Harvey listened as Kurumi told them not to shout so that they wouldnt freak the animals out.. well he was all for it and just watched on as the three first years continued climbing the train to get their pets back. He as much as anyone was afraid for their safety.. he heard Kurumi tell Alexa to get her cat and come down carefully.. yes that was the main point to get down carefully that way they would have their pets and no-one would get hurt. He then listened as Alexa told them not to worry and that they would be down once they had Archer.. whoever that was.. one of the cats or the owl probably. Trying your best? he wanted to yell up at her to just get down and let an adult deal with it.. there were many parents around they could do something! where were the professors when you needed them.. he had often seen them hanging around here in the earlier years.. but he couldnt see any at the moment. So basically no adults to help with this, and then when one of them gets hurt.. who will be responsible. Merlin!!! he hoped they would all manage to get off that train unharmed all children and pets! He hated pets getting hurt as he knew how much they meant to their owners him being the owner of two a cat and an owl who after much harassment now live in harmony together

Why he looked a bit scared, huh? Did he look mad or something? Because people's first impression to him is he was such a mean and arrogant person. You don't need to worry, young boy. Gerald Rush isn't mean, and he won't hurt you. But sometimes he could be so cold and arrogant.

"Yeah, I'm okay. You don't need to worry." And scared. He just gave him a cool smile to the boy, who looked not too young from his age and so much familiar for him. Gary never paid attention to the people who he had ever seen around Hogwarts, even talked to them. The blonde guy just preferred not to talk much. "Really?" That boy had ever seen him around Hogwarts? He didn't realized himself if he was pretty much popular or well-known since he was just a new student.

"Well, I am also a Slytherin." said him calm and extended his hand. "I'm Gary, sixth year." he continued and slightly chuckled to Daichi. This boy seemed like so... hyper? Well, maybe he was glad because of his another year of school. "I do believe it. You sound very.. excited for being a fifth year." But he didn't want to tell about how nightmare is OWLS and that stuffs. It wasn't good to scare the enthusiast-fifth-year-student with OWLS and it's also not good for their health.

The platform is getting a bit crowded by the minute and Jonathan isn't really in the mood of doing much around, so seeing new students and familiar students arriving.... it's his cue to leave. Looking at his cousin, he smiled "Well, I've done my part" which is apparating her to this place. "It's time for me to leave" he added, standing up and folding the daily prophet. "Good luck" because she's really going to need it.

Jonathan then walked away and apparated back to Diagon Alley.

No. No. No. No. No. No. No. NO!!!!

Juliet wanted her cousin to stay more but obviously, he woke up on the wrong side of the bed, which he always does. HMMPH! His father gave him specific instructions. SPECIFIC! And yet he's not even doing them. FINE! he can just go home if he wants too. Giving a faint smile when Jonathan wished her good luck, and then he disappeared. Probably he apparated somewhere quiet.

AND now, she's alone.

Juliet stretched her feet and looked at the floor. She didn't know anyone and everyone seemed to be laughing and enjoying a lot. She pursed her lips as her eyes wandered on the ground. All her things were set and she was ready to leave. Train wasn't still leaving though.

The next thing she noticed was that their was a girl beside her, looking all bubbly and friendly. That's nice, at least now, she can start making some more friends. "Hello" she said bowing her head a bit as part of her greeting.

The nice girl introduced her name, Tiffany. "Nice to meet you, Tiffany" as she took her hand and gave it a small shake "I'm Juliet" she said smiling at her.

All the firsties :D Alexa, Ari, Dylan Plus Kurumi, Chase and Abby
 

The redhead looked expectantly at the boy after she shoved the flyer in his face. Did HE know where Mortimer was? If he did she was going forever be in his debt. Although, many people have told her that they knew where Mortimer was with her previous outings because of the reward. So no debt would be payed to him if he said he knew where Mortimer was UNTIL she had the bat in her hand. The sixth year would not be conned again.

