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! |

But clearly you feel some need to make that fact known." he continued. He was ruffling her feathers and she knew it. "Oh that's wonderful. I'm going to be a fourth year as well. My parents got tired of me and sent my half way across the world." he said with a touch of sarcasm in his tone."So you say you play quidditch. What position do you play?" She was quite amusing. That was not a word that Selina would exactly use to describe herself. Who was he? She sincerely had never met him before in her life and he was quite blunt. Typically, she appreciated people who were blunt with her. It made the conversation much easier because Selina did not have to try to unriddle what they were really trying to say underneath all of the subtext, but he was a tad too blunt. However, he said it was just his personality so she would ignore it. Unless he persisted then she would have to get up and leave the compartment.
What did he mean that she felt the need to- ugh he was annoying. She was just trying to make a fact known because Grayson was being persistent about Selina being intriguing and beautiful or whatever other words he was using. But she kept a straight face because she did not want to be rude.
There was again being very oddly blunt with the parent comment, "Oh, where are you from?" She was not going to inquire about the parents. It was not her place and she did not know him very well at all. In fact, they had JUST met. "And I play Beater or Chaser. I am partial to Chaser but I do like the whole aspect of having a bat."

She hoped he'd stay, she wouldn't be desperate enough to ask the boy to stay cause then she would look weird and cling which was never good. She really hoped he would stay though, company was nice and she had heard the train ride there was rather long. Company made time fly, didn't it? Plus she needed all the friends she could get being a new student. Oh how she loathed being a new student. Everyone went through it, didn't they? Yeah but most did it when they were eleven not fifteen.
This seat looked as good as any?
She didn't try to even hide the happiness on her face as she heard his reply that he was indeed going to stay. In fact now he was even sitting down across her. The company would be nice, surely. "Even better because it's a compartment with me."A light chuckle left her lips as she finished. The boy could take it as a joke or take it seriously, Valentina wouldn't mind it. though she was totally serious Saving a seat for a friend? She waved her hand a bit, "Don't worry about it,"her slight Italian accent was exposed as she talked. "I'm not saving it for anyone actually...I..I'm new so I don't really know many people yet."No one she'd be willing to save a seat for, of course. Next year she expected she would be saving seats for friends though! Next year she was sure she would! She'd make friends and might people and people would like her and want to sit with her, dang it?
But wait, he was getting up? O_O
Her eyes doubled in size and her brain went into slight panic mode before...oh, he was just going to shake her hand. Okay, brain was off panic mode and her eyes returned to their normal size. "Oh, it's fine don't worry about it! Really it..."She laughed now, hearing him state he had not forgotten his name. Well, you kind of just said your name so it's rather obvious you didn't forget it. Plus, you're a teenage boy? My guess is you're 16? Anyway, it'd be rather idiotic of you to forget your own name."She stated in a matter of fact tone before shrugging her shoulders. He didn't look like the idiotic sort, he actually looked and seemed fairly intelligent, or maybe it was just Val hoping he would be smart so there could carry a decent conversation? Heh. "Pleasure to meet you,"She shook his hand now, friendly smile still etched upon her face."Cornelius, huh? That's a strange name."Not that she could talk much. It's not like there was many Valentinas in existence. "Valentina Kelly, Val please call me Val though I don't have any real problems with Valentina but Val's just..easier, I suppose? Wait, you're new?"She had rambled now, carrying on and finally pausing at this point."Well, maybe it's sheer luck you stumbled into another new student's compartment then."And not a kissing couple. WINCE. Cornelius's eyebrows rose as the girl explained that she was a new student as well, so she hadn't been saving a seat or anything. He gave a soft chuckle as she mentioned that the compartment was even better with her there, "Yeah, it's always nice to meet new people." He gave a brief nod as she mentioned that it would be idiotic for him to forget his own name, though he wasn't exactly sure how to respond to that. "Right, well actually, I'm 15," the boy explained as he finished shaking her hand and plopped back into the seat he had taken originally. "I'm going into 5th year here, but I'm just a few months from 16."
As she mentioned that Cornelius was a strange name, his brows furrowed just slightly and he set a playful glare on her. "Bullying me already?" he poked, "I just got here five minutes ago!" But as she began to explain her own name, the grin returned to his features, "Valentina?"
He thought for a moment, leaning back into his seat with an interested expression. "Vallllleeennnnnntttttiiiinnnnaaaa..." he paused, letting the name drift through the air. "That's pretty strange too, for someone who likes to judge names," he prodded, raising his eyebrows at her as though to say, 'How about your own medicine?' Laughing, he got up to go towards the small window, facing out to the countryside, and began to open it. "But you're right, it is rather lucky that I ran into another new student," he agreed, pulling the window up to allow the fresh air in. "Do you mind at all?" he asked in reference to the light breeze now coming in.

