Jean followed her with his luggage towards the train. She seems to be as someone who has experience in Hogwarts, well obviously she is. He may not look like it, but he is starting to like the train and it's vintage-looking design. Jean has a taste of certain things, especially arts and designs. ”Well, since I can call you Jean, you can call me Sera.” "Sera, gotcha," he nodded as he repeated. Good thing the named 'Sera' is catchy and easy to remember than Serafina, no offense.
"Well, shame as it is, I won’t be in the compartment long,” "Aye? Why?" he asked, just out of curiousity. He's really sure that she has a valid reason, also it's okay. ”I’ll have to roam the train and check if there are any misbehaving students. Bu—t I guess I’ll stay longer, to, you know, help you with any questions.” "Aye, it's okay. I understand", he nodded with understanding.
"Actually, it's just one question, I guess," he added, "Was there like something to do first once we are in Hogwarts? Or maybe basic things I need to know?", he asked awkwardly as if his question sounds stupid (not). He heard from students saying... Slit-something? Something with the word Griff? Huff-and-Puff? In his mind he wants to ask about those but just can't for some reason.

spacePersephone Tempest had hesitated at the barrier, eyes wide and unsure. After everything that had happened to her over the last year, finding out her father's secret, and everything that had happened because of it, had done a number on the child. She'd always been timid, of course, hard not to be in a home like hers (or, what had been hers. They'd been disowned, after all). But now, she was always nervous, afraid. The one time she'd gotten up the courage to try and get out of Belle's loft, her father had found her at Diagon Alley and torn into her. She'd wanted to be angry with him for yelling, but he'd started crying, had grabbed her and held her tight and it'd been impossible not to understand. He'd been completely terrified, she'd realized. He'd though her grandfather had found her, had taken her away. After what Lysandar had done to her Uncle Nikolas and Aunt Camille, to Ava... Persephone was afraid of the man. But, he'd been gone. No one had seen hide nor hair of him. She'd thought she'd be safe... but her father's fear had made her wonder. She'd not really cared to go out anymore after that. Seeing Antony so worried for her was all the proof she needed that she was, in fact, in danger. She'd withdrawn, had spent all her time in her room when they'd moved into the flat. She'd been safe there, safe with her father and Ava. But now... now she was going away. Her father wouldn't be there, he couldn't take care of her...
spaceAntony'd had to give her a light push through the barrier, to follow close behind, his hands on her shoulders. As soon as they were through, when the scarlet engine appeared, her hand had reached up, clutching his desperately. The former Slytherin looked down at his daughter, offering a sad sort of smile. "Everything's going to be okay, sweet," he told her, voice soft. "You'll be perfectly safe at Hogwarts. Nothing can get to you there." In truth, Antony was glad that his daughter would be going away to the school; leaving her alone during the day with Ava, while he had to work, was nerve-wracking. Should Lysandar find them, he could do anything to them while Antony was gone. Ava wouldn't be much protection against the man. But, away at school... she'd be safer there than she ever could be at home, he knew. It hurt to let her go, but she'd be safe, and that was what mattered. "Besides, you'll love it, Seph. You'll learn all sorts of new things, and make plenty of friends. And it'll be better. You'll see." Blue-green eyes stared up at her father, unsure. "What if... what if no one likes me. And what if I'm bad at magic, or the teachers hate me?" she asked, and he chuckled, squeezing her hand gently. "None of that will happen. You're sweet, and your classmates and the professors will love you, and you'll be brilliant. Maybe not at everything, but some things. And whatever you're not brilliant at, that's fine, because everyone can't be great at everything," he told her with a light shake of his head, and she sighed. He'd stay with her until the train left, she knew. He wouldn't risk leaving her alone right now, not when her grandfather would know she was here. He'd stay until she got on the train... and once she was on it, Lysandar couldn't get her. If only that was the only thing she was worried about.

