" " I think there is a compartment in the back with Freya and Cass" Rex told Fee." I just move around and talk to everyone" Rex said to Fee. " My compartment is with Cass and Freya right now" Rex laughed." Wow, this missing you stuff is getting harder each time I tell aomeone the same thing" Rex explained to Fee. " Yeah, still my "Glitter Girl" Rex smiled.

" Thanks and it really is good to see yo uagain" Rex told Emily. "Well, thanks for being so sweet to me" Rex said to Emily. " My dance studio will be successful, I think I am the lucky person to have found Rene and I bet you are going to do great in becoming an Auror" Rex explained to Emily.

Her whole family. Yes. That was a little daunting to him. Especially considering that his last girlfriend's parents hadn't really lliked him. So now he was feeling a little scared. What if they didn't like him? Although he was pretty sure that they would love him. He was pretty epic, but he was kind of hoping that they'd like him. It would kind of suck if they didn't.

He was thinking about her grandparents. "You're grandparents are Malfoy's right?" That in itself was kind of daunting too. But Marie was nice, so he thought that the rest of her family would be nice too. Or at least he hoped so anyway. Because if not it might have been a bit of a awkward party, but he was going to try and get along with them. "How your is your grandfather gonna be?" He asked with a smile.

"Oh la la," Hugo smiled. "Français," he said. That was cute. And HOT. He took a seat and stared through the window. He looked back at the beautiful girl who was with him in the compartment. "This summer is going to be awesome!" Hugo imagined the romantic sunsets at the New York skyline. In Central Park. He had sooo much planned out already. He played with her hands a bit. "I'm pretty excited for the summer, but home is good too," he nodded. It was always nice to relax at home and just do nothing. He wondered if they would almost be there.

Marie didn't miss the look of concern on Finn's face when she said her whole family would be there. Then when he asked about her family name she had a feeling he might be feeling a little nervous about meeting them. "Yes, they're Malfoy's. My great grandfather is Draco. But the birthday we're celebrating is my grandpa Scorpius. He's gonna be sixty-eight." She was a little confused about why they were having such a huge party this year instead of when he turned seventy. Her mum told her though that it was because he would be expecting one then, not this year, so now they would be able to surprise him.

Leaning over she kissed him on the cheek. "Don't worry babe. Everyone will love you. Including my grandparents." As long as they seen that he made her happy then they would be happy too. Especially her parents who only wanted the best for their only child.

Septimus wandered aimlessly in the front of the train. Here he went, back to the orphanage where hew was forced to stay summer after summer. But when he came back on that delightful first day of September, he would be a SECOND YEAR. Who knew what kind of things he might learn? Still, he should have asked the headmaster if he could stay at the castle for the summer.

"Yes, I know..." Annie responded, trying to figure out if she really rememebered how to land on the field without getting hurt. Nope, not a chance she could do that. "I mean, I become way too nervous to even think about landing. I..." Yeah, Annie was having those kind of brief nerve attacks that portrayed how weird you could turn.

Ellie sounded like Annie, although the girl thought football-wise. All she could do was smile and nod. It was right to try to be modest, because after all, maybe they were to dedicate some time of their life into a sport. "When was the first time you rode a broom?" Nice one Annie, that could hit the target for Ellie to talk about Quidditch.

"Yeah I hope that you like them too" she smiled happily over to Emily, "Oh thank you" Kyle smiling running a hand through her hair. Chuckling she nodded.

"I will definitely send you a custom broom" Kyle smiled, she chuckled smiling nodding slightly as she did. "Yeah, I will definitely take care of the little Ravenclaws" Kyle chuckled smiling happily.

"Yeah it's weird how fast my mood changed. I thought about what you said and the Rex and Halle said that we will keep in touch forever!" Nika smiled widely. "And I had some pudding and that really helped!" She twirled a strand of her hair around her fingers.

Nika nodded her head wildly, "Yeah I'm Nika." She was impressed that the girl had remembered her name. "Yeah, I guess I am. I'm just not looking forward to leaving Hogwarts." She almost frowned, but quickly covered it with a smile. "What about you?" Nika could tell that the girl was much, much older than her but how old she didn't know.
Nika looked at her seventh year friend with her eyes wide open. "I promise," she smiled rather mischievously. "I'm super-extra-glad that we got to see each other! How awful would it be if I didn't get to see you!?!"
"Oh I can't wait to meet her! You talk so highly of her." Nika raised an eyebrow and her face mirrored the confusion she was feeling. "No magic?" Even though she probably wouldn't have used it anyways she was still in shock. "Bu-Bu-But don't wizards always use magic?"

