He heard her say yes...but then he was being pulled down. "I've got Charlotte!" Making sure his little lovely didn't fall off his should, Dylan settled on the floor beside her. Really...the Slytherin couldn't believe he was here...sitting beside her...after EVERYTHING...He just shook his head. This was how it was, really.

It was were he wanted to be.

Gah, he was in trouble.

Then some dude came in...and Dylan as totally sizing him up. Standing up again carefully, he offered his hand to Bee. Obviously, he was a gentleman...

Sometimes...

When he wasn't being a complete jerk.

"I have no idea." Abby muttered. UGH. Where was Chace? She wanted him. Because, she was starting to freak out a little. Why had the train stopped? And, why had the lights flickered out? And, she was still feeling slightly dizzy. This train ride was slowly turning out to be a nightmare. "We should go find out what's going on.." But, before she could finish that sentence, some lady came bursting in. Yeah, okay. They were not going to move. But, what the heck was going on?

And.. someone else entered the compartment. Seriously? Train problem? Wasn't he going to explain what was happening?

Portkeys.. alright. She'd travelled using portkeys before. Anyway, as long as they were leaving this stupid train, she was happy. She reached for the frizbee and held it out for the others to touch it.

Eh? Charlotte? ...his tarantula? "Erm, sorry.." Totally unintended. Beezus started to smile at the sight of the spider. It seemed to have calmed her, then she hoped Matilda and Spike were safe somewhere.

Hmm. Maybe she wasn't mad at the Slytherin Captain anymore because after what happened earlier, she was smiling amidst his presence.

Then a man was suddenly around, saying he was someone from the Ministry and that they were...WHAT? going to Hogwarts with the help of the Portkeys? O______O She haven't tried using one before!

She looked at Kurumi, then to Elliot, and to the other girl with them, then to Oakey, and finally back to Dylan when the items were pressed among them.

Not even hesitating for a second, she accepted Dylan's hand when he offered it. WHY WAS SHE NOT HESITATING? Heh. Too much for that thought. "Let's go for the Frizbee?" then her other hand traveled into the plate-like thing, just as their companions extended their arms for it. As it glowed blue, she touched it.

Now they wait for something to happen, yes?

Not finding anything weird about the non-hesitance or instant-hand-grabbing, Dylan just readjusted Charlotte. Smiling at her a bit...just because, he moved his free hand to grasp the frizbee that Bee held out to him. "You're the boss." which was probably true in more ways than even the Slytherin knew. He wasn't letting go of her hand, though. Not until they landed...wherever this made them go.

It was uncomfortable traveling by means that had no clear destination. Dylan didn't give rat's what this Ministry guy said...He just wasn't comfortable with it.

So, really...he was holding her hand for selfish reasons. Yes.

Case of the nerves and what have you...

Gah, this thing looks so...eerie.

Davinci was suddenly on her feet. Gooooooood. He had followed his Mistress. Smart thinking, feline.Feeling relieved somewhat, she sighed. Meh. How was Davinci supposed to join their portkey ride? He couldn't hold unto the frizbee, can he? She needed to carry him or something, but her hands were full. ...Or was it? "Uhh, I need my hand," Beezus mumbled as she let go of Dylan's hand and heaved the cat into her arm, resting it against her body.

Where did that Ministry guy say the portkeys will bring them again? Oh, right. At the train station at Hogsmeade. Well, it was like they were still on the train then. At least the first years would still get to ride the boats. That was one of the most exciting experiences one would ever want to encounter at Hogwarts.

"Okay." Beezus responded when he said she was the boss. He wasn't going to give her a retort? Heh. Perhaps it was better if they always have a train wreckage, because he was all nice to her -- being a concerned bamboo and all?

...Speaking of concerned bamboos....

O_________o

EEEEP! Beezus involuntarily let out a small gasp, that came along with a squeal of some sort. Merlin's pants! She forgot about Rich! He was still inside the compartment.A slight expression of panic became evident on her face, "Rich..we have to get Rich..." They can't just leave him, can they?! But the frizbee was glowing more and more.

