Welcome to Gaia! ::

Seeing the professor move the kids along without hearing him had Ronyo chuckling seeing that she did indeed have her hands full this year. It did not bother him, though he would have liked to help her out if possible. Ronyo moved on to the carriages and stopped as he could see several second years moving to find places amongst each other. Another not so kind reminder that he was lacking several friends that he normally would have meet up with by now, even Jane was surprisingly absent from the scene for some reason. Ronyo looked to see if there was any carriage that had an open spot still, it was unusual for him to have to look for just one seat but then he usually was much quicker at getting to the carriages to reserve one for his friends.

"I wonder if there is ever not enough seats?"

Ronyo spoke to himself as he moved about but smiled as he realized the silliness of his question. This was Hogwarts, the school that always seemed prepared for whatever the students could come up with. Running out of seats on a carriage pulled by magical creatures seemed highly unlikely. Still it didn't mean it would make it any easier on him to find an open seat.

@>>Nell blushed bringing a dusty rose color onto her cheeks at Marina's hints towards Cameron but didn't keep the smile from coming across her lips. "I kinda doubt either one would give up until she picks. They're both Gryffindors, hardheaded and stubborn as the rest of the house." she gave a chuckle. Seeing Ada finally arrived, if a bit frazzled, made her smile widen at the sight of her fellow Hufflepuff, now there were equal with the Slytherin girls! At hearing that her mother was pregnant made her all excited for her. That's great! You'll have someone to look up to you and love unconditionally, and...it's just great!" she finished with a laugh. When they were almost to the carriages Nell turned her head to see Marina looking a bit pale and frowned in worry. "You alright there Marina? You're lookin' a bit pale." she asked concerned.<<@

Jane stretched as she stepped from the train and look around. She had been mostly occupied with her own thoughts and stayed as much out of the way that she could. Her train of thought had varied much through-out the trip, ranging from Allen to the new baby. The thought of of being a big sister excited and she tried to stay focused on that and maybe actually get through a sorting ceremony for what she was pretty sure would be the first time sense her first year. How much had changed since then. She sighed and rubbed her face. I'm okay, I'll be back home in a few months she thought to herself. Think of the baby. She stretched and looked around spotting familiar white hair. It was as suddenly a dam had broke in her mind and memories came flooding back. After they incident Jane had tried to get as back to normal as possible and she did surprisingly well but now that she was here, magic all around her, she new it couldn't just be normal again. Things would change, but if she had any say in it, it would be better. She'd make sure of that. Jane tried to smile and look friendly. She had probably started to get a reputation of being the creepy, antisocial outcast. She would change that too.

How did we get here? When I used to know you so well?



Marina eyes locked onto Damien's for a split second, then she looked away. It made her feel even worse to look him in the eyes. Everything was different about him now. She suspected that he had overheard Ada, and braced herself for a nasty comment. None came. He looked like he was tired.... Of everything. As if he didn't think it was worth it. In a way, she realized she felt the same. She had encountered evil in the world already, and she was only twelve. Suddenly everything seemed so pointless. What was the point of it all, if they were all going to die anyway? If there were people out there killing and creating pain and grief and it never seemed to end? She had looked into the eyes of a madman, and had known he was going to kill her if he got the chance. One of her most recurring nightmares was that Owens was going to come back for her, and that there would be no one to save her this time. That's why I have to be ready, she thought grimly. Nobody almost dies twice, Marina. You're never going to get that lucky. With those thoughts she pasted a reassuring smile on her face and lied smoothly. "I'm alright Nell, I just have a bad headache all of a sudden." Inside she rejoiced. She could lie again! Finally! All summer her conscience had been on overdrive and telling even the smallest of white lies had been impossible. She distantly thought that maybe she shouldn't be so happy about this, but brushed the notion away. She was a Slytherin. They were supposed to lie. Hell, she could probably earn house points for it. So she kept on smiling, though inside she was swirling in guilt and depression, and turned to Ada. "You're so lucky! I wish I had a sibling. Being an only child is overrated." That was true. She'd often wished for someone, anyone who she could confide in at home. It was always just her and her parents. It occurred to her that Damien was an only child too. At least, she thought so. She'd never heard about him having any siblings. She wondered if he ever was lonely. Maybe. But she would have to toughen up. She couldn't go around looking ill every time she saw the boy. People would start to talk.
