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!

*gulp* They were going home. Rose was going to meet Rupert. 'Kay, she was freaking. Majorly. She just wanted her best friend to come and look after her, make her feel alright again.

Alyssa quickly dragged her trunk, bags and Shannia's cage onto the train and then went looking for Minerva and the gang. As she checked each compartment she kept a look out for Aaron, Kita and Nessie.

For anyone!
 

Daichi had mixed feelings about going home. He felt sad to leave Hogwarts but at the same time he was happy. The second year couldn't wait to get home and see his father and brother. But most importantly, he couldn't wait to see his plushed duck Mr.Duckles and hug it~ Yes , he was twelve...thirteen actually but who cares.

Dragging his luggage behind him, Daichi looked around for somewhere to sit. He passed the compartments that were already full and finally found one. Seeing a older boy sitting , Daichi knocked the door and then opened it. "Uhm... Hi~ ..is it okay if i sit here?" he asked with his somewhat high pitched voice from being sick during the feast and pointed at the seat in front of him.

Paulie rested his head against the back of the seat and stared at the ceiling for a little. Thinking, of course, about a lot of things. Tori mostly, and what that Jasper guy said, and blind dates, and quidditch, and.. whoever was in the compartment doorway?

Wow, his voice was squeaky, and it made him wonder how old the kid was. "Yeah, 'course. Take a seat." He offered a smile and gestured to the spot across from him. "I'm Paulie. Paulie Foster."

Salima slumped herself in the seat. Feeling the same way she had done when she was first on the train comming to Hogwarts. She couldn't beleve how fast the year had gone. All she had learnt. All the people she had met. But she needent worry she still had alot of years at Hogwarts to go... So there was more to come.

Anyone is welcome. ^_^
 

Hearing the answer, Daichi came in to the compartment and placed his luggage in front of his seat. "Thanks" he smiled and sat down. The Slytherin giggled when the boy introduced himself and bowed his head. "I'm Daichi Katharos, nice to meet you~".

He looked out of the window at the landscape rushing by. He was going to miss his friends during the summer. Luckily he knew no graduate this year or else he would have been a crying mess like last year. A grumbling sound startled him and he rubbed his stomach to tell it to shut it. It didn't though and Daichi sighed. "Sorry" he apologized "I haven't eaten much during the feast..."

Daichi reached down and picking up the white box that he had carried under his other arm. Opening it up, the smell of chocolate filled the compartment and his eyes twinkled while looking at it. Picking a piece, the second year took a bite and let out a sigh. Then he remembered he was with someone and he stopped chewing. Mouth still full he picked up another piece and held it out for Paulie to take. " want a piece? Kurumi made it for my birthday" if he wasn't going to take it in three seconds, Daichi was going to eat it himself.

Ronnie walked down, poking her head in each compartment. Where was Rose?! She was about to give up when she saw her, she sighed with relief. She slid open the door to the compartment and grinned. "'Ello!" she said smiling and sitting next to her bestest friend EVER, pulling her into a large hug.

"Dai-chi.. Katharos..." Paulie repeated, saying the boy's name slowly as not to mess it up. "Cool name." A lot of people at Hogwarts had cool names, Paulie had come to find out. Paulie had the coolest, naturally, but that went without saying.

He looked out the window for a few moments until a few tummy rumbles echoed into his ears. Wasn't his stomach, so it must have been Daichi's. "Why didn't you stuff your face during the feast? There was loads." Plus, the big feasts always had the best foods. Thank you, house elves.

He watched as the boy pulled out the white box from beneath his arm and opened it. Aaand, the smell alone gave it away. Mmmmmm. Chocolate. And, to make matters worse, Daichi was quite a pro at making the chocolate look extra scrumptious. "Oh! Thanks, mate," he said, taking the piece and tossing the thing in his mouth, whole. His mouth was still partly full when he spoke again. "Kurumi?" He chewed a bit more, then swallowed it. "She's my house prefect. Makes good chocolate, too.."

Man, how did one even MAKE chocolate?

This was Josh's last ride with the Hogwarts Express so he wanted to enjoy every single minute of it. So instead of being stuck in a compartment, he decided to wander a bit within the corridors. Not to mention that was a very good way to raise the possibilites of finding his friends instead of just sitting and waiting.

But just like the middle train had been this place seemed to be occupied by the younger students or...well...since he had newly graduated, technicallt everyone was younger than him in the train. Except the food trolley lady of course. He seriously did not want to be older than her.

Just when the horrifying image of him being older than her hit him, the lion boy's eyes landed on someone, a certain snake, and moreover he was had AN APPLE!!! Immediately forgetting the being old image, Josh quickly sneaked behind the boy.

''BAM!''

So far so good, João had eaaasily placed his luggage up in the bag places and he had avoided the brats, although there were a few of them even in the train. Well, as long as they kept silent, they were fine. As he got out of the compartment for a moment, imagining perhaps the sound of Louisa, something exploded right behind him and he jumped as far as his legs would push, dropping the apple down as he swore heavily in Portuguese.

"What. Are. You. DOING?!" he said in a low, but very strained voice as he turned to face the older idiot. He knew better than to let his hand travel inside his pocket to grab his wand, but really... just let the boy give him the chance. He'd be overjoyed to hex him good before he slipped away into real life where he'd be eaten alive with that attitude.

