Elyon sighed and smiled. She was glad that she wasn't the only new person to this little group or whatever it was. Cool. A Ravenclaw, she'd never met anyone from that house before. "Nice to meet you Hugo. Yes, I'm a first year. It's probably obvious with my short hight and that I don't have a house uniform. I'm hoping I'm a Gryffindor, though." She smiled when she looked out the window and saw a little bit of Hogwarts in the distance.

Elyon laughed when she saw Tigger and Chunk. Tigger looked like he was trying to assert his dominence over Chunk. She giggled when Chunk just stared and licked Tiggers foot.

Tigger felt something rough and somewhat scaley touch his paw. Turning his head over he saw Chunk the Monk pawing at his foot.Tiggers eyes turned to vertical slits,then without any notice, Tigger turned around and hissed at Chunk to leave him alone.

Demitri gave the girl a small wave and replied, "Nice to meet you, Elyon," She seemed almost as nervous as he, but he felt himself to be an outcast due to his condition. Looking stronger than he felt, he gave Elyon a handshake.

Demitri's eyes widened when Selina began to panic, and he brought a hand to her shoulder to calm her.
"Relax, it's okay...Ever-Lily likes everyone, especially friends of mine. I wouldn't have any friends myself, if it wasn't for her." he said, standing up too fast. He blinked and steadying himself against the window.
"And you're definitely good enough," he said, looking into her worried eyes. He then took her hand, waiting for her to stand up as well.
Demitri spotted yet another person in the compartment. He caught his name, and went to introduce himself. "Hey, Hugo," he tried to get his attention. "I'm Demitri, second year Slytherin." He glanced at his watch - they were almost there but he was becoming tired.
The lake...the courtyard...wow, this place must be huge. He thought. They were almost there, and he ran a hand through his hair nervously. What if he got lost?
"It's going to be amazing," he agreed.
"Yes, reaaaaally," he mocked her, and was pushed against the window. He turned to glare again, but then saw she was doing the puppy dog face.
"No, you cannot do the puppy dog face. This is how you do it," he said, then demonstrated his own version, which was natural.
He sighed and replied in a whisper, "Lord, no." He didn't know what else he could say to this, so the patted her hair to let her know that he would be fine, if not right now.

So he WASN'T sorted?! Well, then, maybe Ellie COULD convince him... She'd at least try, maybe? "Where do you think you'll end up?" Small talk. Gain his trust. THEN she'll go for it.

He doesn't have anything. Right. Then why'd he ask? It was a good thing she wasn't hungry, then? "Maxim, yes, you said that," she said nodding, "Along with the nose thing." He had been distracted at the time, it seemed.

Speaking of which..."What exactly were you doing before you nearly ran into me?" So very curious, she was.

Hugo tilted his head slightly. "Well don't worry about the height. You will grow a lot in this year, as you-" he looked down at himself. "Probably won't see, but hey, you should've seen me last year. I was way shorter than you!" Hugo said. Yesh, a lot can happen in a year. "Ahh, Gryffindor. Good choice. Hope you get in!"

Slytherin, eh? Second year, eh? Hugo should watch this guy...
"Hi, I'm Hugo Doyle. Second year Ravenclaw, pleasure to meet you," he said and shook his hand.

"Well, I have one blue eye and one green eye, I'm not good at sports, I like to play the piano, I'm not good at singing, my cat's name is Chunk, I love helping animals, erm... uh.. I like to read, my favourite colour is pale blue... Does this help?" Elyon shrugged, trying to come up with random things about herself.

So this meeting was over? Trixie had survived her first duty as Head Girl in the Prefect compartment, and she had already patrolled the middle part of the train, so now all that was left to do for the rest of the journey was, well relax really. She headed for the back, she wanted a different scene to her usual haunt up the front, and it seemed slightly quieter back here. Well apart from the occasional over excited firstie and a little bit of shouting and running here and there. One part seemed quieter then the rest, so this was where the Slytherin headed.

Approaching a door which held only one person, the blonde slid it open and smiled as she saw who was inside. "Freddie" she looked down at the empty seat next to him and then at what he was reading. "Swotting up a little before we arrive" she giggled slightly before taking a few steps forward. "Mind if I join you? Ive done all my duties and well, I need somewhere quiet to sit?" she asked with a gentle grin.