Can she still let go of the portkey for a minute, dash back to the compartment and bring the sweet guy there?!

Kurumi turned her attention away from the Headmistress who was leaving? and back to Beezus...who was looking a little confused. "I met her in the prefect compartment earlier," she whispered. Kurumi may know a lot of things, but when it came to people in the wizarding world she was usually the last to know. No easy access to the Daily Prophet over the summer and whatnot. Not to mention that she had only taken a quick glimpse at the Daily Prophet on the platform - just long enough to see that there would be visitors on the train really.

Only that didn't seem to be why Beezus was confused...maybe. "Alice," she said, peering through the dark again. "She must have taken a hard fall when the train stopped so suddenly." Kurumi's ears were still sort of ringing, but she was trying her best not to show it. That and her ankle was sort of hurting. But again, she wasn't about to show that...ever maybe.

She wasn't keen on visiting the Healer ANY time soon.

"Maybe..." Beezus' guess was as good as hers at this point. Kurumi just hoped that they heard some news soon before people really started getting uneasy.

Oh, hello there Mr. Captain...awfully concerned about Beezus aren't we? Only her eyes didn't stay on the pair...not exactly...they shifted....towards....something...on...his...shoul der....

o______________________________________O
Oh good. So there was at least one more compartment where people were alright. Kurumi was just about to turn her attention back to everyone when she saw a wand light up in the compartment. Her own fault probably for lighting one earlier. " Headmistress asked for no magic, please," Kurumi called back softly.

Not noticing the perplexed look on this girl's face, Kurumi instead continued to focus on the pair outside who were....wait...where did they go?! They had just been there a moment ago before she had turned her attention to everyone in the corridor...

"Portkeys?" Kurumi repeated, chancing a glance back at the younger girl. ".....I don't like portkeys..."

Couldn't they....walk? Or ride hippogriffs? Or winged horses....or...and Kurumi couldn't believe she was having THIS thought....brooms?

Right on cue the man from the Ministry showed up and....took one of her cookies. He could have at least asked...but Kurumi was willing to give this man a break because he didn't suggest that she go to work in the Ministry's cafeteria.

Kurumi pushed herself up off the ground for the second, or was it third?, time in the past thirty minutes or so and began to move her way towards one of the designated portkeys when she stopped for a moment. Wait... Armen Recard? That name sounded familiar...

His face she knew from seeing him at Hogwarts...but the name, well, that came from somewhere else. Rubbing the back of her neck for a moment as she took a look around to double check on everyone it hit her. "He was fired from the Ministry of Magic," she gasped softly under her breath, turning her head to look back towards the man. THIS did not sit well with the Gryffindor at all. She knew she had seen the name somewhere before. It had appeared in the Daily Prophet and everything. Kurumi never paid too much attention to it, but it had everything to do with Mr. Ikenna who, until events unfolded, Kurumi had looked up to....so everything came as a shock.

So...someone who was in with a Cult...had been fired...was on a train...that had mysteriously broken down...and was now asking them to grab on to portkeys...

The only thing that gave her any sense of comfort was that he told them where they were going. ASSUMING that that was the truth.

And then she had another thought. Walnut. Her cat. She could NOT leave him here on the train where he would pee on everything out of displeasure for being ignored and left behind. And when Kurumi said everything...she really did mean everything. Walnut could be very...VERY testy.

So, trying to push the thoughts of Mr. Shifty being shifty aside...she approached him. "Um, sir...what about our pets?" and your shifty record?

''Yeah, why not.'' the Slytherin guy said playing with the hem of his shirt. If she wanted to try to write songs with him, he supposed it could be fun. It meant spending more time with her anyway so he was fine with it. Or more than fine, actually. He could be more inspired when she was close and...it could be all better. He smiled at the idea despite of...things. Maybe he did hesitate because of what Dylan said but it did not mean he could not just...try and see.

