Witches, Wands, and Wizards V3 [Open]

|Carson Joseph Queen|17|7th Year|Hufflepuff|Keeper
Carson hugged his father, accepting a kiss to his head without complaint. He had to subtly stand on his toes more to actually wrap his arms comfortably around his father's torso. Now if only he could hit that growth spurt that had shot his father to his towering 6'1".
They released each other as the two women in their family rejoined them, having handed over AJ's things to the staff. Wussie, of course, was cradled in her arms. In a similar fashion, Templeton was curled around Carson's neck.
The step-siblings traded parents, AJ wrapping her free hand around her step-father and burying her head into his chest as he squeezed her tight, a hand on the back of her head and a thumb stroking back and forth, while Carson leaned ever so slightly over so Maiko didn't have to stretch to hug him.
"Take care of your sister," Maiko murmured into his ear.
Carson chuckled. "Of course, Mama."
It went without saying, really, that Carson would look out for AJ; he would always do so, regardless of being told so. Reminding him was just something Maiko always did when the parents and children separated, a way for her to maintain a piece of mind that they would be there for each other.
"We should get going," AJ announced, laying a hand on her brother's broad back. Carson nodded and released Maiko, waving to her and Jason as he followed AJ across the station to the waiting train.

AJ stopped at the steps onto the train, turning to wave one final time to their parents before entering with Carson. She stepped aside to allow him to find a compartment for them, hating the process of doing so herself. She prayed they'd find an empty one, so she could simply curl up against her brother and sleep the entire way to the school. She was already feeling drained by just being around so many people.
Unfortunately, their empty compartment was not to be.
AJ brought Wussie up to her chest, burying her face in his silky fur as Carson spoke to the people inside the compartment.
"Am I interrupting something?"
AJ groaned inwardly at his suggestive tone. If she wasn't so embarrassed by him, she might've smacked him. Plus, she'd have to release Wussie to do so. No way was that happening anytime soon!

Serafima Volkov♦Sixth Year♦Ravenclaw♦Tagged: Sydney, Noble, Ryler

Frowning, Serafima watches the younger girl run onto the train, unable to take a moment and accept her apology.

Her father seems quite happy with this development, though, and claps a hand onto Serafima's shoulder. "Is good you have such a quick thinking boy to protect you, my little one." He says, fond but equally intimidating. "He will take care of you. And I will write when I can. Study hard. Become strong." Rostislav presses a kiss to his daughter's head before handing her off to Noble. "Protect my little girl."

Soon they are both on the train and Serafima is clinging tightly to Noble's arm as he navigates his way through gaggles of young witches and wizards. They pass by a compartment that Noble seems more than interested in, but before Serafima can even wave to the others in there she is tugged away and ushered into a new compartment.

As tehy sit, Serafima notices the two are not alone, and quietly examines the sleeping wizard against the window. Carefully, she raises a finger to her lips and softly shushes Noble.

"Good riddance." Noble mutters as he watches the young girl run away. "How careless..." He listens to Mr. Volkov's instructions, responding with sharp nods before they are sent on their way.

The train is crowded like always, and Noble lets Serafima cling to him in fear of losing her in the crowd. His eyes glances over the many compartments, travelling towards the back where most of the upperclassmen tend to sit. For a moment he passes by the door to Killian's compartment. Seeing the younger wizard sets Noble's cheeks aflame, bright red and heated, and he almost immediately tugs Serafima away from the doorway and into the closest open door. In his panic, he doesn't even seem to notice someone else is already in there. When he does notice he opens his mouth to tell Serafima they'd leave only for her to raise a finger to her lips.

Ugh, were they staying? "We should leave." He mutters, not quieting his voice in the slightest.

kennedy looked up from her book and saw killian errested, captain of the slytherin quidditch team. ”sure! just don’t be to awfully loud.” she said while smiling. after reading across a few lines of her book she saw the phrase ‘hit-and-run’. then it dawned on her that she had pushed the captain of the slytherin quidditch team. she looked up in horror. ”i’m sooooo sorry for pushing you! it was an accidental. i was just in a hurry to get on the train. are you hurt?” she said making sure he was alright. she also didn’t want the slytherin quidditch team coming after her or something. she picked at her thumb thinking about how horrible it would be to be bullied again this year. she then heard a familiar voice. she than quickly got up, pushed carson to the side, and ran to go hug aj.

AJ perked up at the sound of Kennedy's voice, a relieved smile breaking out on her face as she sighted one of her few friends, if not her best friend (Sorry Carson). Of course, her brother would somehow manage to stumble upon the one compartment with someone she felt comfortable around inside.
"Hi, Kenny," AJ greeted as the girl hugged her. She released Wussie to the ground in favor of wrapping both arms around the girl and squeezing her tight.

Carson Joseph Queen|17|7th year|Hufflepuff|Keeper|Tagged: Killian
Carson dodged nimbly to the side as Kennedy shot past him, smiling warmly as his sister hugged her friend. He turned his attention to the compartment's other occupant, recognizing the Slytherin Quidditch Captain.
"S'up, Errested," he greeted, cooly. He actually didn't mind the guy all that much, but they were technically on rival teams.

