Chooooo choooo! The Hogwarts Express has arrived at last (or has it???). Either way, you're almost to Hogwarts, so get off the train and get going to the school!

First years, follow the groundskeeper to the lake. Second years and up, go for the horseless (thestral-led) carriages. Don't forget anything on the train, because you won't see it for another 9 months!

"Ouch!' Kat squealed as she landed on the ground of the Hogsmeade Platform, butt first. Man, how much she HATED Portkeys. First, they can feel themselves baited on a hook as if they were getting fed to the Giant Squid, and then they hurt themselves at the landing. NO MORE PORTKEYS. NONE AT ALL.

She stood up and dusted away the dirt on her uniform. Nasty portkeys, whoever invented these, she thought to herself. After, she went on her way to a carriage and climbed up to take a seat. The carriage moved... on its own? Oh right, thestrals. That was a tiring journey from Platform 9 and 3/4. She should really tell her family about this experience.

Mr Seb man? Oh Merlin! Sebastian couldn't help it. He burst out laughing imagining this young girl calling him across the grounds Mr Seb man. "It sounds like the title of a rap song." he chuckled.

He directed his wand at the stretcher and levitated it. "I'm going to take you to the carriages now and this young man here." he jerked his thumb in the Slytherin's direction. "Is going to accompany you." Because he was hurt too.

James shook his head. "Don't apologize for something out of your control" he said, moving his head to gesture to the chaos.

He looked at Alice in the stretcher and grinned. "Hey, Alice" he said quietly.

Kurumi sort of just waved her hand at Milton. Yeah yeah...she would get him his cookies. Kurumi didn't break promises - not on purpose at least. And, of course, breaking a promise that involved cookies was worse than breaking a dozen school rules!

So yes, Milton, you were getting your cookies ~~eventually~~.

SPOILER!!: omg we want to keep her FOREVER! <33 Elodie <33

The panic that had someone manage to leave Kurumi's face was back when she heard little Elodie speaking, no, BEGGING her to stay with her and...wait...was she sucking her thumb? Part of Kurumi felt as though this girl needed some tough love, the sort of love her mother had given her and she was now able to recognize....too late unfortunately.

However, Kurumi really was her father's daughter and that meant that her heart and everything melted at the tears and innocence of a young girl who was just feeling scared. "Shhh shhh shhh," Kurumi coed softly as she made eye contact with the second year. "You can still ride with me if you want. I'll be getting in a different carriage once I make sure everyone is on one."

So, the Gryffindor's hand was out again for her to take if she wanted. Poor thing had been through a lot today and Kurumi was going to cut her some slack.

Text Cut: Nell, Isaac and Amelia

Nell struggled to rise. "I'll jinx her into next week. Turn her stupid pink dress to puke green." She managed to struggle to her feet but swayed and stumbled back into Issac. "Oh my head." She groaned.

"Ok, at least yer coherent enough te know...wait Edmend? His eyebrows lifted even more when she'd said she didn't want chocolate because she had Edmend. OK, way more information then he'd wanted to hear...

"Nell, I don't think ye..." Oopsidaisy! Catching her as she stumbled back into him, rising quickly to his feet. He scooped her up so she wouldn't fall. Looking around he searched for that healer who should definitely be around somewhere! "Carriages then..." he muttered. Turning he was amazed at how light Nell was. Or was it really that he could handle that without a problem. Oh well, who knew. "Amelia?" he called over to her. He didn't see her immediately. Had he run that far? Well...maybe he could get Nell into a carriage then find her.

Ummm no...that wouldn't work, 'cause Nell might try and sleep! "EDMEND CLAY!" he shouted, hoping to find him. He was going to hex that guy if he didn't show up soon!

"Oh, well it's a cute kitty whatever its name is. I want a kitty," Amelia decided. Maybe she could get Isaac to get her one for Christmas or something. She'd be an amazing mother to a kitty. Ahhuh.

