This was Abigails fith year away from St Finbarrs. She was pleased to see the scarlet train as she walked through the barrier betweens platforms 9 and 10. As the smoke from the train polled down at everyones feet Abigail began to board the train pulling her trunk with her. As there was no need to hang out the window, like some of the imbosules she went to school with, waving at parents and family she went in search of an empty compartment. Finally she came upon one after a farely short search and a few hellos to classmates that happened to speek to her. As she sat ther in silence she desided to rumage through her trunk for her skechbook. Finally as the train began to move she pulled the elegant leather bound book and be gan to draw varrious land scapes and creatchers.
A few hours passed and Abigail became bored with her drawing, and put her book and pencils back in her trunk. As she did so she pulled out her school robs and sliped into them. She also desided to pull one her black combat boots to complet her outfit. She sat back down and gazed out the window. I wonder when it stared to rain? oh well. Hopfully this year will go by calmly and perhaps slowly. She thought to herself knowing that the year never passes as slow as she like. Soon it be came very dark, which ment the castle would becoming into view soon. So Abigail packed her things away and awaited the new school year.

(occ - I'm using the HP lexicon for the Runes professor's name)
Before Talia could answer they arrived at the station.
Both she and Gin were jostled in the crowd, but they both ended ip on the same carridge.
"I know I got the grades to get into all the subjects I wanted, so I should be doing Arithmancy, Ancient Runes, Asronomy, Divination and potions.
So I'll definitly see you in potions and hopfully Runes."
It was nice to be able to talk to someone like this, she had been unbable to understand people's need for friendship, having never really experienced it herself until recently.
She noticed Gin was holding his arm in an odd way.
"You ok?" she asked in a concerned manner.

He gave a fake smile to her and tried to change the subject. So, you think McGonagall made headmaster this year, she did always seem the type. he resisted holding his arm, only to remove the interest in it.

"You've not heard?!" she almost shouted in shock, "The new Headmaster is Professor Snape." she was surprised, "I'm not sure why he was chosen, but since I don't know what goes on behind closed doors, I can't complain until I have a reason to."
She knew some of those who lived in the muggle world would not know, but she thought Gin lived with other witches and wizards.
"Although, I can't see it being good for Gryffindors, and Slytherin will certainly benefit from it." now that she thought about it, Talia was concerned about Snape being headmaster, she knew all the rumours and now with all this blood status stuff going on, what was happening?
She knew she should not get involved, but she also knew that some of her few friends were muggle born and had not been on the train.
"Gin?" she suddenly asked, "Do you have any idea what's going on?" she sounded scared, and she was trembling, thinking how close her parents had come to not proving their lineage.

Shock came to Gins eyes and the pain from his arm seemed numb. He fell from the seat to his knees and was mere moments away from throwing up on the carriage floor. wh....what did you say? he hadn't revealed it to anyone that he was an orphan living in the muggle world and it didn't really seem bad in anyway until right now. His sweat was cold and his heart seemed to beet erratically. Talia... he gulped ...tell me everything that happened after Dumbledore's funeral last year. he was at her knees, seeming to not have the strength to get up.

(ooc - I'm gonna have to assume you've read DH, cause there are some spoilers, but only for the start of the book)
"It's complicated, but it all started when we got a new minister for magic, suddenly all these blood status laws came in, people had to prove they were pure blood, those who aren't are being sent to Azkaban. There's been a huge minstry shake up, and Snape got made headmaster of Hogwarts. There's all this propaganda going round about how witches and wizards are better than muggles, 'Magic is Might' that's the slogan" she paused,
"Harry Potter has been declared wanted, for being a blood traitor, and there have been loads of people vanishing, and tons of dementor sightings."
she paused again, them lowered her voice, leaning close to Gin
"That's all the official and some of the unofficial stuff. The rest is just rumour, they say You-Know-Who is back, some even say he's in charge now. And don't forget what Dumbledore said after the Triwizard Tournament, he said You-Know-Who was back. There's all kinds of rumours going around." she glanced out of the window and saw they had arrived at Hogwarts.
"But they're just rumours." she finished as the carridge stopped, she did not want to be overheard talking about this.
"From what I've seen and heard it's best to keep your head down and do as you're told at the moment. I don't usually think like this, but I'm scared."
Once she had calmed down she opened the door and stepped down onto the ground.
She joined the other students heading into the school, somehow it did not look as inviting as usual.

(( 7 hours of reading and i was done xd )) Gin took in this news and got out of the carriage with shaking fists. Voldemort...back? Potter a blood traitor? he had noticed that only Ginny had gotten on the train this year and assumed that Potter's other friends were helping him hide. He walked behind Talia and, before they entered the great hall, whispered to her, We'll talk about this in the needed place. he passed the girl without another word and took his seat at the ravenclaw table.

