Skylar Vance
16|Male|Homosexual
Hufflepuff
Tagged: Professor Blackhoof

He glanced out of the window, not really paying attention to anything that might be happening out in the train's corridor, and just waiting for the Hogwarts Express to start moving. He would have started reading, but he didn't want to end up getting through the whole book before arriving at Hogwarts. He was sure that he probably wouldn't, but still. He was also somewhat hoping that he wouldn't end up getting joined by too many other students. At least, hopefully, someone who wasn't too pushy or talkative. He figured that his hopes might be something of a long shot, but he still held onto that hope.
Skylar glanced towards the compartment door when he heard it open, and was very much surprised to see the Herbology professor, Professor Blackhoof, ducking into the compartment and carrying an evidently well-sealed sack of something. A quick glance at the writing on the side of the sack gave him a sense of recognition - he'd been to Thornside's Greenhouse and Nursery a fair few times over the summer, and helped calm down a fair few of the more rowdy plants, which was his preferred method of working with plants, by being more gentle yet firm towards them, though he'd definitely be a little harsher towards a more difficult plant. Regardless, it clearly worked for him, as he received an 'Outstanding' in his Herbology OWL last year.

Anyway, Skylar glanced away a little embarrassed, as Professor Blackhoof spoke and he ran a hand somewhat nervously over the spine of the book he was holding, Sub-Aquatic Botanical Mysteries. "Um... sort of, Professor." Skylar replied, looking back up to make eye contact, as to be polite. "I don't recall this book being on the list for this year." He added, tilting the book slightly so that the professor could see the cover more clearly, although he figured that the professor already knew what book it was anyway.

Lee-Jae Dai

Slytherin
Tagged: Lia, Alistair

Just as he was about to take out a small, pocket mirror that he carried with him to preen himself in and also reapply his eyeliner (a silvery-grey today), he glanced up at the compartment door open. He inwardly groaned, very tempted to dramatically lie down across the entire bench and see if he could stretch across to the other one as well. Just his luck that a younger student - a Hufflepuff - would have to want to sit here as well. Didn't she know who he was? Evidently not. However, he remained sitting, and he glowered towards Dahlia as she introduced herself. "Yes, I mind." He replied, though he doubted that he'd be listened to. He was not a babysitter, and he especially didn't want to end up finding himself designating himself as an unofficial, protective, 'big brother'. He had a reputation to keep intact, after all.

He was about to say something else, when another 2nd year student - a Slytherin - also joined without much asking, and went to sit at the window seat opposite him. "Yes, it is." Lee-Jae responded to the question, though he knew that there was probably little point in responding, because the student was already sat down. He narrowed his eyes slightly, noting the younger Slytherin's appearance with some hidden concern and not-so-hidden disapproval. Dammit, it was already starting.
With a deep sigh, Lee-Jae said, pointedly, "Yes, it was fine. Up until I realised I was babysitting for the next six hours." He pouted, then did take his pocket mirror out and looked into it, preening himself for a moment before asking, out of obligation, "What about you and your summer?"

bree // 15 // slytherin // fourth year // seeker // location; hogwarts express / tags; Celeste and Isabeau

That morning had been a bit of a rush for Bree. Her father and mother both had to rush to the ministry, after some urgent letter. Whatever had happened, had to have been big. It wasn't often that her mother was also requested since she left the ministry. Luckily they'd managed to drop Bree off at Kings Cross. Now, she wandered down the train after greeting some of her fourth-year friends. Peeking into compartments and squeezing past students on the platform, Bree scowled. They were either full or filled with students Bree didn't know or like. As she was about to give up, she spotted her fellow Slytherins.

