SidneySidney gave a stiff jerk of his head, making eye contact with Evan. He had been watching the three conversing with their hands out of the corner of his eye, his gaze bouncing from one to the next as he tried and failed to glean some knowledge from the waves and flicks and shapes of their hands. Fig was still enjoying Evan, his friendly rat now sniffing around the new kids, wanting to make friends. The rodent's ease with people made Sidney both heartsick and angry, jealous. He clenched his back teeth together and gave Evan a curt nod in answer. He wanted very badly to ask what they were saying but he hated being at a disadvantage, a known one anyway. But he wasn't foolish enough to believe that Evan couldn't tell that he was absolutely lost.

"I'm afraid I am not fluent in sign language." He answered promptly, following his nod. His demeanor slipped back fully into the cold, posh persona. He spoke lightly, but in a way one might say was passive aggressive, only not so much aggressive as just irritated, or defensive.

He was sitting where he had been when he and Evan were talking but that boy didn't seem to be there now. Instead of a lounging, smiling boy there was a stiff backed, groomed and tailored young man looking cold and deliberate as he watched the three other students with blank, dark hazel eyes. He didn't know what to make of the two first years and he didn't like not being able to understand their conversation. And he didn't like being a Slytherin stuck in a cabin with a Hufflepuff and two new kids. If his friends saw him! Sidney wanted to go back to sulking in peace but he was beginning to feel torn again. He wanted to go back to talking to Evan. Her smile was still making him feel peaceful and happy but the interruption had broken the connection and he was back to his "old" self. The switch felt like whiplash to the poor boy. He looked past Evan, drowning his disappointment and unease with a hard swallow as he studied the landscape outside the train window. They had started to move now and Sidney was singularly thankful that the trip was underway. This had been a poor idea.

Evan frowned at the boy before her lightly, just enough to crease the space between her eyebrows and dim her smile, at how he had - suddenly it seemed- changed. She felt it had something to do with the fact that there were now two more people inside of the compartment whom in any normal day he would never even consider being in a 3 foot radius of. All because of that stupid reputation most Slytherins seemed to need to keep up. Evan knew of it, because for a time, her beloved brother had carried it around him as an aura. Whether just an aura, or a curse, Evan didn't know. But, for now, she would leave Sidney be, hoping perhaps their travel wouldn't be so bad for him. These were the thoughts that confirmed what most of Evan's friends called her "mom friend" personality.

"Sidney doesn't sign, I promise it's not a personal thing. And, advice wise, just... stay on the right side of Professor Snape," she signed to the boy, easily resting her face in a smile again, though, internally she was still a bit bothered by how cold the other around her age had become.

"So what are you excited for at Hogwarts?" she asked the dark haired girl - while signing the question to the boy out of courtesy- who seemed rather nervous, Evan's voice much more friendly as she addressed the younger girl, as it usual did when she spoke towards or with someone younger than herself. It wasn't necessarily 'baby-talk', but she always was a bit perkier in how she spoke with them.

She spoke, as she still wanted to not make Sidney too uncomfortable. It had been nice to talk with him before; Evan doubted they would talk that freely again during their journey, but, if she could get him to loosen up just a smidgen...

Hell, she had no idea why she cared so much for the feelings someone she'd about just met that day, but, it was again with the 'mom friend' feeling. She didn't like seeing someone she'd gotten along nicely with look so... glum. The hat had not been incorrect in placing her in Hufflepuff. These were the moments that solidified that for Evan.

Natalie Marie Winchester​

ϟ

location: home - compartment four | mood: intrigued | with: guinevere, satorious, and jack | tags: avira , The Silent Z , Webs Elk ​

One . . . two . . . three. . . she began counting in her head, a faint frown appearing on her lips. The young, curious witch sat on her stool, anxiously waiting for something to happen. But, no, nothing, zip. Groaning in frustration, she huffed to herself, blowing her hair out of her face. If there was a moment that Natalie felt like throwing a tantrum, these were one of those moments. Her specialties were always astrology and even tea leaves, but the tea leaves in her cup hadn't shown her anything interesting or important for the past few months!

One research after another that continued in a never-ending cycle, all she was granted was a dead end or a flop of a mess that didn't make any sense! Natalie had gone through countless Divination books that she was able to get her hands on, but it proved non-fruitful! She was never one to admit defeat or allow herself to feel despair, but with so many signs telling her that her abilities were a floosy and her abilities never wanting to "work" on cue, she was on a verge of just . . . just. . pulling her hair out which was a sin in itself. Natalie would never allow herself to look "worn-out" or "messy" no matter how unnerved she was.

Perhaps it's one of those cliche "expect the unexpected" moments and out of nowhere her "episode" relapse could occur and finally she can show and prove to others that she really did "see" her premonitions. However, Natalie frowned even more thinking of such an idea. She loved the unpredictability of seeing something that may occur in her premonitions, but even more so the adventures it would lead her on! Nevertheless, Natalie sighed loudly, placing her elbow on the table as she used her palms as a crutch to lean her head on. The books around her were floating in mid-air as if she had her own circled library of grimoires, spell books, and other books that were relevant to her gaining more knowledge and ideas on mastering her magic.

However, before she knew it, she found her thoughts drifting away as she remembered fondly of the her first few years at hogwarts. But, realizing that she shouldn't waste anymore time nonchalantly dreaming away, Natalie quickly shook away those thoughts and began cleaning up her respective area. She always loved putting things back in order and organizing her items. It made it easier on hers to stay concentrated in her studies and research without getting distracted with something being out of place.

As a knock was heard behind her, Natalie spoke loudly enough so the person behind the door could hear her, "Speak, friend, and enter!" She finished, grinning at the riddle she had given. If the person guessed the answer correctly, the door would automatically open for them. As Natalie hummed to herself, slightly moving around the room, she heard the door click open as loud clicking echoed on the wooden floors of the archive room. A sly grin appeared on her lips as she continued putting her books away as she didn't need to turn around to know who it was. "Aunt Matilda, to what do I owe this pleasure?" Natalie's spoke in a sing-song like tone, as she nonchalantly fluttered around the room.

