Oh Em Gee! The Superman guy was actually laughing with her. He was crazy! But she couldn't help herself on laughing so hard. And then, when Erin started to stare at him, felt so awkward, yeah, she knew that face when someone stares at you and you feel like, you're super duper cute and the feels so proud of your good looks, but then, they just find you weird.

Tending to her melting ice cream, Erin glared at the guy. Couldn't he saved the talk about his owl for later? Her ice cream was slowly falling and she could never taste the awesome banana flavored one with mango and cheese, and he was not even slightly concerned? "Oh no!" the ice cream was all over her hand. "Do you have a hanky?" Erin asked instead.

Right, her ice cream. Aaron flashed her a grin as she glared at him. But that ice cream did look yummy. Hanky? What, was he five?
He searched through his pockets, but found nothing. So instead he just handed her a tie from the top of his trunk. All nice and yellow.
'Nice... ice cream?' She hadn't exactly talked a lot.

But maybe she was just quiet or something. Aaron could do the talking.
'Did you know that you can't lick your elbow?'
Wait.. no, she wouldn't care about that. 'What year are you in?'
He smiled to himself, surely she wouldn't be all frowny over such a question. Just trying to diffuse the tension..

Oh! A tie? It was yellow! That made her day, a little bit. Yellow was Erin's second favorite color... next to pink. And that gesture of Aaron made her a little comfortable and interested in meeting him. She started to rub her hands and her wrists from the ice cream. Eeeek! It was so sticky. "I love ice creams. Well, next to chocolates," said Erin not looking up, still cleaning her hands. She was glad she knew how to push the right button on her.

And then, he mentioned a weird statement...AGAIN. He was really crazy. Then came the question about her house. Haha! She smiled after hearing that but she really wanna go onto the rumor part of their conversation. "On that note, I can't clean my elbows. Wanna do it for me?" she asked giving him the tie, which feels so yucky this time. "And by the way, I am from Ravenclaw." She was proud.

Maxwell walked into the train station with his mother, his grandfather was still at the car helping Jordan get his things. "I love you, mum. I'll write every chance i get." He gave his mother a hug and pushed his cart toward the Ariana. "Where are your Parents?" Maxwell asked hoping not to get a snappy response but know Ariana he felt there was probably one coming.

"I could say that I apparated here, however Raven decided to drop me off for some reason. I think she just wanted the chance to explain how seventh year should go. Though I was hardly paying attention anyway." Matt merely chuckled after he spoke because it seemed like no matter what, his cousin wanted the chance to tell him how things should go and if he had been doing anything wrong; which according to her was most of the time but that was fine. It was true that things were usually supposed to go one way when the term came but since it was Hogwarts and all, it became practically impossible to predict what would actually happen. All he knew though was that at least he had had Stella around and that wasn't going to change. Hopefully not at least. "Of course I was, not that I don't like talking to my friends or anything; I'd just much rather come and spend some time with my girlfriend." He smiled slightly and set the cage for his owl down on the ground at least for the moment; something about this whole thing was bittersweet although he wasn't going to be thinking about what was coming after this. No, not after they had talked about over the summer since there were a few concerns lying about but for the most part he just seemed to take his mind away from that to focus on the term.

As the baby elf had come up from the end of term feast the previous term, he nodded for a second before wandering off into his thoughts; it seemed his ideas about the whole Ministry people taking over the school last year had been rather amusing to say the least. Even he could admit now that it sounded a bit crazy. "Well you never know. I mean, it's possible that it could be found wandering around the school. But I don't think it's going to be a major fiasco again, the one thing to remember about Hogwarts is the fact that there's always something different every term. At least that's what I found the past few terms that I've been there." That was what made things interesting though. "I am too, but you do know there will be a repeat of the house point totals this year." Obviously he had to mention that since he was a Slytherin after all and he did want to see another threepeat or trivecta, whatever it was called for the house. As soon as he finished speaking and had noticed that she was greeting his owl, he turned his head back to look at the cage and noticed that Gidget was basically squawking right back. "She only seems to get along with certain people now, I mean it looks like you're the only one outside my family that she likes which is quite interesting." Interesting indeed.