Woah, was she really hearing Isobel correctly. Both their names were similar and they both came from Beauxbatons. "Weird," Izzy realized that she said that out loud. "Sorry, not you, just the fact of the similarities between us." Izzy explained herself, she didn't want Isobel to think that she was mean or anything. "So that means that we probably crossed paths sometime at Beauxbatons. Why'd you leave there?" she asked with another gulp of coffee. Isobel nodded in agreement; it was really weird. It was kind of cool though; Isobel was glad she had met Isabelle. "Probably," Isobel agreed. She probably did not recognize her because they were both older now than they had been. Isobel had only been there for two years, so she had not met a huge abundance of people. "I wanted to see Hogwarts," she said, trying to explain. To be honest, even Isobel was not exactly sure why she had left. "I wanted to be with my, uh, little sister who was going to go to Hogwarts so I transferred when she started her first year." Ironically enough, Jaymie had transferred to Beaubaxtons, but Isobel had stayed for reasons previously visited. "How about you; what brought you to Hogwarts?" |

That was nice that she wanted to be with her little sister. "Does she still go here?" Izzy asked. "I wish my sister went here, but she's out of school already." She missed Gabrielle a lot. That would probably be the best part of her vacation, hanging out with her sis.
Isabelle's story. Well that wasn't the best compared to Isobel's, her's was nice, wanting to come to be with her sister. Izzy's, was well, just dull. "Some guy in my year had transferred from Hogwarts to Beauxbatons in my third year. He was bragging about Hogwarts, saying it was so much better. It sparked my interest and made me want to come, but I didn't want to leave my friends. In my fourth year I had a bad break-up with my boyfriend, so I begged my parents to let me transfer. It has been good so far, even though I don't really have any friends," Isabelle explained. Wow that was a mouthful to get out. It felt good to explain why she left her friends at Beauxbatons behind even though they were the best.

Originally Posted by SilverTiger After meeting up outside the station, Stella had somehow gotten separated from Matt. For now she was blaming it on her trolley, as maneuvering it through the crowds of people had been more difficult than she'd remembered from last summer. Of course, last summer she'd had Talia there with her to push her trunk around, and now she was asserting her independence. More accurately, she'd asserted her desire to spend more time with Matt without her sister's supervision, but then that couldn't really work when she lost him. She'd followed Gidget's squawking for a while, occasionally sliding her hand in her skirt pocket to make sure her tiger from last term was still there and hoping it would help her get to the Express. Granted, it wasn't easy to sneak around with her trunks, but at least maybe it could help her and Lyra get through the crowds.
Finally, she'd made it to the train, and carefully shifted her trunks off of the trolley and, balancing Lyra's basket on top, started dragging them onto the train itself. She'd lost track of Matt's owl's squawking, and that made her hope it wouldn't take too long to locate them. Her trunks were heavy, and her kitty really didn't like being so precariously perched on top. Glancing in every compartment as she passed them, occasionally shifting her attention to murmur something comforting to the quietly meowing cat, she smiled as she found Matt in a compartment near the front. Dragging the trunks inside, she stepped around Gidget's cage as Lyra jumped out of her basket to settle on one of the open seats, and dropped in to the seat next to Matt herself. "I thought I wasn't going to find you. At least you can use magic with your trunks," she said a bit breathlessly, craning her neck to try and see what he was sketching this time. He had to know she'd be curious. It seemed as though no matter how long he kept sketching, Matt couldn't keep the thoughts of graduation from appearing in his brain; whether he liked it or not, it was happening so there was actually not a need to be worried about that. Not right now at least. However any ideas of the distractions taking over his brain had immediately disappeared as soon as he noticed Stella hauling her trunks inside the compartment, well it seemed as though he had gotten far too distracted by his own thoughts to have forgotten to help his girlfriend. Though that never meant that he still couldn't help now, he set his sketchbook down and grabbed the trunks; slowly he lifted them up above the seat and made sure that they were stable enough in the rack since the last thing that he wanted to have happen was them falling. That would not end well at all. "Well.. I didn't want to be considered lazy after all, lifting a trunk is no different than a box; well it is a bit heavier but it's the same idea of course." he replied before picking up the sketchbook and handing it to her, he had known long by now that she was going to wonder what he was drawing this time and it wasn't exactly like he had had a problem with it anyway. "Is it just me, or does there seem to be more transfer students here this term?" Obviously he had been curious since between more younger students and the fact there were not a large number of people graduating, it seemed rather strange to him. Maybe it was a part of what was happening this term. Soon enough though, he'd know for sure.

"I am just stating it isn't a name you hear too often, have you ever met another Cornelius?"If he said he had she'd die of shock. Maybe not literally or anything but she'd defiantly be shocked.

"So, were you home schooled or did you attend another school?" Was it too early to ask questions? Probably but curiosity was in the girl's blood.

She continued to talk about quidditch."Oh that's interesting. I'm more of a beater myself."Grayson said. "What else do you do for fun?" When he leaned forward Selina leaned her back up against the back of the chair. What in Merlin's name did he think he was doing? He was a little too close for comfort in her opinion. So when he egged her on reveal her true opinion of him she rolled her eyes, "I have no problem with you per say. You just have a lack of personal space." Then he backed away and she let out a sigh she did not even know she was holding. Merlin he needed to observe the whole concept of space.
Brazil. That was interesting. She knew that Hogwarts was a world wide institution but she had never met anyone who was from Brazil before. That was interesting, "That's cool. And I'm from England. Grew up right outside of London to be exact."
A beater? Oh there is no way she would trust someone like him with a beater bat. He was way too impulsive. "I hang out with my friends and thats about it. I mean Quidditch is kind of my thing. What about you?" Besides harassing other girls he just met.

