Levi sat back against the seat, trying to regain a little composure. He hadn't been anticipating for this to happen. He really loathed his unpredictable luck at times. Just when he thought things were going so great, something crappy like this had to spring out of nowhere. Of all the times for this mess to go on. His third year had actually been a lot better than his second and first but of course, his contentment couldn't last forever. Somehow, his life always managed to go south again...

He looked out the window, still feeling her glare at the back of his head. What more did she want from him? He never lied to her, he had even, subtly, admitted to eavesdropping but it wasn't totally his fault. He had been a victim of bad timing. It also didn't help that Cass hadn't really bothered with him towards the end of the semester. It was only a few hours ago when they were able to talk to each other again. He had a reason to be concerned, maybe a bit paranoid.

He listened to her but he couldn't bring himself to meet her eyes again. Little sister or not, the idea of this Christopher guy having a girlfriend provoked jealousy out of her. It sounded like she was interested him and it wasn't a promising sign.

"If you wanna chase after him, be my guest..." Levi muttered. Cass shouldn't have had to chase anybody--she was better than that. Was. "Obviously I bore you to death and I mean nothing, right?"

Cass wasn't expecting that reply. She was expecting him to fight...to stand up for himself...but he just..gave way. It was greatly frustrating. How come he couldn't see her point? It was merely the fact that she was wrong was why she freaked out, not because she thought he had a girlfriend. But he couldn't see it, or maybe he refused to.

She could feel tears suddenly dripping from her eyes, she didn't know if it was because of the anger, or the disappointment, or the built up emotions...She hand flew to her cheek as she wiped them away, but they just kept on streaming down...

Then she slung her bag over her shoulder, placed the sleeping kitty in it, making sure to keep her head out for air, and gripped her wand tightly. For a moment, she considered hexing him...but it wasn't his fault. No. So instead, she flicked her wand over the direction of her friends and lifted the charm that she had cast earlier. Then she stood up and made her way across the compartment towards the door.

FOR EVERYONE IN THE COMPARTMENT. ESPECIALLY FEE AND FREYA

"I-I'll see you in London guys, ok? I..I just need something from the trolley." She said unconvincingly. There were tear tracks from her eyes down to her cheeks and her face was all red...surely they don't believe that she was alright?? but it was the Slytherin inside her that told her to keep up a strong front

Then she addressed Rex, "Just send me an invite, ok? I'll miss you." before turning to Fee and Freya "If you guys still want to sleep over, you're welcome to do so..." Then she slid the compartment door open and walked out.

" I believe you coulld race" Rex told Cass, " When we were at your party, you had just learned to swim" Rex said to Cass. " I believe in you and you should too" Rex explained to Cass.

Telling Evan where she lived and that her mother owned and worked at a magical creature’s hospital came out naturally. It wasn’t anything she had planned to tell him but it felt nice to share something about her life outside school to Evan. Sophie saw that the creature hospital got his attention but he didn’t ask anything.

Instead he just hoped they would get the tickets. Smiling she replied "Thanks, father is out a bit late when it comes to getting tickets but we’ll see." It was then she remembered that Evan wasn’t a quidditch fan. Sophie’s heart skipped an involuntary beat when Evan said that they might meet in the Alley. "I’d like that, if it happened." She mumbled back not wanting to make him run out of the compartment or get her hopes up.

Sophie smiled a little when Evan decided to not beat around the bush anymore. Twirling her thumbs around and around the lioness asked tentatively "Are you still mad at me for what I said that day in the lake?" If he wasn’t then did he still like her?

"Yeah, it really did!" Katelynn said and smiled. She couldn't help giggling after listening to Benjamin endless talking. How cute! "I'm gonna miss it too, but my mum's a witch, so I'm not going to be completely isolated.. Plus, I'm exited to be able to play Quidditch all day! Yeah, I'm a first year" Katelynn said. "Well no, in classes I usually just like to listen rather then talk.." She chuckled at Benjamin's comment about her being a Claw. "Well, I guess - but not everyone is. I mean, I love having fun too! It's not just all about reading.. Like - you're a snake, but you're not evil right?" she said with a grin.
Katelynn smiled at the boy. "Yeah, sure! Maybe we can meet in Diagon Alley sometime?" she asked.

"No, it's not my broom, it's just," began Kelley, "I have other stuff going on. But I really would love to go."

Samira watched as the boy-Anakin-tilted his head and looked at her. She smiled as he invited her in and sat down across from him. She wondered vaguely why he wanted to sit so close to the door. Personally, Samira liked to be far away from the door, but she liked to be able to see who she was talking to, and sat down. "Nice to meet you, Anakin," she smiled politely and extended a hand to shake. "Samira Spinks."