With wide, expectant eyes at the boy, who was now flustered, Selina awaited some sort of answer from him. Her heart feel a little bit when the boy told her he had no seen Mortimer, but then he handed the flyer to his girlfriend or whoever she was. Did SHE know? Please... Selina would give her a Kurumi cookie.

No, she didn't.

Right. So this older looking boy and his lady friend did not know where Mortimer was, which was a shame. But the captain appreciated that they took the time to even talk to her about his whereabouts. She was a panic stricken mother, so every little bit helped. And they told her that they'd look out for him. With a chest fallen expression she sighed, "Well thanks for your help. If you find him you can just contact me... It's all on there. Although you'll probably be better off finding me on the pitch." As captain, that was where she usually spent her time.

Walking away from the two, she started to tell out into the crowd, "Have you seen this bat? Have you seen this bat? Excuse me," she said to a random parent, "Have you seen this bat?"

Before handing another flyer out she heard a very familiar voice scream out her name. Ah Kurumi! Her best friend would help her with the bat flyers. There was nothing else MORE important than her flyer business. Everything else that the prefect could have been doing would have paled in comparison. Although, when she turned around to look at Kurumi she did look rather... Distracted.

The redhead ran over to her friend when she heard and witnessed all of the nonsense with the first years. As much as Selina knew she was not supposed to be amused by this, being a student leader and all, it was sort of funny. Only first years would have been dumb enough to let their animals out and about. Seriously, it was nice to be back to the chaos of the school year.

But then... The scene turned from entertaining to rude. Aside from the first years climbing on the bloody express, one of those rude little buggers was being outright disrespectful to her best friend. And Selina was not someone who took being rude to her friends lightly.

Gritting her teeth, she yelled at the first years, "OI! FIRST YEARS! GET DOWN FROM THAT BLOODY EXPRESS RIGHT NOW...OR I SWEAR TO MERLIN... DON'T MAKE ME FINISH THAT SENTENCE.". They were going to become quite well aquatinted well her beater bat. AND THAT was a promise, not a threat.

Then she remembered that Mortimer was missing... OH DID THEY WANT A FLYER! No focus, Selina, focus!

Juliette rolled her eyes playfully as she walked behind her cousin. She wasn't that slow, he just walked too fast for her. She was eleven after all, there was no need for the marathon. Besides, this was her first year going to Hogwarts, maybe she wanted to look around and see things for the first time.

"What's with the power walk?" She asked when she finally caught up to her cousin. "It's not like the trains leaving now. We have time." She stood on her tip-toes to fully look into her cart, to see if she accidently forgot anything. It looked good so far.

aaaaaaaaall of you
 

Summon the creatures? Well...she could...only... "I don't like using spells on creatures..." she mumbled. Could you imagine using Accio on a person? If she could she would be using Accio Lewis all the time. "I will if there is no other option..."

Which looked as though that would be the case if things kept escalating the way they were. Merlin help her... Of COURSE her seventh year had to be the year that the first years went wild...

Kurumi chose to ignore the snappish comments coming from the first year on top of the train at the moment. She wanted to give Kurumi lip, that was fine. The poor thing would learn soon enough first hand what that could earn her. Dragon Lady would probably make her lips fall off with some sort of potion or spell. When the other first year gave her lip too THEN Kurumi's eyes narrowed. Creatures deserved respect too! Honestly, no wonder their creatures were going all over the place and relying on their fight or flight instincts. Merlin help Hogwarts if their new Care of Magical Creatures professor wasn't reliable...

"One of your prefects is already not happy about this," she muttered under her breath more to herself than to anyone.

Shouting! Who was shouting again!? Didn't they hear her say that loud noises meant BAD things for nervous creatures?! Or over confident ones, as was the case for Walnut most of the time. Actually, well, anything that disturbed Walnut ended up being bad. "NO SHOU----SELINA!" Merlin was she glad to see her best friend. Where Kurumi was good at being a motherly figure in terms of consoling and comfort, Selina was the other half of the equation. She was the one that knew how to lay down the law.

All flailing aside, Kurumi edged closer to her best friend and eyed the posters out of the corner of her eye for just a moment. "Still missing?" Probably not the best of times to get distracted by the posters...but too late now.

