|| Myra & Khloe || "This is my older sister, Khloe," Myra explained with a smirk as the two girls pushed their way in. She plopped down next to Pippa with a confidential look on her face. "She'd much rather be sitting with her own friends, but because I won a bet," she waggled her eyebrows, "she has to sit with me and buy me anything I want off the treat cart!" she finished in delight. Khloe groaned, barely glancing at Pippa as she flopped down on the seat opposite the two Gryffindors. Khloe settled her gyrfalcon's cage in the corner - the bird fluttered her wings at the movement but soon settled down under her hood - and pulled own some headphones. "If you two don't mind keeping the chattering to a minimum, I'm going to try and catch up on some beauty sleep," she growled, tucking the earbuds into her ears and stretching out on the bench. || Alex || (Gonna jump in with Taya here) Alex pushed through the cars, peeping in through the glass. All the carriages seemed to be full. As the train picked up speed and students filtered out of the hallway and into their chosen carriages, Alex began to get a bit desperate to find a place to sit. At last he came to a car with only one other student and, as luck would have it, it was a girl from his own house! He scrambled to remember her name, but it was just out of his grasp! He was really bad at remembering names... Pushing the door open with an elbow, he leaned in and cleared his throat. "Hi... what's-your-face!" he said cheerfully. "Mind if I join you?"

|| Pippa ||
Pippa laughed at Khloe, a little too loudly. ''I guess that's the last time you set a bet with your younger sister!'' she chuckled enthusiastically, and then rolled her hazel-coloured eyes, turning to look at Myra as Khloe attempted to sleep.''Older siblings always think they know what's best, just because they're the eldest,'' she said, ''I have two older brothers who have both left school. They are a bit better now, because I don't see them as much, but when they were still at Hogwarts and I was younger they would always boss me around! Well, to be honest, they still do. A few days ago on our last day visiting Kasper's (the youngest of my brothers) house he told me to go and make him some coffee - as if I was no more than a house elf!''Pippa continued on for a good few minutes before she finally stopped talking. Once someone got her talking about something it was extremely hard to get her to stop talking, which was probably the reason nobody really did want to talk to her much - she'd made plenty of people late for lessons before. In her first year an older student had simply made a run for it because her friends wereleaving for Hogsmeade without her, due to Pippa. ''So,'' the third year said, turning to Myra once more, ''what is Khloe like normally? She seems like a typical big sister to me.''Pippa didn't see any point in addressing Khloe directly - she had made it pretty clear that she was being antisocial during this journey. || Taya ||Taya had been resting her face against the window, finally deciding to clip her fringe away from her forehead. Why hasn't she trimmed it before today? Her Mum had nagged her and nagged her but she'd simply refused. She'd needed to sort out her stuff for this school year, and finish the long Potions homework she'd been given over the summer and hadn't started on (her potions teacher had a thing about giving out homework over the summer, even if he wasn't teaching her the next school year). Oh, and of course she needed to spend some well-needed sister time with thirteen-year-old Kenzie before she set off for yet another year. It was such a shame that Kenzie hadn't been born a witch like her. When Taya had recieved her Hogwarts letter she'd been sure Kenzie would in three years time, too, but she never had. So instead Kenzie had had to be sent off to a dull muggle school, where she was now starting in year nine.
Deep in her thoughts, Taya hadn't noticed the boy step in. She recognised him - Alex. He was a year below her and a rather...bubbly...person. He seemed talkative, too, which was always a bad thing to be around Taya. ''Hey Alex,'' Taya said, ''my name is Taya.'' Talk little. That was her tactic of making people go away faster.

[[ Rosestar should I bring Taya or Logan over to Calliope so you have someone to rp with? ]] || Pippa ||
Pippa looked up at the mention of her name and almost burst with delight. No one had come to sit with her since the journey to Hogwarts when she had been entering her first year - on that first journey nobody knew each other and were far too eager to make friends. No one had stuck around with her once they were a few weeks into Hogwarts. People came and went, but she'd never really stuck to a particular friend group.
''Hey, Myra,'' Pippa exclaimed, ''hey... erm..I'm not sure I know your name?'' She looked questioningly at the other girl, who she knew was Myra's sister but was a Slytherin, so she'd never learnt her name or spoken to her.
(Sure, either would be fine with me!)