When the had ACTUALLY jumped up, Josh could not help it and let out an epic laugher. BWAHAHAAHHAHAHAHA!!! Those snake dudes were too jumpy, were not they? They were always fun to keep as a company, therefore Josh had always enjoyed the-boy-with-a-thousand-names' companionship. Once he managed to subdue his own laugher, he flashed a smirk at the Slytherin boy and gave him a pat on the shoulder.

''Not to worry, dude. Not to worry.'' he gave him another pat on the shoulder. ''No dragon is roaming in the corridor to eat you. That was just a joke. One with an old style.'' Smirking again, he bent down and picked up the apple. Eh...he knew how this boy liked to get to use his wand over ALMOST everything yet the lion boy did not bother to check if his hands traveled to the wand anyway. ''So...i believe this is yours'' he said theni holding the red apple up. Red apples. Those were his favourite.

for anyone :3
 

OOOH! Sel wants to join. XD
 

Selena? Yeah, she was so ready to go home. Well, not go home, just leave school in general. The OWL's had been a huuuuge pain and they were over and she probably failed a few or whatever, but there was nothing her parents could do about that so they were going to have to deal. Kent was probably excited too! Though Sel couldn't really tell, he was just... sitting there... doing... whatever pygmy puffs did. Selena was pretty sure he was thinking about the mysteries of the universe or something super deep though.

The tiny Slytherin, hauled her trunk behind her as she skipped around to find a compartment so she could sit and... do nothing. :mellow: Or well, do something since she did have to breathe and stuff but other than that... probably n- wait. She would have to eat candy so that was something. Eh, Selena supposed she just needed to find a compartment to eat in then. Okay, easy cheesy, shouldn't take long.

Spotting someone alone with a pretty owl Selena's eyes widened slightly. "Heeeeeey!" Selena chirped. Did owls eat pygmy puffs? Selena was pretty sure they didn't. "Can I join?" she asked. Because... sitting alone and getting hyper alone? Yeah, that wasn't much fun anyways. So maybe the girl who looked a bit mopey would wanna get hyper off of candy and chocolate and sweets too.

For HarryPotterQuidditch! :)
 

Ronnie made her way to the front of the train, and found an empty compartment. She sat down and smiled out at the scenery. It was beautiful out, she was ready for summer. She was excited to hang out with her friends and for of course Rupert's wedding!

yaaaay :D
 

Almost as soon as Vashti wished for a distraction, one presented itself. Well, herself. Because the girl standing at the compartment doorway was definitely not an "it". Out of the corner of her eye, she saw her owl, Cally, turn her head to eye the girl who'd suddenly ruined the silence of the compartment, but Vashti ignored her slightly moody owl.

"Sure, come on in," she said with a smile and a nod. It was then that she noticed a small ball of fluff with the girl. Was that... "Is that a pygmy puff?" she asked. If it was... AWWWW. Such cuteness! Vashti wanted one of them. She had almost gotten one for the Hate Potion towards the beginning of term but had decided against it. She sort of regretted it now too at times, but then again, she wasn't sure how her owl would react to having to share attention with a pygmy puff, so it was probably for the best.

Selena beamed and plopped down on the empty seat, not really paying attention to the owl. Kent was perched perfectly still on her head, but when she had sat, he had rolled off and fallen onto the seat next to her. She paid it no attention, instead, she levitated the trunk to the spot above them. Selena then stuck the wand in her pocket and placed her bag on her lap. The bag was bulging with sweets of all kinds - she would need it to stay awake.

"That's Kent," Selena said, nodding her head as the girl asked if the pygmy puff was a pygmy puff. "He's the king of all pygmy puffs," she added. Just so the girl knew and didn't get the violet colored pygmy puff mixed up with any other pygmy puff. There could only be one king of all pygmy puffs after all.

"What's the owl's name?" Selena asked, tilting her head to look at it as she reached into her bag and pulled out a sugar quill. Merlin's beard, why had she purchased so many? She couldn't remember!

Talk about tired. She was. Beezus really was tired. She became exhausted with the farewells and goodbyes that took place on the Great Hall last night. Not to mention that she was still feeling sick. And that was the reason why she hadn't been with her friends on the train. Instead, she chose a compartment at the Front of the Train where she could take a nap and sleep peacefully. That would be heaven for her right now.

Yet her slumber was disturbed by the other students bickering outside the compartment, arguing on what to get from the Food Trolley. "And it's making me hungry." She mumbled upon herself, hearing the voice of the Trolley lady coming closer.

Erin moved her way towards the front train, she was actually running for the Food Trolley lady. Her trunk was at the back where Raven's was.

The trolley stopped from her shouts ad she bought chocolate frogs. She'll be missing these kind of weird foods. Hehe. "Thanks," said Erin. She then walked up towards the back of the train. She passed in an empty compartment and was surprised to see her very best friend, Beezus! ZOMG! It felt like, she hadn't talk to her in ages.

She pushed open the door and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Beezus!!!" she hugged her so tight.

For.....Devina Wellheart!
 

Ronnie sat down in her compartment, twirling her orange hair around her finger (she tended to do this when she was bored) and looking out as the scenery zoomed by as the train rolled along. Gah, she was so BORED!

Beatrice was about to stand up and buy something from the Food Trolley when somebody barged in on her compartment and chained her with a tight hug. "Oh..." The Ravenclaw moaned. She knew who it was, she clearly did. It was no other than her best friend. "Cornelia! You're killing me!" She joked as she returned the tight hug.

