`Don't Miss the Train! [open]

[padfoot!]

place; platform nine & three quarters and the hogwarts express

day; september first

time; ten thirty in the morning

It felt like any other day when he woke up that morning, but only shortly after getting up did Sirius Potter remember that today was the day him, his siblings and his best friends would get on the scarlett steam engine known as the Hogwarts Express on the way to start their new term. When he got up he took a shower and got dressed in his usual muggle attire, wearing jeans and a muscle shirt, maroon in color, and also a black over shirt that he left unbuttoned today.

When Sirius walked down the semi creeky stairs of Grimmuald Place that morning he nearly ran over his poor kitten he had only just gotten a week before. The owl was a family pet rather than just his, or it seemed like it because everyone used her to send messages back and forth to family and friends, so his parents had gotten him a kitten (the pet was his choice) as a present for passing his OWL's so well. Of course, the marks were nothing compaired to the ones his cousin Cameryn would get this year, but they had been far good enough for his parents and to get him into his NEWT classes, so he was happy.

He scooped up the tiny calico kitten in his hand, and carried him downstairs, the cat seeming so small and insignifigant in his large hand. Then he reached the foot of the stairs where his parents and brother and sister were waiting for him so they could leave. His younger brother was glaring at him evily, and then his father turned to the younger one, "What's goin on, kiddo?" and the little boy simply shook his head and shrugged as if nothing had happened.

It was well known that while the two boys got along very very well, they also had an on going prank war against one another the entire school year because their parents had managed to put an end to it at home. Sirius smirked, and said, "Nothin, dad. Now common' lets go!" he said anxious to see his friends again, and the few cousins he had not seen much of this summer. After a long car ride there, they had finally parked and were taking their stuff into Kings Cross Station, where they soon crossed the barrier between platforms nine and ten, leading to the magical platform nine and three quarters.

"So, where is everyone?" Sirius mused as he looked around, still pushing his trolly, and with his little kitten meowing from inside the loose pocket of his nice shirt. He grinned down at the little cat, and looked around hoping to find someone he knew sooner rather than later on the train.

Sitting on her window ledge, feet hanging out the second story window, was a redheaded girl, wearing basketball shorts and a tank top, with her long red curls pulled back in a pony tail. Cameryn Weasley was sitting on the window ledge because it was only eight in the morning and she did not feel like getting up. Her mum and dad were lazy and they would probably just apparate to the platform rather than drive like most of her cousins did now a days. Then again, most of them had more than one child, meaning multiple children and multiple trunks and not enough people old enough to apparate. Oh well.

Sighing, Cameryn looked out over the grassy backyard of their flat in London. This had been a particularly good summer, she had hung out with several of her cousins and good friends, written to all the others. Her and her cousin Sirius and her other cousin Rose had made a war against some of the others, and between Cam and Rose the evil genius was never outmatched. Especially with Cam's access to her fathers joke shop when ever she wanted. She was the only Weasley that did not have to pay for stuff, although Rose did get stuff occasionally just because she was almost as much the evil genius as Cameryn is.

"Cam! Come on, we're leaving!" A good two and a half hours later, at ten thirty, that was the voice calling her from down stairs in the flat. Cameryn had gotten dressed in a pair of skinny jeans and a low cut tee, with a hoodie on that zipped up in front. She grabbed her backpack that she had put the last few things in, the things that did not fit in her trunk that is. Just basically some junkfood and two books incase she got bored on the train, but the chances of that ever happening were slim. Of course this year, Cameryn had prefect duties on the trian. Walking the corridors and keeping things orderly.

And maybe causing a little trouble along the way if need be. It was common knowledge that there was always one big prank on the trian caused by Cameryn since her first year, of course this knowledge was not shared by the teachers, for they ride in their own car on the train. And if they did know about that, and the many other pranks this little devil in disguise causes then she surley would not hold that title. But seeing as all the teachers think she is simple and reads, and did not enherit her fathers genes, she landed in the perfect position to start chaos, because now, no one would expect a prefect.

