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.
Tabitha was more than a sister to Ruby, she was her best friend, her support, her shoulder to cry on and someone to protect her when she needed it. Ruby didn't like change, she liked order and familiarity just like her father. She craved the knowledge that the school would provide her but feared the unknown. Hogwarts could either give her the best years of her life or leave her wanting to go home. She knew that in a couple of years time her cousins would start joining her at the school, followed by her brothers. It would be a family affair and she’d have all the support she needed. In fact it was she that would have to provide the comfort to the younger ones. Felix would be first and he was even shyer than herself sometimes.
They were barely making their way out of London but Ruby already missed her father’s bony cuddles and her mother’s kind words. She even missed her brothers playing up for her parents. She snuggled closer to Tabby as she pushed those thoughts out of her head and tried to look forward to what was to come.
She held out her pinky in return and wrapped it around the blondes finger. “Sisters first. Everyone else second” she spoke although it came out as more of a question than a statement. Ruby would be devastated if Tabby found someone she liked more than Ruby but she wasn't the sort to retaliate against it. She had noticed her sisters tears but also noted how quickly she had tried to hide them. Tabby was the best big sister that a girl could ask for.
Ruby knew that she lacked in the criteria for Slytherin and so she would have to get used to being all alone. Even if she begged the sorting hat to put her there once she was in she knew that she’d find it intimidating. She wouldn't fit in to the house of the snakes, her father had even said that he didn't feel he belonged to Slytherin when he was there. But out of the common room Ruby would stay firmly by her older sisters side.
She glanced at Tabby’s cat whom was mewing in the cage. She stuck her fingers through the bars to tickle its little nose. Her owl was sat proudly on his post, watching over the sisters like he was their protector. “It's such a shame we couldn't bring Aslan and Oink” she attempted a little giggle. The family had so many pets but Aslan the Pygmy goat was her own and she had a special bond with the tricoloured male. Alas a goat was not on the list for recommended pets and she was sure it would be far too difficult to use one in transfiguration or even to get them on the train.
Ruby was such a sweet little snuggle bug. Tabitha took pride in being big sister and being the support and the one her baby siblings looked up to.
She curled her pinky around Ruby's. She nodded and smiled. “You wont be lonely as long as we're at school together.” It would also do Ruby good to have to be on her own like when she was in the common room, or in different classes. It had been a character building experience for sheltered Tabitha last year, to do all this alone. It may be even more so for shy little Ruby, who would be forced into situations she wouldn't normally put herself into.
Muffin was being a noisy little pest. She wasn't enjoying the train ride AT ALL. The small mew from within the cage was persistent. She stopped when Rubes petted her, her little nose sniffing at Ruby's fingers. Tabby giggled a little. “Aslan would have taken a liking to the grass on the Quidditch pitch I think.” And as for Oink.. “Oink sometimes smells horrible! I don't think the Slytherins would like him very much.” She beamed brightly, thinking about the little micro pig. “Daddy promised he would look after them both.” As long as he didn't need to go near the horses..
Horse phobia. Tabitha giggled at her dad endlessly for that one.

There was nervousness and excitement running through the small boy as he plopped himself down in an empty compartment. HE WAS GOING TO GO TO HOGWARTS! And while he had been sad to leave the family behind at the platform -- there had been NO need to cry, MUM -- the boy was all smiles as he took out the very VERY large amount of sweets he had been harbouring in his backpack.
Yep. This was going to be a one person sweets party.
...........
Or not.
Phillip had JUST managed to bite the head off of his chocolate frog -- AHAHA -- when he heard the sound of singing. The boy wrinkled his nose and stuffed the rest of the frog into his mouth before pressing the palms of his hands HARD against his ears. Bad singing. BAD. DON'T SING IF YOU'RE NOT--
Just when he thought that this journey couldn't get any more adventurous, a cat -- yeah, that's right, a CAT -- scampered into the compartment and then JUMPED UP ONTO HIS LAP only to be followed by....... a girl. The girl didn't sit on his lap -- THANKFULLY -- but she was in his compartment and looking triumphant. Er.
"Ijs dfjk jkfjkdfgj kjfldkls?"
Oh right. Chocolate. Chocolate in his mouth. Should have really swallowed that first.
Was 'Ijs dfjk jkfjkdfgj kjfldkls?' another language?
And what sort of greeting was that?
And oH WOW CHEESE PUFFS ON BANANA BOAT THERE WAS SOMEONE ELSE INSIDE THE COMPARTMENT.
Riley was not scared, don't even think that was a SECOND, but she was a liiiiiil' bit startled. "You," she said and pointed at the boy, but then found that she was composed once again and she didn't need to go on a rant about scaring people. Because that was obviously exactly what he'd been trying to do. But Riley Archer was not so easily scared.
"SORRY 'BOUT CHIP," she said, speaking over the beating sound of her heart in her ears before realising that he couldn't hear her heart -- probably -- and lowering her voice a tad. "Um, yeah, sorry 'bout Chip, he gets excited." Definitely not sick of her singing. "I'm Riley," she introduced herself with a toothy grin, before reaching over to grab Chip off his lap. She sat down opposite the boy and swung her legs. "Y'don't mind if I sit here, do ya?"

