Hogwarts:A New Era(IC/OPEN)

[Kuhlfros]

Cyrus turned around and said "Aw Come On, One sweet won't do you much harm, especially if you lose all the sugar and fat just walking the halls of the school! Oh Well, I will take one chocolate frog please." The lady gave him the frog, where he immediatley opened it and allowed it to leap in the air...an din one quick strong swipe he caught the frog and put the whole frog in his mouth, allowing it to hop in his mouth with no avail for the frog to escape,Cyrus chewed the chocolate he looked at his Chocolate Frog Card, It was Catriona McCormack which made Cyrus start laughing in irony as he read the card, Catriona McCormack was the Captain and Chaser of the Pride of Portree in the 1960s. She led the team to two League Cups and played for the Scottish National Quidditch team thirty-six times "That's my Great Grand mam...."

Andrew heard the trolley coming past, so he headed out of the compartment to get some sweets. When he first went to Diagon Alley, he had to get his allowance converted into Galleon, Sickles and Knuts, because apparently, wizards did not use pounds. Looking at all the sweets, he decided to get a few things. A box of beans that apparently had every flavour, chocolate frogs and a few other things. He went back into his compartment and sat down, and opened up the box of beans

[Tomia]

Jacob, Pandora, and Lucy continued to chat and catch up in their compartment as they waited for the train to arrive. "I can't wait for quidditch to start. George is Gryffinfor captain again this year." Jacob said with a smile. Lucy blushed at the mention of George. She had had a crush on the sixth year boy since she met him. She never said anything to him though of course. She was too shy, and keep he probably didn't like her back. Jacob was oblivious to this, but Pandora smiled knowingly. She was well aware of he best friend's crush.

Arthur
After a few minutes of small talk with Mira, Arthur excused himself to find the snack trolley. Arthur had always loved the Hogwart's Express. Ever since his first year it had served as a great place to meet new people, cute girls, and to have some general fun. He soon found the Honeydukes Express and purchased an apple before going off to find a new seat. A few cabs behind the trolley he found a small compartment with two girls sitting in it (that of Eva and Agatha), one looking very cross. He decided to take a seat with the two, taking a large bite out of the apple as he did so.

[Stormhound]

Julia walked through the passageway of the Hogwarts Express, brushing crumbs off of the front of her black robe with red trimmings, and looking around to make sure nobody noticed. Well, I'm not home anymore, she reminded herself, a wave of relief and bliss flowing over her with the thought.

The mere sight of crumbs on her clothing would have caused a fierce tongue lashing back home, where her maternal family insisted she be as prim, proper, and old-fashioned as someone in the 20th century. She did remind herself how much they did for her. Took her in, gave her a room, an identity, without them, she would have never gotten Circe or Sidhe. Still, a small part of her wished that they would be a little less overbearing.

"Hello," she said, smiling as she entered a compartment. "May I sit here?"

[Terintania]

Completely unaware of what was going on in James' head, Jet and Moony simply waited for him to wake up, knowing it shouldn't take long unless he had seriously hurt himself, which seemed unlikely. When James woke up, Jet sat back. "Your teeth are fine. Your nose, on the other hand, might need a bit of help after you get sorted. I'm sure you'll be able to move and feel again shortly. Probably just your body recovering from your faceplant a bit."

"Thank God, my looks should be fine." He chuckled and reached up popping his nose back into place, it was really painful. "I can't wait to be sorted, you and i just might be in the same house." He then saw Jet was a Slytherin. "That possibility is looking fifty fifty." James groaned as Astrid laid her head on his chest. "Can't breath..." He laughed in relief as she got up. "Sorry, James, I just got worried. You walked in, said hi, looked from Moony, to me and then passed out. I thought I caused it!" Astrid stopped fawning over him as he held a hand out to Jet. "Mind dragging a fallen brother to his feet? I don't plan on biting the dust yet."

"I think maybe you're a little too concerned with your looks," Jet said, raising an eyebrow slightly. "I don't think you want to be put in Slytherin. It's usually seen as the bad house, to anyone who's not Slytherin, anyway." He resisted the urge to chuckle at what Astrid did and said, then heaved James to his feet. "You wouldn't 'bite the dust' from just laying there, you know. You just might get bored," He said jokingly, picking up his robes. "I better go get changed. Try not to faint again."