Myra listened to Pippa spew out information and gossip, at first attentive and interested, but as the girl continued to blather, she felt her eyes start to glaze over and her mind wandered off. On the other bench, Khloe groaned and rolled over to face the wall, turning her music up a few notches. Why does it seem like all of Myra's friends such chatterboxes?? she thought sourly. Myra was staring out the window at the scenery rushing past, only half-listening, when suddenly she felt Pippa's eyes on her and she jerked her mind back into its place. She scrambled to call up what the girl had just said - something about her sister? "...Um, yes! Khloe's kind of annoying sometimes, but she's great whenever I need advice or if I want to borrow clothes, makeup or money! Sisters can be a pain, but they have their upsides. What about you? Do you have any siblings?" She said this last bit tentatively, uncertain of how long Pippa would talk next.
Alex pushed through and settled Elvis's carrier in the corner of the bench opposite from Taya, tossing his duffel next to it. He plopped down next to the window, across from Taya, giving her a bright grin. "Taya! That's right - Sorry, I'm really bad with names. I'll try to remember yours, though," he winked. "So, are you excited to be going back to Hogwarts? You're in Year Six, right? What classes are you taking this term?" he chattered, oblivious to the girl's disinterest. As Alex spoke, he started to open up his ferret's cage, then hesitated. "Do you mind if I let Elvis out? He's a bit cooped up, but if you're uncomfortable I'm sure he'll manage in there."

|| Pippa ||
Pippa frowned in frustration. She'd already told Myra all this! But, she supposed, not many people really did listen to her...Myra just added to the long list of people who zoned out after a while. Well, she wouldn't let a simple thing like that bother her. ''I have two brothers,'' she repeated, acting as if she hadn't just described in detail about her two elder brothers, ''they've both left school now, though. One of them, Kasper, was a Ravenclaw and Isaac, the eldest of us all, was a Gryffindor like me. Kasper was always a magical creature freak. So now he works at a really cool place that help rehabilitate Griffins and Hippogriffs that have been injured or have been found in places inhabited by Muggles. They take them off to a safe place that is magically protected, kinda like the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts. As for Isaac...he's studying to become an auror, but it takes a lot of training!''|| Taya || Taya listened to what Alex was saying. She liked to listen to people - she was better at listening than talking herself, for sure. When he asked about the ferret, she almost laughed out loud. Why would she be afraid of a ferret? She loved animals, all animals! Ferrets were no problem for her. ''I'm comfortable with the ferret, but I don't know if Misty will be.'' She pointed towards her small cat, who was watching the ferret in the other Hufflepuff's cage intently. She looked ready to pounce, which concerned Taya. They didn't need bloodshed on this journey - it would be much better if Alex just left his pet inside the cage, but she didn't dare say that. || Logan || Logan was intent on his revision, scribbling down his revision notes for Defence Against The Dark Arts. They needed to revise Boggarts. Boggarts. That was what they leant two years ago, in third year! Did they really need to cover it again? Logan supposed they should - it could definitely come up in his OWL's - but he'd studied hard with Boggarts, even taking an extra half hour of class to master transforming the frightening Boggart into something ridiculous in his third year.
''Hey look, this compartment looks empty.'' A snicker. ''Move over, Holly.'' ''Come on Abigail.''
Logan sighed. What now? Last year some first years had disturbed his work, and now some others were clearly here to send him away. But they weren't first years, and this made things all the more intimidating. The huddle of Slytherin's looked about third or fourth year, so Logan didn't hesitate in gathering up his stuff and exiting, not wanting to get involved in an argument. He'd surely lose, anyway.
What now? He looked around. Every compartment had at least somebody in it by now...the train had been moving for a while. Well, he'd just have to find one with one or two people, so he wouldn't be too distracted. Walking along, the fifth year spotted a girl he recognised. Calliope. She was a Ravenclaw, which was a good thing, at least. She didn't seem the sort of person that would distrupt his studying. Logan opened the door and slid inside the compartment. ''Sorry,'' he muttered, ''some random kids stole my place. Do you mind if I sit here?''

