Just Leaving. [Open to all]

[Ryan Shanks]

Nick scurried on to the train bright and early into the morning for his first time ever! he couldn't believe it he was finally going to go to hogwarts.

He walked up and down the isles many times.Each compartment was always full. Finally he found one that he had missed before so he entered. He threw his suit case up on the top of a shelf in there and sat down.

The train stated to move he was so excited. he waved by to his mom, dad, little brother and new born baby sister. He sat back and was ready to enjoy his first ever ride to Trios. He was getting kinda lonely in his compartment all by himself. He opened his cats carring case and let Tiger roam around the compartment. Nick really wished that he was going to make friends at this school.

[Brent Raven]

Lets think this over, Brent was 17 and going to school. Bit odd.. Yes.. Stranger, was he came here on his own, none of his family waited outside the train crying or even waving him goodbye. Brent was alone. Shaking his head away from the thoughts of family, with only his pet owl Adolia, sitting sleepily in her cage, opening an amber eye as he walked down the corridor of the train, his trunk being wheeled behind him, students didn't appreciate the fact that he was taking up alot of room by going down the hall in the middle of it. Brent took this as a way to gain friends here at the school.

Quite honestly he was enjoying it more than the other students. Blowing a stray hair out of his face as he walked, clumzily bumping into a girl, who gave him the eyes of a female who was checking him out. Great girls who like guys, Maybe I should have gone to a all guys school. I doubt to many guys would give me the eyes Brent considered jumping off now, while he could still swim, but he had already written his aunt and cousin of his arrival at Hogwarts. Well your stuck with it now..

Finally getting tired of angering people, Brent found a already occupied compartment. Shrugging he placed his stuff inside, before shutting the door with a SNAP. "Ello... Mind if I join you?" Brent asked the other guy within the compartment, he only shut the compartment so the group of girls that we're comming down the hall, wouldn't giggle as they past. Giggling of females made Brent want to throw a few rocks or something at them. But instead shutting the compartment door till they past was the best he could do at this point of time.

Shaking his head, as he looked around the inside of the scarlet train that was his ticket to Hogwarts. The seats we're well made and it had a lovely view of the rolling hills and country side outside. Finding that the other boy wouldn't mind Brent walked across the floor, dragging trunk and all, he threw his things on top of the wired holder above the heads of the seats, and set Adolia at his side.

[Ryan Shanks]

Tiger was playing with the door when it opened. Tiger jumped up on his lap and layed down looking into the eyes of the boy who had just walked in.

"Ello... Mind if I join you?"

Nick replied in a friendly smile. "yeah sure go for it.... I'm Nick Trimin.. Who are you?" Nick looked at the owl the boy had. It looked very elegant. "I like your owl.. Whats its name?" Nick ask trying to start a conversation with the boy. Nick looked out the window at the train starting to move faster and faster until all was just a blur. Relizing that he couldn't tell what anything was anymore he turned his gaze bck to the boy waiting for his reply.

[Brent Raven]

"Names Brent Raven... " Brent replied to the boys question. For once, Brent was paying attention. Amazing, normally around this point in a conversation, Brent would zone out, to think of more important things, or what he considered important. The thoughts never we're really important, but nothing much could hold onto Brents attention for very long.

He asked another question regarding Adolia, her pale moon shaped face, brought out her lovely amber eyes, a Barn Owl, most common of the owls, but Brent thought that Adolia was the most beautiful one he's ever seen. "Oh, her name is Adolia.. It doesn't mean anything special, it's just different." he stated. Normally people asked when a name was unique or different, they assumed there was a meaning to it. Adolia was just Adolia.

The owl watched the cat with her amber eyes, making sure it wouldn't come anywhere near her space, and her manor, the steal cage that was her protection. Adolia let out a small quite screech and clicked her tounge against her beak, to give it a warning, that she would bite if bothered, then closed her eyes, hopefully to gather some good rest before she got to her new home at Trios.

Brent yawned as he looked at Nick. Forgetting to say something... "Oh, nice to meet you Nick. Sorry, I tend to forget things." he told the other boy. "So what house do you hope to get in?" asked Brent. "Personally Ravenclaw would be the house I most hope to gain entry.." he stated.

[Ryan Shanks]

Adolia that was a cool name. Nick watched the Owl in aww. It was the most beautiful Owl he had ever seen. Even though that he had not seen very many of them, but that one by far was the best.

"So what house do you hope to get in? Personally Ravenclaw would be the house I most hope to gain entry.."

