From afar Adam's long lost brother, which Adam did not know he had, watched Adam go through the inside of the Train. Their parents made Alex spy on Adam whenever it came to Hogwarts stuff. Alex saw Adam at Diagon Alley and now here. Alex smiled as he saw his little brother wander off into compartments, trying to find someone to sit with.Ahh, the experiance of being a first year and going to Hogwarts was like nothing else. Such a different way to live life.

Arabella-Marie was stood on the platform with her older sister Florence and she said "I am going to miss you sis will you write to me to update me on the gossip from home" Florence hugged her little sister and said "Of course sis now you enjoy yourself at school at try not to get into too much trouble otherwise i will have to tell Dad and Mum about it" Arabella-Marie nodded and said "Of course sis and say hi to Harry as well from me and tell him i am going to miss him" Florence nodded and said "Of course sis now get on board and behave and try not to buy too much candy before the feast" Arabella-Marie nodded and picked up her trunk and boarded the Hogwarts express ready for her first term at Hogwarts

Oh, Donovan. Lori smiled down at the young boy on her hip as he cried, and sighed once. "Donnieeeee, I wouldn't go if I didn't have tooo. You know how important it is for me to go back. I can write to you, like every week if you want me to that badly." Her little brother was adorable, if not annoying at times. Her hip ached, having a seven year old hoisted up on it for half an hour straight was most CERTAINLY not fun. Frowning a little bit as she kissed her brother's forehead, the Prefect turned to look at her brothers adoptive parents; only for them to just start a conversation between themselves.

"P-p-promiiiiiiiiiiiiseee? And wuh-will Adddd-ummmm write tooo?" Donovan Lucas wibbled his lower lip as he held onto his big sister for dear life, hands locked around her neck, playing with her loose hair. He didn't like being left at home without her. And now he wouldn't be able to see her for ages again, just like last year. And now he wouldn't see Adam either. And he wasn't happy about that. HMPF.

SOB.

Lori nodded once, and ran the hand that wasn't supporting his back, through his hair, before giving his forehead another kiss. "I've gotta go, Don. You'll look after Pooky and Poppy the kitten's wont you?" Bribery. That was how she had gotten him to stop screaming when she told him she was levaing that morning. Leaving him Verity's kittens.

Placing her sobbing brother on the floor, and unlocking his hands from her neck, Lori kissed his cheek, and hugged him once. And then straightened up, watching him run back to his parents.

And boarded the train. Talk about heartbreaking.

Maddie smiled as she loaded her trunk onto a cart and set her owl cage on top, Dumbledore squawking loudly as she did so. He didn't like travelling by cage. Didn't like it at all. Looking up at her father - her wizard father, as she'd just found out - a tiny little tear formed as she stood on tiptoes to give him a hug. 'Bye, Daddy' she said softly, smiling weakly

'Bye, Maddie sweetheart' he replied, giving his daughter a hug back 'Be good, okay? No fights or anything...' he gave a wry smile at that, remembering the story she'd told him about two boys fighting over her in Florean's last year before Hogwarts. Thankfully, she'd avoided that this year... so far, anyway.

Emmaleigh stood in King’s Cross holding her mother’s hand, as she watched as her father demonstrated how to get on the Platform 9 and ¾. He pushed the trolley into the barrier, and disappeared. She gripped her mother’s hand tightly, and they both proceeded to walk through the barrier as well. She was amazed to reach the other side.

Emmaleigh helped her father, Aden, carry her trunk into an empty compartment in the middle of the train, While her mother, Anne, followed with Halt and Pintsize in their cages. The three exited the train and stood on the platform quietly talking amongst themselves. Aden and Anne were both encouraging Emmaleigh, and telling her she would do great, and Em was telling her parents she would write home often. All three were trying not to cry.

Scarlett spotted her friend Em and her family.Scarlett had already said goodbye to them.they had to get back to work.She walked up to Em holding Rose.
"hey Em." she said as she hugged her.she already missed her family.
"how are you?getting excited." she asked.
"oh,I'm Scarlett." she said to Em's parents. "I'll be in the sane house and hopefully her friend firbthe remainder of the time at Hogwarts." she said politley.Rose hooted happily spreading her wings.

Rhea looked around the train station hoping to see the people she had wanted to see all summer. Her bestfriend, the guy she hoped might someone how be her boyfriend and Savvers of course. Of course her mum was saying her usual goodbyes but Rhea wasn't hearing a thing.