Myra blushed as soon as the words came out of her mouth - now she recalled that Pippa had started out her long monologue by mentioning her brothers. "Oops, sorry! Put my foot in my mouth there. I remember you mentioned your brothers before," she apologized awkwardly. "So... a beast relocator and an auror, huh? Those jobs sound cool! What field do you want to go into?" she asked, scrambling to change the subject. "I want to be a professional Quidditch player!" she added excitedly.
Alex's eyes brightened with interest and he leaned across to look at Taya's cat more closely. "Oh, she's lovely! Quite a pretty girl," he said, carefully extending his hand to scratch Misty under the chin. "May I?" he asked Taya, motioning that he wanted to hold her cat.

|| Pippa ||
''Cool!'' Pippa exclaimed when Myra mentioned about aspiring to become a professional quidditch player. Pippa wasn't the best at quidditch - she wasn't terrible but she just found it hard to do all the twisty tricks that those other kids she admired could do. Pippa always loved to watch them swoop and dive for the snitch. In fact, she had been planning on practising super hard at flying this year so maybe she could audition for the gryffindor team next year. ''I don't know what I want to be really,'' she admitted, ''maybe something to do with teaching. Care of Magical Creatures has always sparked my interest. I've always had a thing about wandlore, too.''|| Taya || Taya would have frowned if Alex hadn't been sat right next to her. She didn't like it when others fussed her precious cat - she barely even let her own sister cuddle her. But Taya didn't object, drama wasn't her thing, and plus, she'd never really have the guts to object. She seemed to be almost programmed to agree to whatever the other person wanted, just to please them.
''Sure, go ahead,'' the Hufflepuff said, forcing a smile as she handed her pet over, ''just please be careful - she doesn't like to be squeezed, but she'll sit on your lap just fine if you want her to.''

( Man, this place is quiet! We need more members. )
Myra smiled. "Those both sound like fun! I like beasts and all, but the nonmagical kinds are a bit more comfortable for me. Some of the magical creatures can get pretty terrifying!" she confided. She pricked her ears as the sweets trolley came rolling down the corridor and jabbed Khloe with a toe. "Wake up, sis! Time to make good on that bet." Khloe sighed and sat up as the trolley came closer. "Fine. But only a few sweets!" she grunted, pulling out her coin purse. The trolley stopped at their carriage and the doors slid open. "Anything for the trip today, dears?" the lady crooned. Myra popped up. "Yes please! I'll take a box of all-flavors beans and a chocolate frog - my sister's paying," she winked. "Pippa, do you want anything?" she asked.
Alex winked at Taya. "Don't worry - animals usually behave nicely around me. I want to do something with beasts as a career," he said, sliding his arms around the cat, stroking her back and giving her a scratch at the base of her tail. "What're you aiming for?" he asked curiously.

[[ ikr?? we are like the only ones here i swear. i might change the title so it's like a plea for more members soon x'D i was gonna change it anyway because some of the font doesn't show up on mobile and some other mobile users might not know it's actually a Harry Potter roleplay lol ]] || Pippa ||
Pippa listened in interest, but forgot everything Myra had said once the trolley arrived. She smirked as Myra bugged her elder sister, Khloe. ''Oh no I'm fine,'' Pippa said, when Myra offered to buy her something (or for Khloe to buy her something), ''Dad gave me a pretty large amount of money to spend at Hogwarts this term. It's kind of an early birthday present I guess - I mean, my birthday is in November but it's my first year going to Hogsmeade.''She got up from where she was sitting and made her way over to the trolley. Hmm...what should she get? There was plenty of things to buy, and she had enough to buy a lot for once. The third-year wanted to save her money, but she could store the sweets to eat tonight in the common room. She got our her decorated owl purse and counted out the money, finally deciding to purchase four chocolate frogs, two packets of peppermint toads, three packets of fizzing whizzbees, three loads of jelly slugs and some exploding bonbons. ''Thanks,'' she said gratefully to the little witch, re-entering the compartment with her haul of sweets, which she stuffed into her bag, except for a packet of jelly slugs which she had decided to eat now. || Taya ||''Well, alright,'' Taya muttered when Alex stated that he knew about magical creatures and loved them. Well, at least he wouldn't annoy her angel, Misty, who was curled up fast asleep.
She smiled when Alex said that he wanted to enter the magical creature field after school, because that was exactly what she aspired to do, as well. ''Cool,'' the Hufflepuff exclaimed, ''I want to work with magical creatures, too. Is there any in particular you want to work with or not?''
This was a change for Taya. Usually, she let the other person do the talking - but when someone pressed on a subject she was fascinated by, she'd gladly talk, at least a little more than usual.
