Fletcher tore his eyes away from the cat fight for a moment to see a younger girl standing beside him.

"Er.... I'm not Jack..." he said slowly, wondering if she could possibly be talking about his doppelganger? That other guy?? Hmm....

Callie smiled up at the apparent second version of Jack. Meh she didn't care, they were both hot as long as she could talk to one of 'em she wasn't complaining.

"So. You aree ?" Man, one of them could've atleast got a hair cut. Seriously. Did they have no consideration for her poor confused brain ?

"Erm... I'm Fletcher, just Fletcher," he answered with a polite smile. He stopped scratching the back of his head to offer the girl a handshake. "And who are you, might I ask?"

Please not another crazy chick. Please.

Fletcher Just Fletcher ? Ookkaays. That was a...interesting name. She returned his smile, looking at Jack then at Fletcher. She was gonna get so confused between them both. And what was with everyone and shaking hands ? Psht. She shook his hand, his warm soft hands. Okay now she wasn't complaining about hand shakes so much. She pulled her hand away from his and smiled again. "Callie. Callie Parker."

Pshhht, look at him all high and mighty. Acting like making him mad would be the worst thing Jimbo could possibly do. Pahaha. Very, very wrong he was indeed.

BUT, that being said, maybe if he got the boy mad he wouldn't think to mention Monty again, and Jimbo wouldn't be in trouble. Hm. Might be a good plan. And if that fails, he could just use Pebbles as his bodyguard, because the turtle makes a good bodyguard.

Besides, he was rather mean - threatening to throw Pebbles out the window like that. And he had been bluffing. Mmph.

"Am I?" he laughed, "Well, that's good news. I do love to make people mad." DISTRACTION, DISTRACTION, DISTRACTION!

Which reminded him, he still needed to come up with some sort of excuse for Monty. After all, he came here to clear his head. He just kinda forgot about all that once he spotted the candy. But this boy just had to go and REMIND him. Pffftttttttttt.

Rhea didn't answer right away. She was reluctant to stir up the memories she had spent the latter part of her last year trying to get rid of. She sighed.
"Memories...memories of Art. We finally get together and he commits to me, then just up and left. And half my friends left as well. Hogwarts had just become a ghost of what it used to be to me..nothing but cold memories." She shrugged. She was getting past that now and didn't want to talk about it.She smiled and nodded. Yeah it was just like Aiden, though they had a pretty nasty spat about it before, when he told her to just leave, but they worked through it a few days later.

" See you guys have a history and all that. He doesn't have that with Ella." And there was another reason, he and Sav were perfect for each other. She just needed Aiden to finally see that and stop being such a little mup mup.
"Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees Sav, it disturbes me greatly. Stop it." She poked her.

Joshua, being Joshua, knew exactly where he would be headed the second the train got moving. He patted the pocket of his jeans, full with the money his Nana had given him, and joyfully walked over to the where the food trolley was. He planned on getting EVERYTHING the money he had could buy. Chocolate Frogs, Cauldron Cakes, Droobles Best Blowing Gums, Jelly Slugs .... gosh, he couldn't even think straight!

FOOD TROLLEY, FOOD TROLLEY!!!111

But ...


....

.... pout.

THERE WERE LOTS OF PEOPLE THERE!

Tall people!

"'scuse me!! 'scuse me! Lemme through!" He shrieked at the back of the tall people, giving tiny jumps and trying to see the trolley. He could SMELL it, but he couldn't SEE it, yet!!!11

HE WANTED CANDY!

"Make waaaay!" He tried again, his squeaky voice growing even higher at the same time he looked down at this tiny legs. Why couldn't they grow NOW?!

"Who's Art ?"Savannah said, one brow raised. She and Rhea had never really discussed Hogwarts before Aiden and herself got there. Just a guess but Savvy was PRETTY sure it was Rhea's ex. Savannah frowned as Rhea spoke, feeling kind of awkward. She began to wonder what Beauxbatons was like without her, hopefully everyone missed her ? Well, duh they did. They sent her like 5423435645 letters. Hehh."Well, it's probably way more awesome now that I'm here."She grinned looking at Rhea. Hopefully that comment might lighten up the mood ? Savannah hoped so.