Which was when she looked back at the two on top of the train and Kurumi had the sudden urge to smack her head hard against the crimson engine in hopes of knocking some sense into her head because THIS could not possibly be happening right now.

Ella nodded, trying to picture Hazel in her mind. She was the little girl who allowed her to hold Peeta, yeah? If so, she was quite adorable. She smiled at the thought of Logan's having lots of adventures with the little girl. "It seems like you'll have a good person to have adventures with, then." She said with an amused smile.

Ella shrugged. "No problem. Just telling the truth, is all." He would be fine with all the studying stuff, she was sure of it! "And you know, you can owl me if it's not about school stuff too...just saying." She added with a small laugh before getting pulled into a hug. "Best best friend hugs ever." She said with a giggle.

O___O "YOU MEAN IT?!" Ella asked, bouncing up and down. 100 percent sure? That meant...that meant he was definitely coming back! She BEAMed at him before running at him and giving him a BIG hug. "Logan, that's awesome! AndNowI'llHaveMyFirstFriendBackAtHogwarts!" And they could have fun and hang out just like old times! EEP. This was going to be great.

Yeah....that's quite a bit to quote *whistle* but all of yooooooou :P
 

Alexa turned with an audible gasp when she saw Dylan nearly fall off the train. She reached over to grabbed hold of him but luckily he had already managed to steady himself. Phew. They really needed to fix the grip factor on this thing--how was anyone meant to hang on when it was so darn slippery?! Ugh, then they said first years never thought; odd people they all were.

Now that he was steady again she saw him reach over and grab hold of Leo; just in time too because he was about to take one heck of a leap at poor wittle Archer.

Even better was when Ari caught hold of Archer. Now she could relax. She was almost confident that Felix wouldn't attack the bird while it was in it's owner's hand and as was said, she needed to do now was grab Felix then they could get down and those annoying people could stop yelling at them as if they were stupid kids or something. What was with older kids and shouting anyway?

She looked down again and saw how frantic or annoyed...or both the others seemed to look. Seriously?! What concern of theirs was it if they decided to climb the train to get their pets back? They were acting like they had never lost their pets before and like they wouldn't have done anything to get them back.

Looking over at Felix who seemed to have given up on his catch and instead began licking himself, she reached across. Just as she was about to nab him the shouting of another...somehow angrier girl startled her. She jumped slightly and nearly lost her footing but caught herself at the very last minute. She looked down at the girl who nearly cost her her life with a slightly annoyed look. She wished they would listen to hyper high strung girl and stop all the unnecessary shouting that they were all doing.

She scowled.

"We heard you all the first time jeez!" She shouted back. She couldn't help it, they were acting worst than her dad! "We are getting off the stupid thing and we'd do it faster if you'd all stop making us lose focus."

Right, now unto her beloved animal. "Come on Felix, that's enough fun for one day." She said, offering him a smile. It got wider when the animal crawled into her hands and began nuzzling her face. 'Good boy!!!" She said, giving him a little squeeze. She then turned to her friends. "Alright, I think we should get down now."

Elliot eyed Kurumi...honestly? Wouldn't it all be problem solved if she just used magic? However the blonde didn't say anything. Merely grumbled under her breath. She glanced back up at the train...watching them crawl around...she eyed the one that she thought was iike Dani...if only one can survive...let it be that one.. she thought darkly to herself.

Although, a fall from the top of a train wouldnt kill you..exactly. Hmph. Eliot didn't know and wouldn't be finding out first hand either. But her heart was slowing its roll, thank Merlin, and she merely hoped that the first years weren't all this stupid...Lottie wasn't. And she REEAALLY hoped none of them were in her house. Meh. They was lucky Elliot wasnt a prefect, then!

Hmm, Juliet. That's a nice name.

Tiffany nodded with a grin as the girl sitting next to her introducing herself. Since there was still a little bit more time left before the train departs and most of her friends haven't showed up yet, so the lioness decided to have a little chat with this pretty girl before they started their trip. She leaned her back to the chair and spread her arms, a bit warm-up exercise before she started the conversation.

