　　　HAZEL STOOD INFRONT ‍ of the wall that separated her from the wizarding world. platform nine and three quarters, she simply couldn't
　　　 believe she was finally there. she had read the platform name over and over repeatedly to herself before, making sure not to forget a
　　　 single bit of it. the sight of a young girl simply staring at a wall did indeed warrant a few strange looks in her direction, although she c
　　　 ouldn't blame them. she was just like them before she received her letter, stating her to be a witch. what a fright it had given her par
　　　 ents! they were beside themselves with worry; their own daughter, a witch! it took them a bit to adjust, but they seem alright now, se
　　　 eing as they took the trouble to let her go to the school at all. but now, as she bids her parents goodbye and runs through the center o
　　　 f the platform wall to board the train, it all seems very exciting to her. now she must face the real challenge; finding a compartment.

　　　 JASPER PARKED HIS ‍ his bike outside in a little spot that was easy enough to find. or at least, what he thought would be easy to find. his
　　　 father would surely have a fit finding it, seeing as he would be the one to pick it up and bring it home after jasper's departure. he had b
　　　 id his father goodbye before he left the house, although he was unable to see him off due to a heavy work schedule planned that very d
　　　 ay. he didn't mind it much, he understood his father had work to do. he did, too. although his was more of the magic sort, you see. gath
　　　 ering his belongings onto one of the station provided carts, he quickly ran into the platform wall to arrive at the boarding station for the
　　　 hogwarts express. before him stood a marvelous sight indeed, witches and wizards of all ages bidding goodbye to their family as they ca
　　　 me and gone as quickly as they had arrived. younger students hauling their luggage into the train, others boarding with simply a backpack.
　　　 he boarded the train alongside them, being one of the selective few that had simply a backpack or two to carry with him. he began to sea
　　　 rch for a compartment, peering through the windows of many, hoping to find one that was relatively empty, if not completely.

　　　AMELIA STOOD AMONG ‍ a crowd of carters, lost within the sea of aunts, uncles, cousins and nephews alike. you see, her family had a bit of a
　　　reputation of inviting the entirety of their bloodline to see a fellow carter begin their first journey hogwarts. she supposed she didn't mind, a
　　　lthough the pinching of the cheeks from some of the older relatives did tend to bother her quite a bit. she tried to hurry along the process, bi
　　　dding a quick farewell to whichever carter attempted to approach her next. she had no time for small talk, as the train was about to leave. p
　　　ushing through the remaining few, she began her running start into platform nine and three quarters. behind her she could hear the calls and
　　　goodbyes of the many carters she left behind. she had gotten used to the sight of the platform after so many visits to it due to the carter fare
　　　well parties she had to attend herself. because of this, it no longer dazzled her as it should have. picking up her luggage, she lugged it up and
　　　over the boarding stairs and into the train. bored by the idea of sitting and making small talk in a compartment, she chose to simply sit down
　　　on one of the emptier patches of the floor, her luggage sat in a heap at her side.

Ione wandered down the corridor of the train. She had waved goodbye to her parents just before, and although she had seen many tearful hugs on the station platform her's was a cheerful one. In her first year, of course she had been scared at going away for such a long time to somewhere she hadn't been before, but now all she wanted to do was go to Hogwarts. Sure, school isn't fun, but Hogwarts was where she could see her friends all the time and play quidditch every day so she loved it there.

Deciding to stop walking, as there seemed to be no empty carriages anymore, she quickly glanced around to see if she could find a friendly face. Spotting her quidditch captain talking to a new boy, she smiled a bit and walked quickly over. Well, as quick as she could with all of the luggage that she had. Lachlan had picked up some luggage and began heading towards where the prefects compartments were, which is why she hurried a little. As she speed-walked over, she saw that the although the new boy hadn't got any house colours yet he seemed older than a as-of-yet unsorted first year. Interesting, she thought.