''I decide that.'' he uttered again about her claim that she would not last long on his list of inspiration. He also felt like commenting about how long it would last but the the answer for it that just came in his mind even scared him so he did not say anything in order not to scare her away. What she said next was a nice change of topic, what he was looking for actually. ''You know what...'' with a half smirk, he eyed her. ''...actually i don't care much about what people think of me. I am who i am and i am proud with it.'' Jerk or not. Whatever they said did not matter. There were exception of course, like her, but most were out of his interest.

Then, yeah, he said something about leaving but he seriously did not mean that. ''No, it's not that. Not that i have important things to do in this train i just...''

He fell silent all in a sudden when something happened...to the train apparently. He rose up and looked outside the window. ''What's going on?'' But nothing seemed to be happening out there. Did that always happen to the train? He did not know. It was his very first time he was riding it anyway. Then he found himself back on the seat when the train came to a complete halt. Nope, that was not a good sign. He wondered if he could use his wand but what he was going to use his wand for? He had no idea. He looked at Bee with questioning eyes as if asking if she knew what was going on but she was giving him the same look too. Another sign which was not good at all.

He remained seated when she decided to go for the compartment door probably to check what's going on. Good idea. Maybe someone at the corridors would give them a clue. Yes, she was right, something was definitely wrong. He watched as she spoke to some other students, including that funny girl whom he had met at the bowling place. They all looked like they had no idea what was going on. They all seemed to be safely discussing the problem though so Rich did not think something that required any urgency was happening. They would be screaming otherwise, would not they? So he remained in the compartment. He was staring outside when the Headmistress woman's, he saw in the Prefects' Compartment, voice came to his ears. Sitting down. Fine he was still sitting so that was no problem at all. But he did not know how sitting down could help with the train. He did not want to wait there for hours.

Richard looked back at the corridor when he saw another man talking. A man who had an official look to himself. Then he saw Dylan....holding hands with Bee. He did not know how he felt about that but they were probably helping each other with the portkeys. Finally he stood up and walked to the door and to them. First, he looked around then he silently went for the frizbee Bee and Dylan had chosen. ''You did not think of leaving without me, right?'' He would not be surprised if they did though.

That wasn't the answer she wanted to hear. Didn;t older kids always know what was happening...like always?

She looked from Abby to the others then back. Everyone seemed to be sitting in some way or another. Her eyes glanced over to Felix who was making his way over to her steadily When he climbed into her lap she turned her attention to Abby once more.

"Do you think something might have attacked the train. I mean why else would they be being so cautious and telling us no magic...?" It was either that or she was over thinking again.





Then a man walked into the corridor making his way up the front of the train. She looked on curiously as he stole a girls cookie before speaking. Her eyes widened slightly in curiousity at what he had in his bag.

Portkeys...?

What were those? Well obviously a method of transportation for them to be getting them. She watch thing things glow blue in awe...she liked that shade of blue but now was not the time for that as everyone was taking them then disappearing. She watched Abby do it first just to make sure there wasn't some trick to it that she would miss then she clung tightly to Felix before grabbing one, sucking in a deep breath then also disappearing.

Damon smiled at her when she yelped he started to reach for her when the train screeched to a halt he was thrown with his baggage falling on top of him. He let out a small gasp of pain, then he heard someone saying to stay put, "Wonderful..." He tried to push the bags off of him, it wasn't working out so well. Then they said to grab a portkey, "Can anybody help me?!" Damon yelled out into the corridor.

Arabella-Marie smiled and said "My summer was good thanks Belle, how was yours?"

Kurumi met her on the Prefect's Compartment? Oh, that's why she heard rumors about "important" people being on the train with them roaming amongst her fellow Hogwarts students. Beezus liked the woman though, even if she became all dictatorial with them then and there. The situation called for it and she had every bit of authority written all over her shoes voice and mere figure. So Beezus felt like she had to respect her. She demanded respect and Beezus right now, would willingly give it to her without second thoughts.

Poor Alice, she musn't have expected to fall over and knock herself down. Then again, no one knew what was bound to happen before it occurred. "She must see the Healer soon." said Beezus. Well, obviously. That was the best choice they have. even if most students had a not-so-good experience under the Healer's hands

__________________________________________________ _______


..the frizbee she was holding was glowing more and more and more and more...