Alexandria, the oldest of her siblings, walked through the barrier first. She was always first for everything when it came to her and her siblings. It wasn’t her fault they were so slow. After stepping onto the platform, the brunette didn’t wait for either Dalton or Rosabella to walk through as she had last year. Well, as she had for Dalton last year. Alex never waited for her sister. In fact, she didn’t even want to breathe the same air as her! The less they were in each other’s presence, the better. Dark eyes scanned the faces of students and parents, trying to spot one of her friends or housemates, or really anyone who was even remotely interesting to be around.
You won't know anything unless you try
Might end up falling, but you just might fly
You know it's all about what you believe
And maybe something extra up your sleeve

I won't be whining about what might've been
You know I'm not too big on giving in
I use whatever spell the law allows
That is of course, if I know how |

Jacob stepped awkwardly onto the platform, pushing his cart in front of him and eyeing the train with interest. His last year, and he suddenly wished he could go back to his first and take the train ride again with Night, Autumn, and Iris. Sighing, he ran his hand through his hair, at least glad that he took care of the fact that he had to choose his vice captain for quidditch last year, and well, this year he didn't have to worry about that. No, all he had to ruddy worry about was taking care of all the prefects and students in the school. He looked down at the pin on his shirt and wondered if he could possibly give it to someone else. How had he even gotten to be Head Boy? Rick hadn't, and aside from his freakout in his third year, hadn't been in trouble. Jacob ran a hand through his blond hair andsighed, resigned to the fact that he was stuck with this job until he graduated. Might as well, make the most of his last year, huh? Except... he still had to do NEWTs. Bloody hell!

Gearvin stepped onto the platform, sighing deeply as he realized that he hadn't been here since well, since his last year at the school, really. He'd always been too busy with work to escort his daughter to her first train ride, and every subsequent trip thereafter. He supposed it had more to do with Nicole and her children than anything, really. Shoving his hands into his pockets, he looked around the platform and watched the students wander around, getting ready to go on the train. He waited patiently for Nicole, Timothy, and Tanya to come through, knowing that they weren't far behind him.

✧Tanya went barreling through the barrier as usual only this time she was helping her little brother push his trolley while hers was being pushed by their mother. She had wanted to experience the thrill of first going through as a student with him and could barely keep her tears (fake and real) at bay; her baby was growing up! Her little Timothy was starting his first year and would soon be a Ravenclaw...well she supposed he would be a raven. She guessed he could be a Hufflepuff but she saw more raven qualities than puff. The teen watched as her little brother looked around the platform with a large grin and even larger eyes and could understand the excitement and awe. Even though he had been accompanying onto the platform for nearly three years it was a different sight and feel when you were the one actually about the board the train. Their mother finally caught up with the pair and gave her daughter a small smile and a quick hug with a kiss to her forehead. "As always, mind your manners, do your homework, don't eat too much sweets, please please please don't sneak out to Hogsmeade again," here the young Gryffindor looked slightly affronted at such an accusation. "Um, Mum? I'm a fourth year, I don't have to sneak out! Shouldn't you have told me that in second year perhaps?" Nicole gave her daughter a dry look and a raised eyebrow. "That was before I heard about a certain someone sneaking out on weekends not set aside for visits and getting all manner of prank items and chocolate." Tanya had the decency to look slightly guilty before giving a wry grin. "Would it help my case if I said it was that time of the month?" Timothy, who had of course been eavesdropping silently gagged and went back to organizing his luggage while looking for his knapsack for the ride along with checking that Aurora was ok in her new cage. The mother sighed and looked as though she was struggling not to laugh at her child since it would only encourage her madness. "No Tanya, it would not. And finally, promise to look after your brother." Now this time the teen actually was slightly offended and had her face reflect it. "Of course I'm going to! He's my baby brother, why wouldn't I?" she exclaimed ignoring the baby brother in question's squeaks of indignation before she saw him signing. "Could you please knock off the 'baby' stuff? I'm eleven not two!" The girl grinned mischievously before pinching both his cheeks in her hands and replying in a babyish coo. "Awww, does my little Cookie wanna look like a little grown man?" she only laughed as Timothy squirmed and tried to get away even looking to Mr. Gearvin for assistane and only let go when her mother flicked her in the back of the head causing her to gasp in surprise and the quick plip of pain. "Stop teasing your little brother or I'll keep your broom until your first match." Tanya gasped and one look into her mother's eyes she knew she would actually do it. Ouch. With a slight pout she went over to her own trolly near Mr. Gearvin while her mum gave Timothy probably the same speech and pick-me-up that she had received those three years ago. Had it already been three years? And gods, next year she'd have to do OWL's! Uggghhhh, she was getting olllllddddd. She looked over at the man who only looked slightly uncomfortable being on the crowded platform and grinned up at him. "Thanks for coming with us to the platform, Timothy really wanted you here to see him off." She knew she probably shouldn't have told him that, but it wasn't like her brother had even known she'd known he wanted it. She could see how attached he was to the older man, how much he saw him as his father figure since he was the only one in the family who didn't actually remember their birth father. She was happy too, even if she didn't come right out and saw it, that he was there to send them to school. It was nice, almost like a real family. ✧