Even at two years younger than both Celeste and Isabeau, Bree found both girls easy to talk to and good friends. "Morning ladies. How were your summers?" Celeste was even a distant cousin of Bree's, both related to the infamous Black family on their maternal side. However, Celeste was more like that side of their family than Bree would ever consider herself. Despite this, she enjoyed Celeste's company, and Isabeau was head-girl. It would never do to get on the wrong side of her.

lockie // 18 // ravenclaw // seventh year // captain/keeper/head-boy // location; hogwarts express / tags; elijah

Lockie had arrived early at Platform 9 ¾, helping to guide new first years onto the train and make sure no one was breaking rules, school or ministry. He'd been in his robes since he had dressed the morning, and the brunette pulled at his tie, wandering down the corridors. So far, nothing eventful had happened, apart from his own owl cage falling over and releasing Borya. The eagle-owl had hooted in annoyance, but for now, he was safely roosting in the prefect compartment. Pausing to speak to some Ravenclaw third-years, Lockie spotted a lost-looking boy further up the corridor. The boy had to be at least a fourth year, so it was strange to Lockie that he looked lost. Deciding he looked like he needed help, he bid farewell to the third-years and headed over. "Hey there, you look a little lost, can I help? I'm Lachlan James, Head Boy."

Holding out his hand to the boy, a thought suddenly occurred to the older boy. Professor Longbottom had mentioned something about a new fifth-year student to him and Isabeau just before summer. All he knew, was that this new student only knew about being a wizard for a couple of weeks. He knew how frightened some of the new first-years were, he couldn't imagine coming to Hogwarts as an older student. Especially when everyone else knew so much and were already friends. Lockie had been lucky, with an older brother and the MacTomas siblings, Isabeau and Alexi as his friends.

Rowan Blackhoof
Herbology Professor / 26 / Male / Satyr
Tags: Skylar Location: Hogwarts Express

"You're right, it's not. The main textbook will cover everything you need to know, but no harm in doing a little extra reading. Check out the semi-aquatic section when you get a chance. We'll be taking a look at some marshy plants this year. How was your summer?"

As he spoke, Rowan awkwardly tried to make himself more comfortable. These benches clearly weren't made with goat legs in mind. He eventually settled on sitting on the very edge, stretching his legs out, his hooves resting at the base of the other bench. "I could really use another way to get around," He said, "That flying car in the forest would be great, if it wasn't so ornery."

Lucas Searoby
Slytherin / 17 / Male / Half-Vampire
Tags: Open Location: Hogwarts Express

Lucas stood alone at the platform, as had been standard procedure for the last seven years. He didn't have anyone to see him off to school. No one at the boy's home cared if he was gone. He suspected they were more likely to be relieved. His face was nestled into a scarf, which was frayed and worn from years of daily use. His robes were shabby, faded, and bore holes near the trim. His shoes were just as atrocious: black leather work boots, scuffed and worn, the laces too long. He was hardly dressed like a proud Slytherin.

To match his ghastly clothes was his waifish appearance. His hair was bedraggled, black curls uncontrolled. His skin was deathly pale, and even as his stood in the shade away from the sun, threatened to blind any who looked at it. His eyes sported heavy bags underneath. Every year, he would come to school looking like death after a summer of not being allowed blood. The foster home refused to provide it for him, and Lucas wasn't one to go around hunting for it. He could survive on human food alone, if just barely. Once he got to Hogwarts, he would visit the school nurse to be given a bag of blood nicked from the human blood bank. One bag a week was his allotment, and it made all the difference in the world.

Silently, the boy entered the train and made his way towards the back. The compartments back there filled up last; he knew this by heart. As soon as he had a seat, he pulled the book he'd chosen to travel with from his bag. The dustcover read 5000 Potions and Their Applications , however, it was suspiciously ill-fitted on the actual book.

He settled in and flipped to his bookmark. A couple other students began to enter his compartment, took one look at him, and promptly left to find a seat elsewhere. Lucas had...a reputation around the school. Many saw him as suspicious, shifty, and some even claimed evil. He never bothered to correct them, which honestly didn't help his case much. Lucas wasn't evil, but he wasn't the most socially adapted either.