EEEEEEEeeeeeep!!!!

Kings Cross! LuLu couldn't wait a! Not even a minute she was so phased about the idea of 'Going back to Hogwarts' In third year weeee! Time to stop wearing her sunglasses and t-shirts though back to the same dull and boring uniform they should really think about changing it!

Where was Pres she looked around and sighed she hated that this happend like every year! Okay only two years in a row but it still counted! she looked around even though she wasn't quite sure if she was actully looking for Pres or that she was just looking around! She pushed her trolley on and stopping and looking around every few seconds! The noise of Snowy's cage rattling off the trolley was horrific! she had to hold onto it and then Juni's cage started she felt like just throwing them away but! She was stopping anyways!

'Chocolates? EVEN BETTER!' Aaron nodded and searched through his pockets, where he found an unopened Curly Wurly. 'These-' he pointed at the package, 'are DELISH!' Aaron chucked it onto her trolley, he had a whole supply of them in his trunk.

Aaron cleaned her elbows without a question, frowning in concentration as he checked to see whether he had cleaned ALL the ice cream off. 'Sorry about your ice cream... but you know, they melt.' He said in an attempt to show sympathy.
'A birdy....' Aaron didn't think he knew a lot of Ravvies. But he probably should, right? 'Me, I'm a badger.' He gave her the thumbs up.

Ariana looked up at max. "i didnt want them comming okay!" she said snapping at him. once she came home from visiting with max & jordan she didnt have a very good summer & she wouldnt mind to not see or hear from her parents all year.

Salima walked into kings cross station pulling her trunk. She walked towards the trolleys over in the far corner of the station and heaved her trunk onto the trolley once she had reached them. Salima started walking over to the platforms and stopped under a sign that said 'Platforms 8,9 & 10' then carried on to platform 9 and, once again, stopped at the third barrier. Salima was used to this. All she had to do was run straight at the barrier and hopefully end up at platform 9 3/4. She looked around to see if there were any muggles looking... Unfortunatley there was one person eyeing here suspiciously. She gave him a nevous yet friendly smile and he turned away slowly as if she was some sort of freak. Salima turned around then back a few moments later to make sure that there was no one else around... The old man was staring again. This was starting to irratate Salima because she really wanted to get to platform 9 3/4. Once again the man turned around, Salima thought it would be bestif she would keep watch to see if the man was looking and run at the barrier. Slowly she started jogging then burst out into a run but suddenly bumped into something... She looked forward to see that she was halfway between the barrier!
'OUCH' she heard someone say on the other side of the barrier. Salima quickly turned back to see if the man was still looking. Unfortunatley he was, with his mouth wide open and rubed his eyes. Salima was panicing she didn't know what to do she had the erge to take out her wand and use the memory charm... But she had never broken rules before she didn't know what to do. She had to do something she couldnt expose the wizarding world. Salima was just about to take her wand out of her pocket when all of the suddend she started moving more into the barrier. 'What do you think you are doing?' said a low voice.
'Uhhh...well-'
'Don't you think a muggle could have seen you?' Said a man wearing wizarding robes 'well'
'Well I wasn't... but thank you' Salima replied walking over to the train with here trolley, still thinking about the old man that saw her. What if he told people what he saw?

Finally! She spotted her best friend and made her way over to the girl. It was obvious, in the way Presley was dressed, that she was still very much hanging on to the idea of summer. She pulled the two trolley's loaded down with her seven trunks over to Luna. Letting them go, she ran the last few steps to Luna and gave her a giant hug. "Luna!" she shrieked. "Oh my Merlin, I have so much to tell you!" she said excitedly. It had been only a couple of days since they had last seen each other, but still, so much had happened, and most of it was good.