"Not really cool to come from a long lineof different Slytherin's.They're all cruel and stuck up because we're a very wealthy family, spannin out over hundred's of years, even as far as the foulding of the school. one of descendant's was the first class to go to Hogwarts, and one was there during Voldemort's time, and one joined Voldemorts army. He died just last year. and one of em was in the new army which attacked the school. He loved the school dearly and whenthe trolls wrecked the place, he was very distraught. But was happy to see Harry Potter dead, then he rose up like nothing hit him, and he destroyed Voldemort and half of my Grandpa's friends, but my grandpa did the Deather Eater Disappearing act and lived. He stayed in caves and shacks to keep away from the aurors, and they finally stopped looking and he got to an old abandoned manor, and moved in and fixed it up. Then after that, he got married and they had my father and aunts and uncles, and disguised himself when he went to Gringotts and withdrew a lot ofdark items and galleons and sold the dark items and kept it as his kids all growing up and gave the money to them and my father was the only one who learned alot in the newly rebuilt Hogwarts, and put half of my grandfathers money he had and put it in the stock exchange, and we made even more money, more than we can handle really, and we bought our very own Trevors manor. That's what I'm leaving from. And really, I'm happy and distraught. I'm going to miss my house alot, but I'm kind of happy to go to Hogwart's. But to be a Slytherin with that long line behind me, is hell. They all expect alot from me. And you, they expect me to hex and jinx all the time. One because you're a muggleborn, or mudblood, and second because you're not a Slytherin, you're a griffindor. to them, we should be fighting all the time. But we've become friends, and I won't fight you at all."

Benjamin reached his hand out and waited to be taken in by Christopher.

"Uhh yes i do",Fee said a little confused,"why ?"How did Katie come into the conversation right now? Did something hapoend and Fee just didnt get it?!Also he seemed to be a little flustered,mmhh.

"Ohhh Adam playing ladies man?",the blonde wiggled her eyebrows joking,He would have the potential to.

Maybe it was true that Katie was a handfull but why were they talking about her now? very confusing.Very confusing. And then hugo whispered something.Secret time? Mhhh, if it was important she would know later.Hopefully.

Fee raised an eyebrow at her best friend.So he didnt believe her that she was innocent?!Making her best puppy eyes she looked up to him."Yes all innocent,could these eyes lie?!"The blonde girl knew he couldnt ressit her puppy face, how good her best friend had a weak spot for that.Hehe.

The slytherin shook her head laughing when Alex told her packing was the most stressing thing his whole summer."I should really make you a plan next time",she giggled,"what would you do without me?!"Panick all the time.Good that Fee, as a girl, knew exactly how to pack everything and do it quick.Alex probably didnt have as much stuff as she had with her so it would be super easy.How sweet teaching her bestie.

"I mean that i cant come to the boys dorms",the girl told him,"you know to unpack."Maybe they should do at the common room.But then if Lafay found out they could get into detention.Well, fee would just wait and see in what mood Alex was. For him she would even get detention, if it helped.

"Ohh yeees i've never seen such a bad boy",the blonde agreed trying to hold back the giggle that wanted to escape her mouth.fee wasnt that of a bad girl herself and still got into Slytherin.There were other characteristics that got you there, too.Gladly they were because they had planned their common room times already.That couldnt get destroyed.

"Dont worry about it",Fee said noticing something was going on in Demitri's head,"you will love it at Hogwarts."It was huge but when you explored it for the first time sou get to know the cool places and the chance of getting lost decreases.

"I was only wondering, because you guys are the same year and in the same house...I already managed to get myself in a quick dilema with her earlier.LADIES MAN!? With Katie...KATIE , FEE!"He said wiggling her with a crazed look in his eyes.

Did she not remember how bad his second year had been due to Katie and many relationship problems popping up like soapy bath water.

"I second with Hugo."Adam said raising his hand in their little trio group.

Elyon laughed. "That's hard to believe, but I guess I'll take your word for it. I am relatively short, I don't know if I'll be that tall, but oh well!" She tried to imagine herself next year, taller. It failed. "Thanks! I really hope so too! What's Ravenclaw house like?"

Demitri was right. She was panicking over nothing. This girl, from what he had told her, was sweet and kind. Still, the shadows of doubt penetrated her mind. She knew for certain that Demitri would not lie to her, so she shook the thoughts and gazed at his hand. Taking a deep breath she felt his hand in her own and stood up to meet his eyes.

To lighten the mood she smiled and laughed, "Well, I don't know about having no friends Demitri. You are wickedly charming."

As she giggled at her own joke she tried her best to keep her crazy red hair in place. But like every other time she laughed her hair went askew. She quickly tried to tame it as Demitri prepared to introduce Selina to his sister.

Grinning Selina replied, "Yeah, it does. And just so you know we have that in common, the terrible singing bit. But who needs to be a good singer right?"

Elyon returned the grin. "I'm glad, I hope we'll became good friends this year. And good singing is totally overrated. Only the bad singers are the coolest." She giggled remembering her horrible singing. It was family thing.

"Yeah, Christopher can't sing either. We should start a group or something. Because there is bound to be a whole lot of talent at Hogwarts. I saw we boycott!" Selina giggled.

When Elyon mentioned being good friends Selina nodded, "Yeah, me too. But just so you know, being a ginger does make me a difficult person to be friends with.. because we are so awesome."