The woman in mention, on the other hand, scoffed slightly as her arms were crossed around her slender, lanky, frame. Her glasses lifted near the bridge of her nose, not a hair out of place as it was put in a slicked back bun, and her body language showed an air of haughtiness but also pristine and poise. "Natalie Marie Winchester. Young lady, how many times have I told you to not speak to me in that tone?" Her nasally voice echoed across the room as she gave her god-daughter a scornful look. As Natalie listened to Aunt Matilda's scolding, she shook her head, sighing softly, as she finished tidying the room. Once she finished, Natalie turned around, giving her godmother her full attention.

Walking across the room gracefully, Natalie stepped towards her Aunt, giving her a slight nudge on the side, grinning at her playfully. Her aunt, on the other hand, was scoffing at her goddaughter's attempt at changing the subject, but a few moments later passed and she couldn't not let out a sigh and a slight smile. "Child, it's nearing the time for you head out. Are you packed? What are you still doing here? You are going to be tardy and that's unacceptable! Come on, off you go. You can focus on your abilities when you get on the train. Lots to do and people to see." At that, her Aunt ended up pushing Natalie out the door as she continued on nagging her.

Natalie honestly hadn't realized the time and almost had forgotten it was almost time to board the train. She definitely couldn't afford to be late! So, stopping abruptly in the middle of the hallways as she stood upright, almost scaring her Aunt. "Oh no! You're right! I have to go! I can't be late!" Natalie quickly turned around and gave a peck on her aunt's cheek before taking off down the hallway, walking with a purpose. But, before she left her home, she made sure to say good-bye to her mother and father. "Good-bye! I will write you. Thank you Aunt Matilda! See you soon, Mother, Father!"


Walking down the tight and clustered aisle of the train, a white and grey siamese cat walked along side Natalie as she looked around to see if there were any compartments open for her to fit herself into. "Apollo, do you see any empty spots?" She asked him, looking down at the small feline as he made his way down the aisle quickly but proudly. Apollo only mewed in response, not waiting for Natalie to catch up with him. Sighing, she shook her head, hoping there was an open spot left for her and her Apollo. She spotted her fellow housemates, but it seemed none of them wanted to leave room for her or even saved her a spot. With a huff, she shook her head as she remembered her dream of being left behind by the express train or even by others.

But, regardless of the fact that her housemates hadn't saved her a seat, she knew they always thought of her as odd since she tended to mingle with other houses. It never bothered her since she didn't understand the need to keep the "bloodlines" pure and free from mingling of other blood statuses. Natalie found non-magical folks interesting especially since she had heard they used astrology signs and the birth months to determine one's fate. It was intriguing! Speaking of astrology, Natalie ended up taking out the Quibbler, wanting to read the latest news of the Wizarding World. As she walked down the aisle with her nose stuck in the Quibbler, she had almost ran into someone, not looking to where she was going. A few apologies later, Natalie giggled softly looking down at Apollo deciding it was decided that she would bump into everyone on the train.

Soon, Apollo ended up squeezing him into an apartment that had their door slightly opened. With a small gasp, Natalie whispered, "Apollo? Wait for me." As she arrived at the compartment Apollo found himself wandering into, Natalie slowly opened the door, peeking her head inside, hearing some of the conversation that was going on, "Hello, I'm sorry about Apollo over there." she started as Apollo mewed, popping himself up on the empty spot that was next to Satorious. However, as Apollo sat next to Satyr, a wide grin appeared on Natalie's lips, "Satyr? Fancy meeting you here. How was your summer?" She asked, leaning against the door before taking in the others inside the apartment. Tilting her head to the side, Natalie looked between the three inside, only knowing Satyr on a more personal level than the other two.

Tapping her chin, Natalie walked inside, asking Apollo to scoot over as he made his way onto Satyr's lap before she sat down in the empty spot, "My name's Natalie. Once more, I apologize for the intrusion. Not a lot of seats were left and you'd think I would remember that considering I've been here for 3 going on 4 years already." She laughed softly before recognizing the other two across from her as she spoke to the female first, "You. . . ah, you're . . . Guinevere! The chaser for Gryffindor?" Natalie asked, enthused before her eyes went over towards the male, "And. . you must be Jack! The seeker of the Hufflepuffs? Satyr's teammate?" She asked the both of them, her smile widening as she tapped her chin. "What do you know? My luck's changing as I seem to have the best seat in the house. I have seen your games before, actually I go to all of them." Natalie said, slightly shy at admitting her love for watching Quidditch. But, as soon as she thought of Quidditch, an idea popped into her head. "Oh, you know what would be interesting? What if we make a bet? Or better yet, how about I try to predict who would win this year, yes?" Natalie asked, excitedly, looking around the room, smiling at all three of them.

Honeydukes Express - Compartment 2

After the exchange with Tyrus, the trolley lady gave the new first years a gentle smile and slid the compartment door closed again. It always warmed her heart to see a child offering to share.

With some effort, the trolley lady moved her cart to the next compartment over. Its occupants could hear its clattering, followed by a sudden silence. Without warning, the compartment door opened to reveal a smiling, dimpled woman and her very attractively arranged treats and sweets. She smiles at the students inside, putting them at ease. With exactly the kind of warmth one might expect, she asked, "Anything off the cart, dears?"

SidneySidney looked away from Evan and the two first years to watch Fig. The rat was making his way back to the lost fourth year, having finished his friendly exploration of the new kids. Apparently he had found them satisfactory, and before clambering back down he sniffed their hands. When Evan had first begun signing the rat had lifted himself up onto her stomach, standing on his hind legs just to watch the movement with curiosity. If one wished to pull the assumption that the boy and the rat were in any way mentally or otherwise connected it could be considered a betrayal of the curiosity that Sidney himself felt about the curious silent language.

Sidney gave a small, imperceptible sigh as Fig found his way back to his side, his back loosening slightly so he was no longer so stiff. His perfect posture still remained but he tried hard to be a little less cold in appearance. Evan's frowning expression had made him feel bad, which he found irritating in and of itself. He wasn't supposed to fraternize with these people, let alone feel bad for hurting their feelings or otherwise. But their conversation had been enjoyable, different than the conversations he had with his circle. More open, less practiced. More human.

