"Nika, you were very nice. Very very nice! Like you are now!" Nika had always been nice and happy and bubbly... at least, as long as Ariana had known her!
"I really hope so. Otherwise I'll have a pretty annoyed term."

"Yes, I am. I'm really excited" She was surprised when the cat jumped into her lap, but she petted her anyway. "And who might this beauty be?" Hex, feeling jealous decided to rub against Ariana's leg.

"Wow it sounds amazing! I can't wait!" But knowing that she had to anyways, she took a sketch pad out of her bag.

Jai turned away, his head still spinning about what the new school would be like. He was getting hungry so he decided to go find some food. He'd noticed some of the others walking around with food they'd bought from wherever. Jai decided he'd just walk until he found it.

Wow. This was definitely something she hadn't experienced in...years? Or...ever? Brigid was sort of speechless. She knew 2 people at Hogwarts 1 was an Oompa Loompa who had OBVIOUSLY gotten fired from her job because of her attitude, and the other she hadn't seen in ages...this was new...."Um...." She had used the word before but she had always used it sarcastically, "Thank you." Brig smiled back and placed her other things on the rack.

"So, like....I'm Brigid Byrnes." There was nothing left to do but introduce herself, right? Might as well make the best of the situation.

Once he heard someone tapping on the glass, Matt turned his head and smiled when he saw TJ standing in front of the compartment door; obviously he wasn't going to leave his girlfriend out in the hallway. He got up and opened the door, waiting for her to enter the compartment so they could talk about everything that had gone on through the summer outside what had happened with Raven who decided to ruin a moment between them. "Hey there, so tell me how's your jaw feeling?" Obviously he wanted to know because he still had felt bad about TJ being punched in the face by his cousin for apparently no reason than that she was being a complete immature child.

"You're welcome" Kat smiled at her. Hmmm this girl might have a bit of an attitude problem but she seemed like a nice person. So when they get to Hogwarts Kat's mission is to help her with her attitude. "Come sit sit. we have a long ride you know"

"Well Brigid, I'm Katlyn Way but everyone calls me Kat or Katy or Kitty. Whatever floats your boat." She shrugged. It really didn't matter what people called her by she really didn't mind. Just as long as it wasn't a weird nickname that she would hate because then there would be some trouble. "So are you new to Hogwarts?" She took out her stash of candy and started popping one right after the other into her mouth. Someone was going to have a sugar rush soon.

The girl did have a point. Brigid never understood why the ride to Hogwarts took so long though. 'I mean, if we're witches and wizards, isn't there an easier way to get there?' It all just seemed ridiculous and like a waste of time. Maybe it was just something she'd have to get used to in the next 2 years. She sat down across from this new acquaintance and wondered if this ride would be enjoyable.

Brigid always was fond of that name. Sure, she had never heard of that last name before, but it seemed to work. "Well, it's very nice to meet you, um...Kat." It was hard for her not to shake hands with her but she knew it was weird for 16 year olds to do that so she was able to stop herself. Brig got a little more comfortable in her seat now, realizing Kat wasn't about to her attack her or anything. She smirked a little and replied to her question. "Sort of. I mean, my first year at Hogwarts was last year and I pretty much just kept to myself. I started late in the year." Was it that obvious that she was so antisocial? Then again...it wasn't like Brigid was trying to socialize any as it was.

Care took a piece of the homemade chocolate and tasted it. It was great! Wish her mom knew how to bake. "Thanks a lot! This is so good!" Before she could answer Maggie's question, she saw the frog jump away. "Sorry, should've warned you about that. At least you got the card though, they're more fun than the frogs anyway. I've just started collecting myself." She gave her friend a smile.

"Oh, and if you don't mind me asking, are you muggle-born?"

"Sure why not." She said with a shrug as she grabbed her own guitar, then she set the sleeping cat down from her lap to the seat beside her and asked "Do you mind if I play? I have this new composition that I'm just dying to show off." Heartbreak makes a wonderful muse

Then she started strumming the oh-so familiar chords. She had played this song so much since she had composed it last week. Even her mother had grown tired of it now..but she had never played it for anyone else to hear yet.

She smiled up at both of them and said "This song is called 'Its Good' "

Connor smiled as he listened to the music and began tapping along with his drumsticks on the guitar case. He loved music of any kind. "Sing it sweetie."

Cass took a deep breath and started... "Looking forward, not looking back, I'm loosing time not keeping track, I'm trying to keep my heart intact, I'm trying to give what I get back, I'm just a girl with crazy dreams, I see the sun and everything , I hold on to what I believe like love and trust and you and me...."

"Okay." Viola said, wondering if Nessie's friends would be okay with this. Feeling slightly nervous, she started dragging her luggage into the compartment. She lifted her trunk & placed it on the luggage shelf above, before sitting down.

"Hi." she said, smiling at the new girl who stood next to Nessie.

"Yeah, I do. Nice to see you again." Viola said, glad to know that there was someone else she was familiar with. "Oh alright. Zara's a nice name." she continued, with a small smile on her face. "No, thanks." She really didn't feel like eating anything now.

