Jasmine watched Bay interact with Lux and she knew that they were boyfriend and girlfriend even before he said so. They were too cute. Ooooh, he had a Pygmy puff. "Your Pygmy puff is cute. What's his name?". Jasmine loved the little critters and hoped to have one some day.



Addressing the younger girl, Jasmine said, "Yes, I'm new here". "This is my first year at Hogwarts. I'm a transfer fom Beauxbatons. I met Cris and Bay on the summer field trip to Peru."




Jasmine laughed when Cris said he thought she wouldn't come to Hogwarts after the Peru trip. "It takes more than some trolls and a little mud to scare me", she said. She was surprised when Cris started to get all nervous on her again. Giving him her most reassuring smile, Jasmine said, "In spite of all the craziness, I really enjoyed the trip and the company" "I hope that this year will be great and I can't wait to get started."

Both Bay and Cris had asked how she had spent the rest of the summer. "After the trip, I got a chance to visit family in California. It was great because I hadn't seen them for a while. After that, I just was just at home." The summer had gone by waaaay too fast for Jasmine.

Now he was starting to feel better, his girl and his friends in one small comfortable area. "ahhhh… much better" he said as he streched out his arms and put one around Lux. "Yeah, I'll write her and tell her you loved your surprise." watching her dig in made her smile.

"yeah totally Cris, I'm with you on that" he held out his fist for Cris to bump it, totally a dude thing but it was well deserved because he didn't like cucumber sandwiches either. "Oh…" he lowered his head to look at Ziggy as Jasmine was inquiring about him, picking him up he held Ziggy out for her. "His name is Ziggy, and he loves everyone" he smiled.

"I should have taken a nap, all the packing and getting ready took everything out of me" he told everyone as he gave a big yawn.

As Cris went on about the fact that she and Bay were dating and how Sander wanted a heads up on them kissing, Lux raised her brow. As much as she loved Sander, he really could be silly sometimes. Instead of commenting, she moved in closer to Bay as he put his arm around her. This was really nice and comfortable, and she loved sitting with her guy.

"Oh, please do that for me. I was just thinking that I would need to thank her." It was awesome when they thought along the same lines. The fist bump made her snort. "I tried getting Bay to eat a cucumber sandwich once.... BIIIIIG mistake." She would never be doing that again.

Taking another bite of her sandwich, Lux could not help but notice the way that Cris and Jasmine were interacting with each other. Was there something going on between? Subtly, she looked at Bay and raised her brow, silently inquiring if he got the same vibes from those two that she did. If Cris and Jasmine started dating, that would be nice; Lux thought that Cris was very nice even though she didn't know him that well yet.

"Well, that sounds like a very eventful trip, Cris. I really wish I could have gone, but I'm glad you all had fun on it." Honestly from the sounds of it, Lux was not sure if she would have made it back alive. Mountain Trolls, really? "I spent my summer hanging around with Bay and my friends. I had so much fun, though I did sprain my ankle once when I was walking around in heels, and it hurt." Not fun at all.

Curiously, she listened as Jasmine explained how she was a transfer from Beauxbatons. "I think you are going to love it here. Everyone is so nice, and there are lots of fun things to do." Lux was sure that Jasmine was going to love the school because most people did.

When Bay yawned and said he should have taken a nap, she bit her lip. "Well, if you fall asleep, I can always wake you at some point. I can make Toffy squeak in your ear." Haha! Joking because he had done that to her last term, having Ziggy scare her when she was lying down in the corridor. She would wake him up nicely because she was a good girlfriend.

Jasmine was feeling better and better about coming to Hogwarts. Lux mentioned how nice everyone was and that seemed to be the case so far. "Well if everyone is as nice as you all, I'm sure that I will have a great time."

Feeling hungry all of a sudden, Jasmine decided to go in search of food. "I think I'm going to stretch my legs a bit. I'm going to find the food trolley. Would anyone like anything? I can bring it back for you. Rising from her seat, Jasmine headed toward the door.

Penelope looked around for an empty compartment. She found an empty compartment, and sat down. She looked out the window for a minute. She hoped to make some friends at hogwarts. She pulled out a book and started to read it.

Candice was supposed to find a compartment, an empty one is better. She didn't know that its this hard to find one. She should have abroad the train sooner if that grasshopper girl didn't block her way.

Hmmpph.

Now lets hope this one is empty. "Behind door number one?" NONE. Nada. Zero. Its empty. You did it Candice Messer. You finally get yourself an empty for compartment for you and for Latte, the Kneazle, who already marked her territory in one of the seat in the compartment while she took the other one.

Ana had gotten restless as the train journey continued, not even her book could distract her and so she had decided to take a walk of the train to stretch her legs, maybe see if she couldn't find some other people to catch up with.

The movement of the train however made walking in heels a tiny bit difficult and she began to rethink her outfit choice, especially when the train jerked slightly and Ana lost her balance, falling against a compartment door. Hopefully no one had seen her...

