:choochoo: All aboard! :choochoo:

Front of the train getting full? No worries, there's plenty of room in the back cars. Mind your step and take small children by the hand. Kiss your Ma and your Pa, get the last jab in at your younger siblings, but don't dally!

The Hogwarts Express will be pulling out soon, headed to Hogwarts for another magical year. You may RP your character boarding the train here, saying their goodbyes, and meeting new Hogwarts students.

Forgetting about everything during the kiss, the barrier, his anger at Isaac, his intimate meeting with his trolley and luggage, Edmund wondered why it'd taken so long to get to this. When she pulled away, he took a deep breath and gazed down at her, vaguely aware that his arms were wrapped around her, but also amazed that he'd gotten two kisses within the space of about five minutes.

"It's okay, Isaac was right. I wasn't going to go through of my own accord." He assured her softly, shivering once more at the thought. "Just forget about it." He supposed he owed Isaac an apology for the looks, but right now he didn't want to apologise. The guy had practically tackled him. "I need to send dad an owl." His voice was bitter.

Managing a small smile Nell watched Ed closely to make sure he was truly alright. He still seemed a bit shaken up but was recovering. She was worried for him but couldn't help but keep smiling. He had kissed her! Twice! She ran her hands up and down his arms marveling at the fact that she was in his arms.

Nell respected that he wanted to put this behind him. "Well, at least you won't ever have to do that again." Her smile turned wicked. "Unless you have kids..." The bitterness in his voice wiped the smile off her face. It took her a moment to put two and two together but when she did she couldn't hide the horror in her voice. "Your dad knew about the barrier and didn't tell you."

How in the world could anybody be that cruel? Maybe his dad hadn't meant it that way but it was. Especially if he knew about Edmund's aversion to going through barriers like that. Nell stretched up and kissed him on the cheek. "It's over now and things can only get better. Right?"

SPOILER!!: Elliot

Ezra was smiling, watching Elliot's lips perk up to the beat of his music. "Good question. I'm not really sure what will happen with all the magic around, we'll just have te' see."

Was she stuttering? Ezzi's brows twitched and he gazed at her as she spoke, Elliot was trying hard not to meet his gaze. A crooked grin formed on his lips. "I'm sure your friends will come around. I definitely need to make my own," Ezra did feel a little weird that he hadn't got to know many students since his first month in England.

She guessed? Why was Elliot so complicated? "You're not to sure of me, are you?" Ezzi's eyes gleamed with curiosity as he questioned her. Maybe he was a little abrupt with himself? Ezzi's hand let go of her curl of hair, and slowly dropped to his side.

"Oh, you'll allow me?" Ezzi spoke with eyebrows raised, emphasizing allow. He was holding back a chuckle, gosh this girl was too much. "How pleased I am to have your permission, Me'lady."

And Elliot was talking to Bugaboo, and Ezzi grinned with interest. Bugaboo squeaking happily, with a light flutter of his wings. "Nah, he's very sociable," And as Ezra said it, Bugaboo was already licking the tip of Elliot's nose.

Noticing she couldn't stop smiling, his eyes lit up. It was fantastic and thrilling to him that he made her this happy. Unsure of what to say, he just gazed down at her and bit his lip.

"Won't I have to go back out through it at the end of the year?" He didn't really want to think about it, but he also didn't want to be lulled into a false sense of security. Kids, ha. That was a strange thought. His expression was a peculiar one, showing confusion, thoughtfulness and dreaminess. He wasn't sure if he wanted kids or not.

Shuddering at the thought, he then looked down at her and nodded. "Obviously. He came to Hogwarts himself and it seems he chose to keep this from me." Nope, he wasn't happy at all. "Probably knew I'd freak out and not leave the house if I knew before." That still didn't make it any better. A smile worked its way back onto his face at her kiss. "Yup! I have no problem with train journeys, especially if there's a beautiful girl to accompany me!"

Nell shook her head glad that she could put some of his fears to rest. "Once your out of school you can disparate if you want to. Though I would suggest doing it here so you can at least ride back with your friends." She didn't mention that he wouldn't be able to disapparate from the grounds, he would have to walk to Hogsmeade.

