| | |  Back Cars
 If you want to be the last to leave or want to hang with the more rowdy crowd, then the back passenger cars of the train are for you. Just like the other cars, a long corridor provides access to the many compartments, each labelled with a letter, available for you and your friends to hunker down in until the train has come to a complete stop. Cushioned seats and large windows, allowing perfect views of the British scenery on your journey, await.
Well, what are you waiting for? Slide open a compartment door and make yourself at home. Place any of your belongings not in the luggage car on the racks above you. Chat with your friends about your summer plans, enjoy munching on the snacks you bought from the trolley lady, get ahead of the game by exchanging addresses, or take a long nap as the train travels over numerous hills and mountainsides. Whatever you do, exhibit your best behaviour -- the prefects will be regularly patrolling the corridors and poking their heads inside your compartment to make sure you are doing so.

It wasn't because this Gryffindor did not enjoy Hogwarts, but he thought that getting overly emotional about leaving school for good was a tad ridiculous. The fact that he was going home in one piece with his head attached to his shoulders, he'd pointedly decided to look forward to the coming days, rather than dwell on whatever has transpired in school. He did enjoy his time in Hogwarts, albeit some days being messy and confusing and frustrating for a teen, but it had been a swell ride all throughout. As a wizard, he knew they were bred differently in this part of the island, and so, surviving was a reward in itself, and a cause for celebration.
Speaking of celebrations, his last hurrah with his fellow graduates and friends from the lower years was definitely one for the books. So much so that Noah Mordaunt was (surprise surprise!) all partied out at this point. Besides, there were more pressing matters at hand, such as his big move out of England and into "enemy" territory-- France. For those who didn't know (and most likely no one except for a select few) he got scouted for the Quiberon Quafflepunchers, and in a few weeks, he was due for a try-out match game with the French national team to see if he was a good fit. It was, of course, a good reason for the young man to feel all sorts of nerves. But if there was anything that Hogwarts taught him, things always has its way of happening-- and most of the time, it was always for the better.
The 18-year-old blindly sauntered towards the familiar back cars and settled himself in one of the unoccupied compartments, sucking on a red lolly that was gifted by the trolley lady to graduating students. While doing so, Noah pulled out a piece of parchment from his pocket, and delved deep into cross-checking the items he needed for his new flat that awaited him across the sea.

There were a lot of feelings left within Darius, relief was one for sure. But the other was... anxious? Perhaps from knowing he can go home again or rather knowing his future was now.. in his hands. Everyone within his circle knew where he was headed. Having been scouted by a few teams, among those he would be trying out for the Tutshill Tornados in a few weeks. Heading to the back of the train, Darius opened up a compartment to chill in and aha... a pleasant surprise.
"Hey," Darius said to his fellow graduate and former team mate. Within their U-17 circle it was quite a triumph knowing most would be playing professionally, but bittersweet as they would be going their separate ways. Noah was cool. He would always remember that and wondered if perhaps their paths will cross again internationally (hey, anything was possible). He then decided to sit across from him leaning back to relax. It was going to be a nice long and lasting chill ride.

It didn't take long for him to be found. Not that Noah was expecting anyone, but he knew it was a matter of luck to get a compartment all on his own for the rest of the ride. The Gryffindor glanced at the door as soon as it slid open, pocketing his parchment and reaching for the end of the lolly stick in his mouth.
"Hallo," Noah scooted closer to the window, and propped his feet onto the empty seat across him. He didn't mind the company, not at all, but he'd rather not feel cramped, especially his rather long legs. "I suppose you are looking forward to the next weeks?" Their u17 England team of course knew what was going on for them graduates, but Noah wasn't quite sure where exactly Darius was heading. His team mate was a good one, that he was sure of, and it would be any team's mistake not to take him in. Pulling out the lolly and pointing it at the Slytherin, "Not about the NEWT results, no." no talk of it, if possible.

Thinking about the next few weeks was a definite reminder on how busy it would be. Seeing his family again, all the parties that would entail with them and his own friends and former teammates. Then fitting training in between all of that.
Darius smirked at it, "You could say that, though I'm guessing you have more of a load, compared to me trying out for the Tornados," Before adding, "I heard you were moving out of England," It was daunting enough leaving both homes but a whole country was another ordeal.
NEWTs were gross, "Nah, don't have to worry about that," He did fine on them but the results didn't matter t share since it wasn't one of the things he was asked about for the team. "You know Noah, you're an alright mate... for a Gryffindor." As a Slytherin, didn't the hidden rules dictate he couldn't befriend a Gryffindor? Well, he wasn't much for rules and the chance for a little friendly inside banter. Plus, he was a good teammate and player on the field. "If we both happen to make it on our own teams... I promise I won't send too many bludgers your way." Hey, he would be required to as a Beater, but there were no misses, just... warning shots. Cue the small smile.
