Rachel ran through the barrier and entered the busy platform nine and three quarters. Without pausing, she decided that Boltageman needed to put her into a house before she could begin actually doing anything.

I stared out the window, thinking about poor Ballow locked in her cage. I wondered momentarily if they had fed her yet . . . did they feed them at all? Panic gripped at my chest. Ballow could be starving for all I knew! I suddenly remembered that I wnet through this every year and I always forgot what happened to her.
I stood, very fast and straight, right off of my chair and ran head first into someone. Damn. My head was dizzy and I sat back down. Oh, well, she'd live, she had for the past two years at least. I gazed at ther person sitting next to me on the soft chairs.
The person was rubbing their head with a pained expression on their face.
"Panadol?" I aksed reaching into my pocket, to pull one of the many things I had in there out.
"Uhh, no thanks."
I nodded and instead of pulling out the tablets I pulled out a small writing pad.
"Your name is?" I raised an eyebrow at the person, still slightly dazed. This was one of my hobbies. If I met a new person I had to write stuff down about them. I was pretty sure I had seen this guy around, but I didn't know him that well. He was in my house as well, I think. I had a horrible
"John Evans," he replied.
"Blood type?" I continued, scribbling down the details. He gave me this slightly strange smile and asked, "Why do you want to know?"
I ignored him and skipped the question, "Favourite food?"
"Does this have anything to do with school?" he replied. Not the answer I was looking for, I put down, "No comment."
"Pet?"
"Umm, maybe I should go." He began to stand up.
I smiled at him, placed the note pad back into my pocket and reached out a hand to shake, "I'm Rhett. I like pandas."
"Umm, okay, I think I've seen you around before. You're in my house right?" John reached over and shook my hand.
His shaggy short hair suddenly reminded me of my poor Ballow. I nodded to answer his question, then I frowned, "Do you like pandas?"

The tragic tale of losing all #Brand for nothing in return.
Jacob wandered through the train looking for seats. Rachel had sat down with Lynn, (or Leah, I'm not sure...) The only spot open was a compartment with two boys in it and a red panda. He walked in meekly and sat down. Slytherin material he was not. He should try to be more like his sister.... More intimidating and witty, who says all the right things. He sat down and said, "Hi" as boldly as he could. One of the boys, the Panda one immediately came over. "Hi. What's you favourite food?" Jacob glanced nervously around. The other boy nodded, face full of empathy. "Um... chocolate?" He answered. The boy scribbled it down on a piece of paper. "What are you? The Hogwarts census?" He asked. "Wait... I know you. You're Rhett."
Rachel sat down next to Lynn (or Leah) and sighed. "Year three." She said. "I wonder who we've got this year. Roxana says they're not bad, don't know what to think though. That one Arithmancy teacher burned down the west wing and she said that they were all right." "Dunno." Lynn replied. "As long as they're easy, they're fine by me." Rachel nodded.

"See ya Dave," I shouted to my older Squib of a brother as my and my parents walked through the barrier. Dave sure was jealous of everyone else being magical in the family but him. He would never feel what it was like to apperate alone, or transform things with your wand, hex someone when your mad.
Bresem hooted happily has we got on the train and Keko squirmed out of my pocket.
"Bye mom, bye dad, See ya Oli," I said the rest of my family and went up with my two bone head brother Jake and Max. The two of them ran off to the back, and I looked around, and found a group of third year, of all houses, sitting in a compartment.
"Hey look all the houses are in here," I said and came in. "Hey Jonh, Hey Jacob, Hey Rhett, how is Ballow?"
"Good, the pups are great now. All of them at home with another one," Rhett said happily.
"Cool," I replied and set down Bresem, how hooted more loudly, the small owl was trying to get out.
"So what brings a gathering of the houses here? Well I guess the only real rivalry here is with Slythern and Gryffindor. But you two aren't really the fighting types, well at least not from last year. Anyone going out for quidditch, I got my eye out for Chaser. Hope I can make it, probably will just got a new broom, the Firebolt 2, early present from my uncle, I love having the head of Broom sticks and other magical flight implements, as my uncle, gets all the cool stuff to look at, then I can get them-" I stopped my long winded rant to see the wide eyes around me.
"The firebolt 2," John said.
"Yeah wanna see it," I said and took it from my trunk to let them see.
"Wow," They said basking in it.

