She looked at Saber then Harvey. "Oh! Harvey this is Saber, Kyle's cat. She has Dashi," she explained to him.

He wasn't sitting too close to her was he? He wasn't too far away though right? Gahhhhh he didn't know the proper amount of space to leave on their like second meeting since they started to date. Was there like a book he coudl find on this stuff in the Library at Hogwarts? He would check.

"Of course I am." he rebutted her 'she guessed so'. "There's nothing about magic in my house, besides what I bring up, all summer." he chuckled. "After spending all term last year surrounded by it, its hard to go without it all." So needless to go on more about it, August had missed his lessons and chance to perform magic.

A little taken aback by the next comment Taryn brought up but he was pleased to hear it at the same time. "Y-you are?" he asked looking at her with his usual grin. "I'm excited to spend more time with you."

CAT!

Eyeing the creature the Gryffindor turned to look at its owner again. "Oh, you have a cat. What's its name?" he said looking at it quizzically, it hadn't attacked him yet at least. "It doesn't eat turtles does it?"

Harvey smiled and looked at the cat on Ame's lap "Oh! hello Saber.. you are very cute!" he said to the cat.. he then looked at Ame "How comes you two exchanged cats?" Harvey asked curiously..

Amelia could hear two familiar voices in the train now, so she headed towards them, smiling when she reached the compartment. "Zayden and Amelia!" WHEE!! She hugged them both and then kissed her boyfriend. She waas happy now because she was on the train and seeing people. "What's up here?" :3 She didn't know they knew each other.

She noticed another boy now. "Hey, Isaac!"

Taryn's thoughts continued in the same direction, pretty much echoing August's. Maybe she would write to Tori and ask her these questions? She should probably start a list..

"Oh, I forgot about that." It hadn't occurred to Taryn that Auggie's family were Muggles. "There's no magic at my grandparent's house either." Her grandparents, her mother's parents, were Muggles as well. "Unless my dad is there, of course. He likes to mess with them." Taryn laughed a little bit. She mostly spent her time with her grandparents, though.

Taryn blushed a little bit when he agreed that he was glad for time too. Maybe when they spent more time together, everything would feel less awkward and new. Fingers crossed.

"Her name is Clara." Taryn bent over to pick up the cat, who had been a mere kitten before she'd left for Hogwarts last year. She cast a curious look at Auggie, her blue eyes wide. "Have you ever heard of a cat eating a turtle?" What kind of question was THAT anyway?

Speaking of which... "Where is Bruce, anyway?"

After saying her 'goodbyes' Quentin had boarded the train. It was still reasonably empty. Deciding she liked the back of the train she started to walk. She had never actually ridden a train before and was a little nervous, to top it off she had really only meet one person- and Tahnee was in Slytherin. Quentin didn't know anyone from Gryffindor yet, she didn't even know where the common room was. She just knew she would be the shortest, least experienced fourth year in school.

Her owl Kyo hooted to get her attention, she had just walked right past an empty compartment. She decided she may as well let people come to her than annoying others. She sat down right next to the window.

Elliot eyed her...she was in a giddy mood too, eh? Hmm. Elliot could change that!
"I..er, got you something. From Egypt. For you and Caelius. I went there in the beginning of August, so yeah," she said, holding her nose up in the air rather haughtily. She pointed to a neatly wrapped box sticking out from her laced backpack. The paper was a beautiful royal blue and shine bronze. "but you can't open it yet, you HAVE to wait until we get to school," she added, noticing that the compartment was becoming rather crowded and Elliot didn't know ANY of these people! hmph!

"But its VERY cheap, and hardly worth anything, so don't feel special...you're not...don't flatter yourself" she said sarcastically, rolling those blue eyes of hers.

Another person, a male, entered, and Elliot merely nodded his way, her eyebrow still raised in a critical way. The blonde was lousy at first impressions.
"Nice to meet you, Nathaniel," she said, holding out her hand politely. What was with these people!?! They have perfectly FINE real names, yet they INSIST on nicknames! It was enough to drive her INSANE. "I'm Elliot...Morganzo," she added. Merlin, these people were strange. Elliot wondered how Jayden could be friends with them! Well, Jayden was pretty weird herself. Hmmmmph.