Ruby was supposed to be the wise one but Tabitha knew what to say to make her sister feel better. Tabby was also loud and confident and everything that Ruby longed to be. She was her role model and often the brunette felt overshadowed by her ‘perfect’ sister but never once did she resent her. She considered herself beyond lucky to have the blonde in her life.
Snuggled up to Tabby’s side and her head rested upon her shoulder, Ruby closed her eyes and thought about all the happy memories she was likely to make at school. “I know” she spoke softly. “You're my big sister AND my best friend.” Their mother had always commented that they were twins born fifteen months apart from one another and with opposite hair colours and differing personalities.
Watching the cat rubbing her side against the cage Ruby couldn't help the little smile that escaped her lips. The family had so many pets it had turned into more of a petting zoo than a family home. Their father had a soft spot for dogs and their mothers heart was so large that she fell in love with every animal she had the opportunity to adopt. The girls were lucky enough to be given their unusual pets in the form of a Pygmy goat and a micro pig as well as their school appropriate pets.
“Well at least they wouldn't need a lawnmower!” she giggled brightly. She could just imagine her little goat munching his way through the pitch slowly. It would take him an entire week, maybe even longer but that goat was persistent. As for the pig? “You could just blame that on one of the boys!” her giggle was even bigger now, almost musical. “I bet everyone would believe you.” Who wouldn't believe that innocent face with the bright blue eyes?
There hadn’t been any question where Brooklyn was going to sit, since she’d left her dad on the platform. He’d been the only one who came to see her off, since her mother was currently on a Muggle plane headed to go surprise Lily in New York. The redhead thought it was stupid, when it would have been easier to just use magical transportation, but she hadn’t had any say in the matter. It had left her disgruntled, possibly even more so than she normally was. Nobody had listened to her, but at least she’d escaped having to sit with her cousin. Dylan was elsewhere, thankfully, and Brooklyn was quick to claim a compartment near the front. Where the important people sat, and she was definitely important. She wouldn’t accept any arguments otherwise, nor would she have accepted just anyone who wanted to try and sit with her.
She was perfectly happy having the compartment to herself, aside from Tywin, who was curled up on the seat across from her. She hadn’t bothered to close the compartment door, in case her cat decided he wanted to wander later on, but she wasn’t about to go worrying about finding someone to sit with. Those who knew her could find her if they so chose, and anyone else would have to deal with her deciding if they were worth speaking to. If they were worth joining the short list of people who she’d cast in her little head canon. It was possible, as long as no one dared invade her personal bubble.
Colt decided to explore the train and see what he could find. I mean he was still the new kid but he was keen on meeting new friends. This was something new and he was kind of nervous but he wasn't gonna show it. As he walked down the front compartment he noticed a girl was sitting all alone. She seemed about his age and he blew out a breath and decided to meet her. He opened the door and asked, "Mind if I crash in here for a bit?"

She sat down opposite the boy and swung her legs. "Y'don't mind if I sit here, do ya?"
CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP CHEW CHEW CHEW.
You? YOU? Did she expect someone else? Had she SEEN him before? The boy tried to think back to a time when he could have met her and possibly offended her but nothing was coming to mind. And he would REMEMBER someone he didn't get along with. Maybe. Possibly. So, instead, he gave her a chocolatey grin -- one of the best grins, fyi -- before saying, "ME!"
............. Well this one was a bit LOUD, wasn't she?
It was hard to concentrate on anything else because, well, LOUD NOISES. COMING FROM THE GIRL. Now HE was the one who was startled and gave her a WIDE EYED OWL LOOK. Right. Okay. BREATHE. It was probably a good thing that the girl went on to repeat her cat's name because, er, ha ha, he had forgotten already. "Maybe HE'S ready to go to Hogwarts as well. Aren't you, buddy?" To the cat.
Who was then scooped off of his lap.
His gaze followed the cat and then landed on the girl who went on to introduce herself as.......... Riley? "It's nice to meet you, Riley. I'm Phillip." Remember his name, it was a GOOD'UN. "Don't mind as long as you don't eat ALL of my sweets." Because then there wouldn't be any left for him and that wasn't fair. "But you can have some if you like," he said, gesturing towards the seat next to him which had, in his opinion, a GOOD selection of sweets.
Chris continued to try and squint and see the title on the book and he saw something about creatures but couldn't make anything else out. Could they make that harder to read? His eyes widened though in fear, Hopefully he wouldn't need...GLASSES! Nope that was not cool at all. His attention was drawn as she moved the book toward him and he could finally see the title clearly.
"Hinkypunks?" he asked curiously and moved to sit beside her so he could read with her. At least he knew he belonged in Ravenclaw as he always wanted to learn new things. "What about them?" He tried to keep some space between them but couldn't really see so moved a bit closer.
Timmy turned the page and gave Chris a small shrug. "I think they're pretty cool. My dad is a creatures professor and I'm always stealing his books without him knowing. So I thought I'd read about Hinkypunks this time," Because she needed to educate herself on the creature Timmy started naming herself after last term's incident with Brian's things. No one told him to leave his Gryffindor best friend alone and hyper. Bad things always happen then.
Bringing the book closer to him, Timmy grinned and showed him the moving image of a hinkypunk about to attack. "Isn't it pretty cool how they swing around a lamp that spits out fireballs? I wish I had a lamp like that," She could use it on Ollie when he intruded her room without permission.

