Lana was skipping. Well, as much as you could skip on a moving train. It was somewhat difficult, but that wasn't going to stop her. She just stumbled every few steps and went right back to skipping.

She wasn't sure where she was headed, and she thought she should probably find a place to sit and enjoy her first ride to Hogwarts... but this seemed like much more fun. So she continued down the corridor, holding the straps on her backpack to keep it from bouncing when she did.

Tessa was moving down the corridor, trying to take everything in without bumping into anyone. She changed a glance out the window and smiled. She had been to many schools, and many places, but this was different.

She saw a young student approaching and tried to move to the side as the train bounced along the tracks. "Do you have enough room to get by?" she asked, as the student approached.

Victor was moving down the train looking for empty compartments. He had said a lot of "excuse me's" and "sorry's" he hated bumping into people, he felt like it was an invasion of personal space.

but…nope he had to bump into another person.. correction another small person. "Great am I here to injure everyone, way to go Bay" he said quietly. Just as those words escaped his mouth his fathers pocket watch fell out of his pocket and landed on the floor.

OHH… he is such a scatter brain, yes there was a small person. "uhhh…. you okay there" talking while bending to pick up the watch.

Seriously missing her older sister and wishing she was there still, Lux made her way towards what appeared to be an empty compartment when she was suddenly knocked forward, almost falling.

Somehow, she managed to regain her balance before turning to see who had bumped into her. She knew it was a boy, from the voice, but he definitely looked as if he was older than her by a few years.

Watching him pick something that looked like a watch up from the floor, she nodded. "I am perfectly fine, thanks. Are you in a hurry or something?" He was lucky he was a boy, or she would have been really cross about being knocked into.

Great… phew he was so relieved that she was fine. "awesome, I'm glad that your alright…. and no not really its just I'm nervous around a lot of people" he stated while looking up and down the corridor.

"and there seems to be a lot of people, which makes it difficult to find a compartment" he commented.

"Oh and I'm Bay by the way and who would you be?"

Bri was trying to walking along the corridor trying to find an empty compartment, or maybe see some one she may of recognize at Diagon Alley. It was quite crowded and the shy girl was slightly overwhelmed seeing all the other students. She could help but started to get equal excited and nervous.... a few more hours and she will be at Hogwarts, and learning how to be a witch!

Oh, well. Lux smiled weakly at the boy. He seemed alright really even though he clearly had issues with social situations. "So you are just really shy?" The concept of being shy was a little strange to her since she was such an outgoing person. "But don't you have a lot of friends?" If he didn't have friends waiting for him, maybe he could sit with her; unless he had an issue with hanging around someone who was in their Second Year.

"Nice to meet you, I am Lux!"

Bay chuckled at being asked if he was shy. "no, not really shy its more of a claustrophobic thing. To many people all in one space… its just…" he exhaled. "I don't know why I'm like that its just been like that forever." he laughed at his own craziness.

"I met one person while I was adopting my new Pygmy Puff Ziggy" he said. "but this is my first time at Hogwarts, my mum---mother home schooled me" wow he must really look like a winner right now admitting to himself.

"Oh, thats a very nice name.. defiantly won't be forgetting that."

"so erm…. I'm looking for a compartment, and i assume that your doing the same.. did you want to look together?" asking while trying to not sound too creepy, he didn't want to scare away a new friend even though Lux seemed a lot younger than him.

Marigold almost bumped into another student, then promptly bumped into a compartment door. Mouthing an apology for the people occupying it, she continued walking through the train. She wanted to find someone she knew and chat a bit.

Closawhoawhat?

Blinking at him, Lux had no idea what he was talking about. Nodding slowly, she tried to smile at him more as if that would help him to feel better about whatever the problem was. At least he did not seem crazy, which was always a plus.

