Hogsmeade Station

[Maiya Kajuji]

Jane stepped out of the train with Allen. She had bright smile on her face and she was filled excitement.The bustle of new students, the smell in the air. It all seemed perfect. Jane examined the large crowd and spotted a flash of deep read hair. Her eyes lit up. "Phi!" She yelled over the large crowd. She waved trying to draw her friends attention. "Phi!" She yelled once again for good measure. Jane waited for her happily, hoping she had noticed.

Her voice was thrown into the air with a familiar voice to escort it to Phinelia's ears. Her bright red head immediately swiveled to face the speaker and a bright smile spilled onto her features as she spotted her Hufflepuff friend. Her arm jumped into the air in an attempt to wave. Trying to push herself in between the standing bodies to come closer to Jane, she left Hermes with Colton and Ronyo.
"Jane! Hello Jane!" she chirped once they were close enough to converse. The smile brightened even more once she could see the familiar girl in all her detail. She also nodded to the white haired boy by her side, recognizing him as one that was present during the fire.

Jane smile grew when Phi finally noticed her. She threw her arms around the girl in a hug and then she let go and began to speak. "Oh Phi it's wonderful to finally see you again" She said. The letters had been nice but she had missed her so much. Being Thomas wasn't even near the same as seeing Phi everyday. It would be nice to be able to talk to a girl again, that was for sure.

The hug certainty surprised Phi, but she only hesitated a second before reflecting the kind gesture. Hugs and the physical sort of affection was strange for Phi, not to say her Muggle parents were unaffectionate, but they would show their love and pride in other gestures.
Hugging the other girl lightly felt natural, however, and Phi smiled still.
"You too." she nodded, red pigtails jumping from her shoulders.

Vanessa blinked when someone called her name. She thought no one had really noticed her. After all she tended to stay in the background making observations of those around her. Her grey eyes fell on the guy whom had called her name. He was one of the slytherins in her year. What was his name again... Derek? no. Daniel? no that's not it either. Oh, she remembered now

Placing a polite smile on her face, she headed over towards the guy. "Hello Drake," she said hoping that her voice in no way showed that she had forgotten his name before she responded to him. She realized while waiting for a response that she had her notebook and could have just looked it up but then it would have been quite obvious.

Drake smiled making a mental note that he was easy forgotten. He was in a way happy he was easy to forget. In another it peeved him that he easily faded away. He pulled on his best poker face, Making his jaw line a little more square.

He had only grown half a inch over the summer and was still about the same size as he was in the last year. And was unhappy to see that Nott was in fact taller than he was by at least two inches. He wrinkled his nose at the thought and looked up just in time to put on his smile, letting the thoughts fade.

"Long time, no see." He said as he sat back down on his trunck and invited her to sit. "So how was summer?" he asked with another smile. He pulled two suckers from his robes and offered her one.

The train ride to Hogsmeade Station had been a rather silent one, with each of the three friends tending to their own thoughts. Colton had a lot on his mind, including the group's newest problem of Phi desiring to know about her blood background. However, even with the memory of Alfons having a full blown mental breakdown in his family's study and his mum's resultant misery, on top of their inability to find any worthy information on Ronyo's duel wand situation, Colton was still able to look back on this past summer with a persistent smile.

As they rolled into the station, Colt gripped the handle of Hemlock's cage, promising him a treat when he returned from the sorting ceremony. Filing out of the compartment, down the claustrophobic aisle, and out of the train door behind Ronyo and Phi, Colton's slow pace didn't indicate that he was in any sort of hurry. He watched as Phi sought out their Hufflepuff friend, who he himself hadn't seen since he had carried her to the hospital wing the night of the fire. Giving Jane a casual wave and a gentlemanly nod of his head, the boy set his luggage down next to Phi's, which he scooted a little to the left to separate himself from a growing gaggle of first years that was quickly forming behind him.

