 'Tis the beginning of a new year! There isn't many guidelines to this one, so commence the roleplaying! We'll see how this one turns out.

Finally making herself detatch from her parents and Yvonne, Marketa stepped onto the train with her trunk. She leaned out the window for a moment, still saying goodbye and making her mother promise not to do anything that involved Yvonne and the adoption agency one last time. Finally satisfied, she blew a kiss at tiny pink infant Yvonne and made her way to find a compartment. This should be an interesting year.

Sirius Black boarded the train with one last scowl at Madam Walburga and Sir Orion, his parents. He had hidden away at James's house over the summer, and a few moments ago was their first confrontation since then.
They had unfortunately spotted him while dropping Regulus off.
Abandoning his surly look, he walked down the train's corridor. This was going to be an amazing year.
Raising an eyebrow, he scanned for an open compartment... in hopes that the other three marauders would soon be joining him.

Marketa looked down the train corridor, wondering if anyone remembered her after a year of absence, and spotted a boy in her year. She vaguely remembered Sirius Black and the famous Marauders. She was quite fond of them, but doubted if they knew who she was at all. Feeling brave, she sent him a small smile and a shy wave.

Sirius spotted a girl, one that he recognized as in his year, down the corridor. He couldn't place her name, however; he couldn't even recall seeing her last year. She was a mystery.
After a few moments of idly pondering her face, he saw the girl smile and wave. Sirius looked around. For me? He wondered. As he could see no one else, he knew it was for him.
He gave one of his most genuine million-dollar smiles, and retreated to his compartment.

Marketa was slightly stunned that Sirius Black, Sirius Black, had acknowledged her presence. He even smiled at her! Perhaps today was going to be a good day. She smiled broadly, even though he'd already gone into his compartment, then realized she had nowhere to sit yet. She should get on that...

Sirius managed to find a place for some of the items that he had carried with him. He sat on the seat and propped his feet up on the seat opposite him. In some time, Sirius knew that he three best mates would be showing up.
Sirius thought of the possible things that the marauders could accomplish on the train ride this year. Of course, Moony wouldn't be participating... he always fell asleep on the trainride to Hogwarts... Always.

As Marketa walked the length of the train, she quickly realized how hard it was to miss a year of school. She hardly remembered any of these people, let alone had the boldness to ask if she could sit with them. Brown eyes scanned the train corridor and many compartments, looking for just one familiar or friendly face, but found none. How is it she didn't recognize any of these people? Had they really changed that much in one year? It was unthinkable that the only person she recognized from two years ago was Sirius Black. And yet, here she was, alone on a train, clutching a trunk tightly, with no one to sit with.
Perhaprs she could stand for five hours?

Perhaps he thought the marauders were coming.
Perhaps he felt eyes on the back of his head.
Perhaps he was curious about the mystery girl.
Whatever it was, something made him turn around and peer out the compartment window. Craning his neck, he narrowed his keen eyes to view the passengers.
What struck him as odd was that the mystery girl that had smiled at him was still standing there in the middle of the isle. She hadn't moved a muscle since they made eye contact. Hell, it looked as if she was still smiling, a dazed look upon her face.
He could not recall a thing about her. He had a faint suspicion that there was a rumor flying around about her once, but he could not remember it.
In any case, to avoid looking like a peeping Tom, Sirius Black opened the compartment's sliding window and whistled at his mystery girl.

Marketa had been just about to give up when she heard a whistle. Perplexed, she realized that Sirius Black was once again acknowledging her existence. Or was he? She looked around her uncertainly, making sure he wasn't whistling at someone else before making a fool of herself. There was no one out in the corridor with her, but she was still unconvinced. So, she looked Black directly in the eyes and pointed at herself quiestioningly. If he was really whistling at her, she may be obligated to act mortified and walk away. She could feel herself blushing already.

Sirius smiled at a small pink tinge rising in the mystery girl's cheeks as she looked confusedly around the corridor. She acknowledged him by looking him questioningly in the eye and pointing at herself.
He looked around. There was no one else here. What could she be confused about?
He nodded in her direction, and motioned that he wanted her to mosie over to his compartment. He gave an award-winning smile and hoped that he didn't look like an idiot. He would be extremely embarrassed if she ignored him and found somewhere else to sit.

Feeling a bit better about herself already, Marketa slowly walked up to Sirius Black, her trunk still gripped tightly in her fist. "Um...hyello," she finally decided to speak. "Would you mind if I sit wit you? I tink de rest of de train is full." She blushed again; her accent always came out more strongly when she was nervous. She hadn't even told him her name! "I'm Marketa Prochazka, by de way..."

Sirius grinned at the charming accent, and the fact that she had indeed come to sit with him. He was indeed astounded that she was blushing like a school girl.
"Of course you can sit in here. I hope you don't mind if my mates join us a little later," Sirius smoothly told her. "I'm Sirius Black," he added, extending a hand.

"No, I don't mind at all," Marketa said, relieved as she shook his hand. "Sirius. I remember you. Gryffindor, right? I'm Hufflepuff. It's a little bit embarrassing, to tell de trute." She really was telling the truth. Hufflepuffs were the joke of Hogwarts, so she was surprised to find Sirius Black even talking to her without laughing or making a joke.

Remus was walking aimlessly down the train corridor, wondering where Prongs, Wormtial, and Padfoot were, when he heard Padfoot's voice ahead of him. His steps became sneakier and more silent as he snuck up on his 'prey.' With a swift leap, he was on Sirius's back, laughing with amusement.
