Sitting in the train

Blaine sat down in an empty compartment and sank into thoughts. His Dads had cried a bit when they'd waited with him on the platform. Or rather, his 'mom'-dad had cried and his manly dad had hugged him and Sera had practically hung onto his leg and begged him not to go.
He smiled as he felt a drawing from her in his pocket. It was just crayons and small paper but to him it was like a DaVinci. That was just the way he was with his sister, of course, that wasn't really something he'd brag about, but still.
He heard the door slide open and looked up in surprise, "Hi."

Running a hand through my silky blonde hair, I shifted my bag around on my shoulder. Sixteen years old, and just finishing off my fifth year. I could feel my light green eyes rolling at the mere reminder. If only the school had allowed me to start with the rest of my age group, then I would have been in sixth year like I was supposed to.. but no. I was stuck in fifth year.

I wrinkled my nose as I pulled myself up onto the train, wondering if I should find someone else who was alone and possibly join them, or just seclude myself for the moment being. The new girl again, back to knowing no one. I couldn't say I minded, because I enjoyed meeting new people and making new friends. I was good at it too. It just got a bit tiring after a while, but I supposed I brought it all on myself.

Inwardly shrugging I slipped into one of the first chambers I saw... which happened to already be occupied. I paused for a moment, blinking as I contemplated my actions. It already seemed as if I'd caught the other's attention though, because he was looking up to me in surprise. I waited a few more moments before I offered him a slight smile. "Hi." I replied, my mind still reeling. But then I figured, what did I have to lose?

"Sorry.. didn't mean to just barge in." I mused, before finally deciding to add, "Mind if I sit with you?"

Rhiannon walked through the halls of the train. She was actually pretty excited to go to school once again. Though she still did find it odd that she was going to school with her cousin. Yes, Leighton was teaching, but it was still odd to think that they were in the same building. Shrugging, she held her bag in her hand as it slung over her shoulder as she made her way further. She really didn't want to look into some of the compartments, mainly because she did know what some of the kids did, and she did not want to end up seeing somethin that was not quite what she wanted to see.

Walking past one of the compatments, realizing she knew the boy who say within but the girl was new. Pondered whether or not that she should join them or possibly get one of her own, she sighed. Better to be with people than alone she figured. Pulling the door open, she smiled. "Hey," she beamed to the girl and Blaine. "Mind if I join you guys?"

I was still standing there a bit awkwardly to say the very least, and I instinctively ran my fingers through my hair again, a nervous habit I'd picked up over the years. I never really realized when I was doing it, either. Shifting my bags on my shoulder, I glanced to the side of me just in time to see an older girl walking in. Moving to the side a bit so I was out of her way, I angled my body so that I was facing either of them.

Now in a chamber with two people I'd never met before, I found myself biting on my lower lip. The girl seemed friendly enough, so I offered her a tentative upturn of my lips. "Hey." I replied, never one that was usually shy, but for some reason it was coming out in me. I shrugged my shoulders a bit at her question, my eyes making their way over to the guy instead. Considering he had been here first, and so that meant it was all up to him.

Blaine nodded at the girl and then grinned broadly seeing Rhi.
"No prob, the more the merrier!" He said making room for them, "And I´m Blaine." he introduced himself to the new girl though fighting hard to keep from looking at Rhi all the time. He had never taken to someone as quickly as he had with her.
And while it was strange, he welcomed the change.

It wasn't hard for me to figure out that these two knew each other quite well - I could tell by the way the guy lit up when he saw her. Of course I didn't want to feel like an intruder, but I would feel a bit silly if I just randomly left now. So with a shrug, I took a seat opposite of the guy who introduced himself as Blaine.

Settling back into my seat a bit until I was comfortable, I offered him a slight smile. "Emmaleah." I replied back, but more so introducing myself to both of them. "Most people just call me Emmy." I added, figuring I'd make their lives easier. Crossing my arms a bit, I wondered what else I could possibly say. Not wanting to look idiotic by sitting there silently, I said the first thing that came to mind.

"So, what house are you guys in?"

Rhiannon spotted the girl, a slight awkward feel to her. She was asking to join too? Shurgging, Rhi let it go as she listened to Blaine, saying that they both could join. Wonderful! She gets to be with a guy she had taken a liking too and meet someone new! What was not to like? Smiling, she plopped down next Blaine happily after closing the door. "Nice to meet you Emmy!" she mused happily.

She probably sounded utterly ridiculous at how chipper she was, but she couldn't help it. She was happy to be back at Hogwarts and she was happy to meet new people and just simply happy overall. If they couldn't handle it then... well not her problem. Smiling, she pulled her legs close to her body as she got comfortable on the seat, sure glad she had pretty stretchy white skinny jeans on. "I am Rhiannon by the way. Though most people just call me Rhi," she shrugged with a grin.

Blaine smiled and nodded, "nice to meet you Emmy. I'm a puff, hufflepuff, that is." he grinned. Rhi seemed rather happy, it was cute. She sat next to him and he smiled at the two girls, glad to have some familiar faces in the castle. "and what year are you? I'm seventh." he grinned.

Rhiannon blushed slightly. Her happy go lucky attitude right now had probably been making her deaf, or perhaps selective hearing. She had not heard the girl ask what house she was, or maybe she forgot? Either way, she felt embarassed when Blaine spoke in response. "Oh right!" she smiled sheepishly, "I am a Hufflepuff too! And a seventh year. What about you?" she asked like Blaine had. Not too obnoxious she hoped..

I placed my clasped hands into my lap in an almost absent way, my eyes curiously watching the two. The girl was super friendly, and while she was acting a bit too cheerful, I didn't mind. Perhaps it was just the way she was, or maybe she was in a good mood, I wasn't going to judge her for it. She was talking to me and that was all that really mattered. At least she was making me feel welcome. "Nice to meet you both." I replied happily when I heard the girl introduce herself as Rhi and after she heard Blaine's words.

My head tilted to the side when I heard Blaine say he was in Hufflepuff, a seventh year. Rhi followed a few moments after, and I noticed she was blushing. Maybe because it seemed as if she'd completely disregarded my question? I couldn't help but laugh a bit, considering it wasn't that big of a deal. But then I heard she was also a Hufflepuff, seventh year, and I frowned a bit but shrugged. "Oh, that's cool. I'm in Slytherin, fifth year." I paused, before deciding to add. "Technically supposed to be a sixth year, but.." I shrugged with a sheepish grin.

Rhiannon let out a soft sigh. Not that she did not enjoy her overly perky attitude, cause she actually quite enjoyed it, but she did not want to shoot for annoying the others in the compartment. Not a good way to start off before going to school, already annoying people. She heard Emmy laugh and that let her relax. Not like she had an issure meeting people really, but it was always nice to hear the comforting sounds she guessed. "Slytherin? That's awesome, you got some good house mates," she admitted with a smile.

Well she had not actually talked to a bunch of them, but she hoped that they were as nice as Emmy was. "Really? What happened? Why aren't you a sixth year? That is if you don't mind me asking," she questioned quite curious as she pulled her bag close to her and pulled out three lollipops, and looked at her mates that were in there. "Would you like one?" she offered them both before takin one and popping it in her mouth.
