"Nice to meet you." K-Lee said happily. She was glad that Adriane wasn't mean, well she didn't seem to be mean so far.

"So, what are you planning on doing these holidays? Anything fun?" K-Lee asked, making conversation.

"Pleasure to meet you as well." Ad smiled. K-Lee was SO nice.

"Um...I might go and visit my partner-in-crime, and his uncle and cousin. I want to stay away from home as much as possible. My mother...isn't the nicest. So, In terms of fun...I might play a few pranks on my closest friend AKA my partner-in-crime," Ad said, smiling. She really didn't feel like explaining about her mother right now. She just wanted to get home, drop all her bags, and find Justin and spend all summer with him and his uncle and little cousin.

K-Lee smiled. "Pranking people, sounds fun." She laughed, not pushing the subject of Adriane's mum being not too nice. K-Lee had tact, which she was glad for at that time because she might be making a new friend, and you don't make friends if you make them feel awkward around you.

Adriane looked like she was already dreaming about what she was going to do, the expression on her face making K-Lee laugh.

K-Lee herself didn't have a big idea of what she was going to spend her holidays doing. Maybe she might visit her older cousin Alexandria, who if is feeling nice enough will take her to somewhere cool.

Fee raised an eyebrow at her bestie as she heard her question.what was going on ? Why did Fee mis something again?Looking at Cass the blonde nodded."Didnt that happen to all of us yet?",she winked,"dont worry.I am sure it isnt that bad."No matter in what situation you were involved you always only saw the bad aspects about it.

Oh waiiiit it was about a boy?Maybe Levi? Ohh nooooes."You were searching for who?",the Slytherin asked her bestie,"is there a new guy in your life?"DCass eemed to be pretty surrounded by them this term and Fee knew how that could be."You were jealous of his sister?",the almost third year giggled,"that only means you really do care for him."Cuuuute the bestie had a cruuuush.Lalalala.

Helena got extremely bored, so she got out of her compartment and strolled along the corridor. Until a lonely Slytherin caught her attention. She slided the door slowly, then smiled at the girl. "Hello," she hesitated, but it was too late now to simply run away. "Do you mind if I join you?"

Ad smiled. "Yeah, especially when you have the perfect victim. Do you know a fifth-now sixth-year Slytherin by the name of Justin Hendricks? That is my partner in crime and closest friend. I've know Justin since I was two." Ad laughed. She thought a little bit.

"So what do you want to do? I mean over the holidays." Ad asked politely.

"I was looking for a compartment." Cass answered..then she looked at Fee, she was pretty sure there were tears bordering her eyes now, but she could't help it, it was just so embarrassing...

"He's just a guy I met at the Whomping Willow, his name is Christopher, he's in our year..." Then she shook her head "Maybe I do, but not that way...no way."

Amidst her complaining and whining, Cass' eyes caught movement by their compartment door, she hurriedly wiped whatever tears were on her eyes, set Ice down on the seat beside her, pointed her wand at the door as it flew open with a thud. Then she faced the girl who had been peering in and asked "Hi, can we help you?" She had most certainly haven't seen this girl around before...

Bonjour? Wasn't this... French?

Uh... French was definitely not Helena's best foreign language, she just recognized a few words, but that was it.

She entered the compartment and closed the door behind her, then smiled again at the girl. Ah, she transferred. So... "You must be from Beauxbatons then, am I right?" If she was right... that was amazing. Helena had always wanted to see that school.

Oh, the name. She was so rude, forgetting to say her name. "It's nice to meet you," she said, smiling again. "I'm Helena."

"Nice to meet you Danielle, I'm Cass and over there is my friend Feenella." Cass said with a smile as she gestured to one of the empty spaces on the couch "Why don't you stay with us? I'm pretty sure you don't want to spend the whole trip standing up on the middle of the corridor." Then she turned sideways to take her cat back into her lap and turned her attention to the older girl once again "If you don't mind me asking...where did you transfer from?"

Helena grinned when Danielle said she was right. That was the reason she had never seen the girl around before. Hehe.

But then... "I'm sure you'll have a great time at Hogwarts as well," she said, smiling encouragebly. At least she was going to be the 'always available friend'.

"I just finished my first year," the girl said, her face slightly turning pink. But no worries, she'll grow up... old. Someday. "How about you?"

"Oh, Beubaxtons!" Cass repeated with a pleasant smile as she absently stroked Ice "My mother was from Beubaxton's..."

Then she nodded when she mentioned that she was entering her fifth year. "Oh, that means you would be taking the O.W.L.s next term."

K-Lee thought about it. "The name sounds familiar but I can't put a face to a Justin Hendricks." She smiled at how happy Adriane was at talking about him.