"I'll call you Jezabel, then," she said, still eyeing the girl. She seemed...nice. Enough.

What a personal question! Elliot coughed a little, sat up straight, and examined her fingernails. Perfect. Like everything else about her.
"Mine? Good. I visited Egypt...quite an extraordinary place, really," she replied in that slow drawl she sometimes had when meeting new people. Her eyes flickered to the girl's face, and she noticed that she resembled Jayden...a little. Brunettes, both of them. How curious.

Jade Skidmoore walked to the back of the train, looking in each compartment for Nikolas or the weird girl. Why exactly was she looking for the weird girl? Because she had to know where she was that way she could avoid her, but for some reason she wasn't finding her. As Jade continued walking, now giving up on her search she heard the rumors fly by of the weird girl actually being a prefect. Oh no, that couldn't be true. It just absolutely couldn't be.

The brunette shook the thought off and found an empty compartment to sit in. She took off her warm, gray jacket and placed it beside her along with her bags. Maybe she would make a couple of new friends this year. Hopefully.

As Eva came down to the back of the train for the first time she spotted a darker haired girl than hair looking at herself quite oddly and she had to say it was quite frantic! Oh this girl looked weird staring at someone for longer than she expected. Eva opened her mouth with a slight tune of oddnes "Uh, why are you looking at me? Actually better word why are you staring at me?!" Eva didn't care if it sounded rude or not because it probably was but she just wanted to find the small problem with this girl! Anyway aside from frantically staring this girl looked nice.

While Jade was staring off into space, letting her thoughts control her mind, a voice snapped her out of her thoughts. "What? Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to stare at you. I was just thinking." She said, shaking her head. What was going on with her? Ugh. "I'm Jade Skidmoore, by the way. Sixth year, Gryffindor." She said, getting a slight hint that this girl was a Slytherin. Her snappish attitude definitely seemed like it. Then again, most people assumed Jade was a Slytherin, but she definitely wasn't. She straightened out her black skirt as she waited for the girl to introduce herself. Might as well be polite and make new friends.

Waiting for a response Eva opened her eyes a little. Eva was about to let out a laugh but it came as a small snigger. "Uh... explains it ok." Eva said with a trying not to do anything bad. "I guess um nice to meet you Jade. I'm Eva Lindgren I'll be starting my fifth year and probably be in Slytherin." It was true her whole family were Snakes they gave advice to her and told her it normally chooses wht she wants.

"Really?" Daichi grinned at the girl in front of him when she was all proud to announce she was taller than the average ten year old. He laughed his usual high pitched laugh which seemed to be the only thing that hadn't changed despite his major images change. Oh and his love for chocolate according to Kurumi.... "Well, to me you look small" he finally said after his laughter died away and he stuck his tongue out to show he was joking ..but not really because she IS small for him.

It felt a little weird to be older and more responsible he guessed. Not a year ago people treated him like this cute kid well, that was over now! His eyes twinkled at the thought of people seeing him now. Bye bye cute kid , hello Charisma~!

"Eh?" he too looked a his owl and shrugged his shoulders and smiled. "Thanks, i guess he is" he said before sighing deeply. "He is acting weird though the past few months, he gets scared of almost everything" he looked with a worried expression towards his pet and then to Carigan who was reaching forward to pet him. SuSu didn't like it even though Daichi saw she wasn't going to harm him and she petted him he coward away, flew up and sat on top of the couch.

Daichi decided to talk about his care of magical creatures professor about this behaviour but wondered if it would help. It wasn't care of *magical* creatures for nothing and last time he checked there was nothing *magical* about his owl.

"Hamlet? cool name~!" he said honestly as he bend forward to look at the raven and snickered. "You know, i wanted to buy a raven in my first year. But my father stopped me and i had to buy an owl" The Slytherin leaned his back at the couch and rubbed his eyes. "My father was a Gryffindor and my big brother a Slytherin, my mom was a muggle ... " he ended his words in almost a whisper. No matter where he was , the thought about his mother was really painful and Daichi blinked his eyes repeatedly to not show any weakness in front of the little girl.

