Cathy/Catie/Cate ❤ ❤ Fluent in: English, Latin, French, Mandarin Chinese ❤ ❤ Studying: German and Ancient Runes ❤ ❤Looking like the Adorable Badger I am! ❤ Who am I? ❤ How about my brother? ❤ ❤
Cathy couldn't understand how Leah could still recognize her big brother and seemed to even make up a nickname for the guy. "Viddy"? Cathy needed to remember that sometime for David. It was kind of cute. Meanwhile Leah had managed to do her first complete sentence in regard to Cathy, the mouthful of "Cat is spoiled." Cathy was pretty sure it was the pot calling the kettle black from that one year old. And their poor Dad and Mum had the hardest time finding nannies no thanks to the fact apparently little Leah was some magical prodigy or some nonsense. Lights flickering on randomly. Toys moving. Colors of things changing. It was frustrating. Also since their Dad wasn't exactly the fondest of magic anyways.
Cathy had shook her head and cleared the negative thoughts as she got on the train, popping her head in various carriages hoping to see one of her closer friends. She figured Elijah might be with Dani, and it depended on Celaena if she'd be with her boyfriend-the older blue haired one, one of the triplets-the one in her house and was their teams seeker-if the guy had gotten prefect or not. Cathy figured that he had a good chance. He was quiet and well behaved, especially for a Gryffindor. That house was definitely one that needed someone more levelheaded in charge-though Ravenclaw chose Gypsy and her brother as prefects, so maybe levelheaded wasn't a necessary factor. In the end, she figured she might be able to catch up with Jean but as she poked her head into a carriage she noticed her albino friend sitting in a compartment with his toad.
Cathy smiling largely, still holding her cat MeiMei, came in, set the cat on the bench and said greeting him first casually in German before moving back to English, "Hallo! The others not here yet? How was your summer? Do anything exciting?"

Dmitri walked onto the train behind Maisie but quickly overtook her considering his legs were quite longer than hers. The two walked around the train in silence trying to find a compartment; it seemed they weren't going to be able to find a lone compartment with no one else in it, which certainly meant they were going to have to deal with other people, something neither was very skilled at. Dmitri let out a small sigh as they began walking back the way they came, not really even seeing those their age. Granted, Maisie and Dmitri never really got to know more that one or two people last year, so it was particularly hard to remember faces but...still, it was difficult. After a while, Dmitri had almost settled on sitting with upperclassmen -- it wouldn't be terrible, would it? They weren't going to lynch them... -- until Dmitri finally found a face he recognized, Dakota. It seemed that he was sitting with a girl who was no doubt in their year, Dmitri recognized the face, however he couldn't quite think of the name of the brunette sitting beside his fellow Ravenclaw. He knocked gently on the door as he opened it and poked his head in. "Hey, uh, would Maisie and I be able to sit in here? Most of the other compartments are pretty full..." He asked, a bit of an awkward edge in his voice. As he looked between the two, hoping they'd say yes, Dmitri tried his hardest to remember just who this girl was.

Maisie tried her best to keep her place in front of her brother, but found it rather difficult considering she had much shorter legs. Over the summer, he'd hit a small growth spurt and was quite a bit taller than her -- not that much, but still taller nonetheless. She never said anything, though, after all she didn't want him to know she was a little ticked. It was a stupid thing to be upset about, but spending summer around him all year made her feel so tiny. Either way, she kept up with a little more effort than usually needed as they roamed the corridor looking for a compartment. Maisie was rather disappointed and irritated that they couldn't find an empty compartment. We shouldn't have spend so much time dawdling... She thought to herself, surprised when her brother stopped abruptly at a compartment door. She just about ran into him when he stopped, but quickly stopped herself and listened as he asked if they could join whoever occupied the compartment. Maisie walked over beside her brother and peered in the compartment, recognizing the students occupying it to be Prudence and Dakota, a Gryffindor and Ravenclaw in their year. She was honestly surprised that she remembered them, then again she spent all her time alone either doing homework or studying the other students... She glanced from her brother, then back to the other two students, curious.

Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day!

It's beautiful and so are you!
Dear Prudence, open up your eyes.
Dear Prudence, see the sunny skies.

