The lioness threw another piece of chocolate into her mouth as she moved her backpack away from her legs. This time it was the one with nuts on top which would be even more delicious than a simple piece of milk chocolate. Since the train isn't leaving the station that soon, so that means they still have time for more 'interrogation'.

"So you are a new student right, still Juliet?"she chuckled on the part of her insisting on being still Juliet. Not that she doesn't like the name, instead she loves it but sometimes it means more on the relationship when you call somebody else their nicknames, especially those that only you would call him or her that way. Tiffany would try and make one up for her though. Hehe. Anyway she must be some kind of student whom was transferred from another school to Hogwarts since the lion couldn't remember seeing her anywhere back in school in the past. "And I'm in fourth grade, Gryffindor."she added. Oh has Juliet been sorted yet? If not, then she wished she would be sorted in the lions. There were no specific reasons though. After all she was kind of house basis and maybe it would be nice having Miss Pretty with her. Dunno.

"Not the same for me. I have a big big sweet tooth,"she replied with a slight nod. That's true and she could spend people's money off if they get to buy her sweets. However chocolate is not her favourite though, marshmallow it is. "If you are not a sweet lover, then what are you into?"she asked and she would know what kind of food she should buy her for lunch or something someday if she has a chance.

Tiffany almost chocked by her words. "J-Jonathan Kim?"she asked with disbelief. That person sitting next to her was the person whom Tiffany was longing to meet after the feast last term but he never showed up? If it was really him, then why was he taking Juliet to the station? "You two are... siblings?"she continued as she chewed on the inner part of the chocolate. But she never heard it from her fake brother that he has a sister. If so then there left on more choice. Juliet, are you sure that he is not your Romeo?

Blahh! Punishment! This had to be a joke!

Sadley it wasn't, and her Ari was handing out flyers for a missing beaters bat... She was sure that herself, Dylan, and Alexa looked silly as they walked around and handed them out. With not that many people here, there weren't that many people to give them to...

"Excuse me!" Ari said as she spotted a girl sitting at one of the benches, she took a seat next to her and pulled out a flyer, shoving it in her direction, "I'm handing these out as punishment. Some girl, Selina Skylar, has lost her beaters bat, if you happen to see it just contact her..."

Dylan just listened as this older girl talked to him about not seeing the bat.. well duh.. if you had you would have returned it to its owner who would then stop him from giving out these stupid flyers and let him have fun. "I didnt say you had seen it, just letting you know its missing." when had he said that she had seen it? It was all this love business that was messing up her mind.. another reason he wasnt going to have a girlfriend "Actually its not me you come to.. the name on the flyer.. Selina something.. you tell her you found it.. I am just the flyer boy giving out these flyers for her" yup now he was the flyer boy.

He saw the eye roll as she turned back to her boyfriend "Glad you think its ridiculous, thats how I saw it." he said to the girl, finally someone who saw this for what it was. He just hoped those two other girls would not be in his house or he would be lectured and stuff "Being punished for no reason" he mumbled as he counted how many flyers he had left to give out.. maybe he could just chuck them in the air and let people catch them.. much better than walking up and down the platform looking for people who hadnt received a flyer yet

Cardigan looked to her side, from the trunk organizing, to see a younger looking girl with a stack of papers. Hmmm... She shut her trunk quickly, taking up the paper that was shoved in her face. Well I'll be... she thought, surprised that, of all the people in the Quidditch league, the Gryffindor captain lost her Bat. This was NOT a good thing. She'd have to remember all this for later, in case she stumbled upon "Mortimer". BUT, couldn't she use a summoning charm? It was THAT easy. Wouldn't Selina know that?

"What did ya do?" Cardigan asked curiously. She had only just gotten here and hadn't witnessed anything peculiar. Not yet, at least. It must've been something pretty mischievious. Something she might do. Maybe. Only if she was sure nobody was watching her. Or that it would never come back to haunt her.

Everyone involved in the mess <3
 

These kids were all really starting to annoy the bloody hell out of her. Honestly, when did kids become so ruddy rude? All of them seemed to just have the inability to watch what they were saying. They didn't seem to realize that climbing on top of trains was an extremely dangerous ordeal. The redhead had never seen first year road kill, but climbing aboard the top of a train was the quickest way to get to that end.

Then, when Kurumi said that they all would be punished, Selina visibly smirked. Heh. And then their punishment made Selina smirk even more. Their silly little adventure had distracted her from her mission to hand out her flyers and now they were going to help make the wrongs right. It would save her a little time if she had firsties doing all of her dirty work.