Colt decided to explore the train and see what he could find. I mean he was still the new kid but he was keen on meeting new friends. This was something new and he was kind of nervous but he wasn't gonna show it. As he walked down the front compartment he noticed a girl was sitting all alone. She seemed about his age and he blew out a breath and decided to meet her. He opened the door and asked, "Mind if I crash in here for a bit?"
Upon having entered the train at the front after bidding her father 'goodbye' Hady made her way through the crowd of people trying to find an empty compartment. Even though she was heading towards the back she took her time to poke her head into a few compartments and give out a few 'hellos' to those whom mattered. And certainly there were a few that did.
Lifting Hagan up off the floor and cradling him in her arms she continued to edge her way around a few of the older teens standing about in her way. As she neared one of the compartments her hazel eyes landed on a boy she recalled meeting in Diagon Alley. What was his name again? Uh...Colt. That's right Colt. She remembered because it was a bit different from the average name but not hard. "Hey Colt, did you manage to decide on an owl that day?," she asked walking over and leaning against the doorway beside the compartment. She was curious if he had of not since he had asked her questions about which was best and all.
With a small grin she peered around Colt when he opened the compartment door and asked the person inside if they minded him sitting there. Hady grinned a little more when she saw who was inside and offered a greeting to her friend and fellow Slytherin year mate. "Hey Brooklyn." This was also accompanied with her usual nod of the head.

As Colt asked the girl if she minded if he could crash into her compartment for a little bit, he turned around and noticed someone called his name. "What the..." He wondered out loud who knew his name because he was still the newbie going to Hogwarts. He turned his head and noticed the girl. She looked really familiar and then her question made sense. Aaahhh she was the girl he met in the owl store. "Yeah I managed to finally pick one actually." he assured her. "I got a barn owl. It seemed to like me after it bit my finger off a little bit." he joked with her a little bit. Then he had to ask, "I am sorry I forgot your name what is it again?" Then he heard the girl in the compartment was named Brooklyn. Hmm interesting since his city where he was born was in Brooklyn.

"Kate, you've probably explored a lot of the secret tunnels, like the one that leads to Hogsmeade?" Had she? "I bet you've been in the Chamber of Secrets, too."
He'd heard a LOT about that Chamber last term, especially in relation to the invading acromantula. He didn't bring it up now though, since she hadn't, and since their other companion seemed so positively excited for school. He exchanged a glance with Kate and then smiled back at Addelyn. "Hogwarts IS the best wizarding school in Europe, even the statistics say so," he informed her proudly. "It's a good thing you managed to convince your mum to go here!"
He'd had a bit of a struggle with his own mother, but in the end, his attendance at Hogwarts had been a no-brainer. Everyone else in the family had gone here, his parents had both taught here, and it would be 'bad for publicity' if he didn't attend, or something like that. So here he was. "Yep, I'm a first year," he admitted. "Hey, maybe we'll get Sorted in the same House." Him and Addelyn, that was. Maybe they'd even be Sorted into Kate's House???!?

