With little Forester under her arms, Brooklyn clambered up and onto the train. There was no time to waste. In all honestly, she just wanted to get home and finally sleep in her own bed again. And of course- she'd also get to see Slinky! Gosh, it'd been so long since she'd seen the little ferret. Merlin knew he'd probably gotten into all sorts of trouble without her, which kind of made her sad and homesick. But that was okay! Because she was finally on her way.

Being one of the first people on the train had always had it's benefits and having the first choice as far as compartments went was always something she liked. So, she made her way toward the back of the train, quickly grabbing one of the many empty compartments. From there- She placed Forester on the seat and stroked his back as he purred at her.

Minerva found a compartment and pushed her trunk in. Why was that thing always so heavy and why did she never think to levitate it until it was already in place. She took her robes off and threw them in her trunk. She was kind of happy to be in just her normal muggle clothes.

Harvey dragged his trunk through the train looking for a compartment.. just then he saw Minnie in one of them and dragged his trunk into the compartment before he sat down next to her "Well here we go again.. the train ride home and then the summer break" he said smiling as he looked at her and then watched as people passed their compartment either looking for other compartments or just walking by.

Minerva put her feet up and popped bubble gum in her mouth. "Yuuuuup here we go again." she looked out the window sad to leave, but happy at the same time. "What's the first thing your doing when we get off the train?"

Tay found an empty compartment and sat down. Damon and Maxwell both said they would come and others could join them as well. She put her luggage above the seat and took out a book. She leaned against the side with the window and started to read.

It had finally dawned on Dallin that this was his last train ride on the Hogwarts Express. He was going home, never to return. Sure, there would be bigger and better things once he got off this train. But he couldn't help but feel sad. Just a little.

He wandered down the train, his owl cage hitched under his arm and his trunk being dragged by his other. He didn't really want to sit alone, so he tried to find a compartment with someone that he knew. When he did, he knocked on the door quietly before opening it. "Brooklyn? Mind if I join you?" Sure, he was probably very unexpected. But it was worth a shot, right?

Harvey watched as she put her feet up.. popping bubble gum.. as she looked out the window.. a big difference from how she was this time last year.. but she was still Mins.. "Well once I get off this train.. I am going to say bye to everyone.. wish them a good summer.. then I might take a walk around Diagon Alley.. been a very long time since I have been there." he smiled.. it had been.. the last time he was there.. he was sitting around.. remembering hanging out with Minnie during their first year.. and wondering what she was upto and about her competition. "What will YOU be doing?" he asked her the same question back

Damon looked in, seeing Taylor he smiled, it was now or never. Maxwell was no where in sight, "Hey Tay." He said sitting his things above him, "So, what I was wanting to say earlier... That is if you still want to hear it."

Tay looked up and smiled at Damon, "Hey Ash." She saved her place and closed her book. "Yeah, of course i wanna hear what you was going to say earlier."

Maxwell walked into the compartment with his luggage in one hand and Helios on the opposite shoulder. Maxwell laughed a little. "He refused to stay in another Car." He said and the Phoenix who looked much younger than normal, having just finished his last cycle, let out a squawk to tell everyone he wasn't that needy. "Hi, Taylor. Hey, Ash." He said taking the seat next to Taylor. Helios purring at the sight of her.

"Hey Maxwell, Helios." She smiled and reached out to pet Helios, "Helios, may i say you just get better looking each time i see you?" Taylor laughed and smiled.

Minerva shrugged. "I don't have a clue really. I don't even know if anyone will be there to pick me up. I might just be on my own until I get to my grandparents house." she had now clue, no one ever really confirmed where she was to go. Oh well she thought alone time was not a bad thing for her.

Oakey stepped onto the train looking back, he never liked leaving Hogwarts... He had to walk down the corridor slightly bent over because his eagle owl, Valentine never liked riding in his cage, and instead always traveled on the top of Oakey's head. While his kitten, Charmer resting in his one arm while his other had his wand out floating his trunk to an empty compartment.


He set his trunk on a rack just above him pulled down Charmer's crate and placed his sleeping black cat into it, Valentine, didn't move. That's one more year done Valentine. He spoke to his owl. When we go back, it'll be 3 more to go. It must've looked silly seeing him talk to his owl, once his friends boarded on behind him, he'll let Valentine rest up and he can have actual interaction.

Damon fought the urge to glare at Maxwell, Him and his briliant timing! He sighed and shook his head, "Actually... It can wait."

Maxwell laughed. "Hey." And then watching his bird swim in compliments. "Don't give him too many compliments he may get a big head." He said laughing because he knew the bird already did.

Tay looked over at Damon and sighed, "REally Damon? How about you write it or text me?" To MAxwell and Helios, "But he is so pretty and nice." Taylor smirked.

Harvey listened as she spoke to him "Well I could keep you company if you want me to.. just until you get to where you need to go.. unless you dont want me to.. you can say no.. no need to say yes all the time. " he said as he wondered if anyone had remembered that they were to come home today.. and if they did he wondered who would be there to pick her up.. there had to be someone to pick her up from the station "I am sure someone will be there to pick you up.. they must know that we are leaving Hogwarts today" he smiled.. trying to think positively about what she had just said.. no use thinking negatively.. as it was not a nice way to think about a situation.

"It's something I'd rather say to you in person." Damon looked at her, "Sending it in a text or note might confuse you." Or worse, you could be oblivious again...

Maxwell laughed. "Yes, but now he won't stop going on about how pretty you think he is." He said laughing as if his friendship with his bird ran so deep he could understand it's words.

Tay glanced at Damon, "Then whisper it in my ear. To Maxwell, she did a fake sigh, "Fine i will try to stop." Taylor laughed and smiled.

Damon sighed scratching the back of his head, "It's not that simple. I'd rather it just be the two of us when I tell you."

Helios squawked and Maxwell looked at him as if he was talking, Then he turned to Taylor "He says 'Good Luck'." Maxwell laughed a little at that.

Tay looked at Damon, "Okay tell me when we are in the car." She smiled at him. Then looked over at Maxwell, "Or are you riding with us to Scotland?"

Alyssa was walking by looking for some of her friends when she saw someone familiar sitting in one of the empty compartments. So she popped in her head. "Hi Oakey. Do you mind if I join you or would you rather be alone by yourself?" Alyssa asked.