Exactly, what was happening to it? About to detonate, perhaps? Meh. She really had no idea. And she didn't want think about it any further too for right now, she was anxious as to why Richard was still inside the compartment. What was he doing? Munching on the remaining cauldron cakes? He needed to get himself out there!

You did not think of leaving without me, right? she heard someone say on her other side.

Instantly, her head moved to face whoever it was that said it. IT WAS RICH! Relief surged through her like lightning and she sighed deeply while she looked at him. Her expression relaxed, though her eyebrows were still a bit furrowed, and she smiled at him. "Thanks goodness you had the sense to get out of that compartment!" Really....what took him so long? "I was....so worried about you." Another siiiiiiiiiiigh. It was true! He had her so worried!

Then Kurumi let go of her Portkey and Beezus' eyes followed the Prefect as she scuttled towards the Ministry guy.

What about their pets? She looked down at Davinci and back to Kurumi. What was with their pets? Can't they just hold them while the Portkey ride wheels on? Because that was exactly what she was doing. Gah, what if the man will tell them to leave their pets?! Her grip on Davinci tightened. No chance. No matter how she hated him, she wasn't going to leave the feline in that stranded train!

Tay had fallen along with him when the train got into a halt. She stood up after a few minutes and started to try to levitate the bags off him.

Damon sighed, pushing one of his heavier bags to the side, "Are you alright?"

Tay nodded, "Yeah." She held her hand out so that he could get up.

Damon took her hand and stood up easily, "Could've been worse, I suppose..."

Tay nodded and glanced around, "Okay now lets find a potkey.

Damon nodded and started out grabbing hold of one of them.

Taylor grabbed ahold of one as well.

She was a Ravenclaw?

Daichi looked at the girl yet at the same time his thoughts were somewhere else. Each time he heard Ravenclaw he immediatelly thought of Indy. A small smile plastered on his face but then he shook his head. No, she was with Dylan.

With a deep sigh he leaned back in his seat. "I'm in Slytherin" he nodded, answering her question as he scratched his neck. "Fifth year so i'll be taking my o.w.ls this year.. Something i'm not quite ready fooo--aah!"
WHAT IN MERLINS BEARD HAD JUST HAPPENED?!

The Slytherin yelled in shock as his luggage fell out of the train rack and on to the floor. Luckily he had locked the thing before he send it up there and nothing had fallen out. He looked out of the window and noticed that they had stopped...why?

Standing up from his seat, Daichi opened the door of the compartment and looked outside. Immediatelly he noticed a few students plus an older looking man in the corridor. He motioned for Mika to follow though he had the feeling that she wouldn't be left alone here anyways.

"K-KURUMI!" He shouted over the others talking as he the Gryffindor Prefect there as well. "What's going on? why have we stopped?"

this was confusing him!

Nodding to Beezus, Kurumi was about to make her way towards Alice when she heard her voice SHOUTED from one of the compartments, causing her to jump with surprise. "For the love of chocolate chips Daichi," Kurumi gasped with one hand over her chest as she felt her heart pounding against it. "You scared me." You know, shouting her name so desperately and all that.

Walking towards the younger Slytherin, Kurumi put a hand on his shoulder while standing on her tip toes to do so and took a few deep breaths. "The train stopped suddenly and now the Head of the Department of Magical Transportation is here and told us all to grab hold on a portkey." She left out the bit the man being fired from the Ministry and all that. "Headmistress Truebridge was just threw here a little while ago as well...so things are under control." Hopefully. "The portkeys will take us to Hogsmeade."

And, for good measure, Kurumi handed Daichi one of her chocolate cookies.

"He's a little bit of a creeper. Sent me a picture he took of me last year in Diagon Alley," Vivi offered as soon as Vickers disappeared. He was a nice enough boy, although he was awfully bossy, with that finger pointing and all that. Lex and Hasty had been bossed too, and they only just met him!

She knew this girl was different!