"Nice to meet you too, Juliet. Actually you can me Tiff if you like,"she added with a tiny wink. "People call me that way, it's shorter and more lovely indeed."She smirked at the lovely part. To make it shorter, it's an excuse but most importantly it's the part on lovely. Actually she couldn't really imagine herself considering her name lovely, but she kinda likes it. Haha. "And do take it if you want,"she said, offering the box of chocolate to her. "You know...I just can't live without it." That's true since she had a big big sweet tooth.

Tiffany was about to carry on with more 'interrogation' as she noticed that the boy who was originally sitting next to Juliet had walked away. She wanted to know who that really was, was he Hogwarts student too? Maybe the lioness knew him? "Who is he indeed?"she asked, pointing at her left. "Is he your Romeo?"she laughed. Just joking.

Um yeah...for Everyone in on this whole train fiasco!
 

Ariella struggled to keep hold of the wiggling bird in her arms. He had quite the fright just them and being not even 2 feet away from the contained cats didn't make him any less frightened, poor thing.

"Aww! It's alright Archer!" Ari talked outloud to her bird and she sat down on the top of the train. It was quite slippery and with her owl still trying to flap his wing, she didn't want to fall... "Did the scary kitties try to eat you! You're safe now Arch! I've got you..."

The silly owl finally settle down in her grasp but that didn't stop it from screeching at the felines. Ari was relieved to see that Alexa and DJ were all right, there was so much shouting and screeching it was hard to keep track of everyone, not to metion the students down below who seemed so worried...woops!

"Yup, I think down is a good thing! C'mon Archer, lets get you back in your cage!" Ari said nodding her head in agreement and looked at Alexa and Dylan, "Kitties first!"

Dylan watched as Alexa went to get Felix and Ariella was going for Archer, when someone from down below on the platform yelled at them to get down from the train.. he looked round looking for the source of that loud voice whoever it was.. ok did they not see the delicate mission going on over here? these cats are not easy things to catch you know.. whoever it was probably didnt have one so they didnt know how these animals were. He then went back to watch Alexa who was making her way towards Felix sweet talking him into coming towards her, after it seemed that he was not convinced and wouldnt come he did.

Dylan was trying to keep a tight hold of Leo so that he didnt take off towards Archer again.. after Alexa had gotten a hold of Felix.. he looked at Ariella "Ok your turn.. go get Archer" he said to her as he watched her make her way towards her frightened owl. He smiled as she managed to get a hold of Archer, and once all three pets were calm he heard Alexa say that it was time they got down from the train and Ariella agreed too "Yeah I think so, cause I think already not many people are happy down there" he said jerking his head towards the platform where several older students were watching them. Cats first? ok that was not a problem "Ok I will go first then" he said as he turned his back on the platfrom and started easing his way down the side of the train with Leo in one hand and gripping wherever he could on the sides of the train.

Tiff? She wanted to be called Tiff? Okay.

Juliet nodded, agreeing to her, Tiff it is but still, she liked Tiffany too. Tiff is kind of like a name you would call a----- hmmm, nevermind. It is her name after all and she sort of insisted on it. So definitely, Tiff. "Well Tiff, I'm still Juliet" giggling. She doesn't want to be called anything else. Jul, is like a guy's name. Juliet is just fine. There is one other nickname that people call her alot but she's not going to tell anyone right now. It's not that she likes being called by that nickname.

As she handed her the chocolate, Juliet shook her head. "I'm really not the type to eat a lot of sweet things" unlike some people she knew. Yeah, that person who just left her there. Now, that person can eat so many sweet things at ones. You'd think it's unnatural for one to be a sweet tooth like him. "But thank you" she smiled. She'll just eat something from the trolley later when they get to their seat in the train. She'd love to eat something citrus-y or something spicy. Those stuff are just awesome to eat...

... And speaking of the person who just left him. Tiffany is now asking if she's his Romeo. Not even close. Not to Juliet at all. Well he is known to be one but ack! Juliet sometimes just get irritated with him. "You mean, Jonathan?" she said pointing at the now disappeared cousin of hers. Jonathan is from Hogwarts anyway. So whether she ask who he is, she can just say an ex-Slytherin or something like that.