Controlling his tears, Daichi looked curiously at what the girl was doing with the strings and pointed at it. "What are you doing?"

Pam smiled at Jez. "You really think so?" She blushed and pulled out a third envelope. They were her own batch of photos. All three envelopes had the same amount of pictures, but not all were the same. Jez and Pam had some of Nate, while Nate had some of Pam and Jez. She figured Jez didn't need pictures of herself.

"It's my favorite batch of photos. I've also got a new set of film so I can take many more this year!" Pam rummaged through her backpack, and found her muggle camera. She pointed it down to Ro. "Smile cutie!"

"Nooo!" Jordan woke with a start. He'd been having a bad dream, "I was not sleeping, I was resting my eyes!" he announced to the now crowded compartment. He noticed Pam and Nate had now arrived, "Hey guys!" he smiled at them, "It's been too long!" he laughed, noticing how Rowena was eyeing the owls. "Rowena keep away from my owl," he said to the cat sternly. "Anyway, what have I missed?" he asked the group, rubbing his eyes a bit too hard, that they changed colour.



Ooh Newbies! Newbies annoyed Jordan, all the introductions and stuff... Anyway, he put on a warm smile and spoke to the two new girls. "Hi there, I'm Jordan Macey, and you are?" he said, he noticed one of them looked as though she thought she was better than them all. Oh boy, this was going to be fun...

Laura got into the train. She waved her mom a 'bye' and set out to find her friends. Laura was feeling quite sad. In her old school, they could go home every weekend. here it was not possible.

She walked through the train, looking into each compartment to see if anyone she had previously met were in it.Ah! Finally she found Amy, Harvey and Lyssie . Maybe they wouldn't mind her joining them.

She said 'Hiya guys!!! Mind if I join you?'

LuLu was like SOOOO excited for Hogwarts!!!! Even though she wasating like 'Oh another year' she was almost dying inside! She bit her lip and looked in each compartment for a seat for Pres and herself! She sat down in the first empty compartment she could see yawned a bit and looked out the window! Nothing said snoozefest more then sitting on a train for like half a day but talking got rid of the ever lasting wait especially if it was with your best friend!!!!!

LuLu looked at all the students passing mostly firsties! But others just lazy and trying to find a seat even if somone tryed to go in she wouldn't mind and she knew Presley wouldn't really mind either!

With her gorgeous hair flowing at the small of her back, Erin walked around the train, she couldn't stay at her compartment with all those sleeping people. She wanted someone to talk to, someone she could share thoughts with. And then, she saw her friends, Jayden, Jezabel and Pam, okay, she could say Elliot would be one too but last time she talked to her, she was not really that friendly. And Nate, she met him at the Great Hall last year. Last time she met him, Erin pushed him intentionally due to Enya's dare and he didn't even know it.

"Hello guys!" she intervened. Some of them may not remember her, like Jordan who she met last year in the same compartment too. "Would you mind if I join? Pam! You have a camera! "

Rose opened a compartment door and smiled. She was going back to school. Back to where she belonged. Ugh, she sounded sappy. She chuckled slightly and walked into the empty compartment, sitting down and putting her trunks above her head, taking her cat carrier down and closing the door, before letting Maxine out to stretch her legs for the long journey home.

Rowena put on her most innocent face, then her cutie kitty face, then stood and posed, enjoying the limelight of the camera. Jez rolled her eyes and rested her head on Nate's shoulder, ready for a sleep. She was just drifting off when a shout jolted her upright.
"Jordan?" Jez looked at him in both confusion and concern. "Are you okay?" He sounded like he'd been having a nightmare. She rolled her eyes when he claimed he hadn't been sleeping. "And your snoring was just gentle breathing?" she smirked. He hadn't actually been snoring, but it would be a plus if she could get him to believe it ...
Jez looked up when the compartment door slid open again. Her smile brightened. "Erin! How are you? Did you have a good holiday?" She noticed Erin's hair was looking great too - they'd have to start a club if this continued!