"Hey Captain Lockie!" She yelled out, trying to get his attention as she took the last couple strides. "Nice to see you after a summer of not waking up at ungodly hours," she joked, then turned to the brown-haired boy. Feeling way too short between the 6'2" keeper, and the newbie who was probably a foot taller than her, she introduced herself. "Hey, I don't think I have seen your face around before. I'm Ione Rivers and you're very tall..." she trailed off awkwardly, then spoke fast, "So what's your name and how are you?"

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, ione ]

"Either works for me." Elijah said wryly, "I don't mind either way." Following Lachlan's lead sounded better than the alternative, which was to say, standing around looking lost. Elijah fell into step a few paces behind Lachlan, humming noncommittally when Lachlan mentioned his own first year. Was Hogwarts really all that great? Had Elijah been given a choice in the matter, he likely wouldn't have chosen it. Lachlan probably wouldn't appreciate hearing that, however, so he remained quiet on the topic.

Snapping out of his thoughts at the sound of someone calling out a name before hurrying over, Elijah turned around to study the newcomer, a short girl with long dark hair. "Lockie?" He mumbled under his breath, chuckling at Lachlan, before facing Ione. "I'm Elijah. Transfer student." he said, "And I guess I'm good? Er, how are you?"

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

Lucas pulled a small note book out of his pocket to write something down, taking notes from the book. He flipped the page and began reading again, only to be interrupted by another student entering the compartment. His black eyes darted to the boy, and Lucas withdrew into his scarf a little, not unlike a startled turtle. As the boy spoke, Lucas only gave him that famous wild eyed look of his. He, of course, made no response back. After a moment, he tried to pretend like the boy had never spoken in the first place, and turned his eyes back down to his book.

└──────────────────┘

Danny stood on the platform with his mother by his side "You will never have to see your father again" She said kindly "No" Danny said and let himself smile. The familiar red train pulled up. Danny let out a sigh "Hang in there mom, it's only one more year" he said "don't worry about me, I have my ways of dealing with him" his mom said "Now good luck" she added "Thank you mom,see you in ten months" Danny said and hugged his mom goodbye before grabbing his trunk and his owl Wolfgang's cage and getting on the train. Danny liked to be on the train early, so he would have some time alone. He entered one of the compartments and put his trunk and the cage on the seat. He gave Wolfgang some food and smiled when the owl squeaked happily.

Danny took of his red leather jacket and smelled it, it smelled like vanilla like his mother. She had sprayed her perfume on it before they left so that one on hi clothing articles he was wearing didn't smell like dad. He put the jacket beside his trunk and opened his trunk taking out his uniform button up and pants. He smelled the white t-shirt he was wearing an the smell of alcohol, cigarettes and blood attacked his senses causing an unpleasant memory to surface. He quickly shook removed the shirt and without control accidently casted a wandless spell causing the t-shirt to catch fire. He cursed under his breath, and threw it on the ground stamping the fire out. The shirt was ruined he rolled his eyes and threw it out. He quickly switched pants when he realised people had started arriving. He put his button up on but didn't bother buttoning it before putting his trunk up on the over head shelf

He nodded slightly. It was always worth doing the extra background reading - especially if there was a particular focus on certain plants that they would be studying. "I will do," Skylar replied, making a mental note of the suggestion. His curiosity was also piqued as he wondered what the specific marshy plants were. He would quite like to get a headstart in studying up for them, although he supposed it wouldn't matter too much if he didn't find out in advance. No doubt if he did, he'd get more eyerolls from a few other students in the class - they thought that he didn't see them, even though he often did, whenever he recieved praise or on the rare occasion that he answered a question. He shook those thoughts away, then refocused on the Professor's question.

"It was good. I visited Thornside's Greenhouse and Nursery a few times. They had some particularly rowdy Fanged Germaniums that I helped a little with. How was your summer, Professor?" Skylar replied, then glanced away, as though embarrassed by this. He was, a little. For one, he just didn't really like talking about his achievements because he didn't want to seem like he was bragging, and also because as part of his end-of-year exams a couple of years ago he was assigned an especially fierce, venomous sub-species of Fanged Germanium, which he'd been bitten by and had ended up in the hospital wing for a couple of weeks - which he was embarrassed by.