After her kid comment she watched as a variety of emotions chased themselves across his face. She couldn't identify half of them but she found it amusing to watch the effect her words had on him. Nell herself couldn't even think about kids right now.

Listening solemnly to his explanation Nell formed a bad opinion of his father. She couldn't believe that he hadn't at least explained about the barrier. Maybe his father could have found some way of helping Ed instead of letting him discover and fend for himself. If the man were here she would have a few choice words to say to him.

His next words broke into her reverie and had Nell smiling and blushing. He thought she was beautiful! She tossed her hair over her shoulder theatrically. "Well naturally." She winked at him.

"Yeah, I guess I do." she said with a chuckle. She eyed the boy up and down. Hmm...She had never seen him around Hogwarts before. Well, she was pretty sure she hadn't. "I'm Ronnie." she said, sticking her hand out towards the boy to shake.

Oh. Here was another girl who turned red as soon as he talked to her, just like Ness. Though he supposed this one actually had reason to be embarrassed. "I think one of the wheels might be damaged," he added helpfully in an attempt to make her feel a little better. Maybe it was actually true at any rate.

He took the hand she offered him and shook it. "Nice to meet you, I am Logan."

"But I don't have a license." Ed's voice was quiet as he told her about this obvious hindrance. "I can apparate, but I need to be able to do it legally." His face made it clear that he wasn't happy about this. At all. "Of course I'd ride back with you, even if I could apparate." Like it was even a question.

Mentally deciding what to say to his father, Edmund glanced down at his owl. His beautiful owl. He knew she'd be happy to go out and fly for the first time in a couple of days. The thought had him itching to write the letter now, for her sake.

His eyes focused on her once more as she blushed and tossed her hair over her shoulder. "Modesty suits you." he joked. The steam that the train was emitting had him sighing softly. "I suppose we should get our stuff on the train, then find Isaac? I need to talk to him."

"Ah, yes that's probably it!" Ronnie said, hoping it was. It'd be pretty lame not to be able to push a trolley. Maybe she had brought too much with her...? She eyed the things on it, and it didn't look like a lot of things at all. In fact, she had less things on it than she had in her earlier years! So there probably was something wrong with the wheel. Either that, or she really needed to toughen up. But she was pretty positive there was something wrong with it.

Ronnie smiled. "Nice to meet you too, Logan! What house are you in?" she asked. She really didn't recognize him...maybe he was indoors at Hogwarts a lot? Because in her free time, she was almost always outdoors. Or maybe he was new to the school.

"Alright, I guess I'll check out the wheels then." she said with a firm nod, crouching down and looking at the wheels. Hmm...she looked up at Logan. "Why don't you push it a bit, and I'll stay here and watch the wheels and see if anything is wrong with 'em." she said.

Cardigan tugged along her trunk, letting out a few breaths of exhaustion. Gosh this is heavy, she thought, her trunk really getting to her head. She hadn't gotten enough sleep these past days, with this air of excitement surrounding her, for Hogwarts. Eeep! It was just too exciting!! And guess what?! She's gonna be a third year! Can you believe it? She's grown up so fast. It seemed like just yesterday she was going on the train for the first time, awed by the fact that they sold candy, from a cart, on a TRAIN!(it still does, in fact.) A lot of things do, really. Like the fact that chocolate is not good for your face and that cats can't do cool tricks(trust me, she knows).

Cardigan sat her trunk down by a bench, sitting down to take a rest. She needed to give her arms a break. Well, kind of. She opened up her trunk, sifting through all the clothes, books, and other stuff. She mentally noted that she'd have to organize this all up, in order to keep herself on track this school year. If she didn't do it now, she would get to lazy to ever do it! Not cool. She finally got to the bottom of the "bottomless pit", pulling out the latest edition of Witch Weekly, her favorite magazine of all time! She flipped through, skimming over the text to see what looked interesting(and looking at the pictures, of course). Let's see...

Elliot gave him back the earpiece, dropping it gently into his hand. And she was still trying her best not to look as his hazel eyes. Because she knew she was blush. And blushing was just NOT OKAY for Elliot.

"I sure hope so. If not..." I have you to keep me company... is what she was going to say. but she didn't. Because...well, Elliot felt weird about saying that. So instead, she merely shrugged and rolled her eyes. Yep.

