"Taylor..." Damon sighed and gave her that look that knew it wasn't the truth, "Please?"

Tay pushed away and looked like she was about to cry. She tried to get out of the compartment but the door wasnt budging for some odd reason.

"Taylor," Damon looked at her and sighed when the door wouldn't budge for her. He stood and opened it for her, looking at her rather hurt that she was wanting to run away instead of just telling him what was wrong, but backed away to let her leave if she wanted to. He wasn't going to force her to stay and talk to him.

Why was he staring at her? Was he an Occlumens and knew that she was mentally hanging him on walls? DID HE KNOW?

Genevieve blinked at him, long and slow, just to indicate that she would NOT be playing the 'who blinks last' game with him. He couldn't draw her in. She was not drawn. Nope.

As for his other question, that simply earned him a shake of her ponytail. "I didn't know I had to report all my movements to you. You should have seen me receive my Hogwarts letter when you were creeping around in the bushes outside my house." Since he was her Creeper, after all. "I'm not going back to France this year."

Simple as.

She muse, staring out the window for a minute before looking up into his big blue eyes. "So does the same rule apply if I were to take a plank and beat the thing unconscious?" The question was as innocent as any other she might have asked and she looked up at him with innocent eyes, remembering the time she and Felix took apart a hawk that had flown in to have him for lunch. Bloody thing deserved it for trying to make off with her kneazle.

She giggled abit when he mumbled that he didn't very much like the name grouchy girl gave him. It did kinda sound like a girl's name; so Vickers it was. Nod.

But aww he was leaving...until he stopped to question Genevieve. His question made her eyes go wide as she looked over at her. "So wait...you're not originally a Hogwarts student?????" Though that might have explained why she didn't act like the other older students....might have explained why she had a brain. This is was quite a shock to the 11 year old.

"I'm not. This is my first year," Genevieve took in the girl's wide eyed expression. Was that an issue? They didn't like French speakers? "Well, my first at Hogwarts, although I'm a seventh year."

So that only gave her one year to make her mark, in theory. It couldn't be that challenging, once she figured out exactly what sort of mark she wanted to make. Definitely not 'the former Headmistress's daughter'.

"And I don't think we should hurt Dolly... I just don't want to be reacquainted with her unless I'm wearing a hat."

"That's something we have in common." Abby smirked. She never gave up either. She always got what she wanted and if she didn't.. well, she just kept on trying anyway. Admittedly, it was nice to meet people like her. "I hope you come up with a better nickname for me though."

Prefer it if she called him Vickers? Yeah, right. "How about Vicks? Now, that's a pretty good nickname." Even if she said so herself. Besides, she liked giving people nicknames. It was fun, really. "Or.. how about kicks?" That was a ridiculous name, honestly but if he liked it.. Heh.

And.. he still wasn't leaving. Sigh. Wait a minute.. Did the boy just say Beauxbaton? Genie was from Beauxbaton? Oh, wow. That was impressive. She'd heard that it was one of the best schools around. Like Hogwarts.

"I fear for Hogwarts with both of us there," Genevieve smirked back as she unfolded herself from her corner of the car. She gestured to the seat the girl had vacated, inviting Hasty to sit back down.

"Your nickname is bad? You're the one under the misapprehension that I live in a bottle and like to wear midriff bearing clothing as I grant wishes." She did none of those things. Although granting wishes would be cool. "My family calls me Vivi."

"I've heard a lot of people screaming about how happy they are to be going back," he explained. It said good things about Hogwarts, since back in public school all of his friends had dreaded the end of summer vacation. "You just are more like... chill. About going back."

Garrett examined the Prefect's badge that the girl wore, impressed in typical younger-child fashion. A badge meant that its wearer was distinguished in some way, and a Prefect's badge clearly meant that she knew magic and the school like the back of her hand. All he needed was proof of her prowess and hero worship would ensue. It was too bad she wasn't a boy, though he supposed they must have boy prefects at Hogwarts too.

"I'm Garrett Kendrick." Seeing the look she was giving him, he resisted the urge to squirm in his shoes. That was a pinning, potentially withering look, that was. After a few seconds of her scrutiny he suggested, "Slytherin?"

Seemed a safe answer.

Tay dropped to her knees and cried, seeing the hurt on his face. "I... I... I..." Her body shook as she wept.

Damon knelt beside her, laying a hand on her shoulder, "Hey, hey, hey..." He looked at her, worry showing, "It'll be alright, Taylor... I promise."

Taylor looked up at him, "I..." She frowned and looked away.

"You what?" He looked at her concern growing as he pulled her into a light hug, "You can tell me."

"I am just worried..." She looked at him, "I have a bad feeling..."

"About this school year?" Damon wiped away the tears that had fallen, "Why do you?"

Seven...oh man. Elliot crinkled her nose. "Mine isn't even a year old yet..." but HEY! "My sister Sam is seven almost eight! So...they're going to be the same year at Hogwarts!" she exclaimed, somewhat excited for her sister. "She's just like me..." which meant she was EXTRA COOL.

Heehee.

Elliot smirked. "You seem to have mastered that skill already, though, Lottie.." Elliot was definitely reminded remarkably of herself. She then looked back at the little puffball.

"Can I pet him now?" she eyed him, wanting longingly to pet his little face off. Elliot could appreciate a cute little animal.

Tay shook her head, "About..." She looked away, "Us..." Taylor frowned.

Damon's face turned to surprise, "Us?... What about us and why on earth are you worried about it? I love you... I thought I'd proven that..." He looked down at the necklace he'd given her.

Dylan nodded as Ronnie spoke.. he couldnt agree more "Yeah Leo was crazy on the platform too.. which is why we were up a train and got punished for it" he looked down at him "And why he is stuck in the carrier for the rest of the journey!"