After a few moments, she pulled her friend away. "Where in Merlin's underpants have you been, huh?" Because she badly missed this girl and it seemed like it has been decades since they last talked. "Haven't even seen you at the Herbology Final." Or maybe she did, but didn't noticed because of being too nervous.

Justin went looking for Ronnie to thank her for the gift and lettershe had sent. Finally he found her in a compartment by herself. She looked so pretty sitting there twirling her lovely ginger hair staring out the window. he quietly opened it's door and plopped down right next to her.
" hey, ronnie. I just wanted to say thank you....Ya know for the the gift. I-I was thinking alot about you lately. Perhaps more than I should...." Justin trailed off as he rung his hands.

Still hugging her friend, Erin said, "Where were you all this time?" she asked with the unresponsive Beezus. All she could say was 'Oh...' Was that the right way to welcome a bestfriend.

O.o CORNELIA? Who was that person? She moved her free hand to Beezus' forehead and felt if she was sick? "You're actually fine," she smiled at her friend. So, they're on second name basis now? "Evangeline? Is that you?"

"I was there. Uhm... I saw you. But enough of that. We're going home now. How's you? With your Aunt?"

"I was here." She told her best friend. "I was still feeling a bit juggled off so I isolated myself and got a compartment for my own." How she managed to get that compartment only for her, she did not know. Maybe there were new compartments? Because she was sure that when term started all compartments were crowded.

She stared as Erin felt her forehead. She was not that sick anymore, just only a bit. "Yep, I am." Hmm.. Second name basis? Not so bad right? And they would be the only ones calling each other that. "I guess so. Evangeline and Cornelia ain't that bad."

They were going home now, that was true. That means they won't see each other over the summer. "Oh, I know." Beezus sat back down. "And do sit Cornelia." She muttered as she gestured her friend to sit beside her. "I actually miss my Aunt, my Grandma and even Dylan." And also her mother. "She promised she'll buy me a new broom." Her Aunt Belinda said that, alright. On her last letter. And she could not wait for that to happen. Especially because she'll be allowed to play full time next term.

"Oh, you're truly sick?" Erin was surprised to hear that. She was only joking the moment she felt her forehead. "Why get sick anyways? Especially today? Were you missing someone in particular?" she teased Beezus. She had not kept up with her Hogwarts life these past few days so she really didn't know. On the other hand, Erin would sure be missing someone in particular who's already graduating now. Oh, how she wished to just have a glimpse of him today.

"I was staying at the back of the train with Raven, you know the Slytherin girl," she said. "That's the very compartment I stayed at the start of the term too. Conincidence, really."

Weird. Cornelia and Evangeline. "Are you decided about that?" asked Erin with non-agreement face."New broom!" She almost forgot, her bestfriend was part of the Quidditch team. "I would love to have one too. Can I come with you during summer?"

"Not anymore." Then she smiled. That fever was surely in a good timing. She hadn't been at the Great Hall during the Closing Feast because of that. Now that she thought about it, maybe the fever was caused by the boils that resulted from Professor Lafay giving them cursed charmed cupcakes. Missing anyone? She looked at her best friend with inquiring eyes. Hmmm.. She was not close with any of the seventh years so she won't miss any of them. As for her other friends, there were some that she was not able to say goodbye to, like Harvey, Jezabel, Pam, Nate, Aurora, Kurumi, Katie, Renesmee, Jayden and even Mordred. "No one in particular." She answered. Though..."How about you?" Beezus asked, quickly shifting her thoughts.

Raven? "Oh. Her. I met her in Hogsmeade." Yeah, that girl who said that Slytherin house was the best of all four Houses, and in which Beatrice highly disagrees, even if they won the Quidditch Cup, Gobstones and even the House Cup. "Must be fate Cornelia," she mumbled as she took out her wand.

"Yes. I'll call you Cornelia. Isn't that just unique?" Erin sure don't want to be called that, Beezus thought. But it would be really fun. "You could your Mum to get you one you know, and maybe we can buy it together at Diagon--" But she was caught off her guard by what her best friend said next. Come over? Her? to our house? The second-year-to-be asked in her mind. "Erin..I mean, Cornelia..that would.. be.." She's beaming now. "wonderful.."

No one in particular?

With that inquiring eyes from Beezus, Erin answered, "Really? Not even that guy witn an 'M'?" she teased even more. The best part of being Beezus friend was that Erin could always say all the things that comes to her mind, teased her, mocked her and she wouldn't even get angry at her. What a wonderful friend!

"Good that you've met her," she said then continued in a low voice. "The fast is, he's a little proud sometimes and stands on her principles too much." Erin did not know why she said that but she felt the need for it after seeing Beezus response upon hearing her name.

That name again? Mum? That shifted Erin's mood. Why would her very best friend tell her about Mums, her Mum? "My Mum's dead," she said bowing a little. If only she could have her Mum buy her that broom.

M? M? M? Who? M, who?! "Uh.." Who was her best friend trying to imply? "No?" She answered in a questioning as she shook her head lightly. Surely, she was not implying about Mordred right? That would be plain disgusting. "And you? No one? not even someone who's graduating?" Beezus shot back.

"So..you've noticed." She commented. That Raven girl was nice to acquaint with but not really the type that she would want to get too close with.

Uh-oh. How could she forget that? That fact! Simply preposterous.. "Err--" Beatrice quickly thought of a way to shift her best friend's attention. "Anyway.." She started, leaning closer to Erin. "Let's plan this you-going-over-at-my-place-for-summer, eh?" That should do it, right? Talking about that probably change the saddening atmosphere. She did not really want to get all emotional right now. Besides, if she Erin really was going there then they needed to talk it out.