When she reached down stairs, her trunk had been brought down for her by her dad, George Weasley, and her mum was holding her golden barn owl Aniu's cage, with the magnificent bird inside, cooing softly. "Hey, Aniu!" Cameryn chimed as she stuck a finger in the cage and stroked the bird. "Ready to go back to school?" she asked, and the bird cooed approvingly. "Though so," Cameryn said softly, and then turned to her dad. "Ready to go?"

George looked at Katie, and then back to his daughter. "Okay, so, I see you've been appointed Prefect, and I still don't see how in hell you manage to hide all the pranks that you are notorious for in our family, but don't get caught or you will be in more trouble now than ever. Got it?" he asked. Assuming that was coming, Cameryn had simply nodded through the whole thing, and smirked mischeviously.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know dad. I'll still be writing in orders as you well expect then." With that she turned on her heel, and then turned her head back, "So, what are you waiting for?" The three then apparated to the correct platform in Kings Cross Station, and she had no sooner landed there as she had spotted her cousin Sirius Potter. "Oy! Sirius!" she called, and he turned his head and waved. "I'll see you later mom, dad." she said, hugging and kissing them both as Sirius came over to help her with her trunk, his was obviously already on the train.

It was just as the train started to pull away from the station that a man of his early twenties jumped on the back of the train, robes flailing behind him in the wind as the train pulled away from platform nine and three quarters. His hair was rather short, and a fair brown, but with a Ravenclaw blue stripe in it. His eyes were a simmilar blue, and his skin sort of tan, considering the man was outside all the time. He waved good by to the tons of people gathered on the platform as the train lurched away, chuging along, black smoke rising above the clouds.

Ted Remus Lupin, twenty years old, and the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher for Hogwarts in the year 2021, was now walking through the door on the back of the Hogwarts Express. Professor Lupin, as the students know him, was waltzing down the hall of the train as if he were still a student there. He might aswell be, he only left the school two years ago, and last winter holiday he had gotten a teaching job offered to him in his favorite subject. Their Care of Magical Creatures Professor gave up half way through the year. So he taught the previous term.

Extreamly glad to be back on the Hogwarts Express, Ted started to look around to see if he could find any of his old friends. After all, any students that had been a fifth year or below when he graduated, were still here now. Then of course, not watching where he was going, as often he does, he ran into a girl. The girl was a young, probably a first or second year. "Sorry, professor Lupin!" the little girl called out. He shook his head, "Not a problem at all, my fault, all my fault!" he said and she nodded as though she were not sure it was true. "I'm sorry, I'm holding you up, go on." he smiled. Teddy was still not totally used to the respect some younger kids gave him, having only known him as a teacher.

Now he took off to find a "cousin" or someone else he knew to hang out with until the train got to Hogwarts when he would be forced to eat at the Staff table rather than at the Ravenclaw table. That was the only part that sucked about being a teacher.

[Eri]

Two teenage girls, both about sixteen years-of-age, stood facing each other in a compartment aboard the Hogwarts’ Express. Both girls were dressed in matching Hogwarts uniforms with one difference: on girl had the blue-and-bronze striped tie of a student from Ravenclaw House tied loosely around her neck. The other girl’s tie, fixed in much the same fashion, was the silver-and-green stripes of Slytherin House.

For those who knew of the rivalry between Slytherin and the rest of the Hogwarts Houses, this scene might be cause for alarm and contemplation on whether to interfere or not. Upon closer inspection the observer might happen to recognize the two opposing girls. If recognized, the observer would pass the girls’ compartment by without so much as a second glance, except maybe to ensure the observer hadn’t been spotted.