"And promise that you'll try to write at least once this year, won't you dear?" Sophia Bellaire said as she soothed her daughter's hair back.

Rhea turned to face her mom and dad and smiled.
"I promise I'll write mummy." Her mom pulled her into a tight hug and kissed her forehead. She looked at her dad who had Tyler sitting on his shoulder.

"Big kiss for daddeh pumpkin," he said as he bent slightly. Her dad smiled at her fondly. James would certainly miss having Rhea around especially since he hadn't been home much the last two years. He sighed. She was seventeen already. His little baby was all grown up now.

Rhea got on her tippy toes and kissed her dad then little brother and took hold of her two large trunks.
"I'll see you guys at Christmas then." She started walking towards the train but stopped to wave goodbye to them as she handed over her luggage and climbed aboard.

This was it the Hogwarts Express for which Alexis was waiting from years...
She was now going to her dreamland...
She never know much of the students but have certertainly heard some of the senior students name..
Her father was nourishing her with lot of instructions and feeding her all rules and regulations to be followed..
She heard those rules all those years but yet she did not dare to speak a single word about it to her father..
"Alex my girl I'l miss you so much" Alexis mother Alice gave her a tight hug and kissed her on cheek..
"Oh Mum! I'l miss u too... dont worry about me I'l be good and I'l see you soon I'l OWL you every week." promised Alexis..
"Not every week atleast thrice a week.. I'l be waiting for your OWL..."said Alice..
"Sure Mum!"-Alexis..
Alexis was very excited...
"Keep all the thigs I told you in mind and I should not hear any Complain.. We have a very good reputation in the magic world right from your grat grandfather's generation" said Albus, Alexis father..
Her mother was a muggle born and father a pure blood...
Her father finally hugged her and she left for the train....

“Oh, Hey Scarlett,” Emmaleigh said as her friend arrived. “Yeah, I’m pretty excited.” She said hoarsely. Em really was excited, but she was still really worried about leaving her parents for so long. “Oh, is that Rose? Well, where is Poppy?”

“Pleasure to meet you,” replied Aden.

“Oh, Hello Scarlett, Emmy has told all about you. Thank you for helping her find her way in Diagon Alley” Anne said kindly. “And feel free to call me Mrs. Anne, if you like.”

“And, you may call me Mr. Aden. And I am sure you two will be fine friends?” He said with a smile.

“So, where are your parents?” Emmaleigh asked. “Do you want to share a compartment? You can ask anyone else to join us if you like.” Em said with a smile.


"I can help you with your trunk if you need it." Aden stated.

Kody pouted, biting her lower lip before turning to her uncle. She. Would. Not. Cry. But she was going to miss him, and as much as she hated to say it, it hurt not having her mommah there to give her a hug goodbye, tell her be good for the year. And her father wouldn't get himself out of the damn house either.

Throwing herself at her uncle, Kody allowed a few tears to escape. "I'mma really gonna miss you Uncle Sean. Will you write me? Every day?" Or at LEAST once a week.

Sean nodded, kissing the top of his niece's head, "Don't worry. I'll write everyday. And if you don't write back, there WILL be howlers." he raised an eyebrow warningly, before letting a small chuckle escape.

Stepping back, he smiled at her, "Your beautiful. And your mother would be proud." Sighh. Sean just wished his brother could see how much his daughter needed him. "Now get going, I don't want you to be late."

Fee had already said good bye to her family and now was searching for her friends. Where were they? She felt a bit alone.

"yeh,this is Rose." she lifted up Rose in her cage. "oh Poppy is alseep." she opened her pocket to show Em Poppy asleep in there.

Scarlett extended her hand to both parents.
"it's lovely to meet the both of you.Em speaks so fondly of you both and your farm." she smiled shyly.she too note of both parents names so if she met them again she would be able to say hey.

"oh uhm,my parents had to get back to work at te Ministry." she said a little upset. "I said goodbye to them just there." she smiled weakly. "but there was an emergency so I get that."
"oh sure!we can go now if you like." she said looking from Em to her parents.
"I can go for a bit until you say goodbye." she whispered to Em.it was going to be a tender moment.

"oh that would be brilliant thanks Mr Aden." she said.

.......her family was totally insane as well as embarrassing. They were signing, her mother and her little brother were SINGING in public. OMG. This was awful. Savannnah pouted, shrugging her bag up her shoulder, she sighed, hoping NO ONE she knew was here.

