left it to the reasons he had already just gone through in his mind. "That's very sweet of you darling, thankyou." Jack smiled, not bothering to think about why anymore. It was just because he was amazing. "And you're my favourite Hufflepuff." Okay, so she was only thins by default, because he didn't know any other Huffies, but she didn't need to know that.

He raised an eyebrow when she mentioned about a challenge. To be the favourite Slytherin of a pretty girl, he would do a lot. Not anything, but quite a few things. "I'm sure you won't find any other Slytherin better than me."

Oh, so now there were more than one girl talking about himself? This was interesting. Must be the Jack Riding Fan Club, he had always assumed that he had one, and he was right. Mwahaha. Maybe it was the one Callie had said she would start if made a Callie Parker Fan Club? Oh dear, he hadn't even started that one, and Callie had already got members and they were spreading rumours about how awesome he was when it came to women? Whoopsie. "Uuuuh, yes it is. But you didn't answer my question." Jack cocked his head to the side a little and stared at her. Maybe the distraction meant that she thought he was ugly. Oh no! "Is it because it's not going to be a nice answer, love? Because I think you'd be an awesome ... man charmer. If you call it that." Again, not very good with compliments.

"Why is it good to know, Miss Bellaire?" Jack wasn't sure if she was hinting to anything, because he was never very good at figuring that out.



CLONE TWO.

"Oh. Well, I still believe in coincidence." jack just said this because he didn't want Cosette thinking that had actually stalked her. Jack Riding didn't stalk women, even if they were incredibly stunning and had an accent that make you easily become wrapped around her little finger; women stalked Jack. Blatantly.

Okay, so sometimes Cosette really did spell out what she wanted in terms of smooching sessions, which annoyed Jack sometimes. Because yes, he was in his own little bubble, but when someone mentioned kissing, he unserstood every single word they were saying. "Well, I'm dazzlingly handsome, everybody knows that." Jack smirked at her, wondering if that's all she needed if she were to analyze I guy to see if he were to be good enough for her. Oh of course he was. So, he leaned in two kiss her again, the second time since they had met. This time he was going to keep it a little longer, as last time they were in a busy street in Diagon Alley, where here, their compartment was emptyyyyy.

Arabella-Marie sighed and said "When are we going to be at Hogwarts" she was already getting pretty hungry

Bradin looked down at his faintly tanned arms. He smiled at the now totally plain skin that covered his bones. "I honestly have no idea" he said. He was shocked at how love had cleared up all of his injuries. Did this actually mean love would lift the curse too? He hoped so. If so, then he and Enya were sure to lift the curse together.

Cosette rested an elbow on the wall, scratching the side of her head, making her hair start to get messed up. Fluffing it out with both of her hands, she kept her eyes on him, making sure not o break eye contact. She didn't want to look rude and not be listening to what he was saying. When she got her hair situated to a wavy wild look, she nodded to him, a small smile on her lips. He really was something. Good looks, confidence, an adorable accent to boot. Oh and that ego. She had seen it with every guy she had met so far. Was it just all the British boys who had it? Was it in the water or something? "You are quite dashing. Hot and spicy, I might say." What a compliment.

Smiling, she shrugged her delicate shoulders. "I was merely jesting, I was actually about to take a small na-" She had no idea he would actually take her words to heart. He leaned in, breaking her sentence by kissing her now. Well, they were out of prying eyes, which was nice. Fluttering her eyes closed, she kissed him back, gently and with care. She wasn't going to go and scare him off or anything. Plus, ladies were gentle and harmless. Moving her hands up, she wrapped them up around his neck, making sure not to mess up his hair. Or was that Fletcher's thing? They looked almost identical.

Iris looked at Jimbo curiously, with a sceptical frown as he announced that he had to go get more candy. "Uh... Oh." Iris blinked a couple of times. "Um ... okay."

There was enough candy to feed an ARMY twice over in there compartment!

She just watched him as he rushed off; and then in turn got tackled by Leilani. She watched them for a minute and reeeeally tried to ignore the peculiar tingling in her tummy. It was like ... a bad tingly feeling. Not a good one. It was only Jimbo ... and it was only Leilani. Jimbo did look less... freaked out by being that close to Leilani than he was with her. And that kinda hurt in a weird way.