It was another plus that he was also new to Hogwarts like she was. "I am new to Hogwarts too! I hadn't wanted to go for my First Year, so I was home schooled. But I got bored of it, so I decided to come this year." And now she was missing her sister even though she was probably the most girly female she had ever known in her whole 12 years of existence. "Can I see your Pygmy Puff?" She had never had one before, so she was curious.

"Thank you. Is your name really Bay?" Because that was one odd first name if it was; not that she would ever say that to him. Odd first names were cool, but maybe Bay was his last name and he had an even stranger first name.

Nodding again, she smiled a little more. "That sounds like a good idea." Bay seemed like a nice guy, after all.

Christmas was walking up the train corridor which was getting packed and she bumped into a younger boy who looked about 15 or so and said "Sorry the corridors on this train are always so small and get packed easily"

Tessa couldn't believe how quickly the corridor had filled up. She was simply trying to find a compartment, but instead she had been jostled and jumbled by passing students who seemed to know just where they were going.

She hated being a transfer.

If only she could fly over all of these people... that would have made things so much easier. But, sadly, her broom was securely packed away and there wasn't any room above the students' heads to fly anyway.

Distracted, she nearly bumped into a small group in front of her. "Sorry!" she said, catching herself. "Close call there, any of you know where an empty compartment is?" she asked, brushing back her multi-colored hair.

Asher was excited. He was going back to Hogwarts, again. After missing last term, which was his fault. Yeah, Italy seem fun to go back to and the school there was Okay, it just wasn't London, or Hogwarts.

Although it was the Slytherins seventh year, he was excited. And where else would be better that Hogwarts to spend his last term. Right back where he started from. He was so happy he could sing. But he wouldn't just for the sake of everyone around him. didn't want to make anyone jealous

His stomach started to growl. He looked down and held it. He needed to get to the food trolley and fast. Before the noise got louder and people started staring at him.

So Bart was on the train. He was on the train to Hogwarts. Now what? He looked up and down the corridor well then where was Brynny and where was Luc. This was turning out nicely everyone was just gone. Oh well he'd find something to do now wouldn't he. Maybe he would rearrange peoples trunks or something in that luggage area. That could be fun. People searching in the wrong places for their stuff.

He was bored already. The train hadn't even left yet an he was bored. This wasn't a good thing. Maybe he'd practice his ninja moves since you know he was a ninja. Ninja Bartman that was a perfect sounding name. Now time to be all ninja like and explore this train there had to be something fun to do here. What to do? What to do?

Could you climb out? That might be fun to try and train surf. He wondered if anyone had tried that before and started looking up for an opening. Why not there was nothing better to do.

"oh thats awesome Lux we were both home schooled, so thats one thing we have in common." laughing and more people seemed to be coming there way.

Bay turned around and bent down so Lux could take Ziggy out of his hoodie. "Sorry he likes to hang in my hood, its pretty bad because some times i forget he's in there. He loves girls so go ahead a pick him up" crouched on the balls of his feet he tried to keep his balance.

"Oh, no sorry its just habit… my names Victor, last name is Bay but everyone just calls me Bay… kinda sticks to ya, you know." he stood up and started to turn around.


Another bump. Bay turned around to look at a beautiful face. he was lost for words.. "ermm… 'tis oookkka..yyy." he managed to spit out. He immediately looked over at Lux, he started to feel more comfortable with her… he gave her a look that said "Did I just really do that"



More bumping… okay they really needed to get out of the corridor. "I believe there is one two doors down that will fit all of us." he commented, really hoping the other girl with nice eyes would be joining them.


He saw one more student around in the area and he yelled to her, he didn't want to get her trampled in the corridors like what was happening to them currently. "Hey….. you… theres an empty compartment just to your left, would you like to join us?" he asked.

Christmas smiled at the boy and said "As long as there is no harm done" Christmas wanted to get out of the corridor before it got anymore packed with other students trying to find a compartment

Bri spun around to look at the boy, who looked to be a few years older than her self, yelling to her." He was with a small group of other students.

