spaceDJ's synopsis of the plot left a lot to be desired, to say the least. Unfortunately, it didn't do much to deter her from wanting to read the rest, which was something of a problem since she probably needed someone to convince her not to steal things. Most of the time, her thieving was entirely involuntary and even subconscious (hello, Hufflepuff scarf she'd taken from Ariel without ever noticing... and still had. It was in her trunk. She was going to give it back. Really. Eventually). But, in this case, she found herself actively considering doing it, which was a problem, to say the least. She didn't exactly have the best impulse control. As evidenced by her kleptomania.

spaceCharley pursed her lips slightly, humming thoughtfully. "Did you stop because you just didn't have the next volumes, or...?" As soon as she asked the question, she wanted to slap herself. She was fishing. Specifically, fishing for whether or not he owned the books. So that she could borrow them. She didn't even know this guy. Hopefully, he just thought she was being curious and making conversation, and didn't realize what she'd been heading towards. She hadn't even realized it at first, so it wasn't that much to hope for, she didn't think. "Uh, I just, I only have the one, like I said. I've probably read it, like, twenty times." And would read it twenty more, she'd bet. It was really good, for all the reasons he'd said. Especially the fact that the female protagonist wasn't a damsel in distress. She hated useless girls waiting around to be rescued.

spaceBelatedly, she realized that, if she was going to have an actual conversation with him, she probably ought to introduce herself. She was two years behind him, in another house, and quiet at best, antisocial at worst. He probably had no clue she even existed before she'd sat down next to him. "Um, I'm Charley," she mumbled, hand reaching as if to brush her hair behind her ear. It was a nervous habit, one that hadn't stopped when she chopped all the hair off. Instead, her hand brushed against the back of her head, scratching and ruffling the cropped hair. She wasn't sure why he was talking to her, exactly. But, if it meant she could sit with him on the train without it looking weird, she'd take it.

spaceShe closed the manga, hands dropping into her lap. "Uh, so, do you read a lot of manga?" she asked, curious. It wasn't that odd, she supposed, but she didn't know a lot of wizards who did. Then again, she didn't exactly know a lot of people, period. Still, it was kind of a weird interest for a magical kid living in the UK, of all places. Maybe he was a muggleborn? Or just a nerd. Which was fine by her, she guessed. Not that it mattered, because they weren't friends or anything, but they were having a (friendly?) conversation. "I mostly just... I go to the bookstore near my house and just read stuff that catches my eye, I guess. I've read the first few volumes of a lot of stuff, but I've almost never finished anything." She paused, frowning a little. "Well, except Princess Ai. But that one's only three volumes long, so." Of course, it had taken her forever to finish that one anyway, since the store had never seemed to have the third volume in stock. It was a bloody miracle she'd finally found it there when she did. Of course, she also tended to stick to manga because she could read them faster than a novel, and she usually got kicked out for loitering eventually. She'd spent an entire Summer one year trying to read one bloody book because the manager kept chasing her off. Not her fault the store had a better selection than the library.

Saffron grinned once Amelia had agreed to sit with her. "I'm with my parents, they're here somewhere..." She peered around at the platform, making sure to keep an eye on her parents so that she could say goodbye properly before getting on the train. "You can call me Saf, if you want."

Saffron nodded, accepting the help of the other girl. She really appreciated her kindness, "Thanks!" She exclaimed. When she heard the conductor give a last call, she caught sight of her mother again. "I'll be right back!"She told Amy before weaving her way expertly through the crowd. Saf gave her father a hug, kissed her mother on the cheek and hugged Forrest. They all exchanged "I love you's" and "good luck's" before Saffron was able to rush back to where Amy was. She knew that if she left without saying goodbye, she would be grounded for all fo eternity. "Shall we?" She asked, before climbing onto the train, grabbing an end of her trunk and beginning to pull it onto the train with her.

OOC: also open for interaction!

Benjamin was nervous about going off to school. Although he had Jessica in his year to help him through, he wasn’t sure it would go so well. He was on the platform with his father and the rest of his family. Part of him wanted to make his dad proud and say how great school would be, that he’d get into Gryffindor. Though he knew he’d be lying. The kid was like his mother… the mother her never got to see much of.

“Stop worrying Benny everything will be fine you’ll see.” His father told him. “How do you know?” He asked uncertain about his father’s words. “Because, I was you once. No matter where you are placed it will be a good fit. And, you will make friends.” David assured his son. “If you’re sure…” he replied. Only time would tell right?

Looking to his brothers, Benny knew the young boys would be fine. “Miss you both. Be good while I’m gone.” He told them. They were young and would certainly bounce back from him not being there. “They’ll be fine.” His dad told him. Benjamin nodded as he heard the call for boarding. Giving his whole family hugs he turned to Jess. “Guess we better go.” He told her. “Yes, we better board.” She agreed. With that the two boarded the train.

