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.

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.

"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.
Even if she had been, Brooklyn wouldn’t have admitted she’d been worried. That was a weakness, and she refused to admit any of those to someone she’d barely met. Not when they could take advantage of that for all she knew. It wasn’t spiders, at least. “Well thank you then,” she replied, before giving him a nearly incredulous look as he’d freely admitted that the idea she’d discarded as impossible actually was true. That he literally was named after a horse, and probably not even the horse’s name. “I’m sorry.” Not really. It wasn’t sympathy so much as pity, that he had to deal with being named after an animal.
Hady would understand, even though she knew the other girl was hardly the type to say anything about it. She was nicer than her, anyway, and she was continuing the discussion of where people lived and what they did over the summer. At least there wasn’t a big story there. She didn’t have to feel like her story was stupid. Although, there seemed to be a story behind Hady’s words. A story that Brooklyn wasn’t planning on asking about. Hady could talk about it or not, it didn’t matter to her.
“Why didn’t you bring your owl to Hogwarts?,” she asked instead, blue eyes checking on her cat again. Before they went to Colt as he’d asked what a gyrfalcon was. What did he think it was? She almost asked that, but held herself back. “It’s a kind of falcon. They’re good hunters,” she said instead, with a decisive nod. Obviously Hady had approved of her plan, given the girl’s nod and grin. Not that she particularly needed approval from anyone. She wanted a gyrfalcon, and she was going to get one. Just not right now, not when her parents were too distracted by Lily getting married.

So Brooklyn had the same name as a place. No big deal there really it was a nice name. She didn't think her fellow snakette was actually named after the place though and if she was who really cared? A name was a name. When Colt explained that he was named after his dads childhood horse Hady was sure what to say to that. So she did what she normally did. Said nothing at all. Colt was a pretty cool name in her book, at least the chances of someone else having the same name was very slim!
When Colt looked at her with a somewhat impressed look on his face Hady raised an eyebrow slightly in question not sure what she'd said to get the look. And then she found out when he continued to ask her a question. Which part of Long Island she was from. "Currently in Suffolk County," she told him simply. Did he want a more specific answer? If so he could ask if he liked she really didn't mind.
"He's been sick on and off a lately. So I felt it easier on him leaving him home with my father and well I brought Hagan with like usual," she replied shifting her attention from Colt to Brooklyn and then the girls cat. Tywin right? She thought that was the cats name. Kinda sad really that she wasn't fully sure on that when they'd shared a dorm going on four years now. Oh well. It happened sometimes.

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.
Riley was polite, y'see, so this time she waited for him to finished chomping and chewing before bursting into giggles. Mostly at his enthusiastic 'ME' and his chocolatey grin. "You," she repeated for clarification .... and because it was funny.
Oh. OH. He was giving her that deer in headlights (something mam always said) look. For a second she worried that she had scared him LITERALLY to DEATH but he soon started talking again and it seemed friendly enough. No need to fear then; she wasn't a murdererer. "Oh, he definitely is. He's been chasing people all over the train 'n' sniffing 'em. I think he wants to make LOTS of friends. Just like me." Except she didn't sniff people but she thought that was self-explanatory.
A GRIN FOR HIM.
"It's nice t'meet you, too, Phillip. You've gotta good name," she informed him. It was the one Prince Charming had in Sleeping Beauty. You can't go wrong with a name like that. "I have lots o'sweets but they're all in my trunk because my mam said to make 'em last." OOOH. But he was offering her sweets. She eyed them up. Some of them she didn't recognise, but that was to be expected. Chocolate frogs she knew and loved. Every flavour beans she knew as well. But most of these looked new.
Oh, it was so hard to choose.

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.
Much, much time had passed by the time Riley decided to move compartments. She left Phillip's and changed into her robes -- SCARY -- and returned to find another person, somehow on their own still. Unless she hadn't been alone the whole time and other people had also changed into their robes. Who could know?
Not Riley, obvs.
Instead of literally (not) pressing face on her glass to see in, she slid open the door and bounded inside. "Hey there," she began, "I'm Riley and why are you on your own?" No point wasting ignoring the obvious questions even if it was maybe a bit rude. She grinned widely and sat down opposite the blonde while waiting for an answer.
