Michelle snapped her mind to reality at the sound of her best friend's voice. She had all but completely forgotten that Ada was even anywhere around. Silver eyes flickered over the morose looking girl and she shook her head slowly. She broken her too... hadn't she?


Instead of mentioning that though, Michelle just offered the Hufflepuff a rare smile and turned back to the carriages. "Me.... no catastrophe?" She asked jokingly. "What would I do to keep myself interested without something bad happening?" She shrugged gently and draped an arm over the smaller girl's shoulders. It was a joke, but it also happened to be absolutely true. Danger, murder, blood, violence... it all seemed to follow the serpent around like a pet dog. She doubted she could go a few months without something bad happening. Hell... she wasn't even sure she wanted too.


She knew how to live in danger and murder, and blood, and violence. She could survive and even thrive in that kind of crap, but she didn't understand domesticity. She didn't know what to do when life was calm and collected an dull. She wasn't used to it. Carefully, she guided Ada through the rest of the crowd and onto an empty carriage.

Can't help if I space in a daze,

Rose stepped off the train, excitement thrumming through her system. She was finally a sixth year! Granted, she hadn't done as well on her OWL scores as she'd have liked, but she wasn't much for studying, to be honest. At least unless it was a subject she enjoyed. She had gotten in trouble for it by her dad, though. She looked around, grinning, and called behind her. "Claire, Tabitha, might wanna get a move on unless you want to be left behind. Otherwise you'll be left behind." With a slight squeal, she spotted Nell in the crowd. Granted, she had been subjected to the most embarassing interrogation ever by her family over the summer, but, well, they did have the right. Even if she had wanted to crawl under a rock afterward. She gave a wave to Nell. "Nell! Over here!"

Shina stepped off the train, looking around with a little smile hovering on her lips. This would be her last year at Hogwarts. The end of her childhood, end of that nostalgic time of ups and downs, housemates breath as your lullaby in the dorm, laughter and chatter and the flutter of wings in the great hall.

It was time though. She'd had a good run, and it wasn't over yet. But when the year closed, it would be time to set aside childish things and take up her responsibilities. She would be working with tutors over the summer to make sure her muggle education was acceptable, then she would be attending business school in the fall. She would have no time for quidditch or other diversions. And when she completed her degree she would begin to learn the handling of the company, working alongside her father, taking on more responsibility each year until he eventually quietly retired, leaving Shina in charge of the massive international company.

Shina briskly shook off her melancholy. If this was her last year to enjoy the freedoms of childhood, she should embrace it, not waste it woolgathering on the responsibilities of her future! Straightening her head girl pin, Shina looked around, making sure there was nothing that needed her attention.

Claire was beaming with pride when she stepped out of the train with her sisters. Words just couldn't describe how happy she was that both of her sisters were attending Hogwarts now. Rose was already in her sixth year, which made Claire a little sad because that meant in a year, Rose would graduate. Little Tabitha had yet to start her first year, however, which meant soon Claire would get to play the big sister role and show Tabitha around, and give her tips and hints on all the courses that Hogwarts had to offer. She nodded to Rose and smiled to Tabitha, petting her little sister gently. "Good luck, Tabitha! I'll see you in the Great Hall. You too Rose!" She gave Tabitha and Rose a quick embrace before darting off into the crowd in search for a carriage - preferably an empty one so she'd be able to read a little on the way to Hogwarts. She'd chosen Care of Magical Creatures as an elective, but from what she'd heard a vast majority of the creatures they'd be studying weren't the fluffy, furry kind that she had originally hoped for. Claire found an empty carriage near the middle of the pack and climbed in.

Do you really wanna be like them?

Do you really wanna be another trend?

Do you wanna be part of that crowd?

Cause I don't ever wanna

I don't ever wanna be

Luke didn't get far than a few paces before he was grabbed from behind. He whirled around, ready to snap at whoever it was, when he caught sight of Steffi's narrowed eye. He closed his eyes, feeling caught. He couldn't run here, not when the whole school was on the platform. As it was, he was certain that he couldn't run anymore. Not now. He'd been trying t all summer, and well... Opening his eyes again, he fixed her with a look. He knew she wanted to talk, but he could only catch part of what she said. "I really should come, huh? At least not make a scene in front of the whole school." His green eyes scanned the carriages, deciding that they should take one of them. Hopefully they would be left alone long enough, anyway. "Vogn da? Minst vi får personvern."

Stepping off the train, Yvette looked behind her to be sure her brother was following. The train had been busy, as usual, and though she trusted that he could find his way, she didn't want to be responsible for him getting lost or trampled. Making a pathway, she stood in an open area and looked around while she waited for the next available carriage to the castle, wondering if any of her friends were nearby.

Stepping off of the train, Quihn's first action was to stand as tall as he could to try and look over the heads of the other students of Hogwarts to spot one particular face. He hadn't made a great number of friends during his first year, but those that did stay strong had kept in contact with him. Especially her. Of all of the "friends" he had made, after one year he could already consider her his best one. And he was excited to see how much she had changed. The last time he had seen her she had been timid and dainty, with really long hair and big eyes. He just hoped that she hadn't changed so much that he wouldn't recognise her. He had, of course, grown a little over the summer.. and become even more confident in his magic. Granted, his temper hadn't improved, and his father said that his self-control had taken a step or two backwards. But those were little things, in Quihn's eyes. The only other difference he noticed was that his hair was longer -- and that shouldn't throw Nessarose off too much."Nessa!"

Tilting his head with a slight grin and shrugging a shoulder casually, Quihnan ignored her short list of questions to let his being there be answer enough. Of course he was ready.. Even if he wasn't, did she really think he'd let something keep him from at least trying as best as he could? He was a Scotsman, for Druid sakes! They were too stubborn to give up on anything, that easily."Aye, ' think so. Le's catch one, b'fore we git left b'hind."
That last bit had been meant mostly as a joke. But who know how much seriousness could come of it, if they spent too much time lollygagging.

((* You don't look 12, either. So shut up about it, already *smh*))
