Leah walked out of her compartment for some snack. Just the thought of having cauldron cakes warmed her up and the second year quickened her steps to the food trolley.

"Excuse me," she muttered, as she bumped into a boy about her age. Leah was trying to avoid hitting him and causing trouble, but there were other people in this corridor after all.

Aaaaand someone did it. He was jostled sideways by some... oh it was a laaaady. A smirk stretched his lips as he pulled his hands from his pockets.

" No worries, love. Accidents happen." And man she was pretty. Yowza. "I'm Silas McLaggen. What's your name? "

How lame was that? Ugh. SMILES FOR THE PRETTY GIRL THOUGH.

Bay started to laugh.. "ahahah then she wouldn't be wearing any shoes?" he said while looking over at the girl that Lux said her name was Nola, that was a very nice name. "Very nice to meet------" "do I like flowers??" Bay thought.. "hmmmm yeah sure." he smiled as he put his arm around Lux.

"wait, whats wrong with the shoe laces??" he asked with his eyebrow raised, what was Lux getting into here. Maybe he should wait to make the shoes bigger, he wanted to know what was going on.

Seeing that Rom was just standing by them he thought he was being very rude. "sorry Rom, this here" he pointed to Lux as she was under his arm "is Lux Carrington, my girlfriend… and this over here I believe is her new friend Nola.. its Nola right?" he confirmed. nothing wrong with getting introductions over and done with right.

Bays eyes widened… "four years, man I must have been out of it last year? I'm going to blame it on being old.. yup.." he said laughing, well he knew him now so he won't forget the face.

Bay made a pretty good point, Lux thought as she slowly took off the shoes she was wearing. Now they could see her adorable white socks with little kittens on them. Weren't they just the cutest? Wiggling her feet a little, she grinned at him. "If Nola has a problem, I can join her in not wearing shoes today." See?? She was a good friend and since it wasn't winter yet, she was pretty sure her feet wouldn't get too cold.

"Well, the shoelaces are cursed," she went on to explain to Bay using the most appropriate words she could. "They are what made Nola faceplant on the floor." Lux knew this was true, because she had seen it happen with her very own eyes.

As introductions were made, she waved at the boy named Rom. "Hello there, Rom!" Silly her for not thinking of introducing herself earlier, but then all the chaos had distracted her. "Yes, this is Nola. She is my new friend."

Bryant climbed aboard the train, pulling his trunk and kneazle carrier along with him. Sure he knew there was a luggage compartment, but the American didn't completely trust everyone yet seeing as he'd never had class with any of them and only knew two girls from the school. He stumbled along until he got to a clear part of the corridor and set off in search of a seat.

"Pardon me...'scuse me." He said, weaving his way along the train as it started to move, leaving the station and London behind. Finally, he found an empty compartment and grabbed a seat, tossing his trunk up on the luggage rack and letting his kneazle, Murphy, out to explore the compartment a bit.

There it goes again. Leah was used to boys starting a conversation with her every time she bumped into them, but she was HUNGRY right now. She turned around, and stopped. Because this boy was cute, that's why.

"Thanks for understanding, Silas. My name is Leah Abbott." she returned the smile. "I don't recall seeing you last term, what year are you in?" Leah asked.