Beezus really had this thing that lets Erin spill everything that's going on in her mind. "You know who I'm talking about. Let's not drop names," she said sticking her tongue towards her. She looked around, "Some students might be playing tricks on us like extendable ears." She giggled.

"Let's not talk about her if that's the case," said Erin really wanting to stay with Beezus as long as the train come to a stop at the King's Cross. However, she didn't want Raven alone at their compartment. Ahhh. For now, she needed a bestfriend time.

Eeeeep! The summer thing! Yeah, they needed to sort everything out about that little adventure they were planning. "I'll call you when I'm going. You have a telephone right? Or we could just do email. I bet you're got signal at your place," she smiled.

She raised one eyebrow as her best friend stuck out her tongue. "And who's gonna be listening to our little conversation?" She inquired. They weren't famous around the campus so chances are basically none. "You just don't want to admit that you like him.." Now it was her turn to stick out her tongue and she did, then gave Erin a teasing grin.

Hmmm? "Alright. We don't want some trouble here." As much as she wanted some excitement as they were leaving Hogwarts, having problems with another student was clearly not on her list.

Hehe. "Of course. My cellphone would work there." Not like in Hogwarts where things that uses electricity dies. "I have Twitter. Do you?" She asked. The website sure would be helpful if they wanted to have a steady communication. "By the way, Cornelia..where in the planet do you live?" Beatrice can't believe she was asking her best friend that question. But come to think of it, she really did not know.

Like? Oooh! That word. "Like? Who? Who likes who?" she chuckled again. "We do have a lot of friends, gossipy ones who almost knew everything that's first year," she said remembering the incident at the Great Hall earlier with Annabeth and her well, sort of boyfriend. They were holding hands. They looked cute.

"England I guess," said Erin laughing. "Somerset." Shoot! Yeeessh! "We're visiting Korea this summer! I'll call you when I come back, since I already have your number and let's Skype huh?" She didn't want missing her bestfriend. Eeeeee! How nice to have someone to call bestfriend now.

Crashing an RP! :woot:
 

Rose stood up from her compartment as she saw her best friend walk by, completely not noticing her. She ran out of it and followed her, stepping inside her compartment to find her with Justin, who was speaking to her, and was slightly red.
Rose's eyebrows rose. She sat next to her best friend, staying silent, before speaking.
'Hello.' she said quietly, not at all like her normal self.

" Oh, hey there, Rose. " Justin said as he quickly sat back in his seat. He tried to hide his blushing face while he made it look like he was fixing his hair. " Where've you been? "

Rose nodded as he sat back in his seat, smiling weakly. 'I've been in another compartment, I saw Ronnie and ran after her. Wh-What's this I hear about Scabbers?' she asked quietly, tears coming to her eyes. She loved Scabbers, he had been like a pet to Rose as well, and he got along well with her cat and her kittens.

" The poor rat passed away , Rose.He hadn't been well for a while I think. " explainedJustin. Then he saw tears form in her eyes and pulled out a clean hanky from his jumper pocket and handed it too Rose.

Rose put her hand over her mouth to hide a sob that came through it. Dammit. She took the hanky and wiped her eyes, but more tears kept coming. Like a dam. And it was breaking... Why was everything happening today, why!?

Justin got up from his seat and picked Rose upand sat down with her on his lap. Wrapping his arms around her and holding her close he said, " what's the matter, Rose? We used to talk all the time... We haven't spoken in ages. Would you please talk to me the way you used to? You used to tell me nearly everything. " he pleaded.

Rose put her face in his chest and sobbed for a while, probably wetting Justin's robes, but, meh, he asked for it. 'I-I'm just so wo-worried for ev-everyone, and then we-we're not going to g-get to see our dad for a-ages a-and I'm worried Ru-Rupert won't like us, or that Vi-Violet will have a breakdown or something.' she said, still sobbing, making it hard for people to decipher what she was saying.

" Isn't he gettin' married. I thought I heard that somewhere?" he asked. " I'm sure everything'll work out. And if you need a friend yer always welcome at my house. Are you coming to my party, Rose? " Justin really hoped so, she was loads of fun and it'd help her cheer up.

Rose nodded. He was getting married, she and Ronnie were bridesmaids. 'Th-Thank you, Justin...' she whispered, looking at him and smiling weakly. Party? 'You're having a party? W-Well, yeah, I'd love to come!' Rose smiled happily. A party! That was her scene!

Namitha got into the train..This was her last year at Hogwarts..She was moving back to India with her parents...As she saw an empty compartment she got inside..Hey..there were two people inside..she hadn't noticed. she said 'Sorry..Didn't see you there..Mind if I join you??'

" Cool, it's a dinner party with a dance to follow. My mum put it together. She thought it'd be anice way to start the summer. That and meet my friends. " he smiled.

Rose nodded simply. 'W-Will we have time to unpack first? I don't even know if Rupert'll let me go...' Rose said sadly. Hopefully he would, though!

Selina excused herself from the middle of the train to wander around the corridor's for a little while before they got to King's Cross. She wanted to get home and all, but her heart was back at that castle with all of her friends who she would see over the summer, yet it wouldn't be the same. There was something magical all on its own about just seeing your friends everyday and Selina was not going to have that, with the exception of Chris and Elyon, over the summer. So her thoughts needed clearing and if she ran into anyone she knew perhaps she would stop by and chat. Subconsciously, she wanted to see one specific person. Her best friend, a certain Gryffidor prefect and most house point earner four times in a row.