Nick had to think for a second he hadn't really given taht much thought. "Yeah i have to agree with you. I really like Ravenclaw, but then again i like Gryffindor too!" he said. "I just don't want to be put into Slytherin." he added. Nick looked around at his cat. Tiger was eyeing Adolia big time, but she figured as long as the owl stayed inside its cage he was alright. He closed one eye, but kept the other one open. "So where are you from?" Nick ask retruning back into the conversation.

[Brent Raven]

Area of location, hmm how interesting. He never really considered where he was from some place that people would take an interest in. Brent was from Italy, but how can he tell Nick this, without being in to much awe, the contry was known, and most loved it, or loved to go to it. Instead he'd make it simple. "Bari, off the Gulf of Manfredonia" he replied. If Nick questioned what country that was in. He'd have to spill.

Brent shook his head, Adolia had no idea, that she had a watcher. She slept soundly ignoring the fact that she was being watched. "Barn Owls,, you have to love their face." Brent said as he let his fingers go between the bars and stroked her long white glossy feathers. Adolia didn't even open her eyes, she slept soundly.

He agreed, that Gryffindor most wanted to be admitted to. Brent didn't care about what house he got into, well maybe alittle, Slytherin and Mihael weren't his top choices, Mihael because the house colors we're pink, and Slytherin because it would label him to much, for also being a werewolf... Sigh what a complicated life.

"Yeah.. I'm with you there, I wouldn't want to be in Slytherin. But, I doubt I'll be in Gryffindor.. I don't have the brawn, or bravery that they look for in that house. No I'm more of the artistic quite type.. If anything I'll get into Mihael, since that's kindda what they look for. Artistic type of people..." Brent said. "But yeah.. Gryffindor is the most popular house out of them all..." He said.

[Ryan Shanks]

Hm... Bari he didn't thing that he had heard of that, but then again thaee were alot of things that he had never heard of before. A barn owl... "yeah her face looks amazing thats probably the kind that im gonna get. My mom will only let me have an Owl if i behave here." Nick told him. Talking of his mom made him think of her... he didn't much miss her. He just wasn't looking forward to missin her.

He cat was still eyeing Adolia weirdly. Nick had seen that look before...... He was gonna pounce at any moment. Nick saw him starting to get up on his legs very slowly, and then he jumped.. Nick yelled No! at his cat and brabed him by the stomach right before he hit the cage. "Tiger stop clawing me!" Nick yelled at his cat. Nick quickly put Tiger back in his cage. he was ashamed of him.

Nick thought to himself how weird that must of sounded from outside the compartment, but owell he didn't care it would just make him popular, but maybe not in a good way. O well. It was true Gryffindor was the most popular, but that wasn't the reason why he would want to be in it. he would want to be in it for what they are known for. "Hey im not much brawn im mostly just nice and smart." Nick told him. He might of sounded bragy so he quickly added on after that statement. "Not trying to be bragy though."

[Brent Raven]

"Hey it's cool to brag everyonce in awhile. I mean everyone has something about themselves that they belive is the greatest thing since String Cheese. And either so, you weren't bragging, you we're stating what type of personality you have. Tad bit different." Brent pointed out. "Like me, I have artistic skills, and I tend to be annoying, immature, crazy, and quite, though the Quiet, is in a league of it's own." he stated with a wide grin.

Brent knew the cat couldn't help itself, Adolia was a winged friend. Tiger would not have been anything cat-like if he didn't try to go after the large bird. "If Tiger did get ahold of her, I bet she would have tore him appart. Owls, are predatory birds.. They don't eat seed and plants. I would have been more worried of Adolia than Tiger." Brent stated.

"Yes Barn Owls, are great reliable owls, but it's not the only kind. There's Tawny, Eagle, Great Horned, Snowy, Barred, Burrowing.. I can't remember the other types.. But there's plent others." Brent told him. Brent knew alot about Animals in general, any type of Muggle Animal, he could name over, 300 species. It wasn't his fault, when he was stuck with muggle things all the time, blocked from the magical world, he watched Animal Planet.

Might as well mention where Bari, is. He'll get a head ache trying to figure out where it was. Brent knew he would, but that might just be Brent. "Bari is in Italy, WAYYY down in the south peninsula. It's basicly in the finger.. As we call it.." he told Nick. "What about you? Where do you live at?" asked Brent.

[grace]

As Grace left her sister in an other compartment, being completely annoyed with her. She found that they were filling up fast, sliding the door open to a random compartment she stepped in with her back to it, Grace slid the door shut turning around to see people already in there. A small smile came to her face, as she looked back and forth at the two boys.

"Mind if I join you boys?" Grace asked, with a small smirk forming at her lips. Biting her lower lip, she felt the urge to grab her book and begin to write. Taking a few steps in, she took a seat right next to the window. Placing her head against the window looking out she let out a small silent sigh. "I'm Grace, by the way.." She said, looking at the boys. She began to wonder who entered the compartment her sister was in. She was sure she was fine. Even if they were twins, they seemed to have nothing in common.