"Whatever house you make it in..well, you'll make loads of friends, I assure you. The big head might be a put-off.." she smirked, raising an eyebrow. "You do know about the houses, right?" Because he was a newb and all.

What? NO. She was very sure she liked him. Wait. GAH. SHe was very sure that they were friends...VERY. "I am sure of you, actually. Sure that you and I will have an interesting friendship," she said, finally looking him full on, into his eyes. SHe let her icy blue ones pierce his hazel ones. And she smiled. "I have lots of enemies, you know. So it's ...well, it's nice to have someone be friendly." Very nice. And Elliot even felt nicer when she was talking to him. It was weird. And Elliot didn't even know if she liked this or not. Being nice and all...

Heehee.

"Yep. You're welcome...you're very privileged, you know..." she said, bowing a little, like the queen she was. "To have my approval..." she smirked again. This boy here...

And his BAT. She winced as he licked her nose, and she quickly wiped it off. "Erm, Bugaboo...I would rather if you didn't lick my face, thanks." She told the bat...with a small grin.

This. Was. Amazing.

She couldn't believe her eyes. One moment Ari as in the train station surrounded by muggles and then the next moment she was running right through a brick wall and ended up here. Ariella felt a smile grow on her face. It was beautiful here with the large, magestic train sitting, waiting for the moment when the children whould climb aboard. The sun shined brightly over the anxious students as the breeze ruffled their hair. How peaceful...

Ari struggled, as she pulled along her extremely heavy trunk with her owl's cage tucked under her arm. Her robes dragged on the ground, a bit to long for her but she would grow into it. Her feet stumbled for a moment and then...

Thud.

"Oww!" Ari moaned as she tripped over her own robes and fell right onto the ground, how embarrasing! "Smooth, Ariella, smooth..."

Silvia emerged on platform 9 3/4. It was filled with students waiting to board the Hogwarts Express, so she and her father made their way towards the south end where it was a bit less crowded.

After a final check to make sure she had everything she needed, Mr. Talbot hugged his daughter and they said their goodbyes for the time being. Work at the Ministry was very busy at the moment, and Mr. Talbot couldn't stay for long. Silvia's mother was also busy with work and unfortunately hadn't been able to see her off. But Silvia was okay with it; this was her third year and by now she was used to being away from home for long periods.

So she took control of her trolley after one last hug from her father and started to walk around the platform. She hoped to see someone she knew, or perhaps meet a few new students.

He did hear someone shouting 'Hey', but didn't turn around. First, they were in a public place, so people shouting around was expected; second, he was too concerned to pay attention to his surroundings at the moment.

Frowning, Sophie kept walking close to her father, Brady cuddled in her arms and eyes looking straight ahead. The badger was almost marching or something. If one knew Sophie well, they would expect her to be skipping, not marching!

Deeper frown. Sophie stoped on her tracks and turned around to face him. The one that had punched her. Well, sort of. But still. Those were his intentions, right? To hurt her!

Without replying to him, the girl eyed her bag that was currently being levitated by the strange man. "Thank you." She mumbled as she got a hold of her bag. She handed her bunny rabbit to her dad, opened the bag she had now placed on the floor and started looking for something.

When his daughter suddenly stopped, John's heart jumped and he also stopped at once. Whatever had happened now?? He looked over his shoulder before turning around.

The man held Brady in his hand and watched as Sophie looked for something in her bag. He looked up at the boy, then looked at the man that had levitated his daughter's bag. He had a very confused expression on his face, but didn't forget his manners.

"Thank you." He said to the man, letting go of the cart and holding his hand out. "I'm John Campbell." The young boy knew his girl already, so no need to introduce her. He looked down again to watch as she pulled something out of her bag.

The boxing telescope.

Sophie stared at Oakey some more as she held the object with her left hand and her bag hung from her right hand. After a few seconds of awkward silence, she stepped forward and held it out for him to get it.

"John Campbell, You can call me Jarvis Toombs." He holstered his wand and put his hand out to shake Johns. His hand shake was firm and serious, not like it used to be. Azkaban had even affected something so small as how he shakes hands.
He gave the bunny in he mans other hand a nice smile. "Looks like one of the little guys I used worked with." Oop, that was too much information.

