Front of the Train The driver and snack lady sit up front in the driver's cab, but there are plenty of other compartments up here. Prefects have their very own! |
Ah, silence. Pure... Silence... Aaron was smart this year. He was NOT going to bring Avery on the train. He was just going to let her fly to Hogwarts! Yes, that was a brilliant idea. Now, she won't be spazzing out for the first 15 minutes. However, he still had the cage clanging about. I can never win, can I? However, losing the one carry on... He had another. His oakshaft 2010 of awesome. The one he would lead the Slytherin Quidditch team onto victory with. Lugging his suitcase with one hand and his broom with the other, the man made his way onto the train. Even without Avery, it was very quiet. Aaron figured he was one of the first on the train. So, he moved down a few compartments. He didn't want to be in the first compartment, but he wanted to be up front. Once arriving at the compartment of his choosing, he slid the door open, and went inside. He looked out the window onto the platform and saw people leaving their families. He recalled when he was on the platform for his first time.... A loooooooong time ago. Throwing his stuff in the storage compartment, Aaron took his broom and a magazine down. Aaron sat down and waited for some of his friends to come aboard. |

As she made her way onto the train, she carefully held Snuggles cage and balanced Athena's empty one on top of her trunk. She had decided to let the owl fly like usual. She would make it there in time. Snuggles was starting to meow and she couldn't believe how antsy that cat was. Fallon looked into the compartments to see if there was anyone she knew there yet. Sure enough, there was Aaron sitting right near the front of the train. She opened the door and quickly set Snuggles down on the chair and let go of her other things before wrapping Aaron in an unexpected hug. "AARON!" Once she was done, she quickly put her trunk and Athena's cage up top and let Snuggles out of his. She wasn't going to listen to that cat complain the whole trip. |
Hogwarts...Hogwarts...finally...today is the day... Melrose took a deep breath in and let it out slowly. Now today was going to be the best day of her life and she was really happy for the first time in a long time. *smiles* Melrose walked up to the front of the train. she looked around adn everywhere seemed to be empty. Now she didn't want to sit alone. That would just make her looked like a loner. Maybe someone would ask her to join them. She didn't feel like asking really. She got up way to early today so she was to tired to do anything. Melrose smiled and held back a big yawn. She looked into some of the compartments but most of them were just empty. Frown. Melrose carried her two trunks. Yes two because she had to look great for the time being before any holiday break but she didn't want to come off as a person that only cared for what she looked like. she also didn't want to come off as a snobby little airhead because she isn't snobby and she isn't a airhead at all. |
Quote:
"Woah!" he said during all this. In fact, he may not have known who it was if Fallon hadn't shouted his name. "Hey, Fallon," the boy said laughing a bit after he was hugged. He watched his blonde friend scurry around the compartment putting things away and letting her cat out and all that. "I can't believe you didn't notice..." Aaron reluctantly said folding up the magazine in his hand. He looked down next to Fallon at his broom... Sitting there. "Also..." Aaron took out his Captain's badge for when the girl turned back to him. |
Quote:
She picked up Snuggles and sat next to the window. When she turned back to Aaron, Fallon was in for another surprise. "And you're Quidditch Captain?! Congrats Aaron! Told ya you'd get it." She smiled at her friend wanting to engulf him in another hug, but she was stuck now for Snuggles had decided that her lap was really comfortable. |
Meredith gave the biggest smile she have ever given. Today was the big day. She was going to Hogwarts!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY! She had been waiting her whole life for this!! She had heard so much about it! She took a seat in an empty compartment and gave a huge smile, hoping someone would sit with her. |
Quote:
He waited a few moments, but she didn't seem to notice he was behind her. "Can't find a compartment..?" |
Roderigo hopped the last step onto the scarlet steam engine, after throwing his trunk and placing his birdcage in front of him. Picking up both items, he began traversing through the slightly narrow aisle and began looking for an open compartment. Reaching one open compartment considerably close to the front door of the train, the Spaniard opened the door and heaved his trunk onto the rack above and placed the birdcage on the seat beside him. The snowy owl sleeping inside ruffled his head slightly, but continued to snooze with is beak tucked under his wing. Roderigo sat down and grunted softly. The gleaming sunlight shown off from the letters "RDL" emblazoned on his trunk and shown into his eyes. Shifting his position slightly so that the light no longer blinded him, he sat down comfortably, rummaging through is pockets for Great Expectations by Charles Dickens, and began reading. |
