Zoey laughed. "Zoey Ashford. And I'm a..." What was she, fourth year? Yeah. "Fourth year. I haven't been sorted yet so I guess we'll see." Hmm, seventh year. Okay so Arienna was only a few years older than herself. "It's nice to meet you Arienna."

She crossed one leg over the other then quickly uncrossed it, feeling fidgety. She shrugged at the question. "Not really. I mean I guess I'm looking forward to actually getting there but I originally had no intention of coming to Hogwarts in the first place."

Yup. Then dad just had to screw everything up.

Luke nodded. "Can't wait! Going to be s good year." I hope. He thought and smiled. Luke looked at the cat and laughed. "You are a smart little thing aren't ya?"

Luke looked at Heather. Ah a first year...kinda like him. Haha. "Second year but it's my first time at Hogwarts."

Zoey Ashford. The name and the voice were committed to memory. "Funny. I came to Hogwarts in my fourth year as well," she nodded. She didn't mention that she came against the wishes of her whole family--but she figured it wasn't necessary. "And you can call me Ari," she added.

She listened to her explain that she didn't really want to come to Hogwarts, feeling her emotions cycle to defiance and spitefulness. "Well, hopefully your mind will change once you've been here awhile. It's not the absolute best wizarding school, but it's better than a lot I could mention," she mentioned with a grumble, then gave a small laugh. "There's virtually no one at Hogwarts who's bound to get on your bad side, and those who are, aren't mature enough to get over themselves."

"Oh that's cool." Heather said while smiling down at the cat and rubbing his head. "I've never really even done any magic before." She told Luke. "I hope I'm not a total menace."

Luke laughed. "Don't worry about it. You wouldn't have gotten a letter to Hogwarts if you didn't have magic. And besides I'll bet you'll do well." He placed his ferret on his lap and scratched it behind her ears.

"Thank you." Heather said smiling. She looked down at the ferret. "What's her name?"

Zoey smiled. "Oh wow, really?" Hmm, so it wasn't uncommon for people to start in late. Well that was good to know at least. "Cool, okay so Ari then." she liked it.

She nodded in agreement. "I hope so, I don't want to be miserable there. I'm sure it'll be great." Zoey said optimistically. She nodded at what Ari pointed out. "I guess you're bound to find negative people everywhere anways." She added with a shrug. Just a fact.

Still without a clue as to why Legend decided they needed to get on the train right then and there when they still had a few minute before the last warning whistle would blow and the Hogwarts Express would leave the station, the Hufflepuff chose not to worry about it and sighed, flicking a wild curl out of in front of her eyes as she followed silently behind the much taller figure.

Stopping at the compartment door as Legend set the pets down, Katie's eyebrows raised. Had he really just said that? Such an odd, awkward thing to say.. upon entering a compartment. Once again deciding to let it go (which she had been doing a lot of recently), the curly-haired girl slipped inside and, after lifting Waterfall's carrier and putting Nova's underneath, took the seat beside them. "So.." Now what? Katie went for the first thing that came to mind, or rather had already been on her mind, her voice unusually quiet. Or maybe not so unusal as of lately, whenever she actually spoke to him. Which admittedly, hadn't been often at all. "Any reason you hurried on the train like some kid had lit your pants on fire?"

Luke nodded. "No problem." He liked being nice. It was one of his many talents. When she asked her question he blinked in confusion. Ohh!! "This is Riena. Just got her and my owl, Leta." Speaking of his owl where excatly was she? o.O Oh welll (:

Ivan looked at Lexi and laughed, "Nope I've never been on a train. Mum's got a driver." His eyes stared out the window watching the scenery go by swiftly. This was kind of cool. "It's not so bizarre really...well I don't think so anyway." He laughed and leaned back against the seat letting her lean into him more.

He smiled as he heard her words. She relaxed when she saw him. Now if that didn't make him the happiest person ever nothing would. "Well hopefully you can." Was there really that much drama at this school? Man.... "Well then I guess we have a lot of time to ourselves." He smirked and leaned against her, "I know...let's play a game. Tell me something I don't know about you."

It was bizarre there was no doubt about it. Not everyone had a driver or whatever... Letting it drop though she smiled to herself. "Time alone sounds great to me, actually. We can hang out in the library... oh I hope you get sorted into Gryffindor house, Ivan. That would be amazing," she said softly as she took his hand in hers and laced their fingers together.

"Oooh.. I am not sure there is anything that you don't know about me, really. Ummm... I have a little brother named Freddie... an adoptive brother that is. Did I ever tell you that?" she said as she tried to think up something better to share with him. "What about you? Are you a spy like Miles?" she asked with a fit of giggles.

"Aww, I love little critters." Heather said. "May I pet her?"

Luke smiled. "Of course you can." He looked down at Riena and smiled.

Heather held out her hand allowing the ferret to sniff it. She then pet her behind the ears and smiled. "She's so cute."

Braeden turned his brown eyes toward the compartment door as an all too familiar voice filled the air. At the sight of Evangeline, his eyebrows rose nearly to his hairline before allowing a grin to adorn his face ever so dorkily. "It's Hollywood!" he announced suddenly (he'd decided this would be her new name, which he found fit perfectly with her American actress secret identity). "Of course you can join us," he added, turning to Roderigo. "This is Evangeline, she's a famous American act-- wait, I wasn't supposed to say that, was I?" Braeden asked, brows furrowed. "Or was the whole secret agent thing the real secret?" Leave it up to Braeden to reveal every mortal secret in the world just after he had promised he wouldn't tell a soul (his cluelessness was completely unintentional, of course).