Oakey stood completely still as he watched Sophie rummage through her things. As she pulled out a boxing telescope he flinched pulling his hands in front of his face! SHE WAS GONNA TAKE REVENGE! He thought, but after about 5 seconds of not being punched in the face he lowered his hands. "You're not gonna hit me?" He asked Sophie, confused. "But I did that to you."

He did what!?!??!? Jarvis overheard Oakey's confession for punching a girl in the face. Taking this oppertunity to avoid any kind of question from John He knocked Oakey over the head with his hand. "Oakey!" Jarvis yelled displeased with the Hufflepuff. "Harvey is going to here about this! I don't think I can trust you with Felicity now!"

Come on little girl just squeeze it now make Oakey pay for his horrible misdeed!

OW HEY!?!?! Oakey yelped as the Old man whacked him hard on the top of his head. "I'm the dumb one?" Oakey protested towards Jarvis, " I would have kept my mouth shut when it came to pulling rabbit's from a hat!" That's right, Oakey heard your slip up. "Felicity and I are just fine together! So stop worrying your fuzzy head off!"

The Campbell's wouldn't mind a bunch of dysfunctional bickering dumbos at the moment would they?

She asked the girl, setting her magazine carefully to the side. She didn't want to ruin it or anything, seeing as she wouldn't get another copy until she stopped by Hogsmeade's.

His mother had been pretty insistent that she escort him to the train station but he did NOT let her anywhere near the platform. To Elijah, there was nothing more UNattractive than having to have your Mummy see you off. Nope. So, she was left outside of King's Cross as Elijah made his own way to the familiar wall and eventually onto the platform that hosted the train which would take him back to his most favourite place on Earth (except for the classes bit).

He had read in the Prophet that they should be expecting some visitors on the train. Board of Governors or something? Elijah would be sure to seek them out just to feed his own curiosity. What if one of them was really hot? Although, he guessed that they'd all be OLD and wrinkley and stuff. Ew. But, he had promised he wouldn't meddle in things that didn't concern him TOO much this term. Not after what happened in Hogsmeade a few months back.

After the fiasco that had happened on the North end, Kurumi was glad to arrive at the South end while doing her rounds and finding it to be quiet. Then again, ANYTHING seemed quiet compared to first years and their pets climbing the train and giving lip when it was certainly not appreciated. Couldn't anything go right her final term at Hogwarts? No? Alright then...

Sitting down on one of the benches lining the platform, Kurumi heard a crunching noise under her weight and she looked down to see a slightly crumbled up copy of the Daily Prophet. She hadn't read one of those since, well, since the end of last term - not really being in any place where they were easily accessible - and she didn't have to flip too far through the pages to see something that made her eyes widen.

"Visitors...on the train?"

Ug...and with THOSE first years running around this was bound to spell disaster.

Text Cut: Oakey and the Strange Man

"Jarvis Toombs it is." Though... that name... made John even more confused, though he didn't show it. It was strangely familiar, but he had no idea where he had heard such a name before. And this funky beard... anyway.

"You used to work with anim-" But the children's little commotion got their attention before he could finish the question.

Sophie rolled her eyes then looked at Oakey with an impatient expression. "Of course I won't hit you, Oakey." Not even if she really wanted to. Deep down Sophie still hoped it had been an accident, but she kind of knew it hadn't been one. Oh well, one couldn't expect much from their own friends now, could they?

She raised her eyebrows and blinked as the older man smacked Oakey in the head. Whoa!

Wait just one minute... Sophie had a black eye for over a month because of this boy?? A BOY hit his precious Sophie?? An OLDER boy hit her?? John's head whipped in the kid's direction and he gave him a hard stare.

One does not simply hit his daughter and get away with it like that.

Good one, Jarvis Toombs. John liked the man already. The former Ravenclaw didn't say anything, but reached for his wand in his robes and without even pulling it out, cast a non-verbal spell on the fifteen year-old. No one messes with Sophie. No one.

Too bad he was polite... that kid deserved a good sermon right there and John wouldn't mind doing it in front of all of those other students.