Trying to block them from her view, Iris turned to the first year.

Iris smiled and pulled herself up with the help of the first year. "We're in this one just here," The older slytherin said, indicating two doors down.

"I'm Iris, by the way. Jimbo calls me Monty though, just so you know when he comes back." She smiled kindly at her.

And then she realised that they'd left Pebbles in there. "Damn. C'mon, I need to check something." Iris hurried back into the compartment, and holding onto the door still, she looked down at the seat where Pebbles was before.

Wow, that's lucky. The turtle was still there. Iris walked into the compartment and scooped the little fella up. "This," She said, turning to the first year, "is Pebbles the Turtle. He belongs to Jimbo, the boy who was with me before."

She then brushed off the now-empty sweet wrappers and sat down. Then she gestured to the seat for the first year.

Brooke looked around and found a compartment that was empty. 'I'll sit in here' she thought. She was hoping she'd meet some new friends, the only person she'd met was Cass from DA but she couldn't see him around anywhere.

''Yea me too! I'm so excited!''said Jacqueline and she took a magazine and started to read.

august gets in cabin at the back of the train hoping to make a new friend

Hehe so he thought it was sweet of her eh? Just sweet though? Hmph, she wasn't about to settle for just that now was she? Savannah said go for it and that's exactly what she was planning to do, without having to admit liking him..if that made sense. Well she thought it did. And he really was becoming her favourite slytherin...guy of course. Art had been her favourite once but he left, and well, no she wanted another favourite and Jack was to be it, so there.
"Well it seems we're even on favourites then love.." Yep she used back his own word on him. Smirk. Though he was new so she was wondering just how many hufflepuffs he had met in such a short time. Oh well she wouldn't question it. She had no quarrels with being favourite.

She chuckled. Oh so he doubted there being another Slytherin as awesome and handsome as he was. That was left to be seen though as the term hadn't even started yet.
"I admire your confidence but that is yet to be seen Riding." She smirked.

Oh no so she hadn't escaped totally from his question. She was backed against the wall so to speak and didn't know how else to get away, bleh. Just her luck. She should just give up and write a book "Rhea's 1001 way to be embarrassed." And now he was looking at her..intently. Was it just her or was it getting like uber hot in the compartment. She looked at her wand and nervously twirled it between her thumb and index.
"No..it's not because the answer is bad...it's because I do think you are and nowI'mtotallyembarrassed and it's your fault Jack Riding!" Ok so she was embarrassed major and her voice had almost squeaked at the end there. Greeeeat, but at least he thought she was too. Gosh her ears must be ruby red at the moment.

She looked up at him when he asked why it was good to know. Wasn't it obvious? She wanted to be close..er..to him and she wanted to...ok so she wasn't thinking anymore and he was already so close she might as well just go for it and hope for the best and so she did...leaning in to him she kissed him softly and rather quickly, then looked away totally embarassed.

Louisa reached the back of the train and still hasn't found any compartment to sit in. She dragged her backpack with one hand and held her cat's basket in the other. She wasn't actually looking for a place to sit, because there were plenty. She was looking for a certain person. Someone who'd not annoy her by asking why her eyes so puffy and red. Someone who would understand her bad mood. And only one name came to her mind; Enya.

She kept walking forward looking for the girl. She has to be somewhere! She's going to Hogwarts for sure! Louisa thought.

'I would love to be as excited as you. I'm too nervous to think about happiness.' Lil was always a nervous wreck, in Muggle school she always went into panic mode at a test and if she had to hand in homework for whatever. 'What blood type are you then, if you don't mind me asking?'

Enya stumbled though the train, she was really bored sitting in the same place at the same time. Her legs were dead. Not good. So she stumbled towards the back of the train, best place to start when she wanted a wuick walk. Besides doubt there's going to be anyone she knew. No more awkward comversation's. GAH! she hated those, her last one - with Louisa - had been really awkward.

Enya stepped though part of the back of the train, looking around for no one in particular. She was after all only on a walk. Sigh. She was certainly bored. She actually couldn't wait till she got to Hogwarts. It was like a home to her, one she herself had never really had.
