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!

"Well, this is it. I'm finally going to Hogwarts," she thought to herself.

Luisa quickly found a spot to sit down. It didn't much matter where she sat or who she sat with because she didn't know anyone yet. After putting her bag above her and letting out a sigh, Luisa reflected on the farewell she shared with her parents only moments ago. This was the first time she would be without her family. Her parents had never sent her away to camp or to spend time with a relative. And now the realization of being on her own was beginning to shock Luisa.

She tried to quickly put these distressing thoughts from her mind. Luisa took a look around the nearly empty compartment she had joined for the journey. There were two other girls with her.

"Hello there. Is this your first year well?"

Luisa smiled warily at her compartment companions, hoping this would not be a quiet train ride.

"Hi," Zhenya said, looking at the second person to join her! "Yes, I'm a first year. I hope it will be fun. Are you nervous?" she asked

Luisa noticed another girl in the compartment with them. My goodness, how could she have missed a whole other person?!

"Oh hello to you, too! I'm so sorry I didn't see right away. Oh an I'm Luisa, by the way."

"Yes, quite nervous. I don't know what to expect yet. And it's my first year too. My mum told me a little, but not enough," she said. "Have you two heard anything about Hogwarts?"

Zhenya laughed, she was finally relaxed.

"No, not really. I mean, my father and older brother both went there, but my mother never wanted them to tell me much about it. They really wanted me to have my own excitement and dreams about Hogwarts, not just have information and other people's experiences. Do you have any brothers or sisters?"

"That's a nice way to think about it. Maybe that's how I should look at it," she pondered aloud.

It didn't shake her nerves completely. But at least now she was talking with someone.

"I have one older brother. He was in Slytherin, but he's graduated. What house was your brother in?"

Glenn climbed somewhat awkwardly onto the train hauling her suitcase with her. Her brother Thomas looked around the crowded corridor quickly then bent down and gave Glenn a quick hug. "I hope I see ya in Hufflepuff," He said grinning and walking away to find his other fourth year friends.

Now, feeling quite alone Glenn found a near compartment and slid inside.
"Do you mind if I sit with you?" She asked, pulling back a strand of mousey blond hair from her eyes.

"He was in Slytherin, he left last year. My whole family in England were in Slytherin. Did he tell you much about it? I know my brother loved it, and wants to come back. He liked Herbology the best. What do you think you will like the best?" Zhenya said.

Zhenya looked up when another person entered their compartment. She was getting excited. She thought she would be alone the entire ride.

"No, he didn't tell me much about it that I can remember. He's much older than me, so he moved out a few years ago. He mostly talked about his friends. But I do remember what he told me about the houses! My mother told me she was in Ravenclaw and my grandmother was in Gryffindor. So I don't know where I'll end up.

I think Charms will be so much fun! I don't know if I'll be good at it. But my mom used to make my vegetables dance on the plate in order to get me to eat them!"

"Not at all! The more the merrier! As long as it doesn't get crazy. I saw a few overpacked compartments back there," she motioned to the back of the train. "We were just talking about our families. Was that your brother? Is most of your family also Hufflepuff?"

"Yes, you're right." Anna Said putting down the book. "My name is Anna Phoenix. But friends usually call me Ann." She smiled and brushed a strand of her straw-colored hair. "To be honest with the mission I have a problem. And you want to get in the team?"

"Yeah, that was my brother," Glenn said taking a seat , "He's in Hufflepuff, my sister's in Gryffindor and so was my dad."
She looked around at the other three girls in the compartment not knowing what else to say.

"Yeah, that's what my mum said too. I guess it doesn't really matter, but I do hope I get in Ravenclaw. My brother and I are pretty different too, so I can't imagine getting into the same house as him. You get sorted kind of by your personality, I guess."

The sudden change in the girl's mood raises Aiden's curiousity. It is her nature to ask when she knows something is wrong, but not sure what is it. Then, Aiden realises it is probably something happened to Maria's sister. "Did... something happened to her?"