But before she could hand over the flyers to all of the firsties another voice interrupted her. Looking up she saw her boyfriend approaching AND a brand new face. She supposed this was not the best way to meet someone. Selina must have looked half insane with flyers up to her nose as she yelled at first years to get off the bloody train. It was not that Selina was insane, she was just eclectic.

So she nodded at her boyfriend and said, "First years were scalling the train. Chasing after their pets or something stupid like that. So we had to get them down. And now I'm handing out flyers for Mortimer," then she turned to looked at the new face, "Hello there. I'm Selina.". She reached down and handed the girl a flyer, "By the way, have you seen him?" Finding her bat was of the upmost importance.

Then the rude firsties demanded their flyers. Snapping her head around she eyed the first year and said, "I've never hit a kid before, but there is a first time for everything.". She wasn't serious, but this kid was REALLY getting on her nerves. Who did they think they were being so rude?

So she just handed them all some flyers and waved them off. "There you go then, okay?" Go hand them out my minions. Find him! Mortimer needed his Mommy.

Once that was all settled away she looked at Kurumi and said, "Thanks Rumi. I've just been worried sick."

"We may have climbed up onto the top of the train," Ari said as she recalled the events that must have happened only moments ago but felt like a life time. The girl must have just arrived on the platform because the whole thing would have been pretty hard to miss. With all the shouting that had been going on they had snagged the attention of many, "It was for a pretty heroic cause though. See, my friends' cat attacked my owl and they had gone up onto the train so we went up after..."

It really hadn't been that big of a deal. Ari just didn't want Archer to become a cat's snack...

True heroism is WHAT? Genevieve gawked at this new girl for a long moment before shaking her head to clear out her ears. Girlfriend said WHAT again?

"So we were all running around like crazy snarfles because the predatory bird was in danger of being eaten by creatures that couldn't follow it if it flew away?" See... that was one of those 'not really a drama' type things that just confused the heck out of her. Was it worth the excitement?

Still, she hated that the wannabe heroes were left feeling like doing the right thing was a bad choice. She leaned in to the flyer-hander-outerer and gave a casual wink. "True heroism is not getting caught, kid."

Once that was all settled away she looked at Kurumi and said, "Thanks Rumi. I've just been worried sick."

"Genevieve," she accepted the flyer, letting her eyes flicker briefly to the words. A bat named Mortimer? They were all crazy. Perhaps something in the water, or maybe the fumes from the train... or the Scottish winters! That was enough to drive people straight to madness, wasn't it?

"Erm... it looks like you lost the bat on Diagon Alley, which is quite a distance from here and would have an entirely different pool of suspects." Then again... students shopping on Diagon Alley, students shopping here. Genevieve could play ball with Crazy. No big deal. "Ahem. Does your bat have any distinguishing characteristics? Is there any motive to speak of?"

The nerve of some people... They had really CLIMBED up on the train?! Woah. That must've been..fun!! Cardigan definitely done it! If no one else was around, of course. She would probably fall and hit her head though. Not pretty. No one wanted to see an unconscious third year snake. It just didn't go that way. Anyways, she probably would've done the same of Flocki was the cat. Okay, okay, he was a little of the scratching type, but he was such a fun cat once you got to know him!!

"I must say, that is pretty darn cool. But, why on earth would Skylar give you a 'punishment' like that? It's not even a real one! Not saying that handing out flyers is the best thing ever though," Cardigan asked the girl, just wondering what it was like to be up on top of the train. It must've been quite scary! She'd be too scared to look down if she went up, and would probably be sweating buckets, even though it would be fun. It's a little confusing.

So you are a new student right, still Juliet?

That made Juliet laugh. She's starting to like this Tiffany girl. Juliet doesn't get a lot of jokes for most of the times (some, she gets it but there are just days when she is just too naive), which is why she likes it because it irritates some people. Juliet also doesn't like being called by a nickname or maybe the ones given to her are of pure based through her physical appearance and her behavior. Not good. Looking at Tiffany still grinning from what she just said, she nodded her head. "Hhmm... I am a new student" transferred is more like it but still, it would have meant the same.

Fourth year, Gryffindor.

The lions as some people call it. Okay, so Ravenclaws are the eagle, Huffies are the badgers, Gryffindors are the lions and Slytherins are the Snakes. Yay! At least Juliet knows the basic stuff about the houses. She's willing to catch up and learn. Yes, she is!!! "My sorting will happen when the school starts." she told her. "Everyone in the family is a Slytherin. So I'm pressured not to break such traditions" adding a giggle in the end. Her cousin just recently graduated from Slytherin too.

