"No pressure, though."
His own gaze flicked to the window and he shifted his weight until he was leaning against the window, swinging his legs up onto the seat and loosening his tie. Pax considered what else he could say, so used to the gentle murmur of voices in compartments that silence actually unnerved him. It was nice, but it wasn't familiar to him - he was used to always having to interact, and so not having to made life a little easier, he supposed. It was his own option.
"Since you're a fifth year," he began absently, fingers toying at the sleeves of his robes, "if you ever need help on some homework or something, I'm usually around the common room in the evenings, if I'm not on the Quidditch pitch."

Amhra cast him a glance, nodding. "Thanks, I'll keep that in mind." He didn't expect he would really need much help though; he had always done reasonably well in school, and he was proficient as a wizard. The only reasons he had been placed in fifth year instead of sixth was because he had been home-schooled in magic, he lacked a few of the specific class requirements needed to progress to sixth year, and he hadn't taken the O.W.L.s. Still, it was nice of Pax to offer, though Amhra assumed it was just a courtesy with him being a new student who was, presumably, behind.
Amhra turned his attention back to the landscape outside, his thoughts wandering. Pax seemed nice enough, nothing like what he had heard about Slytherin House both before and after he had been sorted into it. He'd heard all kinds of terrible things about the House- many claimed that dark witches and wizards came only from Slytherin (though Amhra knew enough of history to know this wasn't at all true), that all Slytherins were ruthless, cold, and ambitious, and that they clashed with all of the other houses due to their bad attitude. As he had read more about the house, rather disconcerted and concerned that this would cause conflict at the new school, it seemed to him that this was far from the truth; Slytherin's reputation probably came from a few high-profile dark wizards, such as Voldemort, and their conflict with the other houses was more likely due to the conflict they faced rather than what they initiated. He could imagine that it would quickly become easier to be passively hostile towards the houses when simply being called "ambitious" marked you as evil. Pax seemed to fit in with that theory, as far as Amhra could tell; he seemed nice enough. Still, that could be because Amhra was also a Slytherin, and the white-haired boy couldn't entirely allay his fears that Slytherin House was in fact its stereotypes.

Pax nodded slightly and tilted his head back slightly, watching the scenery go past. His fingers drummed absently over his thigh, tapping to something that could've been an absent beat, something in his head. He listened to the faint murmur beyond the compartment, listened to the sound of the train over the tracks. All he could do was listen, because he wasn't so sure on what he wanted to say, now.
The new guy seemed nice enough. He wasn't too sure why he was in Slytherin yet (maybe it was the Parseltongue), but he decided to accept it and move on. He was pretty sure that his sister would praise him for even managing a short time of being talkative, which just...well, it wasn't too uncommon, but he wasn't usually alone. He usually had people to show off for, but right now, he didn't - and so he was completely out of his element.
Instead of choosing to speak to Amhra again, he murmured quietly in Arabic, fingers twitching slightly as he gave himself problems to solve and went through events in his head. It was more interesting to give himself scenarios and problems and solve them than to just sit without saying anything at all.

Amhra cast a glance at Pax as he started to speak, but Amhra didn't recognize the language and realized Pax was murmuring to himself, and so Amhra decided to disregard him and continue what he had been doing before, which was pretty much exactly nothing. He considered digging around in his bag for a pencil and paper to draw with, but the train jolted too much for anything to turn out any good. And he hadn't brought his phone or any of his games, either, since they wouldn't work at Hogwarts. He'd brought his phone the first time they came to Hogwarts and it had gone irreparably haywire, so he didn't want to even risk that happening to his various other electronics.

[/font] || 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?''
[/div][/div][/div][/font][/div][/quote] Though Logan was almost always in their common room, sitting so still and studying so hard he meant as well been part of the furniture, it still took Calliope a moment to recognize him. Her head was still in her schoolwork. "Come on in," she finally said, and with a simple flick of her wand, stopped the soft melodies of the classical music she was playing. You could never be too sure if those kinds of things would bother people. No, better safe than sorry, and Calliope could study to the background noise of the other carts and the hum of the train anyway. She briefly debated making small talk, ask him about his break and whatnot, but Calliope wouldn't want to be interrupted while studying either. So she turned back to her books with practiced ease, occasionally glancing over at Logan to make sure she wasn't bothering him. To someone with a careful eye, it was clear she wasn't used to sharing close spaces with others. The members of her dorm didn't count. They were almost never in the dorm, except to sleep. Calliope wasn't sure of the protocol here, though she wasn't exactly uncomfortable. It was mostly the fact that she didn't know what to do, and all Ravenclaws were never happy to learn that they didn't know something. (Sorry for the late/short reply, I haven't been able to access my computer for a few days. What did I miss?)