Oh Merlin, why did this have to happen?? Sophie had managed to give her parents a good excuse for the black eye that wouldn't come off even with her father's strongest spells and now Oakey ruined it!

Uuuggghhh, Oakey!

The boy had made her upset and had indeed hurt her, but she didn't want her parents mad at him. Sophie knew very well how overprotective her father was... things wouldn't be pretty if they found out what had really happened.

Sophie quickly looked at her father to see his reaction and was surprised to see that he didn't say anything. Weird... and maybe that was even worse... hopefully he wouldn't send Oakey a howler or anything... Merlin...!

But waitwaitwait. What was that older man talking about?? "Felicity?" Sophie looked from her housemate to Jarvis. "Sir..." She started, but the both of them were going all snappy and loud at each other already. And right there in the platform. What. "SIR." Sophie repeated louder and in a firm tone. She had learned how to use that tone quite fast. "I'm sorry sir, but who is this Felicity that you're talking about? Oakey said he would tell me later, but never did."

That's right, Sophie would know about this and would hear it now! Oakey did say he'd tell her later, right?

"And what is this about pulling rabbits from hats?" John looked at the younger boy, Brady still on the palm of his hand. Jarvis didn't seem like a muggle at all, why were they talking about silly old muggle magic tricks?

Yep. Question time! Both Campbells were now staring at the... different... special... guys.

Heh. Yeah, it WAS, wasn't it? Everything about Valerie was 'too cool.' Even her MOMMA was too cool. Valerie gave a satisfied, smug smile. Okay, this girl didn't seem so bad right now. Nope, nope. Keep it up... Cardigan? Val looked at the girl who, incidentally, looked a little bit younger than her. "Cardigan? Your name's Cardigan? Like the piece of clothing?" Why, Valerie had never heard such a name!

"I'm Valerie DeWalt," he stated, with a flip of the blonde locks. Toooooo cool.

Why, Valerie had never heard such a name!

"I'm Valerie DeWalt," he stated, with a flip of the blonde locks. Toooooo cool.

"Yea, I guess...don't ask...," Cardigan said, looking of to the side a bit. Sigh. This wasn't the first time people thought her name was..."odd". The only reason she could think of how she recieved that name was because one, her mum wanted to give her a name that was weird, odd, and potentially embarrassing, and two, how fashion forward her mum thought she was. Cardigan probably got it all from her... Most likely.

"Nice to meet you, Valerie," Cardigan said a little timidly. Valerie made her feel a little...uneasy, in a sense. But they had just spoken like, a few sentences so it wasn't really fair for her to think that way. They needed to get to know each other better. The girl seemed to have quite the fashion sense. She decided to ask about her shoes, seeing the third year knew a thing or two about the brands and such. "Hmm, so what brand are your shoes?"

Don't ask? Eyebrow lift. "Ooookay," Valerie agreed with a shrug and no further suspicion about the piece-of-clothing name.

"Thanks," she responded. Oh. Wait, now she was supposed to say the same thing back, right? If she meant it, she guessed. And yeah... so far, this Cardigan girl seemed cool enough to hang with. No snorting or geeky glasses or something. "Ditto to you." AND now she was asking about Val's pride and joy pumps. She flashed a smile and showed off her shoes. "Giuseppe Zanotti," answered Val, lifting her chin a bit. "You like?"

"You used to work with anim-" But the children's little commotion got their attention before he could finish the question.

Sophie rolled her eyes then looked at Oakey with an impatient expression. "Of course I won't hit you, Oakey." Not even if she really wanted to. Deep down Sophie still hoped it had been an accident, but she kind of knew it hadn't been one. Oh well, one couldn't expect much from their own friends now, could they?

She raised her eyebrows and blinked as the older man smacked Oakey in the head. Whoa!

Wait just one minute... Sophie had a black eye for over a month because of this boy?? A BOY hit his precious Sophie?? An OLDER boy hit her?? John's head whipped in the kid's direction and he gave him a hard stare.

One does not simply hit his daughter and get away with it like that.

Good one, Jarvis Toombs. John liked the man already. The former Ravenclaw didn't say anything, but reached for his wand in his robes and without even pulling it out, cast a non-verbal spell on the fifteen year-old. No one messes with Sophie. No one.

