Selena nodded and wished quietly to herself that time would slow down. Just a bit so that the last term wouldn't fly by as quickly as this one had. Her eyes peered out the window, just to sneak a glance at how far, or close, they were to their destination. Then again, she was never good with distances. "I know," she said smiling as the little fluffball walked over to Selena.

Her violet eyes flickered down to the kneazle on her lap and she giggled a bit. "Do you think he'd mind if I pet him?" Selena asked. It looked like it wanted to be pet! But she didn't want to be slashed across the face or something, that would really hurt.

Hmm... "I'll definitely ask Carlton about those next term, then." Cuz... she'll be there. She was only going to Hawaii for the summer. She knew that now. Ellie laughed. Pesky feathers.

Ellie took the frog from the box and bit off its head. She pulled out the card and examined it. "Merlin." she answered. He seemed to be in a lot of them. She cast the card aside. She looked back at Nia as she was talking, but quickly looked down again. Why? Because they weren't on the train home for the summer. Not all of them. But she was just going to ignore that little tid-bit. "Not particularly. Do you?"

She soon smiled again. "No, you could NOT be sleeping. I wouldn't have it." Heh. Happy time time, Ellie. Happy time. And she kept her voice cheerful, and planned to for the rest of the ride. Happy. That.

A feeling of sadness hit her as she boarded the train. It reminded her of when term had just started and she had screamed her head off at Fletcher and snogged Finn. Now wasn't the time to be feeling depressed. Going back to the US meant a lot of things.

One, she was going to see her half-brother and biological dad this summer, and two, no she wasn't coming back next year. Sighh....that made her REALLY SAD, but she couldn't help but anticipate how her last year of wizarding school was going to be.

She opened the door to an empty compartment and heaved her trunk up on the rack then sat down and ran a hand through her new hair. The hair was what she had to get used to. Sadie was still Sadie no matter how different she looked. The girl pulled out her cell phone and texted Evan that she was on her way home. Then she put it on the seat and looked out the window.

Fletcher had strolled all the way through the train, from its tail end to the head, stopping in a few compartments, chatting with old friends, networking, etc. until he reached the front. He made it to the last compartment before the driver and stopped... and stared.

"What did you DO to your HAIR?" Fletcher yanked open the door to the compartment, still staring at Sadie as he invited himself in to lounge on the seat opposite her. Seriously, dude. Was it even possible to make your hair DO that??

Maybe it was a wig.

After staring thoughtfully out the window, she heard the door open up and someone start freaking out. That almost gave her a heart attack and she jumped a foot off her seat. Oh my lanta! GRRR! Whoever just made her jump was gonna get----

She paused after seeing who was now before her. "Excuse me?!" Sadie snapped with attitude. Of course it was Fletcher who criticized her new hair. "Do you not like it or something?" she questioned, towering over him with her arms crossed.

"What I mean, is," Fletcher quickly backtracked, trying not to cower when Sadie leaned over him like she was getting ready to throw a mean punch, "it looks nice? And... hello?"

He put on a cheery little smile just for her.

Dianna walked through the jam packed corridors of the Express. She was trying to find her brother (or at least someone to sit with). It was definitely hard to find a free seat when EVERYONE seems to be doing the same thing as her.
After stumbling a few times, she reached a compartment where she saw her good friend Selena with her bf. If only it wasn't necessary to sit down she'll be happy to find another compartment to join. But cases were she needed to sit before anyone else steps on her foot or break her bones or whatever. She slid the compartment door and smiled. "Hey guys..Sorry to disturb..Can I come in?" she asked in a feeble manner.

She followed Rex to the front of the train. Occasionally he would stop and call out 'CHOCLATE FROGS' but she stayed right there almost like a stalking little puppy or groupie. Which wasnt her. "So Rex, whats your story? have youd done anything intresting?"

Sadie's arms dropped after seeing Fletcher looking a little fearful. She plopped back down on her seat. "Who am I kidding?" she began looking at him. "It's horrible and not me." She took her wand and held it in front of her face and pulled it across. Her old hair slowly came back into view.