Rose Weasley—the Ravenclaw—and Estrella Malfoy—the Slytherin—were well known to most aboard the Hogwarts’ Express. Rose had the famous Weasley-red hair several shades darker than her cousins’ orange-red. A smattering of freckles most her age had grown out of dusted her pale face across a small pert nose. Stormy gray eyes framed by dark lashes set in her round face above a naturally red full mouth and pointed chin gave her the appearance of one much younger and innocent. This innocent façade had fooled the teachers of Hogwarts up until now, that and the fact no troublemakers had ever been in Ravenclaw before. Often compared to her Uncles Fred and George Weasley, she truly was a pranking queen along her best friend, Estrella Malfoy, and cousin, Cameryn Weasley.

Estrella Malfoy, according to Professor McGonagall, is the James Potter and Sirius Black of her day to Rose’s Fred and George Weasley. With black-brown hair, sparkling almond-shaped hazel eyes, small full pink lips, and slightly flared nose set in a heart-shaped face gave her a pixy-ish appearance. Estrella towered over her friend by a good four inches, standing roughly at five feet nine inches.

At the moment the two best friends were glaring at each other with such ferocity that a passer-by might wonder about the stability of their friendship. Finally Rose looked away, scowling. Estrella’s frown immediately transformed into a hyper smile as she picked up something from the unbelievably large pile of sugary treats spread out over one entire seat in the compartment.

Unwrapping her chocolate frog, Estrella settled herself comfortably into a seat opposite the Seat of Candy next to the window facing forward.

Rose plopped down next to her, still scowling. “That was the last chocolate frog,” the red-head complained obviously unhappy at loosing the glaring contest.

“Too bad, so sad,” Estrella said between bites. Once done with her chocolate frog she reached for the frog card she’d left in the package. The card had an ancient-looking wizard with piercing blue eyes behind half-moon spectacles on one side.

“Who’d you get, Stella?” Rose asked curiously leaning over to see.

“Dumbledore,” Estrella answered showing Rose the picture and grimacing. “I’ve got about 13 of him. These cheap little cards are nothing compared to the picture he’s got in the Head’s office. It’s rather sad really, that he was such a great wizard and all that is left of him is some painting.”

Rose couldn’t stop herself from rolling her eyes. Estrella was a history nut. She absolutely loved to learn about witches and wizards of eons past from books that were molding in some dark corner of the library, having gone untouched for decades. Often, when Estrella was sent to the Head’s office for some reason or another, she’d come back with stories and even more questions than she had had before she’d gone, having talked to the portraits of Headmasters of years before.

The two girls sat in happy silence, seeing no reason to talk; completely comfortable in the other’s presence.[/center][/font]

Allison McLaggen kissed her mother goodbye, and boarded the train. She ran a slender hand through her dark, wavy black hair that fell haphazardly across her shoulders. Allison began to look for a compartment to sit in. She usually sat with An, but An was with her boyfriend, as usual and Allison didn't really have any other friends.

She hesitated outside of a compartment that had two girls in it. One she recognized as Estrella Malfoy, who was in her House at school. The other, she didn't really know, but she knew was a friend of Estrella's. Allison sighed. If she couldn't find anywhere else to sit, she'd come back to this compartment and ask to sit there. She slowly made her way down the aisle, looking in windows.

She stopped outside one of the windows. An was sitting inside, with her boyfriend, Rob, and a bunch of their other friends. They were all laughing and talking. An looked up and saw Allison standing there. For a brief moment, Allison thought An might wave or smile or something. But, An just looked away quickly. Flushing, she pushed her way through a throng on students, not really caring or looking where she was going. She knew that is she stopped for even a moment, her tears would force themselves out.

[Holly]

Isabel Peakes was searching for a place to sit. It was extremely crowded and she didn't really feel like sitting with a bunch of giggling girls.

"Hey Bel-Bel!" someone called. Isabel waved in a general direction and kept walking. She stopped outside a compartment where she saw Rose Weasley and her friend, Estrella, laughing and talking. Rose was one of the few girls Isabel could stand.

She opened the door and said, "Hey Rose, Estrella. How was your holiday? Mind if I sit with you?" Without waiting for an answer, she dragged her things into the compartment and plopped down near the pile of candy.