A young and at first awestruck looking first year boarded the Hogwarts train; with wide curious blueish grey eyes taking in the bustling setting and a hand clutching an ebony trunk so tightly to the point of the hand turning a ghostly white. Rather short and small, the crowding of the train encompassed the child in every direction like a small fish in the middle of a stormy sea. Occasionally, a bustling older year would turn and give a small nod and grin as they passed by what looked like a rather cute 10 year old boy, with rather oddly long dark hair.

Only Eris wasn't a boy.

Used to being called "young man" or whatever mistaken name in the same reference, from her journey to Diagon Alley, the stout witch tried her best to go on ahead through the waves of tall students and their luggage till she found a compartment that seemed like the niche of safety in the storm.

Then, a ineludible flaw came to play as the young witch stared up almost in pre-known defeat at the rather high shelf where the trunks were meant to be stowed. The small 1 foot and a half height difference seeming to be a mile away from the tips of her fingers.

Unsure if she should just quit while she was ahead at the task, Eris lifted her trunk up like it only contained feathers, which was rather shocking in contrast to her body's small frame. With her neck craned and toes lifted to their max potential, she began to fail at sending it high enough to land safely on the shelf, looking quite pathetic in her vain efforts.

Ba humbug.

" Do you need some help?" William asked the girl. ' I am good at putting up trunks for the ladies' William told the girl. " My name is William Montcenaggio but my friends call me william Starr" he introcuced himself to the girl. "Are you a first year?" William asked her.

" I had an idea I was right' William told Ann." Nice to meet you Ann" William smiled. " So you really do not play Quidditch" William said to Ann. " I am going to try for the team this term again" William explained to Ann. "So what is your favorite thing about HogWarts?" William asked Ann.

Her expression flickered in response to that, the gasp, the mumbled apology and the blush and quite coolly she spoke.

"Except of course the conductor and the lady at the food trolley." She answered, clearly not impressed.

... but her expression did soften after a while.

"Are you alright?" The expression on the little boy's face, he almost looked in pain. She could almost forgive the rudeness if it were true.

Was that woman glaring at him? Why?! Because he had said they looked old?
Daichi rolled his eyes in his mind and wondered why it were always the woman who got offended whenever someone called them old. And judging by the tone in her voice she was offended. "I-i didn't mean to o-offend anyone..." he stuttered, something he wished he hadn't done. But he couldn't help it. His gaze was fixed on the floor as his fingers fumbled with his shirt.

He looked up when the woman asked if he was alright. "I'm fine" he said and unconciously rubbed his forehead while waving the other hand in the air, as though dismissing the question. " It's just a stupid headache i've been having since last night" he sighed deeply. He couldn't wait to be at school and in bed.

Daichi looked from the woman to the man in the compartment and figured that he would find.out who they were if he introduced himself first. " I'm Daichi by the way" he bowed , something he had learned in his family. "Daichi Katharos and i'm a second year Slytherin"He had said the last part with pride in his voice that his eyes started to twinkle and he smiled broadly this time....before he groaned again.

"I'm pure-blood. My mum lived in Russia which is where she did her education at the school over there. But my mum works as a teacher with muggle children so we don't use a whole lot of magic at home, just in case," Zhenya explained.

"My mum stays at home too. Except my parents are the other way around. My mum is a witch and my dad's a muggle."

Luisa rummuged through her bag to find her money. Past the books and jumper, she found a small drawstring bag that had her pocket money from her parents in it.

"I'm going to be back, getting something off the food trolley. Do you care for anything?"

Once her eyes focused she saw a new girl that she had never seen before asking if she could join Selina in the compartment. Nodding her head slightly she replied, "Sure, come on in." She gestured to the seat opposite of herself and said, "Sorry, I've never seen you before. I'm Selina Skylar."

Dia was more then relieved when Selina nodded. Selina - nice name. She thought as she slipped in and closed the compartment door behind her, quickly stowing her trunk.

"Thank you, its nice to meet you Selina - I'm India Johanson" she smiled. Flushing somewhat as her accent sounded oh-so-strong to her. Please don't become outcast aussie here. She thought and took a seat across from Selina. "Wh-what house are you in - if you don't mind me asking that is" the last bit made her sound as awkward as she felt. New school and all.

"Hi!" She exclaimed, relieved that she had found one friend. Smiling now, she gestured towards a compartment. "Want to sit? You haven't seen Brady, have you? I've been searching for you two forever!"