Sidney turned his attention to the conversation of the other three, Fig curling up under his hand. Stroking his pet Sidney watched silently, wanting to ask what they were discussing. But he didn't need to because Evan had spoken aloud to the girl and Sidney found himself trying to warm up. The sudden shifts in his outward person frustrated him just as much as others though people didn't generally think that. But despite popular opinion he didn't like being like this- hot and cold in seconds- it made him feel disoriented. So he tried to get back to how he had been. Besides, what did it matter? He didn't have to see these people again if he didn't want to. Odds were that neither of the first years would be Slytherin, right? He considered it and decided that it wouldn't matter. Besides, the train was moving and his friends were who knew where.

So with Fig peeking out from under his hands Sidney sat with a silent but not unfriendly expression, going from solitary sulker to distant bystander. He was trying hard to make up for his sudden coolness. His sisters' pleas echoed in his head and he felt deflated, defeated. Pulling his legs towards him Sidney crossed an ankle over his knee, letting Fig and himself readjust as they listened in on the conversation. He supposed that Fig could make up for his masters' behavior. The rat was good at that, Sidney often let him fix what he broke, making friends with the first years might help apologize for his standoffish aloofness. Sidney was still too proud and too uncertain to fix his blunders himself.

Joey looked up at the new girl that entered and tipped her head to one side. She was really tall- Probably even taller then herself, which is an accomplishment in that of itself, and she gestured at the seat across from the two of them.

"Oh yeah, don't get me wrong I loved the little highlight thing you did, but I figured you wanted to hear my thoughts on that other thing first." she said, specifically avoiding saying something like, "hear my thoughts on the fact that your parents followed some big bad evil wizard guy that tried to kill all the other wizards with non-magical parents such as myself". She threw a wink at Lucinda before turning back to this other girl.

This other girl had made herself quite comfortable on the other seat, stretching her legs out and taking up the entire seat. She then asked them the same questions that Joey had been asking since the start.
"Hey, I got nothin'. I didn't even know magic was a thing until like three months ago. I could probably tell you more about the potato famine in Ireland."

  Before Jack could receive an answer from the girl, another girl entered the room. Jack was a bit surprised however, when the girl rattled off the names of everyone in the room. Jackf chuckled a bit when she revealed herself to be a huge Quidditch fan.
  
  "Oh, you know what would be interesting? What if we make a bet? Or better yet, how about I try to predict who would win this year, yes?"
  
  Jack continued to smile, despite not knowing completely what she meant, although he basically assumed she meatn through Divination or Arithmancy.
  
  "Why not!" Jack exclaimed. A little betting never hurt anyone so Jack has nothing against her idea.

  Clay felt something against her leg and looked down to see the cat. Clay laughed as she opened the cage of her own cat and sat her down next to Styx. Clay smiled wider as the two cats began playing with each other.
  
  "Bit l-late huh?"
  
  Clay was about to answer when she had an idea. She elbowed Kliff and gave him a look that told him to answer.
  
  Kliff blushed as he sat down next to the girl and responded, "Y-Yeah ... We had a little trouble getting out of our house on time to do a large number of people."
  
  Clay sat down on the opposite side of the two and added on, "We usually get everything planned out ahead of time, but everyone had something extremely important to do so it was pure chaos! Just imagine noise coming from all directions, items flying around the room at high speeds, 10 plus people running around with Maids and Butlers following behind each of them. I'm surprised we even made it out of there."
  
  Before she could continue, she was taken by surprise by the lady appearing in the door with a trolley of candy. She immediately lost all focus and excitedly turned towards the cart.
  
  "Anything off the cart, dears?"
  
  Clay grinned widely at she looked at Kliff, who started sweating nervously.
  
  Clay looked at Kliff more until turning towards Susanna and saying, "Get whatever you want! Everything's on me!"
  
  Then she turned back to the lady, "For me, I'll have 2 of all food/candy items, and one unit of all the drinks your selling. Also, although it's fine if you don't, but do you have something fish flavored?"
  
  As Clay continued interacting with the lady, Kliff started chuckling nervously. He looked at Susanna and said, "It may get a bit crowded in here. Clay is known for going back for more. However, looking on the bright side, you'll never get hungry with Clay around."
  
  Money was definitely no problem for Kliff and Clay. Not only were they given a large amount before leaving, their parents had promised to send them more money every 2 weeks.

╔ ΞBΞNΞZΞR ASH ╗

Ebenezer noticed how Sidney, an older student, sulked with his rat. At first he was concerned but then Evan confirmed it. All that upset and feeling left out over not knowing how to talk with a deaf person? Ben felt a cold rage erupt boiling to a dead simmer. Welcome to my world.

On top of that, Evan had the gall to tell him not to take it personal? These people were oblivious to the fact that sign language was almost systemically wiped out by the very people who didn't need it: those who could hear. Never mind the fact that deaf people never get the call back from workplaces they applied to. Every single day he had to "not take it personal" for hearing people's sake. Every time he had to put on a smile, swallow his pride and tears, and be silent.

His smile towards Sidney shrunk small, his eyes darkened like stones, and his hands held onto a quill, a vial of ink, and a clipboard that pinned several sheets of parchment. Scratching ink onto the papryus, he was ready to communicate in another way.

He handed it to Sidney.

When read, his note said: You still haven't told me your name.

Needn't be this hard but because of people like you, Ben thinks, I have to work even harder. That's a shame.

Sartorious Warbeck

​

"You can actually train with professors huh? Kinda surprises me that Mcgonagall would spend her free time like that, but cool too. Anyways..... Good to hear your summer has been well."

Sartorious responded in kind while giving a smile to the kind compliments of his skill as Hufflepuffs chaser from Jack. Truthfully Sartorious talked a good game about his skill but that was mostly him being competitive and confident, rarely to brag and become too arrogant in his ability. So hearing the praise was a nice thing to hear just as it would for anyone at any thing.

"I'd certainly do my best. Though I hope injuries don't plague us his year, losing you and Evan would be no picnic. Plus I like our chances this year if we stay healthy."

The fourth year spoke starting to now look back and forth between Jack and Gwen as they spoke. Giving a chuckle and small grin at the comment of Jacks, silently agreeing with it, after all despite the teams loss at beater and chaser. Sartorious was certain this would be a good year and even if the trio of Evan, Jack and Sartorious himself were needed to pick up the majority of the play to see it done. He was certain this would be the year to defeat Gryffindor and any other house.

"Here you go.... Told you Gwen it would be a year of awesome for the Hufflepuff team. The yellow and black will fill up the point and win column this year. You Gryffindors might just have to settle for second, if things go fine this year."