Too bad he was polite... that kid deserved a good sermon right there and John wouldn't mind doing it in front of all of those other students.

Oh Merlin, why did this have to happen?? Sophie had managed to give her parents a good excuse for the black eye that wouldn't come off even with her father's strongest spells and now Oakey ruined it!

Uuuggghhh, Oakey!

The boy had made her upset and had indeed hurt her, but she didn't want her parents mad at him. Sophie knew very well how overprotective her father was... things wouldn't be pretty if they found out what had really happened.

Sophie quickly looked at her father to see his reaction and was surprised to see that he didn't say anything. Weird... and maybe that was even worse... hopefully he wouldn't send Oakey a howler or anything... Merlin...!

But waitwaitwait. What was that older man talking about?? "Felicity?" Sophie looked from her housemate to Jarvis. "Sir..." She started, but the both of them were going all snappy and loud at each other already. And right there in the platform. What. "SIR." Sophie repeated louder and in a firm tone. She had learned how to use that tone quite fast. "I'm sorry sir, but who is this Felicity that you're talking about? Oakey said he would tell me later, but never did."

That's right, Sophie would know about this and would hear it now! Oakey did say he'd tell her later, right?

"And what is this about pulling rabbits from hats?" John looked at the younger boy, Brady still on the palm of his hand. Jarvis didn't seem like a muggle at all, why were they talking about silly old muggle magic tricks?

Yep. Question time! Both Campbells were now staring at the... different... special... guys.

Oakey felt like he had gotten what he deserved from Jarvis, a quick yelling and a smack on the head. I
t came as a huge surprise when Sophie's Dad, Mr.Campbell gave him a glare, then cast a spell at him! Oakey had no time to react! His whole face began to burn, it was like someone had tossed wasabi powder in his face! tears rolled down his eyes, as the burning sensation really kicked in! But the crying hurt too, the tears stung his cheeks. It was like it was boiled water! This was the worst punishment he had ever received. He would have rather taken a punch to the face from the telescope.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA Jarvis could help but chuckle at the sight he was seeing! Oakey's whole face just lite up into a bright read! The poor kid was writhing in pain for punching Sophie the Sophie girl in the face with a prop telescope. Seeing as Oakey had enough. Jarvis flicked his own wand and suspended the punishment. He gave John a quick smile, but also a stern look saying I'll take it from here, thanks.

"Who's Felicity?" Jarvis said, repeating the young girls question. "Oakey never told you?" He looked down at Oakey for a moment then back at the young girl. "She's his Girlfriend." Okay so maybe they weren't dating, but Oakey seemed so concerned with getting Felicity to London and saving her from Vampires, the two of them should be. "I don't know why he wouldn't tell you? He had a pretty epic summer."

Ugh now he had to make up for his own mistake. "I-it was a side job, while I was in America." Jarvis lied "I needed some extra cash for muggle shops so I performed some muggle magic shows at birthday parties." he gave a good fake chuckle at his own comment. "They've got some weird ways of faking magic." Okay the lie was over, now to top it off with some honesty. "I now some pretty cool coin tricks actually, you wanna see?"

Oakey's sudden heat flash went away thanks to Jarvis, now he had gotten what he deserved for sure. He looked up at Sophie while Jarvis rambled on about muggle magic tricks and revealing who Felicity really was...which she was not his girlfriend!

"I'm sorry Sophie." For both things.

Giuseppe Zanotti...nice. Cardigan had seen those before, but she didn't own a pair. Maybe her sister owns some. She really only owned a few pairs like that, maybe 3. Once when she went shopping in Berlin, she saw these white studded heels that were just to die for!! She needed to get them somehow. " They're stunning!", She replied with a little exaggeration in her voice. They really were that stunning! So sleek and professional. Hers were more.."freeform", like Alexander McQueen. Like, they're just on a wider color range and have more little details and such. Nothing too special.

She eyed the things on it, and it didn't look like a lot of things at all. In fact, she had less things on it than she had in her earlier years! So there probably was something wrong with the wheel. Either that, or she really needed to toughen up. But she was pretty positive there was something wrong with it.

Ronnie smiled. "Nice to meet you too, Logan! What house are you in?" she asked. She really didn't recognize him...maybe he was indoors at Hogwarts a lot? Because in her free time, she was almost always outdoors. Or maybe he was new to the school.