Abby was looking for somewhere to sit she saw her two sisters in a compartment and decided to sit elsewhere seeing an older girl on her own and she peeked into the compartment and said "Hey mind if i join you" Abby hated not knowing many people before she started at school

Ascanius couldn't tell if Nigel was excited about the windmill or not, yeah? 'Cause he thought it was pretty cool for reasons. But he didn't dare press it 'cause they got on the topic of the band and Ascanius was properly distracted.

"Mate, that would be amazing, y'know? I wanna do that. Tour, I mean." Not that they were ready to do any of that. West and Vesper were starting to really make some strides in the music writing department, so Ascanius wasn't stressed about that, yeah? What really held them back was time, money and fans. Though, if they are pretty. The fans will come.

That was how that quote went, yeah? Pfft.

He continued, "And, like, play big venues, the whole sheb-"

Young person. Young person had entered. Ascanius promptly shut his month and eyed this kid. Not only did he wanna bother them, but he wanted to sit with them too. Did he not see that they were busy? Apparently not.

And Nigel wasn't helping their cause at all. He just let the kid sit there. He got a glare, which probably was misconstrued as something else because of his attractive face. Sometimes being this good looking was a struggle.

His eyes flickered to the kid, "Couldn't find a compartment?"

Umm?? Say what little child? "You want to join me in leaning up against a compartment door?" Ana asked slowly as she looked down at the girl. She supposed the girl could do that if she wanted. It was a free country and Ana couldn't stop her.

Abby looked at the girl and blushed and said "Sorry i thought that you were in a compartment and not leaning against the door, do you need a hand" Abby thought that the girl had fallen and wanted to help her back to her feet

"It's fine," Ana said dismissively, pushing herself away from the door so she was standing upright. "You can join me inside the compartment though I suppose," she added, opening the door and indicating for the kid to go inside what had thankfully been an empty compartment.

Abby smiled at the girl and said "Thanks, this is all pretty new for me, I am Abby" Abby was calm unlike her sister Angel she was all the cool headed one when it came to exciting times

"Anastasia Mikhailovna," Ana responded, following the customs for introductions that she'd gotten back into the habit of over the break as she followed Abby into the compartment. "So you're a firstie then?" seemed like the girl really was still just a child. Although at least she wasn't as excitable as the kid in QQS. That had been a new experience.

Abby smiled at Anastasia and said "Yeah i am a first year and do you have any nicknames to call you by" Abby knew that Anastasia was a bit of a mouthful to say all the time

Yeah. Definitely a child still. "Ana, I suppose. That's what everyone over here seems to shorten it to in any case." At home people were more likely to call her Stasya rather than Ana and it was a little strange responding to her English nickname after having been at home for the majority of the break but she'd best get used to answering to the name again.

"So are you looking forward to Hogwarts Abby?" she asked as she took a seat in the compartment, giving the other girl a tiny smile.

Abby smiled at Ana and said "Yeah i am looking forward to Hogwarts thanks Ana, i am looking forward to seeing the castle" Abby thought that Ana was nice and hoped that many of the other Hogwarts students were just as nice

Oh good. There weren't many students yet which meant Jun could travel around the train with ease. For now, at least. Looking into all the compartments, he frowned. No wonder the corridors where empty. Everyone had already snagged compartments. Ugh. With his ferret on his shoulder, Jun kept walking around and looking for one that was at least somewhat empty. Finding one, he opened the door, walked in, and slid it closed.

"Mind if I join you? Too many are almost full," And he didn't do well with crowded, small, places. Like Char.

Lucy was feeling a little excited after having told her story to her new friend, so she decided to move her legs..She was hungry!..She wanted to walk to the "snack lady" for some candies..As she passed in the middle cars she saw a girl about her age who was reading in the compartment. She was a bit curious and she opened the door, looking into the compartment, she said:"Hello! What are you reading?Are you learning a spell?" "I'm Lucy, a first year and you?"

Today was a happy yet sad day. Happy because Abbi would be able to finally see all the people she had missed, but sad because the summer and time for being as lazy as anything was over. There were definitely mixed feels inside Abbi's thoughts, but she never did like to display eh-ness and therefore a big genuine-bright smile was worn wide across her face as she and Whiskers boarded the train.

This year she'd enter the first compartment with space, that was her choice. Otherwise it tended to take forever to find a completely empty one, and why have a compartment to yourself when you could be talking to people and SOCIALIZING. See much better to share, wasn't it?

Well the first compartment was completely full but as for the second, HELLO FIRSTIE THING. The third year opened the door and entered inside placing her things opposite towards the tiny looking girl. Whiskers, the tabby cat, followed not long after and ended up laying flat out on Abbi's backpack that was now by the window seat.

"Mind if I sit?" Sort of too late to say no though, cause plonk Abbi sat down.