"I don't know... that is gonna be hard." James sat by Moony. "Mind if I sit here? Just wanted to switch up seats, that one over there has poor lumbar support." James bit back a grin, he really enjoyed being by Moony, he personality was just so bright. "Bonzai!" Astrid jumped and landed in James' lap. "Hi there, I got bored, plus I apparently have to keep you awake now or else your nose will really be messed up." James laughed sarcastically, "Yeah, because you are not one of the causes for it in the first place. I mean, uh-" Astrid began to tear up, "I caused that?"

"No, I mean, uh... you know I got cake earlier." He handed her a piece of carrot cake, which she ate very happily, James proceeded to nervously smile at Moony as if he had just defused an atom bomb.

"You should change soon, too," Jet said, heading off to change in to his robes.

"Go ahead," Moony said, picking up a book and beginning to read it. She raised an eyebrow when Astrid jumped on Jame's lap,"Ever heard of personal space?" She asked, not even looking up from her book. She didn't seem to be paying all that much attention to what was going on around her, until the mention of cake. At which time, she looked over at him with an intent interest.

"You want some too?" He held out the fork, on the end of which was a piece of cake. "I will change after a bit, I do not like my robes... and chances are I will get expelled for not having the proper ones." James blushed a bit, "I kinda just took my dad's, problem is he evidently bleached the darn things at some point, probably drunk at the time, so instead of black and a deep red it is pure white and a very bright red." He was embarrassed at realizing that he was offering to feed Moony, that was usually only done by two people dating.

He was embarrassed at realizing that he was offering to feed Moony, that was usually only done by two people dating.

Moony, being 11, didn't see anything weird about taking the candy offered to her, and took the piece of cake, eating it pretty quickly. "I don't think you'll be expelled. Ronald Weasly wore hand-me-down robes, in his first year at least. When you get sorted, they'll probably give you new robes. It's normal, after all. I mean, before you're sorted, you're not exactly going to have any colors on your robe, are you? See, mine are all black, but once I'm sorted, I'll get robes with whatever color collar or whatever."

[Toronina]

Andrew grabbed a brown bean from the box, and popped it in his mouth. It was a nice milk chocolate, he then grabbed a green one, expecting mint or lime, only to get snot flavored, which made him throw up

"Ravenclaw probably, you seem real smart." Astrid looked up at him, "What house would I be?" James looked at Astrid and gave a sly grin, almost a wicked grin, "Hufflepuff." She cocked her head to the side, "Hufflepuff?" James spoke once more, "Yes, because you are very boisterous and rather... odd at times." Glaring she looked him in the eye, "Odd? I am a dragonfly among moths." Shunned him with her hand. "Oh I am teasing, don't block me out." Lowering her hand Astrid spoke to him with a voice oh to familiar. "Brother, you are such a meanie, I hate you." The irritated look on her face, the tone of her voice, the green of those eyes...

"Brother, you are such a meanie, I hate you." A young girl very much like Astrid, James had a frog in his hand. "Sorry, I just thought he was a cute little guy." James released the frog and yet the girl still seemed angry. "Brother, why did we come out here?" James appeared to barely be seven years of age, the girl, his sister, appeared five. "Oh nothing." That was a lie, he knew that their mother and father were fighting, he knew something was going to end tonight. "Sammy might be here soon, possibly." A wolf howled behind him, this startling noise brought him back to reality hard, his heart raced with a start.

[Corrian]

Holly
Holly chuckled at what Cyrus said, and shook her head lightly. "Okay, I'll admit something else. I'm not much of a sweets fan, me trying to avoid them or not. I know I'm probably the only person in the world but I've never liked the taste of sugary sweets, like chocolate, hard candies, or stuff like that. I know, I know, I break the stereotype that all girls like chocolate" She chuckled lightly. "So if you want to win your way into a girls heart with chocolate, good luck trying that on me" She laughed at her own silly joke. She laughed even more when he opened the chocolate frog bag and it immediately jumped into the air to try and escape him, but she let him struggle with it since it was his chocolate frog after all, and struggling with it was part of the fun of trying to eat one of those. If you were the type that liked sweets, that is.