History ? Oh she and Aiden had quite the histroy."I was his first kiss you know, first girlfriend as well."She beamed proudly, any time she could use to gloat she would gloat. Now was a time to gloat.

"how's it distrubing ?"Savannah asked, grinning still."I'm just telling you how smoking HOT your best friend is."Hehhh. Giggle. She was having too much fun tormenting Rhea about aiden."HEYYYYY."She poked her! She POKED her."Poking isn't nice...Aiden won't approve of you poking his future girlfriend...."

Adam waited, his impatience getting the better of him."Hey, when can I pay for my stuff. Or when? I've been waiting her for a few minutes now!"He said vexed. It had been five minutes already, he would not wait another ten. He'd give the food trolley lady another three minutes, or else she would lose one consumer.

Legend yawned and ruffled his blond hair. He had woken up way to early today to come on the train. He was much to used to waking up at 3pm with Kai and just enjoying the summer heat. But sadly summer was over and he was back on the train as tired as ever. Passing the snack lady with the trolley Legend stopped walking and rubbed his chin.

Chocolate frogs or cauldron cakes? Now that was the question.

Who's Art? What a question! Rhea almost laughed. But really how was Savannah suppose to know about her ex-boyfriend. They weren't even friends when he was around.
"Art's my ex-boyfriend. Well he isn't even really my ex, ex since he just left and we never officially broke up, but it's what it is I guess."
She laughed when Savannah said it was more awesome with her here. One thing was for certain, things were a lot more interesting.
"You add your own special flavour to Hogwarts Sav."

Rhea made a "that's so cute" face when Sav said that she was Aiden's first kiss and first girlfriend.
"That's so presh Savvy. Awww I'm going to tease Aiden about it." She grinned.

"It's as disturbing as me telling you that your brother is super hot and I want to snog him silly. I'm sure that wouldn't be pleasant conversation for you." Savannah was having too much fun grossing her out.
"Oh I'm sure Aiden won't mind my poking one bit."

Preston was in search for the food trolley that his dad had told him so much about. How every time he was on the train he would stock up on sweets for the train ride. Preston gave a large goofy grin seeing the food trolley. He was just mere steps away from the food trolley when ---

T.R.I.P.

Preston suddenly found himself once again on the floor, he had kind of been expecting it, but then again, tripping was at the back of his mind. "S-s-sorry." Preston mumbled as he stood up not sure if he had hit anyone or something on his short trip he took flying through the air. He rubbed his left shoulder feeling a slight pang of pain. He took a deep breath and waited his turn in the line for his Fudge Flies.

"Ouch."And Savvy thought she had it bad with Aiden. Just leaving and not even saying good bye ? That was tough, Sav wasn't sure what she would have done if a boy did that to her."You will find someone new I guess...."she shrugged, looking back at the candy."But if you really belong with him, he will come back around."That's what she had to keep telling herself about Aiden. Still though, that must have been hard on Rhea.

Savannah giggled as Rhea gave her that OMG so cute look."Oh my goodness, I could tell you SO many things about Aiden from when he was a kid."She laughed just thinking about it. She missed childhood, she really did. There no worries, no snogging, no boyfriend drama. Of course, she and Aiden had their first kiss at like 12 but that wasn't a snog. It was innocent and cute.

Savannah eyed Rhea,"I have to deal with it, Kody dates my brother."Ew. Wince. Of course, Savannah knew her brother was attractive, he was a Conrad so naturally he was going to be hot. Still though, she didn't want to hear about kissing and stuff."He will onnnnnnnnnne day!"Beam.

Arabella-Marie was still standing looking at the food trolley or trying to at 4ft5 she was finding it difficult to see a lot of things but she hoped that somebody would notice her cause she was bored and was tempted to buy some more candy to keep her sweet tooth happy

Not paying attention and staring out the train windows she did not notice the by coming out of his compartment until it was to late and she was lying on the floor. Embarassed when se looked up at the older boy who looked vry sleepy but very cute. "Sorry, im so sorry, imusually not this clumsy I guess its all nerves or somthing. Are you ok?"

Legend was just about to come to his discussion when someone hit him in the back or something. Turning his emerald green eyes fell upon a little guy who was on the floor, obviously the kid had tripped. "No problem?" The fourteen year old said causally, the kid looked like he was scared but he had no clue. He was so small that it was hard to tell if he was scared or just nervous Legend swore he wasn't that short when he was younger.