Pru nodded. "Yeah, we're house mates." Before she had the chance to say much else the twins she was sure were known as the Reeds were at the door. For the life of her she couldn't remember their names but knew that their mum was the DADA professor and that they were in different houses from one another. She assumed both were fairly quiet and kept to themselves, since she couldn't remember speaking to either of them before. "I don't mind at all," she said with a shrug in reply to the Reed boy, looking to Kota, who she doubted would protest. "Train's packed this year. I was runnin' late myself."
The wind is low, the birds will sing...
That you are part of everything!
Dear Prudence, let me see you smile.
Dear Prudence, like a little child.
The clouds will be a daisy chain,
So let me see you smile again. |

The sound of the cat letting everyone in the car know how uncomfortable she was, drew Dani’s attentions away from watching the sights as her grandfather drove the Rolls Royce through the streets of London. “Sorry, Sassy,” she told her feline companion, “you know I can’t let you out. You’ll get hair all over the backseat.” As usual, the cat was already ensconced in her soft-sided cat carrier, which resembled an oversized purse more than anything else. Rather than being mollified, the long-haired Persian yowled even louder, hoping to be released from her imprisonment.
Dani had the window rolled down and was enjoying the cool breeze, as her grandfather drove the antique Silver Shadow. As was now customary for her, the family made an event of taking her to King’s Crossing Station, so she would meet the Hogwarts Express which would take her to school for another year. While her grandfather drove, her grandmother rode shotgun beside him, while Dani and her aunt rode in the back, along with Sassafras, her cat. They actual arrived in London the night before, and stayed at a nice hotel overnight. This morning, the family had a leisurely breakfast, before starting the drive to the train station.
If Dani had her druthers she would have met the train dressed in jeans and a Tee shirt, which was almost qualified as a uniform for her during the summer months. Instead, she was wearing a long, cream-coloured pleated skirt with a matching long-sleeved blouse with lace at the cuffs and collar, and three-inch high-heeled shoes. A string of pearls, a gift from her grandfather for her birthday, graced her neck, along with a matched pair of earrings. While even she had to admit she looked nice, Dani was very ready to shed the get-up for her school clothes.
It had been an interesting summer, all things considered, for her. Her grandparents threw the annual Birthday Tea for her, and Dani invited Cathy, the entire Gryffindor Quidditch team (including their outgoing captain), and Eli. It was her hope Veronica and Tanya could make good on the promise to take her on an epic shopping trip to update her wardrobe. She was also curious how her grandparents would react to Eli when they met him, as they knew he took her to the Yule Ball last winter.
Another thing Dani did was deal with a matter which bothered her for the last few years; a matter was unexpectedly thrust to the fore during Professor Reed’s DADA class. It was the infamous ‘Boggart class’; where one was confronted by a creature capable of manifesting one’s fears as a very real presence. She’d never expected hers to take the form of a wheelchair-bound version of her younger brother.
She injured David not long before leaving for school, after catching him stealing CDs from her collection. It wasn’t something she intended to happen, her magic manifested in a particularly violent fashion, and David was tossed into a wall hard enough to crack the plaster. When last she saw him, he was being carried out of the house by her father to be taken to the hospital. Shortly afterward, Dani was disowned by her parents, and she never got a straight answer as to how David was doing, other than he would scream when her name was even mentioned in his presence.
Her first encounter with her boggart didn’t go well; in fact the professor had to dismiss it for her. When the boggart turned into Eli’s worst fear, the infamous Slenderman, Dani found the courage to drive it off for him when he ran from it and out of the classroom. After the class, Dani went to the professor’s office, and explained her problem to Professor Reed, stating how ‘we get the boggart we deserve’, before facing her boggart once more. Dani doubted anybody else faced a boggart three times, but she did, because she knew she needed to face her fear: the fear she would really hurt somebody whom didn’t deserve it with her magic. David might have been a sneaky little git, but that wasn’t enough to earn him a lifetime in a wheelchair.
Dani flew her broomstick one night, after dark, over to what was once her home, so she could see for herself how her brother fared since her abrupt departure from the family. Aunt Bella wasn’t happy with her actions, as risked being seen by Muggles, but she understood why Dani felt the desperate need to learn the truth, and put her fear to rest.
Another project Dani undertook involved Quidditch. She tried to get the team together over the summer to train, especially since they’d had such a dismal season last year. Dani also decided to train up for a position other than Chaser. With so many upperclassmen at the position she figured there was little point in competing with them. Instead, she chose to train herself up as a Keeper and Beater instead. Using what Veronica told her previously, Dani found a place where she could practice her batting skills; she also got involved in any pickup soccer match she could get into some could play goalie. She’d completely forgotten how much she truly enjoyed hitting things.
She glad her grandparents were pleased with her performance in school, were particularly happy with her efforts in the Healing and Wizard Law classes. They were a little unsure with her plan to work for the Ministry in Sports Medicine and Law, but they were supportive at least.
As the family walked through the massive train station, her grandfather promised to collect her at the station for Christmas holiday, assuming as he added with a wink and a smile, some young man didn’t invite her to a dance. He helped her with the trunk, while Dani slugged along with the cat carrier, and its twenty pound passenger, whom cried and complained about being stuck inside of it. Her grandmother fussed over her, making sure her collar was straight, and her braid was positioned where it ought to be.
When she stepped through the portal, Dani saw the familiar candy-apple red steam engine and cars of the Hogwarts Express. As was usual there was a swirling mass of students and their families on the platform. She knew it wouldn’t be long before she would see her friends once more, and her fourth year at Hogwarts would start. Dani hugged and kissed her grandparents and her aunt, and said good-bye to them before heading toward the train. Her family waved to her as she boarded the train.
Once she was aboard, Dani started looking through the compartments, figuring she would find friends to spend the trip with.