Agatha
Agatha looked up at Arthur when he came into the compartment, and sat down without a single word just like she had done herself. She smiled to herself for some reason, glad to see she wasn't the only one who felt that being all formal and polite, asking if you could sit in a compartment that was going to fill up anyway, wasn't really necessary. it seemed like she wasn't sure if she wanted to say anything to him or not, though, because she wasn't one that was terribly into speaking, either, apparently.

"Hello" Agatha said with not a lot of oomph in her words, like she wasn't that big of a social person so she didn't really feel all that into talking, and just wanted somewhere to sit for the train ride in silence. That was all she said to him, as well. Just a dull "Hello", before she went back to staring out of the window, her black painted fingernails in her mouth, which it looked like she was absentmindedly biting.

Adair and Mist
"I love sweets!" Adair said cheerfully. "There's a trolley full of sweets that comes through here?! I'm so glad that I have some money to buy some sweets then! I can't possibly miss trying a bunch of sweets I've never had before, can I?" She said, looking extremely interested in these sweets trolley that Mist was telling her about. She was a first year like herself, but Mist had told her that she was magic born, so her parents had told her all about this sweets trolley ahead of time. And a lot about Hogwarts in general. So this girl automatically knew more about this school than she would have any way of knowing yet. Like what all the houses were, what the different houses meant, and so on. Nothing that she had actually told Adair, but she could do so easily enough if she wanted to.

"I'm not sure you need any sweets, Adair" Mist smiled at Adair, saying that because this girl next to her was extremely hyper. "Only joking. That is a misconception that eating sweets automatically will make you more hyper and bounce off the walls. Never have I got super hyper and energetic off of eating too many cookies or hard candies" She said, Mist being the type that preferred to be logical and scientific, despite being 11 years old and also being a Witch, which pretty much went against all scientific ideas of how the world worked.

"Hey, we could buy one of those boxes of Bertie Bott's Every Flavored Jellybeans and share them" Mist suggested with a smile. "Be prepared though, because they are seriously every flavored. Not a joke for advertising. I've had some pretty strange ones at my parents home" She said.

"Sounds good to me!" Adair said cheerfully, right as Julia had walked into their compartment and asked if she could sit there. "Of course! Go ahead!" She said cheerfully, Mist next to her standing up to go and sit by the window on the other side of the compartment like Adair had already been doing, so she could watch the countryside go by in a bit. "Fine by me" Was what Mist said to Julia when she got into her seat.

"What's your name?" Was the first thing that Adair asked the newcomer, her question being asked rather quickly. "My names Adair Ferland! And this is Mist! She never told me her last name" She said quickly, gesturing towards Mist who was now across from her, who smiled in response back at Julia.

[Newter]

As Albert strolled down the train looking for spare compartment, he noticed a woman pushing a trolley coming a towards him.
"Hello anything from the trolley?" she asked. As Albert inspected the bizarre assortments of sweets on the trolley the woman rambled on "What year are you then, haven’t seen you on train before?"
"First year." Albert said in his tightest voice.
"Oh umm your just quite tall so i assumed you would be..." Albert stared daggers at the woman. "Nothing from the trolley then i'll be off." As the woman hurried off Albert chucked to himself, he wasn't at all self conscious of his height but he had enjoyed making the woman squirm. Albert then noticed several students in there compartments staring at him, looking around he spotted that stupid bird was changing colour, it was flicking between green to red showing off. Feeling extremely embarrassed Albert continued his hunt for some seating.

[United States of Cascadia]

Bran
Bran sat with his face nearly plastered against the window of the cab, idly listening to the conversation going on around him.

Arthur
Arthur smirked to himself when the girl smiled, even if only shorty. Her 'hello' seemed almost forced, but Arthur didn't care, not like he was forcing her to chat either. He kicked his legs up onto the other seat before speaking. "Hey." He took another chunk out of his apple before speaking again. "I'm Arthur, you?" Arthur kept his words to a minimum, trying to start a conversation, but not wanting to disturb her much if she didn't wish to talk. He continued munching on his apple as he sat back thinking of witty responses to anything she might say, trying to come up with ways to build up a conversation.

