Front Cars The driver and snack lady sit waaaaaay up front in the driver's cab, but there are plenty of other compartments up here! Careful you don't sit in the Prefects' cab though. They bite. |
for anyone~ :3 Ellinia clutched her snow globe close to her chest as she peered through the compartment doors. Hogwarts. She had never thought that would happen. Ellinia had spent most of the summer helping her parents move into the new house after moving from California. She had not been expecting to move anywhere remotely close the magical school at all. Nope. She didn't even know that she would be moving here. If she was supposed to go to a magic school, she was pretty sure she would've ended up in Salem. Because surely that school was closer than a whole ocean. Nope. She ended up moving across that ocean and large land mass and ending up here. She was on a train. A magic train. And it was going to be a magic school. Magic. Ellinia Calypso Lexington had magic. She had not been expecting that all. Cradling the snow globe carefully under one arm, Ellinia slid open a door to an empty compartment and sat down. She placed the snow globe on her lap before shaking it. The snowy white glitter sparkled before it landed on a castle. The Hogwarts castle. Her mommy had given her that as a good luck present for her first year away. And it was sparkly. Oooh... snow... |

SPOILER!!: You two! Now Leah and her kneazle made their way to the front of the train, and randomly peeked through a door. It seemed vacant at first, but a closer look told her that there were two girls in there, probably introducing themselves. The second year skipped into this scene. "Hello, do you mind if I sit down?" She pointed at the seat opposite them. "I hope I wasn't interrupting," she apologized, "Er... I'm Leah, second year, and this is my kneazle, Filomena." Leah thought that it was not right to stay quiet when one girl was introducing herself already. "Nice snow globe you have there." She commented. |
SPOILER!!: you two lovelies ♥ Ellinia looked up from her snow globe when she heard the intruder speak. Eyes wide in surprise she didn't know what to say. Instead, she jumped slightly in her seat before standing and smoothing out her clothes with one hand. If they could even be considered clothes - she was wearing her first year robes. Her mommy had said they would be pretty and magic-y. Ellinia just found them itchy. "T-thank you," Ellinia muttered, shaking the girl's hand. WAS HER HAND SWEATY? She really hoped not. The girl quickly sat back down and placed her snow globe back on her lap, causing the fake snow in the globe to spin around before settling slowly. "I'm Ellinia and I'm also a... uh... f-first year," she said, giving the girl a small smile. People were talking to her. That was weird. Hogwarts people were nice like her mommy had said. She held her snow globe a little bit closer when she heard the door open. Another person was here. Was she popular now? Was it the snow globes? She knew her sisters were wrong when they said that she'd be weird if she kept carrying around a snow globe. "Oh, uh, no, please sit down," Ellinia said, gesturing to a seat before quickly grabbing her snow globe. She didn't want it to flop and crash to the ground. That would be horrible. And the girl had a kitty. Except the girl called it a kneazle. What was a kneazle? Was it a common thing? She'd pretend it was. "I'm Ellinia," she said. "It's nice to meet you," Ellinia added quickly. Because the girl was older. This Leah was a second year. That meant she had been at the school for two years. So it would be manners. Right? "That's a really nice kneazle," she said. |

Derry was pretty unimpressed with today, Hugo had woken her up at stupid o'clock, and then she'd spent hours waiting around for her dad to take her down to London... which he hadn't. Her parents had both been pre-occupied and things were running over and she was getting later and later... So she'd come by herself in the end. Not impressed. Her last year at Hogwarts and she'd come to the station by herself. Great. She got her trunk on the train, then searched for an empty compartment. It didn't take her long, and she hadn't had to scowl at anyone for being in the way yet, so at least that was a small victory. She found a compartment and closed the door behind her, chucking her bag on a chair and falling heavily into one of the seats by the window. Well, at least she was sat down now. Derry grabbed one of her lollipops from her bag and unwrapped it quickly, hiding the rest of them. She wasn't in the mood to share sweets today, people. Not in the mood. Grump. Huff. Grr. Time to stare out the window dramatically and attempt relaxing. |

Carrying his trunk along, Caleb looked for an empty compartment but most of them seemed to be full already. Blehhh. That meant he had to SHARE. A few compartments later, however, he noticed a familiar face and slid open the door. "Hey Derry! Mind if I join you?" Caleb asked his fellow snake and Quidditch teammate. She didn't look too...erm...ENERGIZED today, if that was the right word for it. Ah well, she would surely cheer up in the company of his awesomeness, yeah? |
Quote:
She closed her eyes and leaned her head back, wishing they could just get going already. It felt stupid to come down to London just to head all the way back up to Scotland again, but at least she'd see her friends... probably... if they turned up... though to be honest it was probably her fault for not looking for them. But she still had gifts to give them from her travels. Eh, oh well. Derry's eyes snapped open when she heard the door go and she crunched the rest of her lollipop. Oh... "Hey, Caleb." she said, smiling a little at the boy. "Yeah, sure, sit down, it's fine." She sat up a bit so she wasn't spread out over three seats - thank you lanky legs - and chucked her bag on the floor. "You alright?" |

Play wiff me? :3 Gary was not pleased. NOT pleased at all. As he found himself an empty compartment after pushing some people off his way, he was wondering why his parents always insisted that he took the train to the school every year. The train was filthy and it was full of annoying people. Always crowded. Gary hated crowded places. Really, did he have to suffer this twice every year? Was not there any transportation service to take him to the school? He bet there would be even if such a thing didn't exist if you paid enough for it. Sighing his frustration out. The Slytherin boy tried to get more comfortable on the filthy compartment seat of the filthy train. As he did so, his eyes met his, kind of small yet vicious looking owl with a sharp beak, owl's who seemed to be glaring at the people outside the compartment, reflecting her owner's mood. Meh... |
Penelope walked around, looking for a compartment to sit in. Spotting a compartment with a few girls who looked her age, she entered the compartment. "Hi, I'm Penelope. Can I join you?" she asked, looking around the compartment. One of the girls had a Hogwarts snow globe. "That's a pretty snow globe," she said. |

