Serafima Volkov♦Sixth Year♦Ravenclaw♦Tagged: Ryler

Serafima squeeze's Noble's hand, as if wishing to comfort the grumpy wizard, still smiling at Ryler. "I am looking forward to the classes. Summer was boring. We had nothing to do, and it gets very hot here." She tries not to feel too self-conscious right now; leading a conversation whilst her companion is rude. It's practically her worse nightmare, but as long as she keeps her hand tightly in noble's, at least she is grounded. "What would you want to teach if you could? I know Noble would teach He-" A hand covers her mouth. Well, apparently Noble didn't want that information shared.

Noble Mirrikai♦Seventh Year♦Slytherin♦Tagged: Ryler

Noble shuts up and decides he'd have a much better time staring out the window than doing anything else, like talking to Ryler or being a decent person. It's only when Serafima tightens her grip on his hand that he even begins paying attention. This is a good thing as she, naturally, starts revealing secrets about him. "Hush." He hisses before she can reveal his rather large interest in Herbology, slapping his hand over the girl's mouth. His face turns red again at the idea of people knowing. Plants aren't exactly the most...Intimidating hobby.

Carson pouted playfully at Killian's rejection, though it quickly turned into a playful grin at Kennedy's words.
"That's half the fun!" Carson countered the younger girl. He accepted Wussie, and therefore Templeton, from Kennedy, stroking the tom-cats ear fur, just where he liked it.
"Besides, it's not like I get why you two are so into cars and motorcycles," he pointed out as he scooched over with Kennedy's urging, making room for AJ to squeeze between them.

Aiko Jin|16|6th Year|Ravenclaw|Head Girl|Tagged: Killian and Kennedy
AJ rolled her eyes at her brother's antics, reaching over to take her cat back. Wussie went without complaint, pliant to AJ's gentle hands as she slipped him over onto her own lap and began stroking his fur. Templeton slid off in the process, climbing his way up Carson's sleeve to rest on his master's shoulder.
"How old is Amelia?" she asked, watching the she-cat rub against Killian's legs.

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.

"Amelia's about four years old now," Killian replied smoothly. That is, until the sleek Siamese leapt into his lap, her front paws hitting him right in the stomach. He made a rather unflattering face as he winced, but he quickly recovered as he plastered a look of mock-annoyance across his features. "Really?" he complained to the cat, but she wasn't listening. Templeton's movements had caught her eye. Her pupils dilated as she watched the rat, and her tail twitched back and forth. A familiar chattering meow pierced the air, indicating excitement and frustration. "Amelia, no," Killian said sternly, bopping her gently on the nose. She squinted up at him, tail lashing angrily. "If you go after Templeton, I'm going to put you back in the carrier." Her ears flattened at the mention of the word 'carrier'. With a low growl, Amelia turned away from Templeton, though she kept a watchful eye on him.

”i want to be a charms professor, but a potions professor is pretty compelling.” he said. he heard serafima say something, but he didn’t know what. he turned around, because he heard his owl, corinth, hoot repetitively from being locked up in his cage. ”do you guys mind if i let him out? he’s well trained so he won’t hurt you or anything.” he asked.

Sydney's stomach did a backflip when the train lurched to a start. Though train rides were typically quite smooth, the beginning was always an adventure for her gut. Hopefully things will mellow out when the train reaches a steady speed. For now, she would just have to use the pressure points on her wrist and hope for the best.

"Amelia?" Killian snorted. "Pff, she's a total drama queen." The Siamese looked up at Killian through narrowed eyes, then promptly rose to her feet, smacking him in the face with her lashing tail as she pranced towards the seat beside him. Killian sputtered, spitting cat hair out of his mouth in a rather ungainly show. "See what I mean?" he complained loudly, though amusement sparkled in his viridescent gaze. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that King's Cross Station started to pass by out the window.

"To be fair, Wussie is kind of old," AJ pointed out. "Although, he always has been pretty calm. I think he's actually an oddity; most cats seem to have the temperament of Amelia."
Wussie eyed Amelia curiously, remaining splayed out on his mistress' lap as she continued to stroke his fur.