"So, were you home schooled or did you attend another school?" Was it too early to ask questions? Probably but curiosity was in the girl's blood. "Twelve?!" Cornelius piped up, mock offense on his features as he started back to his seat, sure that the girl couldn't have possibly thought that he was actualy twelve years old. In fact, most thought he looked older than his age. So hmph! "I assure you, I'm older than twelve." His eyebrows rose as she mentioned that she too was going into her fifth year, something he hadn't expected. What were the odds! Meeting someone going into the same year as himself, as a new student just like him. This was actually a nice coincidence! Though Cornelius prided himself on being able to meet people well enough, he had to admit that it was much easier to start this term by first meeting someone in the same situation as himself.
As she assured him she wasn't bullying, he couldn't help but grin at how offended she seemed to be at the accusation. "I was kidding," he assured her with a chuckle, taking an apple out of his bag and taking a bite out of it. "And no, I've never met another Cornelius, I'll give you that." He tapped his foot absentmindedly, listening as she explained that her own name was Italian, and it was a fairly common name in Italy. "I'd believe that," he nodded, throwing his apple up into the air and nearly dropping it, just barely catching it later in the throw than he had anticipated. "But I've never met a Valentina before, so we're even."
When she asked about his previous schooling, he sat up a bit, taking another bite of his apple as he thought for a moment. "Well, I've been to a few different schools, actually. Never been homeschooled, just moved a few different places and now I'm here." He gave a shrug and a grin, taking another bite of his apple, "What about you?"

Cornelius piped up, mock offense on his features as he started back to his seat, sure that the girl couldn't have possibly thought that he was actualy twelve years old. In fact, most thought he looked older than his age. So hmph! "I assure you, I'm older than twelve." His eyebrows rose as she mentioned that she too was going into her fifth year, something he hadn't expected. What were the odds! Meeting someone going into the same year as himself, as a new student just like him. This was actually a nice coincidence! Though Cornelius prided himself on being able to meet people well enough, he had to admit that it was much easier to start this term by first meeting someone in the same situation as himself.
As she assured him she wasn't bullying, he couldn't help but grin at how offended she seemed to be at the accusation. "I was kidding," he assured her with a chuckle, taking an apple out of his bag and taking a bite out of it. "And no, I've never met another Cornelius, I'll give you that." He tapped his foot absentmindedly, listening as she explained that her own name was Italian, and it was a fairly common name in Italy. "I'd believe that," he nodded, throwing his apple up into the air and nearly dropping it, just barely catching it later in the throw than he had anticipated. "But I've never met a Valentina before, so we're even."
When she asked about his previous schooling, he sat up a bit, taking another bite of his apple as he thought for a moment. "Well, I've been to a few different schools, actually. Never been homeschooled, just moved a few different places and now I'm here." He gave a shrug and a grin, taking another bite of his apple, "What about you?" She chuckled now, watching him get offensive. He was joking around, Valentina was sure of it. It was pretty obvious the boy was not that young. He looked like a teenager, most certainly possibly even older than his actual age. He had a mature face, something that others had said to her if she was honest. Mature looking, something that Valentina prided herself on. She often was told she looked older than what she was, sometimes she even got told she acted mature too. It was a lovely feeling, the feeling receiving a compliment gave you. "Kidding,"She said a tiny, itty bitty small giggle at the end. "You defiantly don't look 12, I'd say you're actually even older than what you are in all honesty..."She shrugged as she spoke. Just the truth there. Valentina saw his eyebrows raise up and she did the same, "What are the odds, eh?"
Where did he get that apple? That boy just randomly pulled out an apple. It was time for her to be confused now, pulling a face and shaking her head. Strange boy with a strange name, it seemed. Heh. At least his name fit him, did it not? "Well, I'd sure hope you are cause I assure you I'm being pretty friendly to you!"More friendly than she was on average days and even she could admit it. Perhaps because she was determined to meet new people and make friends. At least he admitted it. The brunette smiled in triumph, knowing she was indeed right. Her eyes fell on the apple, watching him nearly drop it. "Do you ever stop moving?"She questioned without even really thinking. It seemed like the boy was constantly in motion. She rolled her eyes at her remark, letting out a tiny snort. "Alright, we're even, happy there, Corny?" She hoped he didn't mind being called that, heh.
Few different schools? "Hmm,"her forehead crinkled up. "Impressive."And she sounded impressed in her tone. The thought of going to a lot of schools was a foreign idea for her, actually the idea of going to a school was strange considering she had been home schooled. He moved a lot too it seemed. "Where've you lived if you don't mind me asking?"She was curious. "Oh, I...homeschooled."She nodded, looking back down at her shoes once again.