spaceEcho pushed through the barrier first, only half-listening to his sister as she complained for the umpteenth time about being made prefect. One would think that she'd have gotten over it by now, but apparently not. He wasn't really in the mood to listen to it today. He would be seeing Kas for the first time since they'd broken up, after all, and while he'd spent his Summer moping about, he wasn't allowed to do that around the other boy. Kas had it hard enough as it was, what with the dying and having certain occasionally moronic friends beating him up because of said dying. He didn't need his ex-boyfriend/best friend (they were still best friends, right?) making him feel worse about the whole thing by being depressed. Echo was hoping that Tanya would make an appearance before the redhead, so that she could do whatever the hell it was that she did and perk him up before Kas arrived. Echo had no idea how she managed it, but she'd been the only person to actually make him smile all Summer. Gypsy had tried, his father had tried, even his mum had after a while. But, none of them had managed it. Except Tanya. He didn't know what it was about the girl, but she just... made him not sad. He didn't know how, but he was rather hoping she'd take advantage of her mutant super-power and get him in a better mood. It'd certainly make things easier.
spaceThe brunette spotted his dark-skinned friend just as his sister rolled through the barrier. He offered Gypsy a half-hearted wave and a good-bye before pushing his trolley over towards Tanya, noticing the unusually large crowd she was presently with. Echo recognized her mother and brother easily enough, though he didn't think he'd seen them in a very long while, but there was a man with them who he didn't recall ever seeing before. He approached with a puzzled expression, offering Tanya a small wave and a smile. "Erm, hey, Tanya. Miss Cherri. Timothy. Um... hope you all had a nice Summer?" He shifted a bit nervously, turning to the older man. He was obviously with the Cherri's, but Echo had absolutely no idea who he was... then he remembered Tanya mentioning her mum having a boyfriend, and figured this must be him. He didn't quite know why that made him so nervous, though, except that Tanya insisted that the man was her future step-father and Echo was her friend. He extended his hand to the man. "Ah, I'm Echo Lovette. Tanya's friend," he said, wondering why exactly the man's approval seemed so damn important. After all, Nicole liked him well enough. He really doubted the boyfriend would change her mind. And anyway, as much as Tanya liked the guy, Echo liked to think that she liked being friends with him enough to continue to do so in spite of disapproval. She wasn't exactly known for behaving and following rules, after all.

spaceGypsy wsa right behind her brother, not even pausing in her rant as she watched him step through the barrier, because hey, he wasn't listening anyway, right? She rolled her eyes a bit as, no sooner had she made it through the barrier, he was ditching her for one of his friends. She watched him head over to Tanya's group, eyeing the older man with them, curious. Who the hell was that guy? Did Nicole have a boyfriend? Ooooh, that was hilarious. What if the guy thought that Echo and Tanya were... she almost wanted to follow the kid and spy. But, the guy looked sort of... not stuck-up per say, but... well, stiff. Her being his sister was probably not going to win the kid any brownie points wih that guy. So, the Ravenclaw flounced off in the other direction instead, on the lookout for Jer or the twins, or anyone else she thought she could pester. She thought about going to bother Jacob, but they only knew each other because of the Chimera stuff, and she tended to think of herself as an acquired taste. No need to bug the hell out of the guy. Ah, well. One of her friends would be around eventually. Until then, she could people watch.

5 feet 7.5 inches tall Wearing: My UniformAt: Platform 9 3/4 Thinking: The quieter this year is the better.
 Veronica Kiss had worn her uniform-minus her robes to the platform and without the prefect badge she had gotten over the summer with her school's supply list. She wasn't entirely surprised to get prefect-because she didn't actually cause any major trouble since her second year. Though, arguably she had a few of her own issues-Elli had never been particularly fond of her and she was overly outspoken by some accounts and last year at the quidditch game when a fist fight broke out she didn't actually come out looking as well as she could. She had flat out threatened Dmitri with a wand-though she was just as ready to hex Crash at that point if she had to- and she hadn't really listened to a Hufflepuff Prefect-Uriel was it? She had rolled her eyes and merely lowered her wand a few inches when he had asked her to put it away. Then again he had shown her a lot more favoritism out of anyone in that situation.
She let out a sigh as she entered onto Platform 9 3/4 from through the barrier. When she let out a sigh her dad's -well her- owl Bessie let out a small noise. She glanced at Bessie for a moment and shook her head as she passed her trunk and owl over to the man taking them. It was really getting to be the same thing year after year. Well, except she didn't have her father around to lecture her anymore.
 Stretching she walked through the crowd, and pulled out the prefect badge. Looking at it briefly she frowned and realized, she also was responsible for being a leader of sorts and at least make sure the first years didn't get lost. She could only hope this year had a decent group of prefects, at least over in Hufflepuff she was fairly confident Victor got it. Then again, if Victor dared to bring up the issue she had mentioned in the tea shop over the summer she was fairly confident she'd find a way to keep his mouth shut for a week. Maybe he'd be lucky and she'd be lucky and he would run into Del, she decided as she pinned the prefect badge on her vest.