Turning back to the cart he made up his mind. Cauldron cakes!! And he was almost at the front of the line too! Giving the little kid a nudge he grinned. "So Trippy you a first year?"


Legend blinked confused. Oh. Another person had tripped. Was he like a trip magnet or something? This time it was a girl but see looked just as small as the boy."It's okay?" Legend said smiling. Awww likkle fisties. Time to corrupt them. "Nervous? Are you a first year? Scared about Hogwarts?" Why was he asking so many questions and being so nice? He had nooo clue.

These tall, older people were not very nice. They were standing around, TALKING, keeping Joshua from making his way to the precious CANDY. Who did that?!!! Stood in other people's way towards candy?! It just wasn't very nice. Pout. And to make it all worse, they were ignoring him. He was actually being very polite. Asking them to leave and all.

"Please, lemme get to the CAAANDY!" He told the people AGAIN, wondering if perhaps he had just tried to get to the food trolley by the wrong side. He ought to go around and try to get there the other way!!

But ... trains weren't round, were they?!

Sniffle.

Looking around, he saw a somewhat older looking boy, who seemed to at least be polite to what seemed firsties! Like him! YAY! "Scuse me, Mister." He started, approaching the small group and facing the older looking one, somewhat nervously. "Can you help me reach the trolley? The people here are all very tall and I can't pass through them."

Preston looked up at the older kid. He looked like he was sixteen or something, but he looked younger than MJ. But Preston wasn't sure how old MJ was, so he really wasn't sure how old this boy was. But he kind of frightened Preston, with him towering over him and everything. Preston didn't know what to do now, so he did what he usually would have...

GOOFY. SMILE.

"N-n-no n-not n-n-ner-nervous r-r-really." Preston told him shrugging his shoulders. Scared? Yes, he was a bit scared; but he wasn't going to admit that to an older kid he didn't know. He shook his head no to the scared part. "W-w-what is it like th-there?" He asked cocking his head to the side as they moved up in line. He was just another few steps closer to getting his Fudge Flies.

"Yeah, first year and nervous but not about Hogwarts. It cant be no worse than my old private school." she said "I think its because......" What had she been so nervous about why had she forgoten maybe thats why she had been so nervous she was always forgeting things. "Well I don't really remeber, you made me forget, hahaha" she chuckled "What are year are you?"


Looking over at the other boy who had also tripped over the older boy she smiled. "Hello" she said laughing "We both have gravity issues"

Rhea nodded. It really was ouch but eh, at least, she saw it coming. They had their last date the evening before the ball then he left. Oh well, she was slowly starting to move on and that was a good thing. She didn't need to sit and pine over Arthur for the rest of her life.
"Yes, well I'm working on the someone new part and we'll see how it goes with Art and I in the future, won't we?" She didn't want to talk about herself anymore. It was too sad for her liking. Too many memories, bleh.

She grinned genuinely when Savannah got excited about her past with Aiden. Aww it was so cute how they grew up together, having all that history and so on. She wished she had that with someone but she didn't. Only her neighbour in manchester but she didn't like him like that at all.

"You have to deal with it, yet you're doing it to meeeeee? Not nice Savannah Conrad, not nice. I hope Kody talks about snogging him allllllll the time, hmph." She stuck her tonuge out at her playfully.

Looking back toward the boy Legend nodded. Yeah right. The boy was so totally scared. Funny. Legend had never been scared to come to hogwarts. He had heard about it way too much from his sister. "What's with the stutter?" Legend asked bluntly. This kid was stuttering like mad. Like he WAS nervous. Running his hands through his hair he thought for a moment about what would be the easiest way to explain Hogwarts.

"A crazy mad place with a bunch of kids holding up sticks and throwing spells and even crazier Professors and a random crazy thing that happens every year. Oh. And crazy animals." Crazy. That was a good word. The soon to be fifth year smiled brightly. "Don't worry though you'll get used to it."

It was true he would. And SCORE finally they were at the front. "I'll take....7...no 9 packs of Cauldron cakes. Two for my little trippers here." Legend said grinning as he gave the money to the lady and passed one cake to both first years.