Also Kate was a Ravenclaw! She remembered that house sticking out to her when she heard about the 4 different ones. After finding out that David was a first year, it also brought some relief to Adelynn as she would know someone at the sorting ceremony. "I'm hoping for Ravenclaw!" She then looked directly at David. "Ooh, and I hope you get Ravenclaw too! We could all hangout together in the Ravenclaw common room. I heard it has the prettiest view of the night sky!"
She then leaned back into her seat and sighed out of content. Her eyes were glossy with the idea of the different possibilities of adventures she would have this year. She knew it would be different from Beauxbatons, but a good different.
"I already know this year is going to be sweet!" Saying this reminded Adelynn of her bag of sweets she had gotten from Honeydukes earlier that day. She pulled it out of her satchel. And took a bite of a jelly slug. "Would either of you care for a Jelly Slug? Or some Fizzing Whizzbees?" She had brought plenty to share.
Kate raised her eyebrows in anticipation. "Cool! I bet you know more places at Hogwarts than the seventh years do," she told David. "That reminds me. We had this Cartography Club treasure hunt kind of thing at Hogwarts once, and I was on your mom's team. We explored the kitchens." She bet David knew all about those. "It was pretty cool. The house elves came out to talk to us and show us their quarters." That had been the one time, besides Herbology class, that Kate got to really hang out with David's mom.
kate gave out a slight HUFF then. "Speaking of that tunnel," she said, her face set into an expression of annoyance, "exploring that tunnel got me a one-way trip to the Hospital Wing. That was---..." She paused, realizing this might be a sensitive subject to David. It was too late, though. She'd already said so much that she knew they would want to know what she was referring to. "I got attacked by am army of spiders there. I bet it's a really cool place when it's not inhabited by creatures trying to eat you." And on that note, Adelynn now knew a bit about what happened last year.
David seemed so excited about Hogwarts and getting to go there, though, so Kate perked up. "Oh, yeah! It's a great school!" she agreed. It suddenly occurred to her that she was the only one in here currently sorted into a house. "You two would make great Ravenclaws! I can't wait to see where you'll end up!" Kate nodded along when Adelynn mentioned Ravenclaw's view of the night sky. "Yeah! It's an awesome view!" See. They would be perfect Claws. Plus, Ravenclaw needed more housemates, since they'd had a lot of graduates leave them last year.
Kate shook her head. "No, thank you. I've got some sweets, too," she said. She fished some out her pocket. "You two are welcome to these, too."

It had been a really long summer, but Bleu was so happy to be going back to Hogwarts for her final year. She couldn't wait to get caught up with the small group of friends that she had finally managed to acquire. She was sad, however, that Lux wouldn't be here this year. It just wasn't going to be the same without her, but she totally understood why she wasn't coming back. Hopefully she would get to see Dylan soon. She missed him tons!
Lazily, the seventh year rested her black bootie clad feet in the seat across from her. It was nice to have a compartment all to yourself sometimes. Silently, she reached over and grabbed her Hufflepuff sweater and snuggled it. It was slightly chilly and she was tired. "I guess a nap is in order." She closed her eyes and waited for the long trip to the castle.

The traaaaain! Noelle was on the train! But holy guacamole there were giants everywhere! What were they feeding these humongous teenagers?? Noelle needed some because she was being pushed back and forth as she made her small self to a compartment. She huffed and straightened her clothes. "You just wait until my mum hears about this!" Howlers. Howlers everywhere! To you! And you! And definitely you, you pusher!! Hmph!
Noelle sat gingerly on her seat and wiggled in excitement after calming down from her push-capade. She wanted... No NEEDED someone to come sit with her. She needed a new friend on HER FIRST DAY GOING TO HOGWARTS!! She was gushing. She was excited... And she was about to pee her pants. Why hasn't she listened to her mum when she told her to use the bathroom before she got on the train??
Speaking of her mum, Noelle looked at the photograph she brought of her and her mum. It was magical so it moved in the frame. She smiled at it, emotions running through her as she realized she wouldn't be able to see her until the holidays. Maybe she would get her mum to send those Howlers... Just so she could hear her voice.

Chris watched Timmy and then turned his focus onto the book. "He is? Where?" he asked suddenly really interested because the only thing he had in common with his dad was the love of blowing things up or the knack for getting in trouble. What happens when he liked music and studying and his dad wanted to teach him about magical law stuff. Ew. No. "So do you like creatures like your dad?"
He crossed his legs and looked at the picture she was showing him and grinned. "That is kind of cool. So...is like the lamp a part of them or what? I think if you had that though you would surely set the castle on fire," he teased and nudged her with a huge smile.

The peace and quiet didn’t last long, but then Brooklyn wasn’t naïve enough to have really thought that she would have had the compartment to herself for the whole train ride. That was nearly impossible, especially near the front. Some people seemed like they just felt like being closer to the prefects’ compartment made them that much better. She just knew she was. It had nothing to do with the prefects. The least she could hope for, though, was that whoever it was wouldn’t annoy her. Or try to hug her. The boy who had opened the door wasn’t anyone she knew already, so that eliminated any already established biases. And his question only proved he had respect. She could appreciate that.
She’d been about to allow him to sit, as long as he didn’t try to sit on her cat who was still on the bench opposite her, when another voice sounded from nearby. Obviously speaking to the boy who had opened the door, and also identifying him. Plus, she recognized said voice even before her dormmate had peeked around the doorway. “Hi Hady,” she returned, giving the other girl a nod as well. Slytherin greetings were the best. They didn’t need to say or do much more to be understood, and it would be a good lesson for Colt. If he chose to pay attention.
“You can come in if you want,” she finally said, mostly to Colt. Hady could come in too, if she felt like it. She wasn’t sure if the other girl was looking for a compartment or if she was looking for Zeke from the small part of her face she could still see, after all. She wasn’t a mind reader. That was a useless ability in her mind anyhow, unless it was used to get her where she wanted to be. More accurately, if it could keep her there, since she knew from the end of last term that there would be a lot more testing of professors to see if they respected her. If they could be used for her benefit.