Stella smiled at Brennie’s chose in colors. Though she could tell he wasn’t a fan of the whole affair. Who would really? “Nice color choices.” She commented. It was certainly the nicest thing she could say about them. Not that it would probably make him feel any better about the situation. Any bit helped right?

To be fair when asked about her own summer, Stella trying to think of something positive. There wasn’t much there aside from seeing her father albeit briefly. “It was okay. I got to see my father. Wasn’t exactly delighted to deal with my step mother but can’t get away from her now can I.” She shared with him. It was true there was no escaping the witch and she hated that fact.

“Guess we should get on board. Want to share a compartment?” She asked upon hearing the final call to board. It would be nice to spend the ride with someone who actually didn’t mind bothering with her and whom she considered a friend.

Annie blinked in surprise when an older boy but in. He apologized at least and soon was rapid-fire signing to Jess. Uh-oh. Annie might not have siblings but she knew the face of someone who was steaming. Maybe it was about the luggage he was left with? It was only a guess, Annie couldn't think of anything else that it might be. Confused, Annie waited for more of an explanation which Jess soon wrote out.

Annie read the note and nodded. It was the luggage. She chuckled with how Jess worded her brother being incapable of watching the stuff. Annie paused thinking of a solution and wrote to Jess:

Mum got my luggage to the staff already. Maybe I can help you with your trolley and luggage too? More the merrier!

Looking up to Whit she said, "I can help Jess with her luggage. I'm Annie, by the way." She held out a hand to Whit hoping she didn't look a fool. Hearing the call for last boarding, Annie jumped and added, "Better get that luggage soon, then!"

Will's smugness lasted for all of a bout ten seconds after Dagrun apologized but then went on to tag on that it was hard to remember who was who since all everyone knew was he was a pain. He clicked his tongue in annoyance both at her and at Jack's loud snort since it wasn't that funny or big of a burn but still. It was annoying that vanilla ice cream personified was trying to be funny all of a sudden. Then she went on to make fun of his winking (his eyes weren't that small she had to know what that was!) which-to his dismay-led to an actual eye twitch as they heard the conductor call for last boarding. When she turned away saying she was going to find a compartment he was internally saying good riddance.
"See you then."
"I'll come with you if you don't mind."
Both twins spoke at the same time but for once were not in tandem. They looked at each other with raised eyebrows and varying emotions, confused/annoyed for Will and resolute/amused for Jack. The Gryffindor was enjoying his time with Dagrun and was honestly starting to resent that he hadn't made time to really hang out with her outside of certain shared classes. "Whattheyhell, you actually want sit with her?!" Will hissed lowly which made his twin every so much want to remind him of his house but he resisted just barely. "Yuupp! And you can join us if you decide to stop being such a troll. Or you can go sit with Cian." Jack offered with a friendly shrug as they both looked over at their short blonde friend. Who was busy canoodling with his girlfriend to probably notice the train whistle. The younger twin gave his brother a dirty look. "You'd abandon me with dumb and dumber? They always look three seconds away from eskimo kisses!" Will hissed incensed while his brother gave another noncommittal shrug. After a few more seconds of deliberation and unwavering don't-blink-battle, one twin sighed and the other silently cheered before happily following Dagrun onto the train.

They're gonna clean up your looks
With all the lies in the books
To make a citizen out of you
Because they sleep with a gun
And keep an eye on you, son
So they can watch all the things you do

Irvine eyed the train as he came through the barrier. He'd never been to the platform before, and his father had said that it was going to take him to Hogwarts. Not that Xavier ever lied, but Irvine had a hard time trusting that nothing was going to happen when he got to the school. After all, he was going to be a first year, which meant that he was likely to encounter people that would realize that he'd never really had a formal education. Not like Irvine cared, but he hated it when he was in a situation that made him stick out like a sore thumb. He swore that the first person that would give him grief about it was likely to get their head snapped off.

He waited patiently for Xavier and Ophelia to come through the barrier, watching everyone else in the meantime. He fidgeted as he waited, shifting his weight from one foot to the other, anxious to get onto the train and get out of sight of practically everyone. When Xavier finally arrived (it was really only half a minute but to Irvine it was much too long) he gave Xavier his best glare and crossed his arms. "You said you'd be right after me."

"I was right behind you, but I had to wait for a group of muggles to move on," Xavier stated. Irvine hated it when his father made sense, and he mentally groaned. Not only did it mean that he made sense, but it always meant that Xavier knew he was going to say something about it anyway.