She smiled at him and shook her hair out. "Don't worry...the hair wasn't to be serious. Just a trial." She needed a persons reaction before she actually decided to kill her curls like that. It was lucky he didn't see her running around as a brunette the other day....

Selena looked up when the door opened, raising her head and hoping she didn't wake up Stark. "Oh, hey Dianna," Selena said with a smile as she sat up properly and swept her hair away from her face. "Of course you can!" Selena exclaimed. Because what type of friend would she be if she let people run one of her besties over? Uhm... not a very good one. Duh.

"Well, I'm not sure if you two know each other..." Selena started, "Dianna meet Diggy, my boyfriend," she said, "Diggy, meet Dianna, she's one of my best friends," Selena finished. And she felt tempted to go say : MEET STARK! out loud but she had a feeling that the kneazle wouldn't appreciate it...

Aiden was just wandering along the train. He had been sitting for too long and he needed to stretch his legs. People can get blood clots if they sit too long. Yep. Well... he wasn't sitting there long enough for that to happen, but.... Oh, lordy. He seriously needed to control the tangents his mind would go off on. He shoved his hands into his pockets and glanced through a few of the windows to see if he'd spot any friends.

He snuggled closer to her and was quiet for a few minutes. Sometimes they didn't have to say anything. They could just be for awhile each other. He closed his eyes for a minute. "Is your mom going to freak out about the ring?" he asked.

He shrugged, "This is Stark's show. Though he doesn't bite or claw. He will just jump off your lap and yowl at you." Stark was a total priss but he was never violent.

He looked up at the girl Selena introduced him too. "Nice to meet you." he said with an easy smile on his face. He pulled his feet off the seat across from him so she would have somewhere to sit.

"Thanks." she managed to say as she slid in and sat beside Diggy. Finally, no more stampede.
She smiled and waved at the boy who was siting beside her. "Hey Diggy." she said. She felt kind of weird and guilty for (kind of) ruining their moment. She then noticed a fluffy kneazle looking around. "How cute!" she hoped that it wasn't aggressive though...

Jacob ran down the train, taking quick peeks in compartments. He needed to find someone who would help him. Its Them! They were following him... Laughing, WHY WERE THEY LAUGHING. It's not funny!

Jacob reached the front compartments and they were still laughing... they needed to stop laughing. They were going to drive him mad! Why! Why were they following him. Suddenly he passed a compartment where he saw 2 familliar people. He went to a sudden stop, and slammed open the door, ran in and shut it. He looked out of the window and saw THEM pass by, still laughing. He breathed hard and slid down the door and sat on the ground, out of breath.

Jacob looked up at the two. "Giant. Flying. Laughing. Hot Dogs." he said taking a breathes between each word, after calming a bit he looked around, and back at the two. "That Horrible Mustard, That Evil Ketchup, That Menacing Relish." he looked down and back up again. "So Much sauerkraut, So. Much. Sauerkraut." Twitch

Selena smiled as Diggy snuggled up to her. She liked it when he did and all that. Selena thought about what he said for moment. "She probably will but I've never really been one to care about what she say," Selena poibted out. She didn't mind, besides what was the the worst thing she'd do?

Selena was relieved to hear that and placed one hand on the furball. Ooh... Soft. Shw started the pet the kneazle's back. Good kneazle...

Selena smiled, noting the awkwardness between them. Uhmmm... "So, anyone want chocolate? Not for me of course, I've had loads," she said happily. Because what better waybtocbreak the ice besides sugar?

Fletcher watched, his mouth hanging open just a bit, as Sadie changed her hair back to normal with just a little simple wandwork.

"It's not horrible," he reassured her slowly, "it's just not... you? I mean, I ALMOST didn't recognize you. So, you know, you could always use it as a disguise if you ever had to go into hiding or on the run for any reason."

Trust Fletcher to think of that. He nodded a little and sat up on his side of the compartment. "So are you looking forward to summer? And next school year?" He sure was!