Indiana was so glad that she had found her friend. Now she wouldn't have to sit the whole journey on her own. She had been pretty scared about that really. Spike wouldn't want to sit with her, he'd told her, but now that she'd found Kourt, she would be fine. "Oooh sure!" Indiana nodded with a big smile. They didn't need to stand for the whole journey, that wqas just silly really. Very silly. And knowing Indy she would probably have fallen over if they just stood up for the whole journey.

"I haven't." Indy said with a sad smile. She hoped that Brady hadn't gotten lost. That would've been really bad. "At least we're together now...she might find us easier if we are together." Good idea. Indy had good ideas. Hehe.

She looked up and caught him glancing at his watch. Her face fell. He didn't really want to sit with her. He was just trying to be nice to a little kid. She hated when older kids did that.

Harlow didn't really think he was pleased to meet her, but she wasn't a rude person. "Nice to meet you." she said in a quiet voice and she licked on her lollipop. He was firing the questions at her just trying to be polite enough so she wouldn't cry and he could feel free to run away. Well she wasn't that big of a baby, she wasn't going to cry, but she didn't want to be friends with someone who didn't want to be her friend. "You don't have to sit with me you know. I only asked to be nice and make a new friend." she finally told him. "You must have other pressing appointments, so please don't let me keep you." She was too much of a lady to rude about the unpleasantness of her current situation.

It was the second time this girl was saying it was nice to meet him. Normally, Marcelo would have pointed that out, but since she was a little girl and such... and it was her who invited him in, so he was going to be nice. To some degree, at least.

He blinked at her words for a moment. So she had understood at last. Well... yeah, he was going to comfort her. Having a little, eh, how these people called it, friend was nice. Maybe she was a daughter of an important person or something... one could never know.

"No, I want to sit with you." He rarely apologised, and that was to his superiors, so skipping over I'm sorry if I acted rude part. "I'm actually new here, so I don't really know many people." He smiled convincingly.

"Are you new or a returning student?" Now that they had sorted it out and it was set he would hang out here for a little while, might as well get comfortable and take it... friendly.

Awwww London wasnt the same without her?Here he was going all cute mode again."Of course it isnt the same without me",the Slytherin chuckled,"the awesomeness and my genius mind were missing"Yep,she could be obnoxious too.Wrinkling her forehead for a second as he took place on the opposite seat and not next to her the blonde raised an eyebrow."Afraid you'll burn yourself if you come to close,huh?",the girl stuck her tongue aout at her friend.Really,it was definitely soo much fun to just joke around with him.

Waaiiiit ,he attended a full german muggle school?Why hadnt he told her about that before?Tsssssk."Thats pretty cool",the fouth year wiggled her eyebrows,"you should have told me,duuuh."He got bored?How could you get bored in only two weeks at Diagon Alley and with the carnival?Something definitely had to be wrong with him."Didnt you go to the carnvial?",the blonde asked,"didnt you meet new friends?Come on dont kid me."That was almost impossible.

Marcelo chuckled at her ego. Yeah, she had a hidden one there and she was apparently just letting it out with him. He liked it. One should know what they were, after all, even though people might call it arrogancy. As long as both people knew they were awesome and not afraid to tell it, it was fine.

"True, miss," he said, grinning. "Yes, m'lady. It is a pain to even look at you, but also so sweet..." There, that should do it to her ego. Hehe.

He shrugged casually. "It was only for one single year, then I got my letter. I didn't learn much." He didn't forget what he had learnt though. No, he was wise enough to study the lessons he had taken in the Muggle world.

Right, the carnival. For some reason, the people seemed to have enjoyed it. Odd...

"I did go, yes." With Louisa and, what was his name again?, Eino. But, figuring she wouldn't want to hear about Louisa, like if he would ever tell her, he said "And of course I met people. But no one invited me for a London tour, for example." He winked. Louisa did, or rather, he had written Louisa, but little details were unnecessary now.

Yeah.

Zhenya returned from the trolley.

"So, where abouts do you live?" she asked. She knew a lot of witches and wizards, but not many her age. They were either babies or her brother's age.