Maisie did seem like a happy, nice girl... the kind which you couldn't just go and prank them or say mean things to- or you'll feel guilty big time!
She nodded, "I sure will. You're pure blood?" She was a Slytherin right? It was a big possibility then. Not that Louisa really cared, but she seemed pretty cool with going and staying at another wizard's family you know.

Louisa tucked the few left candy into her robe and laid her back on the seat. Sleepy, she was supposed to be running high from all the sugar but the train was getting to her. And speaking of sleep, "You two should meet my cat Kitty.. you know once she wakes up and doesn't act crazy." in a bitter tone. "You guys have pets?" She looked around looking for any.

Timothy inclined his head, "Well of course you can leave whenever you wish, and I don't mind whoever may come over, as long as they tell us first!" He laughed, "And naturally you can go home any time you desire, I think we will have a portal to the floo network. If not, then maybe Uncle Nath can teach you to apperate."

Asking blood status was a sure strange thing to do. Timothy furrowed his brow and continued to nibble on the chocolate. He glanced around the compartment looking for a cat that could be running around. "I would like to meet him, it would be interesting." He paused, "No I have no pets of my own, I never saw the need for them myself."

Shrugging slightly, Evan said "My father's usually the same--always late, but we always manage to find tickets." It was a matter of who you ask, really. To ask the right people were the key here, like a season ticket-holder. Though, finals didn't have any seasonal holders. He still couldn't see why a girl like Sophie would enjoy such a harsh game, but he learnt not to question people's passion for Quidditch much. It was related to how you were raised, he guessed. Like his first introduction to football--if Chelsea hadn't played so well at his first match ever, he would probably be supporting Liverpool. Luck was on his side, that day.

Looking up at actually her eyes, he let himself smile a little bit at her response. Yeah, if they managed to solve their issues, why not. He'd like to see her, just like he wanted to see Marie and the rest of his friends. He was taking it slowly this time; he didn't want to assume/plan anything. Live just now, and think about future later.

Having the courage to look at her eyes now, he raised his eyebrows in confusion for a moment when he couldn't understand which day she meant. It couldn't be with Sebby, they had hardly talked then... oh right, the reason of their awkwardness...

"...No, not mad..." he said, playing with the keychains in his pocket. "Not anymore, at least," he added. He had been mad at the first time, but as time passed and especially after Seb's party, he had softened... and considered some other stuff... yeah, end of his explanations until further questions.

Freya eyes flitting between Cass and the boy who sat in front of her and Cass. She wondered who the boy was. Was he Levi? The blonde hiared Slytherin wasn't quite sure.

When the Slytherin turned her gaze back to her bestie, she saw that Cass was ready to go from the compartment. What happened? Did they already arrive in London? No she didn't think so because the train hadn't stopped. Okay now she was really confused.


"I'm glad that you think its funny." she chuckled. "Yeah. I do hope too." she nodded her head. It'd be very awkward if she meet with Rene at the wedding. "Unfortunately no." she shook her head. "Maybe next year." Freya grinned.

Tickets, did Evan mean Quidditch tickets or football tickets? Sophie believed it was the latter. Shrugging she shifted her position on the seat kicking off her shoes and pulling her legs up under her. "My father works in the Magical Games & Sport’s department that is organizing the world cup so hopefully he’ll get a hold of some good seats if he doesn’t need to work that is." The excitement about watching a quidditch game was the speed, the game itself and of course the team participating. She also thought some of the players were cute but she didn’t say that to Evan.

If they could get passed the awkwardness then the brunette wouldn’t mind spending time with him in Diagon Alley. No pressure of course. Sophie didn’t want to put him in the situation where Evan had to choose between her and his girlfriend, because that would be unbearable for the both of them with too much emotional baggage.
Sophie gave a small sigh of relief when Evan said he wasn’t mad at her anymore.

Cautiously she said not looking at him "I’m not mad at you either." She let a few minutes pass in silence before meeting his gaze again "I’ve broken up with Sebastian. It doesn’t have to change anything between us but I thought you should know. I wasn’t sure if he told you that the other day at the willow or not." It was best to leave all the cards out in the open.

" Well, your personal life is more important" Rex told Kelley." I hope you make the wedding" Rex said to Kelley." Remember, your family comes first, then your boyfriend, then close freinds and tthen otheres" Rex explained to Kelley.