Cris listened as Jasmine replied to both Bay and Lux's questions. He was glad that his two friends had welcomed her into their fold of friends. Cris had to admit he knew how it felt to go to a place not knowing anyone and was actually relieved to know that he would have Sander's friends here at Hogwarts.

He perked up when Jasmine mentioned that she had visited family in California. "You have family in California? Which part?" he quickly asked her. "My family and I have been there a couple of times. I especially love San Diego because of its Sea World and its Zoo and the Wildlife Park. The Muggle Creature Parks there are great," he told Jasmine immediately thinking about the sealife and animals at the creature parks.



Cris then bumped fists with Bay and grinned when Bay agreed with him on his dislike of cucumber sandwhiches. He smiled when Bay introduced Ziggy to Jasmine. They, too, had a Pygmy Puff, courtesy from someone who had asked his brother to take care of it at the beginning of his term.

....and then he began to chuckle when Bay yawned.

"Aren't you over that aging sickness yet, Bay?" Cris laughed at his friend. "I remember Sander mentioning that you kept catching naps all over the place, all the time when you guys were afflicted with that aging sickness at Hogwarts."



Cris grimaced in empathy when he heard Lux had sprained her ankle. "Ouch! Sorry to hear that. I remember when Elin wore heels for the first time. At one point she started running, got one heel stuck in a hole and went flying. Thank goodness she didn't have far to fall. She wasn't seriously hurt though, thank goodness for that," he told everyone.



It was then Cris realized that throughout their conversations in the compartment, he had forgotten to mention to Jasmine whom Sander, Elin and the other people he had mentioned were. Foolishly, he had automatically assumed that everyone would know who they were. He was going to rectify his mistake when to his dismay, Jasmine stood up.

He berated himself for his rudeness and upset with himself, all he could do was silently shake his head when she asked whether they needed anything from the Food Trolley before leaving.

He watched her leave before turning to look at his other friends. He waited for a couple of minutes before quickly standing up himself. "Um....I think that I'm going to take a walk too and stretch my legs. I'll see you guys in a bit," he told the others before heading out the compartment.



As he left the compartment, he peeked into the next one and was surprised to see a young girl sitting alone by herself, reading.

'[i]No...no...she can't be alone. Not on her first ride on the train and definitely not on her first time as a student of Hogwarts,[i]' Cris thought to himself.

Walking in, he smiled at the girl. "Hello, I'm Cris. I was wondering whether you'd like to join us in the next compartment? My friends and I are in that one. We'd love to have you join us....I mean that's unless you'd rather be alone right now," he quickly corrected himself. Maybe the girl did prefer to be alone.

"I'm headed off to the Food Trolley for a bit, but I'll pop over to my friends right now and let them know to expect you, if you decide to join us," Cris warmly smiled at the girl before leaving her compartment.

Giving her some time to decide, Cris popped his head back into the compartment where Bay and Lux were sitting. "Hey guys I hope you don't mind that I've invited someone to join us. She hasn't said she will yet, but I just wanted to let you know if she does come over. I'll see you in a bit," he told both his friends before he headed off to look for Jasmine.

Marisol held her breath as she walked into a compartment. She had been hoping for one that wasn't empty. The first year was not a solitary one, and she felt more comfortable when she was with someone else. To her relief there were two girls already inside the compartment.
She began to recite her heavily practiced speech.
"Hello, I am Marisol. First year. Sit?" Darn it, that sounded stupid and rushed. Well, it wasn't her fault. She'd only moved to Scotland a week ago! Hogwarts was in Scotland, so it was kind of pointless to go to England and take a train back. However, she didn't know where Hogwarts was.

Candice was enjoying the peace and quite compartment. Its fun to have the compartment for herself. She hoped that she got this compartment for herself till they arrived in Hogwarts.

But unfortunately for her, luck was not on her side today. Someone entered her compartment. Before she could even answer her question, the girl already sat down and even her cat already laying there. "Well, you already sitting there." Shrug. Even though she really wanted to say that she's mind to have her here in her compartment but whatever.

Lucy smiled at the girl who was just entered in her compartment."Hello!, I'm Lucy! I'm a first year too!You have a very nice name!I have took the name from my grandmother "Lucia" who was Italian..but I was born in London..Where are you born?When I'm boarded on the train, I'm was feeling like a fish out a water but now that I talk to you I'm relaxing!"

Exactly. Heh. See she was a master genius at planning these sort of things.

With a innocent smile, Abbi looked at the younger girl and nodded abruptly. "Thank you....?" A name maybe? Cause she was clearly new and clearly a firstie from her height and all. You could tell immediately.

Maybe if she started the introductions the girl would warm up some? Worth a try.

"I'm Abbi. Third year, Gryffindor." Smiley wiley. SEE. Her company was jovial. "You? Or well what house do you want to be in?"