[Yuroshi]

Draco Whitewood — Male — 15/5th — Ravenclaw — Lucas Searoby

Vincent Draconis Whitewood made his way through the column that led to platform 9 3/4 alone, and quite content. His trunk was shrunken in his pocket, and his “cat” Nox trotted obediently at his side. He held no resentment towards his parents for not being there. He was already fifteen, after all, and they’d both been present for his first trip, and wasn’t that enough?
He made his way calmly and unnoticed through platform and into the Express. The front of the train was packed and loud- not at all what he preferred- so he made his way towards the back. Upon coming to two carriages which seemed to fit his purpose, he hesitated for a moment before turning to the one on the left. If he sat alone, that might call others to join him, but if he sat with an older slytherin? No one would bother him. That is, if the other would let him stay. He vaguely remembered that this one- Lucas Searoby, if memory served him - had a bad reputation. But... in all his years at Hogwarts, Draco distinctly remembered Lucas Searoby being a “background character” in his life. In other words, they had absolutely no interactions besides perhaps a few nods of greeting.
Steeling himself in case things went wrong, he knocked once as warning before gently opening the door and entering, Nox imperiously striding in and jumping up onto the bench across from Lucas.
“I’m Vincent Draconis Whitewood, but prefer Draco,” he said quietly, obviously somewhat awkward. “Do you mind if I share your compartment?”
He didn’t sit, and wouldn’t until he got permission from the older student, instead focusing on the other’s scarf.

Gabriel Rookwood — Male — 11/1st — Hufflepuff— Open

Gabriel walked up to the barrier with his “Nana” Rookwood beside him. She gave him a swift and proper kiss on the forehead before turning to head back home with only a small parting phrase.
“Make me proud.”
As Gabriel took a deep breath and walked through the barrier, he knew he’d try his best to do just that. Pulling forth the acting skills and grace he’d gained from his career as a dancer, he began to stride through the crowd, pulling his trunk, thankfully a wheeled one, with him. He reached the train and some smiling people with yellow trim on their robes took his trunk, promising they’d take care of it. Seeing as Freyja had flown ahead to this school of magic already, he had no problem with it, and offered them a shy smile and a thanks. Then he began to walk through the train, his new wand tucked safely into a wrist holder his Nana had given him. He tried not to act too nervous, and for the most part succeeded, but his somewhat aimless wandering through the halls of the train may have given him away. He wanted to sit down with someone, but for all his performances, his true personality could be rather shy.

Celeste pushed her robe off the seat beside her offering her a spot, as she'd command one of the bishops forwards on the chess matt. "How are your parents Breanna, what are they up to nowadays?" Her eyes studying the chess board carefully as Isabeau would move hers. Celeste wasn't really all that great at the game but it passed the time rather fast.

xxxxxxxxAlabaster hated this part of his journey to Hogwarts, it always made him anxious. After saying goodbye to his parents he'd quickly make his way to the very last cart keeping his head low trying not to make eye contact with others. He quietly lowered himself into the seat and closed the door, hoping no one would bother him until he was forced to make small talk with someone as he'd be the last cart available. He'd rest his chiseled chin on his hand and started out the window to see parents waving to their young wizards and witches, his parents had already returned back home as they'd said their goodbyes before he had gotten onto the train.

She grabbed her sweater off the seat across from her motioning for him to have a seat."It's nice to meet you, and ah another Ravenclaw!" She smiled her dark eyes lighting up from the company. "How has your summer been darling?" She was now sitting up from her previous small nap she'd been having to focus on Alexi.

Isabeau MacTomas -- Female|17|Pan|Slytherin|Head Girl|Year 7|Hogwarts Express | Tags;; Celeste, Breanna

Isabeau smiles at her friend as she pulls out the chess board. Of course, Celeste would choose the one game Isabeau had never gotten good at: chess. She had been 15 before even learning the rules, and she still messes up occasionally. Before she can reply to her, Breanna walks in the cabin. While Isabeau is two years above Bree, she has never cared much about age differences. Or house differences, or any difference, for that matter. She loved to embrace the weird. "Good morning, Bree. My break was dull, quite like my brother. I plan to have much more fun during the year, where I can interact with real, genuine people. I've got that title of Head Girl now, and I'm still the best Chaser this side of the train. I was considering being a teacher's aide, but it depends on you all. D'you have anything wonderful planned this year?"