"Wow." Nika was amazed by all of that planning. She could never organize something like that. "That's a lot of going around."

Nika noticed some one else walking around and she couldn't help but smile at the boy. She remembered the kid from the great hall and waved excitedly. "HI Septimus!!" The name. Hehe. Pretty awesome name. "How are you?" She then remembered that he was thrown off by her cheerfulness last time so she tried to stop bouncing up and down.

Giggle.

No offense to Annie or anything but...heh. She was funny. "You could try with cushioning charms?" This was Ellie trying to persuade Annie that flying was totally worth it. That nothing should stand in the way of being on a broom.

Hmmm... Ellie bit her lip and let her gaze drift out the window. The first time? "Uhm...I don't really know..." There were pictures. She was young. Real young. "Probably by the time I could walk?" Before then? After all, did you really have to be able to walk before you could fly?

Maybe. Maybe not.

That was another good question for her dad. If she remembered by the time they got to London.

Elyon hopped into position. "I'm ready!" As she and Rex twirled around the train's thin corridor, she couldn't remember the last time she'd felt so.... flowy! She always felt flowy when she danced, but she always felt much flowier when she had a real person to dance with, rather than herself!

"Rex? What will your studio be called? I'd love to know the name so I'd be able to visit one day when I'm all grown up!" That'd be very nice!

"Oh Sely..... you'd do that.... for me?" She could just imagine her and her big brother, living happily together in a place where they could be themselves and not worry about being punched in the stomach, or trying to cover up a black eye, or not having to worry about not being able to have enough food. "It's okay that it's small, my house in Sea Town is small too! So I'd be used to it! Christopher and I already share a room, so it's simply perfect!"

"Selina..... If my mum really agrees to this...... I just want to say thank you. You're my best friend."

"Hello Septimus!" Elyon called in her dream voice that she always had. She noticed him wandering around all by himself in a compartment, and thought of how she always had to sit by herself too! Maybe she could join him and then they would sit by themselves together, despite the contradiction of it all!

She plopped down on a seat close to the window right across from her fellow Gryffindor. "Are you excited to go back and see your parents in Italy over the summer? You described it to be quite lovely!" Elyon could just see the whole family enjoying the summer together in their pretty manor. "I wish I had a family!" She did have blood relatives, but her dad was about to die and her mum wished Elyon and her brother were dead. She was actually going to send them off to an orphanage, unless she would let them go live in Selina's broomshed......

"Are there Crumple-Horned Snorcacks in Italy? I'm sure there are some in Sweden, but that'd be so lovely if you saw some! Oh, you'd have to write to me immediately!" She wished Muggles would be more open to magical creatures. Then maybe a Crumple-Horned Snorcack would come to her Muggle village instead!

"Pudding always helps!" Elyon giggled. Chocolate truly could help a girl out when she needed a boost. "Are you excited for our second year? Oh, it'll just be so fun! I wish summer were already over, I can't wait to come back! Hogwarts is my home!" Going back to the Muggle village made Elyon miss Hogwarts already, and they weren't even off the train yet!

Hm? He didn't think he'd played well? "No, you were really good," Vashti insisted with a nod. "You're a great Keeper." Certainly one of the best she'd ever seen. 'Course, she hadn't seen a whole lot - the Quidditch games she actually got to watch were mostly limited to Hogwarts - but still. Treyen was good. "That's good though." That no one got hurt. Especially considering what had happened to some of the players, namely the Seekers, in a couple games this year.

Oh good, he did have fun. She smiled. Celebrate the Huffies' second place? "That's a good way to look at it."

Hm. Was her year great? She wasn't entirely sure. The end of it had been, but the beginning? Yeah, not so much. "It was good, I guess, yeah," she replied.

Halle giggled at Nika's amusement. "Yeah it is a lot of planning." Halle nodded. Thinking about it made her dizzy. "Yeah my brother likes planning.....a lot of planning." It scared her how much planning he did. "Anyway, so am I gonna be able to meet your family as well as Emily's?" Halle asked.