" You have always had a good mood and have been funny" Rex told Freya." I am going to look for Rene on the trian" Rex said to Freya. "She can be late sometimes just like most of you girls" Rex laughed. "Well, I hope you get one too next year" Rex smiled.

Amy searched the back of the train for her best friend "Maisie!" she said happily as she opened the compartment door. "hello" she said to the other people sitting across from Maisie "I'm Amy"

Aimée giggled when Dallin thanked her, although she knew he wasn't completely sure what she'd meant. In all honesty, she wasn't completely sure what 'good strange' was, but it was still 'good', wasn't it? It must be, otherwise she wouldn't really want to be sat with him. But she did, which was good. "My pleasure," she managed, with another giggle.

Shrugging, she considered Dallins question. "It esn't really a dumb question," she said, smiling, before shrugging again. "I do not really know - I 'ave never been zere before, but my dad has books on it at 'ome. Zere's zis massive fountain zat's meant to be really lucky, and lots of zeaters, and a tower zat looks like it is falling over. I zink it is 'eld up by magic, but I wouldn't tell a Muggle zat, zey zink it's just clever." Hmmm. So yeah, there was probably more to see, but Aimée didn't really know - that was one of the reasons that she was eager to go. "Zat 'as to be ze best zing about the place, no?" she added. Of course, it was food.

The lake? "I don't s'pose the Lake is as warm as the ocean?" Aimée said, grinning. And cold water wasn't all that nice, although Aimée hadn't exactly attempted to swim in the lake at Hogwarts, no way. "It's amazing," she said, nodding. "Quite scary zough - the 'ole idea of being underwater with a load of sharks." Although she had only seen one shark, from a distance.

Evan nodded again, unsure what else to say. He thought of offering that his father looks for tickets too; but then again he couldn't see what good it would make. He was far beyond the age to impress girls with his parents and their powers. Plus, if her father, who worked for the Games section, couldn't find any tickets, the Slytherin couldn't see how his father could. Instead, he only chose to say "He might have to work, y'know. Even my father works, and he's in the International Cooperations." To greet the international people and so on. He wasn't going to watch the game though, unless he was invited by a generous foreign man.

Smiling softly, he said "I'm glad," when she announced she wasn't angry with him. That was good to know. Listening on, he was surprised to hear she didn't know what Sebby had told him at the 'party'. He thought she would know her boyfriend's--ex-boyfriends--ideas about him. Though, he could understand why she didn't know; he wouldn't have told his girlfriend on top of a recent break-up that he thought someone else was the best for her, neither.

"He told me," he said, along with a few other things. "I'm sorry for you, you were nice together." Now that Sebby was gone, Evan could speak openly about him. Hehe. Then, watching outside for a few ten seconds, he turned back at her again.

"Would you like anything to change, though?" he asked openly, just like that. He didn't know where his courage came from, but she was the one to have wanted to talk... and they were talking. Quite openly. Causing him to stop breathing until she answered.

Yeah, all fine.

Christopher set off down the corridors of the back of the train, wondering where Cass had run off to. He'd felt totally bad about having to blow her off, but he didn't want to wake up his sister. Now that Elyon was up-and-Adam, he'd set off to find Cass, but she wasn't in the front or middle section of the train, so this was the last place he could think of to look for her.

He was just about to head back to his own compartment when he heard a familiar voice. Aha! He turned to a compartment, where he bumped into her in the doorway. "Oh, sorry! I was just looking for you, Elyon just woke up......" He smiled at Cass, but trailed off quickly. Something was wrong. It didn't take a genius to figure it out, and Cass was to brave to care what others thought of her to try and cover up her tears. "Cass..... are you alright?" He hoped he hadn't been his fault she was upset, but he doubted she'd be upset over something as tiny as their brief run in earlier. She was much stronger than that, he could tell. Slytherins would be Slytherins!

Peering around to see if anyone in the cabin could help fill him in on what had just happened, he saw a few familiar faces, though must of the people inside were strangers to him. He smiled at the two boys he recognized, a curious look still on his face. He looked first to an older boy, one he knew was friends with his younger sibling. "Hi Rex, I'm Christopher, Elyon's brother, remember? I'm quite sure you and her are friends."

He turned back to another acquaintance; a dark boy closer to his age, some one to whom he had talked to once before in the dormitory. "Oh hey! It's Levi right?" He grinned, remembering the once-soaking wet Gryffindor. "I'm Christopher James, if you forgot." He stuck out a hand to shake the other boy's, something he always did out of politeness and respect.