Then, Skylar seemed more curious. He'd heard about the Ford Anglia in the Forbidden Forest, but he didn't know that it was still there. "It's still there? It must look quite interesting by now, being in the Forbidden Forest for so long." He commented, thinking about it for a moment.

Lee-Jae Dai
16|Male|Bisexual
Slytherin
Tagged: Lia, Alistair

He glanced towards Lia, with another frown. "That's Lee-Jae to you and everyone else." Lee-Jae responded, a little sharply. He hated nicknames or having his name shortened - it wasn't that hard to say or pronounce, and just felt disrespectful to himself and his parents. Also off-putting. Then, he rolled his eyes again. "I barely know who you are anyway." Lee-Jae added. He knew her sister, Isabeau, quite well, yes, but he hardly found the need to know or remember the Hufflepuff and the other sibling that he vaguely remembered there being. The make up comment was also quite irritating, though he reminded himself that she was just a kid before he ended up thinking up a hex to use.

Lee-Jae then glanced towards Alistair again. "Actual parties? Or boring gatherings of purebloods talking about the same three things over and over again?" He was a pureblood himself, yes, but that didn't mean that he was going to stick up for the boring ones or those with a superiority complex.

Hearing the whisper, Lee-Jae sighed sharply before glowering at the two. "There's nothing wrong with liking the way I look in eyeliner. And myself in general. Just because I'm open about it." He responded to them, before preening himself for a few moments more until he finally put the mirror away.

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

Isabeau moves her next piece, hoping that Celeste can't think of a move to counter. Neither of them are great at chess, after all. At the mention of Bree's parents being called to the Ministry this morning, Isabeau perks up. She loves to hear the good gossip, since information can always be exchanged for other information. She gives a small, slightly twisted smile to Bree. "Well, let us know what all happens. I hope everything is alright. As for Quidditch, we have the best seeker and chaser pair; we'll win plenty of them, I'm sure. I'm looking forward to practicing, though; my mum is thoroughly against me flying. I wish you'd play, too, Celeste."

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

Alexi chuckles at the mention of the DADA curse. It was supposed to be broken after Voldemort died, but it had pretty consistently been the same. The teachers never could stay more than a year or two. The confirmation of dueling in class, though, and Alexi nearly forgets his train of thought. "We will be dueling? It's me only magical talent, really. I'd love to help with any demonstration, if ye need." Realizing he may have overstepped some bounds in his offer, he quickly retracts his statement. He had been meaning to apply for the aide position, but mentioning it before the year even starts might be a bit . . . well, eager. "Uh, if I become yer teacher aide, that is. I was planning on applying, but knowing ye like dueling if a big plus. And . . . Ye mentioned creating spells? Do ye often create them?"

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

Noticing at once that her and Alistair are likely to become great friends, she turns towards him. It does dawn on her that Lee-Jai dislikes the nickname, as well as her, but she's seen him interact enough with her sister to know he's unlikely to fight her. Probably. It may be best to be a little nicer, to both of them. She is a Hufflepuff, after all. "Sorry, Lee-Jae. I've heard Isabeau call you i' a few times, and figured i'd be okay. Ee also love your eyeliner; I've ne'er been able ta do i' myself. Bo is so good at i', and I'm left-'anded and cannit keep me arm still." Before she can say much more, another girl knocks on the door. She's definitely a first year, and looks mildly nervous, but not horribly. Probably a Gryffindor or Slytherin. "Of course not! Join us, come sit by Alastair here. These two are Slytherin, but they're no' 'oo scary. I'm a Hufflepuff, Dahlia. Who're ye?"