♯♩♪♫♬♭♮Rory snorted at Theo's obvious sarcasm and was about to reply when the call for last minute boarding interrupted her. "Migh' as well continue this on the train before we miss it, eh?" she told him with a laugh before running off with her trolly. She was sure the older boy could and would keep up with her since, excluding Gypsy of course, she was one of the most colorful people around. Speaking of the older seventh year, she would need to corner her some time in the year to give her her graduation present. It wasn't much, more of a "thanks for showing me the ropes" kind of gift, hopefully she would like it. She climbed through the mess of people not shy to throw out her sharp elbows if she felt people got to grabby and ended up snagging a pretty decent compartment in the middle of the train. She waved Theo inside since she was pretty sure he wasn't about to go and sit with anyone else. But even if he did she wouldn't get upset, she'd just wait for Julius and Dori to get out their prefect meeting which still completely boggled her mind that both of them managed to snag prefect. Well, alright Jules she could understand but Dori? Maybe the had run out of applications because she know she sure as hell didn't throw her hat into the ring. Looking out for the kiddies and doing patrols? No thank you! Rory struggled to put her trunk on one of the rafters but when she did she made a short triumphant sound and flopped into a seat only moving to let Dragon out his cage because she knew how ornery her familiar got when cooped up for too long. "So ta answer your questions in order: I've been great, my Da had a tour this pas' summer so I was wit' him the entire summer on th' road an' I even got ta be his openin' act which was pretty awesome. As fer the OWLs, no I ain' even close ta bein' ready. I mean, I'm pretty confidan' in a couple classes but since I'm pretty sure my job of choice isn' gonna 'ave anythin' ta do with magic I figure it doesn' really matter if I do too bad in th' subjects I'm terrible in. Although I do wanna pass so I'm contradictin' myself jus' a bit." she explained with a short laugh. "But enough about me, wha' about you? How was yer summer an' all tha'?" Rory asked getting comfortable for the long ride.♯♩♪♫♬♭♮
✲Wearing~ Casual
✲Where am I?~Hogwarts Express

spaceEcho barely registered the fact that someone had joined him in the compartment at first. It took him a long moment to realize that someone was speaking to him, mostly due to how engrossed he was in his book. But, he did finally notice, and his mind was thankfully able to trace back the words he'd missed. The Ravenclaw shrugged at Dave, arching a brow at the fair-haired boy. "Sure?" he replied after a pause, not quite believing that the Gryffindor was apparently going to join him. The guy didn't exactly like anyway, except Elsie, that is. But, he'd said everywhere else was full, so Echo guessed that made sense. He probably figured that he'd be better off with Echo than anyone else, and that Elsie and Tanya would join them once everything was said and done with the prefects. The brunette frowned lightly. "Speaking of the girls... you sure you don't want to find somewhere else? Not that I mind, but, pretty sure Tanya's going to make a nuisance of herself when she does finally show," he told the other boy. Echo had absolutely no delusions about what his girlfriend was like. He loved her, but... she could be obnoxious. Not Gypsy-level obnoxious, but certainly enough to get on a person's nerves. Actually, he was pretty sure that dealing with his sister over the years had pretty much prepared him for Tanya. Damn, now he owed the metamorphmagus for something else, he thought with some amusement, deciding to add that to the list, and then chuck the list into a fire. Gypsy took credit for plenty of things, he didn't need to go and inflate her ego more... that was Jer's job. His was to deflate it.
spaceStill, the sixth year's point stood; Tanya hardly shut up about Elsie and Dave and their little... whatever it was. Echo didn't pay much attention. Not because he didn't care, he just wasn't nosy. He figured that if something important were going on, Elsie would tell him. Maybe before she told much of anyone else, given that he was about the only person in their circle who could keep their damn mouth shut. Which was exactly the problem; if Tanya was in a train car with both Dave and Elsie, Echo wouldn't put it past her to start needling the two of them about their relationship. She was convinced that it was A Sure Thing, and was getting antsy waiting for the two of them to get around to it. He was starting to notice a trend, actually. Him and Tanya, Jer and Gypsy, Elsie and Dave... Sheesh. They were all sort of... not oblivious per say (in spite of common complaints, Gypsy had never really been all that oblivious to Jer liking her, she'd just been in denial). More like... slow on the uptake. Which, Elsie and Dave were still in the 'just friends' stage, and he was pretty sure that no amount of harassment from Tanya was going to change that. Try telling that to her, though. He'd probably have an easier time talking his sister into spending a day studying in the library.