"Oh my gosh, Savannah.We are just having fun, there is no point in pouting over it." Ashley Conrad said, eying her oldest daughter. She asked just like her father sometimes, something Ashley really didn't want to think about. The cockiness, the embarrassment over silly things, the perfectionism, couldn't they just get over them selves ? Of course not, eye roll. Ashely looked over at her younger son, smiling. At least HE had a sense of humor and knew how to have fun.

It was though for their family and they just needed to have fun, of course her daughter had a different idea of fun. That fun was boys. Mehh...

The blonde's eyes shifted as she heard a voice, Nekoda. She poked him son, looking at him and then at her daughter."It's rude to not say hi you know...."She paused.

"NEKODA DANIELLE ! GET OVER HERE AND SAY HI."

His mom was awesome, no point in denying it but THIS was uncalled for. She had a big mouth on her and Orland knew this but REALLY ?! She didn't need to call over his girlfriend, especially since she and Sav weren't on the best terms.

Kody nodded, and was about to leave when she heard her name called. Turning, her smile stretched seeing the Conrad bunch. Of course, that involved Savannah, but she'd have to face her at some point anyways right? Glancing again at her Uncle, she gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. "You don't have to stay. I can go from here."

Sean glanced up at the Conrad's, waving to the Mrs. before looking back at his niece. "If your sure. I'll see you at Christmas okay? I love you." And with a small kiss and a faint pop. He was gone.

Kody sighed, "I love you too." But he was already gone. Shrugging her bag higher onto her shoulder, Nekoda started towards the bunch, placing a smile on her face. "Mrs. Conrad! Hi! How are you?" She gave the woman a quick hug. Smiling at Savannah and Orlando as well.

Another year, a new prank to do list.
If you'd have asked Jimbo what his goals were at the beginning of every year, his only answer is to finish that prank to do list. Which may explain his marks...

But hey, nobody's complaining about them. Besides, Jimbo is a smart kid, it's just that ever since he came to Hogwarts his dedication to pranking has been booming. He's never had such a vast amount of unsuspecting victims. Whereas at home, everyone was expecting it. Or was open to it, like the crazygirls. But his parents knew exactly the types of marks he could get, so it hadn't really mattered when they saw his marks. And Jimbo's dad really backed up his pranking, having been quite the prankster himself.

Although, this year was his fifth. That meant OWLs. And that meant that this year, he had to focus. His parents had been really clear about that. It was kinda depressing. He had been planning some good pranks this year. Not that he wouldn't try them, just that he couldn't focus on them as much as he'd like.

"You have a load of dungbombs on you right now, don't you?"

Darn. He could never get anything past his dad. "Yes..."

Mum was normally too busy to see him off, but she'd actually tagged along as well. But that meant a lot more stern looks.
"How many, exactly?" she asked.
"A few..."
"Benjamin." she warned.
"Muuuumm!" he whined.
"Haha, Lexine, cut the boy some slack."
"Psht, seriously mum."
Oookay, not a good look from mother. "Three on me and about twenty or so in my trunk. Maybe more."
"Haha, the boy learns quick. Good job, Benji." Dad said, ruffling his son's hair.
Lexine sighed. "Just remember. It can't all be dungbombs and fireworks this year."
"That's true. You really have to focus this year." Daniel added. "That doesn't mean you can't throw around a couple dungbombs but you just have to limit yourself, James."

Argh, the middle name. That means he's serious. Normally he alternates between really odd derivatives of his first name, Benjamin. But if he's serious, he uses James. And his dad is barely ever serious, so that means business.

"Argh, I know! We've been over this a million times! When will it END?"
His parents laughed, but they didn't fail to give him a final stern look to make sure that he wasn't just brushing them off.
Jimbo gave them both a look to let them know that what they said wasn't lost on him. He was going to focus this year, he was determined.
SPEAKING OF SCHOOL - the train. He needed to board. He made to grab his trunk but his dad made a sort of disapproving sound. Jimbo looked up at him, confused and noticed that his dad was SMIRKING. That cannot be good.
"Levitate it." he ordered. "WHAT?" Jimbo asked, incredulous. "Do it. Your focusing starts now." Oh, he could NOT be serious. Ah, but he WAS. OH, THE HORROR!

Jimbo glared at his dad before whipping out his wand and pointing it at his trunk. "Wingardium Leviosa and such." As the trunk rose, he turned to his dad. "Are you happy now?"