SPOILER!!: You two c:
As Colt asked the girl if she minded if he could crash into her compartment for a little bit, he turned around and noticed someone called his name. "What the..." He wondered out loud who knew his name because he was still the newbie going to Hogwarts. He turned his head and noticed the girl. She looked really familiar and then her question made sense. Aaahhh she was the girl he met in the owl store. "Yeah I managed to finally pick one actually." he assured her. "I got a barn owl. It seemed to like me after it bit my finger off a little bit." he joked with her a little bit. Then he had to ask, "I am sorry I forgot your name what is it again?" Then he heard the girl in the compartment was named Brooklyn. Hmm interesting since his city where he was born was in Brooklyn.
The peace and quiet didn’t last long, but then Brooklyn wasn’t naïve enough to have really thought that she would have had the compartment to herself for the whole train ride. That was nearly impossible, especially near the front. Some people seemed like they just felt like being closer to the prefects’ compartment made them that much better. She just knew she was. It had nothing to do with the prefects. The least she could hope for, though, was that whoever it was wouldn’t annoy her. Or try to hug her. The boy who had opened the door wasn’t anyone she knew already, so that eliminated any already established biases. And his question only proved he had respect. She could appreciate that.
She’d been about to allow him to sit, as long as he didn’t try to sit on her cat who was still on the bench opposite her, when another voice sounded from nearby. Obviously speaking to the boy who had opened the door, and also identifying him. Plus, she recognized said voice even before her dormmate had peeked around the doorway. “Hi Hady,” she returned, giving the other girl a nod as well. Slytherin greetings were the best. They didn’t need to say or do much more to be understood, and it would be a good lesson for Colt. If he chose to pay attention.
“You can come in if you want,” she finally said, mostly to Colt. Hady could come in too, if she felt like it. She wasn’t sure if the other girl was looking for a compartment or if she was looking for Zeke from the small part of her face she could still see, after all. She wasn’t a mind reader.

More accurately, if it could keep her there, since she knew from the end of last term that there would be a lot more testing of professors to see if they respected her. If they could be used for her benefit.
Colt had looked at her and seemed surprised by the fact that she had known his name. He probably didn't remember who she even was but that was fine by her if he didn't. He started talking though answering her question which lead to her figuring he did remember it only took him a few moments to realize it.
A barn owl huh? "That's cool. Not the whole biting you part but yeah," she answered laughing softly. "At least you were able to find one you liked or well one that liked you?" That had kinda been how she had picked Riddick out years earlier. Okay maybe not exactly but he had been the only one that 'hadn't' attempted to bite her. Which was a very good thing there.
Hearing Brooklyn speak up from inside the compartment Hady once more peered around the side of the doorway at her. This abled her to see the small nod she had gotten in return. This was good, her and Brooklyn had a very simple friendship if that's what it was. Somehow they always seemed to understand one another just fine without the use of so many words getting in the way. "How was your summer," she asked after a moments thought figuring it was a little something to talk about before moving on to say hi to some others.

"I hear your name is Brooklyn.." he gestured to Hady. "Thats actually the town I was born in.." he shrugged. "Brooklyn, New York but I don't really have the accent." he joked just a little bit.
Then he heard Hady ask him questions and he politely turned to her and nodded. "Yeah I found one that was tameable. He has his moods but he is a good owl. I sent him on a flight to my friends house and he came back with the letter and all. Can't argue with that.." he grinned. He heard Hady ask about Brooklyn summer but he thought it was directed at all of them and said, "My summer was kind of boring just a lot of traveling." In all honesty it was. A lot of plane flying.

After finding out that David was a first year, it also brought some relief to Adelynn as she would know someone at the sorting ceremony. "I'm hoping for Ravenclaw!" She then looked directly at David. "Ooh, and I hope you get Ravenclaw too! We could all hangout together in the Ravenclaw common room. I heard it has the prettiest view of the night sky!"
She then leaned back into her seat and sighed out of content. Her eyes were glossy with the idea of the different possibilities of adventures she would have this year. She knew it would be different from Beauxbatons, but a good different.
"I already know this year is going to be sweet!" Saying this reminded Adelynn of her bag of sweets she had gotten from Honeydukes earlier that day. She pulled it out of her satchel. And took a bite of a jelly slug. "Would either of you care for a Jelly Slug? Or some Fizzing Whizzbees?" She had brought plenty to share.