Situating his owl on top his less important belongings and rubbing the top of his fresh buzz cut, Colton sighed quietly and gave Ronyo an inquisitive look. The stern Gryffindor had little to no friends outside of their small triangle, so he felt a bit out of place among all of these returning students. He watched the frenzy as they scrambled around like baby geese, nearly all of them lost and in search of their mothers - or in this case, in search of all the friends they had made over the last year or so. With all the drama that his first year had presented, Colt saw little change that he could've made to avoid coming off as the unsocial, I'm-too-cool-for-you type. With Blake's mental attacks, the fire, and all of the topics of focus over their group's summer of research, adding even one more person into the handful of people he gave notice to would have only been taking away time that he already didn't have.

Straightening his scarlet and gold striped tie, Colton assumed his usual public facade that consisted of an empty expression and observant gray eyes. After the inches he had gained over the summer, he was now at a towering five feet and six inches, a lion among most of the second year mice. Knowing that he still had plenty of height to come, his mum had made him buy two new sets of robes, the ones he was wearing, and an even bigger pair that he had left at home until the time came where his ankles began to show too much. The athlete in Colton Raines had forced him out of bed by dawn every morning to ensure he had time to either take a couple of laps around the lake, go for a quick run along the river, or get a few good hits on the punching bag in the garage. Needless to say, his premature muscles were even more prominent and toned than this time last year. Yet somehow, he couldn't seem to understand why he was quite literally repelling the first years, looking back into their wide eyes with confusion rattling in his brain, though didn't allow even a hint of emotion to play across his perfectly-sculpted face.

"Is it too soon to herd them towards the carriages, or do you think they're still busy catching up with 'girl stuff,' or whatever it is that Phi's been deprived of for the past month?" The brilliant smile that took control of Colton's full lips would have seemed completely foreign to him a year ago as he addressed Ronyo, his illuminated eyes pouncing from him to the set of girls that stood chatting just a few yards away, eventually resting on Phi's burning red hair.

Vanessa shook her head in response to both offers. One was because she had been sitting for a while on the train and didn't really feel like sitting anymore. The other she had also been munching on sweets and various other treats during that time. "No thanks. As for my summer it was ok. Wasn't really anything of interest happening." she replied.

It then struck her that this was probably the longest she had spoken to anyone in their house. She usually just sat by herself making her Observations in her notebook. There was really no point in her doing that just a habit she had picked up.

Drake shruged and put the sucker back in his pocket. "Going to try for the house team?" he asked playing with the Anderson crest ring that was on his left ring finger as if to prove that the weight of his name would soon thunder down upon him.

He had accepted his role with little complaint as normal with him. But he hated the though of taking over that goram house. The estate was to be pasted to him as soon as allowed by the Ministry. He didn't want it of course, but he was quick to follow orders from his father.

So he accepted, and was given the heir's ring. The power ring of the Anderson line as custom. It looked like a normal class ring from a muggle high school, but had the anderson crest thrown in the middle of it, though the outside was to portray the person themselves. His had turned into a snake that bit it's own tail and had the crest ingraved on its back, a ring of emeralds circled through it and lace the top and bottom of the ring.

Drake noticed the nervice habbit and plunged the hand into his pocket, hoping no one knew about it, though it was sure to have reached someones ear's by now.

Ronyo Storm - Slytherin
second Year

It was nice to see familiar faces around the station even if some of those were not the most favorable. Ronyo kept his eyes open for any o the possible people they had wanted to keep tabs on this year. Ronyo was clever enough not to allow his eyes to wonder over anyone in particular and allow his peripheral vision to pick them out.

Hearing Phi and Colton talk about carriages had Ronyo trying to think back to anything his mother told him about his second year. He did recall mention of some magical carriage of some sort but he had heard little about them from anyone else. Seeing their red headed friend run off to greet Jane put a smile on Ronyo’s face knowing Phi was likely lacking a lot of female interaction, even with Colton’s sister someone of Phi’s age always helped. Turning to Colton the white haired boy just chuckled a bit and looked around the station more.

“We should probably at least find a carriage for…the four of us before they all get taken,” as Ronyo passed by Colton to begin his way towards the area he saw other upper classmen were heading he made a soft remark to Colton, “I have not seen Blaire or anyone else of note yet have you?” a smile appeared on the Slyhterin’s face as he moved on “I’m sure Phi and Jane will follow us is short when we start moving on.”