So this would be her first year at Hogwarts..."I guess that explains why you still have a brain. Do me a favour; don't hang with the older kids too much and lose it." That would simply have been tragic and a terrible waste of a good personality.

"No," she offered after a long pause. Whole truth, partial truth, or no truth? She was going for partial truth. "I was born and raised right here in the UK, but my parents thought it best I not go to Hogwarts. I have a twin sister, and they wanted us to... develop our own interests." Which, in retrospect, wasn't a terrible idea, but Vivi had HATED it at the time. She'd certainly lost that closeness she'd shared with Sophia when they were younger.

What the WHAT? Vivi was lucky she was still seated, as she'd probably be seriously injured when the train jerked to a stop. Even still, she slid right off the seat and ended up in a puddle of limbs on the floor.

MERLIN.

Do. Not. Panic. Panicking was for regular people, not for future Aurors.

"Well, I think Genie is way better than Hasty." Genie WAS a cool nickname, even if she said it so herself. Hasty.. well, it just sounded silly. "I'm sticking with Genie though. I like it." Genie was just going to have to deal with being called that.

....And suddenly, the train came to a halt. Abby suddenly felt herself being thrown forward, hitting the side of her head against the window before landing on the floor. "Ouch!" She groaned, rubbing the palm of her hand against the bruise. What on earth was HAPPENING!? She finally managed to get back up on her seat although she did feel slightly dizzy. "You guys okay?" Meaning the little girl, Genie and Addy.

"Trouble is our combined middle name. I'm Trah, and you're Bull." Hehe.

It wasn't really the time for humor, but she managed the crack even as she pulled herself up and checked on the other two girls. They seemed... well. They'd all live.

"I'm fine. Just... unhappy with how often I've been on the floor today."

There was also a little girl with cookies. He smiled at her before beginning and took one, and then a bite. Thanks kid.

"Hey kids, Armen Recard Department Head Of Magical Transportation for the Ministry here. Your Headmistress summoned me to help out with the Train problem and well...we can't fix it so we will be travelling by Portkey this evening." He dropped the sack of objects onto the floor infront of him. "Don't worry, it's perfectly safe and if you are new to it, just watch what everyone else does."

The Ministry official pulled out an old ripped in half pillow, a hula hoop, a street sign, tin can, and a frizbee. "Everyone gather around one of the items here and make sure you touch it in order to be transported. We are meeting up at the Hogsmeade train station like normal. Don't leave the platform until we all arrive."

And with that the items began to glow BLUE ready to take off.

OCC: What he said guys! Go ahead and Rp your charrie touching a Portkey object and your charrie can disappear. You will soon see where you should post next.

Portkeys? For the first time, Vivi was relieved her mother was on the train. Whatever else was true, Cassandra Rae-Branxton wouldn't let anything bad happen to the kids on this train. Wouldn't let anything bad happen to her.

Not that future Aurors cared if their mother was around or whatever.

She watched Abby do it first just to make sure there wasn't some trick to it that she would miss then she clung tightly to Felix before grabbing one, sucking in a deep breath then also disappearing.

Vivi obediently put her hand on the portkey, relieved that her new friends didn't seem to be the sort to overreact.

Attacked? "It's possible, I suppose. We could go investigate, but... I think it would be a terrible idea for anyone untrained in defensive spells to do that. So we'll just all go as instructed." As in there was NO WAY that Vivi was going to let the first year currently in her presence put herself in harm's way, and since she was putting herself in charge of Lex's well-being... they were all going to go together.

"s-sorry i didn't mean to scare you" The Slytherin mumbled , feeling bad that he had scared her like that. He was about to walk towards her when he noticed that she did the same thing and felt a hand on his shoulder. Daichi smiled at her with a little giggle. Seemed like he had really scared her.

Head of Transportation? oh so that was who the man was. He had been wondering about him. "Okay..." he said slowly, still not knowing what was going on until Kurumi explained further. Taking a portkey to Hogsmeade...wait...Daichi suddenly gasped loudly probably scaring Kurumi again and went back to the compartment he had just been in. Stumbling over his feet only one time.