Sartorious playfully spoke while agreeing with Jack. Meanwhile his eyes shot toward the door of the compartment, hearing some noise heading their way and surely enough it was here. A Saimese cat of whom looked quite familiar entered in with a squeeze of his gray fur getting between the door and into the compartment joining the group of students.

"Hey yo, Apollo! Leading our Natalie on a chase I see? " Sartorious smiled with a chuckle as the cat hopped up next to him. Leading to Sartorious raising his hand gently scratching and petting the cat underneath it's chin. Now looking toward the voice of Natalie as she entered and apologized for Apollos entry.

The fourth year Hufflepuff smiled and gave a nod. " Fancy indeed. I'd say your apollo still does quite well in leading the right spot." He spoke briefly looking to Apollo and continuing to the pet the Siamese with move to the top of his head. "My summer was alright, I guess. Filled with work though and settling into the new place. What about you? Do anything fun during the offseason?" Sartorious asked using a sporting term for summer. While sharing a warm smile as he spoke and would listen to the conversation going on between everyone.

He then looked toward Apollo and saw his eyes look upmtoward him. " And how has Apollo been this summer? Seems like he's been doing well." The lad spoke giving the boy more attention with his fingers running about his head gently and slowly.

"A bet sounds good. Nothing ever goes wrong with a friendly wager, might just beef up the competition to another level of fun too." Sartorious nodded in agreement to the idea of Natalie's. While she had since sat down next to him and Apollo moved onto his lap.

SidneySidney looked up at the deaf boy with a bit of confusion seeing the parchment handed to him. Taking it demurely Sidney read it and nodded slowly, feeling his face harden in silent shame. He hadn't. Despite his inabilities to hold company with those outside certain circles- something not taught to him by his parents- Sidney had been taught to be polite and respectful, he had been taught to have exquisite manners; being confronted with the fact that he had acted so rudely impolite made his proper upbringing cringe. The boy's accusation made Sidney feel chastised and he held out his hand for the quill before starting to write. After a few moments Sidney handed the items back to the boy, a cautious look of apology and wariness flitting in his green hazel eyes.

"Sidney Rosewarne." He had written, and as an after thought, "And this is Fig."

Sidney had never met a person disabled in any way, he had no clue on how to act. Looking at the first year in front of him Sidney tried his best to change his demeanor, trying to be a bit more open and warm again. He fought the urge to look to Evan for a bit of help or guidance; she seemed at least able to better communicate with the boy. Sidney placed his hands back around Fig and tried to recall the first years names.

SusannaSusanna watched the two siblings in amusement, a faint smile staying on her face. Watching Clay and Kliff she was reminded of how she and Sidney got along and wished he would deem it allowable to interact with her throughout the school year. She would greatly miss her brother, and she hoped against hope that he would work on things now that she was around. Watching Kliff with a compatriot expression Susanna adjusted herself slightly in her place on the seat, keeping eye contact with him as he sat. She hadn't failed to notice Clay's urging that spurred him to speak. She guessed it might be because she had stuttered too. The thought bothered her only slightly because in this instance she wasn't being mocked but had -hopefully- found a friend or two.

As the two told Susanna about their busy morning, Susanna laughed, a small, proper but genuine sound. "That s-sounds l-like a good reason." Susanna said, her cheeks heating slightly as she worked her words around her stumbling tongue. She was too excited and nervous and her wild emotions were making it even more difficult to manage her stutter. Looking down at Styx and Clay's cat Susanna gave a smile, glad that her beloved feline was enjoying himself.

When the trolley appeared Susanna looked sharply at Clay, then turned a bewildered glance at Kliff. When he expounded she shook her head slightly, not sure how to respond. She was a pure blood from a family of high standing so of course money was not limited in her life either. And she didn't like it when others used their money on her, although she also knew it was rude to spurn such things so she ordered a few things of chocolate frogs and cauldron cakes and looked graciously at Clay.

Turned back to look at Kliff Susanna giggled at his humorous advice. "Th-that is a bright s-side, I s-suppose." Susanna said, continuing to warm up to the two new companions she had gotten. Kliff's nervous laughter was amusing and intriguing. Clay seemed much more comfortable and outgoing, he seemed a little more like Susanna. Which was nice, she knew they'd get along well if they ended up in the same house or got to see each other often in classes. His sister wasn't that bad either of course, Susanna admired her take charge attitude.

"How many s-siblings do you have then?" Brushing a wayward strand of wavy hair out of her face as she let her curiosity continue the conversation. The train was moving now so they had a long while to go and might as well get a bit more acquainted.

Ben relaxed, realizing Sidney Rosewarne and his rat Fig wasn't so bad. He laughed as a gesture to break the ice. With a speech impediment, he mumbled something soft like "... Don't stress!"

He formed a hand in a C shape as if holding a cup, then pretended to drink. That was a sign that meant the obvious: drink. Then he formed a folded hand as if picking up a sandwich. Then pretended to eat. That was a sign that meant the obvious too: eat, or food.

Scribbling, he gripped the clipboard. His next note said: It's close to charades or improv. If you want, we can teach you how to sign. In return, you gotta teach us something back. Deal?

Ben squinted warm eyes again.

SidneySidney eyed Ebenezer warily, surprised by his laughter. As the boy began to go through a few easy hand motions that Sidney guessed were signs he watched with wide eyes, not wanting to miss anything. Nodding slowly so that he knew Sidney understood, the Slytherin took the clipboard and read it before chewing on his lip, his body going still as he took a moment to consider the offer. As he sat stock still Fig stretched and moved towards Ebenezer to sniff at the paper and the boy.

Sidney's curiosity and desire to learn something like what the first year was offering was pressing on him more than the idea of what might happen concerning a deal with this boy. Slowly he made eye contact with Ebenezer again and nodded slowly, raising his hand to shake. He cast a worried look towards the door of the compartment and set his jaw. His friends didn't need to know about this trip to Hogwarts or the Hufflepuff girl he had been talking to or the deaf first year he had just made a deal with. They couldn't give him grief, he couldn't give himself grief, if these things remained a secret of his own. Of course, he could already hear Susanna scolding him about his inability to do his own thing, to not care about some stupid reputation and the "friends" he had.