Grinning wickedly, Isabel grabbed a Pumpkin Pasty and ripped a bite from it. "I'm starved,"she complained. She swallowed the mouthful, took a swig from the water bottle she had brought, (ooc/Isabel always has a water bottle because she knows if you're going to be active you can't be dehydrated.) and broke off a morsel for her mouse, Lillia. Lillia was obediently curled up on Isabel's shoulder. She usually hid in her ponytail, but today Isabel had her hair in a bun.

"I can put her away, if you want,"Bel-Bel offered, taking Lillia down and cupping her in her hand. "It's not a big deal if you're not into mice."

[padfoot!]

Cameryn Weasley walked down the corridors on her prefects’ duties as quickly as she possibly could because she and Sirius had been having a game of Wizards Chess in his compartment, and she was getting ready to win when she realized she was supposed to be taking another walk of the halls. She opened a door to a Slytherin compartment where they were rough housing, and she told them to cut it out before one of them went flying through the window. And when they said no, she said that they better do it now before she sent one of them flying out the window, and they still didn’t listen. So instead she assigned them all a detention for defiance and then slid the door shut, where she then preformed a non-verbal (magic well beyond her fifth year education) jelly legs jynx on all of them.

Then she walked down to the compartment with her cousin Rose and her friend Estrella. They were fighting over chocolate frogs, and Cam had to laugh at that. It was funny how two people from completely opposite houses could be such good friends the way the two of them are. After a while of talking with them, and telling them about the Slytherins, she said her good byes to them just as another Ravenclaw, Isabella Peakes, got there. She said hello to Bel Bel, and then left to walk in the halls just when she ran into Professor Lupin…

Walking down the narrow hallways, the nineteen year old Professor Lupin was hoping to find a compartment with people he knew (not hard to do), but that also was not full. That was proving more difficult. Most people he used to sit with had replaced his seat during the year before he got the job teaching at the school. Not long after walking up and down the halls one time he had almost determined that it was no use, and he would be better off going to the teachers’ car, or to the prefects’ car. He had after all been a prefect for his last two years, and strangely enough, Head Boy in his seventh year.

He pushed his way through the still crowded corridor and then ran into his “cousin” Cameryn Weasley. And he really did, quite literally, run into her. “Sorry Cam,” he said with a smirk as his eyes moved to the prefects badge on her chest. “Prefect aye? How did you manage that?” he joked knowing very well that he was the only teacher that knew what Cameryn Weasley was really up to during the hours of not school work. Definitely not studying like she claims to be.

Cameryn smirked back up at her, today, rather tall friend, and professor, Teddy Lupin. “For you information, I earned this badge,” she said with a mockingly serious tone. Then she grinned even wider, if it was possible, because when her friends had asked her that all day she has been trying not to laugh hysterically. “But now I’m off to sit with Sirius and some of his friends down there until its time to do another round, this job is rather boring, but I managed to hex a couple of Slytherin fourth years who tried to mess with me. As soon as they closed the compartment door, they were in trouble.” With that said, Cameryn turned on her heel, and cocked her head back to see Ted, “Estrella and Rose have only them and Isabella Peakes in a compartment a little further down if you don’t want to go back to the teachers though,” she said, as she had just stopped in to say hello to them.

“Thanks, and go have fun abusing your power,” he said with a grin and he also turned around in the other direction walking down the hall until he came to the compartment with a Slytherin, and two Ravenclaw’s in it. “Hey!” Teddy Lupin said with a smile on his face as he slid open their compartment door. “Room for an old timer like me in here?” he joked, knowing that most the students absolutely loved having someone they knew, or could hang out with, as a teacher for one of their subjects, rather than having an old bat who gives out way to much homework –cough cough, McGonagal, -cough cough-. Teddy stood in the door way, looking at the three girls waiting on an answer on weather or not he could join them.