"Dyou think so? But I don't like the carriages either. They'd be warm right?" she questioned as Isaac let go of her and rushed off to help another girl. Why was Isaac always rushing off to other girls? It was enough to make her think she was right earlier when she joked about being a bad girlfriend. Except she knew he was just a nice guy, and apparently knew the girl. She still didn't like it though.

Amelia dropped slowly to the ground, wrapping her arms around herself. It was way too cold with Isaac gone and she began to shiver uncontrollably. She wanted to be somewhere warm now please.

Stretching her leg out she prodded at her ankle, surprised to find it hurt. And now that she thought about it the back of her head hurt too. Raising her hand to the back of her head she felt wet. Pulling her hand back she spotted blood. Maybe she had hit her head afterall?

Hopefully Isaac would come back soon. She missed him. He could stop her feeling sad and cold. He made lots of things better. She could walk to him but that would take too much effort. She didn't think she could get up again.

O___________________O

Was this how every year at Hogwarts started?! And did most of these kids not know how to use a portkey?!

Utterly confused, but mostly okay, Edmund landed skillfully on the platform and immediately set about trying to find Nell. She'd been hit pretty bad, but he'd managed to get her to a portkey and help a couple of stragglers before getting told off by the red-headed woman and forced to leave.

He whipped around when he heard his friend's raised voice. Ooops! In trouble! He weaved through the people and skidded to a stop in front of Isaac who was carrying Nell. "Oh my! Nell! Are you okay?!" He instantly started fussing over her. "She got hit by the trunks when the train stopped!" He gave Isaac a grateful look as he took her from him. "Thanks mate, sorry it took a while. Uhm, where's the girl you were with earlier?" He glanced around, trying to make sure she was okay - it seemed like they were close. "Are you hurt?" his eyes sweeped quickly over his friend to check he was okay.

And where was the healer?!

This wasn't how he'd pictured his one and only Hogwarts year starting, with ~~his girlfriend~~ Nell unwell in his arms and a bunch of injured, confused and concerned kids and adults.

natekka · 09-02-2012, 09:49 AM

Okay, so getting help was taking a lot longer that Bliss had hoped for really, so she decided that she really didn't want to wait around any long, her broken wrist was only a minor injury, surely someone back at the castle could fix it for her. It was nothing really to fuss about now. So she said her goodbyes to Elise and Glenn and made her way towards the carriages. Carriages that she could see already, pulled themselves. This place truly was magical, she thought to herself and set off walking towards the carriages.

Her head was still resting on his shoulder when he replied about how he wanted to help but then he'll end up blowing it. Quickly, Juliet's head turned to him. Her eyes widened but then a smirk was found on her lips.

Blow up???? That's not good but at the same time it sounds really hilarious, well to her. She let out a small laugh but then seeing as he looked serious about it, Juliet immediately stopped and covered her mouth with her free hand "Oh, you were serious..." she looked down as she bit her lower lip. Smooth Juliet.

Let's go to those black horses that are pulling the carriages

Black horses? Juliet cocked her head to the side as she stared at the empty carriage. Her eyes flickered as she looked at Daichi. "Uhmm, thestral..." she whispered, enough for him to hear it "You can see them" he did but she didn't. Which only meant one thing and one thing only, he saw someone died already. Intrigued by this, however, Juliet is not going to ask him though. This topic may be personal to him and completely private. So instead, Juliet just nodded her head and smiled at Daichi.

Juliet took a few steps with Daichi hoping with one leg, when all of a sudden a girl came up to Daichi and even mentioned his name. Juliet looked at the girl and then glanced back at Daichi. A girlfriend, perhaps? Daichi never really mentioned about having one... not that it has to be mentioned at a first meeting or two but--

WAIT! If this is really his girlfriend then... 0_______________________0.

Juliet then swiftly took her arm off Daichi, the one for support that is. And fixed herself as the girl introduced herself as Indy. Smiling at her Juliet waved her hand "I'm Juliet".