Juliet likes sweets but she's not entirely a sweet tooth. She can eat candies and chocolates and pastries and whatnot but there are just those days when you just get tired of eating sweet stuffs all the time. And based on studies, too much sweet makes one person perky. Which is definitely she's not aiming for. Too perky can be annoying sometimes and really irritating. "I like to eat meat" yeah, she's that kind of person "I like food that is seasoned and grilled or fried" now she wants to drool just talking about it "I like sweets but food that is freshly cooked and steaming hot is better" adding a couple of nods. Okay, now she's just hungry.

The stutter on Jonathan's name didn't go unnoticed to Juliet. She knows him. Which is sort of a good thing and a bad thing. Juliet can now be just known as Jonathan's cousin... she didn't want that. Hmmff!

She did nod as a reply to Tiffany. She got his complete name right. And siblings? They're not even close. Juliet poked her lower chin as her lips pursed to the sides. "he's my cousin"

Her smile widened as she watched the smile hung on Juliet's face. Actually Tiffany didn't really know how to make good conversations or build friendship with new people she met. She always thinks that it comes naturally whether she could become good friends with him or her afterwards. That's why she has never done that on purpose. So she was really glad that Juliet laughed. It means that she is happy being with her, right? Maybe?

Everyone in the family is a Slytherin.

Tiffany frowned slightly as she mentioned it. So that means there is less than one percent of chance or even no chance for her to be sorted in different houses since family heritage is everything. Usually you would get sorted into the houses your family members used to be in and that's the same happening to the lioness. Her father was a lion before so that's why. "Awww how I want you to be in Gryffindor,"she pouted. At first, she just wanted her to be in Gryffindor mostly just because of house basis but now it's different. She likes Juliet and that's why she wants her to be in the same house with her so she could maybe get a chance sharing the same dorm together. However it's not going to happen. "Anyway are you in fourth grade too?"she asked. If so, then she still get chances meeting her, at least in class. So please say yes.

"Meat-eater,"she replied, followed by a small chuckle as she stopped throwing any more chocolate into her mouth. She has had enough for today. If she continued with it, then she would probably get sick because of it. Putting the box into her backpack, she carried on, "They are delicious, like steak, grilled cheese..."She gave a slight nod and tried to hold back her drool a bit. After all they were more mouth-watering than sweets.

Cousin. Hmm.

"It's great having a cousin like Jonathan,"the lioness replied. "Since he is really caring, nice and brotherly."Tiffany beamed and looked into her eyes. "Lucky you,"she poked her chin as she observed her reactions. It seems like Juliet doesn't like him that much as she does but anyway it's true that she thinks it's good to be with him.

Tiffany
 

Sarah's eyes darted around for someone she knew, then she spotted Tiffany. Tiffany was envolved in a conversation with another girl, so Sarah went up to her and tapped her on the shoulder. She did not speak however as that was to be rude.

My astronaut <3 ...and anyone else? ^_^
 

Wow. This was it. Scary wasn't it?

After coming out to the other side of the wall, Renesmee paused for a moment and then hastly moved out the way of other people coming through. She was ready, or at least she thought she was. The red head took a closed her eyes, took a deep breathe and then opened them again.

PEOPLE! EVERYWHERE!

Even more than there had been at the muggle side of the station.

Taking another breath, Ness reached inside her bag for her pygmy puff and placed him gently on her shoulder. He didn't have to be very well hidden now that they were no muggles around. She then took her Captain badge and pinned it on her yellow shirt. Just in case someone needed some help, they would know to look for a badge person right? ..Hopefully, but hopefully they would rather go up to a real prefect.

Now on her third deep breathe, Nessie began walking towards the train. She was nervous yes, but she believed she could do this. No matter how hard OWLs would be or no matter how hard Quidditch would be. She was a fighter and when she wanted something she put every bit of effort she could. She could do it..she just needed to believe.

you people...in this general area...and all that stuff
 

Relieved that the first years were handing out the flyers - which freed her up to do other things - Kurumi's attention went back to her best friend who...seemed to already have moved on and was back to focusing on her missing Beater's bat. The seventh year couldn't help but laugh at this though, seeing how predictable Selina could be when it came to two things - food and Quidditch.

Both predictable and unpredictable at the same time. No telling what sort of insanity Selina would display if she didn't find him soon.

Kurumi feared for her sleep and health. Best make red velvet cookies every night just to be safe.