Siara Venus Kane

Siara remained quiet most of the time they conversed with each other. She occasionally glanced up when the blonde asked if the male, apparently called "Sidney", was okay. It perked her interests a bit. He didn't seem to be the type to be talkative, so why would being quiet be strange to her? Siara internally shrugged. Maybe he was like her, incredibly noisy when with comfortable people and silent around strangers; i.e relatives. Siara chuckled in her thoughts. While others were most comfortable around their family, she was most comfortable around her friends. She felt that she could be honest with them when she could not be with her family.

Little footstepd around her broke Siara's train of thought. She felt something moving. On her. Her eyes trailed to what was moving. A small rat had scampered around her, smelling her scent. She wondered whether he liked her vanilla scent. It took years to etch the smell into her skin. The ridiculously expensive soap she'd been using all her life finally paid off.

The rat sniffed her hands, as well as Ebenezer's, before going back to Sidney's side. She felt the small smile on her face fall. She was now back to nothing to do. Siara curiously watched Ebenezer and Sidney talk to each other, silently observing their personalities.

Evan surprised Siara by talking to her. A smile immdiately came up to her face. She let out a happy and relieved sigh. "There are a lot things I'm looking forward to, but Sorting has to be my favorite. I am hoping that I don't get unti Gryffindor." She let a small sip of her opinion on the sentence.

Siara saw the two boys conversing, so she slowly peeked through the notes.

Lucinda really loved that Johanna liked her hair spell but was even more appreciative that Johanna was discreet when referring to their previous conversation. Giving Johanna a very knowing smile as Johanna winked at her breaking eye contact soon after. Now looking back across the compartment at Ripley she noticed that she had made herself very comfortable. If Lucinda had sat like Ripley at home she would of been punished but instead it looked like this was normal for her, which made Lucinda a bit jealous thinking that she would love parents that laid back. It was nice hearing the girl say her name cool even making her blush a bit. It was weird that the only reason she knew what Ripley meant was because of her friend Tommy


Without time to ask Ripley anything Lucinda decided to sit back and listen while Ripley talked about Hogwarts. It was interesting question about what Hogwarts would be like as Lucinda made sure to learn the basics but tried to keep as much as possible unknown so it would be a nice surprise. But Lucinda couldn't let herself get lost in her thoughts as Ripley quickly asked which house they all thought they would be in and Johanna gave Ripley a very honest response. So Lucinda decided to also give an honest answer, "Well I hope I just don't end up in Slytherin. Gryffindor or Hufflepuff are the two I think I'm most likely to end up in since I don't think I'm smart enough for Ravenclaw. Also I have tried to keep what I know about Hogwarts to a minimum as I don't want to ruin the surprise, so I only know a little bit about it." Wanting to keep the conversation going Lucinda wanted to think what they could talk about next "so umm.. do you have anything hobbies? Personally I like to draw." It was basic but it was all she could think of as she tapped her note book while subconsciously her left hand started to twirl her hair.

Evan eyed the boys wearily, easing though as she noticed them getting along much better after a quick exchange of the paper that Ebenezer had brought. Sighing and leaning back into her seat, not realizing that she'd leant forward during their tenser conversation, she turned her attention back to the girl with a curious smile, one eyebrow cocked higher than the other.

"Oh? Not Gryffindor? I think that's the first time I've heard that," she replied with a light chuckle," most first years seem to have their hearts set on being one of the brave. Any idea of what house you want to be in the most?"

Joey looked out the window as the conversation continued. Her mind wandered off, thinking about what must be going through her ma's head right about now.

I tried to explain what this crazy world I was going into was like, and hell, I was greeted by a giant on my trip to Diagon Alley! She wasn't allowed to go with me... Because she's a... moogle, or something. Non-magic person. Some kind of secrecy law, said the giant man as he guided me into the wand shop, plopping a pile of copper, silver and gold coins into my hands. Claimed some corporation called "The Ministry of Magic" provided the funds for me since I was moogle-born. It was highly unlikely that I-

"Hey, Lucinda, by the way," She turned away from staring blankly out the window to look back at Lucinda, her eyes flashing curiously. "What the hell is a Knut? Or a Sickle? Or a Galleon for that matter?" She cupped her hands in front of her and pantomimed having something heavy dropped into them, "I was met by this giant man and given a pile of wizard money he described as Knuts, Sickles and Galleons. Claimed some sort of ministry had provided the funds for my textbooks and things because I'm mmmmooooogleborn and 'probably don' 'ave a Knut to mah name'?" She turned her head to look at Ripley as well as Lucinda, "How many Knuts are in an English pound?"

"I'm alright here ma'am, but thanks," she responded kindly to the lady whom had offered them candy from the trolley. Her parents may have been able to give her a good amount of wizarding money to use and spend however she wished, but, she still felt like she could spare them the sickle or galleon or whatever it was for candy for at least the train ride.

"What kind of flavors do you mean? All jelly beans are amazing!" she questioned curiously, as Alice had never heard of Berty Botts Every Flavor Beans.

{I'm so so so so so soooooo sorry my response is so late, I have no excuse ;-;}

coded by wheat​

Tyrus took a moment to look over toward Alice with a small surprise in response to her never hearing of Berty bots every flavor beans. He did momentarily forget she could be new to some wizarding world candies and drinks. Though he could agree that jelly beans were good but he couldn't say after having heard about and tried Berty bots before that all flavors were amazing.

Looking toward her with a small smile and returning from his momentary slight shock, he gave a nod and held the box before him, while sitting quietly back down. "I think you'll change your mind after these ones. Some anyway. " Tyrus began to say with a chuckle. Taking one out and popping it inside his mouth, luckily it was bacon flavor and not one of the others he didn't wish to experience.

He gave a pause to enjoy his jelly bean before continuing in reply to Alice's question. "Well.... lets see, you've got one where it's this unlicious ear wax flavor, another one that might be vomit. Oh! And one that's of farm dirt and another of bogeys." Tyrus went on with a smile and shook his head at the thought of those flavors.

Ripley Holton

Interaction: Lucinda Inactive User 002 | Johanna explosiveKitten

Ripley glanced at her feet, tapping them on the wall of the compartment a little as the redhead and Lucinda spoke briefly. She glanced back as she was addressed again. “Really?” Ripley frowned as she imagined a world without magic, or, more accurately, not knowing about it. That sounded worse. Then she realised that the other girl must be of muggle birth. Her face brightened up, looking at Johanna with an intense gaze. “Are you mug-” she stopped, as if cut off by someone. Her eyes rolled up to stare at the ceiling for a moment, her facial expression difficult to read, her question unfinished.