For Anyone :3 The time had finally arrived! Valon was that much closer to stepping on Hogwarts grounds. Leaving his mother was the toughest part of all this, not because he was going to miss her but because he didn't want her to be alone. They were still new to England, after all. After securing his trunks he made his way to the compartments, there were crowds of people and all he wanted was a place to sit and probably read a book or play with his cat, Gatinho. Looking left and right compartments were filling up quick! My goodness there were lots of people here. The new soon-to-be Hogwartian spotted a compartment, upon all the chatter going on around him he smiled and settled for the empty compartment. First things first, Valon arranged his carry-on next to him and placed his cat on his lap. Sighing and feeling a tad bit nervous all of sudden, the sixteen year old looked out the window and traced his name on it. |

A girl with bright red hair had scoured the train thus far and hadn't found a compartment yet that she could sit in. She was throwing glances into the windows. Each so far was full, or was occupied by someone she knew she did not get along with. She passed one compartment that was empty except for one boy, and she thought she spotted a cage. Kanna backtracked, unsure if she wanted to venture further down the train and risk being crammed into a compartment. Tapping politely on the glass, she poked her head in, pulling her shoulder bag close to hers o people could still walk by. "Excuse me," she said, "May I join you?". She did not recognize the boy, which she liked, but he did not appear to be the most jovial right now, which discouraged her. She was ready to politely nod and leave, something that she needed to be ready to do more often. |
The compartment she had entered was getting crowded. Too crowded for Penelope. She exited the compartment and went to find a compartment with fewer people in it. Most of the compartments were full, but she found a compartment with two other people in it and entered the compartment. "Hi, I'm Penelope. I'm a first year," she said, "What are your names?" |
After spending the majority of the Summer holiday away from England Ana had been happy to return to spend the few weeks left of Summer holidays with her boyfriend. She was even happier now though to be settled on the train back to Hogwarts. It was her sixth year and Ana had been delighted that her mother had kept her promise and not pulled her from the school to send her back to Durmstrang, despite the fact that her first school would always hold a special place in her heart. Ana had managed to lose Terry somewhere in the mass of students and parents on the platform but she wasn't unduly worried about it. She'd see him at school if not beforehand and she didn't mind sitting by herself. Maybe she'd even see some friends on the train? Who knew. Entering the front cars Ana found an empty compartment and dropped down inside it, leaving the door open in case anyone needed to join her, getting out a book to read on the journey. |
Quote:
As she reached the front of the train, she saw her good friend Ana sitting alone in one of the compartments, which made her smile because Ana was awesome. Heading over to the doorway, she stood in the threshold, knowing that the polite thing to do would be to ask to join instead of randomly walking in and sitting down. "Hey, Ana. Mind if I join you?" |
Quote:
Just as Ana finished the chapter a voice interrupted her reading and she looked up, a welcoming smile on her lips. "Of course you can Lux," she said warmly, happy to see the younger girl again. "You don't need to ask," she added, as she marked her spot in the book with a piece of ribbon before putting it down on the seat next to her so that she could give her friend her full attention. |
Quote:
Stretching her legs out in front of her, Lux got herself comfortable on the seat. "So you excited to go back? Where is Terry?" She had not spoken much to him, and always felt that it would be great to get to know him better. Hopefully that would happen this term, and no one else would start ageing again because that would be dreadful. Once was enough, and Lux never wanted to witness it again. Things at Hogwarts were going to be perfect, she kept telling herself. |
Quote:
"I am pretty excited. I can't wait to see people again and all that, although I do hope this year I wont be forced to look like my Babushka because some healers are idiots and don't run tests before deciding to give people new cures," she added, frowning at the thought of all the aches and pains she'd had to suffer through, as well as at the broken ribs since her bones had been more brittle than they would normally be. At least the experience had cured her of her fear of the healer though. "As for Terry I don't know. I lost him in the crowd earlier and figured we'd find each other eventually," she told Lux, waving her hand slightly to indicate her indifference. It wasn't that she wouldn't love to be spending time with Terry, because she would, but time apart could also be good especially since they'd been living in each others pockets for the past few weeks and she didn't want him to start to think that she was clingy or anything. "What about you? Looking forward to third year? And where is Bay? I haven't had the chance to see him in ages." She'd been going to attempt to arrange a meet up with him last week but then Terry had surprised her with a trip to Cornwall and she hadn't had the time. |
Griffin, i suppose u are talking bout us. If not pardon me. Quote:
He was annoyed. And when he heard the tapping on the compartment door, he was even more annoyed. What did they want? With a deep frown on his face, Gary stared at the girl who just...asked if she could join her. The Slytherin boy eyed the girl from head to feet. She didn't look stupid, like a mess or whatever he didn't like. And actually...she could be considered a pretty girl, so why not? Plus if he couldn't sleep, having a conversation with a girl could make the journey kind of bearable. He gave her a polite a nod and shifted his gaze on his owl. "Careful with the bird, though." Quote:
"What do you want?" Gareth told the little one curtly |
Quote:
"So, ready for your last year?" he asked with a small smile. He wasn't sure if she was upset about leaving or excited - it was always one or the other with seventh years, it seemed. |