But she did not know she was even looking for her, so she sat down in an empty compartment and took out a copy of Quidditch Weekly. She flipped over the cover and saw a huge picture of Carter Phillips in his new blue uniform grinning like a wild man. There was a story on Hogwarts players who left school and went straight into Professional Quidditch. Good for Carter.

Exiting the prefect's compartment, Kurumi half heartily made her rounds around the train. With so many seventh years leaving, many the first people she had ever met in the wizarding world, it just didn't seem like a time to be bouncing and eager for the summer. Sure, they were all going to go off and do amazing things with their lives and she would be seeing almost all of them over the summer in Diagon Alley...and she would be visiting France to bake a cake for Salander and Lexi...but it just wouldn't be the same.

Dragging her feet, Kurumi looked up just in time to see a flash of red hair. "Hey, Selina," she smiled weakly.

Selina looked up from her article when she heard a voice say her name from the door of the compartment. She smiled at Kurumi who looked a little sad and she put her magazine to the side. Her body scooted over on the seat in the compartment to make room for Kurumi to sit beside her. Once there was room she patted the bench and said nicely, "Hey kiddo, how you doing?" It was no secret that Kurumi was taking this change quite harshly. Most of the people she looked up to and admired were in this graduating class and it was hard for Selina to see them go... she could not imagine what it was like for Kurumi.

Kurumi unfolded her arms from around herself and walked in, taking a seat beside her best friend and sighing just a bit. "Doing alright, I suppose. I am not sure I am really read for the summer though." It was going to be another busy one, which meant less time at home with just her mother's judgmental gaze, so that was good, but she was having a hard time coming to terms with her being a fifth year now. The jump from third to fourth hadn't seemed so big. But fourth to fifth, that seemed like it was a whole different world. She would be considered an upper classman now...

It was all too weird.

"H-How are you?" she asked in return as she caught a glimpse of the Quidditch magazine Selina was attempting to hide. "Is that the one with the article about Carter in it? I've already got myself a copy of that one."

"You'll be fine," Selina assured her, "Besides, its not like they are all going to the next life. They are just moving on from their schooling. You'll still have them all around." She wrapped one around around Kurumi's shoulder and gave it a quick squeeze. Poor thing was upset. Selina wished she could at least help her a tad, but only time would help her now. It was weird to say goodbye.

She looked down at the magazine when Kurumi drew attention to it. She picked it up and smiled, "Yeah I'm okay and its funny to see him here. It's already like they're gone.."

Kurumi giggled and tossed her long black hair over her shoulder. "Funny, Josh said the same thing to me back in the common room." Speaking of Josh, she still had something to give to him. They had been interrupted at the closing feast by Hoppity the baby house elf. "It's just...weird...you know? Now I have to be the upper classman that students look up to when I have been the one looking up all this time..."

"Yeah...I'll miss playing Quidditch with Carter...even if he did almost get me killed several times on the pitch," she said with a spritely tone. There was no hint of anger or regret, only one of pure joy. It had been an honor following her captain's orders.

"Josh said what in the Common Room?" Selina questioned. Had she basically repeated a Josh Carter comment? That would be odd if she did. It was even odder to think of a school without Josh Carter in it. What would they do next term without all of the upperclassmen who had graduated? Merlin, Hogwarts was going to be so different.

She chuckled at the memories she had on the pitch this term. Then it made her a little sad because Kurumi was not going to be playing next term. It was weird that so much was changing so quickly. Everyone had told her once that things changed as you got older. There was not much she could do about it. It made her sort of sad to think about growing up, but she could not stop it, "Yeah, I'm gonna miss him next term."

Kurumi laughed again, remember what Josh had said. "Pretty much told me to stop looking like everyone had died because it wasn't farewell forever, just see you again." She fumbled with her pockets for a moment until she found the chocolate wrapper that never left its home there. It hadn't for the past four terms, and it was only doing so now to be returned to who it had originally come from. Slowly, she removed it from her pocket and held it there for a few seconds.

"I...I'm not going to have any more big brothers," she said with a bit of a shocked expression on her face. THAT....was really weird.

Lilly spotted Rose, talking to Justin. 'Hello,' she smiled, nervously. God, she was having a panic attack.

Please, please, don't mention panic attacks. *shudders*
 

Rose looked up and saw Lilly, before smiling at her. 'Heya, Lills...' she said quietly.

*Blushes*
 

'Are you alright?' Lilly asked, alarmed at her unusually quiet sister.

Don't worry, you didn't know... :glomp:
 

Rose shook her head. 'I'm worried that Rupert won't like me and will send me away.' she said quietly, patting the seat beside her. She was sure Ronnie wouldn't mind Lilly sitting with them...

Did you know smilies don't work on titles? :)
 

'Pretty much same here. But I don't know why you're worried. At least you've met him,' Lilly went to sit in the seat Rose had indicated, smiling anxiously at Justin.

Yes, yes, I did. :yes:
 

'Uh, I said hello to him, apart from that, I haven't spoken to him!' Rose said in an estranged voice, freaking out even more. She was the worst child of them all, trust issues, pranking, mean, and more. She was freaking.

Okayyy. What to say in this situation? 'That's better than nothing,' she squeaked.

I didn't know what to say.
 

Rose shrugged. 'Not really, he might like you, he might not like me.' she said simply.