"Oh I'm not sure what I want to do. My cousin who used to live in America has come to work at the Ministry here, so I'm hoping I can hang out with Alexandria more." K-Lee said, remembering the trouble Alexandria had gotten the two of them into when they were hanging out.

Ad chuckled. "Brown hair, hazel eyes, Slytherin? Well, it doesn't matter. We have been through a lot together." Ad said softly. Yeah and most ofwhat happened shouldn't have. Two lives shouldn't have been lost. She thought bitterly.

"I see what you mean. The daughter of my...godfather just moved back from Japan. She's really cool and can make some awesome sushi!" Ad laughed. Ren'Ai could cook some good food.

She shifted her leg and winced when her foot accidently hit the seat. "Ow. That hurt." Ad turned to K-Lee. "I can tell that you're good at keeping secrets. Well, I want to show you something. You see, this freak accident happened at Justin's late cousin's house, and a whole lote of Justin's uncles's filing cabinets came crashing down on us, and a few actually crushed my leg. Ad said, and rolled up the leg up her jeans, showing K-Lee her torn up and swollen leg.

Hands in pockets Josh had been patrolling the narrow and crowded coridors of the Hogwarts Express. Yes, patrolling the coridors was not actually something he was supposed to do, it was the prefect people's business. He knew that. Yet there was a major difference: Josh's intention of patrolling the coridors was totally different than prefects'. Instead of aiming to spoil other people's fun, which prefects would call stopping the troublemakers, he was looking for something or someone to have fun with and hoping to see which compartment Evelyn had claimed as hers.

Passing by a group of younger girls who seemed to be in a deep conversation, the Gryffindor eyed the each compartment as he walked and inside of almost all of them were people who seemed to be doing boring things. Well...actually there were not much things to do in a train after all. However, when he came near the next compartment of which door was half open, he stopped right there and raised his eyebrows at the sight inside. Two very familiar she-snakes were sleeping inside, cats are busying themselves on their stuff on the floor. They were sleeping, right? Looked like they were but then why the door was not closed?

Well then the lion boy supposed he could do a favour for them. Hehehehe. Stepping forward he carefully opened the door a little more and walked in the compartment in silence. And once he was inside, he watched the girls for a moment or so with a smirk on his face which widened when he backed a little to the door. Then first pusing it open a little more, he grabbed the door handle and SLAMMED it close!!!

That would surely wake them up.

Mwahahahahaha!!

Make her?

Did she really just say that? Because Evelyn would! She so would make her.

In about an hour or so that is. Right now, she was just too tired to even breathe, so for now, her hand gave a little twitch as to wave off Destiny's challenge, and she snuggled a little more into a comfy place on the seat. Pfft. Make her. Yea, she'll make her. POOF! Go make Destiny close the door!

And now, a moments of silence. Or as much silence as they can get in a crowded and noisy train ride home with a bunch of excited younger and older students, but right now, it was pretty nice.

EEK!

Flail. Gosh darnit, where was her wand!? WHERE?! She was going to HEX...Josh. Oh yea, once she was done glaring at him, and after a good hour long nap, she was going to get her wand, and hex bunny ears on him. She WOULD.

Another large smile spread across Helena's face, even though hers was like a child..ish smile. Definitely not like Danielle's.

As for the years... She'll be a second year, so it was not a big difference between the two girls. Even though most of Helena's friends were older than her and they'll leave Hogwarts before she will.

But anyway.

"Did you get the chance to see anything around the castle?" Helena asked curiously, but mostly trying to make a conversation, because they'll have a lot to wait until they get to London. "It looks really amazing."

Elle boarded the Express and looked for an empty compartment. Most of them were full. But good thing there was room for her in the farthest compartment. She stared out of the window for a moment, thinking through all the events that happened in her First Year at Hogwarts. Sure, life was difficult as she tried hard to cope with all the lessons, spells and potions. But it was worth it and fun. She hoped for six more wonderful years at Hogwarts.

Replay of her memories: First classes, first friends Dianna, Cass, Alex, Freya, Joey and so many more, her assignments, the days she spent late at night studying, her first meeting with a warm an funny guy named Dan... Dan from Ravenclaw.

Elle sighed and thought what he was doing now. Would he be far away from her in the front of the train where most the Prefects and Head Boys and Girls would be seated? Or would he be in the middle? Or would he be really close to her, at the back of the Train? The redhead wondered and giggled. Why was she thinking this way? She was never good with boys...

