[How could I not be exited, I have a major twin obession/fetish. I'm chat roleplaying them with a friend at this very moment. :3]

Bloody train. Always the same bloody train. Same bloody people. Same bloody Slytherins. Ah, forget it. Ron kissed his mum good-bye, following the herd of Weasley siblings onto the Express. He barely heard his parents' farewell, lugging his trunks onto the bus. Never one to be picky, he simply went to the compartment nearest the entrance he'd used.

Without fuss he brought his stuff in, getting settled before looking around to see who else inhabited the compartment he'd chosen. She was familiar, anyway. A fifth year, like himself. No doubt they'd had some classes together. Name, name... bloody hell. Why couldn't remember her name? Clues... Ravenclaw robes. That was something, anyway. She was a Quidditch player, he remembered... Seeker. Ravenclaw seeker...

"Hey, Kylie, right? Do you mind if I join you?" Beats sitting with a Slytherin, anyway. Jerks, the lot of them. Ugh. He offered the girl his best lopsided grin, blue-green eyes flashing from under the shag of Weasley-red hair.

"Do you have everything, dear? Your mother called to make sure I sent you off properly." Eva nodded, smiling. "Yes Auntie Sophie. I'm all set." With a proud smile the older woman touched the younger girl's shoulder, then her cheek, which she kissed. "Well, good luck. I'll see you home for Christmas, unless Thomas decides to take another holiday. I'll let you know once I figure it out." With another nod Eva kissed her 'aunt' back, then boarded the train.

It nevr ceased to amaze her, this whole thing. Five years ago she'd been a regular American teenager. Now she was in England studying magic. Apparently it had skipped around, but the Italian legacy of stregga in her family was fully present, if... sporadic. Auntie Sophie was an old friend of the family, and the only other witch they knew, least of all the only other English citizen, so it was with this distant aquaintance she spent a good deal of her time.

Shaking off that path of thought Eva made her way onto the train, Alba wrapping himself around her neck and tickling her ear with his whiskers. She found an empty compartment -probably the last one- and sighed with relief. No awkward moment of asking a fellow student to sit with them. Wonderful. Stowing her trunks away neatly she settled in, waving out the window at Auntie Sophie. Another wonderful year at Hogwarts.

The second Hermione wandered on to platform 9 3/4 she looked around. There were people waving, families hugging, mothers crying, and she hung her head. That was the only thing that really bothered her about being muggle-born; her parents never getting to see anything of the magical world. Blinking away negative thoughts, she pulled her trunk behind her as Crookshanks walked alongside.  Finally getting her stuff on the Hogwarts Express and boarding the train herself she glanced around in search of her friends.  None of them were on board yet. Spotting Kylie she invited herself into the compartment,

"Hey Kylie," she had gotten to know the girl a bit over her past years at Hogwarts and she seemed nice enough, "Can I sit here?" Without waiting for an answer she sat, in dire need of rest after a ridiculously long morning.

Zooey bustled through the train and spotted Vinny sitting alone. She swung into the compartment to sit next to one of her best friends (is that all right?) with a grin on her face. She pulled Totem from her pocket and set him on the sea next to her in hopes that some Hufflepuff girl wouldn’t try to sit there. Smiling at her friend she asked,

“What’ve you been up to all summer, eh?”

--

Xander was laying on a bench in his compartment alone and content; a trick formulating in the back of his mind as he rested, hoping not to be disturbed, but knowing his hopes were futile.

OoC; Since there aren’t so many guys in this roleplay mind if I play Neville? –begs- I love him <3

Zuri was pulled into a massive hug by her father, Sirius. "Zuri, try to make some friends, okay?" Sirius asked, more like pleaded, with the girl. She responded with a short nod along with a deep sigh.

She walked onto the train, grey eyes searching for an empty compartment. No empty ones. She sighed, and walked into the nearest cart, which happened to have a boy, who was laying down at the moment, on the bench across from her. She placed her luggage on the ledge above the seats, and sat down, just noticing the boy.

She stayed silent, but she wondered why the boy was laying down. Maybe he was sleepy, or maybe he was just anti-social like herself. She pondered for a moment, staring out of the window.

 Anything I forgot and you would like to add:Matthew Dave Lewis is one smexy piece of bum ;P

OoC; I'll respond to Zuri as I introduce Neville :D

BiC;

As Neville walked through the train in search of some people to sit with, he found his friend Xander lying on a bench, with a girl sitting across from him. Pushing Xander out of his way he sat and asked her,

"Is this lug bothering you?" His tone was playful, "Y'know, I wouldn't mind just..." He made a kicking action that seemed to shake Xander out of his reverie.

--

Xander shot up and glared at NEville before smiling at Zuri, 

"Hey! I'm Xander. What's your name? And what house are you in? You look familiar to me..."

OoC; Xander is one hyperactive beast xD

Eva gave her usual bright smile, waving excitedly as she saw Amaryllis. "Can you sit here, well of course! Our prized Seeker. Like I would turn you down. " Rolling her eyes jokingly Eva laughed, filling the box with the sound. "I've been doing just fine. Missing my mom and dad, obviously, but hey. I'm a young woman free to roam as she pleases. They're so proud to have a witch in the family, that they don't even mind sending me overseas."

She gave a shrug, tossing a wave of black-brown hair over her shoulders. "So how excited are you for the quidditch season? We're sure to win our matches. Gryffindor is just amazing like that. I wonder who our new batch of first years will be? Prime meat, now doubt. Nothing but the biggest and bravest will do for us." A grin flashed, exposing briefly the points of her white teeth, a family trait, and her fierce electric blue eyes, an oddity.

Looking up at the entrance, Ron quickly went back to his... Book? Comic. Just another Ravenclaw genius. Whatever.

Before Zuri could calculate anything, she had another boy in the cart with her, and the one that was laying on the bench before was acting like he had just drank twelve energy drinks. She was a bit startled, but she couldn't help but smile, which was very, very unusual for her. However, the smile was only slight.

"I'm Zuri, I'm in Slytherin, and I'm Sirius's daughter." She blinked a couple times, and looked down.