'Ha! As if. Why would that happen? I'm a complete git! And I'll even admit it,' she grinned. 'Unlikely theory.'

'Lilly, I was nearly in Slytherin. Very nearly.' Rose said simply, looking at her sister.

Salima took a bite out of her pumpkin pastie and took a book out of her bag and began to read "Quidditch Through The Ages"

I forgot which cat Rose gave Lilly, and Pearl isn't exactly perfect...
 

Again. What was she s'posed to say? Akward situation. She glanced at Justin, desperately. Could he read minds? Lilly couldn't exactly mouth "help!" at him, with Rose staring at her. What to say? Nothing. So, the girl kept quiet, still trying to find something to say.

Anyone?
 

Adrianna walked through the train, purposely avoiding the last compartment, the compartment she and Justin always sat in...she just couldn't do that. It made her upset to think about him, but happy to know she could see him again.

She sat down in an empty compartment and sighed contentedly.

"Hey, I got you some sweets..." Ronnie said, digging in her bag. She took out three chocolate frogs and gave one to Rose and one to Justin, and one for herself. Then she got out some Bertie Botts. She smiled. "Take one...if you dare!" she said giggling.

Ronnie jumped a little when someone sat next to her. "Oh, hi Justin." she said smiling trying to get her finger out of her hair..AHH AHHH ARRG! It was STUCK! She finally pulled it out. Phew. "Oh anytime." she said waving a hand. Then her eyes widened a little. "Wh....wh...what?" she asked. "You.....were?" she asked quietly. "What...do you mean?" she asked her face slightly red. She wished she could slap herself...ugh ugh UGH!

'Think of who your talking to, here... Roe Deluise, Snion, of course I dare...' Rose smirked, taking her frog and a bean. 'Thank you!' she said, before chewing the bean and gagging. 'Bogey.' she said, swallowing. Yes, she had just swallowed it.

" Well, the party is a coupler of hours after we get off the train.I hope you can attend... " said Justin
." Hi, Lilly. " Justin said with a smile.
" Oh don't say that. He'll love ya. "
" "Thanks, Ronnie. O-oh never mind about that. I-I was just..." Justin tried to explain nervously. Then he blushed deeply and looked out the window.
Eeeew!

If there was one thing he hated more than the brats, it was Joshua Carter.

"Funny," he said, wrinkling his nose. "Such a distinction we have, about the things we laugh." Funny it was, for a 4-year-old maybe, to creep up from behind on people to scare them. And then comment that there wasn't a dragon chasing them. A real piece of clever joke.

Looking at the apple, he shook his head slightly. "It's fallen down," because of your funny joke. "I don't want it." Now, he actually wondered if the boy would eat it.

Surely not, would he?

Vashti watched as the little fluffy thing fall off the girl's head and land on the seat. It seemed to be okay though, so Vashti turned her attention back to the girl and the clearly full bag in her lap. Cally, however, continued eyeing the little pygmy puff, as if wondering what it was and whether she could break out of her cage and eat it. Her owner almost always kept her cage locked when she was on this moving vehicle though, so she probably wouldn't be able to break out. Still, she eyed the little creature, wondering what it would do.

Vashti didn't pay much attention to Cally though as the girl confirmed that it was in fact a pygmy puff whose name was Kent...and who was the king of pygymy puffs? She chuckled. "I didn't know there even was a king pygmy puff," she said with a small smile. Perhaps there was a queen too?

"Her full name's Calandra," she answered, looking over at her owl and now noticing the look she was giving the other girl's pygmy puff, "but she usually goes by Cally." She stuck her finger through the bars of the cage and gently poked the eagle owl in the side. Cally let out an indignant hoot and turned her head away from Kent to glare stare at her owner. "Oi, don't look at the pygmy puff like that. He isn't food for you," Vashti told her with a small frown and a shake of her head. Cally simply continued to glare stare at her.

And then, suddenly, she heard another voice in the compartment that she was sure didn't belong to the girl with the pygmy puff. Turning away from her owl, Vashti saw that there was, in fact, another girl in the compartment.

"Sure, I don't mind," she told her with a smile before looking to the pygmy puff girl. "Do you?" She doubted she did, but it was best to check, right?

Ronnie smiled. "Good!" she said giggling as she gagged. "Wow! You just had to pick that one!" she said giggling again. "My turn..." she said, nervously sticking her hand in the box and pulling out one. Hmm...it was pink! She popped it in her mouth and cocked her head. "Ah. Soap. It's actually pretty good!" she said laughing. "I should eat soap more often!" she said beaming.
Ronnie cocked her head. Why was he looking out the window? And was he...blushing?! She smiled shyly. He was quite cute when he blushed.... She then shook her head. "Justin?" she asked, placing a hand on his hand. "Please tell me." she said.

It was that time of the year again, summer was almost in their sights. This was the time of year where everybody said there goodbye's and hoped to have a good summer. But first came the ride home at the Hogwarts Express. He walked into the train, and noticed a few of his friends in the front of the train in a compartment. He spotted Ronnie, and another girl he didn't know. "Good day." He said shyly. "How are you Ronnie?" While putting down a copy of the daily prophet and some Magical Magazines.

"Hey, Jordan!" Ronnie said smiling happily, patting the other spot next to her. "I'm great, thanks! You?" she asked, noticing him put down a copy of some magazine..."What's that?" she asked.