"not my Romeo though" she said while tugging on the some of the ends of her hair and grinning. She never has one of those.

THAT WAS AWESOME!!!! Isabel closed her eyes to reval in the moment she had just run through the wall .looking around her she notices a small group of people standing infront of the train they didn't look too happy.following their stares a a wide 1000 watt smile began to spread across her face she would definitely fit in to .quickly opening sadas her new owl's cage come on out sada it's time for some fun!!! Go fly up there

All you involved in this train climbing thing! lol
 

Harvey watched as he saw all three firsties trying to get their animals off the train, he suddenly heard more yelling at the firsties. He looked to see that an older gryffindor had done the yelling, but hadnt her fellow gryffindor Kurumi just said no yelling which is why they were all quietly watching and not yelling or shouting anymore. He then looked back at the firsties and was glad to see that at least one of them, the boy had managed to get a hold of his cat and was now waiting for the other two to get theirs. Well that was one down two to go.

He then watched Alexa carefully as she went to get her cat off the train.. for a moment he thought that her cat wasnt going to come towards her but then he saw that the cat came to her rather happily. Next the other girl who he assumed was the owner of the poor owl that was chased up there.. soon she too had her pet. Now all three could get down right? yes now they were to carefully get down from the train.. he wondered who would go first and saw that it was the boy that started his decent.. had he not heard that girls always went first? strange boy that one was.. not letting girls go first, it was only polite to let them go first.

"And there's that blush I love so much," Chace said before planting a kiss on her cheek. "And no, of course not. Do you think I would keep coming back for more if I didn't think so?" Yeah, because there was nothing worse than trying to commit yourself to a kiss that just was not happening.

"I don't think that's physically possible," Chace said with a shake of the head. "Now if you were admiring her lifestyle then I might say you have some things to worry about." Chace didn't know where Abby and him were going to be in the future...he wasn't really one to look too far outside the present when it came to relationships, but even if something happened and they were no longer dating Chace imagined they would still be at least friends. And either way it would be his obligation to make sure that nothing like that happened to her. "Plus, I would never let that happen. You know me, I won't be one to beat around the bush if it becomes and issue either." Chace really didn't get the whole point of being around the bush. Just tell someone how it is and that's that. Saves a lot of time and the possibility of things getting lost in translation.

"I promise I will talk to you first," Chace said with a nod of the head. He wasn't really someone that went looking for trouble but if it was necessary Chace had no problem letting someone know when they are out of line. Chace's smirk widened as Abby began to play with the zipper of his hoodie. He placed his hands on either said of her waist, closing the gap between them slightly. "Well after today I can say that I love your lips. A. Lot."

Chace fought the urge to smile as Abby showed the same look that he had on his face. He watched as the girl headed off to go ask some other kids if they had seen...er...Mortimer. "Is it common to name your quidditch equipment?" Chace asked, biting his lower lip as he looked at the flyer.

Dani moved down the platform where she could see Em and Dallas. It had taken age to simply get the kids both into the pram after their car journey. She waved over and headed through the crowd, it was hard weaving the pushchair through everyone but she succeeded.

"Sweetie, you'll have a great time, I promise" she smiled reassuringly at Emeilia. She knew that the girl would do well, that she'd succeed and that all would be well at school, she didn't have much reason to worry about her at all- as much as she would miss her.

Justin walked back to Ronnie once his arguement with Ariana had ended, " Sorry, Ronnie..... Did mean to leave ya here by your lonesome.... Wasn't very polite of me.... I don't know why I thought she and I could remain friends...... " he said apologetically..... " From here on out you've my undevided attention, I promise......" he said with a little smile, " So... what'd I miss? " he inquired as he saw that all eyes were now on him.

Ronnie died a little on the inside as he said she had his undevided attention. Oh jeez. Well, THAT helped. She was off to a great start now!...not really...