______________________________________________________
Cara Jane League had decided to go to Platform 9 3/4 with her two oldest children but end up dropping them off and leaving even before stepping foot on the platform. David was fairly sure she just was avoiding the possibility of running into either, if not both of her parents. The pregnancy was beginning to be notable enough. Something Cathy was delighted about and begging to help pick out names for their future sibling since she had come home during the last two weeks of the summer. David wasn't that particular about the name, and could only hope to save him headaches that the kid wasn't a squib like his father wanted. Then again, if the kid was, it wasn't like Cathy had ever done any magic that was notable enough that they had any reason to think she wasn't a squib. Even Cathy hadn't run into anything particularly not explainable when she had done magic-almost everything could have been dismissed as pure luck.
When the stepped over he noted Cathy was buzzing with energy and he spent a moment looking for Leo and her sisters-or at least Mira- she was attending Hogwarts this year. That was when he heard a voice behind him quip happily, "David. Cathaline. It is so good to see you two" and remembered there was a more concerning first year to worry about.
He turned to see the red-haired girl and Cathy smiled politely and nodded to Wendy Chaisty before spotting Robert Avery and Jane Avery, Jane carrying one of the newest-and David was fairly sure better-brooms on the market. It wasn't like it would be Wendy's, since she was a first year, so David spent a moment trying to figure out why his grandmother had a broom with her in the first place. "Wendy, I haven't seen you in over a week, I was beginning to miss you," Cathy said with a smile and the slightest hint of sarcasm, before she turned to her grandparents and quickly hugged Jane. "Grandmama, you brought my broom," She said brightly.
"Of course," Jane answered as Robert raised a brow first at David and then scanned the crowd briefly.
David stared at Cathy happily hugging the broom to her and David narrowed his eyes at his sister and said, "Why do you need a broom?"
"You got an owl when you first went to Hogwarts," Cathy said with an innocent smile, "And since I already had MeiMei, my pet, Grandmama and Grandpa let me get a broom instead. Besides I'm taking Advance Flying this year and we can use our own brooms."
David massaged his head, "Why are you taking-"
"For fun," She said. "Besides it isn't like playing quidditch where the environment is less controlled and you'd have to worry about bludgers being hit at you or what not. It's for flying, no big deal. Stop worrying so much." Chuckling she quickly hugged her grandfather as well and thanked both of her grandparents.
Meanwhile Wendy was looking fairly skeptically at the blonde girl as she stepped back with her happy smile. David sighed figuring if it was just for merely flying, David couldn't really complain that much. It was a tool for a class-though he felt it was a fairly stupid elective- but maybe it was just something to keep his sister busy and entertained. "Well, if that is all I'm leaving," David said. "Cathy you'll be catching up with your own friends I assume?"
Cathy nodded and Wendy glanced between the two and said, "I'll go with you, David. I didn't get to talk to you much over the-"
"Yeah, I make a point of avoiding people during the school year," David answered. "You and Cathy are getting along well and she has a bigger social network. Why don't you just go with her or find other first years to chat with?"
Wendy took a breath and Cathy shot a glare quickly at David and said a bit more cheerfully, "Why don't we just all stick together for now? We're family after all. And, seriously, David, you're skilled enough to avoid people if you want once you are at Hogwarts. I mean even Jean said that you aren't around all that much and you two are in the same house."
"Who the Hell is Jean? Wait is he that red-haired kid in your year?" David muttered. "Yeah, he's annoying."
Cathy rolled her eyes before saying goodbye to her grandparents with Wendy and David just giving them both a minimal nod at best. Once they were gone he headed over to a bench with a book in hand planning to read until the train headed out and could only hope both girls decided not to sit with him.