"That and ice cream!" She added with a giggle. "BEYOND excited! I don't want to leave either! I feel like I belong here, you know?" Nika couldn't imagine leaving the train and her friends. She doesn't have anyone at home besides her sister who is starting to avoid her now. "I know I would miss my family, but I wish we had an option to stay at Hogwarts over the holiday like we did for Christmas." She just couldn't let go of the idea. "Elyon? Are there nargles where muggles live too?" The question had been bothering her ever since Elyon had told her about nargles.

"Yeah! My parents wanted to meet you." Sending a twelve year-old girl off to another country with someone that they haven't even met yet was very dangerous. Nika's strict parents were about to tell her she couldn't even go, but Nika has her ways of convincing people to do things. "I was telling Emily that my sister might come too and maybe you can meet her as well!" But Nika highly doubted that her sister would even show up.

"Oh ok, cool. I'd love to meet them." Halle said. Shin wanted to meet both Nika and Emily too and their parents. "Really? I hope she's there. My sister likes to come because she likes watching people appear out of nowhere through the barrier." Halle giggled. Everytime she came through it her sister would go, 'Halle, Halle! You came out of nowhere!' in a low soft whisper once she reached her.

"Oh I wanna meet your sister!" Nika bounced up and down in her seat. If she was anything like Halle then Nika would love her. "Uhhmm how old is your sister again? I forgot." she slapped her hand to her forehead. "OW." A little too hard. "If only I had a better memory. Then my forehead would never hurt again." Nika said while giggling.

"Yeah the barrier thing was so cool! I was worried that I was going hit it and just fall with my things flying everywhere. Luckily I saw another family going and they helped me. And I went right through it and everything! Magic is so awesome!" She couldn't help, but laugh at her own pathetic ways when it came to all things wizard. "Maybe next year I will be able to help some confused muggleborns so that they don't end up like me."

" You promise yeah I beleive you" Rex laughed." It would have been terrible not to have seen each other" Rex said to Nika. "Any boys you like?" Rex asked Nika,

" I bet you think this sounds silly, but I do not have a name for my dance studio' Rex explained to Elyon. "Any ideas? Rex asked Elyon." You are grown up, trust me" Rex told Elyon. " You did a great job Waltzing with me" Rex said to Elyon.

"Thanks Rex, nice to know someone believes in me", she said smiling. Taking some of her hair and twirling it around her fingers.


Wow, finally someone she could understand! someone she could actually relate to!
"Mmm I don't want to leave either... but I don't really have a choice. Thing is at least you get to go back after the break... I don't"... nope she certainly didn't. Emily smiled as best as she could, but the realisation that her Hogwarts journey was coming to an end was finally hitting home- again. Hopefully she'd be able to hold back the tears until she was home. Hhhmm home. She would have to find one, Hogwarts had been her home for the last seven years.

Cass ran to the front of the train. He wouldn't follow her here now, would she? She didn't want to talk to him. She was mad, she was mad at Levi, she was mad at the world, but mostly she was mad at herself. She wasn't playing with his feelings...she really wasn't. She thought he would understand, that he knew her well enough to know that she liked him, but of he's going to act that way then they're not going to last long.

Maybe this was meant to happen, maybe they weren't meant to be together...

She walked down the aisle, looking for an empty compartment, surely there would be at least one by now...just as she thought that, a group of first years left a compartment and Cass wasted no time in entering it. Then she slid the door closed, not bothering to lock it, and headed for the corner, curling up into a ball, holding back the tears that were threatening to break out from her eyes.

Selina shook her head yes, "Elyie of course you can come. Look don't even ask your Mom. She will just make you miserable and keep you from your friends. It's your life make it a good one."

FREEDOM!!!! That's all Elektra could think of. Finally, she was going back home and getting away from Hogwarts, or as she liked to call it...witch's nightmare. She was finally free! Free from classes and teaches, especially Vindictus. Yeah, she didn't like him one bit. Everytime she thought of the name she had chills run through her. Did she also mention she was happy that she wasn't wearing that bathrobe and annoying school clothes? Yeah, her first year was something she won't forget. Wearing her out of school clothes, she felt like she could breathe again. Yeah, of course she had a few laughs here and there, met some new and exciting people, but she also had her share of drama in the castle, but then again a life with no drama is just not normal. As Elektra sat back she looked out of the window of the train not seeing Hogwarts anymore and she let out a sigh of relief. "What a year..." she said softly to herself. She really did miss her home. She missed her family, she missed her...well...friends, but you get the idea. She missed a lot of people. As Elektra looked outsie just watching everything just fly right pass her from the speed the train was starting to make her a little tired. She could use a good nap.