"Erm...well...I've been meaning to tell you this f-for a while, Justin..." she began, biting her lip. This seriously was gonna be harder than she thought!

Ari watched as DJ carefully made his way down the side of the train and was quite relieved, it couldn't have been very easy trying to climb down a train with a squirmy cat in one hand and shouting student beneath you. Speaking of shouting students, Ari wasn't looking forward to the talk they were going to be having shortly, they didn't seem to be very happy with the lot of them.

It's not like they had ment this all to happen! They were all just extremely worried about their pets and went up to save them. Well, mostly just save Archer and keep the cats from eating him...

Ari looked over at Alexa and noticed she hadn't moved to get down yet, "Uh Alexa? Are you going to head down and face the limelight..."

To be honest Ari didn't want to face the limelight, the limelight at the moment seemed to be some angy Gryffie's and some worried Claws. Niether seemed very welcoming at the moment...

Alexa frowned a bit as she looked down again...she didn't want to go down there and get told off for doing something she thought was pretty brave. If they hadn't gotten up here then Felix might just have made a meal of Archer yet!

She looked over at Ari as she said cats first. She was more than a little hesitant especially after all those bits of shouting and that one girl threatening them without actually finishing the threat...those were the worst kinds of threats...the ones you didn't know all that much about....She did feel a bit better when Dylan decided to make the first move by going down. It would at least give her a bit more time before she, herself, had to get down.

Once he was safely down she got set to do the same but then she was startled by an owl flapping over then seconds later a girl that she had a brief encounter with climbed up the train and took a seat. She grimaced at her. "What are you doing up here? Didn't you hear everyone shouting for us to get down?" She didn't like this girl very much so maybe she should have let her be so she could get in trouble...more trouble than them then they would get off the hook as everyone lectured the girl. Such a nice idea...too bad it wasn't all that plausible.

She turned to her friend when she heard her ask if she was ready to get into the limelight.

"Ummmm....not really," She looked down at all the faces and their various expressions then sighed, "but I think things will be worse if we stay up here...so I guess we should head down too."

She looked over at the other girl again. "Though I don't care whether or not you get in trouble you should get down too..."

Then she clung tightly to Felix and made her way down the train. Her heart skipped a beat as her feet hit the floor. Slowly she turned to face everyone. Gulp.

Logan laughed. "Of course I'll owl you, school work or not!" he said with a smile. He laughed at what she said as they hugged.

Logan laughed, amused at how much more excited she got. He laughed again as she hugged him, he squeezed her back. "I can't wait!" he said. He really couldn't. Could he go now? NOW? NOWWW?! ...how about now? No? .....right now?!

Alexa was right, if they decided to stay up here any longer she was sure that prefect down there was going to just about explode, and that wouldn't be very pretty! Ari could tell the Lex was nervous, why shouldn't she be, they had cause quite a commotion while they were up there and they certainly weren't going to be praised for it, that much Ariella was sure of....

Just as Lex was about to start her journey down she noticed another girl had climbed up and told her she should get down and Ariella nodded in agreement, wouldn't want to give anymore students a fright, besides things had just started to settle down.

"Be careful!" Ari called out to Alexa as she steadily made her decend. Once she had safely set both her feet on the ground Ari knew her turn had finally come. She took a deap breath secured Archer in her right arm where he was tucked in under her armpit, he was stiff as a board the poor thing.

Ari turned so her back was facing the platform and shakily made her way down one step at a time. Once her own feet hit the ground she turned and faced her friends and the older students and meekly said, "Well that was fun..."

anyone?
 

As soon as she passed through the wall between the two platforms, Gwendolyn made her way with hasty steps towards the north end. The place was already really crowded. Gwen could only hope to find her friends around here… Maybe she’ll have a bit more luck once she’d be on the train? The girl made sure she hadn’t forgotten her cat, Jinx in the muggle area of the station…

…not like that ever happened before.

Whistlee…

So, with Jinx in his cage, and all her luggage, the girl continued to make her way along the platform. She soon got tired of excusing herself every time she bumped into someone. Hmph. That was clearly not her fault.