The house elves came out to talk to us and show us their quarters." That had been the one time, besides Herbology class, that Kate got to really hang out with David's mom.
kate gave out a slight HUFF then. "Speaking of that tunnel," she said, her face set into an expression of annoyance, "exploring that tunnel got me a one-way trip to the Hospital Wing. That was---..." She paused, realizing this might be a sensitive subject to David. It was too late, though. She'd already said so much that she knew they would want to know what she was referring to. "I got attacked by am army of spiders there. I bet it's a really cool place when it's not inhabited by creatures trying to eat you." And on that note, Adelynn now knew a bit about what happened last year.
David seemed so excited about Hogwarts and getting to go there, though, so Kate perked up. "Oh, yeah! It's a great school!" she agreed. It suddenly occurred to her that she was the only one in here currently sorted into a house. "You two would make great Ravenclaws! I can't wait to see where you'll end up!" Kate nodded along when Adelynn mentioned Ravenclaw's view of the night sky. "Yeah! It's an awesome view!" See. They would be perfect Claws. Plus, Ravenclaw needed more housemates, since they'd had a lot of graduates leave them last year.
Kate shook her head. "No, thank you. I've got some sweets, too," she said. She fished some out her pocket. "You two are welcome to these, too."
"That would be cool, if we were all in Ravenclaw together," David agreed, now starting to feel a bit nervous. What if he wasn't sorted there, though? What if his BFF Char got Ravenclaw like her parents, and he got Hufflepuff or Slytherin like his? What if, most horrifying of all, he were actually a GRYFFINDOR?!!
He had a feeling his mum would just faint if it came to that.
Speaking of her, "She told me all about Cartography Club," he admitted, though he hadn't heard her mention any students by name. "Aren't the house elves the sweetest? I like how they're always trying to feed you." They were like the grandmother he'd never had.
Davie's bright blue eyes widened in surprise behind his glasses as Kate mentioned an actual encounter with last term's acromantula population, an encounter he would forever be jealous of. "Wowwwww," the little boy breathed in amazement. "How cool--- I mean, how big were they in person? Did they talk to you guys at all? Do they actually seem like intelligent, wizard-bred creatures?!" He had so many things to ask about spiders that he almost forgot Adelynn was there. Until she offered him candy, of course.
"Sure, I'll take a jelly slug," he accepted happily. Never refuse candy from a stranger kid was his new motto.

Oh! Hady couldn't help but smirk as she watched Colt move into the compartment and sit across from Brooklyn, hearing that he was born in NY. Stepping inside the compartment as well so everyone outside it wouldn't hear them talking she slid the door closed behind her. "Do you still live in New York?," she asked looking to Colt for a moment. She was rather curious now.
"No, no you can't. It sounds like you found yourself a good owl then." It was always nice to have an owl that did what was needed of it but also one that could be a friend or pet as well. Not just a letter or parcel carrier. Colt then went on to talk about his summer after she had asked the question, which she hadn't exactly directed to anyone so that was just fine with her. "Traveling?" Like vacations or something? Hers was uh...not very eventful either.

I live in London at the moment but before London I lived in Russia to be closer to Durmstrang because of my mothers job.." Yeah his mothers job made him move around a lot. "Yeah I am relieved I found one too. I mean it was a hassle in itself because I know I didn't want a snow owl because my cousin has one and I feel like they are too popular ya know?

Spiders. Spiders. It had to be spiders. Adelynns smile fell into an anxious half-smile. "The...The spiders, um, are gone right? They won't be there this year?" She said, along with a nervous laugh.
Trying to keep herself calm and collected. She brought herself back to the conversation on being sorted into a house. "Yeah, I have a feeling we would have a lot of fun in Ravenclaw together!" She said to the other two. Plus, she figured that the Ravenclaw tower was probably too high up for an army of spiders to reach.
Adelynns eyes lit up at Davids mention of the house elves. "Oh, I think I'll get along great with the house elves then. I love to eat." She then took another bite of her sweets.
When David started asking Kate more questions about the acromantulas, Adelynn slid down in her seat a bit. Although the topic freaked her out, deep down she was a bit curious as to what Kate had to say, just in case she had to brace herself for them.

Kate nodded at David's statement. She didn't want to be so vocal as to say this out loud, but Ravenclaw could use some more members. One or two or forty should do it. For some reason, Kate always guessed that Ravenclaw was the house with the lowest amount of people sorted into it. She didn't know for sure, but it sure seemed that way in classes. Maybe these two would get in, and Kate would soon find the place kicking with people!
"I wouldn't be nervous, David," she said, picking up on how nervous he suddenly seemed. "I've only talked with you twice, counting right now, and you seem like a Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff to me. I'd put all my galleons on Ravenclaw." She smiled at him. She couldn't tell about Adelynn yet, but she seemed really nice. Not a Slytherin, she didn't think. Gryffindor either. She raised her eyebrows when David mentioned knowing all about the Cartography Club. "Oh, yeah. House elves are the greatest! The ones at Hogwarts are so adorable and even seem to make a hobby out of passing out their cookies."
She started to feel bad about the fact that David grew wide-eyed at her Acromantula mention, but then he almost sounded intrigued. "You mean...you're not upset? I thought you would be, but since you asked...," she began. "They were HUGE! They were way taller than me! I have no idea about their intelligence, because I was more preoccupied with the fact they thought I was dinner. They seemed to know what they were doing, though."
She gave Adelynn an apologetic look. Poor girl hadn't even been to the school yet, and she was already getting freaked out. "Oh, it's all okay now! David's mom and a team of professors helped us scare them off! I don't think they'll be coming around again," she assured. At least, she hoped not. Kate decided to change the subject a little to keep from scaring Adelynn too much. "So what do you think your favorite subject will be?" she asked, looking at both of her compartment mates.