As she looked down at her bags she reached in and grabbed out her book, opening it to a blank page she began to jot down some notes, closing it so no one could see, she placed it back in her bag. Grace didn't know why she was so protected over some one seeing it. It was not like some one could breakthe spell she had on it. Licking her bottom lip, she turned he head to te others.

[[Sorry, This post kinda sucks..]]

[Ryan Shanks]

[No worries its cool]
"Um.. I used to live in The united states but when we got the owl excepting me into Hogwarts we moved to England. Its pretty cool there. I do not have a english accsent but everybody there does and i love listenign to them." Nick took a deep breath as he looked back out the window.

"Wow so there are alot of Owls thats so cool I'm not sure but i think ill get one that looks like yours." Nick told him admiring his owl. "yeah Tiger isn't really that tough. He just wants people to think he is." Nick said with a laugh. His cat was clawing at the door of the cage. That reminded him that nexzted year he should get his cat declawed.

Nick turned his head towards the door. Someones shadow was opening the door. A girl who looked like a first year just like them. "Mind if I join you boys?" Nick replied in a friendly smile. "Sure come on in." Nick looked at the girl she had long brown hair and nice tan skin. All and all she didn't look that bad. She walked in and sat down in a seat by the window. "I'm Grace, by the way.." Grace said. Nick replied,"Nice to meet you Grace. I'm Nick and this is Brent. I'm a first year. What about you?" He asked looking at her.

[Brent Raven]

Brent nodded his head in agreement to Nick. He didn't mind one bit of another person, joining there 'group.' Besides for all that Brent knew that it was a free enough country, and this girl was in her right to join them, even if they didn't want her. His eyes wandered to her, as she went to the window seat.

He watched her fumble with some type of book, taking it out of her bag, and then back in once she made sure it was still there. He shook his head. Girls and their books. He thought. "So I take it, that's a very important book that the Queen of England is only permitted to see. Or that it's something vert secritive, and you feel that we'd make fun of you, for writing thoughts, or stories." Brent pipped up when he saw her place the book back into her bag.

Brent shook his head. Why was he so mean. Oh yeah, he liked to be at times, but other times he didn't. This girl caught him in a bad mood, for a millionth of a second. Returning his attention back to Nick he said. "Yeah Barn Owls are amazing" he stated. "and yes, there are alot of owls. They use them for just about anything." he stated.

Ah the United States. Nope, Brent wasn't one of those people. He was Italian, that's all there was to it. "Really," he started to say. "I can't say that I've ever been to the United States. But I have a cousin who's been to Singapore, Asia." he said.

[grace]

"Hmm.. well I guess you will just never know." Grace said smoothly, as she let a smirk fall upon her face. Thinking back to Nick's question she let out a small and short sigh. "Yeah, I am first year." She said rolling her eyes. As she looked over a Nick, she couldn't help but smile, he was too cute.

"So what about you?" Grace asked, looking over a Brent. "Your a first year to?" As she waited for his reply, she felt her self begging to become lost in her thoughts and found the fact, looking threw a train window, at the beautiful landscapes isn't as beautiful as she thought. As she let her eyes focus out side the window, Melody came back popping up in her head. Even if her and her sister were completely different, she wondered what Drama would come between them at school, there was already so much that happened at home.

"I can't believe were going to Hogwarts, I feel like it it some dream." Chelsea said to no one particular. As she turned her head to the boys, she felt her self smiling even more than she already had today. Which was odd, because Grace couldn't remember the last time she smiled so much.

[Ryan Shanks]

"I know im really excited." Nick said smiling to her. Sh eseemed really nice. Nick turned his focus back to the last thing Brent had said."I have personally never been to Asia but i also know someone who has." Nick told him. "So what house do you want toget into?" he asked Grace. He already knew that Brent thought that he would be in Mihael, and Nick really either wanted to be in Gryffindor or Ravenclaw. Still though. Nick liked to get to know people. Who knows she might even turn out to be a god friend of his. Maybe. Nick looked out the window. It was getting more and more beautiful by the second. He turned his Hazel gaze back to his cat. She was curled up in a little ball eyeing Grace. Tiger was the kind of cat that acted all brave when really she wasn't. That much. Just a friend.

Victiore got on the train and said goodbye to her parents then went to find a compartment.Victiore searched and search but couldn't find any empty compartments lefts until she came to a compartment with two boys and one girl in. She decieded to ask if she may sit there. "Bon Jour, may I zit ere? " asked Victiore.She noticed the food trolley was coming and that she was in the way, so she quickly came into the compartment without being invited, so the food trolley may pass.