Alexi
Alexi MacTomas -- Male|18|Gay|Ravenclaw|Year 7|Hogwarts Express | Tags;; Andromeda Rose

He nods politely, then comes into the compartment. He attempts to keep his serious face, but can't help smiling. Alexi's guess as to who she was is spot-on. What Ravenclaw doesn't love being right? Besides, with a Ravenclaw DADA teacher, they may learn unique things this year! Turning to sit across from the professor, he starts to question about things he finds important: class, her interests, and dueling. "Wonderful! My family spent a time hiking and touring the countries of Europe; wha' abou' you? Do you have any interesting lessons for Defense Against the Dark Arts? Say . . . dueling, per'aps?" He appears especially interested in this subject; Alexi has always wanted to be a respected wizard, and since his strong suit is dueling, he has decided to pursue it. Well, in a sort. His goal is to become an Auror, which, with his grades and dueling ability, he believes he will be able to manage.

Lia
Dahlia MacTomas -- Female|12|Ace|Hufflepuff|Year 2|Hogwarts Express | Tags;; Lee-Jae, Alistair

At this, Dahlia breaks into a wide grin. She had known he wouldn't recognize her! Not with her hair cut and colored, and her growth spurt during the summer. Perhaps she could torture him a bit. She turns to the Slytherin boy she knows as Alastair, a Slytherin in the same grade as her. Of course, none could be as awesome as Hufflepuffs, but as far as Slytherins go, he was pretty decent. She packs her trunk away and plops down right next to Lee. "Well, Mr. I'm-Too-Slytherin-Ta-Speak-With-A-Hufflepuff-Lee, my break was great. I was able ta dye my hair pink, and you dinnit even recognize me! I'm Lia, Isabeau's sister." Turning her attention to the other boy, she offers a friendly smile and a small wave. "It's nice ta meet ya. What's yer name? And why da most Slytherins wear makeup? I find it fascinating."

Dueling is personally my favorite way to teach, however, I do take the safety part very seriously."She clapped her hands together hearing about the boy's summer "Well that sounds magnificent! I spent my summer preparing interesting classes for my students, and creating spells." Andromeda wasn't one to travel she was more of a homebody, however, Hogwarts wasn't her home but she still considered it to be. She cocked an eyebrow her thoughts about the supposed ''Tom riddle curse'',"Now I've gone to Hogwarts a few years back and we seem to go through a lot of DADA teachers... However I do plan on staying until I've overstayed my welcome." She smirked hoping that she'd last more than three years.

alistair o'riley [ male / slytherin / 2nd year / location: station > train / tags: lia, lee-jae ]

Making himself comfortable, Alistair kicked off his shoes and curled up on the long seat, leaving his luggage heaped on the ground. He would pick it up in a moment or two. If Lee-Jae was determined to kick him out ( although Alistair didn't think he would ) Alistair was determined not to go down without some sort of protest. "You'll live," Alistair responded cheekily, undeterred, "Could be worse company, I s'pose."

"My summer was.. great. Went to lots of parties." It hadn't been actually - Alistair had spent most of his night sleepless. Whenever he did sleep, his mind was wracked by nightmares he couldn't even beginning to comprehend. Sleeping draughts did little to soothe his troubled dreams. To make matters worse, his mother had been determined to drag him to all sorts of proper functions, to chum it up with the sons and daughters of other pureblood wizards. Form connections, and whatnought. Honestly, Alistair found the entire ordeal bland and uninteresting. The people his mother wanted him to associate with scarcely had an original thought in their brains. It was all dreadfully boring stuff. He couldn't weasel his way out of them all, either.

Alistair smiled back at Lia. "Yer sister's wicked," he said in leiu of greeting, before holding out his hand. "I'm Alistair O'Riley." Honestly, he liked this Lia girl already. Anyone with enough guts to sass a Slytherin who had nearly a foot on them and a whole library of hexes in their head had to be pretty alright. Lowering his tone into a conspiratorial whisper, he leaned across the aisle towards Lia. "I think Lee-Jae likes it because he's really full of himself." He said slyly, before giggling.

elijah green jr [ male / to be hufflepuff / to be fifth year / location: train / tags: lachlan ]

Elijah idled around as the compartments around him slowly began to fill. Witches and wizards of all ages pushed past him, and although a few seemed to take note of his unmarked robes, he was ignored for the most part. He had briefly considered sitting with a group of girls around his age, all of whom had been wearing robes trimmed with green and silver, but thought better of after a moment. They had looked to be in the middle of gossiping.