Cody smiled at Elle. He was glad to see her. "It will be a long trip, as usual", he said.

He loved Berty Bott's Every Flavour Beans, there were so many flavours. "Alright, as long as I don't get earwax", he repiled laughing a bit.

Cody was wondering who the two boys were sitting near Elle. "Well it's nice to see your brother after all", he said.

"It's a pleasure to meet you", he told him. "No, I'm fine, thanks", he answered. Cody could handle his own trunk but he was only be kind.

"Thanks, I like your name too. It reminds me of a very beautiful musical instrument. Oh, okay." Zara said as Viola kindly refused her offer. Well, no one was gonna eat them, so she decided to bring them along to Hogwarts for a snack at night, if she doesn't feel like going to bed yet.

She rested her back and head on against the soft cushion of the seat of the train. Soon, she found herself almost sleepy. She whispered half-unconsciously, "I think...I'll get some sleep...first..." Then, before you knew it, Zara was completely asleep and her mind tuned out the voices of the students until it became a murmur, and until it became complete silence.

"Thanks!" Viola said, with a smile. Since, Zara decided to catch up on her sleep, Viola thought she'll listen to music for a while. She took out her ipod & plugging on her earphones, she was already lost in the world of music.

"Re-really?" Heather was awe-struck. Jeanne looked totally nice and she's back at Hogwarts from where? "Transferring back?...fr-from where?" she asked, scolding herself mentally for being so shy and stutter-y.

Heather looked shy but she still looked sweet with those amazing eyes and pale skin color. "You see i went to Beauxbaton 2 years ago and now i'm transferring back to Hogwarts." she smiled as she shared a little info about herself to the young girl. "Are you friends with Jonathan?" she looked at them both. Well, Jeanne didn't know how they have exactly met. Maybe when Jonathan went to buy something he bumped into this girl or since before Heather has been good friends with Jonathan...

Nessie came back from the trolley with more chocolate frogs,cauldron cakes,bubblegum and some Berty Botts Every Flavour beans. "Any one want?"asked Nessie as she sat down and put everything down. She took a chocolate frog to nible on then took out her Ipod again and started to listen to music.

["Uhm...I just met him today..." Heather answered, pink creeping up her cheeks. "He bumped into me outside." Because she was relatively small, he might have not seen her. "I-It wasn't his fault, i was in the way..." she said, waving her hands and smiling nervously. "Beauxbatons?...My b-best friend's cousins went there too. Ho-How is it different from Hogwarts?" hmm, maybe a change of subject would ease her up a little.

Daisy walked down the train, she was getting used to falling asleep in a compartment surrounded by her friends and waking up in a empty one. Earlier, that had been exactly what she had wanted, but Daisy thought it would be nice to have some company and meet some new people. She passed a compartment full of people and some of them looked like first years. After a few moments of thinking, Daisy pushed open the door a little aprehensivly.
'Excuse me, d'you mind if I sit with you?'
Daisy was usually alright meeting new people, but being on a train with a load of strangers, It was harder and she wanted to find some friendly people....

Oh so they met each other in the train. Jeanne looked at Jonathan and smiled "You should have watched where you're going." Jonathan always bumped into people, most of the time.

Beauxbatons, something Jeanne never liked talking about. So what makes it different that Hogwarts? A LOT!!! "For me, i never liked the girly side of it. It's too much prim and proper." Jeanne rolled her eyes in disgust. Not to mention the fact that she never learned French and had a hard time talking to people there. "is your best friend's cousin still going to school there?" she added. She didn't want to say any negative comments since everyone has there own opinion about which school they like.

Zara woke up soon, Nessie still hasn't come back. Looking at her finished cauldron cake, Zara decided that she wanted some chocolate frogs herself. 'Aw, come on. Why didn't I get one for myself while I was still there at the trolley?'

And, as if heaven had answered her wishes, Nessie came back with a lot of food, including the chocolate frogs Zara craved for right now. "Can I have some chocolate frogs?" Zara asked.

"Uhm...yeah...i guess...but my bestfriend n-never really liked her cousins from there." She said with a smile. Heather always found it amusing that Cass didn't like her french cousins. "S-she often told me, they were ...too much...sort of high maintenance." she paused. "...and demanding." she added.

Jonathan got scared when Jeanne looked at her. It's not his fault--- Heather says so. Yeah, for someone who acts tough, he's so not tough in front of Jeanne now is he? "I'm sorry?" he got confused. Jeanne had a smile but he doesn't know if that smile was a real one or a fake one. He held her hand and smiled again. Is Jeanne angry with him????

"Yeah sure" said Nessie smiling. Nessie started to wonder how long it would be untill they got there. She was getting more impatient by the minute. "How long do you think untill we are there?" Nessie asked Zara. Nessie still wondered why Danielle all of a sudden wanted to be called Zara but she thought it might be rude to ask. Nessie wished she could sleep a bit she had woken up very early that morning to get ready but it was no hope she was never the type to fall asleep while travelling. Its not that she didn't want to she just couldn't
