She'd been WORRIED about Rich. WORRIED!

...The rational side of his brain obviously thought of the possibly that it was innocent...and that he was making something out of nothing. A girl and guy could sit together and just be friends. He knew. BUT...the Slytherin also knew his best mate...and KNEW how he was with girls. So, the rational side was being shushed at the moment.

...Huh...

Being pulled from his thoughts by a feminine voice, Dylan whirled around, spying a girl he'd never seen before. She was asking for his assistance...Did she NOT see he was DISTRAUGHT here? He wanted to be left alone with his spider. *EYES*

Quickly bringing fingers up to pinch the bridge of his nose, he slowly approached her. "Yes, yes. I suppose I should." His tone suggested that he thought otherwise, though.

She'd been eyeing his badge. Gah. Of course...

BLAST YOU, POSITION OF POWER...



Oh. Gryffindor-Wonder.

Dylan turned his attention briefly towards the Prefect before rolling his eyes dramatically. He was NOT in the mood.

"Calm down, Gilly."

"I like your thinking."



Sebastian didn't get angry often. Okay he never got angry but seeing some of these older students, wearing badges no less, just walk on by and not help out, well that made him bristle just a little.

"OI YOU!" he called out, his eyes narrowing at the arrogrant young man. "GET BACK HERE AND HELP OUT YOUR FELLOW STUDENTS." If you want the perks of wearing the badge then you need to take the responsibility that comes with it also.

And Sebastian had also noted the other Slytherin badge holder that had landed on the platform only moments earlier. He was definitely talking to the Headmistress about this.



It was a good thing Sebastian was a very patient man otherwise he might have lost it by now. "It's not going to hurt. It's just going to keep your leg still that's all." He could understand why she would be scared especially if she had never seen the muggle contraption before. "Calm down. Take a few deep breaths and relax. It won't hurt I promise you, but if you don't want to wear it then that's up to you."




He didn't blame the kid for wanting to get out of there. Sebastian was feeling the same way. "We'll head on out in a minute." When they got this fiasco sorted.

Kurumi slowly lowered Alice to the ground, giving the other girl a reassuring smile as she did so. "She is going to be just fine," Kurumi nodded before giving Walnut a quick glance and nodding her head towards the other girl who was standing there. Walnut could be mean...but he wasn't heartless.

Nodding her head a little more obviously at her cat, the feline understood this silent signal (surprise!) and waddled his stubby legged self over to the girl and began to rub up against her leg again - putting on a show that he actually cared about her concern. "I think he wants to comfort you," Kurumi said softly.

Her attention was back on the Groundskeeper when he spoke and her heart somewhat sunk. HE didn't know what to do either? Or, well, he did but didn't. "Yes, I think I can sir," she nodded as she accepted it from him and turning her attention back to Alice.


Only to see Milton scampering off in the distance... "OI!" Kurumi shouted, taking a note from Selina. "Milton, grab some students before you take off!"

He DID have a badge on after all - even if the word didn't start with a P.


Now that Alice was on the stretcher, Kurumi held the splint over her leg and was just about to slip it on her and tie it securely when Alice began to panic slightly. Offering yet another cookie, Kurumi began to talk while she worked. She needed to get this on and fast. "It's not going to hurt. You might feel a little uncomfortable at first, but this is going to help keep your leg from getting worse. They are made to keep you stable to decrease pain and prevent further injury. I've worn one loads of times," Kurumi explained, splint on her leg now and her fingers moving quickly over the ties. "Kendo injuries and mostly on my arms and wrists. You've outdone me." Lame joke, but she needed to keep Alice distracted while she tied all these ties.

Tightening the last one to hold the splint in place, Kurumi slowly removed her hand. "How does that feel?"

And then Kurumi's attention was elsewhere when one of the Hogsmeade shopkeepers arrived. What was going on? Did moderate chaos count as an answer? "We all just arrived by portkey, sir. The Hogwarts Express...broke down." Or something. Kurumi really wasn't sure what happened. Was anyone? What happened to Mr. Shifty?

At his next request, Kurumi looked back at Alice. "Alice, you are going to be fine. The Groundskeeper will look after you. I'm going to take Melanie towards the carriages now and we will see you at the feast." Kurumi's eyes somewhat bore into the young lioness in attempt to show her her sincerity.

Which was also when she offered her hand towards the other girl, the one Walnut had HOPEFULLY been distracting during all this.

While Millie kept close to Sebastian's feet trying to keep out of Pepper's way. He had the feeling that when the students arrived that he was going to end up carrying the young wombat.

He checked his watch and the train should be arriving at any moment. He lent back against the sign that he had erected while quietly pleading for Pepper to behave herself.



He was almost as excited as Pepper was.



ooc: Okies I need to head to bed. I'll be back in about six or so hours. Please have your charrie make their way over to the Groundskeeper.

Alice was saying she was fine. Was the girl unaware of the fact that she was the one sitting on the ground with a broken leg?! How could Queen Alice say she was fine?! Melanie’s eyes just widened. ”But you’re not!” she protested. And she was pretty sure someone else would back her up on this. A broken leg was definitely not fine. Ever. A person was fine when they were all completely in one piece with nothing broken or bruised. She bit her lip, watching Alice pet the cat and then winced when she heard Alice let out that cry of pain or something.

Because it sounded really painful. Melanie was just going to stand there and wait but Alice had grabbed her hand. Gripping Alice’s hand, she followed, trying to keep up and not run into anyone as Alice was being carried over to the man.

There was a stretcher and a splint. That was never good. It was like… going to the hospital or something. Didn’t the man know some spells or something that could heal Alice? But it relaxed Melanie when the elder girl said that Alice would be fine. And the cat was rubbing against her leg again. The cat was definitely calming Melanie down a lot though… It was fuzzy… in a way. Like her teddy bear buried at the bottom of her bag. Melanie winced again though, when she watched the girl put the splint on Alice.

Alice was going to be fine. Queen Alice would definitely be fine, right? Of course. It was a broken leg… broken legs healed and no one would have to carry the younger girl to the castle. Wait – what? They would see her at the feast? Wasn’t Alice coming with them? Melanie bit her lip and looked at the elder’s girl outstretched hand.

“I’ll see you at the feast, Queen Alice, be careful,” Melanie said, pulling her blanket out of her bag and covering the younger girl. “Be warm, it might get cold,” she added. Because she didn’t want Queen Alice to catch a cold AND have a broken leg. Melanie took the girl’s hand and glanced at the blonde, then looked at the cat. “Let’s go kitty,” she said to the cat.

Anyways, Mr. Man and Kurumi were both reassuring her that the splinter-thingy was gonna help, so she decided to wear it. Even if she felt awkward. "Okay.." she said uneasily, as Kurumi prepared to put the splint on her. It felt really awkward.. and it hurt a little bit.. but other than that, it was okay.. kinda. "Stable? That's good, right? Does that mean I can still go to the Feast?" She wanted to go to the feast and see all her friends and the new Headmistress Redhead.

And go to school in carriages.

But Kurumi was leaving her with the Groundskeeper. "What?! I have to ride with the firsties in boats?!" She looked at the man. "Mr. Man, is that allowed?" Why couldn't she ride in a carriage? She had the splinter-y thingy on her leg, didn't she? "But.. but.." Breaking your leg so wasn't fun. She wanted to ride in the pretty carriages. It wasn't fair. She wanted to ride with Melanie and Kurumi-Cookie. "Can I keep Walnut with me, then?" He was such a pretty handsome cat.

But she would rather ride in the carriages and be with Melanie, Kurumi, AND Walnut.