Seymour Benjamin Ryans
[UNSORTED]
Wand: Curupay Wood with a Pixie Wing Core, Pliable and Bent
Blood: three-quarters magical
Unsorted 1st Year
----------------------------------------------------------- 
Seymour had to say at least being on Platform 9 3/4 waiting for the train was exciting. There were so many people. Students saying goodbye to family. Students catching up with friends. Parents and family catching up with each other. Seymour wasn't entirely surprised both of his parents had decided to come and they kept changing from English, to Spanish, to an occasional comment between the two in Guarani. Both his parents seemed to be more on edge than usual. Seymour wasn't sure why. He doubted it had to do with him heading off to Hogwarts-though he did remember his mother giving him a fifteen minute lecture on the important of paying attention in class and that she would kill him if she found out he got a detention or was causing any trouble. It wasn't like his Mum would kill him but he was pretty sure his Mum wouldn't mind making him spend half of the next summer just dusting the shop or something which was pointless and boring. He looked around for his friend he met at the shop, Timothy and had just spotted him with a rather stiff gentleman and an older girl who looked close enough like him to be related to him and a woman. Maybe that was his family and the stiff looking older gentleman was his mother's boyfriend that Timothy mentioned. He considered going over to visit, even though some upperclassman seemed to have already done so to meet up with who was probably Timothy's older sister, or he was considering it when he heard a few curses under the breath of his father.
Seymour turned to hear his Dad say something about some guy being here. Meanwhile, his mother narrowed her eyes to glance at a really old couple who was talking with some annoyed looking brunette, a chipper blonde girl, and some overly formal redheaded girl. "Well, it was likely they were going to be here," Casey sighed. "I'm fairly sure your friend told us your neice was attending this year."
"Mi amigo?" Edwin let out a disbelieving laugh. "Marido de tu amigo, you mean? Y ella es la hija de su hermano."
"Hmm?" She said, with a raised brow. "He's not related to me anymore. At least it is just the head. He acts with a bit more sense." She muttered something in Guarani and Seymour was fairly sure there was the word dead in it, but Seymour didn't know enough to keep up with the quick comment his Mum said.
Edwin sighed and looked down at Seymour and said, "I'm going to give you the same advice Dad gave me when I went to Hogwarts: Stay out of trouble, do your homework, and don't date Slytherins."
Seymour was rolling his eyes at his dad when the last comment caught him off guard and his mum began laughing and said, "Yeah, and you didn't listen to any of that-well except the homework one, I think. You only dated Slytherins. You married one."
"Well most of the trouble I did get into was the fault of Slytherins," Edwin answered.
"I was a model student mind you," Casey said with a shrug. "Don't put me in that mix."
Seymour sighed as his parents jokingly bickered-half wondering what the negative feelings his parents had towards Slytherins. His mother was one after all and despite the fact she was strict and had a bit temper he couldn't say anything more negative about her than anyone else. Slytherins couldn't be all that bad-then again his parents did seem to be half joking at this point, "Mum. Dad. Do I need to stick around or not? Because I want to go see if I can catch up with my friend..."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxTheo Gibbs
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxGryffindor Fourth Year
"Some are born great, some achieve greatness..."
Theo walked onto the platform...a newfound...almost arrogant confidence about him. He was ready for this year to start and despite how much he wanted to leave the previous year, he was quite fine with working extremely hard to achieve his dream of being a dueler...because just like he did for football...he was a natural at it. He loved it. There was nothing better to him than out-skilling an opponent in battle. And now that he adopted a new dream, he was starting to revert to his original...less cynical self.
He made his way around, dodging through the platforms, and through the crowd, passing many people on the way. He passed his ex...which he now didn't even know if he could even consider an ex. He was twelve and even by the age of fourteen, he realized that wasn't love, but rather just the idea of falling in love. And the worse thing was: when did he become a romantic? He wasn't like that: so why let that memory hurt him anymore. Along the way he also passed the Lovette kids, Tanya, Drage, and a few others, but those were kids that he did not talk to at all; so he really didn't even share a passing glance with them.
He did find someone whom he wanted to talk to. A girl that he missed most of all of everyone, and that was Ronna. He instantly found himself walking towards the girl, a small smile on his face. He wouldn't go another year without talking to the girl. He wouldn't let that happen again. He did wonder however what happened to her during the fight with Crash and Dmitri. She seemed pretty adamant the whole time and looked as if she was ready to kill both of them. He wondered if she was ever reprimanded for it.
"Look at you...a prefect. Troublemakers beware," he said to her, laughing a bit. It was nice to know a prefect, but he wasn't really sure if she would talk to him or not. "Hello Ronna." His things were starting to get heavy but the man in him told him to move along.
"And some have greatness thrust upon them"
