Platform 9¾

[The Forgotten Weasley]

The first time I realized I was living in this world
I was probably looking at the sky
And forgive me, but I don't know
If I remember enough to say
What the air was really like that day

Dagrun ran her fingers through her hair; this was the longest she'd let it grow in years, but she'd gotten sick of her bob and thought it was time for a change, since she was in the middle of a growth spurt as well. The platform wasn't nearly as exciting now that she was a second year, but she did think watching the new first years was sort of funny, since so many of them were clearly nervous. She yawned when her brother did, and leaned against her luggage. "Should we just find a compartment? It's packed. I feel like there's even more people here than last year." Or maybe she'd just been too distracted last year to notice. Either way, she doubted they were about to stumble across anyone they were friends with in this crowd, and if she got bumped into one more time she was going to snap.

Don't recall, I was young
The next thing I knew,
The stars were eyes up in the night
And the ocean breathing heavy like a beast

spaceSorin followed behind his sister through the barrier, eyes narrowed slightly on her. He noticed the change in demeanor almost instantly when they were out of their father's sight, her shoulders relaxing somewhat, her spine straightening. Still, she was far from her usual self, still drawn very inward, much to his chagrin. "Summer's officially over, Celeste," he tried, coming to stand next to her. "Away from him for another year."

spaceHe'd meant it to be comforting, but it was obvious she didn't find it so. Her eyes darted to him, wary and nervous. "Maybe, but what about Hermolaos?" she whispered, clearly seeking the boy out in the crowd. Sorin didn't miss the way she flinched when she said his name. "He didn't get prefect, so I'll be stuck with him on the train. I doubt he'll even let Finny join us." She looked despondent at the prospect, and Sorin felt the stirrings of fury in his gut. The fact that he'd gotten the badge and not her had been a point of contention in the household, and a large part of why his sister's holiday had been worse than any before. That he'd gotten the honor and done nothing to earn it in comparison annoyed him to no end. Although, he had to admit there was some wisdom in the choice; he liked Akira well enough, but the boy wasn't prefect material. And Hermolaos would've been an even worse choice. He, at least, had the poise to do the job, even as much as he loathed the idea of doing anything at all.

spaceSorin's jaw tightened, trying to think of anything to say that would comfort his sister. "I'm not sure you need to worry much about Finny," he tried. "She might make herself right at home and ignore him entirely." When he'd first met the girl, that thought would've irked him. Now, he was hoping he was right, since it would save his sister the discomfort of being alone with her betrothed.

spaceCeleste didn't look convinced, unfortunately. "I'm not sure she'd feel the need to trouble herself with it," she muttered. "I've been more trouble for her than I'm worth, I think." Sorin didn't have much of an argument for that, seeing as she was the reason the Ravenclaw was stuck with the prospect of marrying him, of all people. That was old news, of course, and he thought Finny was mostly over it, but their friendship had seemed a little strained since then. And Finny had been decidedly less docile in recent years. Seeming to sense his lack of an answer, she gave him a blatantly false smile. "Oh, I'll be fine," she said, tone lacking the levity she was clearly going for. "He'll hardly do anything to hurt me on the train. He'll just be annoying and pompous. I can deal with annoying and pompous."

spaceSorin sighed, but before he could reply, the boy in question approached them, earning a blank look from both twins in an effort to not give him the glare he warranted. "Sorin, good to see you," Hermolaos said cheerfully, eyes narrowed into slits that made Sorin's stomach squirm. As soon as the words were spoken, he lost any and all interest in even pretending to care that he was there, and turned his attention to Celeste. "Good that I've found you early," he told her, "We've got a lot to talk about. To the train, then?"

spaceCeleste's jaw tightened marginally, and she ducked her head. "Of course," she replied, voice soft. Sorin clenched his teeth, knowing there was nothing he could do to help right now that wouldn't make it worse. His sister gave him a small wave and a good-bye, then she was walking towards the train with his housemate. With their eyes off of him, his lip curled in distaste, and he shot a rude gesture at their backs before huffing and heading towards the train himself.

spaceRiddles knew she didn't look particularly excited on the outside as the made her way through the barrier and onto the platform, but she certainly felt it on the inside. Her stomach was fluttering and her heart was pounding, the only sign of her mirth the wide set of her eyes and the uncharacteristically large smile on her lips. She was careful to move out of the way of the entrance, standing off to the side with her mother so she could take it all in. "Do you see Chance? Or Izzy and Will and Jack?" she asked her mother, trying to get up on her tiptoes to see over the crowd.