(ooc - that's an average post for those circumstances, you should see some of the others I've put in other RPs)
Talia heard what Gin said, then sat down separatly form him. She chatted a little to the few people she spoke to normally, but all the conversations seemed to be about what was going on in the wider world.
I guess there's no denying it she thought sadly, I'm going to have to pick a side and fast.
There really was no question about which side it would be, she despised the actions of the Deatheaters, she hated the idea of "Magic is Might." and she loathed the beliefs of Voldemorts followers.
She would talk to Gin about it later, she was sure he was in the DA, she had known about it, but had never joined, prefering to keep on the right side of the teachers, but now events had changed her mind, she too would fight, if it came to that.

(( i was talking about the reading of the book lol ))
Gin waited patiently for the sorting to be done, fearing to make small talk with others in-case they had converted to his side. Magic is might my a**... he started to remember his life before he had found out about hogwarts and how simple it had been. Wake up, eat, rough house with the boys and pull jokes on the caretakers then be scolded for it. Study, eat, then hit the sack for the next day. Now his life had taken a complete turn-around. He wondered if he could even keep up with the muggle boys games since he had spent the last few summers studying for his OWL's and NEWT's. I wonder if Talia even knows about the room of requirement... I'm pretty sure she wasn't in the D.A.... maybe I should contact some of the others first and see what we can do. his hand was in his bag, twisting his fake galleon around and wondering how to write messages on it like Potter's crew had done.

Carina made her way to the Gryffindor table and waited for Lyles to join her and they talked in hushed tones for a while and then the sorting started. Professor Mc Gonagall proceded as normal, just the amount of students was drastically smaller. Only about three new students per house! She had hoped that the ministry hadnt punished the muggle-borns for having magic, it just seems that the younger kids were as well. Carina realized that one day she's going to have to tell her mother about her decision to go against the family and become a "Blood Traitor", she just hoped that she could get away in time before she was killed.

Anne took the train and sat in Leon's compartiment; he was, after all, a 7th year Ravenclaw, and the others had joined up the DA gang and were filling their own carridge. She thought of all her muggle-born friends and her heart tightened. She knew Leon to be reserved and silent, and didn't try to chat. Instead, she took to reading her revised version of "Hogwarts - a Story", checking out all the things her mother would add and change to it, trying not to think of her last trip to Hogwarts, in a full compartiment, with laughter and friendship.
Arriving on the castle, she left her sordid company and found other Ravenclaw colleagues.
"Hey there! Gin! Talia! How are you guys? Can I sit with you?" She suddenly thought how pathetic that question was on the half-empty huge table.

The train had finally stoped in Hogsmed. Abigail hurried to a carrige pushing a group of second year Hufflpuff's out of her way so as to get out of the pouring rain. A few other nameless people joined her before the carrige took off for the castle.
Upon looking out the tiny carrige window Abigail's eyes fell upon a single white tomb. Although it seemed to blend into the grounds as the rain made it hard to see, it still stood out to her. Abigail remembered the funeral last year. Almost everyone cryed. She couldn't and she hadn't until she read it in the Profit. The girls at St Finbarrs asked her what was wrong but she couldn't bring herself to talk about it. Almost all of Slytherin hated Dumbledor. The ones that didn't wouldn't say a word about it. But Abigail had no feelings about the man. Also in the Profit, "Snape Headmaster of Hogwarts School". It was a shock. Good or bad Abigail didn't know yet but soon, who knows she might join Potter's little friends that were left behind, left to "mand" the school.
She got out of the carrige and headed sright for the Slytherin table. A few were missing. To bad Crabb and Goyle aren't missing. That would have been a serious inprovement. Oh well maybe this will be slytherin's year. Looking down the table she saw Pansy and nodded in respons to her wave. That girl gets uglier every year. Why on earth does Draco Malfoy put up with that pug faced slut. Well another year of staying on the pugs good side. Brace yourself.

"Hey Anne, grab a seat." Talia motioned to the place between her and Gin.
"Have a good holiday?" she asked, tryiong to keep an air of normality in front of the teachers.
Suddenly the feast appeared, and Talia was hungry.
She put food on her plate and began to eat, oddly, she was not surprised to find the food was not quite as good as normal.
Even the House Elves are affected? she thought, worried.

"It...it wasn't too bad" She said. Her mother had been left alone, much to her surprise. She was, after all, a Squib, Barty Crouche's sister, and the wife of a traitorous Death Eater...but maybe it was her nephew, Barty Crouch Jr., who gave her that immunity.
Serving herself, Anne looked around quickly to check for ear-droppers, and then leaned onto Gin.
"Hey" she whispered "Will DA be active this semester? I know I didn't join the last time," She remembered nervousling how she had feared not being accepted, being a Death Eater's daughter, and how her mother had asked her to stay out of things. "but this year...I really think we have to unite in order to get through. Those two new teachers, I know them, and they're in his league."

Gin looked at the girl and wondered why she was asking this. how does she know that I was in the D.A? he thought. I'm... I'm not sure what you're talking about Anne. he shifted his glasses and poured himself some more pumpkin juice. He knew the girl had good intentions but, he needed to contact the others before he even brought Talia into the D.A. He made a quick eye glance and tried to meet Talia's eyes.