[Holly]

Isabel grinned up at Teddy Lupin. He was her favorite teacher, and he was a great friend. "Nope, absolutely not,"she said in response to his question. Laughing, she patted the seat beside her. "I think we might be able to make space; what do you think Estrella? Rose?"

Allison sighed; she had found absolutely no where to sit. She decided to go back to the compartment where Estrella and her friend had been. She slowly walked back, fighting back tears. Allison had never felt more rejected in her life.

When she got back to the compartment, she was surprised to see Isabel Peakes and Teddy Lupin there. "Hi,"she said softly. "Mind if I sit here?"

Isabel grinned when she saw Allison. "Hey Alli! How are you? I heard that you're kinda going through a rough spot right now with An. What she did to you was totally pregnant dogy. Gosh, I was ready to punch her in her stupid face,"she said sympathetically. She got up and took Alli's hand, leading her over to the seat on the other side of her.

Allison smiled as Isabel led her over to a seat. She had always admired her from a distance because she was so nice to everyone, even the people who were sort of mean to her. "Sorry," Alli said, "It looks like Isabel's taking over your compartment." Isabel wave her hand, "Call me Bel-Bel. Or Izzy. Isabel is too formal for friends."

'Wow,'Allison thought, 'she considers me a friend!'

ooc/Sorry, Eri, that Isabel's like totally taking over your compartment. She's just so outgoing and truthfully, she really has a leader-like personality. So if you want to, I can just scratch this last post. Also, sorry for the language; Isabel does not have the cleanest mouth.

[padfoot!]

ooc;;
it had censored your words before cause i forgot to get rid of the words that proboards automatically censored for me, so i just deleted them if you want to modify your post to have the language in it, and i don't mine, Sirius has a mouth on him too. ><

[Eri]

OOC: haha it's perfectly alright, Holly. padfoot, you really should fix that *is teasing*

[Eri]

Rose turned her head just in time to see Isabel enter the compartment. Grinning she welcomed the other Ravenclaw with open arms. “Come right on in,” she told her friend. “We’ve got plenty of room.”

Estrella had also noticed their extra company. Not exactly on speaking terms with Isabel she knew she wanted to be. The girl had a pet mouse crying out loud! Mice were cute (though in her opinion cats were pleasanter). Hearing Isabel’s offer to put the mouse away made Estrella grin wickedly. “That’s alright,” she said. “I’m used to rats, Slytherin is full of them.” Laughing at her own joke Estrella grabbed a box of Berrty Bott’s Every Flavor Beans and went back to the notebook she had in her lap. Using a muggle pen that she’d picked up off the ground she continued to scratch and scribble in the notebook.

Rose glanced over at Estrella, curious as to why she was already writing in her prank-planning notebook. Leaning over she poked Estrella in the ribs. “Stella, what are you planning?” she asked suspiciously.

Estrella jumped; she absolutely hated being poked, besides she was extremely ticklish. “I’m going to get back at those Slytherin twats who think they can ignore my friends,” she said after giving Rose a good hard glare.

Cameryn Weasley, on of Rose’s numerous cousins, was Estrella’s favorite out of Rose’s family. Cameryn had just been in to tell them of her first day as a Hogwarts Prefect, including the bit about how some Slytherins had ignored her so she’d put a Jelly Legs jinx on them and given them detention.

This “punishment” was obviously not enough for Estrella, Rose observed. Normally Ravenclaws were opposed to revenge and supposed to be the better man/woman but in this case Rose agreed whole-heartedly with Estrella. Maybe if these prats got a taste of what it was like to mistreat a friend of the Prank Queens of Hogwarts they wouldn’t be so highly disposed to do it again.

“Let me see what you’ve got,” Rose commanded holding a hand out for the notebook. Estrella consented and handed it over.

Rose flipped through the most recent additions to the Prank Book. Stopping at a page with a detailed drawing of the Slytherin table occupied by what appeared to be the entire house. The drawing would have been normal enough except for one tiny thing: all of the Slytherins were a bright, eye-smarting pink. Tapping the picture she said, “This isn’t a bad idea but how would you evade this one?”