spaceShe watched her mother assess the crowd, bouncing up lightly to try and expand her own field of vision, not that it helped. She wasn't quite Desi short, but she was definitely on the short side, which wasn't helping matters at all right now. After a moment, however, her mother pointed out a head of mint-green hair, apparently belonging to the newest addition to the Lovette household (one of them, anyway). As they approached, she noticed that her mother had been right to point out that he looked somewhat lost and nervous.

spaceSmiling, Riddles drew up next to the boy, offering her hand when she was close enough. "Hi, I'm Ridley Lovell. Everyone calls me Riddles," she introduced, waiting for him to shake her hand. "You're Jer and Gypsy's kid, right? Or, uh, they adopted you?" Of course, if they'd adopted him, he was certainly their kid. But the adoption was fairly recent, so he might not like being referred to as 'their kid.' "Uh, my mum knows them. And they're sort of family, I guess." In the sense that most of Riddles' family qualified as such, anyway. Her father's best friend's brother-in-law's sister and her husband wasn't exactly family in the most traditional definition, but they were never very good at being traditional, anyway.

Things aren't easy
So just believe me now
If you can keep it cool now
And never make a sound.

Shui was a bit lost sure he knew where train was but he really didnt know anyone. He ended up tripping a bit on someones shoe that he fell at but luckily not on a girl that seemed his age. "Oh sorry! I didn't hit you right?" Shui asked worried he did. He didnt want a first impression to be him slamming into some one.

(Not much but here have a Shui)

✪✪✪Will and Jack both winced at the information about the supposedly cool broken arm but seeing at the girl didn't have a cast or anything they had to assume that maybe it hadn't been as bad it'd really been. They did brighten though when Cian told them that Aeryn was magical since it'd been one of the things he'd worried about all last year. "That's great mate! I'm sure she's happier than you are." the Slytherin mentioned chuckling. They moved to put their own trunks on the train, thankful their dad had spelled them weightless before leaving with their mum, taking with them only their pets and some money on their person. "It was alright. We basically just bummed around with Londy or our other cousins for the most part." Jack answered detailing their summer. And of course giving a detailed experience to Cissy since apparently letters weren't nearly enough but that was alright. "Oh! I got a familiar for my birthday! Cian, Aeryn, meet Han." Will proudly pulled out his new hedgehog from his breast pocket to show off. He could hear Beast sniffing from his carrier but Jack made sure to keep him away from the smaller animal. They weren't best friends yet but the kitten had yet to stop trying to use him like a toy.

✿✫❀✮Elvira noticed the Great Dane coming towards her before she spotted Detch causing her to grin and giggle as Eoin automatically sat up to start snuffling towards his friend. She put him down to converse with the other dog turning her attention to his owner. "Yup. My uncle recommended it to help with Arithmancy, I guess as a way to train my brain around numbers and such. It's been surprisingly helpful." she explained watching him look over her book curiously and trying not to giggle again. He probably wouldn't appreciate that or think she was making fun of him or something. "I can give you a few pages so we can do them on the train if you'd like? But anyway, how was your summer? You weren't very...informative in your letters." she put delicately. Something had obviously happened but she hadn't wanted to pry in case he didn't want to talk about it. Not everyone was Desi and vocal about their feelings.

seventh year head girl │ muggleborn │ hufflepuff keeper

Liddie was still a bit in shock over having been made Head Girl. Sure, she'd been a prefect, but plenty of people were made prefects. Chrys had seemed like a shoe-in for the position; she was confident, well-liked, and respected the rules without being too stringent about them or intimidating lower years. Liddie really didn't know why they'd decided to give it to her, but clearly the Heads liked her more than she'd thought. Well, that was nice to know. Even her parents had been pleased... sort of. They knew was a Head Girl was, anyways, even if she was Head Girl of a magical school they still suspected was at least a little demonic. But this was her last year, and she was more sad than she was letting on. She'd miss Hogwarts so much. It had always been a home to her, a safe place, no matter what was happening in her life. And she knew she wouldn't be going back home after graduation.

It wasn't hard to make out Chrys, but Liddie didn't feel like dealing with Byuch anymore than usual, even if he seemed to have mellowed out a bit. He was no longer aggressively hostile, but Liddie wasn't sure if that was because he'd decided he'd been acting like a little p***k for the past six or so years, or because she suspected he had something approaching a crush on Chrys, and so he didn't want to alienate her or her friends. She still stood by 'Flower Petal' being less of a derogatory insult and more of an affectionate nickname. Either way, she wasn't going to get in the middle of that love-triangle. As she doubted Chrys felt the same way, if and when that blew up, considering that this was Byuch, it probably wasn't going to be pretty. So she was relieved to see Wallis, although he looked a little... stressed. "Well, I got Head Girl, so not too terrible," she smiled, ignoring the fact that she was probably a bit too delighted to see him.