She glanced over her friends attire, "You look really cute, by the way." And she did, except for those horrid shoes. But, Presley was kind of a shoe snob. Just a little. "Are you so excited?? We're third years Lu!" and it was Presley's thirteenth birthday, which helped her mood out a ton. The only downside of today had been her father not accompaning her to the station. Even Darius Morganzo had come with his daughter, Elliot, who Presley had just left moments before. But Leo had come, and that made up for it.

Presley was so happy, she just couldn't stop babbling. "We get to start new subject, and ohmygod Luna, I'm just so excited you're here with me instead of some random other school!" that really must have been it. Presley had been so anxious about Luna not going to the same school as her, that it was such a fabulous relief that she was going.

Oh my Merlin! Was he for real? He was giving Erin chocolates and the black-haired couldn't resist it, anything sweets. Was he a second year gift from heaven? Haha. He did give a pack of Curly Wurly, not a single show of hesitation. "You like chocolates too?" exclaimed Erin. "I could live forever with only sweets." He may also be a sweet person. She reached for her trolley where Aaron threw the package and stated on it quickly. He was right, it was DELISH! "'choo are right. Ish delish!" said Erin with so much sweets inside her mouth.

"Oh, thanks Super Aaron!" she giggled. Since, he was acting ike a superhero from earlier, might as well call her Super Aaron. "I am Erin, by the way."

A birdy? That was offending huh? "I am no birdy!" she half-shouted. "We are called Eagles. We are birds but no one calls us birdies." Eeeeeeek! That word! He's a what? A badger. Erin remembered all the not-so-good things she'd said about them and she'll never say it in front of a real Badger.

Maxwell while expecting an outburst was still caught off guard and flinched when Ariana snapped. "I'm sorry, I didn't know it was a sore subject. You didn't mention any problems in your letters...unless that ruddy bird of yours ate that part of the letters."

LuLu put down her glasses in a diva fashion it was fun doing that with Pres ''PRES,'' she beamed and ran over to her! She smiled ''Not as cute as your's!!!,'' it was really cute she wasn't just saying it! But she wouldn't have said it if it wasn't Presley's birthday ''HAPPY BIRTHDAY!,'' she hugged her tightly and handed her a neatly rapped parcel

''Well yeah!,'' she wasn't going to some snobby posh school that taught blagh blagh blagh.... She didn't read the booklet she was told she was going! Too bad grandma was home when she asked! She smirked and felt like giggling but Pres would think it was about her or somthing... ''Third years!,'' she nodded ''Me too,''

She looked around! Parents everywhere it just embarresed her to tell the truth she'd say goodbye at home or in the car not then it was just... embaressing! ''So.. where's Leo? Did come this time?,'' she smiled

thats it nicki thourght and she ran back out the entrance

At mention of Matt's cousin, Stella couldn't help but raise an eyebrow questioningly. It seemed like Raven was physically incapable of accepting that Matt was his own person, and could make his own decisions, and that just always made her curious. That and the fact that it had only been recently that the older girl had decided to even accept that she was around, but that wasn't really important. "You would think she'd figure that out at some point," she mused aloud, giving him a smile afterward to show that it hadn't necessarily been intended as anything other than a comment on his own. She wasn't going to say anything about Raven, not when she'd basically promised to herself that it wasn't worth risking her relationship. Matt might say he didn't believe anything his cousin said, but his cousin was still family. Plus, he'd distracted her with the confession that he'd been looking for her, and she grinned again. "Thank you. Even though I don't want to keep you from your friends, you know I love spending time with you, too," she replied. That had even more meaning now that she'd met more of his friends, hopefully added to her own list. She still wasn't looking forward to the future, but she wasn't going to make things worse.