Daichi glanced a bemused eye at Juliet when she began to laugh. Apparently she thought that he had been joking when he said he would blow up the platform but he wasn't.

And this thought actually scared him more than anything. Since he was in his OWL year... he needed to train or else he would fail so dramatically. Maybe he would be the first person to EVER fail their OWLS ?!

Hearing her whisper the word Thestral, Daichi's eyes suddenly widened as he remembered how Kurumi had explain to him why he could see them and others not. He cleared his throat and looked down at his left hand where Mr.Duckles was. "I...can.." he simply stated but did not talk any further. It was a rather sensitive subject to be talking at this point. Besides, they needed to go to the carriages or else they would go without them. And having to drag a minor injured person was not fun.

She took a step forward, looking around for someone she recognized. Ahh! She saw Daichi. She knew Daichi! "Daichi!" She smiled, wandering over to him. Oh. She noticed that he was with someone. "Oh hi..." She mused with a smile. She didn't know this person. Maybe she wouldn't have come over. Maybe Daichi had a new friend.

"Hi. I'm Indy."

He made a few steps towards the carriages when he heard a familiar voice. He wanted to turn around but because he was still holding Juliet it was difficult. Slowly he turned and saw Indy smiling at him, seemed like she had an okay landing. That was good~ "Hi Indy... your not hurt anywhere right?" he asked just to make sure. ~~He wouldn't mind holding his arm around her hehe~~

He waited for those two to finish their introductions when Juliet suddenly got away from him. "Juliet , what are you doing? jeez!" he said in slight shock and went to her side again to give her a supportive arm. "Lets get in a carriage" he said as he motioned Indy as well with his free hand in which he was holding his plushy duck.

THUD!

She was on her feet, her hoodie had fallen off her head and her HAIR was all over her shoulders, with the abnormally short lock probably visible. Louisa took a moment to make sure the ground was stable beneath her. It wasn't really that bad, apparation was worse and she'd felt it. Maybe the empty stomach helped her body to deal well, too? Yeah, probably. But now she had more important issues at her hands than contemplating which was worse; Her hair. Louisa moved to the side, her eyes making a quick scan to the crowd around her. It was dark, thank Merlin for the darkness!, so no one should be staring at her or eying her hair... that was important. Quickly, she gathered it all into a bun and slipped it under the hoodie and re-wore her Poker face from the train. Her cats BETTER get to the castle undamaged or that Armen man was going to get a very strong worded letter from this Ravenclaw. Hmph.

Louisa saw someone leading the first years to the boats and gave a sigh of relief, the others must get to the carriages then. She never minded the carriages, never been able to see the creatures pulling them but that didn't bother her. Tonight, however, it was the darkness that really had its toll on her newborn paranoia. She swallowed, frowned slightly and started for the carriages.

TeafortheSoul · 09-02-2012, 11:07 AM

West had eventually said goodbye to his broom and the healer and looked for a manly portkey to take him to the platform. He'd settled on a button, which he clasped tightly and then he landed with a....

... a ting. A gentle ting.

He didn't LIKE portkeys but it wasn't like it was hard to use one. Looking around, West totally judged all the bad landings. What, didn't people know how to portkey with swag anymore?

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeere were his friends?

laurange · 09-02-2012, 11:21 AM

They'd wandered along long enough, even picking Glenn up into their group as they did. The search for a teacher was proving to be a little fruitless, and Elise was getting tired. Bliss had said goodbye and left them in favour of getting to the school first. Maybe that would've been a smart idea, but Elise wasn't keen on waiting too long for help.

Ignoring the throb of her awkwardly bent arm was proving difficult, so she looked around for a prefect or someone who could help. Wincing a little, she moved faster towards the carriages. Maybe they were there?

Would someone maybe help her?