She was brought out of this state by Lucinda. “I’m sure you're smart enough for Ravenclaw!” Ripley said, a lopsided smile on her face. “I’ve wanted to be in Gryffindor since I learned about the houses. Half my family have been in it, the others were in Hufflepuff. But, I mean, its got a lion as its animal! How cool is that?” she giggled, the idea still seemingly captivating her mind as she started to stare off into nothing again. “You draw? Really?” her tone had shifted, great interest now audible “I doodle, but I don’t think that counts.” she paused, pondering the deep philosophical question of whether scribbles on paper counted as drawing. Then shrugged. The scottish accent draw her head to look towards the redhead again.

“Pounds? Ohhh! That’s muggle money right? My grandfather told me about that.” Ripley let her feet dance about on the side of the compartment some more, giggling at the way the other girl spoke. She thought it was fantastic. “I don’t know how much it’s worth, but a knut is like…” she paused. How did you describe the value of currency without anything to balance it off. “Errr. Well it goes, Knut, Sickle, Gallon. Knuts are the bronze ones, Sickles are silver and the Gallons are gold. Hang on..” Ripley drove a hand into a pocket searching. “Here!” she said happily, producing a silver coin. “Sickle, see?” Ripley looked at the redhead with her odd, but honest smile. “Knuts aren’t very much, but you can get some stuff with a few sickles.”

Lucinda was very flattered when Ripley said she was sure that Lucinda was smart enough for Ravenclaw but she was probably just being nice. Also it was very informative when Ripley said that her family had been in both Gryffindor and Hufflepuff clearly having some magical background. Excited was probably the right way to describe how Lucinda felt hearing the interest in Ripley voice when it came to Lucinda's drawing. Feeling happy as Ripley doodles as it reminded Lucinda of what her work used to be like before she learned how to draw properly. Giving Ripley a reassuring nod as if to say she thinks doodles counted as drawing.


Returning back to Johanna hearing that she was curious about something else Lucinda made sure to listen carefully. Unfortunately she was unable to answer her finding the way she said muggle-born just so cute and hilarious. Relieved when Ripley jumped in to answer Johanna's question, well attempt to answer it as best she could. As this was happening Lucinda was busy stifling her laugh and hiding behind her sketch book trying to make it seem like she was thinking. Finally getting her giggles under control Lucinda peaked out from behind her sketch book having found Ripley's explanation less than satisfactory, "Honestly it's not that hard to learn that a Galleon is 17 sickles and a sickle is worth 29 Knuts. With one galleon being about five pounds." Initially pleased with herself for answering the question Lucinda became nervous realising she shouldn't know what muggle money was worth since she should have never needed to exchange her money. If they asked how she knew it would be quiet awkward as she could either tell them her secret putting her faith in someone else or lie through her teeth. Deciding to move on quickly from the point, ''so uhm.. Johanna do you have anymore questions. Oh.. umm by the Ripley you can ask me something if can think of anything that is."

Running across the green pastures of the field, loud and cheerful laughter could be heard. The sound of the wind whistled past her small frame as her hair blew in her face, but it didn't matter to her, she was free, running as quickly as she could all around the wide, open area. Bagheera, a grey spotted half serval and half kneazle, on the other hand, lazily slept on top of Colt, the Abraxan that Elodie had grew up with. There was a whole herd of Abraxans in the field of where the Scamander-Cross family lived, they, afterall, bred them. Nevertheless, the young brunette swiftly ran around the meadow, loving the feeling as she felt as if she was flying. Although the female was short in stature, she held a lot of energy and vibrancy in her small silhouette.

"Elodie!" A stressed-voice called from the distance as a woman stood in the back doorway, shaking her head at her child's rambunctious nature of dirtying her dresses or rather any article of clothing she had on that day.

Hearing her mother's voice, Elodie stopped in her tracks quickly, only to fall and trip over her shoes as she face planted into the dirt near where Colt was grazing in the grass and Bagheera had been resting. A loud "oomph" was heard as Elodie plopped her face up and got up from where she fell. A small laugh escaped her lips as she tried to brush off the dirt on her clothes, but to no avail. Seeing Elodie's dilemma, Colt neighed, giving a slight rasberry respond as Bagheera lazily looked over and mewed. With a small grin, Elodie walked over and gently petted both Colt and Bagheera, whispering, "Maman's going to be upset with me, isn't she?" At those words, Elodie sighed before picked up her shoes as she always loved walking bare-foot, trusting nature to take its course and to protect her, perhaps. With another neigh, Colt nudged and pushed her back in the direction of her house. With one last look, Elodie hugged Colt's face, sighing softly, "I'm going to miss you, Colt. Take care of Papa and Maman for me okay?" Closing his eyes as he took in Elodie's embrace, he gave a softer neigh in response, saddened to see her go off.

After a few more moments, Elodie had let go of Colt before taking Bagheera in her arms, waving a sad goodbye. "See you soon, Colt!" At that, her little feet made it's way towards home, hastily. Once she approached her mother who seemed well-intent on giving her a scolding as well as a disappointed look at what a mess she looked, her Maman sighed, shaking her head, "Ma chérie, you know how I feel about you running without shoes on. And, look at you! You're a mess! Come inside, we need to clean you up before we take you to the train." As she felt her mother's tone of disappointment, Elodie swayed her body to the side, biting her lips as she peeked up from her eyelids, "Mais . Maman. . Je suis désolé. . It was just. . . the sun was shining. . and and. . Colt was running through the meadow and it looked like so much fun! I just. . wanted to go out and be with nature at home before leaving off to school.. . " Elodie's tone drifted slowly and softly away as she finished her explanation, a little saddened that her mother was scolding her, yet again. Feeling Elodie's change in emotions, Bagheera curled up next to her before purring against her cheeks.