"Hey there, you look a little lost, can I help? I'm Lachlan James, Head Boy."

Startled out of his thoughts, Elijah swung around quickly, nearly clipping the other boy with one of suitcases in the process. "Sorry," he mumbled, looking down at his feet. "You surprised me. I'm er, Elijah Green. Fifth year..?" He offered Lachlan a subdued grin, before setting one of his bulging suitcases down to shake his hand. "I wasn't sure where to sit." Elijah admitted after a moment, "Everyone already seems to know each other."

[Yuroshi]

Gabriel Rookwood — Male — 11/1st — Hufflepuff— Divya Kae Blackwood

Gabiel was quite surprised when he heard someone call out to him, especially when he realized it was a much older girl! He knew enough about the reputation of boys his age, so thought she was exceptionally kind, mentally putting her name down as someone to remember. He gave her a tentative smile as he walked in, more than a little shy. Nana Rookwood had taught him some of the “pureblood nonsense,” but he figured since she didn’t use it, he’d be fine as well. He just hoped he wouldn’t recognize or judge him by his last name, though he knew it was unlikely she’d recognize the last name as one of a death eater- a lot of time had passed after all.
“My name is Gabriel... Gabriel Rookwood. It’s nice to meet you, Miss Divya. Thank you for letting me sit with you.”
His smile grew a bit as he sat down and became more comfortable. Even if she was basically an adult, she didn’t seem that bad! In fact, she seemed really nice. And just from what he’d gotten so far, she seemed like someone worth trusting. With that thought he let himself relax even more, though he still sat properly.
“It is pretty nerve wracking... but being nervous is just like being excited. I think it’s a good thing. And thank you, I’ll keep you in mind if I need help... did you say you were the Gryffindor quidditch captain? How is that?”
He hoped it would be okay to ask- he didn’t want to bother the older student, but also didn’t want to be rude by being too quiet. Quite frankly, he wasn’t too sure what to do, so he did what he was taught- he improvised.

"Strange thing happened with them this morning," Bree glanced out the window as she sat down on the other side of Celeste. "Both were called down to the Ministry, some urgent business. Guessing it was something to do with dragons since they asked mother down..." She didn't finish her sentence, not wanting to say too much. Or think too much into it. If it was anything worth reporting, the Prophet would write about it tomorrow. "Well, actually win some Quidditch matches for a start."

Bree laughed as she turned to Isabeau. As the seeker of the Slytherin team, it partly fell on Bree's shoulders to win matches. Slytherin had won quite a lot of their matches since Bree had come to Hogwarts. But they still hadn't won the Quidditch cup which would have ensured the House Cup for Slytherin. "Can't wait for the feast and the Sorting Ceremony." This would be her fourth ceremony, including her own. She felt for the bewildered first-years, some brand new to their world, others cocky. For the new Slytherins, she had always tried to make sure they felt welcome and comfortable. The rumours which had surrounded their house for years scared a lot of new students. Even after so much time had passed, Slytherin was still seen as the dark house.

"Don't worry, you'll soon get to know people. I could see if I can find some of your fellow fifth years or you can come and sit with me?" Lockie offered. It wasn't strictly correct for anyone other than prefects and the Head Boy/Girl to sit in the prefect carriage. However, Lockie told himself that he had permission to invite people into the carriage if he wanted. Anyway, Elijah seemed nervous and Lockie believed it would be better to help him than abandon him.

"You'll enjoy Hogwarts, make most of your time there. I wish I was a first-year again." The brunette admitted, laughing. He began to lead the way, picking up the suitcase Elijah had sat down. This was very forward of him, but Lockie was always one to follow through any idea he had, even if it was stupid. Nearing the door of the prefect carriage, at the end of the corridor, he could hear Borya hooting. The Verreaux Eagle owl had been a present when he was made a prefect in his fifth year.