Alexa had wached the girl walk away with friends and then she was left alone yet again. This was not turning out to be what she was hoping. Shrugging her shoulders she turned and walked around the platform watching the other kids from a distance. She still wasn't sure how to approach anyone and her lack of socializing was seeming to make her nervous jump seeing all these people together in one place. As she walked she didn't notice that she was coming to close to someone and BUMP she looked in front of her again and her face turned bit red, "I'm sorry.. I need to watch where I'm walking." Then she looked around and looked back at the boy, "Ummm.. maybe you could help me, where do we need to be going? I'm a little lost and confused." She was hoping he would be a nice student, she remembered on the train the older boy saying some students where not to nice.

And Kurumi began to lift up on Alice until she was holding her at a comfortable height. "You alright?" she asked, her eyes darting around when she saw two Hufflepuffs seeming to be in some distress as well.

"Bliss, Glenn," Kurumi called while Walnut wove around her feet. "Go see the Groundskeeper about that wrist!" Or, well, mostly Bliss...but Glenn could go with her for support...or if she was hurt too. Kurumi hadn't really heard the entire conversation.

And THEN the Groundskeeper was asking for Prefects to get their housemates together. Well, first things first....and that was getting Alice to him. Waddling along with the small girl tucked into her arms - sorry Elodie, we had to let go of your hand for this - Kurumi approached the Groundskeeper and glanced over her shoulder.

"Sir, I managed a simple bandage on her leg, but she thinks it is broken," Kurumi explained as she continued to hold Alice's legs a little higher in the air. Kurumi would put Alice down, but if they just needed to pick her back up again it would only increase the chance for more injury...right?

See, this was why Kurumi was NOT going to be a Healer...at least not for people.

Bliss had been just about leaving to go to the carriages when she'd heard someone call her and Glenn's names. She wondered who it was, not all that many people knew her name as of yet. She spun around and came face to face with Kurumi, the Gryffindor prefect, who was telling her that she should go and find the Groundskeeper. She smiled gratefully at the older girl and thanked her before going across the platform in search of the Groundskeeper. By the sounds of it, he would be able to heal it, OR at least help her in some way, that would be nice. Now then, what had his name been? Mr..Gibbs..Gibbers..Gibbins! "Mr Gibbins!" She called, hopefully loud enough and hopefully in his direction. Maybe she'd finally be getting some help for her broken wrist.

Oh well. Everyone was different. "I'm sure you'll be fine once the feast starts." Food was the cure for everything! And so far, it wasn't looking good because SOMEONE made him go back and help students rather than go off to the castle. SIGH.

Milton tried not to let Beezus fall when she leaned on him. Which wasn't hard, since he was all manly and stuff. Heh. "Sitting down sounds good." Oh, wait! Milton reached into his pocket and found a chocolate frog from the train. "Here. Eat this. Chocolate cures everything."

Beezus only nodded once more as the Ravenclaw Captain mentioned the seeming advantage of the Feast. She didn't really want to talk that much right now, considering how her head was still pounding and thanks to him for reminding her of the pile of food waiting for them, she was also getting REALLY hungry. Due to these too, her body appeared to have reacted to the F word and her legs were almost dragging her towards the carriages.

Hurry Captain! Food awaits!

"No, I'm fine. The carriages ain't that far anyway." No sitting dooooown! Oh, for Merlin's sake, how can he even think of sitting down when their stomachs were growling like lions?! And, eh? Choco? Beezus eyed the chocolate frog on Milton's hand before grimacing. "Errr..no, thank you.. I'm..allergic to that." And even if it was going to cure everything, she wasn't laying her hands on it.

So, can we just hurry now? Walk? Walk? Walk?

The carriages were only a few steps away.

West stumbled a little when someone collided with him and turned around to look.

"Yeah you do." West agreed. And then to be helpful, he pointed out, "You crashed into me." But he supposed it meant that he could make this girl owe him one.

Or TWO even if he helped a bit.

"Are you a FIRST year?" Because she didn't look OLDER than him at least.