"Selina...no hitting..." she whispered under her breath. She simply winked at the thank you. It was just killing two birds with one stone really, and the first years were going all over the place already handing them out.

Which was when she noticed the new girl gawking at her. Why did people do that to her so often? It usually never meant a good thing. Which is why Kurumi tried to ignore the gawking for now and focused on her words instead. "Pretty much...but it's all done now...just hope nothing worse happens on the train..." At least patrolling the train corridors to keep an eye on this group could be an excuse for her not staying in the prefects' compartment because, well, Kurumi had the burnt cookie feeling she wasn't going to want to stay in there for too long.

Eyes back on Selina, Kurumi placed a hand on Selina's shoulder and patted it a few times somewhat awkwardly.

Laura looked at Ella and sighed as she continued to feel the tears coming down her cheeks. "I don't know." Laura sighed. "I think I do, but then it's not like I was when I found out I liked Oakey." Laura looked into her friends eyes. "It's different, he kissed me first and even though I could of stopped him I didn't." Laura really had no idea what to do, she was telling Oakey and hopefully he would forgive her and they could move on. "I know it better he finds out from me then from somone else, I just hope he understands I didn't mean too." Laura was trying to stop crying but was finding it hard. "I hope you right Ella." Laura gave her bestie a big hug/

Laura looked at this boy who came. "H.....hi.." Laura was still crying a bit but she was calming down, she didn't want this boy too know her private affairs. "I'm sorry but this isn't a good time at the minute." Laura took the flyer anyway. "But I'll come and find you later and you can tell me who has lost the bat." Laura gave the boy a weak smile and then turned back to Ella.

Where was that red head when Mia wanted her?

Sighing, Amelia pushed the pink stoller along as she searched the platform for one of her best friends. She had told Ness that she would see her off, but Isabel coming along was to be a surprise.

The baby was dressed up in a fancy purple dress and hat, ready to see her Godmother.

Amelia kept pushing the buggy along, every once in a while she would look down at her baby. Somehow Isabel was managing to sleep even with all this noise. Hopefully nothing would get her crying.

"Ness?" It was a long shot, but maybe the Puff was somewhere nearby.

"Oh! It wasn't necessarily Selina who gave us the punishment, some other girl who was with her," Ariella struggled to remember some unique features of her, "She was some gryffindor, a prefect I think....never caught name."

Ariella nodded in agreement with what else this girl had to say, "Yeah not much of a punishment but, I guess I really shouldn't be complaining then."

Staring at this girl for another moment Ari realized she didn't know her name, nor had she learned Ari's and decided now was a good time for introductions...

"I'm Ariella Day, but you can just call me Ari..."

While talking to...the nameless girl, she spotted another one who had just popped out of the wall and was waking by...

"Oi! You there!" Ari shouted to get her attention and held out flyer, "Here, have a flyer, some Selina Skylar lost it..."

Ari wasn't even sure if the girl had heard but it was worth a shot, it's not like she was extremely enthusiastic about this whole flyer buisness...

Uhura, a attractive looking dark skinned girl with a huge ponytail groaned as she stepped into the platform. This was now her seventh year at Hogwarts, but she was already a full grown woman. She didn't even feal that this last year was NEEDED. She used to attend private school, but her parents decided to enroll her in Hogwarts to make her less "snotty". As if!

Then shebumped into a first year girl. EEK! "Get away from me, you pesky little thing."

"My summer was good. Not so sure about squirt's here even though we live in the same house." He replied back to Ella. "Suprisingly it was an easier summer then all the other years. Not as many things to do. I can't wait until we arrive at Hogwarts again."



As he was about to say something else one of the climbers coming ovewr to them. He grabbed a flyer and quickly examined it. "Ok a few things. One hi my name's Nate, what's yours? Two is it your first year going to Hogwarts. Three how are we suposed to know if it likes to be polished at 3 PM sharp. And four the year on this is off by ten because it's 2078. Sorry if that sounded rude." He replied to the kid.

Uhura stumbled as she had bumped the first girl and then she tumbled into a boy. She stood up and sneered at him, her huge ponytail messed up. "Look where you are going."

Morgana raised her eyebrows and crossed her bare arms in front of her chest. She was a seventh year, not a firsty year! Did this kid really think he could SCARE her?! Sure, she was not muscualr, but she was willing to bet that her ponytail towered over this kid.

Cloning. :3
 

Pause. Walk. Pause.

Was someone calling her?