Estrella smiled wide. “Ooh, I like that plan.” She quickly launched an explanation on how the Color Change potion would be in their food and how she, Estrella, would eat with the Ravenclaws instead of the Slytherins that morning. While Estrella explained her latest prank they’d completely forgotten about Isabel and Allison. When Isabel asked their opinion on something, both girls started and looked up with wide “innocent” eyes.

“Huh?” Rose said.

“What?” Estrella asked at the same time.

Seeing Teddy Lupin, the Defense Against the Dark Arts and her “cousin”, Rose immediately perked up. “Teddy!” she said happily.

When Estrella caught sight of Teddy Lupin her reaction was almost the exact opposite from that of the other occupants of the compartment. Instead of smiling and greeting one of the favorite teachers at Hogwarts she hurriedly stuffed her Prank Book away looking edgy. Not sure on how the young professor and former Gryffindor was going to react to her presence in a compartment full of Ravenclaws.

Estrella continued to eye Teddy wearily as Rose motioned for him to come inside. “I think we can spare the room,” she said jokingly, patting the seat beside her. She would have offered the seat next to the Seat of Candy but Teddy had a tendency to eat all of the sweets in any room.

OOC: sorry if I god-moded!! [/center][/font][/size]

[Holly]

ooc/It's all good.

[padfoot!]

The light and happy greeting he received as he came into the compartment made him feel rather welcomed in this small group of friends. He knew Rose well for having grown up with her practically, as well as Isabel who he met through Rose and a few other friends he had previously gone to school with that he was now teaching. The other student he only knew because of teaching though Rose and her had been friends since their first year he had never made much an effort to get to know the Malfoy girl. For what reason, Teddy really did not know.

“I like how you sit me farthest from the candy,” Ted said with a smirk as he waved his wand and made a few of the less desirable chocolates float his way. “When I can simply do this, and you can’t,” he finished his sentence with a grin as he started to magically un-wrap the wrapper before he picked it up and ate the sweet. With a small grin he couldn’t help but wonder if that was indeed the reason he was sat so far away, but with Rose as the candy guard it surely was.

Taking notice of a notebook that the Malfoy girl had hastily shoved away when he had entered the compartment he was starting to wonder what was in there that he could not see. Of course then he remembered he was a professor now and that she probably thought he might get in trouble. Plus he was a former Gryffindor and she was after all a Slytherin, meaning there was quite a bit of house rivalry between them in school. That he remembered quite well. Now Professor Lupin was the Head of House for Gryffindor so she was probably even more apprehensive about letting him see her book he was sure was filled with pranks.

“So, Miss Malfoy, what is in that lovely little notebook of yours you are trying to hide, may I ask?” he said in a tone that was dripping with curiosity and a little sarcasm. He had made it sound like he was interested for Professor purposes but if you knew him well enough you knew for sure that it was a joke. He did not know if she would take it that way though he really did hope so. He did not want her to see him as a teacher to fear, he would actually try and befriend her, and this was after all one of his favorite pranking buddies best friends so he might as well get to know her after all this time.

[Holly]

Allison smiled shyly at Teddy Lupin. She didn't know him very well at all, and she was always a bit embarrassed around him.It was no big secret that many a girl had had a crush on him. Allison herself was not totally immune to his charm. But she, unlike some of her former friends, knew that he was far too old to even consider so she merely enjoyed his class and company.

An had always been one of the biggest crushers on Professor Lupin. Always drooling and and cooing over him; not to his face but in private, despite Allison's chiding about how old he was and the fact that it was rumored that he was already engaged to Victore Weasley.

Shaking her head to clear her thoughts, Allison turned back to the conversation. Unsurprisingly, Isabel, who was quite the troublemaker herself, was looking at their professor with innocent eyes and saying, "That was her diary. Of course she doesn't want to share it with you. You're a teacher, and a boy to boot. Isn't that right, Stella?"