His luggage still lay on the ground but he picked up Mr.Duckles before finding his way back. "I can't leave him behind!" he said and pressed the duck against his chest just at the moment the Gryffindor gave him something. He eyed the thing in her hand before he snatched it away at top speed. He hadn't been a chaser in his first and second year for nothing, and began to nom on the cookie like nomnomnom~!

Oakey nodded and smiled to Beezus. "They'll all be fine," he reassured her again. Mordy will definitely be fine, Erin is no doubt okay, The three he was worried about were Ella, Sophie, and Laura too even if he was still just a little mad with her. He could see all three of them wibbling and not knowing what to do.
This worrying made him hungry so he reached over and grabbed one of Kurumi's Hogwarts cookies and began nibbling on it.

A few minutes passed of waiting when Oakey overheard a little girl, probably a first year. Say they would be traveling by portkey. "Portkey? for real, Where are they going to find the time to make Portkeys for everyone on the train." He responded quickly to the little girl.
He didn't want to do anymore crazy magical travel, not until his 7th year when he'd take the apparating class. The rumor was true though and the man whom Kurumi said she recognized came in to the train and introduced himself as A Man Record, had he heard him correctly?
Damn they really did have to travel by portkey. He eyed the bag of stuff, and sighed. How many portkeys had he used this summer then, four or five now? He reached back over to the box of Kurumi Hogwarts cookies and grabbed two more.

But there was something else in the box of cookies now...He patted at it and felt it was rather furry. He looked around and saw that Charmer had come out of his crate and hopped into the box of cookies, he even held one of the cookies in his mouth. "Charmer!" Oakey shouted spinning around snagging him out Kurumi's box! He held his cat tight in his arm, and his cat held on to his cookie. Maybe Oakey should make sure Charmer didn't ruin any of the cookies. he reached his arm back into the cookie box and nabbed two more shoving them into his mouth.
...
yep they were still good.

Yes, so this compartment was ready to go, right?

Still muching on a cookie he was about to leave when the cookie girl started giving him weird looks and then spoke up, asking what she could do with her pet. "Take 'em with you. I don't have any problem with it. I'm not exactly sure what the procedure with luggage will be so if your pets on the actual train part of the Express grab them, we won't be opening the luggage car though." He looked around at the other worried looking children hoping they had heard him too.

Yeah, that was it right?

Text Cut: Recard, Elliot, Kurumi

She eyed Kurumi. "We're fine, thanks," she mumbled...which was more than Kurumi looked.

She listened to Lottie..."PORTKEYS?!" she cried, putting her hand over her mouth..."Okay...stick close to me, then...grab your puff and your bags..." she ordered the girl, authority laced into her voice. She grabbed her own trunk..

Sucked for Lottie...because that means she wouldnt get to take the boat...which was pretty..weird and cool all at the same time.

She heard the head guy of transportation..."gah..so it was true.." About the port keys...she chose one of items, and raised her eyebrows at Lottie...poor kid.

So, wait. Elliot didn't know? It was all over the Daily Prophet this summer. How the former Headmaster had left and they were facing a new Headmistress and all. Plus, Vickers had confirmed that too, so it wasn't Lottie's imagination.

The girl simply shrugged. It really wasn't an important thing to focus on.

Yeah, portkeys. Oh? 'Stick close to me'. Lottie was definitely doing that. So, she put Mags in her preferred pocket on her bag, for safety measures, and did the same with her wand wouldn't want to lose that before arranging it on her shoulder.

HEY! You know what? THIS WAS SO EXCITING!!!

Okay. Right.

She rolled her eyes at the other girl that had asked about portkeys. What did she think Lottie said?? UGH. Honestly. And she didn't like portkeys? How was that ANY of Lottie's business?? Tough luck, anti-portkey girl.

So, "Very true," this is why you need to keep Lottie around at all times, she can be soooo useful. Anyway, she touched the same object as Elliot. Time for Hogsmeade, yeah? AND HOGWARTS.

Eventually.