Carson Joseph Queen|17|7th Year|Hufflepuff|Keeper|Tagged: Killian and Kennedy
Carson stuck his tongue out at Kennedy in response to her comment about Quidditch and cars. He reached up to stroke Templeton, noting the rat had moved closer to his neck after being eyed by Amelia. Not that he really had anything to worry about; Wussie would attack first.
"Feeling kinda left out here guys." He mock pouted.

minty walked around the train, finally finding an empty compartment. she didn’t feel like socializing at the moment, she never really did. she opened a book, completely bored, as per usual. the train had started, and she heard people chattering all around her as she closed her compartment door.

daniel felt a weight lift off his shoulders the moment he stepped onto the crowded train. surely, he'd be alone as always, but anything was better than being within reach of his father. he decided it'd be safer if beau, his obsidian snake was concealed from view and tucked into his jacket sleeve. he had a difficult enough time fitting in, he didn't need to be any more intimidating. daniel peered into each compartment, not finding a single open one where he could find solitude. he passed by a fellow slytherin, killian, who he could never decide if he envied him or wanted to be with him. however, he was clearly preoccupied with people that could actually keep up with his intellectual wit. sighing, he resigned to join a rather mousy fourth year girl, (what was her name again? sammy? sydney?) in the hopes she would leave him be. daniel plopped down next to her, and stared out the window as the engines began to roll.

a genuine smile stretched across ella's face as she practically skipped onboard the elusive hogwarts express. being surrounded by magic always made ella feel brighter, more fulfilled somehow. she absolutely glowed as kitten, her white scottish fold, perched on her shoulders, entangled in her blonde curls. her primary goal this year, other than ace-ing her OWL's of course, was to make as many friends as possible. she had kept her head down for too long and wasn't satisfied with ending her last year with only professors to confide in. quickly scanning for a seat, ella spotted kennedy. she was a year younger than her, but they did share the same house and ella didn't mind the difference in age. surrounded by a group of chatty people, ella gulped nervously before piping up. "hey, mind if i squeeze in?"

Sydney nearly jumped out of her skin when she heard the compartment door slide open. She didn't dare to look directly at whoever had just entered, but she snuck a few glances at him out of the corner of her eye. With some trepidation, she noticed that he was about a foot taller than her. He didn't say hello or even acknowledge her presence - not that she minded, but the silence was feeling rather awkward.
Cicero regarded the newcomer curiously from where he perched on the top of the seat. The barn owl tilted his head at him with wide brown eyes. Cicero seemed particularly focused on one of the boy's sleeves, though Sydney couldn't fathom why.
Seeing as her nausea had subsided, Sydney hopped up onto the seat to retrieve a particular book from her trunk. She'd packed it on top in case she wanted to do some last-minute review on anything Hogwarts-related. When she'd positioned herself comfortably once more, she opened Hogwarts: A History and began to peruse the chapters. She'd already read the book multiple times in preparation for her transfer that year, and yet there was practically nothing mentioned about the Sorting Ceremony. She chewed her lip as she continued her search for knowledge.

Killian was about to tease Carson, all in good humour, of course, when a pretty blonde girl he recognised as a Hufflepuff slid open the compartment door. A white Scottish Fold perched on her shoulders like a parrot, which Killian found particularly amusing. "Why not add another cat to the party?" he replied with a confident smirk. "As long as said cat doesn't go after Carson's pet rat, that is." Amelia yowled in frustration when Killian picked her up and plopped her on his lap to make room for the Hufflepuff girl - Ella, he recalled. He had the thought that Ella was only a nickname, but he couldn't remember her full name. Amelia's claws pierced Killian's tan skin through his tattered jeans, evicting a barely concealed wince. Nonetheless, the Siamese settled down quickly, tucking her paws underneath her slender body. She returned Wussie's curious stare, though hers seemed a bit more judgemental than curious.

daniel got a weird feeling in his stomach that he couldn't quite place. was this...guilt? it wasn't like him to care about ignoring people as he usually did, but this felt different. she was sitting all alone before he happened upon her, after all, and she was just a fourth year. dan stared at his hands, unsure of what to do. breaking his brooding personality for once seemed like a welcome break, nonetheless a scary one. being friendly was just not in his nature. dan couldn't help but notice sydney cracking open a history book- really, on the train to hogwarts? this girl must be the daughter of a professor, or the biggest nerd he's ever met. he was about to crack a not-so-friendly joke when suddenly daniel spotted beau, slithering from his jacket and into the poor girl's lap. eyes going wide, dan exclaimed, "oh [removed]!"

"the more the merrier i guess." ella chuckled as kitten leaped down from her perch onto the compartment floor. she was surprised, she hadn't expected this kind of warm welcome from a slytherin- not that she was biased- they just never seemed to take a liking to her. ella was sure she's seen him around, as you can't really forget a face like that. maybe this year wouldn't be so bad after all. the train abruptly lurched forward, causing her to fall back into her seat and almost crush amelia's tail. i've messed this up already, she thought, shaking her head, i hope they don't think i'm a klutz. ignoring the blush spreading on her cheeks from her embarrassment, ella managed to introduce herself. "i'm elizabeth, but people usually call me ella."