"Alright, I guess I'll check out the wheels then." she said with a firm nod, crouching down and looking at the wheels. Hmm...she looked up at Logan. "Why don't you push it a bit, and I'll stay here and watch the wheels and see if anything is wrong with 'em." she said.

Logan smiled now, happy that she seemed to like the suggestion. Just as long as she didn't feel embarrassed or weak he was happy. He bit his lip as he watched her look over her luggage and stayed silent.

"I'm new at Hogwarts," he explained now. Why he wasn't all that familiar with the train here. "But I want to be in Slytherin. Hufflepuff seems nice to too though." Harlan was a Puff. As was Ness and Amelia.

With a nod at her next suggestion, he started to carefully wheel her trolley forward. "See anything?"

Tazzie · 08-25-2012, 07:12 AM

The upcoming Ravenclaw fourth year sluggishly pushed her trolley along the Platform, trailing behind her was her Grandma Beatrice, looking much like the disciplinarian she is with her chin up high, stoic facial expression, and poised walk. The woman was sending off her granddaughter to the Hogwarts Express.

"Hurry Beatrice." she said in her usual leveled voice. Her granddaughter moved like a snail. They needed to speed things up if they don't want the train to leave without her. She eyed her granddaughter cautiously, the girl was dragging her bags and luggage all by herself while she was only holding one shoulder bag. Perhaps, she could help her? Hmm. Better not to. That way, Beatrice will become more responsible of her actions.

"Yes...Grandma," Beezus replied, putting much effort into hustling her stuff. Why won't her Grandmother lend a hand? It was obvious she was having difficulty given the weight of her luggage and all. SIGH.

She advanced on and walked beside Beatrice. She found it amusing, really. Her granddaughter's name was Beatrice, and she herself was Beatrice. Oh, she loved this girl so much. Now, she was already on her fourth year at Hogwarts. Merlin, she was growing up so fast. And growing up beautiful and smart for that matter. The 52-year old cleared her throat. "Are you certain you have all the things you need for the term? Books? Potion ingredients? Your uniforms? How about your wand?"

Beezus nodded politely, "I've got it all Grandma. The books are in my trunk, I've checked the Potion ingredients, my uniforms are all there, skirts and shirts, and my wand's at my holster." With her Grandma, everything just had to be organized and every question must receive a response that is clear and distinct. It was suffocating at certain times, but she'll still miss the old woman. After all, she was her Grandmother, her name was derived from hers, and she grows the prettiest flowers.

'I'm sure you're used to people acting weird by now. After all, it's the magical world. Anything is possible here.' Ari laughed. 'Seriously though, I'm not mad, cool as you may think it is.' she defended herself. This girl had a lot of nerve-even more than Ariadne herself a few years ago, Gryffindor as she was. Keeping that train of thought, the fifth year wondered out loud: 'You don't happen to be a Gryffindor?' The girl didn't seem a day over twelve and since Ari had been at Beauxbatons the year before, she wouldn't have known if they were housemates.

'Ah, yes, this. It's just a letter. But I'd like to keep it safe, nevertheless.' Well, that wasn't a lie, but the envelope contained something more than an ordinary letter. She needed to show that picture to her Head of House to find out what she thought of it. 'Good idea.' the older girl nodded when her new friend suggested getting a trolley. She had to suppress a smirk when the girl stood taller. It reminded Ariadne of herself in her first years. She had always thought she was too short for her age, but not anymore.

Pluto loved being pampered and continued to purr louder. 'Hey, I can't even hear our friend here!' Ari admonished him, laughing. 'Lovely to meet you, Cassia. I hope I heard your name correctly.' Ariadne chuckled. 'You can call me Ari if you want, most people do.' The girl observed how fond of Pluto Cassia was, and had to ask: 'Are you not bringing a familiar to Hogwarts?' Not everyone had a pet in the castle, but it was still quite uncommon not to.