Doubling back one last time before she got into one of the carriages with Elodie, Kurumi surveyed the area nearest her for anyone who wasn't in one yet or looked like they might need some help. Kurumi was no Healer...had no intention of being one unless creatures were involved...so this was so out of her element at the moment that her skin was in a state of constant goosebumps.

Seeing the Groundskeeper moving students a long and heading towards the boats (?) Kurumi ventured towards the younger Hufflepuff from earlier. "Here, let me do a quick bandage of that for you until we can get you to see the Healer," Kurumi said softly, removing her wand from her pocket. That is, if the girl would be alright with that.

Which was when she saw another student wandering...and not looking too good. Kurumi...was not going to faint...not going to faint...not going to...

Woah, the area was sort of spinning there for a moment.

Shaking her head and crossing her eyes for a few moments to refocus, Kurumi turned her gaze on the wandering Ravenclaw. "Hey, you alright?"

Elise stopped abruptly, trying not to wince as her left arm swung forward a little. Don't look. Don't look. Looking up at the voice, she seemed to relax visibly as she recognized the Gryffindor Prefect. She had a weird name.

"I don't know," she confessed. "I fell in the train and I can't really feel my fingers anymore." She didn't really bother to say that she thought it was broken. Nope. Cause that obvious unsightly bulge on her arm should have said it for her.

Don't look, Elise.

Bliss watched in dismay as the Groundskeeper walked further and further away, towards the boats. She didn't quite understand why he'd left, they were still injured, defenceless people left on the platform, left in the prefects pretty full hands. Bliss sighed and turned around ready to grab a carriage, when she spotted Kurumi coming towards her. She smiled at the older girl, who was now offering to try and bandage her wrist until she could get more help. "Oh. Sure, thank you," she exclaimed, happy that something was finally going right.

Alexa looked at him for a second. Was he being nice or was he upset that she ran into him. It was an accident Alexa thought to her self. "I am sorry for bumping into you, are you okay?" She looked at him, she didn't hit him to hard, so she hoped he was okay. She looked around nervous and began to fidget with her bag, she didn't know how to read people so this was so hard to know if he was going to be nice or not. "I..I.. well I'm a second year, but this is the first time for me at Hogwarts." she looked down feeling dumb to not know what was going on and wondered if this boy would think she was weird.

A second year? For reals?

"I am too!" A second year, that was. but new at Hogwarts? "We get to go on the carriages up to the school." He explained. "I've never been on them either but I know all about them obviously. Because I know lots of things, obviously." Because he was West Odessa.

Obviously.

"Come on, you can share a carriage with me. I GUESS. But I'm just looking for my friends first. They might have gone already though."

Alexa looked at him for a second. She had never met someone that seemed so confident before. Was this a normal Hogwarts trait to have, if it was the she was never going to fit in. Looking around the platform she was just glad someone was talking to her. "Your a second year?" this was the first second year she had met, this might be a good thing that she did bump into him. "Carriages??" Alexa's eyes grew with nerves, first a train that breaks down, then a crazy portkey, and now carriages...What will happen on the carriages so far this place was feeling more like a roller coaster then a school. "Well..if you don't mind, I wouldn't mind sharing a carriage with someone who knows what's going on." She looked around again, "What do your friends look like, maybe I can help find them. Oh I'm Alexa by the way." Did she say her name yet, Alexa couldn't remember...

sweetpinkpixie · 09-02-2012, 01:46 PM

SPOILER!!: *COMBINES!*

Not....going...to....faint...

The color was draining a little from her features. There was no blood...so that was something at least. There WAS no blood, right?! No, Kurumi really didn't want to look closely enough at the moment...

Hearing both girls, Kurumi's eyes crossed again briefly and then refocused. Right, bandages. "Okay, um...seeing as the Groundskeeper has gone to the boats...what I'll do is a very basic spell that will stabilize your injuries until you can see the Healer." She had already said this to Bliss, but the Ravenclaw hadn't heard yet so, just covering her basis.