"Holidays?" Holidays eh? Erin was not really planning to share her memory about that. Memories. Well, she could share the part with Beezus, just not everything right before that. "I had a great time with Beezus," said Erin with a smile brightening up her face. She sat next to Jezabel and caressed Ro with her hands softly. "How about you? Your cat? Doing good?"

She really wanted to try Pam's camera and posed too just like Ro. And she badly wanted a photograph of her and Jez for some unknown reasons. She actually missed this girl.

Jordan smiled at Jez, "No, I'm fine." he said, "Just a bit of a bad dream... I mean daydream, because I wasnt sleeping" he laughed, but what was that? Snoring? "Hey, I do not snore!" he protested. "but fine, I was sleeping okay? Are you happy now?" he pretended to pout.

Jordan looked at the new girl, no wait this girl wasn't new! His mind flashed back to the first train ride to Hogwarts. "I remember you," he said, still trying to think of her name. "You're Erin arent you?" he said. He didn't actually remember but Jez had called her that so...

Fun summer? So unlikely. But she did had fun with Beezus. "Yes! We did a lot of things together," she shared. "Pam and Nate, Are the together now?" Erin whispered to Jez so as not to let the other two overhear it. It's a shame she didn't know. And when she heard the cat talk, "Oh my gosh Jez! Your cat talks! Okay, I've heard Beezus telling me about this but it's still different first hand." After blurting out, she turned to addressed the cat, "Glad you're fine. I am Erin," she said like talking to a little kid.

Erin was very happy to hear that Jordan knew her. That was such a long time ago, and Erin was a Ravenclaw, she could remember everything, or some. "Yes, I am! And you're Jordan! How's your summer?"

Minerva finally appeared at the door. The medicine finally wore off and she was feeling a little more like her self. "Hey guys" she smiled. "I brought some snacks from the food trolley if anyone wants anything. Minerva put the sweets on the seat and grabbed some chocolate frogs. She sat down next to Harvey. "So what have you guys been up to?"

It was so good that Tiffany could finally go back to school and start her another new year. However it took her a little time to get familiar with all those people and places once again.It was her second year studying at Hogwarts, her second time taking a ride on Hogwarts Express. How many times are left? She didn't know. She just knew that she had to treasure every single time she had.

It seemed that it was very bustling at the back of the train so Tiffany went and take a look of it. As she walked along the corridor, she scanned every single compartment to see if her friends were there. Luckily her eyesight was good enough to spot Erin in one of them. She knocked on the door and entered as a kind of manner. "Hey Erin, it's been a long time since I have seen you! Where have you been?"she asked excitedly. Noticing there were other new students that Tiffany has never met, she greeted them one by one cheerfully,"Hey guys, I'm Tiffany!"She smiled.

Carigan smiled, she supposed that she was still small to almost everyone else, besides the other first years. Carigan let out a chuckle "Perhaps he's worried about something. Maybe he's worried about you." She said dreamily, still weaving the floss in an out. Her blue eyes flashed up at Daichi again for a moment.

"Thanks, I nearly named him Poe... but that would be too obvious." She giggled. "That's too bad, they are a beautiful creature. Hamlet here is quite calm. He just sits on my shoulder and nips at my ear or hair. I bet he could deliver mail... but for now he's the only thing I'm familiar with. I have a twin sister, you know. She begged my parents endlessly for two years not to send her to Hogwarts. They gave in and contacted other schools. She's on her way to Romania right now..." She trailed off and looked out the window. She wondered if her sister even missed her.

Carigan looked back at Daichi while he talked about his family. He seemed almost sad about having a muggle mother. "Muggles are nice. My moms sister married a muggle, and my fathers step mother is a muggle." She said, before continuing. "I live in the middle of nowhere. In the woods actually. Near a lake. We have a little log cabin. We're the only magical family for a few miles around. There's a small town near us and father sells handmade jewelry there and my mother tells fortunes. It's funny how the muggles think she's just really good at guessing" Carigan laughed.

Carigan looked down at her work as Daichi asked her about it. "Oh, I'm making a friendship bracelet. My father taught me how." She said, now nearly finished, just a few inches left.