Quote:
Aaron blinked and saw that it wasn't coming. He let out a laugh and sat down next to Fallon, petting her cat after. "I really hope you try out," he said to his friend. "You're a great beater." He looked up from the cat to Fallon, smiling. |
Ella<3 Ellie lugged her trunk onto the train. She never found out whether magic was allowed in the station or not.. if it was, she'd been a fool last year and this. But, oh well. And since she'd entered at the front, the front was where she was staying. No way was she pulling, and tugging, and lugging her trunk any farther. The train was still fairly empty, and finding an empty compartment was no trouble at all. She shoved her trunk under the seat, and sat down, leaning against the window. Catching her breath, she pulled out the newest edition of Bludgers and Broomsticks, and began scanning the pictures. |
Quote:
"Bonjour." Mellie said in her French accent. "I'm Melrose Salvatore." Mel told him sweetly. Melrose looked at him. He's kind of cute she thought. |
Quote:
Fallon smiled down at her already sleeping cat as Aaron pet him. Snuggles started to purr louder and louder which made Fallon giggle a bit. She turned to her friend and smiled. "Of course I'm trying out! And thanks." She was not going to miss another term of Quidditch. Uh uh. No way was that going to happen. "So did you get to test out your new broom?" She remembered he lived in an apartment, but figured he would've found some way to practice with it. You always need to know how your broom is going to react. |
Quote:
"You're from France, I take it?" Evidently. He was simply making conversation. His eyes glanced around him before eventually landing back upon the blonde. |
Quote:
And so, he settled for a nearly-empty compartment somewhere in the front, occupied only by a boy who looked about his age and seemed too absorbed in his book to notice him. Quietly, the boy heaved his trunk (with great, great... great difficulty; his lanky arms weren't made for heavy-lifting) up and beside the other boy's. As he struggled to push the trunk back into place, Braeden's dark eyebrows rose slightly at the golden letters emblazoned on his mystery companion's trunk. Fancy trunk, he thought with admiration. Huh. It would be nice if he had his initials on his trunk too... It would certainly make it a lot easier to tell it apart from everyone else's (and it wouldn't be the first time he had taken someone else's trunk by accident). Braeden let out a long breath once his trunk was away and happy next to its pretty companion that just made Braeden's trunk look old and dirty. Merlin, that thing was heavy. He really needed to work on his arms (which were a bit sore now)... later. Now that the trunk was out of the way, Braeden was free to plop down on the seat opposite to the other boy in the compartment. He was quiet for a moment, just examining this curious character for a brief moment before his dark eyes fell to the book the boy was holding. Oooooh, Charles Dickens. "Ooooh, Charles Dickens." Braeden tended to just sort of repeat whatever his mind thought as it was being thought. Now he felt a little bad for interrupting the boy so rudely like that. "Oh-- sorry, please, keep reading... don't mind me," he quickly added, giving a small apologetic smile (that looked rather dorky; but it was hard not to seem a little dorky when you're Braeden). |
Quote:
Mel nodded. "I am...Paris." Melrose told him. "My brother went to Hogwarts last year." Mel said, sweetly. "So is this your first time at Hogwarts?" Melrose asked him. |
Quote:
"I did actually," Aaron said finally putting the Quidditch magazine down. "Iris let me try it out at her house." He picked it up his broom and held the handle out to Fallon for her to touch. "It's an Oakshaft 2010," The words came out of his mouth like they were programmed to come out for Fallon. "Doesn't make the sharpest turns. But it's SO smooth and powerful." Then he waited a moment. "Oh, and it's vintage. I like vintage." He nodded as if he was agreeing with himself. |
Nai hopped up on the train, big smiles as usual and her bag over her shoulder. This was a new year and her first year as a teenager. Not many would understand, but to her that was an important milestone. She was no longer a preteen but she admitted to herself that she wasn't a responsible teenager just yet. Responsible was not her thing. Yet. She'd take this year to learn how teenaged girls worked. Meaning she'd get more teenaged friends. Did responsible teenaged girls sit in the front? She had put make-up on her face this morning, better than she ever had without looking like a clown. Teenage girls did that right, woke up and did their hair every morning and showered with frilly scents and all that. She could learn that, it didn't look too hard. |