Brooklyn had been listening to the conversation between Hady and the new boy, of course. Not that she particularly cared as to whether he’d found an owl, whether it had bitten him, or anything else that had been said. She just preferred knowing what was going on, in case it proved useful later on. She still hadn’t decided if the boy could be someone who she could tolerate yet, after all, even given her approval regarding his entering the compartment. That was just because it meant she knew something, and that her compartment companion wasn’t someone she already knew she had a bias against. But then, she figured Adi was likely in the prefect’s compartment, or off with one friend or another. Not bothering her, and she hadn’t seen Frankie or Clyde so far. Avoiding the latter of those two was easy though, since she was still convinced he was afraid of her. It was simple to avoid someone who was avoiding you.
She’d given the boy a rather dubious expression at his statement he’d been born in Brooklyn, New York. “I wasn’t,” she said simply, even as she’d filed away his name silently. Odds were her dad might have gotten her name from there, since she knew her grandparents had lived in New York at one point or another when he was younger. Plus, Lily lived in New York now. But the important part was that her name didn’t mean anything other than that it was her name. Just like she figured he wasn’t named after a baby horse. Or maybe he was, but she didn’t care to ask.
Besides, Hady had asked about her summer. Even if he’d offered his own answer, she shrugged it off. It hadn’t been obvious who the question was aimed toward, no fault of Hady’s. And the other girl had stepped further into the compartment and slid the door closed, which made things more private. Even easier. “My dad had work, so we stayed here most of the time. My mom’s heading to New York now though to visit my sister,” she replied with a shrug. She could have gone, if school hadn’t been starting. She could’ve visited her grandparents in California too, but she’d chosen not to.
“I wouldn’t want a snowy owl even if someone offered it to me. I’d rather have a gyrfalcon.” And she was planning on getting one, even if it meant bribing someone.

Brooklyn had been listening to the conversation between Hady and the new boy, of course. Not that she particularly cared as to whether he’d found an owl, whether it had bitten him, or anything else that had been said. She just preferred knowing what was going on, in case it proved useful later on. She still hadn’t decided if the boy could be someone who she could tolerate yet, after all, even given her approval regarding his entering the compartment. That was just because it meant she knew something, and that her compartment companion wasn’t someone she already knew she had a bias against. But then, she figured Adi was likely in the prefect’s compartment, or off with one friend or another. Not bothering her, and she hadn’t seen Frankie or Clyde so far. Avoiding the latter of those two was easy though, since she was still convinced he was afraid of her. It was simple to avoid someone who was avoiding you.
She’d given the boy a rather dubious expression at his statement he’d been born in Brooklyn, New York. “I wasn’t,” she said simply, even as she’d filed away his name silently. Odds were her dad might have gotten her name from there, since she knew her grandparents had lived in New York at one point or another when he was younger. Plus, Lily lived in New York now. But the important part was that her name didn’t mean anything other than that it was her name. Just like she figured he wasn’t named after a baby horse. Or maybe he was, but she didn’t care to ask.
Besides, Hady had asked about her summer. Even if he’d offered his own answer, she shrugged it off. It hadn’t been obvious who the question was aimed toward, no fault of Hady’s. And the other girl had stepped further into the compartment and slid the door closed, which made things more private. Even easier. “My dad had work, so we stayed here most of the time. My mom’s heading to New York now though to visit my sister,” she replied with a shrug. She could have gone, if school hadn’t been starting. She could’ve visited her grandparents in California too, but she’d chosen not to.
“I wouldn’t want a snowy owl even if someone offered it to me. I’d rather have a gyrfalcon.” And she was planning on getting one, even if it meant bribing someone.
As Hady listened to both Brooklyn and Colt speak she gave a small nod. So he had lived in Brooklyn New York but lives in London now. Got it. "Oh, only asking cause I live in Long Island New York." That was all. Was she going to say she wouldn't be living there much longer, no probably not. That information wasn't really needed.
The talk of summers though made her feel a little better. Hers had been boring also. "Yeah, I didn't exactly do much either this summer." Unless thinking of where she wanted to move counted. It didn't. Or maybe it did and she just didn't feel the need to discuss it with anyone.
As for owls she didn't have a snowy owl and didn't really care to have one either. "Nope I don't. Riddick is a Forest Owlet and he's home with my father," she explained more to Colt first. As Brooklyn said she wanted a Gyrfalcon Hady glanced her way and gave her friend a small nod of the head and a slight grin. Good choice. She didn't blame her for wanting one.