"I have been....okay."Ashley said, hugging onto the girl. She was like a second daughter, she looked at Savannah for a moment, glaring. It was a glare that meant TALK OR DIE....okay maybe not die but like get grounded or something.

"How has my favorite Russell been doing ?"She asked, smiling at the girl as her son nearly tackled Kody. Ahhhh....young love.

"Come here you..."Orlando said, smiling at the girl before him. He ran up to her and picked her up off the ground, grinning. This summer had been rough for him as well as the rest of the family. Nekoda always seemed to make it better even if she was adding more fuel to the fire with the whole Cody/Savannah debate.

Savannah stood, send a weak smile at Nekoda, wanting to ask about Cody but she knew her mother would yell at her about it. Her mother wasn't exactly keen on Cody, she preferred Aiden so much more and it was quite obvious.

“She’s so pretty.” Em said as she stuck her finger in the cage trying to pet Rose. “aww, she’s adorable, I cant wait to let Pintsize meet her..”

Aden and Anne both shook Scarlett’s hand. “You will have to come visit the farm next summer.” Aden said.

“Aww, Im sorry they’re not here. What sort of emergency did they have? What exactly do they do at the ministry? You said they did law stuff, but I’m not sure what that means.” Em asked Scarlett. “I would love to meet them.”

As Aden helped Scarlett load her trunk, Emmaleigh started saying goodbye to her mother. She gave her a great big hug, and said, “I love you mum. I’m going to miss you loads!”

“I love you to Hunny, and I’m going to miss you to.” Anne said as she gave her daughter a squeeze.

Once Aden returned Emmaleigh turned and gave him a big hug as well. “Bye daddy. I love you, and I promise I will write.” She said to her father.

“Oh, Darling, I’m going to miss you so much, and I love you too.” Aden replied as he picked Emmaleigh up in a embrace. As he set her down, he placed a kiss on her forehead.

“Take care of everyone for me, especially Myst and her kittens.” And with that, Emmaleigh turned and headed to where Scarlett was standing. “Ready?” she asked.

Emmaleigh headed to the train, and as she was boarding, she turned back and waved to her parents, and hollered. “Bye, I love you!” And walking to their compartment, she discretely wiped a tear from her cheek.

Fifth year.

When the HECK did it get to that point? Iris really couldn't believe it. This year meant OWLs. So ... if she messed up this year, then her whole LIFE was ruined. Oh lovely thoughts.

AND, to make matters worse, her Mum wasn't here to say Goodbye to her. Loving mother of hers, dropping her off and then rushing to work... Well... They did have that whole Atlantis thing going on... That was probably kinda important.

She passed through the barrier on her own, for the first time ever, with her shiny new heels clicking against the cobble-stones. Now would be a good time to find some friends.

Which reminded her. No Aaron this term. *sad face*

Iris dragged her trunk behind her, feeling that it would be safer than levitating it, whilst looking for someone she knew, and liked, amongst all the people and steeeeeam of the Train. It didn't take her long to find someone.

JIMBO!

Awww. Jimbo's mum and dad had come to drop him off. That's nice of them. Not working mornings. Hehe.

Iris had to admit though, Jimbo Senior was kinda... Well... hot. That's the ONLY way of describing how Jimbo's dad looked.

Hehe.

Slowly, she walked up to them. Maybe wearing heels wasn't such a good idea. There were too many people and cobbles in the ground.

Iris reached Jimbo and his parents (Or ... at least, Iris was ASSUMING that they were his parents...) and grinned at what she saw. His dad was making him levitate his trunk. So Iris poked Jimbo on the bottom of his back. For the distraction.

"Heeeeeey, Jimbo." Hehe. Happy GRIN! Iris then looked to the pretty lady and the HOT Jimbo Senior and smiled at them. "Hullo."

Hugo stood on the platform, seeing the beautiful Hogwarts Express. He gave a kiss to his mum, a hug to his dad, and picked up his owl Athena's cage.

He wasn't sad about not seeing his parents for such a long time, he was going to have fun. Hugo was eager to make some new friends.

He saw a lot of people talking to each other, which made him sad because he didn't know anybody. He hugged his parents again, then looked at the train, ready to board.