Quote:
Aah. "A Parisian? Wow, that sounds so chic." He nodded when she informed him that her brother attended the school last year. Briefly, he wondered if her brother was kicked out or something, seeing as she said 'last year.' Or, the likely answer was that he graduated. "Yeah.. it is, actually. How could you tell?" Was he that much of a dead-giveaway? |
Quote:
Fallon smiled. She was glad that Aaron got to try out his new broom. She reached out a hand to turn it so she could get a better look at the handle. She listened as he talked about the broom. She felt herself growing a little jealous. Fallon was going to be a sixth year and still didn't have a broom of her own. She hated using the school brooms. "That's so awesome Aaron." Oooo vintage. Vintage was cool. |
Quote:
Melrose nodded. "Well it is when you can afford the clothes in Paris which I'm lucky enough to be rich but I don't let all of the money go to my head. I don't go shopping that much only in the summertime and on my birthday if I'm not in school but I normally am in school because my birthday is in October." Melrose blabbed on. "I'm sorry I'm rabbling." Mel told him. "I just assume it because I don't know that many people here." Melrose told him. "I take it I'm right? Where did you go before I came here?" |
Quote:
She was going to sit in the front because she was too lazy to go back any further. Chyeah. Walking to an compartment she opened the door and saw a girl sitting there. "Yo, I'm Violet. Can I sit here?" Yeah, she said yo because she was cool like that. |
Quote:
"Sure." she answered with a small smile. It's not like she was expecting anyone, really. "I'm Ellie." She kinda half closed her magazine, unsure of whether there was going to be conversation between them or not. But in case there wasn't, she wasn't going to lose her page. |
rex gwts on the front of thee train. He finds an empty car. He waits for his girl Rene, his family, Victoria and Joey and his friends like Fee. |
Quote:
What to do. What to do. What to dooo. Small talk would be good, yeah? Yeah. She looked at the girl who seemed to be a bit younger than her. "So um. What house and year are you going to be in?" She thought that that would be good start. |
Quote:
Ellie fully closed her magazine to talk properly, without seeming rude or anything. "I'm going into my third year. Ravenclaw." she answered. "And yourself?" Surely Violet wasn't much older than herself. |
Quote:
"Do you like Dickens too?" he asked. "He's one of my favorite authors." he placed a small piece of paper that Roderigo had made into a bookmark into the book to save his place, and placed the book at his side. Leaning forward ever so slightly, his dark emerald eyes scanned the man in front of him. The boy had a lighter complexion than Roderigo's, though that wasn't saying much because he himself was barely tan. But he seemed nice. Roderigo analyzed people that way, he was too sure why, but he seldom found a person he didn't get along with. Deciding to take initiative, he leaned forward and reached out to Braeden. "My name is Roderigo," he said through a hybrid Spanish and British accent. "Roderigo De Lacerda." |
Quote:
And then she started talking about clothes. And money. And summertime. And birthdays, and whoa she could really talk your ear off! He smiled politely though, and listened, and when she apologized for rambling, he shook his head. "No, it's nothing." He too was fortunate enough to come from a somewhat wealthy background, but he skimmed over the fact and asked further about her liking of Paris. "And do you like living in a big city like Paris? I'm sure you can get tired of tourists scampering around the city of love." She was right, and he had said as much. "I previously attended Durmstrang, but I'm enthusiastic about Hogwarts." And the houses.. hmm. He wondered which he'd be sorted into. |
Elle was dumbfounded as she saw the Hogwarts Express for the enth time. She had been here to say good bye to her brothers many years before, but this time, she was going to ride in it. Her brothers were with their friends, looking for good seats while they left Elle here to wait for her friends' arrivals. They knew it was safe so they were confident on leaving her. Elle had always been a brave little girl. Her parents dropped them off at the station but had to leave since they had some jobs to do. "It's okay, Elizabeth Woods. You're a fierce girl, so anyone who decides on hurting you will not have a chance." She reassured herself as she stood by a post, cage in hand and a large heavy suitcase beside her. She was wearing her own Hogwarts uniform. Boy was it nice! It felt so comfy and luxurious at the same time. Elle looked around, tiptoed since everyone was way taller than her. Where were her friends? She must be too early.. |