Bri smiled at them as she headed towards the compartment the boy indicated. "Sure" She said " If you all don't mind"

"Oh my goodness." They were really getting quite a jostling and she was getting tired of it. "Lead the way," she called over the commotion of the corridor. This train really was quite chaotic, but every school had its way.

"How many of us are there? I'll keep an eye out in case the one you're thinking is full," she said, already looking around.

It made Lux happy to know that she was making a new friend on her first ride to school, and even happier that said friend was a boy who was also new to the school. "I'm just worried that I will get lost at Hogwarts," she admitted before reaching out to take a hold of his Pygmy Puff. "Oooh, he is so soft!" And also cute. She really did not mind Pygmy Puffs even if they seemed a rather girly pet to some. Suddenly she found herself wanting one.

"Well, I shall just call you Bay then!" If that was what everyone else did and it seemed to suit him better than his first name did. It was also a nicer name in her opinion, but she was not going to be rude, because she did like him.

Out of nowhere, an older looking girl bumped into Bay, and then another girl almost bumped into the both of them. Goodness, this corridor was a dangerous place to be! Nodding, she smiled weakly at the girls as yet another girl appeared. This one seemed to be even younger than her."Hi, I'm Lux!"

"Hey Lux," Tessa said, flashing the girl a grin. "I'm Tessa- I would introduce myself further, but I think we should all find somewhere to sit first," she said with a laugh. She blocked the younger girl from a few students who seemed blind to anyone else around them. "You alright?" she asked, keeping an eye out for anyone else that seemed at risk for bumping into their group.

The train corridor was packed with students. Leah squeezed her way through and looked for people she recognized. She hoped she didn't get lost in here, though. The first year was indeed excited to go to Hogwarts, but now the problem was to find a compartment and get seated, and know more friends, of course.

Adi was immediately intrigued about the sports camp but before he could say anything the Train pulled up. Now that they had boarded it, he had a chance to resume their conversation. "Now a sports camp has got to be the best way to spend the summer,'' he said. He approved of this one hundred percent. "How was the football? I'm glad to see you return in one piece.'' The second year grinned. He knew that sport could get rough. Oh, the guitar. "I started at the end of last term. You remember that other guy Dylan? The one we hung out with at that first prefect event? He started to teach me so my parents got me a tutor over the summer. I'm not too good as yet, though.'' But he'll get there.

"Dude, you had the best summer ever!'' A cruise? That was so cool! "How was it? How long did it take to get there?'' Adi won't admit it but he was slightly afraid of huge bodies of water. The Lake at Hogwarts was okay but the vast sea? Nuh uh. That was scary. "Oh, as soon as you see any free compartment, let's just grab it. It's so crowded here.'' Indeed it was. Adi had to maneuver all over so as to not collide with anyone. "Did you see Marigold as yet?'' he asked as casually as he could. He had sort of figured out something about those two.

Hope felt short at times, mostly only when she passed an older looking student and there were A LOT of students. She never realized just how many people she would be around. She silently prayed that they weren't all as amazing as she was. She didn't do well with competition...it brought an ugly side to her. She pulled her trunk behind her and had a ball of fluff resting on her shoulder. Poppy was her purple pygmy puff that her mother thought would be a 'good pet' for a young girl venturing out to a new place. The only thing she could say about the fluff ball was that it had annoyed her yet, hence it's place on her shoulder and the fact that it was still...alive.

Oh. That girl was talking to her, wasn't she? Lana stopped mid-skip and slowly lowered the leg that was skipping. A smile quickly made its way to her face.

"I can get by," she answered cheerfully. Though now, it wasn't her top priority. Not when she'd been silent for what had to be ten minutes now and her voice was getting impatient. "Do you need help with something? I don't know if I could help, but I think I'd like to try, anyway." Of course. Why not?

...Oh. There were a lot of people around now. Lana turned toward them and gave a smile.