Leo growled a little in fustration Not my fault that owl looked tasty! I wasn't the only one that went after it!

He then looked at Ronnie as she explained why she was late to the station "Why? maybe he didnt want to come to Hogwarts or something.. does he like being at Hogwarts?" he questioned.. wondering if cats or other pets looked forward to going to Hogwarts as much as their owners did.



Dylan looked up as a girl spoke to him "Yeah sure no worries.. you can sit here" he said as he scooted away to make space for the girl. What was it with these cats?! they just couldnt seem to sit still! "I know how that feels.. mine just climbed this train.. I went after it.. and I got punished for it along with two of my friends.. had to hand out some stupid flyers! Glad thats over and done with" he said fustrated still at being punished for getting their pets off the top of the train engine.

He looked at her and nodded "Yeah my first.. Dylan Jacobs.. first year.. but you can call me DJ.. or Dylan is good too" yeah he preferred DJ but he knew others preferred to call him his full name. "I am guessing this isnt your first ride here" well that was obvious.. she was much older than he was.. but anything to make conversation rather than sitting in silence.



OOC: Next post is for Bazinga

Dylan entered the car and sat down.. he had explored the train enough and decided that he would want to sit down.. and just watch the scenery go by as long as he didnt get the sickness again. He wondered how far they were from Hogwarts now.. he just wanted to get there already and get sorted.. at least that way he would know who else would be in his house.

He hoped that those two older girls would not be in his house or he would not hear the end of his train climbing adventure.. AND their eyes would be on him constantly to make sure that he was not taking anymore adventures. Man that way his adventures would not happen.. well maybe he should keep the adventures and fun to a minimum so that they would think that he had changed when in fact he was just getting warmed up for the bigger stuff.

Alexa was bored and decided to twirl around the corridors. She was spinning not paying attention when she tripped and fell into a compartment right onto someone then to the floor. She looked up to see a younger boy looking at her. "I am so sorry, are you okay?" she jumped to her feet and tripped falling on her bottom again. She began to giggle and closed her eyes to try and stop feeling dizzy from all the spinning. When she opened her eyes again she laughed towards the boy. "This is what I get for spinning in such a small space."

Dylan was watching the trees and bushes and all other green thing speed past the window that he was sitting NEAR... not next to it but NEAR it. When suddenly someone fell right onto him.. what was it with people and crashing into him.. ok so this was only the second time that it had happened.. but still.. he hoped that this wouldn't be the only way of meeting people. There was the way of the handshake or even a simple hello. He was about to get up when the girl fell again.. man this girl could not stay on her feet could she? well maybe it was best if they stayed on the floor in that case.

He saw her open her eyes and laugh.. so at least she wasnt hurt.. though he wouldnt care much since he didnt know the girl "Yeah I guess you do get.. tripping over, crashing into me and falling onto the floor.. only natural I guess" well thats the way it seemed to him anyways. "Its a good thing you werent doing anything else and just spinning.. could have been alot worse" still he didnt care.. mm he had just realised that this may be another first year.. he hadnt met many of those and it would be good to know some his age.. rather than all the seventh and fifth year students he was meeting since he met Alexa and Ariella at the candy shop and on the platform.

Tay's mood worsen as he said that.

Alexa stopped laughing, the boy seemed annoyed with her. Well she didn't have to take that. She stood up, "sorry again, I'm Alexa by the way. " She figured she could at least give her name since she bothered him. She knew she wasn't a first year in numbers, but it was her first year at Hogwarts so she felt like a first year at least. "Are you excited to be going to school?" she was guessing he was a first year, he looked young enough, but maybe she was wrong.

"Please love... if I don't know why your worried about us, I can't help you..." Damon looked at her, worry showing. He knew he worried about what would happen in two more years... but Taylor wasn't the one who thought about the future... so he didn't figure that's what was bothering her.

"I just feel like something is going to happen after you graduate..." She sighed, obviously upset at him for being irrating.

Damon looked at her and backed away somewhat, getting that she didn't want him around her at the moment, "Nothing will happen after I graduate Taylor... and I thought we agreed we'd cross that bridge when we came to it?"

He watched as she stopped laughing and stood up introducing herself.. ah so she could stand. Ok so maybe he had been a bit rough on the girl.. he only wanted to get off this train already and get sorted and try out all those great spells.. what was a wand if he couldnt use it?! just some stick in his hand! He wondered what sort of spells they would be learning.. he hoped some cool ones that he could have fun with.

He stood up and introduced himself too "Ah.. its ok.. Alexa." another Alexa? well if they were in different houses then it would be good or it could get confusing calling out Alexa in the common room and two turn to look at you. "I'm Dylan Jacobs.. but you can call me DJ.. or Dylan.. whichever you prefer" though he preferred DJ of course.. much.. much cooler than Dylan.. but he knew that people had a choice.. unless you were Ronnie in which case you would call him Dill Pickles.. or Ariella.. who preferred the Music Man.. yeah.. yeah muggle music guy known as DJ. Ok so it was fun to have those.. yeah he didnt mind being called anything else.. funny and fun.

Dylan's face lit up a little as she asked if he was excited "Yeah! I am! I am completely excited.. I just cannot wait to get there and wave my wand about and stuff. I have been waiting ever since I got my letter and now I am so close" he said a little excitedly as he looked out the window to see more green stuff.. not there yet.. Drat!! "You first year?" he asked though she looked a little older.. but you could never tell with girls.. they sometimes looked a little older than they were.

Tay sighed and gave him a look. She got up and went to a bench, looking out. Taylor wanted to be held and close to Damon but Damon doesnt seem to understand her right now.

Damon followed her and lightly took her hand in his not wanting to say anything that would upset her.