"Oh yeah i am still talking to her",Fee nodded,"what dilemma?!"So she had really missed something?Maan, noo drama please.Why did it seem like Katie always ended up in drama?!"Noo not with Katie, with Selina and Kurumi",she said shaking her head like mad,"i would never tell you to get her back i was with you that time."Katie was her friend but when it came to what she had done to Adam she found it still horrible."You second?",she asked a little confused.

Kurumi found herself sprinting through the train, this time with Walnut at her heals. Mainly, she was looking for Adam, but any of her friends would do at the moment. Were they not aware of what was now clearly visible out the window now?! Were they all in their school robes? If not, they should be. Running past one of the compartments, she caught sight of Adam's red hair - that Merlin! - and threw the door open with a medium sized crash.

"Ho-Ho-Ho," Adam was so going to make a comment about her sounding like Santa. "Hog-Hog." She really needed to calm down. Was her hair some strange color, because she certainly was not in control of her emotions at the moment. "HOGWARTS!"

"GROUP?I play the drumset and Kurumi plays the piano..."Adam offered. He had always wanted to be in a band he just never really knew anyone that had played instruments before. And if you had a singer, one guitarist and drummer, you'd be fine in a three man band.
"I'll be manager and drummer."He smiled broadly

Adam turned his attention to the door and saw Kurumi, sounding like Santa Claus. Ok he couldn't contain himself so he started slapping his own knees as a way to try stop his laughing.Walnut was right behind her.Feeling worried if Kurumi had just gotten some weird condition, he rushed up, once again stepping on friends feet and held her back.
"Alright,Mrs. Santa Claus?"He asked looking deeply into her eyes.

Freddie looked up, expecting to see a younger student who would no doubt have been met with a stern look and a 'go away', but his expression softened when he saw who it was: Trixie Malfoy. A small, rare smile graced his lips and he looked down at his book at back at the undeniably pretty blonde. “Something like that, yeah.” He closed the book and sat up from his slouched position. “I'm just reading about the Sorting. The weird talking hat?” He raised a brow, a look on his face that said it all. He was NOT looking forward to the sorting ceremony.

“Course not. I could use the company.” He moved his feet off the seat to give Trixie room. “You've been busy then, Head Girl?” He said conversationally.

Selina looked up at the sound of the voice and smiled at Kurumi. But her heart stopped when she heard the word.

"WE'RE HERE?"

"I play the flute too... well I did. And you may just have yourself a deal, Adam. But this is serious business. You have to shake on it." Selina outstretched her hand to the boy with a broad joking smirk.

"And I play the ukulele," Hugo added when they were talking about music. Stop it, Hugo, nobody's interested in your mini guitar. "And a bit of normal guitar," he quickly added.

"Ukulele is perfect. Besides this is no typical band. I mean I play the flute so why should a ukulele be outcast?" Selina said offering the boy a smile.

Kurumi's hair probably turned that pale pink color. That tended to happen when Adam looked directly into her eyes with his, especially when he was showing concern. "Look out the window," she instructed pointing to the starry sky and a castle that you could clearly see approaching on the horizon.

"Hugo will be the ukulele /guitarist,I'll be drummer and Manager, Selina will be flute...And thank you for adding in Hugo..."Adam said smiling at her gratefully, he didn't want Hugo to feel left out or unappreciated because he didn't play a full on guitar, the band would be better with a ukulele.

He still held onto her and indeed did see Hogwarts. Forgetting exactly who he was holding at the moment Adam RAN to the window and plastered his face right up against the cool air.

Lilly-anne made her way to the back of the train with Felidea curled up in her arms glancing though the compartment windows hoping to find somewhere she could sit. She had been quite distant from her friends after her fathers death so she wasnt sure if any of them would want to talk to her. She sighed not seeing any one she knew andshe stopped at a compartment opening the slightly,
"um.. would it be okay if i joined you" she asked the occupents shyly

Christopher frowned when he heard about Benjamin's ancestors. He didn't know much about Voldemort or Harry Potter, because they hadn't learned about him in History of Magic, and he didn't have any relatives who could tell him about it, but he thought the whole story of Harry Potter was really cool. He didn't really want to be rude and judge Benjamin,
but his family, from a long time ago, sounded horrible. Growing up, he didn't have much money, and he started to feel thankful for that. Benjamin's family thought they were better because they were rich and pure-blooded.

Christopher thought it was terrible that his friend's ancestors expected him to try to hurt him because of his house and who his parents were. He personally thought that muggle borns should be preferred, because if there were only purebloods, then the wizarding world would end. He hated the word "mudblood." His blood wasn't dirty, and anyone who thought so wasn't someone he wanted to be around. "No offense dude, but your family sounds kind of awful. Well the old ones did. I mean, just because I'm in Gryffindor and am muggleborn doesn't mean we can't be friends."

He reached out his arm to shake hands with Benjamin, glad to be friends with someone cool like him.