"Some Quidditch Magazine my Uncle picked up from Diagon Alley." He had no idea what store it was actually from, nonetheless he bought it. "So, what have you been up to?" Jordan asked.

"Oh cool!" she said smiling. She loved quidditch...she was itching to get her hands on that magazine but thought not to. That'd be rude! Maybe she'd go and find the same one later. "Ohh, nothing much. Just being happy school is finally over!" she said smiling. "But sad to be leaving my friends, especially you." she said sighing. "Oh, would you like to come over sometime and hang out?" she asked. She was really hoping he would. What was summer without Jordan?!

Jordan smiled. "Of course, I'm never busy anyway with my Uncle always working." Jordan often found himself at Diagon Alley talking to people, trying to meet new friends. "The only thing I hate about Hogwarts, is saying goodbye to it."

Ronnie felt her heart flutter as Jordan smiled. She shook her head. "Er...wh...what? Oh yeah." she said nodding quickly hoping he didn't see her blush. But it was pretty obvious. Her whole face was almost matching her hair. "I'd love to have you over you can come to the wed-" she just noticed she never told Jordan about the wedding! How stupid of her! "Jordan!" she said. "I never told you! My brother Rupert is getting married! And and and you're more than welcome to come to the wedding!" she said nodding and smiling shyly. Then she nodded. "Yeah, it is pretty hard. But it's easy to say goodbye to the work!" she said laughing.

Oh. This was the last time Stephen would be riding the train. Or at least this train. Though it did hold good memories. Like that one time Kat and him scared the younger years with masks up and down the corridors. Or when Kat set a slime prank in one of the last compartments of the train. He was sure they'd have more good times when they leave and go search for his parents. That is if she comes along.

Riding on his trunk down the corridor, Stephen used his arms to move and dodge around the people who jut couldn't get out of the way. Seeing an empty one, he quickly rowed his way to it, before anyone else could snatch it. Well then it was a good thing he dodged into it first and left his trunk outside. Pulling and placing his trunk in the compartment, he laid down on the seats; taking up an entire side of the seats.

"Finally, some time to relax," he mumbled to himself, turning his face away from the door.

Part of the blonde was glad she was going home, the other part just couldn't be bothered with her brothers and her dad being at work all of the time. But they were how old now, surely the would have learnt to stay out of her way? Only time would tell, she guessed, but for now she needed to find a compartment to put her trunk in and sit for the journey.

Preferably and empty one, or with people she knew. Who really seemed to be few and far between, nowadays.

Looking left, she spied a black-haired boy sprawled across one length of seats and smiled slightly to herself, leaning on the frame of the ajar door. "Mind if I come in?" she asked - best to be polite.

It was weird to think that it was Stephens last time on the train, that he wouldn't be riding it next year, that he wouldn't be a familiar face in the Common Room, or someone to Ice Skate with. Not that he was much good anyway, but still.

It was odd.

Stephen was on the verge of falling asleep when someone decided to open their mouth. Mind if I come in? Yes, he actually did mind since he was trying to sleep. But let's not be rude to the little blonde girl who stood at the door. "Well, that all depends if you're going to me miss next year? Me, your worst student at ice skating. But at least you'll have less bruises without me around," he chuckled, turning his head towards her and smirking. He waved his hand, signaling her to come in and sit.

"Are you looking forward to going home?" he asked, leaning his body weight onto his should and yawning a bit.

Actually pretending to consider it, Aimée titled her head to the left. "You were also my only student, if I remember correctly." And yes, he had caused her a lot more bruises than no student at all would have caused, but she wasn't going to openly admit that she would miss him - he knew how to cheer her up, he was funny, and it wasn't a secret that she liked him.

She blushed a little at the thought, before attempting to pass it off as effort dragging her trunk through the door and into the luggage rack.

Aimée shrugged. "Partly. I guess I 'ave missed my dad, but it just means next year's coming all to quickly." And she wasn't ready for that - this time next year it'd be her last journey on the Hogwarts Express... and that was a weird thing to think. "Are you?"

"Then I guess I shot down your hopes in helping other to skate. If it didn't go so well with me, maybe it'll go worse with others. Then again, I am pretty stubborn so it'll probably go a lot better with them," he shrugged with a laugh. Problem was that Stephen was too afraid of falling. But he always got his composure back when he tripped, but this was on ice. There's no way of getting his composure back in it. But she still hadn't answered his question. Stephen would probably take that as a no.

"Kind of. I'm going to look for my parents this summer so I won't be home much. Technically, I'm not going home. I'll being a nomad with Lexi and Kat all summer until who knows when," he admitted. He was eager but then he wasn't sure how his parents would react to him picking up his things and just leaving.

"Ah, well I am not sure anyone else would be willing to learn from me. I'm pretty sure you would be ze best student, zough." Aimée couldn't help but laugh, taking the seat opposite Stephen and next to the window. She still hadn't answered his question, ever-avoiding it as an awkward topic. Where did she even stand with this boy, anymore? She didn't know if she'd even know, not now he wasn't coming back next year.

His parents, huh? She remembered him telling her about being adopted, and nodded slowly as he spoke. "I hope you have fun, then," she said with a slight laugh, the idea of those three travelling 'round together sounded like it was a plan made of mischief. "Good luck and... well, uh- be careful." He voice took a note of seriousness, and her cheeks flushed pink again as she spoke.

Was Aimée worried that the older boy would get hurt or something? Kinda.

"Really? Well, congratulations." Jordan didn't even remember that Ronnie had a brother. "When is it?" He asked.