You said, oh girl, it's a cold world
When you keep it all to yourself
I said, you can't hide on the inside
All the pain you've ever felt
Ransom my heart, but baby don't look back
'Cause we got nobody else



Nico was wandering when conversation found him. He was unsure he recognized her, though he was still getting use to how big his new family was so it very well could be his imagination. So many cousins.... She seemed to know about him. About his new mom and dad and such "Yea they're my new mom and dad. Well first dad too. Oh I'm Nico!" He said almost forgetting to give his name said happy he didn't have to try and start a conversation. He wasnt good at those. Scooter squeaked from inside the carrier. "Oh this is Scoot my new friend. He likes people. If we get a compartment we can let him out to pet him." Nico said poking a finger in to the carrier which got sniffed by the black pet rat. He was fed before they left so Scoot wouldn't bite.


You know that sometimes, it feels like
It's all moving way too fast
Use every alibi and words you deny
That love ain't meant to last
You can cry tough baby, it's all right
You can let me down easy, but not tonight

DJ was craning his neck trying to look for Rose. He didn't want to be super obvious about it or anything but he did kind of want to sit with her, if she'd let him. She probably wouldn't. Brenna was in Hufflepuff and she wasn't mean or anything but she was very... straightforward. Still, he just thought maybe, if she knew him a little better- Lea had kind of scolded him about it over the summer and basically said 'if you're always bugging her, no one is ever going to want to go out with you because they'll think you're a pushy little creep'. Which, okay, true, but like- it wasn't like he was stalking her! Also? He knew plenty of girls who basically followed around the boys they liked like lost puppies. "You're never ready for school," he told Zach with a snort. "I dunno why they even make you take the train. Doesn't your mum have friends in Hogsmeade or something?" Zach's mum had friends everywhere. She was like a vampire socialite or something. Why couldn't Lea be cool like that? All Lea wanted to do was brew potions, read, and play chess. Although DJ had shown him some of his favorite video games.

spaceRiddles wondered what Nico was short for when the boy introduced himself. She always introduced herself by her full name, then gave her nickname. Of course, her nickname seemed odd if you didn't know it was a nickname in the first place. She debated asking, then decided she'd save that for later. Or just wait for his name to be called at the sorting feast. Instead, she focused her attention on the boy's rat, smiling. "I'm sure he'll like that," she said, offering a hand to the rat for him to sniff through the bars. "I have a cat," she told Nico, moving so that her own carrier was visible where it perched on top of her things. "Her name is Irene. She's hairless. But, don't worry about her, she's not a very good mouser." Even now, Irene gave an almost bored sounding meow at the mention of her name. After a moment, her face appeared at the front of the carrier, eyes half-closed as they took in their new companion. She gave another lazy meow, then plopped herself back down, one paw crossed over the other with her head resting on them.

Leah Ruby League
Ravenclaw Fourth Year
Fourteen Years Old - Pureblood - Dancer

Younger Sister

Location : Kings Cross – Platform 9¾ (2041 - 2042)


Leah walked onto the platform after being dropped off by David. She was more then content going back to school. Although deep down she still had a rooted fear that one day no one would be there when she got back. So far nothing like that had gone on. It was something she desperately hoped wouldn’t happen anytime near and into the future. Course she had friends she missed and wouldn’t mind catching up with. One of which was busy talking to one of his housemates.

The thought of returning to school and a friend of hers wouldn’t be there was enough of a worry when she first came to be on the platform. Despite family being her main priority that didn’t mean friends weren’t equally as important. Leah found herself wandering over to Lucien and Su-Jin. Evidently, she managed to catch the last part of the conversation.

“What’s this about crushing on people?” Leah asked the two boys. She could say she had her share of interests. However, David would totally freak if he found out. Everyone knew he was a tad bit overprotective. It was bothersome at times. Especially being a teenager that just wanted to have some form of a life that involved dating like all teenaged girls did. Course she only had a couple girls she socialized with and the times she did was rare.

Jeremy internally sighed he was going to try again later, heck he may have to resort to a note and that was near embarrassing. But now he needed redeem the conversation. He knew she had to have noticed the awkward pause. "That be cool learning a new stitch. I've gotten much better at not dropping stitches." Jeremy said thankful for her not bringing the weird pause up. "My grandma got me a bag for the knitting stuff and enchanted to hold a lot. I think she raided the yarn store for me." Seeing as his parents didn’t have an interest in knitting, his grandma was more than happy and willing to help her grandson. They would likely find a compartment and make some socks or something. Perhaps Bludger won't try and nibble on the yarn.