[Stormhound]

Julia took a seat in the compartment, happy to have found a room. The other three she had gone by had been heavily crowded. "My name is Julia Flavia O'Malley," she replied, unconsciously playing with a strand of her golden blonde hair, and smiling nervously. "I'm a third-year, you can probably tell what house I'm in."

Personally, she would have preferred to have been sorted into Slytherin or Ravenclaw. Her father's side were composed mainly of diligent Ravenclaws, while her mother's side was made up of cunning and haughty Slytherin. Julia remembered when her eldest aunt, the matron of the family, had found out. She hadn't thought to ask the Sorting Hat at the time, so she supposed the damage had been done.

Still, it could have been worse. Gryffindor was prized for bravery and self-sacrifice, even if they were dullards sometimes. It was just painful, considering she had cousins from both sides of the family in those two houses, while she had to sit alone at the Gryffindor table.

[Tumbra]

After finding out that it wasn't even eleven yet, he walked back to his compartment. Or what he thought was his compartment.
To his utter horror, the compartment he had accidentally stumbled into had loads of people in it.
"H..hi"

[Tomia]

After finding out that it wasn't even eleven yet, he walked back to his compartment. Or what he thought was his compartment.

"H..hi"

Jacob saw a young boy walk into their compartment. He looked nervous and scared. "Hi" Jacob said to him kindly. "What's your name mate?" He asked him, trying to make him less nervous. He remembered when he was a first year, he was nervous too.

[Corrian]

Agatha
"Agatha. My names Agatha" Agatha said, stopping her chewing of her nails, which she seemed to only notice that she was doing after she had stopped chewing her nails. She realized how stupid of an idea that was, too, since she had fingernail polish on and that was very much likely NOT a good thing for you to be chewing on. When you put fingernail polish on, it practically smelled like you were applying poison onto your own fingers, after all. Then you put that into your mouth? Probably not a good idea.

She didn't appear to be against talking if a topic came up for her to respond to, but she didn't go out of her way on her end to start the conversation, one reason being that she didn't exactly have anything much to talk about. But if Arthur found some way to continue the conversation, she would likely speak to him. Because either way, she felt bored. The train ride had never been that enjoyable to her. Sure, the scenery was nice and all. But she didn't really care that much. And since she never really made friends with people, or even chatted that often beyond a bit of idle chit chat with strangers, it quickly made her train journeys boring. Especially since she apparently never brought anything to entertain herself with, like, say, a book.

Agatha had glanced back out the window for a moment, but then found herself glancing back in Arthur's direction. Her eyes fell upon him for a moment before she went back to looking out the window, this time avoiding the instinctive urge to chew on her fingernails absentmindedly. In her head, she was thinking that something about Arthur she found to be attractive, but there was no way in hell she was going to even think about vocalizing that to anyone, especially Arthur of all people. She would keep that to herself, like she did quite regularly when it came to certain topics, but not so much with others.

She kept her gaze faced out the window, but it looked like she was actually paying attention to Arthur at the same time, listening to him if he decided to speak to her some more. But at the same time, it acted like she was trying not to look at him, and in her head, she really hoped she wasn't coming off as extremely obvious that she apparently had a bit of a crush on this guy from his appearance.

Apparently they just forgot Eva was there because she was quiet or something.

Adair and Mist
"That's a cool name!" Adair said cheerfully. "And I can't! I don't know what the different house colors even look like! Disadvantages of being muggle born, as Mist here told me we get referred to as! I guess I will learn the differences soon enough!" She exclaimed, and she really gave off the impression that she was about to burst and bounce around the entire compartment, based off of her hyper jitteriness.

"She is from House Gryffindor" Mist chimed in to Adair. "Red is Gryffindor, yellow is Hufflepuff, blue is Ravenclaw, and green is Slytherin" She explained, even though that didn't explain to the Muggle Born girl what was the actual differences between the houses. Figuring that it would probably be nice for her to know so she could speculate what house that she would end up in, she went to explaining the different houses.