Ronnie smiled. "Thanks, mate." she said. "Oh, I actually don't know yet. They're figuring that out. But they're positive it'll be this summer." she said.

Justin looked up over at her still red in the face, " I-it's just that I think... " he trailed off again. He didn't know if he should say it out loud. Especially with Rose sitting right there. " listen, I don't know how to say this without it sounding wrong as I'm with Ame." he needed to bite the bullet and get it out. " Oh , Hell, I think you're really pretty and for some reason I think about you quite often. I like your hair the way it shines in the sunlight and your smile is so beautiful.... " He stopped what he was saying. It was wrong. He was with Ame and had given her that promise ring at the feast. Merlin, what a mess he was making.

\ "You're only saying that because I was your only student," he chuckled, swinging his feet back on forth off the seat. Though she could make good money off teaching other people to ice skate. Now if only she could figure it out on her own. Aimee should probably start it off like a lemonade stand or something. Cheap at first, but costly as time goes by. Of course, only Stephen would think of such a thing because he could use the money.

"Fun? This is serious business, blondie!" Stephen laughed. But who knew? Maybe they would have fun searching around the world. Unless his parents found out about him looking for his biological ones. Be careful. "I don't make any promises on me being careful. But I do promise on staying alive. Or else I wouldn't get a chance to date you," he smirked.

Ronnie listened to what he said. "You think....what?" she asked, waiting for him to finish. Then, he finally said it and the color drained from her face. Hublskdfjoeijfcsldkrjoeur.......she opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out! She couldn't make any noise so she clamped it shut, her face slowly turning red, and her heart fluttering and her stomach flipping. Gosh. Finally, she spoke. "I....w...wow..." she said shaking her head. Good thing Harvey wasn't here, or Ame...she couldn't find any words at all!!! It was quite embarrassing sitting here saying nothing after what he had said! She finally spoke. "That was...amazing, J-Justin." she said quietly. "Well, thank you." she said. She was in a real pickle now...she liked three guys? Merlin's beard..she sighed. "I...think you're...." she sighed and leaned in so she could whisper in his ear. "I think you're very cute...and...sweet...and I kinda....think about you a...a lot too.." she whispered truthfully. This was the plain truth.

Oh, Good Godric! She thought about him too! What was he gonna do?! Ame was his girlfriend and now his heart started to beat faster and faster. Heck, It was practically jumping out of his chest. she was smiling and blushing and he couldn't possibly get any redder. " Y-you do...ya think aboutMe?!" This was unreal . this was crazy! Justin stood up and looked into her eyes and said, " as long as I'm with Ame we have to be friends and nothing more. And Harvey?! Oh Lord, I can't do anything . I have to go . but I'll be back in a moment. Please don't go anywhere. "

Minnie ran as fast as she could away from them. She found the first compartment that was empty and flew inside. She sat in the corner and put herself in a ball crying into her legs. What had she just done. She just destroyed not one, but maybe two relationships and so many friendships. She rocked back and forth crying.

Justin ran after Minerva. He could let her think that she was ruininng anything. No it was really him. It was his fault everything was going to pot. Ame, Ronnie , Harvey. He saw her duck into an empty compartment and followed. " Minnie, Why do you think you ruined everything. I've done my fair share of harm today. I never should have said anything to Ronnie and now I think she likes me. She told me I was cute> Now I hurt all the girl friends that I have. "

Harvey saw a blur past him and saw that Justin had run past him to get to the compartment.. he took his time.. Minnie needed a little bit of time.. He go there and looked inside there she was curled into a ball. Justin was talking to her.. what was he saying to her he didnt know, Harvey then entered and sat opposite her.. "Mins calm down.. please calm down.. nothing happened.. remember that nothing happened in the food car.. we were just talking nothing else.. nothing else happened. No-one will know.. Now calm down please.." he said to her.. he went to reach out for her but pulled back it was best he didnt touch her for the moment.. He just sat there watching her..

Minerva just rocked back and forth crying. She put her hands over her ears to drown them out. "It was a mistake.. all of it was" She hurt everyone she did what she was trying not to do..

Harvey knew that no matter how many times he would say that nothing except talking had happened in that car she wouldnt be able to forget any of it!! "Mins.. ok that is all it was.. a mistake.. we are allowed to make mistakes.. that is what makes us human.. a person who makes mistakes.. now please calm down please.. for me?" he added the last part hoping it would have an effect on her.. maybe for him she would calm herself down...

Minerva just kept rocking back and forth she had completely lost it. All the pressure, .all the fighting, all the well kissing. It was to much, to much. She just rocked and cried

]TextCut="Minnie"] [/textcut]

Harvey saw that asking her to do something for him didnt work and he only knew one way of comforting girls and that was hugs.. but he didnt want to make her feel any worse but he had not choice he could not watch this her crying like this.. so he slowly got off his seat and went up to her and he slowly his arms around her as she rocked back and forth.. "Ssshhh please stop crying.." he said as he held onto her

Minerva felt Harvey's arms around her she didn't fit him. She just put her head into his chest and continued to cry. "I am so sorry you two. I have made a complete mess of things."

Harvey felt her put her head into his chest as he held her and she said she was sorry "No Mins... you havent made a mess of things.. well for me you just made me realise what I had known all along.. so there is no mess.. and there never will be" he said as he held her.. hopefully she would calm down bit-by-bit as he held her.. this is what she needed right now someone to comfort her..