"You can, though I don't recommend having both at once again otherwise people might wonder if you're alright." he explained before looking around the station, noticing all the people wandering around which somehow didn't bring about the feeling of being watched again like it had in Diagon Alley; there still wasn't an explanation about why that had happened but he wasn't going to just bother thinking about that now when there were other things to deal with. "Maybe, I mean I'm not entirely observant at times especially when I'm thinking about a story." It wasn't exactly difficult to find her when she got her hair to have pink streaks in it but, most of the time he had been used to her randomly sneaking up on him so it had been quite justified. What hadn't been justified was why exactly Orion had been acting strangely, he didn't have any issues with the owl before so there shouldn't have been a reason where he was acting oddly but there was and he just couldn't have explained it. "Hmm true, honestly the amount of people that passed him in the shop had to be pretty crazy." Pausing slightly before he spoke again, it seemed like he needed a minute to collect his thoughts so that he could speak properly without just rambling on about nonsense. "Not at all. He only started acting like this since we had arrived at the station, it's like there's something weird here." He wasn't about to just start questioning what was wrong with the station when there wasn't a clear explanation to what it was exactly going on here.

Moving away from the conversation about his owl, he just seemed to relax rather than just being a tiny bit afraid that something was going on that couldn't be explained; chocolate seemed to just segue the earlier discussion and that had made him feel better. Once she commented on the boxes that he had brought out of his messenger bag, he couldn't help but grin at it since he knew exactly what was coming when the truth was mentioned. "Actually, the big box is the truffles; the others are the small chocolate owls and brooms that I had promised you earlier this summer." He hadn't brought the two foot owl with him since it would have been far too heavy to carry while waiting to board the Hogwarts Express, but that was still going to be given to her when he could have been able to get it from the shop. Offering the box of truffles to her, he waited for her to take some before she decided to make a rule about how the experiment was going to work which hadn't surprised him in all honesty. "That makes sense. You don't want to be bouncing around immediately but, I'm taking notes in case this turns out to be a joke." As far as he had known, this had worked properly and he ended up bouncing around like a kangaroo which had been pretty fun but it wouldn't have been good for just sitting on the train.

There was no way Kendall was going to let Patrick go back on his promise to give her chocolate, even if she was already half-hyper from the coffee earlier. She still wasn't going to let him not let her try the coffee-flavored chocolate, or let him stop their truffle experiment before it got started. It wasn't like her caffeine rush would affect the results, anyway. "Anyone who would wonder if I was alright doesn't know me anyway," she replied with a giggle. That was totally true. Jeremiah hadn't even come over to check on her right now during her minor hyperactivity, and she knew he wouldn't check on her after she'd added chocolate to the mix either. Besides, maybe they'd be on the train by the time the chocolate really hit her and he wouldn't be around to check on her. And Patrick had distracted her by talking about being distracted anyhow, so she'd stopped thinking about her brother. "You're thinking about a story," she asked. "Like about your superhero, or something else?" That was definitely almost as exciting as chocolate, even if he still hadn't given her any. Apparently they were going to try to figure out other stuff first, like why Orion was acting weird. Not evil, just kind of annoying. "He better not be trying to stop us from eating chocolate, 'sall I'm saying," she replied, shrugging as he'd agreed with her idea of the owl having been around a lot of people while in Eeylops. If that wasn't the reason for now, she didn't have any other theories. The owl just better not be trying to keep her from being silly.

She was going to anyway, so his owl just needed to get used to it. Especially as the conversation finally went back to the yummy chocolate and actually eating it. She'd grinned when he'd answered her question about the boxes, in any case, bouncing just the slightest bit on the toes of her combat boots. "So the little boxes are for me? Where's the big owl, though?," she asked. He better not have forgotten he'd promised that too. Or let someone sell it, because that would be bad. At least she'd be really disappointed, but before she could tell him that, the truffle box was held out to her. "Yep," she said, taking a couple truffles herself and eating them. "Do you think you'd still be able to take notes after we're actually bouncing off the walls?" They needed walls first, and she caught Jeremiah gesturing out of the corner of her eye. Glancing over, she saw that her trunk was gone, and then looked at the clock. Ooh, she thought, getting excited. Almost time to get on the train, which meant that there would actually be real walls to bounce off of. Once her and Patrick had eaten more truffles, of course. Right now she was still just working with her caffeine hyperness. Two truffles barely made a dent in that.