''Bye, honey see you soon! Don't worry you''ll love it there. I'll write you! Love you!'' her mom shouted. Jacqueline was holding her blue bag very tight. Something was sticking out of the bag..it was her lucky bracelet that her grandma made for her. ''I hope she is here with me.'' she tought and her eyes filled with tears. ''What should i do with all these stuffs?''She had two big suitcases two small backpacks and an owl cage where Sparkle was sleeping. ''Wish i could sleep right now, I'm so tired!'' she smiled while she was looking at Sparkle. ''Well i don't know anyone here'' she tought and she felt a little bit lonely. She turned see if there is anyone she knew.

On his way he bumped into a pretty girl. "Oh, I'm sorry!" he exclaimed really nervously. "I can't keep my mind really clear, I'm a bit nervous." he explained to the girl.

"I'm Hugo, by the way, Hugo Doyle."

Maddie waved goodbye to her father one more time, and then turned, heading for the train. As she walked past, she noticed a small firstie girl, who looked as though she was crying. And she obviously didn't know where to go, since she'd just asked out loud what to do with her things.

Stopping, Maddie gave the girl a kind smile. 'Hi there' she said softly, pulling out her wand 'You take them in with you' she told the girl, pointing at the cases. It was far more than she or this girl could possibly be able to carry, so she pointed her wand at them, whispering under her breath 'Wingarduim Leviosa!' she said, and all the girl's luggage joined hers, floating about half a metre in front of her. 'I'm Maddie, by the way. Second year, Ravenclaw'

Salander wheeled his cart by the train, grabbed his things and hurriedly tossed them onto the platform for the baggage handler to pick up and load into the awaiting Hogwarts Express. He swung his messenger bag over his shoulder and was halfway up the train steps when he turned to hear a familiar voice calling out for him...


"Master Schermerhorn! Master Schermerhorn!" called out Mr. Finchley Jarvis, the Astor family valet. He had what appeared to be a wand and a holster in his outstretched arm as he hastened across the platform. "I believe you would be needing this in school Sir."


Salander's eyes grew large as he recognized the items in the valet's hand. He leaped from the train steps and met the elderly gentleman as he came up the train. "Oh geez Finch, thanks! You have no idea how much trouble I went through just to get this." he said as he greatfully took his wand and the holster. Readjusting his bag on his shoulder, he looked up at the Hogwarts Express "Travelling by train, how... quaint." he joked, using the term he heard from his English companion.


"Well Master Schermerhorn, it may not be johnny quick as the portkey system, but see this as chance to enjoy the lovely English countryside whilst traveling in style." Finchley noded graciously.

"One other thing Sir..." the valet added solemnly, taking out a folded letter from his breast pocket and handed it to his young ward "... do know Mistress Caroline truly wanted to be here to see you off, but certain pressing matters have arisen..."


"Dont bother about it Finch," Salander interrupted as his lips wrinkled grumpily. "I'm used to this already... save the excuses for her press agent." he muttered as he took his mother's letter from the valet. Sensing the elder man wanting to say something sympathetic, Salander gave him a good-natured pat on the arm. "But hey you're here right? More than good enough for me." he said smiling. Making his way back to the train, he turns and calls out "I'll see you when I see you Finch! And thanks again for this!" waving the holster and the wand in the air before disappearing into the train.

When Iris poked him, the trunk dropped with a loud CRASH!

Whirling around, Jimbo glared at the guilty party. "MUST YOU?"
But, of course, his dad had to go and burst out laughing whilst his mum - more composed - snickered. Jimbo ignored them. It's just LIKE them to go and laugh. Pft. No feeling sorry for Jimbo, no yelling at Monty - NOTHING. Just LAUGHTER. They are cruel, cruel people. Which Jimbo felt the need to voice just a moment later, to which they laughed even more.

Annoyed, Jimbo didn't even bother to greet Monty back. He just crossed his arms and sulked.

Once he was able to calm his laughter down at the look on his son's face, Daniel Farley turned to the small girl who was the cause of it all. "Hi, there. I'm Daniel, this lunatic's father." He held out his hand for her to take and he could feel the glare coming from Benjamin's direction. What a dramatic boy.

Smiling at the pretty young girl, Lexine introduced herself as well, right after her husband. "I'm the mother, Lexine. And I must apologize for any grief my annoying son might have caused you at any point in your life. He is quite the handful."

"MUM! You're not supposed to say stuff like that! Especially not to my FRIENDS!"

But besides a scoff, she ignored him, focused only on Monty, the trunk dropper. (Tee hee, geddit?) Stupid, stupid Monty.