With a sigh, her mother knelt next to her, gently touching her face as she brought Elodie into a hug, "Oh, mon poupée, I understand. But, you need to remember to listen to your professors as well. If you go off on your own to find the little daring adventures you love, you may get an even bigger punishment and do you want to get expelled from school?" At hearing those words, Elodie's eyes widened in surprise before shaking her head quickly, "Non! I don't. I have been waiting for years for my letter!" Smiling, her mother nodded, signaling her to come inside, "Remember that, okay?" Soon, Elodie took her mother's hand with her free hand as Bagheera followed inside, jumping up on her father's lap, mewing before a loud chuckle echoed inside the house of the Scamanders.


Late was an understatement as Elodie just recently got onto the train as it was preparing for take off. Before fully getting inside, she had waved goodbye to her mother and father, smiling widely before their silhouette slowly became a blur. Soon enough, she made her way inside, practically skipping as she held Bagheera in her arms. As she looked around for a place to sit, her eyes zoomed in on a trolley cart filled with so many different kind of snacks! Squealing slightly, Elodie quickly made her way over as her eyes widened in delight as she looked at the Trolley lady. "Bonjour, madam!" She said cheerfully as her french accent fell through. "Everything here looks so delightful!" Elodie commented as Bagheera mewed before he took notice of another cat in the compartment the trolley lady had stopped at. Looking over to see what Bagheera was mewing at, Elodie noticed three people inside. With a bubbly yet shy smile, Elodie waved, "Hello there! Is that seat taken? It's been a while since Bagheera had interactions with another cat." At that, Elodie lifted Bagheera so the others could get a better look at him as he perked his ears in response. Soon, Elodie looked back at the trolley lady, smiling before her attention went back towards the others, "I'm Elodie! And I hope I wasn't intruding!" She finished, cheerily.

  Kliff continued laughing alongside Susanna as they watched Clay continue talking to the trolley lady. Kliff didn't realize how fun it was to talk to other people. Sure, he had his family, but growing up, Kliff was mostly shunned and bullied by other kids so he didn't really expect to meet someone so nice on the first try. He really hoped that she along with everyone else at Hogwarts were different than the people he knew in the past.
  
  "How many s-siblings do you have then?"
  
  Kliff smiled, "Including my sister here, I have five sisters and f-five brothers. Some of us were actually adopted th-though. Although, it causes things to get a bit hectic at times, having so many people to support me growing up has been a lifesaver."
  
  Kliff frowned a little as he continued, "My childhood was mostly sp-spent in solitude from other kids my age d-due to a multitude of reasons. I was labeled as a "bad omen" by the time I was 8."
  
  Kliff then suddenly became happier, "But they helped me through it!"
  
  Kliff looked at Susanna, revealing his dark green left eye and light green right eye, and smiled, "What about you? D-Do you have any sibl-blings?"
  
  Meanwhile, as Kliff and Susanna talked, Clay was busy buying stuff from the trolley. She was placing this in their compartment when she heard someone say, "Bonjour, madam! Everything here looks so delightful!"
  
  Clay looked up from what she was doing to see a browned haired girl standing outside the compartment, speaking to the trolley lady. Clay grinned, "I know right! I couldn't help myself and bought a little bit of everything."
  
  When the girl waved, Clay waved back, "Hello there! Is that seat taken? It's been a while since Bagheera had interactions with another cat."
  
  Clay grinned even wider when the girl held up her cat. Clay scooted over so the newcomer could sit down, "Nope! Why don't you join us. Max also loves making friends, as you can tell!"
  
  Clay gestured towards her cat, who was still busy interacting with Styx.
  
  "I'm Elodie! And I hope I wasn't intruding!"
  
  Clay chuckled before shaking her head, "Right across from me is Susanna, who I just met a few minutes ago, and next to her is my twin brother, Kliff. My name is Clay and you're perfectly fine! I was actually just finishing up!"
  
  She then pointed out all of the food she ordered, "You're welcome to help yourself to everything I ordered, I'm also paying for everyone in this compartment if you'd like to order your own."
  
  She picked up one of the sweets she ordered, "They're really good so it's perfectly understandable!"

SusannaSusanna listened to Kliff politely, smiling at him and enjoying his free speech. She had thought his sister was more talkative but Kliff seemed to like talking too. This made Susanna wonder about the two siblings. She nodded at his answer about her family and gave him a small grin. That sounded hectic, no wonder they had been a little late. At his mention of being a bad omen Susanna perked up, giving him a quizzical look. She wondered if he would expound on that, and when he didn't she thought it best not to press the subject. After all, they had just met, it wasn't exactly polite.

"Only two of us. M-my older brother is a fourth year. He's a S-Slytherin. I'm not a-sure what House I'll be s-sorted into th-though." Susanna spoke baldly, not caring to cover up her family's status or houses or anything like that. It didn't matter to her and neither of those things at all affected her personality or actions towards others. Quite the opposite of her brother.

At the introduction of a fourth person Susanna looked up, smiling in greeting as the girl joined them, hefting a cat with her. Giving a small wave as Clay gave her name Susanna watched the girl, Elodie, take a seat with them. "That's S-Styx." Susanna offered, stroking the Nebulung's soft fur as the large tom cat rubbed against her shins, excited by the entrance of more people. Susanna reassured the cat though, scratching under his chin and letting him know they weren't a problem.

Looking back at Kliff Susanna asked a question. Though she was looking mainly at Kliff, fascinated by the colors of his eyes, which she hadn't missed when they had been conversing, Susanna was asking everyone else present too, casting small glances at Clay and Elodie. As she looked at everyone in the compartment Susanna was happy with the company. She hoped she would see more of them once they arrived at Hogwarts, it would be nice too if they ended up in the same houses! But it was nice enough just knowing that she knew a few people, even if she never saw or talked with her again after this train ride.

"Do you have any ideas on w-which house you'll be s-sorted into?" Susanna picked at the packaging around a chocolate frog, slowly opening it as she waited to listen to he others. She was faintly amused by Clay, especially with her enormous collection of sweets from the trolley. She knew she would get alone pretty well with the redhead, she seemed nice but also fairly active and energetic; Kliff seemed more like Susanna personality wise but she enjoyed people like Clay. Elodie, the new comer, seemed quite nice too. Susanna was looking forward to getting to know these other kids. She also really loved the name Elodie, it was a very pretty name. She told herself she would have to compliment the girl sooner than later.