[Ryan Shanks]

A girl entered a compartment with them and said, ""Bon Jour, may I zit ere?" Nick reconised her accsent and told her back. "Yeah sure. Go for it... I'm Nick Trimin. THis is Brent Raven, and Grace Monte. Who are you?" Nick took in the image of the girl. She seemed to be new to all of this just like he Brent and Grace were. She had short blonde hair and bright blue eyes. Nick guessed by her accsent that she wasn't english or american like the rest of them were.

[spellsta]

"Merci, I am Victiore Evans, la première année gryffindor, sont n'importe lequel d'entre vous d'abord les années ou gryffindors(first year gryffindor, are any of you first years or gryffindors).I am an an ex-Beauxbatons student, french and am quarter veela."Victiore went and put her luggage in the luggage rack and sat down with her handbag in her lap. She got out of her case her laptop, it was in a Beauxbatons Case.She inserted her wand into the slot then scaned the fingerprint over the scaner and her laptop started within moments.

[rain1994]

Rain wandered up and down the train, hoping desperatly to find somwhere to sit. Her brothers and sisters had disappeared and she was getting tired. Then she saw a compartment with 4 people in. It was better than the others so she slid the door open, wondering if she'd find any more Americans. She got into a habit back home of calling people 'dude' as she met them, a habit from 1 time to many at the skate park in New Jersey. Hopefully she'd get out of it soon.

"Mind if I sit here dudes? and dudettes." she added not wishing to leave the other girls out.

For some reason, being in England really made her think about her accent. Today it sounded really obvious. She really hoped she wouldn't be the only one with a weird accent.

[Brent Raven]

Oi this place is getting packed.. Well I can't say that I'll be alone, for any period of time.. Now that I have friends like Nick...Maybe Grace. Hmm.. Brent thought. Not even paying attention as the door swung open once more. Looking up as he realized voices trailed into the room once more after Victiore had made herself comfortable. Another girl had came and joined them. She was straight American, Brent could figure that much out from her accent. The fact that she called the people inside, Dude/Dudette.

"Nice to meet you Victiore. As Nick said. I'm Brent.." he said as he eyed the Computer. "You know that won't work once we get to Hogwarts right." he pointed out. "Any muggle devices won't work, not even muggle made watches will work." said Brent. He didn't want to seem rude and quite to Victiore, and the fact that she can speak French interested Brent, since he spoke it. "Bienvenue À Hogwarts" [Welcome To Hogwarts] he knew it was a bit out there, he did spent two months in France. So he knew a bit about the language. Letting Victiore know that she wasn't the only one who could speak the language, probably made her feel more at home.

Brent returned his attention to the new-commer. "Hiya. I'm Brent Raven. That's Nick. There's Grace Over There. And This is Victiore." Brent said with a kind welcoming smile. He knew he was going to like this school already, so many new faces. People to meet people to see. "All of us are firsties.." he thought he might as well answer the question of Graces that she had asked Brent moments before Victiore's arrival into the Compartment.

"Alright. Since it's getting quite crowded in here. We might as well get to know each other. We'll ask 1 question and everyone will have to answer it. Then someone else ask 1 question and so on. Till we get to Hogwarts." said Brent. "I'll come up with the first question. What is your favorite color?" he asked. "My favorite color would have to be. Lime Green or Dodger Blue." said Brent. -for those who don't know what Dodger Blue is.. It's the color text I'm using.-

[Ryan Shanks]

They were all talking and enjoying themselves when a new girl came in. Wow thats like six people in one compartment, and they still had room for two more. The door opened and another person stepped throgh. Brent introduced everybody. Nick decided to welcome the girl. "Hi, WHo are you?" he asked her. She seemed american just by the words that she used. Nick was also american but he didn't use those kinds of words. His friends did though.

What Brent suggested seemed like a fun way to pass the time. Plus to get to know eachother. Nick had never heard of Doger Blue but he thought he could picture it in his mind. "I'll go next." he told everybody. Nick had to think for a minute until he finally decided on his two favorites. "Mine would probably have to be... Blue and Green. I love those colors together." He then looked around to see who would answer next.

[grace]

"Purple." Grace said randomly, as she watched more and more people come in. Looking over at the girl who appeared to seem French, she rolled her eyes. Letting out a small sigh, she got up. sitting beside Nick closest to the door. Looking over at Brent who was directly in front of her. Biting the corner of her lip, she waited for others to reply to he question Brent had asked. He had some really good idea's.

[[Okay wow... shortest post of my life! But I don't have any time!! I will post long next time!]]