"Ah! Not--not that she's really any of those things," Braeden quickly tried to cover the secret back up as he turned to Roderigo, hoping the boy hadn't really caught any of his blurt outs. "She's-- she's just-- she's new," he concluded. Best to leave it at that.

"And, uh, Evangeline... this is Roderigo," now he introduced the girl to the new boy. "He's from a land far and mysterious..." he added in a tone that was supposed to evoke a sense of mystery. In reality it just made him sound like the dork he was.

Dragging his trunk with him to a nearby empty compartment, Stephen didn't even want to be here anymore. The friends he made had graduated already and he barely spoke to anyone in his own year or house. Only reason he was here was because Tyler attended and lived nearby, but now the idiot lives in Spain with his girlfriend. Lexi was nowhere to be found either so this was a bust. Not even Kat was around here. Slidding in, before a newbie got to it, Stephen closed the door behind him and just threw himself on the compartment seat.

Wasn't like anyone was actually going to join him.

Making himself more comfortable he ran his hand along her arm and smiled. "Me? In the library?" Oh now there was a humourous thought. Looking at her as she slipped her fingers in between his he smiled, "Even if I'm not it'll be fine." Though even he wished he would be in her house that would be just awesome.

He looked at her and smiled. Freddie.... "How old is he?" he asked with a smile. Hearing her question though he broke out into a fit of laughter, "Who told you he was a spy?" He couldn't see Miles as a spy the little brat was just too hyper active. "And no, I'm not a spy."

Luke grinned. "So, what house you hoping for?" He asked. He looked out the window, wondering if the train had started moving yet. He wondered where his cousin was. She said she'd be here. But where..?

The small ferret looked at the fox/cat. She sniffed the air and tilted her head. Riena looked up at the girl petting her. It felt nice. She closed her little eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Selena was skipping, yes, skipping, through the train. And who was she looking for? Lily-Rose, Emma or else Dianna. She already had a compartment in the middle but she should look for some of her closer friends, no? As she skipped through with a smile on her face, she couldn't help but think about how awesome this year was bound to be. She peeked through the compartments, ignoring the weird looks from others as she skipped by, almost missing the one Dianna was in.

Then Sel saw Dianna and grinned. "DIIAAAAAAANNNNNNNAA~" Selena called out happily as she waved hyperly at the girl before realizing she was saying that from behind the closed door and Dianna probably couldn't hear her. Bleh. Fail. She opened up the compartment door and waved at Dianna.

"Hiyaaa Dianna~" she chirped with a wide grin and a sugar-crazed look in her violet eyes. Then she noticed there were others in the compartment as well and waved at them. "Hulllooo, hullo, huuuloooo~" Selena greeted. "Mind if I join?" she asked, practically jumping up and down from the sugar she had consumed just moments before.

Lexi smiled to herself again and giggled a bit. It would totally be awesome if Ivan was sorted into gryffindor! "The library is one of my favorite places at the school. You will learn to love it" she said with a smile.

"[b]Freddie is 5 now I think...or 4. I can't remember." That was terrible of her and she knew it. Then her thoughts gave way to giggles at the talk of miles being a spy. "I know that he isn't really a spy... I joked with him about it once. Now tell me your secrets, Ivan." she leaned closer to him and booped his nose with her finger.

From behind the compartment door, Di didn't really care what was going on because for once she had found a compartment without people stepping on her foot. She noticed someone waving but didn't realize it was for her until the compartment door opened to reveal a SUPERSUPER hyper Selena asking if she could join them.

"Sure Selena." she said emphasizing the syllables in her name. She moved so that her friend can sit next to her. "Oh how rude of me. Elle and company, this is Selena, Selena meet Elle and company." she smiled. She still didn't know the name of the other girl. Anyways she was too chatty to ask.

Valerie looked around for somewhere to sit. She couldn't wait to see her new school. Val was going to miss her family. They were all very close but she was so excited! Her 11.6" cherry wood wand felt warm in her back pocket. She saw her cousin and grinned.

"Luke!" Oopps. He can't hear me. Hehe. She opened the door and smiled at her cousin. "Luke! How are you?"

Valerie saw two other girls in the compartment. One seemed familiar, mostly cause Luke never stopped talking about his girlfriend Katie Star. She rolled her eyes and faced the other girl. "Hi, I'm Valerie Black. Luke's cousin."

Petting Tansy, Aimée nodded up to the Tawny owl on her shoulder and sighed. She felt a little... well, a lot out of place here - everyone she'd seen had been with someone they knew, and she only knew a few people from Diagon Alley, non of which she had seen yet. She felt lonely, and she wanted to find an empty compartment where she could just ditch her trunk and sit and read. Or think. Or just feel less lonely.

Coming across what she thought was an empty compartment, she slid the door open and then stopped. "Oh, pardon me," she said shortly to the boy she vaguely recognised from Diagon Alley. The one who claimed she'd nearly killed him.

..IT HAD BEEN AN ACCIDENT. o_O

Ivan laughed and looked at the puff thing in its cage, "Well if I do learn to love it you can't tell a soul." He smirked and looked at Lexi again, "Bad for the reputation as a slacker if I'm seen in a library.

Wow a brother who was a lot younger than her. Interesting. "My secrets?" he chuckled as she touched his nose. "Let's see...I am an only child." Though that was probably obvious, or he might even have told her that before. He had a fear of commitment but that probably wouldn't be a good thing to tell her would it. "I'm not sure what to say.." he said with a laugh and squeezed her against him.

"I think i'd be happy in any of them." Heather said smiling.

Heather saw a girl walk into the compartment. She could only assume the girl was Luke's cousin. Heather stifled a giggle when Valerie rolled her eyes at the couple. "Hi I'm Heather Miller. No one's cousin."