"Private school? That sounds cool. I went to a school before Hogwarts too but it was all Muggle." Was she talking about a Private Muggle school? He really had no clue. He made he forget? Aw. "Maybe you'll remember next time. Then you can tell me." Legend said grinning.

Likkle firsties were so adorable.
Haha.
No.

They were just interesting. "Fifth year. Been at Hogwarts for so long but it doesn't seem like it. Even though I am the king of the school." Yes he was bow down before him. "What's your name second Tripper?


Wait what? Legend looked around there was another small slightly girly voice. Looking down he noticed a boy that looked like a first year (YES another one! At least this one didn't trip on him too).

How many times had Legend REALLY spoken to first years when he wasn't one? He could count the number of times on his hands, yet here were a bunch of them just flocking to him.

Sigh. Sometimes being so amazing had it's downside. " 'Sup dude?" He said urging the kid to go on. He liked this kid. He called him MISTER. Reach the trolley? "Here this is what you do." Grabbing the kids arm he pulled him out of front of him. "MOVE MOVE OUT OF THE WAY MOVE OR I'LL HEX YOU ALL!" Pushing and shoving his way through a group of people he made it back to the front, with the kid right beside the trolley. "There brah. Know whatcha want?" The other two first years weren't to far away. In fact the other boy was right there on the other side and the girl was next to him. Cool

Preston turned to a girl who he realized was talking to him. "H-h-hello." Preston said to her giving another yet much smaller goofy grin to. "I-I-I-I g-g-guess so." Preston agreed nodding his head. He cocked his head to the side and looked at her, she looked like he was around his own age, maybe eleven or twelve, thirteen at the most. But Preston was quite bad at judging someone's age.

"I-I-I'm P-P-P-Pre-Preston T-T-T-Tur-Turn-Turner." Preston introduced himself sticking his hand out to the girl. Maybe he'd share his Fudge Flies with her once he got some. "W-w-w-what's y-y-your name?" He asked, curious to see who she was.


Preston watched the older boy carefully, not sure if he could trust him or not. He looked down at his feet with a shamed face when he asked about his stutter. He gave a deep sigh, knowing he should know how to answer the question that everyone ended up asking sooner or later, but he just didn't like having to answer it, why couldn't people just not care about it? "I-I-I-I d-d-d-don't know." He shrugged still looking at his shoes.

He bit his lip as he took the Cauldron cake from the boy. "Th-thanks." He stuttered quietly. He wanted to turn around and go find a place to sit for the remainder of the train ride. He listened as he explained Hogwarts, still looking at his shoes and fiddling with the wrapper of the Cauldron cake. He noticed that the boy kept using 'crazy' and that was starting to freak Preston out on the inside, maybe it was a mistake, him being a wizard!

Brant was starving, he need some food just to settle his stomach. but not completely fill it for the opening feast is what Brant really wanted. He made his way through the compartments, trying to skillfully move between students.

OH WOW! Joshua had clearly chosen the right boy to talk to! Not only he seemed to be incredibly popular, he also knew how to get things done around here! The eleven year old boy simply stared in awe as this boy dragged him right to the food trolley so that now not only could Joshua SMELL the food trolley he could also SEE IT!

So the solution for confusions around here was to threaten to hex people and shove them away?!

"Thank you, Mister! I'm not sure I can shove people out of the way, though." He was tiny. SNIFFLE. He used to be pretty big back at his place. He could reach the cookie jar and all! But here, he was the smallest around. Deciding that sad situation desperately needed CANDY, he turned to the nice, old lady and showed her the money he had gotten from his pocket. "I want everything this money can buy, Ma'am!! A little bit of everything, please!" YAY! Her Nana would be happy!

Turning back to the boy, he shrugged. "I don't know alot of candy. Mummy never let me have lots. Said it was bad for me." He had never understood how something so yummy could be BAD for him. Silly. "But now I'll try a bit of everything and next time I'll know what to have!!"

Most likely everything again. WOOT.

Mia was making a beeline for the food trolley not because she was hungry or anything but because she actually had money to buy something. In her haste to get there before all the good stuff was gone, she clumsily bumped into about half a dozen people before finally running smack bang into someone right in front of her.

She kinda bounced back a little and blinked a few times. "Ooopsie. Sorry about that."