xxxxxxxxCeleste scoffed at Isabeau's request at her playing Quidditch, her play Quidditch? "You're mad Isabeau, I would never... I'm better off in the sidelines anyway, ya know?" Her eyes lifted as Bre had mentioned her parents being called to the ministry, "I've never liked visits to the ministry personally, but I hope everything is good with them." Celeste squinted at Isabeau's move hesitating but moving another bishop forward, she might sacrifice it but that was fine in the end... Or she hopped anyway. She had heard some gossip about the new DADA teacher and she thought Isabeau and Bre would like to hear about it, "Heard our new DADA teacher has had countless run-ins with the ministry." She paused and looked up "I'll give her a month before the ministry takes her to Azkaban." She laughed at the thought another DADA teacher gone down the drain, hopefully she'd teach them something to remember.

xxxxxxxxDivya smiled, "Yeah no problem you can come to me or the Head boy/girl if you need anything don't hesitate."She paused looking at him with a raised eyebrow, not having the best memory herself but the last name Rookwood did sound familiar. She shrugged it off "It's nice to meet you, Gabriel, Quidditch is a lot of fun. If you fancy the rush of adrenaline the game gives you." She laughed "Oh and the constant visits to the matron, but don't let that scare you." She nodded with the way he explained his emotions, "We've all been there, you're not alone. What house do you think you'll be placed in? Got an idea of a house you'd like to be in at all?"

xxxxxxxxAlabaster shifted uncomfortably as a bunch of 7th years entered his cart asking him questions about his supposed mind-reading ability he shook his head and grabbed his trunk and walked out of the cart. Most of the corridor of the train had been emptied except a few first years and the head boys/girls showing them to a seat. Keeping his head down as he walked to another cart, not paying much attention to his surroundings he bumped into a kid younger than himself. "I'm sorry..." He muttered looking up at the kid he had bumped into seemed to be a first-year his mind filled with confusion and a little bit of disgust, he looked into the cart to see a boy he had known as the Gryffindor Seeker. He personally didn't have a problem with him so he opened the door above the younger boy, "Do you mind if I sit here? Seems like the young one would like a spot to sit too." He smiled a little and looked down again.

You seem trust worthy."She was happy to know there was someone who'd be willing to help her, having an extra hand would be nice to have and he seemed particularly interested in DADA so this was perfect. "Dueling is a lot of fun! I enjoy it a lot." Her head turned down as he asked about the spells she'd create, she doesn't share them personally with anyone as if they got out to the wrong person it'd cause a lot of trouble, and she'd end up in Azkaban for sure. She looked over at the cart door that had been slid open standing up to look to see if there was anyone else out looking for an empty seat. Seeing no one she closed the door and sat back down. "I create different curse spells, much like Crucio but 'different'." She shrugged, "I don't use them on anyone or anything, however, the ministry doesn't like me doing this so I don't talk about it much." She smiled and looked up again "And no not often I try not to have the ministry over as much as possible." She laughed resting her hand on her chin.

└─────────────────────┘

Daniel spun around on the spot and to face the person he heard speaking and upon seeing a slightly disgusted first year he let out a snort of laughter he then saw a boy he recognized as the Hufflepuff Legilimens stick his head in above the first-year "Come right inside" He said and indicated the empty seats "Oh and sorry for the childhood trauma" He joked at the first year "Don't mind the smell of smoke, I accidentally lit a t-shirt on fire but I handled the situation " he said in a joking tone and began buttoning his shirt

"I'm Daniel Walker, gryffindor seeker" he introduced himself "You've probably heard about me" he said to the hufflepuff. Once he had fully buttoned his shirt her sat down beside his owl and put on his red leather jacket on. He pulled a hand through his hair and trailed his hand down his neck suddenly remembering the tattoo and silently cursed himself for not covering it with makeup or a scarf, but there was no going back now they would have surely seen considering how obvious bold it looked against his pale skin. He tucked his wand marked with tally marks in his inner pocket and turned his full attention to the other two students.