Selina was looking for a place to put Hermes. The small owl was getting anxious and all of his rattling was annoying people in her old compartment. She moved to enter an empty compartment, but when she turned on the lights she saw Elektra Draven sleeping. She was so glad her friend was okay. That vision had left her shaken up no doubt, but things were thankfully back to normal.

Creeping up beside her friend she put Hermes down. Next to the sleeping Elektra Selina yelled, "WAKE UP!"

" I lways believed in you" Rex told Emily. "Do you believe you will make a good Auror?" Rex asked Emily. " I am surprised that twirl did not get you any boys" Rex said to Emily.

" Are you ok?" Rex asked Cass. " are you crying?" Rex asked Cass. " Tell me what happened" Rex told Cass. " I am a good sounding board" Rex said to Cass.

Jacob stared at the Trees as they sped past. The most interesting part of the journey was always the nice trees, full, and beautiful... It was as if they had cgone in a complete cycle. Now the trees were full and filling, when they were going to opposite way, the trees were full and falling.

He looked towards the door as someone opened it.

Oh Look Spike. "Hey, sur-?" before he could even say yes the boy sat down. "Okay then" he said with a shrug. And watch the boy pour out his 'dinos'

"Where'd you get those?" Jacob asked the boy... more out of not wanting to make the kid feel like Jacob was ignoring him, than out of curiosity.

"Ice cream is wonderful!" Elyon was tiny, but she loved ice cream so much! Maybe because it reminded of her of going to the city with her father ever summer. That was always so fun! Though this summer would be different...... Shaking the thought out of her head, Elyon nodded in agreement with Nika. "Me too! I'd miss my daddy very very much, but I could be free from Mummy!" No bruises were ever inflicted upon her at school..... except for when she tripped on the occasion! Normally she was very graceful and elegant, though. She always had been, even when she skipped!

"Of course! But I don't think they go in those areas as often! I always have pesky nargles taking things here at school, but at home, they never seem to take as much!" That would be nice over the summer to get away from those thieves! "I think they stay more in Wizarding communities, you know?" Elyon pondered thoughtfully if pureblood or halfblooded wizards ever had nargle troubles at home.

"That's not silly at all! You have plenty of time to think!" When Rex consulted Elyon from name ideas, she was both honoured and bewildered. "Really? I can help you think of a name!?" She jumped up and down with excitement, still managing to keep her Waltz in check though. "Hmmm, how about.... Rex's Magical Footwork?" Maybe he wouldn't like it, be she thought it was cute!

"I'm not a grown up! I'm just a little girl! I'm only eleven! But I will be twelve this July!" She said excitedly. She was very excited to turn twelve! "Oh can we keep dancing? The Waltz is one of my favourites!"

Elyon was still in shock that some one would let her live with them and let her be happy all at once! It was a dream come true! Besides seeing the Northern Lights of course.... She'd always dreamed of those. "But Selina, I have to ask her! She made us promise her to get her permission before we go somewhere, so people wouldn't see how freaky we are! And I never ever break a promise! Ever!"

Breaking promises felt like lying. And Elyon didn't see why people would lie. It just wasn't right.

When a new girl in black clothes walked into their compartment and sat down opposite of her and next to Selina, Elyon beamed with excitement. She just loved making friends! Probably only because she had four..... five if you conted her brother. "Hi! I'm Elyon!" She said brightly, thrusting out a hand to shake with this new girl. She blinked a lot less than a normal person, so this probably freaked this girl out. But Elyon wouldn't noticed. She was too busy thinking about Wrackspurts. She whipped out a pair of Spectespecs and began to play with her long, sandy hair, still staring curiously at the stranger.

Selina understood why Elyie had to tell her mother, but it still didn't make it right. Elyie and Chris would forever be separated if their mother had her way. They had to live with her or run the chance of being away from one another.

"Okay, but make sure that you really talk to her. Please try. You two can't lose each other. And I can't lose you either."