Renesmee turned around at the sound of her name. It sounded like a bit like Mia. It had to be her. Except where was she? Looking through the crowds, Ness tried to spot someone that was Mia, but there was not one person that looked like her in sight. At this Ness frowned, only to start beaming brightly as she saw a blonde lady pushing a pram.

MIAA!! ISSY!

It took Ness every bit of strength not to squeal about. Leaving her trolley where it was, Ness ran over to where Mia and her daughter was. "You came!"She opened her arms and gave Mia a hug. Then pulling back looked at Issy for just a moment and noticed how she was fast asleep through all this noise."..and you brought Issy, that I must say looks so cute today." Ness beamed. Her beautiful godaughter was all dressed up in her favorite color purple. She looked absolutely beyond adorable, of course the fact that she was sleeping could only add to that cuteness.Huh? Who was this girl shouting at?

It took the new Captain a while to register that somebody was trying to get her attention, but when they did, Ness was fully listening. She took the flyer from the girl and looked at it for a few moments. It had a bat on, a beaters bat. A little weird. Nessie read on, as to what this whole flyer was actually about.

Mortimer? ...A bat named Mortimer? Riiiiight...that was normal. ..Wait what? Selina Skylar? The Gryffindor Captain, Ness knew her. "Thank you, I'll keep an eye out for the bat." She surely would, it was only right she helped out her fellow Captain and also red head. Except there was one thing she didn't get...Why was this girl handing these flyers out, when really it wasn't her bat? Who knew?...probably Selina had asked them to.

To all you in the train crew!
 

She waited diligently to for either the boy or the girl standing next to the boy to take the flyer she had extended after telling her little story. It happened exactly as she said it did; they were being unfairly punished.

Then the girl who had first started the screaming and commotion tried explaining to her that she wasn't being punishment for her heroism and something about dramaticness and all that other unimportant stuff. Honestly she wasn't listening; she never listened to a lecture she deemed undeserved so instead she stared up at her and wait for her to be through before turning her attention to the others again.

She wouldn't argue with her because there was no point and she was clearly outnumbered but that didn't mean that she would be happy about it.

Then she heard a the newer girl asking who Archer was. She was about to relate the gripping story of the poor owl that nearly drew it's last breath at the hands of two dastardly felines but then the high-strung girl killed it by telling a lamer account of the event that would have done no one any justice! She nearly sighed at the injustice.

Then the red-head that had been the more violent of the two older kids spoke. Lex's eyes went wide as she looked over at her in shock. "Yo-you'd really hit one of us??" Why didn't she find that hard to believe?

She sighed when the girl gave them more flyers then sent them off to do her bidding. She grumbled a bit but tried to keep it to a minimum for fear that the girl would actually hit her! But then she relaxed when the first one told her no hitting; at least one of them was still thinking rationally!!!

She looked over at the newer girl to enter the conversation when she heard her say that heroism was not getting caught. She smiled. "Now that makes more sense." She liked this one; she made the most sense.

Selina turned to her best friend and poured when she chastised Selina by telling her that she was not allowed to hit the first years. "B-But hat if they deserve it?" Surely then that changed the rules, right? At least she hoped that Kurumi would see things that way because this one first year was REALLY starting to chip away at Selina's last nerve. Climbing on top of the train was just stupid and then the first year had the audacity to try and make it look like Selina and Kurumi were the bad guys. The girl had a lot of grit.

...oh no.

That was a characteristic of a Gryffindor. If all of these ickle firsties got into Gryffindor Selina would probably go into epileptic shock. It was not that she didn't ever wish people didn't get into any specific house, but it did mean that if these first years got into Gryffindor they were going to be the Gryffindor leaders responsibility. Luckily for Selina, she was only captain, which meant that she was only responsible for them if they were on the team. They would be Rumi and Gideon's problems.

Her attention was diverted from Kurumi when this new person spoke up. She addressed Kurumi first, but then Genevieve turned back to the sixth year. Her words, which to a normal person would have been rational, only seemed to make Selina somewhat upset. Handing out flyers was completely sane. Mortimer was a HIGH CLASS BEATER BAT! People would have wanted to steal him... So he could have been anywhere. With anyone! Anywhere!

However, then the girl started to make actual sense and help them find him. Right. This was the type of person that she needed to help find Mortimer. "Yeah, he does... He's got an engraving on the bottom of his hilt- says his name in gold. Also, he has a stripe of dark wood going down his side." HE WAS BEAUTIFUL!

Who was awkwardly patting her shoulder? Actually... It felt kind of nice.