William Dante Nott the Third

Second Year, Slytherin

And so he carried on, despite all wretched notion of reminiscent dreams, Tay had meandered through the crowd lost under his unchanged height through the bustle of upperclassmen students. Eyes of golden retribution sought the form of a familiar face, Woil’s, but in the state of Roi’s mind. As he neared the line of carriages, he paused if only for another moment to gaze upon the leather winged beasts and their white eyes. They were marvelous really, invisible to the innocent eye and a foreboding disposition that wards off most enemies simply by appearance. Who else could see them, he wondered, a fleeting thought as he reached higher ground and then finally came across the object of his destination. ”Mate,” Tay greeted him simply, eyes veering around to look behind only to find the unmistakable group of clashing colors, the wonder trio and their little Hufflepuff friend. And he still couldn’t help but wonder what all had been overheard on that fateful night at the end of their first year…

His lips peeling back into a smirk at Ronyo's reply, Colton dipped down and armed himself with two owls, a broomstick, and several bags, feeling no need for hesitation before he had picked up Phinelia's luggage with his own. Smiling to the pair of girls from several feet away, they Gryffindor moved back to Ronyo's side and they began to trudge along behind the flow of upperclassmen.

Before he could strike up conversation, his misty gray eyes grazed over a pair of darker ones, dropping further to confirm his suspicion when he spotted the green and silver that adorned the small boy's robes. From a distance, it appeared as if William Nott hadn't changed much - or grown for that matter. Tugging his attention away from those leering eyes, Colton whispered beneath his breath to his best man. "Depends what you mean by of note. His hands full, Colt gestured towards the boy who was situated near the carriages using only his eyes, pretty sure that Ronyo would not overlook him if he only cast his attention northward. He could already feel the weight of the next year becoming heavier, but he forced himself to focus on the good over the bad...for the time being.

Faylinn turned to look at the girl that held out her hand and stared for a moment before taking it. "Hello, my name is Faylinn MacArthur first year," she uttered quietly, shaking the hand and letting go. Never being around people made this meeting very nerve wracking not that she'd ever let Seren know. The girl seemed like a first year too, which, would not surprise her. There were many. Was it always so crowded? The things she had read on Hogwarts did not give the school enough credit..  

[Skuld HJG]

Jessica Sassareth

Slytherin, Second Year

Jessica Sassareth disembarked from the Hogwarts Express in her black robe and Slytherin tie neatly in a proper Winsdor knot. The pale redhead was feeling a little better about herself, she looked around for familiar faces. She immediately locked gazes with Phi, who Jess didn't reguard as a rival but as an intellectual peer. Jess gave Phinelia a pleasant smile and a nod. Seeing that she had a lot of people around the Ravenclaw, Jess simply waved and then began to look for Charlotte.

As she glanced around, Jessica didn't spot her. Confusion showed on her knitted eyebrows, "Where is Kat? Hmmmm...."

Bubo hooted from his cage, and Jess looked down and nodded at her grey owl, "Right. Better make my way for the carriages..."

As she turned toward the carriages, Jess froze as she stared at the thestrals set to pull the carriages. Her green eyes locked on to the gaze of one of this skeletal breed of winged horses. She quickly glanced to the other students who didn't seem to be aware of the magical beasts presence. Jess blinked hard and looked back to make sure she wasn't seeing things... but there they were.

......


Then it dawned on her what the creatures were, Jess' thoughts began to reform in a cohearant state, Thestrals. Of course, they're thestrals. Right. I remember reading about Hogwarts stabling a number of them.

(Jess saw her friend Miles Pendragon die, when they were both poisoned before Jess' first year.)  

[Commander Aran]

Roi had been staring at one of the ghostly horses as well, having seen and witnessed many deaths when he was still alive. He smiled as he heard the familiar, tiny foot steps, his minion had arrived, "Hello William." He said before the young boy had yet to open his mouth. "You ready to get something to eat?" He said smiling as he turned around to look down at the boy. Woil had eaten before they left so he wasn't that hungry yet.