═════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
spaceThe redhead smiled and shrugged at Addie's question of whether or not they knew one another. 'Know' could possibly imply that they went way back or something ridiculous like that, which obviously they didn't. "Met him at Diagon Alley over the Summer... at the bookstore." Her expression grew annoyed and she shuddered lightly. Ugh, books. Pass. She much preferred to get down and dirty than to read. Or at least to listen to someone tell a story. There were all sorts of inflections you got from a person's voice that were absent when you read. She'd never really got the draw of staring at a book for hours on end... much to her Mum's annoyance.
spaceIvy snorted at Joel when he berated her for taking his ball. Lose it? She was just tossing it up and down a couple times, it wasn't like she was kicking it down the corridor. Although... nah. Apparently he was going to be all moody about it. Which, she guessed she understood, if it was sentimental or whatever, but he didn't have to be such a pill. She snickered faintly at his request they not talk about his cousin. "Fine, fine," she said, handing him the ball back and blowing a raspberry at the boy.
spaceThe redhead glared at him when he asked if they were nerds, partially a knee-jerk reaction because she was definitely not a nerd, and partially because, hey, what if one of them were? Not like she wanted to go out of her way to befriend anyone who fit the description, but there were worse things to be. "Better a nerd than a prat," she said pointedly. Before she could say much of anything else, though, Snowflake was going on, the pale girl's words making her snort in amusement. Oh, so the quiet kitty had claws, then? Good to know. And self defense? The mention of such perked the first year's attention, drawing an interested whistle from the girl. "I do karate," she declared, expression a bit smug. She was good, too. She'd been able to take down a boy that was almost twice her size once. Though, her mum had wondered since her magic had been discovered if maybe it hadn't been entirely through natural means... whatever. Ivy was still going to call it a win. As for sports... eh, she'd pass. On playing, at least. Not that she didn't like sports, she was just more of a sit-and-watch sort of person. At least when it came to the traditional interpretation of the word. She wasn't big on much more than a pick-up game with friends. And even then... meh. But, if any of them wanted to do some sort of sport-thing, maybe play that weird game her mum had mentioned a couple times, she'd be happy to cheer them on or help them practice. Mostly, though, she just wanted to get on a broom. Flying sounded awesome.

 ☄ Looking: Like Trouble ☄ At: Platform 9 3/4 and the Train ☄ With: ...☄ And there he is.>

Benjamin stuck out his tongue at his friend when he signed that he and la Princesa had yet to kiss and that he should stop asking and then went on to tell him to stop photoshopping pictures and was thankful computers didn't work around magic. Laughing, Benjamin managed to sign, laughing the whole time, 'I'll stop asking when you two actually start kissing.'
Between laughs he began to dig in his bag and said, "Anyways, don't worry, I was busy this summer. I was preparing this year ahead of time. I've got some ones I'm sure you sister and that nerdy guy she is snogging would do a fair deal for me not to send to Mr. Gearvin. Some are even-" He paused when Mira entered the cabin and asked what they were talking about.
Benjamin pulled out a picture from his bag that he had the image turned away from the two and laid it face down on his lap and picked up the hair clip again, "I didn't really miss you, Princesa, but whatever, Timmy was beginning to cry over your absence though. Anyways we weren't discussing much. A bit about one of my fans who stalked me to where I live this summer and a bit about art. You want to see some of it, Princesa? I also have some of the photos I took of you and Timmy at the Yule Ball developed with me."