Leah eyed Rachel. "Burned down the west wing?" she asked suspiciously.
Rachel shrugged. "That's what Roxana told me, anyway."
Leah made a disbelieving noise in the back of her throat. "Don't you think we would've hear about it, though?"
Rachel shrugged. "Fine. Don't believe me."
Leah raised an eyebrow. "I think I'd like to form my own opinions about the teachers. Not your sister's."
Rachel pursed her lips as Leah. Leah ignored her, reaching down to her bag to grab a book. She pulled hers out, then swore when she saw the cover.
"What?" asked Rachel, a little haughtily.
"Sienna grabbed my book instead of hers!" Leah cried indignantly. Now it was Rachel's turn to raise her eyebrows.
"Overreact much?" she commented lightly. Leah scowled. There was a knock on the compartment door. Leah turned and yanked it open. Sienna stood outside clutching onto Leah's book.
"Would you like to give me my book back?" asked Leah icily.
I glanced around the compartment I was in, recognizing who I was with. There was Andre, in my year and house, and Ella, a really nice Gryffindor. Summer was a blast and I hadn't really met anyone other than a few muggle kids in my neighborhood, and I was itching to get back to Hogwarts. Sure camping trips are fun, but I wouldn't dare pass up a chance to use magic again. Though, homework sure would be a bummer.
"So," I began, looking at the other two, "how were your summers? I went camping with some friends back home, but nothing really special happened. What about you two?"
There once was a cat. He wasn’t particularly fat. Fuzzy was his favorite mat. And really, that was that.
Oh, but did you really think so? Keep reading, it’s just the start of the show! And as for how far this tale will go… Well, even the cat doesn’t know.
*Second time this has happened I did a long post in the morning and it said it was in but then I come back and it's like it was never their, I think a moderators playing a cruel joke on me or I have a virus on my itouch*

Rhett scribbled down something again as we awed at Dave's firebolt 2.
"wow, nice Dave but me I like the classics, Nimbus two thousand, then again classic is just a way of saying old and crappy." I said smiling.
"I feel for you I really do" Dave said putting on mock sympathy and people laughed" Dave was an alright guy Rhett looked up from his work or that's what I assumed it was.
"I might try out for quiditch maybe' He said and I smiled not many people would think twice about trying out for quiditch.
"yeah I'm gonna try out for a seeker" I said.
"I mean I have amazing skills better than anybody else" I said in a mock voice.
"I thought Hufflepuff was for the painfully average" Jacob said in a joke voice. I nodded solemnly. before speaking in what would sound like a half hurt halt funny way.
"the sad thing it is, so why arnt you in it with me" I said and he laughed. we heard the door slide open and a old lady with a train trolley stopped.
"anything from the trolley dears" she said and Nick got a chocolate frog, Rhett bought a small box of sour weasleys.
"challenge you mate" I said to Rhett and we both plopped on in are mouths at the same time they were made to be really sour on the outside but if you bit into them they went really sweet and the sourness went away.
"Ha I beat you bad luck" Rhett said ten seconds later they were really sour.
"anything for you dear' the trolley lady said to me and I put my partly gloved hands in my pocket were the fingers of the gloves were cut off.
"sorry I don't get money" I said and she smiled before walking off.
"I would of given you a shilling John" Dave said. But Lynn sighed at him.
"all the good things are for two shillings" She said.
"no I'll take it" I said and Dave passed me a shilling. I held it out in front of me and took out my wand.
"I'd turn away now for some reason this spell causes a really big flash" In the wizarding world when someone told you to cover your eyes for a good reason you did it. I turned away and mutter the spell.
"cloneousus" I said and the carriage was filled with bright light for a couple of second. Then when it went away their were two coins instead of one I ran off and bought a bottle of honey juice and came back.
"Would you guys stop fighting already? We're not even at school yet and--" I started to say, out of breath from running over to Sienna before something bad happened.
"We're not fighting. I just want my book back." Leah said, groaning reaching over to snatch her book out of Sienna's hands.
"Its just a book!" I exclaimed. Leah was always getting into something, I always had to be peacemaker.
"I never thought I would see the day when January underestimates the power of a book." Rachel said, sarcastically.
"I didn't do it on purpose." Sienna muttered, extending the book to Leah.
Leah took it from her and sat back down. I sighed and sat down next to Leah. Sienna sat down by me and I put my arm around her.
"C'mon guys, lets make this a good year!" I said, trying to loosen the mood. I truly wondered if this year was going to be different or just the same as the others. I hoped different.
Jok my guy is Nick, Dave was his brother, who is a squib and can not attend Hogwarts, cause he has no magic (for any who forgot)
Nick~~
"So everyone got there Hogsmeade passes. Can;t wait to get out of the school some every once and a while. Plus my brothers never get me anything from Honeydukes, and that's the best place," I said.
"Yeah can't wait either, hear they get some strange kind in The three broom sticks. Wonder if we'll get to see anything cool," John said.
"Bet Zonko's isn't half as good as Triple W," Jacob said.
"I wouldn't bet your wrong on that. I got paid my brothers to get my stuff in for me, they got some owls dropping the stuff off near the school, gonna sneak out tonight and get them. They got some many people paying them for it, their money bags are weighing them down," I said, "Anyone see the cup this year?"
"Yeah, awesome show, didn't think Britain make it this year, let alone beat Ireland," Jacob said.
"That was amazing! I enchanted my Omniocuoars to record the whole thing, I've been re-watching it all summer," I told them.