Sydney desperately searched the train for an empty compartment. Alas, there were none to be seen; most of the seats had filled up by the time she'd gotten onto the train. Taking a shaky breath to steady herself, the petite girl kept an eye out for any empty spots as she traipsed down the isle. Her spirits lifted when she noticed one, but - oh no. No, no no. I am not sitting there. It was in the same compartment as the girl she'd knocked into mere minutes ago, along with the tall boy who'd yelled at her. Keeping her head down as to not attract any attention to herself, Sydney rushed past them. Hopefully I'll find another open seat soon.

When Kennedy spoke up, Killian shrugged. "I'm totally fine. Actually, I should probably thank you for freeing me from mi mamá." He shuddered for dramatic effect. Despite his mum's efforts, his dark locks were still rather messy - just the way Killian liked it. Smooth hair would have looked out-of-place with his torn jeans and tattered Weird Sisters t-shirt. He put his luggage overhead before seating himself across from where Kennedy had been sitting. He set his cat carrier in his lap, causing the finicky feline inside to stir. He had been about to respond to Carson's greeting when a rumbling meow cut him off. A whispered Spanish curse escaped Killian as the Siamese started to yowl plaintively. "I was hoping she would sleep through the ride," he muttered, more to himself than anyone else. If there was one thing his cat hated, it was being confined. "Do you mind if I let Amelia out?" he asked the group, gesturing to the cat carrier. "She'll keep complaining like this until I do."

kennedy heard carson and killian say something, but she completely ignored them. ”I missed you soooooo much! how was your summer break?” she said excitedly. after seeing her best friend, everything that had happened early kind of disappeared.

Serafima Volkov♦Sixth Year♦Ravenclaw♦Tagged: Ryler

Serafima practically jumps as their companion awakens. "Our sorries, Ryler! We did not mean to wake you." She keeps her voice rather quiet, accent thick like always and pronouncing some of the letters off, turning her W's into V's and stressing oddly on the syllables.

Noble Mirrikai♦Seventh Year♦Slytherin♦Tagged: Ryler

"Dewitt." Noble states in greeting, neither laced with malice or particularly welcoming. He turns back to Serafima, taking her hand in his as if it will protect her form some unknown bundle of evils. "We should sit somewhere else." He declares with little regard to the other person in the compartment.

"We should sit with Quidditch captain?" Serafima suggests, prompting Noble to glare at her, but shut his mouth on the subject of leaving. "Are you looking forward to last year of Hogwarts?" Serafima continues, smiling sweetly at the older wizard.

AJ's face lit up as she released Kennedy, maintaining her hands on the other girl's forearms. "I found an old Yamaha motorcycle in this junkyard. I've been fixing it up all summer. You should come over on break and see it."
She glanced into the compartment at Killian's words. "So long as she's good with other cats, I'm fine."
Wussie had made his way into the compartment, claiming the place Kennedy had been sitting earlier.

"She better not go after Templeton," Carson threatened half-heartedly, removing the rat from around his neck and placing him on Wussie's flank. He knew the cat would keep his pet safe.
He sat down beside Wussie, leaning forward to place his elbows on his knees. "So, got any team secrets? Promise I won't tell anyone."
He winked at the other boy, hearing a groan from AJ still standing outside the doorway and seeing her forehead rest on Kennedy's shoulder in exasperation.

Sydney got all the way to the back of the train before she found an empty compartment. A relieved sigh exited her lips as she entered
the room. She hoisted her bags into the overhead, albeit with some difficulty; she had to stand on the seat to reach properly. Miraculously, none of her luggage fell out on top of her. She flopped down on a plush seat, setting Cicero's cage next to her. The barn owl looked up at Sydney with big brown eyes, much like her own. She fumbled with the door of his birdcage for a few moments before it sprung open with a metallic click, making her jump. Cicero hopped down from his perch and fluttered up to sit at the top of Sydney's seat. The small brunette closed her eyes and leaned her head back against the plush fabric, trying desperately to get her nerves under control. She took a few deep, shaky breaths in an attempt to calm her racing heartbeat.

"She's usually fine with other cats, but I'll keep an eye on her around Templeton," Killian promised with a smile. Amelia's frustrated yowling stopped the moment he unzipped her carrier. The slender chocolate-point Siamese stretched as she emerged from the depths. She instantly leapt down from Killian's lap and began rubbing against him, purring like a motorboat as if to thank him for freeing her. Killian scratched Amelia behind the ears as Carson spoke. "Ha ha, very funny," he scoffed. "You should know by now that we snakes pride ourselves on secrecy." He pretended to act offended, winking back at Carson to let the Hufflepuff boy know that he was merely kidding.

when aj mentioned the motorcycle kennedy lit up even more. “no way! that’s amazing! only thing I got to drive all summer was my beaten down 1990 ford f-150. “ she said. she then looked over to her former seat to see wussie cuddled up. “we better sit down the trains about to leave. I think” she said. she walked to her former seat, picked up wussie, and put her/him onto carson’s lap. ”move over.” she told carson. she squished in between the window seat and carson slightly pushing him over in the process. ”i don’t get how you boys can play quidditch. it’s exhausting!” she said joining in on the conversation.

”eh, it’s fine the trains about to leave and i get motion sick when i’m asleep in moving transportation.” he said. “noble” ryler greeted back. he sensed noble didn’t really want to be there at least with him. “well, it’s not like i’m here.” he mumbled under his breath. he was glad his fellow ravenclaw was being much more polite. ”definitely, but i don’t really want to leave. i’m actually thinking about becoming a professor here. what about you serafima, looking forward to your 6th year?” he asked her.