"Gryffindor's are typically considered to be people who fall under the following categories of bravery, nerve, chivalry, courage, daring, and strong of will. Their house Sigil is a lion. Not a Griffin as the name may suggest.

Ravenclaw's typically fall under the categories of intelligence, wit, wisdom, creativity, originality, individuality, and acceptance. The house Sigil is an eagle, despite what the name would obviously give you the idea that it would be.

Hufflepuff's typically fall under the categories of dedication, hard work, fair play, patience, kindness, tolerance, and unafraid of toil. Their house Sigil is a badger, which seems a bit strange to me after everything I just mentioned. The name would probably suggest something more along the lines of smoking weed" Mist laughed lightly at her own joke she probably shouldn't be making at the age of 11, which Adair laughed in response to, before she moved on to the next description.

"Slytherin's typically fall under the categories of traditionalism, resourcefulness, cunning, ambition, leadership qualities, self-preservation, determination, cleverness, fraternity, and power. Their house Sigil is a Serpent, which is the only one that actually seems to fit the name of the house.

Personally, I hope I end up in Ravenclaw, but in the end, I don't really care where I end up. Anywhere is fine with me, but I feel like I would work in Ravenclaw the most. How about you?" Mist asked Adair after her long-winded description, which seemed to surprise even Adair as she processed all the information that had just been told to her about the different houses, on the top of this girls head. Maybe she really did fit into Ravenclaw after all.

"I want to be in Hufflepuff! They sound like nice people!" Adair exclaimed in response to Mist's descriptions. "And you sound like a Ravenclaw to me! Good luck to us both on getting into the houses we want to!" She said cheerfully, to which Mist smiled brightly and gave a nod of her head.

"Sorry about that Julia! We kind of acted like we forgot you were there!" Adair exclaimed, realizing that they had rambled on and on while Julia had to just sit there and listen to them.

[Tumbra]

After finding out that it wasn't even eleven yet, he walked back to his compartment. Or what he thought was his compartment.
To his utter horror, the compartment he had accidentally stumbled into had loads of people in it.
"H..hi"

Jacob saw a young boy walk into their compartment. He looked nervous and scared. "Hi" Jacob said to him kindly. "What's your name mate?" He asked him, trying to make him less nervous. He remembered when he was a first year, he was nervous too.

"I'm Thaddeus. I'm a third year. And I'm in Ravenclaw." Thaddeus said rather defensively. God, do I really look that young? he thought as he took a seat.

[Tomia]

Jacob was surprised by Thaddeus' defensive attitude, as well as by the fact that he was a third year. "Well, my name's Jacob. It's good to meet you. This is my girlfriend Pandora, and our friend Lucy." He said motioning to the girls next to him. They both gave a friendly wave to Thaddeus.

[Tumbra]

"Erm, am I intruding on anything? You all seem to be having a good time..." Thaddeus stammered out. He was really nervous, thinking he might have offended those students.

[Fowlick]

Professor Gabricht, after finishing a game of Wizard's chess, went out into the corridor and took down his signs. While out here he saw the hustle and bustle of the students going around on the train. He smiled at this and returned to his room, but leaving the door open in case of any student wanting to meet.

Jennifer had felt normal sitting alone in a front care, but knew that she would be unable to make new friends easily with her isolationist habits. This then led her to go out to the trolley for some treat in hopes of meeting other first years.

Hector, after attempting to commandeer a compartment, decided to join Jennifer in the front. He felt protective of her sister, but not as much as Jeremy did. This was clear in their different methods of dealing with "problems".

Jeremy had left the search and decided to join Professor Gabricht in a game of Wizard's chess. He enjoyed a good game, and knew that the professor would guarantee a long game.

[Tomia]

Jacob shook his head to the nervous boy. "No it's alright, we were just hanging out." Pandora nodded in agreement. "Ya, you can stay if you'd like to." She told the third year boy in her Italian accent.

[Tumbra]

Hearing Pandora's distinctive accent, he asked her "You're not from England, are you?" as he took a seat.