Belle was startled, she was in a transe she always get when she goes on long train rides. "Hi Rex! My name is Belle Lecium and this owl here my best friend her name is Charlene." she smiled. Belle grinned to Rex, "Isn't that hard to notice huh? That i am happy to go back home to my family. But what grade are you in or were you in?"

None of those things sounded especially familiar to Dallin, except the tower. He tried to remember if he'd learned about Rome in school, but from what he could remember, history classes were more about U.S. History. After all, he'd only gone to Elementary school with muggles, then it was Merlins.

It wasn't like he was paying attention one hundred percent, anyway. He had kind of zoned out for a sec and just paid attention to Aimée's accent. When she stopped talking, though, he realized that he should say something before she suspected that he hadn't been listening to the words. So he said, "Isn't it something like, The Leaning Tower of Pizza?" That sounded... not exactly right to him, but it was the best he could come up with. "And honestly, I've never thought about it being held up by magic. It kind of makes sense." Weird, how you could look at things differently when you knew about the wizarding world.

He shook his head, frowning. "It's not. I never really went swimming in it, though. I mostly just went in to here." He jabbed his waist with the side of his hand and shrugged. He chuckled when she mentioned sharks. "I dunno, I mean I swim with sharks all the time," he winked. "Not like, with them right there of course. I mean... I've never seen a shark in the ocean when I was in it." He shook his head once. That definitely would've scared him though.

"I'm glad you understand," said Kelley. "And, really, I'll try to make it to the wedding." She smiled kindly.

Ad looked down. "Yeah. And you're welcome. I could tell somehow." Ad smiled wincing sightly. She rubbed her leg slightly.

Ad looked up. "The really sad part is...it happened last summer." Ad said, trying not to remember JUST what happened that horrible day.

OOC: To see where Ad's leg gets crushed, you can go to Westerly Manor in the Vanishing Cabinet.

" Christopher, I do remember that you are Elyon's brother" Rex told him. " I am a friend of Elyon's " Rex said to Christopher. " She is a relly good girl, take care of her" Rex explained to Christopher.

" "Well, hello Belle" Rex smiled at her. " Hello Charlene" Rex told the owl. " Happiness is good when you are seeing your family" Rex said to Belle." I just graduated from HogWarts , getting married and opening a dance studio" Rex explained to Belle.

" Understanding is one of my qualities" Rex told Kelley. " Happy to have you at the wedding" Rex smiled. "What year are you going to be at HogWarts next time?" Rex asked Kelley.

"yeah I'm pureblood! But see..my parents kinda like..well they either walked out on me, died, or some other tragedy, so actually I grew up in an orphanage in America, but then last summer, I was adopted, so now I live across the street from my very best friend in the world! Oh, and its a ranch/farm house! Whata bout you Louisa?" she asked with a grin, truthfully, she didn't miss her parents! The biggest chance was that they didn't want her so they walked out
on her! Plus, she had never met them anyways! And she loved her parents, house and all the people with her now! She didn't want to feel sorry for herself! She had everything she needed right here!

"okay thanks Tim!" she said and lightly hugged him, "I don't have any pets! Well, I have a bunch of cows, pigs, horses, goats, and stuff like that, but they're not here with me! Oh! And I have a cat back home!" she said with a grin, "a magical cat!"


"AMY!" maisie screeched and bolted towards her best friend and hugged her, she didnt let go immediately, instead she clung to her and rested her head on her shoulder and said, "oh Amy! Where have you been? I love you!" she said and patted her hair, then grabbed her wrist and pulled her inside, "Amy, this is Louisa, my new friend, Louisa, this is my very best friend, Amy!" she then turned to Timmy, "Timmy, this is Amy my best friend, Amy, this is Timothy, but I like to call him little Timmy, and your welcome to as well!" she said and winked at her boyfriend, "Amy, timmys my..boyfriend." it didn't feel right saying that, she didn't expect it felt as it should have. But she ignored the feeling, and pulled Amy down next to her on the seat.

Charlene hooted and look at Belle with her amber eyes. "That means she says hello." she said as she read her owls reactions. "Wow i am only going into my second year..i am soo young compared to you." she said. She heard he was teaching dance classes,"Oooh what kind of dance are you going to teach?" she asked keen in intrest. "I love doing hip hop dancing! I love it soo much and i am gonna love going back to it back in the muggle world."

"So it hasn't healed completely yet?" K-Lee asked about the leg. If it hadn't healed and it had been almost a whole summer... wow....

There was an awkward sort of silence, which K-Lee broke by pulling out a few sweets from her pocket. "Chocolate frog?" She asked nervously, holding one out.