There was this awkward silence where Diana thought she's the only one who noticed it. Good thing Sel had the courage to speak up first, though she was content in just staring out the window for the rest of the ride.
"Ermm..sure I guess.." Di giggled. She knew that Selena+Sugar=Madness. "So..I can't believe we'll be returning as third years the next time we'll be seeing each other!" she exclaimed. And they'll be thirteen as well..

Sadie smiled softly as he said it wasn't horrible. Yeah she was having a difficult time trying to figure out a new look. She laughed and said, "Good idea....you never know when I'll have to go into hiding because of my fooling around with the dark arts," she teased, sitting up straighter.

When was she ever going to go into disguise? He had a point..kind of?

She looked over at him as he came to sit on her side of the compartment. "Definitely this summer," she decided with a nod. Next school year? Ehh....

"Umm....Fletcher..." the blond girl started slowly, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. How was she suppose to put this lightly? "I won't be here next school year," she replied in a very quiet voice. It was loud enough for him to catch it. Her eyes couldn't meet his...

"Waaaait, you do dark arts????" Fletcher kind of slowwwwly did another head-turn-staaaaare move. She WAS joking, right? Not that he really cared either way, but if she was some kind of... dark artist, he would have to ask her to teach him a few things. Just for educational purposes so he could learn to defend himself against them, o'course. *cough*

Now rather absorbed in thoughts of what dark arts Sadie Perdieu could possibly know that he didn't know, Fletcher almost didn't hear her last sentence and carried on talking as if Sadie hadn't said anything at all.

"It's going to be our last term, you know, and we should try to get all the seventh years together to do som---- WHAAAAAAAAAAT????"

Yeah he'd heard it now. "You're... wait... why? Where are you going?!" He gaped at her for a second and then snapped his fingers and stood up, having come to the only logical explanation.

She really was a dark artist.

"I knew it. You ARE going into hiding! It's okay, Sadie, I'll help you. I won't tell the authorities or nothin, and and and I'll cover for you as you get off the Hogwarts Express... I can create a great big diversion so you can slip away unnoticed... heck, I bet I could steal somebody's broomstick from the train so you can just fly off on that.... we'll probably have to disillusion you, too, so the Muggles don't see you flying...."

He started pacing the small compartment, one hand pushing back his hair from his forehead. He hesitated and gave Sadie a sad, serious look. "You should probably change your hair back to the straight thing as well... it's all part of the disguise..."

The girl giggled and said, "Yeah Fletcher, me Sandra Perdieu, really does dark arts stuff," in sarcasm. Actually that really wouldn't surprise some people considering how mean and scary she could be sometimes. Oooh the next hair color look should definitely be something loud and rebellious. Maybe blue and purple or along that idea. Then she could get piercings on her face.

Okay so maybeee not the last one because that would be really scary and she'd look ugly. There was no way she would look ugly!

As she said she wasn't coming back, he was still rambling on about next year and suddenly cried out very loudly. At least she knew this one was coming. Soooo she didn't jump when he jumped up. Sigh....here came the part about missing her so much and yah dah, yah dah, yah dah....

WAIT WHAT?! He thought she was really a dark artist person?! You have got to be kidding----

She listened as he started talking about how he would help her escape since she was doing illegal stuff and create a diversion once they got off the train. Sadie laughed a little and stood up and went to stand right in front of him with a sad expression on her face. "Fletcher stop...." she pressed, putting a hand on his shoulder.

"I'm not breaking the law, but thanks for offering to help me escape if I would have. I'm going home...to South Carolina," she explained. No she wasn't staying long there. Just long enough to pack up everything and go join Evan in Texas. That's where home was now.

Fletcher still wasn't getting the sarcasm. He was a Hufflepuff, not a Ravenclaw, remember? GlitterPuff Hufflejock =/= sharpest tool in the shed.

He absolutely froze when she touched his shoulder, looking down (not very far, because she was tall) at her eyes. "So... you ARE a dark artist but you haven't broken any laws? Yet?" His brow crinkled with absolute confusion and he slowly removed Sadie's hand from his shoulder. "I don't... I don't understand why you're leaving then...."