Quote:
"Oh! Well, I dunno about Dickens but his stuff is pretty good," said Braeden. Leave it up to him to take the question literally and believe that Roderigo wanted to know if he knew Dickens personally. "Shame he was a muggle, he could have at least turned into a ghost; though to be honest I've only ever really finished one of his books completely. But it was enough to turn me into a fanatic," Braeden shared with a lopsided grin. As the boy then introduced himself as Roderigo with a very interesting accent, Braeden returned the handshake fervently for a moment. "Braeden Stonem," he introduced himself with another one of those happy-go-lucky dorky smiles of his that made him look at least three years younger. "Cool name," he commented casually as he leaned back into his seat, as if they were talking about... quills or something like that; as if the boy had just chosen to be given his name because it sounded 'cool'. "De Lacerda..." he muttered thoughtfully (murdering the last name with his heavy British accent), "Where's that from?" |
Quote:
Aaron smiled and nodded, feeling a bit bad that Fallon doesn't have a broom, either. He always felt like he was the odd one out for not having a broom of his own, but Fallon didn't have one either. Suddenly, the Captain got an idea. "Hey, Fallon. When we get to school, would you like to try it out, a couple of times?" |
Quote:
Melrose asked him about the houses, and he could only give a shrug. "I'm really not very familiar with the characteristics of the houses yet, and I doubt I'd be able to change the mind of that hat anyway, so I can't say I'm too concerned. Whichever one will suit me best, then that's the one I'd like," he told her with a chuckle. "How about you?" |
Quote:
|
Quote:
"Let's wait for our other friends to come so we can sit near each other during the trip." Suggested Elizabeth. |
Quote:
So the kid was a little younger than Violet. And in a different house. Interesting. "I'm going to be a fifth year. And I'm in Slytherin." she said, proudly. Heh. It was kind of fun for her to finally say she had met someone younger than her since most of the people she knew were a bit older. She needed a nickname for this girl. Hmm. Ooh. "Imma call you Little Ell for short, okay?" |
Quote:
Little Ell? Woah. "No..." Not okay. Why would she want to be called 'Little'. She wasn't that small. HMPH. |
Quote:
Violet pulled a mellow face before replying. "....no. You should be glad I gave you a nickname. I don't just give anyone a nickname you know." Okay, well she did but still. Little Ell should be more gratefull. |
Quote:
But, she thought that maybe two could play this game. Maybe. "How 'bout I call you Big Vi, then?" She still didn't like it, though. And she really hoped she wouldn't have to call her 'Big Vi'. It made Violet seem superior. |
Quote:
|
Quote:
"Nope. Just call me Violet." Usually, people listened to her when she said she didn't want a nickname but she wasn't so sure about Little Ell. |
Quote:
"Hey Elle." she said as she approached the girl. She look good in her new Hogwarts uniform although even that couldn't hide the fear and nervousness in the girl's eyes. She also smiled at the other girl who was chatting with Elle. She's seen her before although she knew they weren't in the same year. |
This is really....really short.:/ Quote:
Smirk. "So, Big Vi, ready for the new term?" Moving on. Ellie was GRINNING on the inside. |
Raven get aboard the train, he manage to carried his trunk and Aguiluz's cage. Raven wander around the train, he is not bored, in fact he is investigating the train, he also hope to find empty cubicle to sit in. |
Quote:
She paused when she spotted one familiar face, the naive Braeden. Evangeline smiled, leaning against the compartment door. "Hey Braeden, mind if I join you?" If she hadn't completely scared him off, that was. |
S'okay<3 Quote:
Okay, now she could answer the other question. "I'm ready, yeah. I'm excited about it." Especially, since there seemed like there was a lot of new people. "Are YOU ready, Little Ell?" |
Quote:
"I am." So far. "Quidditch'll be back and everything will be alright." |
My post is a fail. >_< Quote:
Hmph. Blah. Quidditch. "I don't like sports, so I'm not a big fan of Quidditch." well she used to be, but not anymore. Chyeah. |
Quote:
Naww. No way. "That's such a shame. You do come to the matches, right? To cheer your house on?" Because if she didn't, Ellie would have to force her to. |