Elodie smiled widely when the red-haired girl had responded back to her with much enthusiasm when she asked about the sweets on the tray. "It isn't bad to want a little bit of everything! Maman says that sharing is caring, but also that trying new things is the first step into tasting the world!" She exclaimed to her, grinning excitedly at the prospect of making a friend in her. Gasping softly as she had said "yes" to letting her to take the empty seat in the compartment, Elodie slowly made her way inside, slightly nodding her head in greeting to the other red-headed male and the black-haired female that were sitting inside as well. When the black-haired female had offered her the empty seat as well, Elodie's face brightened even more from being accepted inside and soon she greeted Styx. "Hi, Styx!"

As Elodie sat next to the red-haired female, Elodie giddily kicked her legs as it dangled on the chair. Bagheera had been sniffing around the compartment, looking at Max and Styx , the other two felines that were in the compartment as well. Bagheera purred in greeting before jumping up on Elodie's lap, laying across as he closed his eyes, nodding off to sleep. Giggling softly, Elodie nodded, "It is nice to officially meet you! Susanna? That is a beautiful name! Clay and Kliff? I love the names as well! They're very unique! I was really nervous. . coming onboard but also very excited because I wanted to meet other people. . like myself. And well . . here I am! I am having a wonderful experience so far that I just can't contain myself!" Feeling so welcomed into the group, Elodie couldn't sit still, almost as if she was on a candy rush, even if she didn't have any prior to the trip. Elodie squealed in delight, even more so when Clay had still offered to buy her some sweets. Biting her lips, she had asked the trolley lady for a chocolate frog and thanked Clay. "Thank you so much! Maman told me that when you want to be friends with others, sharing sweets and snacks does wonders! You are like a fairy friend-mother, Clay!" Elodie grinned, always loving the idea of supernaturals aside from wizards and mythical creatures as well as non-magical folk's fairy tales.

However, when Susanna asked the question of which houses they would be sorted into, Elodie tapped her chin, "Well . . Maman isn't an alumnae from Hogwarts. She went to school in France at Beauxbatons! As for Papa, he was an alumni at Hogwarts and was sorted into as a Hufflepuff! Maman and Papa said to follow my heart and I feel like. . I would be a Gryffindor! And Maman believes so too . . especially since I absolutely love exploring and going on adventures. Hearing stories about them in books always made me want to go on my own someday! What about yourselves?" Elodie asked curiously, fully intent on listening to their stories and wondering where they wanted to get sorted into. She hoped they would be in the same house as her as she was already well-acquainted and liked them. But, even if they wanted a different house, Elodie believed they could still be friends regardless! Elodie, afterall, felt as if she made a long-lasting connection with Clay, Susanna, and Kliff.

[ichthys]

SusannaSmiling widely at the newest members' excited babbling Susanna watched her with a serene, insightful expression. This expression being the one most often on her pretty features. She smiled as Elodie talked on and on about the various things, not seeming her own input necessary but enjoying listening to the others more than speaking. She tilted her head with a slight sense of bashfulness as Elodie complimented her and she smiled again, feeling her nose wrinkle slightly with the genuine action, giving the girl the same compliment in turn, utter sincerity in her voice as well as the prim proper-ness that she seemed to have been born with, and was most certainly raised up in.

When Elodie answered Susanna's communal question Susanna smiled at her again, a small nod moving her head up and down as she contemplated her. Gryffindor most certainly seemed to suit the energetic girl that sat there, all energy and excitement. It seemed as though she would talk -at least for a few glancing seconds- on every subject under the sun before they arrived at Hogwarts. And the girl seemed to be genuinely friendly, perhaps a little overly so but that was just Susanna's own personality she supposed. She was friendly and open but not so much so. She and her brother were most definitely more introverted than extroverted, though both were good actors when it was demanded.

Susanna continued her musings as Elodie replayed the question, but she remained quiet, looking to the twins to see if they would speak up first. Susanna was not only doing this because it was firstly, her personality and secondly, polite in a way, but largely because she still hadn't the faintest idea where she would end up. She had been told by Sidney, her brother almost bitter, that she hadn't the stuff to be Slytherin. Not that she felt all that disappointed with that. Susanna knew she wasn't overly ambitious and power hungry, she fell far from either sides of the scale that many used to weigh the character of Slytherins. But she didn't feel she fit in with the brave and adventurous Gryffindors either, having neither the spirit or head for that kind of character either. So of course she had to contemplate the prospect of being Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff. She admired the idea of Ravenclaw more she decided, loving the outreach to the mind and inner self that the house offered. Potential glistened in Susanna and she felt that more than any amount of Slytherin cunning and ambition, Ravenclaw wit and wisdom would help her fulfill herself. As she had been sitting and thinking she had begun to hum quite softly, an almost unconscious idiosyncratic behavior that occurred often. She had also just begun to bite down on her bottom lip, just faintly, this action barely noticeable. Her humming was also very soft and what with the noise of the train and the conversation within the compartment Susanna wouldn't have been able to tell if it was detectable or not, if she were aware that she had begun to do so. Which, normally, for the first few moments or until it is brought to her attention she is not.

Patrick and Poppy McMills

Poppy and Patick both seemed taken aback by Tyrus' offer to share his candy. It wasn't that they weren't used to kindness, as they had been born into a very pleasant and thoughtful family. Perhaps they subconsciously expected (and prepared for) the worst, or maybe their worries of being treated as lesser in an unfamiliar world were starting to show through. Regardless, it took them a moment to recover. "If you really don't mind..." Poppy said hesitantly, "I am quite curious..." She inspected the packaging as she helped herself to a small amount. She seemed to gather herself and lifted her head abruptly before placing a jelly bean into her mouth. "Oh, thank you!"

Patrick watched his sister, then followed suite. He nodded his thanks, residually embarrassed about not having bought anything of their own to share. He took several of the beans and watched the others eat theirs curiously. He was quite impressed by their claim of "every flavor" and even more surprised by the kinds Tyrus was listing off. Patrick was also skeptical--every flavor seemed like a stretch. He inspected a single bean, as if the appearance might give him some indication of the flavor contained within it. The only way to know was to try it. Upon popping the bean into his mouth, he soon discovered the accuracy of their claim. "Ugh!" He winced visibly, face contorted in disgust. This was unlike any candy he had ever had before, and he couldn't help but laugh aloud. "I don't even want to know what flavor that one was."