[Tyler]

Another day, another morning, ~Hogwarts!~ Tyler yelled in his mind. He shot up in his bed, checked his iPhone's time and saw it was 10:30. "10:30? Why didn't my alarm go off at 5!" Tyler said jumping out of bed and into his closet. His parents insisted that he get a virtual closet, yet Tyler always liked rummaging through all his clothes to find the perfect outfit.

It didn't take him long to find the perfect shirt and a matching light sky blue vest to go with it. It was a dark, almost navy blue, stripped, long sleeve shirt. He rolled up the sleeves so that he looked a little more casual. Then he grab a pair of jeans. He owned only one kind of jeans, Hot Topic skinny jeans. They were his favourite. He checked his hair in the mirror, perfect, as it isn't normally. He put on his sneekers and flew downstairs. Tyler was surprised that the house still had them considering out technology obsessed his parents were.

"Hi mom, dad. Bye!" He grabbed an already made piece of toast. ~Must of made itself when I woke up.~ His parents were virtually bowling on the Wii-4. It took up the whole side wall, well the T.V did. His parents knew what day it was and simply said together, "See you over Christmas."

"Love you!" Tyler said before rushing up the stairs 2 by two. For a person connected to so much automation, Tyler was rather active and couldn't gain that much weight. He looked at his closet and his messenger bag. He had that bag forever, well ever since he learned the repairing charm. It had a spot for his iMac and his iBook. he never left the house without the bag and those two items. The computer was nearly his whole life, however he did like reading, a lot. Reading kept him from going crazy.

In the year 2021, iMac's where the best computer to have. They were used for much more than just the internet, they became near lifelines. With batteries that last well over 300 years it never needed charging, just like any other Apple product.

He walked over to his beside table, picked up his iPhone and checked the time. 10:45. Tyler went into an even quicker mode, if that was even possible. He pointed his wand at his teeth and a sock flew at his face. "Ugh, I really got to work on these charms."

He pointed his wand into the air and said, "Hogwata." There was a small crack and things started to dance around his room. His iPhone fit itself snugly into his pocket, his iMac flew into his magically opened messenger bag, and the same with his iBook. Clothes appeared from his closet that he had magically extended himself, so they fit his 6' frame, and when into a small cube like thing. The cube was about 2" by 2" and was called an "iPack." It could fit 30 outfits and play music from your iPhone as it dresses you. ~I love magic, and technology.~((Completely stole and edited from HP4 movie))

Tyler picked up the cube, now full, and put it into his messenger bag by hand. The last time he tried to charm it into his bag it nearly exploded. His bag weighed no more than 3 lowly pounds and he was off. He raised his wand into the air again and said, "Hogwarts Express, King's Cross Station, London, England." He tapped his head and he felt a small pinch and then a wooshing feeling. When he could see again he was standing outside the train. He made sure that his wand was fitted with a teleport option. You could say Tyler was the perfect example of the "best of both worlds." Once in Hogwarts though his wand beeped warning the inability to use Teleport. Hogwarts magic may be old, yet it was still effective. ~Somewhat.~ Tyler thought to himself as he walked onto the train.

Minutes later it started to move and Tyler looked for a spot. The train seemed to always get fuller. "Who could I sit with..." Tyler said to himself as he passed a well known, gay, group of fifth years walked by him smiling and waving. He waved back but did not return the smile. Tyler knew that all they wanted was sex with a sixth year. It's all they ever wanted.

Tyler found an empty compartment, a blessing and a rarity. He took his messenger bag off and placed it next to him and grabbed his iBook. He clicked the on button and the hologram'd image appeared. A british voice said, "Choose your book or enter a password." Tyler replied, "Enter Password."

[padfoot!]

Sorry to say it guys, but since we're all gonna start roleplaying outside this board and into Hogwarts first term... Board Closed!