What did South Carolina have that England and Scotland and Ireland didn't??

Sadie rolled her eyes as the Huffie still did not get the point here. This is what she got for liking him waaay more than she should. Deep breath...do not freak out....

"No I'm not a dark artist for gosh sake," she explained in annoyance. "Why you believed that, I honestly have no idea..." Again this is why the curly headed blond was put into the house of Slytherin. Then she watched as he removed her hand from his shoulder. Hmph...she softly tapped his cheek with her hand, as if giving him a "baby" slap. "Have you forgotten when we used to be way closer than this?" she glared, motioning at the 2 feet between them.

"I'm leaving because I don't need to be here anymore Fletcher...I need to be closer to home. I felt sad without my family. It wasn't a pleasant feeling," she explained to him as best as she could. Sure it wasn't a great story, but it was true chiz and he had better believe it.

"Oh."

That was all Fletcher could say at first, softly as he took a step back from Sadie. She was right, they had been uhhh a LOT closer than that, in more ways than one. He didn't even flinch at the little tap on his cheek and took another step away from her until he slowly sank into the seat back on his side of the compartment.

"You were not happy. Right." He did understand what she was saying, in a way, as he remembered the last time they had spoken in the library. Fletcher rubbed his his hands on his thighs, sighing a little before he looked back up at Sadie and patted the seat beside him for her to sit.

"I will miss you, you know." Even if he had... a lot of other girls to occupy his time, he would miss her terribly. She was the craziest had the best hair out of all of them.

Wait....why were her feet on him now. Finlay Carmicheal was not a foot rest. Although it probably made her more comfortable so he'd let her do it. Though if Lexi did come wandering past, that wouldn't be so good, but he didn't exactly want to upset to girls in a row.

Waaiiit. Flirting. "No!" He pushed her feet off of his legs, and crossed his arms. He wasn't flirting! How could he? Seeing as the girl he loved had just broken him. "Of course not....that is...." Yeah. He didn't finish that sentence, he just frowned instead. Yeah...he had been kind of flirting, but that was what he did. Just flirted and forgot what happened before.

"I'm thinking about her right now..." Which probably wasnt the best thing to say when he was with another girl. "It just kinda sucks, knowing shes on this train and that she doesnt want to see me."

Cameron had had her fair share of rude people. Half the time, she'd been the insolent one, but Trixie's whole 'I'm emo, pity me' grated against Cameron. She sighed, hauling her unsympathetic form towered the seat across from the Blonde watching as she swept away wayward tears.

She looked exhausted as she watched the sixth year cry. She wasn't the type to Molly-coddle and the very idea of doing so towards the girl was repulsive. She wasn't sappy. That was just.. gross.

But she wasn't going to just leave her there. The girl, predisposed to her dramatic interludes, wasn't mentally sound to be left alone to weep. Not only was it ruining the undeniably pretty girls face, her sobbing would irritate Cameron even if she sat in the free compartment next door. Bleuhh.

Her response made Cam scowl. Seriously. The chick was bonkers. "For whatever reason, he loves you. And you'll.. make up.." Cam nodded awkwardly feeling like she was out of her depth. Cammy was the worst person to complain to as she was blunt and as empathetic as a old boot.

"You going to continue sooking like a baby or are you going to go out ad find Oliver before you don't see him for ever..." She made an attempt at a smile, but it turned into a grimace she couldn't sway.

"Chyeah..?"

" Come on, have aa chocolate frog" Rex told Rene. " My story, I transferred from SweetWater Texas and I have been here since my fourth year" Rex said to Rene. " One girlfriend broke up with me and the new one tells me we are on a break" Rex explained to Rene. " I have lots of freinds, 98 percent are girls at HogWarts" Rex smiled. " Oh and I won lots of ballroom dance competions back home and teach dance lessons to anyone who would like to learn those steps as well as love dancing , atudying and having all around fun" Rex did more explaining to her. " Now tell me about yourself, ok?" Rex asked Rene.