First, Kurumi took a hold of Bliss' arm well above her injury and slowly raised it before pointing her want to it. "Ferula," she whispered, her voice shaking slightly as a splint and bandages wrapped themselves around her arm.

Attention now on the Ravenclaw, Kurumi took one look at her arm and some more of the color left her features. There was a...um...yeah...something wasn't shaped the way it was supposed to. Repeating the spell, Kurumi swallowed. "Make sure to keep your arm up, above your heart, as much as possible...and go see the Healer right away."

Because...yeah...that wasn't supposed to be sticking out the way it was....and...yeah...

Utterly confused, but mostly okay, Edmund landed skillfully on the platform and immediately set about trying to find Nell. She'd been hit pretty bad, but he'd managed to get her to a portkey and help a couple of stragglers before getting told off by the red-headed woman and forced to leave.

He whipped around when he heard his friend's raised voice. Ooops! In trouble! He weaved through the people and skidded to a stop in front of Isaac who was carrying Nell. "Oh my! Nell! Are you okay?!" He instantly started fussing over her. "She got hit by the trunks when the train stopped!" He gave Isaac a grateful look as he took her from him. "Thanks mate, sorry it took a while. Uhm, where's the girl you were with earlier?" He glanced around, trying to make sure she was okay - it seemed like they were close. "Are you hurt?" his eyes sweeped quickly over his friend to check he was okay.

And where was the healer?!

This wasn't how he'd pictured his one and only Hogwarts year starting, with ~~his girlfriend~~ Nell unwell in his arms and a bunch of injured, confused and concerned kids and adults.

Where was that blasted pink princess? If she had done anything to her Edmund she was going to kill the prissy troll. Her glazed eyes rolled around the platform searching....then he appeared out of nowhere sweeping her into his arms. "My Edmund!" Nell planted a kiss on his cheek and then swung around to Issac. "I TOLD you I'd beat the pink princess!" She frowned. "Try to take my man will she?" She mumbled her speech starting to slur.

Her head lolled over onto Ed's shoulder jarring it and she saw stars. Nell groaned managing to scramble out of Edmund's arms and over to the edge of the platform where she was promptly sick all over again. Merlin but she was sleepy! Her body felt like it weighed 100 pounds so she lowered it to the ground and cradled her head in her arm.

Maybe if she slept she'd feel better? Sleeeeppppp........

SPOILER!!: The not awesome person

"Umm excuse me, but I really am in pain. Also I'm a person, and the way you're talking to me isn't nice. As a matter a fact I'd expect better from the president's daughter. And if I WAS faking it I'd be crying, because trust me I rarely cry. I've seen my mum and da die of an unforgiveable curse, so would you really think I would cry?" Nate replied to the sassy girl. I mean just because she's the president's daughter doesn't mean she rules the school. That's the headmaster's job.

After Nate said that he said "You won't have to be dealing with me anymore." After he said that he walked over trying hard not to cry from both the pain, and the fact that someone just said that he was faking it. He walked up to an empty carriage, and threw his stuff in with his good arm. Before he got inside he pulled out a bandana, and used it to make a sling to hold his arm in place. He got onto the empty carriage, then he was off.

His eyes went back to her when he felt her kiss on his cheek. Her Edmund? He liked that! Wait, what was she talking about? A frown crossed his face which mixed with worry and created a look of deep concern. "No one tried to take me, Nell. I'm right here." She was slurring, that was bad, right?

He just stared at her shocked when she wriggled out of his arms - what, didn't she want to be there? When she vomited, he pulled a face. "Well that's one way of greeting a new school year." he muttered as he crouched down next to her and lifted her head gently. "Nell, talk to me. Keep talking to me, okay?" He knew one thing and that was not to let her sleep.

"Can I get some help?" he called out, hoping someone would look her over and make her feel better.

The color was draining a little from her features. There was no blood...so that was something at least. There WAS no blood, right?! No, Kurumi really didn't want to look closely enough at the moment...