So, this is a bit of a mess... Anyway, I'll post Axz, do you mind if I play with Ella and Andre's background? If not, I'll edit my post.
Ella - Gryffindor
Tasia looked at me and talked about her summer. I had seen her around and even took some classes with her, but I never really got to know her. She was... Hufflepuff, right. I only knew Andre. We used to hang out a lot, and eventually I started to like him. But it faded almost immediately.
"Hum... yeah. I spent my time at my friend's house, in northern Scotland.?
She smiled and nodded. I raised my eyebrow and asked, "Favorite food?"
She smiled, and we started a question's game. It's good to get to know someone. Eventually, Andre tagged along.
Piglet: How do you spell love? Pooh: You don't spell it. You feel it.
"Damn you fat people!" The tourists didn't take notice to me, the girl behind them with a cat and a thing full of stuff. I pushed past them with agile speed and the cat meowed in it's cage.
"Shush Petey!" I was met with a cat's yawn and then another meow. I bust thru the wall to Platform 9 and three quaters and ran to put my stuff with the others. I ran on to the train and ducked into the the nearest sitting arrangement.
"Hey mates!" I smiled until i noticed I was met back with with frowns of malcontent. I was sitting in a car full of Slytherins and one Hufflepuff. "Sorry Mates.." I ran into the room next door spying Andre, my savior, and Ella who I had shared a class with last year. A girl sat across from them who I had never seen before.
"Hey mates!" I sighed as i plopped into the seat next to the hufflepuff girl.
"Oi Emma!" Andre smiled at me and so did Ella.
"Talking bout summers eh?" and the girl next to me nodded.
"Hi I'm Tasia!" I smiled back at her and offered my own name.
"Emma!" and then the conversations started again.
*sorry had to get Emma some where..*
The one who smiles the most has something to hide.
..i'm lonely...message me..some how add me on your social networking site (unless you are some creepy weirdo who stalks girls for their organ harvesting company..i personally like them inside of me thankyou )
"yeah that last second dive for the snitch was so worth it even if he did break all the bones in his body" I said. Taking a bite of a chocolate bar I had in my bag.
"yeah I still wish Ireland has one though" Nick said as I stood up.
"I'll see you guys later I'm going to check on some grfynidors" I said.
"hey I'm a gryfindor and anyway your hufflepuff" Rhett said as I stepped outside.
"doesn't mean I can't dream" I said smiling and closed the door I walked to the next compartment and sat down next to Emma.
"weren't you just in that other compartment" she said and I smiled.
"one of my many magical talents" I said sarcastically.
"yeah John opening and closing two doors takes all of your magical powers" Adrea my fellow hufflepuff said I hadn't noticed him before.
"don't forget the sitting down that's the hardest part" I said smiling and he nodded. I turned to the grfyndor I recognised her vaguely from tranfiguation her name was Emma. I turned and said hi to the rest of the compartment before talk of summer continued.
"what did you do at summer" Taisa said and I smiled I had been at a retreat for werewolves who wanted to learn to control their abilities better. It was all bullshit but it was a chance to mingle with others of my kind. I wasn't about to tell them that though.
"oh my mum you know aura went all over the place but just left me at home but it was alright, still better to be with you guys" I said the part about my mother traveling was true and the being back being better bit.
"anyway guys I gotta back to my more diverse cabin" I said standing up again they muttered byes and I took a step back into my old carriage.
"he's back" Nick said with mock excitement I fake laughed and sat down in my old seat.
"Yeah," I said. "I went to China, the chinese wizards are awesome, all of the villages are hidden in the mountains, so you can do all the magic you want, and my aunt, she like most of my family has some connections in the Ministry, got me off the watch for a week, I was using magic all week. Dave my Squib bro, he was sulking all week, I tried to cheer him up with some magic, but it got worse."
"I just stayed home," John sighed as I bit into my fifth chocolate frog.