Tay giggled, showing Cass the ring properly- "Yes, it is what you think it is. I mean, obviously we're not getting married now- but, when we turn 16. I know to some people it just seems stupid. But honestly, Cass- I know I'm supposed to be with him, that we're always going to be together!" she giggled excitedly, grinning widely at Cass- "And yeah, my summer has been pretty eventful!" Yeah, that was an understatement! "And, of couse you shall be invited to the wedding Cass, whenever it may be! And you shall meet the lucky guy around Hogwarts somewhere!" she said kindly- smiling and hugging Cass excitedly again. "So, excited to get back to school?" she asked Cass. |

"So, are there any guys in the pipeline Cass? You say you've been flirting- but are you crushing on anyone?!" Tay giggled- smiling encouragingly at Cass. Tay loved gossip, way too much! |

SPOILER!!: My dearest Slytherin girls :) Freya turned around when she heard a very familiar voice calling her name "Cass." she hugged her besties. "I miss you." she chuckled. They just met a couple days ago in the Diagon Alley and she already miss her. "Ready for Hogwarts?" she asked grinning widely. Then she noticed another blonde girl approaching them "Tay" she waved to her and returned her hug. "I miss you too, hun" she said with a smile. "Well, my summer had been Incredibly, unfulfilled." she chuckled. "What bout you?" she asked Tay. Then the last addition to the awesome Slytherin girl who just coming towards them is Fee. "Feee" she shouted and hugged her. "I miss you so much." she said happily. Now all her Slytherin besties were here. Wow. Ho cool is that? "Oh. I couldn't wait to go back too." she said excited. She really couldn't wait to go to Hogwarts to start the new term. |

Tay held onto the kitten and aww-ed. "Hey little one!" she giggled, cuddling the kitten and giggling. "You are just too cute!" she said, as the cat me-owed happily. Tay smiled at Freya. "Oh well, we only saw each other like, what- a week ago- not much has changed since then! But yeah- it's been a.... good summer!" she giggled, still holding onto the adorable kitten, who was trying to swipe at her engagement ring- so she moved one of her hands, sat down and sat the kitten on her lap. |
Quote:
wait a second, cass has a cat? she never knew that...she knew of the owl but the cat? "cass, i'm so sorry..." she said and bent down to look at the cat in cass's arms, hoping it wasn't terrified. "i'm sorry....do you hate me?" she aksed. it was silly to talk to a cat, but that was heather, she's really childish. |

Anyone :) I like to RP :3 Bummer. The front of the train was jam-packed. And there were no empty compartments. If he could, he'd jump straight out the window for he wasn't thrilled about attending Hogwarts anyway but then, he'd have nowhere to live. Sometimes, not having a family sucks. And so, he stood right in the middle of the narrow hallway as he waited for a vacant compartment. |

Arabella-Marie pulled out a book from her bag that she had beside her it seemed as though she was in for a pretty lonely journey unless somebody came and chatted to her |

"Eh...." He was still slightly stumped. On the other hand, the girl continued to blabber. "One sec!" He said, plopping down on the seat opposite to her and covered his face with his hands, taking his chance to calm himself and apparently, succeeding at it. "Okay...Hi!" He finally uttered, faking a small smile while the girl took off the cap, exposing her long hair and fluttering her blue eyes. "It's...nice to meet you..umm.. Joey. I'm Maxim and perhaps, a Slytherin." He was still not sorted and everyone and their dogs knew that he'd eventually end up in Slytherin. Quote:

But if Tay fiance gonna be in Ravenclaw that mean there will be two Ravenclaw and Slytherin couples. Well, she couldn't say the other one was a couple just yet. "So Tay, are you going to try out for our house team?" she asked. |