Colt nodded and sometimes people were born after a city if they weren't from there. "No worries. I just thought it was cool you were named after a city is all." he told her honestly. "I was named after one of my dad's horses he had on his ranch when he was a kid. Very clever ain't it?" he rolled his eyes. He didn't think it was but now he lived with this name for the rest of his life. That was cool her parents were visiting New York. Hopefully he could visit there sometime soon. A gyrfalcon? What was that? He furrowed his brows and asked, "What is a gyrfalcon?" Now his newbyness was showing but he didn't care. It sounded cool and he wanted to know what it was.
Colt heard Hady mention Long Island. He turned his head and was impressed. Not a lot of people knew about that part of New York. "Oh really what part of Long Island are you from?" He visited there sometimes when he was a kid. He loved going to the North shore and taking his uncles boat out and going on his jet ski.

Trying to keep herself calm and collected. She brought herself back to the conversation on being sorted into a house. "Yeah, I have a feeling we would have a lot of fun in Ravenclaw together!" She said to the other two. Plus, she figured that the Ravenclaw tower was probably too high up for an army of spiders to reach.
Adelynns eyes lit up at Davids mention of the house elves. "Oh, I think I'll get along great with the house elves then. I love to eat." She then took another bite of her sweets.
When David started asking Kate more questions about the acromantulas, Adelynn slid down in her seat a bit. Although the topic freaked her out, deep down she was a bit curious as to what Kate had to say, just in case she had to brace herself for them.

For some reason, Kate always guessed that Ravenclaw was the house with the lowest amount of people sorted into it. She didn't know for sure, but it sure seemed that way in classes. Maybe these two would get in, and Kate would soon find the place kicking with people!
"I wouldn't be nervous, David," she said, picking up on how nervous he suddenly seemed. "I've only talked with you twice, counting right now, and you seem like a Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff to me. I'd put all my galleons on Ravenclaw." She smiled at him. She couldn't tell about Adelynn yet, but she seemed really nice. Not a Slytherin, she didn't think. Gryffindor either. She raised her eyebrows when David mentioned knowing all about the Cartography Club. "Oh, yeah. House elves are the greatest! The ones at Hogwarts are so adorable and even seem to make a hobby out of passing out their cookies."
She started to feel bad about the fact that David grew wide-eyed at her Acromantula mention, but then he almost sounded intrigued. "You mean...you're not upset? I thought you would be, but since you asked...," she began. "They were HUGE! They were way taller than me! I have no idea about their intelligence, because I was more preoccupied with the fact they thought I was dinner. They seemed to know what they were doing, though."
She gave Adelynn an apologetic look. Poor girl hadn't even been to the school yet, and she was already getting freaked out. "Oh, it's all okay now! David's mom and a team of professors helped us scare them off! I don't think they'll be coming around again," she assured. At least, she hoped not. Kate decided to change the subject a little to keep from scaring Adelynn too much. "So what do you think your favorite subject will be?" she asked, looking at both of her compartment mates.
Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff? "Really?" Davie looked over at Kate, the feeling of nervousness in his stomach quelling into a bit of hopeful excitement. He really would like it there, with the other two girls, new friends he'd already found. "Ravenclaw DOES wear my favorite color," he told them both cheerfully. Okay, so maybe the Sorting Hat would see how he felt about that House, right? Since it read minds and all?
But on the topic of spiders... no, no he wasn't upset at all, and shook his head at Kate to show her so. "I think it's fascinating how quietly they planned their takeover, then thought to come in through the Chamber of Secret's exit, and found out that my mum was teaching so they took her straight out of the greenhouses, and then they divided their forces to try to conquer everywhere at once..." he had to take a deep breath to keep from getting too excited and rambly. Especially since he caught a glance at Adelynn's face, and she was NOT having those spiders.
Uh. "I mean, Kate's definitely right. The castle is probably really clean by now. I bet the House Elves and the staff have been working hard to make sure it's 100% cobweb-free this year." He hoped he sounded reassuring. He felt proud that his mom had been brought up as more than just a hostage, as a person who had scared the spiders away. Favorite subjects, though? Hmm, maybe Adelynn already had one from her time at Beauxbatons. Davie had a few ideas of what he was looking forward to, but had no idea if he would be good at them or not.

Adelynns eyes kept moving back and forth between Kate and David during their discussion on the spiders.
Welp.
She hoped nothing like this would happen during her stay at Hogwarts. Or if it did that she wouldn't have to be involved. Hiding staying her dorm sounded like a better option. "Well, as long as those furry legged creatures don't come back," she paused and gave a nervous laugh "We should have a safe year!" Wishful thinking.
At the mention of classes, Adelynn was able to free her mind from her fear for a bit. She had loved her classes at Beauxbatons and heard that they were even better at Hogwarts. It was hard for her to pick just one favorite. "My favorite subject would have to be Charms! I find it so helpful." She figured that this class would also help her out if she were to be attacked by anything. "What about you guys?" There were so many to choose from!