Elle tried to stow her heavy duffel bag above the seat, but was too short to reach it. "Bloody hell, it sucks to be so petite and short. Can't even reach the railings!" she said to herself, as she was alone in the compartment. She tried tiptoeing to see if she could reach it, but to no avail, she still could not. Where were her brothers when she needed them?

Hehe.

Destiny totally WON that. Evelyn wasn't even going to attempt to make her do whatever it was she wanted her to do. Of course, she wanted to be smug about it and everything, but she was even too tired for that. Never again. NEVER again will she stay up all night. Nope. She would just take whatever prank her friend's would pull on her.

Mentally ginning because she was a WINNER, she too snuggled into her seat and ready to embark on a WONDERFUL sleep until the train ride was over, she closed her eyes.

Only to have to shot back open once she heard the very loud slamming of the door. Did Evelyn close it? Was it Poof? She wasn't even going to question Sly..he was too stupid.

But no, it was not any of them. It was none other than Josh. Destiny should have known it would be him. Who else would make something as simple as shutting a door turn into this huge loud thing? Pffft. She wasn't going to be sleeping now. On the bright side, though..

"The door is shut."

Just sayin'.

"Yes..she transfered from Hogwarts to Beubaxton's when she was in fouth year." Cass answered softly. Then she smiled when Danielle asked about Hogwarts "Well, its a wonderfully old castle. A bit worn, but you could really feel the history flowing around its walls..."

"What about Beubaxton's? What is it like? My mother used to tell me stories about it when I was a child, but I couldn't remember it now..."

"Well..how is it different from Hogwarts?" She asked

"Yes, my grandparents said mother had the same problem when she returned from school every break. she would constantly complain about how she missed the sun and that it was too cold in England." Cass said with a laugh as she remembered the entertaining tales her grandparents used to tell her when she was a little girl,

Justin boarded the train and sighed. He didn't exactly have much of a home to go to. His home had collapsed the summer before. But he had stuff to look forward to. Like being a sixth year. And he had the whole summer to cosider how to break up with Maddie and be with Ad properly. Right? He walked down the aisle looking for an empty compartmen. He came across a compartment and smiled. Not empty but he'd be very happy to sit in that compartment. "Mind if I join you, Miss Charday?" he asked, standing at the door leant against it. He hoped she'd let him sit with her for he didn't want to sit with anybody else.

Dallin laughed as she started stroking her 'beard.' He nodded slowly, a thoughtful look still on his face. "Definitely strange," He agreed. "But in a good way, yes?" Was there a good way to be strange? Hmm. If there was, Dallin was sure he'd be it. He couldn't help but laugh again when she stated the obvious. She was so... cute! For lack of a better word.

"Rome?" He repeated, his eyes widening again. "That's way cool! I've never been to Rome." He looked over at the window for a minute, then back to Aimée. "Although I've never been anywhere outside of the U.S. except London and Hogwarts. What are you going to do in Rome?"

He shrugged once to her question. "Beach, beach, and more beach. I've missed it." He smiled softly. By the time he went back to Hogwarts, he'd be incredibly tan... he was sort of disappointed that he'd lost his tan from the lack of sun at Hogwarts.

Aimée smiled - Dallin was so strange! Obviously she meant in a good way, because they were friends. "Yes, in a good way," she agreed with a laugh. "I do not zink you could be bad." No, he was just so... sweet, and lovely. Oh, well done with the adjectives there Aimée! She blushed a little, as if he could read her thoughts, then shook her head - no, she was being silly. He couldn't read her mind, just her face. SO STOP BLUSHING.

"Neizer 'ave I. Dad's always wanted to see everyzing zer, so et will be mainly sightseeing," she said. Which was fine by her; she had her camera at the ready, and she'd develope the pictures so that they moved. Luc and Andre loved them, she thought, mentally riding her brain of all trace of her twin brothers. "Oh, and eating pizza." Of course, she couldn't forget that - it would be like a crime!

Aimée mirrored Dallins soft smile. "I bet - I would eef I'd grown up zer and suddenly 'ad to move to somewhere cold." She shuddered - at least she was used to the English weather; Paris wasn't much better. "I zink I would 'ave liked to go ze beach. I like ze sea, and I 'aven't been Waterskiing or Scuba Diving since... well, since my mozer used to take me." That was the only bad thing about those sports.

Freya was wondering around the train looking for her two besties. Where were they? She cursed herself for being so slow and now she couldn't even found her two besties. Pfft!

Then she heard two very familiar voices from one of the compartment. Slowly she slid the door hoping that she was reaching the right compartment. The Slytherin sighed when she saw two familiar blonde haired girls sitting in the compartment. "Hey girls." she said with a bright smile. "What did I miss?" she asked.