The topic of the baby elf was definitely a good distraction from the distressing thoughts, and she laughed as he'd responded after another moment of silence. "Even if it's still wandering, Headmaster Tate knows about it now. I don't think he's going to let it wreak havoc," she said, somewhat agreeing with him. Especially the idea that there was going to be some other sort of craziness going on at Hogwarts this year. She only hoped that it didn't wait til the end of term to get explained, this time around. Not getting buried by tapestries or who knew what sounded like a good idea right about now. As did continuing the little game they had of house points. "You do know you're talking to one of the top points earners last term, right?," she said mischievously, "I'm not going to make things easy for you." It seemed like Gidget agreed with her, too, and she gave the owl another grin before turning back to Matt as he spoke again. "Why is it interesting?," she asked. "I think Gidget and I just understand each other." Respect was everything, with animals at least.

Minerva stepped out in the public square. Her walk took her off the platform and outside. She needed some air. She walked around letting the sun fall on her. Her mind was racing of everything that had been going on and of the school year ahead. She could run.. No one had followed her out. She could go and not come back. She looked at the building she just came out of if she turned and walked away no one would be the wiser. Minerva turned and headed down the street. Half way down the street she froze after all they have done for her could she really do that to them. Tears started falling down her face she knew she couldn't leave. She walked back to the front of the building and sat down on a bench near the door..

Harvey walked out of the building and his heart skipped beats.. he couldnt see her.. where was she? she didnt come back inside that was for sure.. he would have seen her.. He was scared.. had she run away? he thought that she was happy.. he was about to scream her name and cry when he looked around to see her sitting on a bench.. he breathed with relief.. he went upto her.. "Oh thank god.. I thought that maybe you had run away.. but I am glad to see that you are sitting here... good.. its good to get some fresh air.." he said to Minnie... not quite sitting down yet.. he hadnt noticed yet that she had been crying.

Minerva looked up at him tears streaming down her face. "I tried, I got half way down the street when I just couldn't do it. So I have been sitting her trying to clear my head." She crossed her arms looking down at the ground. She was horrible at hiding, horrible at keeping her friends safe and happy, and now she was horrible at running away.

Harvey looked at the street around him with a smile on his face and then he looked at Minnie when she spoke to him and that smile disappeared and was replaced with concern... he rushed to her side sitting next to her... and quickly without thinking he got out a hanky and started to wipe her face "Y..you t..tried?! Oh Mins!" he said still wiping her face he then put an arm around her.. not giving her a full hug just yet.. and he held her close to him..

Minerva put her head on his shoulder. Still sniffling from crying. "I'm sorry.. I stopped I'm here. I couldn't leave you any of you. After all you have done for me." She looked up at him took her hand to his face and pulled him to her.

Harvey felt her put her head on her shoulder.. a little calmer now.. "Its ok... you are still here.." he said as she looked at him and pulled him towards her.. and before he could stop himself he was kissing her.. after a bit he pulled away and smiled at her.. "You are still Minnie.. caring about others.." he said to her beaming..

Harvey kissed her she put his arms around him. Once he pulled away she kept him in the hug. "I wouldn't say I'm the same. The old Minnie would have hexed Edward the first time she saw him. Not run the other way.I would have not stopped once I decided to leave, I would have just left. I'm to afraid to do anything."

Harvey listened to her as she hugged him "Its ok... the old Minnie cared about her friends... boyfriend... and so do you... so in a way you are still the same... just a little more... unsure.." he said looking for the right word to describe how she was feeling.. he smiled at her.. still holding her..

Minerva looked at him and smiled he was trying to so hard to make her feel better. 'Is this the way it's going to be all year? I never was a crier and that's all I do anymore."

Harvey smiled and listened as she asked her next question,, he thought about her question and what she had been like so far "Look... Mins.. you have been through alot! so all this is understandable.. as for whether it will be like this all year.. as long as I am.. here.... your friends are here.. you should be fine... but even if you arent.. we are not going to wonder why you arent happy.." he said to her... giving her a smile.. he will make her feel better.. that was what he was good at.. all his friends knew that..