Hearing both girls, Kurumi's eyes crossed again briefly and then refocused. Right, bandages. "Okay, um...seeing as the Groundskeeper has gone to the boats...what I'll do is a very basic spell that will stabilize your injuries until you can see the Healer." She had already said this to Bliss, but the Ravenclaw hadn't heard yet so, just covering her basis.

Because...yeah...that wasn't supposed to be sticking out the way it was....and...yeah...

Elise waved a little at Bliss before turning back to the prefect with the funny name. She didn't look too good. She looked really pale, actually. Like... paper. She looked like paper.

Wincing as the bandages wrapped themselves around her arm, Elise made a very conscious effort not to watch it. Because it hurt. And looking at things like this always made them hurt more. Elise nodded at the instructions. Okay, that she could do.

"Thank you," she smiled, grateful for the fact that she could look at her arm without wincing or cringing. Wait. Was she getting paler?

"Are you okay?" she asked suddenly.

"Nae...ye just never specified if it was something that had to be taken out of my hide. And seeing as I've promised her as boyfriend and player to captain not to get too injured if I can help it, ye would need her permission to hurt me." That should explain it, though he was kidding up to a point just keeping a straight face about it. He could pull the sarcasm card too.

"All other debts are dealt with in person."

"Never said I was taking it out in flesh, Gert. Calm down." Considering Vivi was a little bit of a thing and her occasional penchant for violence an unknown factor... she wasn't sure why he'd assume she wanted payment in pain.

Being owed a favor was so much better. "But I'll check in with Selina if you're worried. For now... why don't you help the faker, because Hasty here needs assistance as well." And she was very put out with the kid with the box and the cat.

Was it terrible that hearing this was helping his mood?

The sarcasm suggested Slytherin...If that were the case, El Capitano would make it a point to befriend her...

Hearing the word 'Bacon' made his stomach lurch nastily. Sweet Merlin, he was hungry...Not even the nausea from early had effected that.

What had she said?

A credit to his house?

*SMIRK* Dylan had obviously needed to hear that. His mood had been dismal...and now? Well, now he could at least properly PRETEND to be unaffected by things. For her efforts, the Slytherin offered her an easy smile and a wink.

Not something he gave everyone.

"So...Who are we helping? Or should we be getting to that musical number now?"

"If you feel like singing, I have to warn you... Hasty here doesn't have much patience for songsters." She indicated Abby, who had not enjoyed Addy's singing on the train. "Perhaps we can dance off into the sunset next time. Will you give me a hand getting Hasty to the carriages?"

Nothing like compliments to cheer you up.

She couldn't help but grin when she saw Genie yell at the kid for faking his injury. That was horrible, especially when there were people around who were seriously injured. Hm? Awesome? HECK, YEAH. Abby knew she was awesome and Genie was pretty awesome too. They could be the awesome duo. "Yeah. We ARE super awesome."

"I don't understand why we're sitting here. The boy is clearly not injured. We should probably just leave." Just then, the boy who'd asked Genie to take care of the little kid came back. Now, they could leave. Right?

"Of course you have pretty hair, you idiot," Vivi rolled her eyes playfully. They were awesome, if occasionally silly.

Vivi bounced to her feet and offered a hand up to the girl. Yes, she'd just made Hasty sit down, and now it was time to get up again. "Let's get to the carriages. Do you know the direction? This... Slytherin kid is going to help us."

Because he hadn't offered his name. She looked around Hasty and said, "I'm Genevieve, and this is Abby. Can you give us a hand?"

Before she could help Hasty to the carriages, she was TOLD OFF by the faker!puff. What? WHAT? First... it wasn't very often she got lip back, and it made Vivi twirl the end of her ponytail furiously and consider the myriad of ways to help the boy actually feel pain. Second, president's daughter?!?!?! How did he even KNOW that? She'd been so good about not telling a soul.

He was gone, though, and Vivi lowered her face and offered an arm to Hasty without comment.
