Okay so what was going on? Enya didn't have a clue, one second all the second years stalked off and then they were back shouting at her. She said nothing to them just stared, didn't they know to just leave her alone? She did not have the patience for this, she had already lost her temper and harmed one of them already. Sigh. As she looked down at them she folded her arms across her chest tightly and leant on one leg.

"Do you mind....leaving?" She asked as politely as she could without sneering or anything similar. She once again made a shooing motion with her hand as she spoke and looked pointedly away from them. She instead looked over at Erin and raised her eyebrows. How could she deal with this children?

Then Erin was addressing her, and asking, ASKING, if she could still be friends with the children. Um, why ask her? She didn't care just as long as she didn't have to look at them. Shrugging, "Yeah whatever just as long as I don't have to look at their ugly faces" She didn't look towards the other people again but instead sat back down on the bench and started to inspect her perfect nails.

Jezz turned from Logan and smiled at the girl who introduced herself as Laura. "Hi, I'm Jezz." No need to go into the Jezzabelle story all the time.

Nate knocks on the compartment door and assks "May I sit with you?"

Jezz looked at the boy who had approached her, "Umm...yeah I'm not sitting. I'm standing." She smiled at him, "I'm Jezz. You are?"

Nate feels embarrassed about that but anyways. "I'm Nate it's nice to meet you Jezz."

”Well, I promise not to put too much baking powder into anything if you promise to clean your cauldron in potions.” For his own safety – Professor Lafay did not take kindly to messy potioneers. ”Hmm, I have a salamander... but all the snakes belong to my dad and my uncle.” Aurora said, shrugging. Snakes were cool... but bright red Salamanders were cooler. Salvatore had stayed at home this term though – he didn’t get along with Sebastian at all... Aurora grinned, ”Well, maybe you’ll be in Slytherin then!” she said, grinning at him – that’d be cool, more snakes to win things!

Aurora laughed, ”No, we have magical plants in it though.” As well as the mundane ones. ”We have our Herbology lessons down there.” Most of the time... they had one on the ship in her first year... and last year there had been the one up in the tower. With free hot chocolate! ”We have the house elves – but last year the Greenhouse Clean-up was a herbology lesson – with the re-potting and stuff. And you get points for helping around and stuff.” Which was always good! Aurora smiled slightly – she was probably definitely classed under the label of ‘posh kids’... ”Oh, thanks... yeah. I guess it is different. Can’t help it though – it’s a bit mixed up, I know.” Well... it wasn’t her fault her family had moved around a lot... she had picked up bits of accents from all over. English, quite a bit of Irish, some German, French, even a bit of Italian... though only on a couple of words... It was easy to pick up accents when you were musical, and hard to avoid picking them up.

Cleverer..? ”I doubt it...” she said, shrugging. Sure, she was good at potions and music... but otherwise... pretty average. And the lessons that required reading... well, she avoided it when possible – the only time you would ever find Aurora with a nose in a book was when she was trying to understand a potions recipe. ”And yeah... I kinda suck at Muggle Studies..” She was trying to get better though... so she could understand what went on in her friend’s heads. ”Freedom? It’s not like they locked me up!” Aurora chuckled. ”Like I said, I used to go out and stuff. And I had friends ‘round all the time.” Bradley seemed to think she had been imprisoned her entire childhood, it made her smile slightly – they’d clearly had completely different upbringings. Oh... was she being insensitive..? She was always pretty useless at the whole money issue thing – they had lots of it... ”Oh, well, maybe you’ll get to go someday. Florida’s too hot anyway.” She smiled weakly – it had been too hot, especially for someone who lived primarily in England and the rainiest parts of Germany...

Aurora laughed, ”Okay then, thank you very much for appreciating something that I take for granted.” She stood up and bowed ridiculously. ”Is that enough?” she teased, sitting back down again. ”Oh, well I’m pretty sure there are no words for my accent either, so we match there.” Accents were cool... her music tutor was Scottish... not that she ever took the mickey... honest... ”Oh...” She should probably know more about London... she did live there. Sometimes...

"Nice to meet you too Nate." Jezz smiled. She shifted her weight a little. Oh so many people to talk to and only so much to say. "So what year are you in?" He looked like a first year. Maybe she was lucky enough to meet more people her age.

"This is my first year here. And my dad told me that hogwarts is haunted by tons of ghosts. Also that the staircases move. But he said that there just rumors so yeh."

Tanya hugged her mother goodbye and fought the strong urge to kick her father,who was very loudly questioning how if where wizards,why can't we just fly to the school,or use pixie dust or something. Tanya finished her goodbyes quickly,afraid she was going to cry if she waited too long,and ran up the steps into the train,looking for an empty compartment.

Nate sees the girl and yells to her "Hi you want to sit with me and Jezz?"

'Hi Jezz..I'm a second year..you?,' Laura asked

'Hi I'm Laura,' she said introducing herself

Laura smiled at the girl..'Hi dear..It's my first time too..wanna join us?,' she asked with a warm smile.

Minerva yawned and looked at her friends. She was glad they were here and she hoped they were all happy. She wanted to get on the train and start their term. Minerva leaned her head against her legs again and shut her eyes.

She leaned her head back as she closed her eyes. Her body and mind were both exhausted. She leaned into Justin, snuggling into him.

Laura smiled as she gently caressed Minnie's hair..Poor Minnie!She was tired

Minnie felt someone touching her hair she opened her eyes and gave a weak smile. "I'm sorry to bring so much drama into your life when you have just come into our group. We are really good people, I promise. Just get mixed up with the wrong things at times."

Justin saw Minnie close her eyes to rest . As he did Ame leaned up against him and got comfortable as they waited to board the train. He smoothed Ame's hair as he guided her to sleep.
Just as they all settled down a gfirl he'd never met approached Minnie. He listened as Minerva responded to her and thought he should introduce himself. Without disturbing Amethyst he said, " Hi, nice to meet you. Please forgive me. I can't stand up.... I'm Justin. Justin Wellheart. " He had his normal cordial smile as he took her hand and kissed the back of it.

Amethyst stood up, unknowing to her own self and walked away from the others. Where was she going? She herself didn't know. She rubbed her eyes and decided it was best to go back outside.

Silvia turned around upon hearing someone speak right behind her. The girl was alone and looked about her age, pushing a trolley laden with a heavy trunk. Her father smiled at the girl and responded “Sure, I’d be glad to help. I’m Julius Talbot, and this is my daughter Silvia.”

“Um, hello,” Silvia said, a bit shyly. “I’m Silvia, and this is my first year at Hogwarts.”

Mr. Talbot reached for the girl’s trunk. “Is this compartment alright with you?” he asked, gesturing to the compartment whose door was just a few feet away. “Or did you want to put your things in a different compartment?”

Justin was surprised that Amethyst just got up without warning and walked away. He knew that he needed to follow her and so he did. She was headed outside and that's just wherehe wasgoing. Something was very different about her.....About them all. And it was time to find out what was bothering her.
" Ame, wait for me. "

She didn't turn around but she slowed down. She looked down and then back up ahead of her. She had her hands in her pockets, something she never did. She had no emotion really, but she felt like she wasn't need.

" Ame, you're worrying me. What is going on? You shut me out , I can't read you anymore . That's why I got beteen you and Min. Something in your eyes has changed.... Babe?!" Justin said as he pleaded with her . " I just need you ... I need you near me. I-I feel empty without you. " he confessed.

"Funny you should say that." She stood up straight. "I feel like I'm your burden." She shook her head. She put her sunglasses on, completely blocking view of her eyes. She finally turned around. "I can't read you anymore either. You have become full of rage and anger and it seems only Minerva can fix that." She kissed his cheek. No matter how she tried to be close to him, it was like it wouldn't work. She was slowly beginning to think she should just go back to that orphanage.

Leila was being dragged by her elder brothers to the platform, she was struggling to say goodbye to her parents because of them, she laughed as her mother shouted at them and enveloped her in a huge bear hug. Being the youngest, she was always left behind watching the others go on the train, her mother had tears in her eyes trying to hold on to her forever. "Bye mum, see you at Christmas," Leila said. She finished her goodbyes and was again dragged off to the train.

Her brothers smiled, and told her to find somewhere to sit, and they'd see her at Christmas, she sometimes forgot that her siblings had left school and now had jobs, they shooed her on to the train and she began to find a compartment, perferably empty. She couldn't find one until she came to one near the end, where there were two people sitting in it and one at the door, "Can I sit here?" she asked hoping that they were in the same year as herself, maybe they were, that would be good. "I'm Leila Potter-Nightingale, you can call be anything you want really," she told them, hoping that she wasn't being a little too forward.

Melanie smiled, relieved to have found someone to help. "Yes, thank you, this compartment is just fine."

As the man took her trunk, Melanie turned to the girl she had just been introduced to.

"I'm Melanie," she said, not quite sure whether to hold out her hand or something, but opting to just smile. "It's my first year at Hogwarts too. Nice to meet you, Silvia."

Melanie had always been bad at small talk, but she figured she had to try or she'd never make new friends, so she added, "Has anyone else in your family gone to Hogwarts?"

Laura laughed as she took another look at the train. "I thought the driver would know where we were going." Laura was shocked if the driver didn't know surely they would be lost forever.

Laura looked at Lana and then when someone else spoke she decided to go and stand with her mummy, she wasn't sure if Lana would want her interupting when she was trying to make a friend and she could easily see Laura so it wasn't like they were to far apart and she could talk to her sister when she had finished with the other Laura.

Lana let out a tiny giggle and shook her head. "I'm sure the conductor knows just how to get us where we need to be or else they would be out of a job, right?" If they didn't know how to get them to this Hogwarts they would forever be lost or something like that and that just would not do. She had been looking forward to today so much and she would be rather put out if they didn't make it where they needed to be.

Watching as her sister walked back to where their mother was, she turned her attention back to the other Laura and smiled. "Nice to meet you. Salem? I've never been there before." She had heard of the place but she wasn't completely sure of where it was, seeing as she had never really left the country before. "Yup, it's my first time on the train and everything." In fact it was the real first everything for her considered that she just found out that she was magical and all.

Tilting her head in thought, she shrugged. "I'm not sure. Any house would be fine, I guess. What about you? Which house would you like to be in?" She really didn't mind whichever house she was in but she just wanted in a house that suited her and such.
