Okay. Lily was a bit freaked out. She took his hand but a bit hesitantly. He knew her, whole name. Did he know her middle name? What was her middle name again? Oh yeah, it was Maureen. She had had issues remembering that. It seemed like such a weird middle name. "If this is your aunt," Lily said, trying to logically figure this out. "How come your last name is Corleone or something like that and hers is Becket? Hmm Vito?" This was making her head her. Did she tell him she didn't remember any of this or what?

Kyle would do his happy dance if it was a manly thing to do. He wanted to look cool around his soon-to-be housemates and classmates. So he was indeed a bit irritated when his brothers kept making fun of him.
"That's enough," he hissed at his older brother Ricky, who was snickering. "I do have tears in my eyes! And mom, my hair is fine!" His mother rolled her eyes, and Kyle ran his fingers through his hair, hoping he still looked cool. How he hoped his dad was here, at least he could keep an eye on these two.
After he finally managed to convince them he knew his way around, since he had been on this platform so many times so this was hardly new to him, he had some time to look around. Finally I am going to Hogwarts, he thought with a big grin. No more chores and lots of magic!

"A pleasure to meet you Lillian," Aunt Abigail answered, thankful her grand-nephew hadn't forgotten all of the social nicities. "I'm their father's mother's sister... quite simply enough." she noticed that Allegra was halfway to the barrier and Drew was right on her tail. "I'm staying right here until noon!" she called out after them. "You have Boggart if you need to contact me! And please, PLEASE be good Andrew!"
"Love you Aunt Abigail! See you at Christmas!" Drew called back with a wide grin. "Come on Lily. Allegra's going to beat us!"

"Who's Allegra?" Lily asked, attempting to keep up with him. She was so incredibly confused. Allegra? Vito? Were these people she had known? She was going to have to tell this Vito eventually, but right now she was racing. That might have been helped except her legs were much shorter than the other twos, but she still managed to keep up her best.
((Deja vu - Lily so asked Drew who Allegra was the first time they met))

Beni had well enough arrived and thankfully without her parents. It was hard, but for once it wasn't out of parental embarassment, but it was more out of being embarassed for what had happened. They obviously didn't know, but Beni knew well enough. Needless to say, they saw how well her Europe trip went and let her off on her own to wait for the train.
She had sat on her trunk boredly, looking off into the faces of others. Some dared to look back at her with defiance, and others in admiration. Sure enough, it had to do with her appearance. Indeed, her hair was completely hot pink, save a few random black streaks. She had been bored for the rest of her summer that she decided to do something with her hair, and there came the result. For now, though, she didn't care about the other's opinions. Only her fellow seventh years'.
Doing her usual stare-a-thon, she saw a certain Ravenclaw run in the distance. Sure enough, it was Allegra. Beni didn't say anything, but when it looked like Allegra was going to well enough pass her, Beni called out, "HEY! YOOHOO! Why the rush!?! Is there a dragon derby or what?" She grinned.

"GANG WAY!" Drew shouted at the older Gryffindor. He hadn't even heard Lily's question and probably wouldn't have answered even if he had, thinking it was just another part of her game. With in seconds he had crashed through the barrier, mere steps ahead of Allegra, Bogey hooting and chirping in his cage enthusiastically at the win.

"Racing!" Allegra answered Beni, grinning as she glided past, looking as if she were on a bobsled instead of a luggage trolley. Drew's legs were a good deal longer and once he got into the race, it had been no contest. The best she could do was enjoy the ride. "Hey! I like your hair!" she shouted back just before going through the wall.
On the other side of the barrier, Aunt Abigail rolled her eyes and shook her head. So much for trying to be descreet...

"No, I'm fine," Arianna insisted, speaking to her mum and dad in Qui as they stepped into the train station, she carrying Juniper in one hand, her other holding a cold rag to her left eye. Her mum pushed a large buggy along, grinning at the few who stopped and peered at the babes within and her dad pushed Arianna's trunk on it's trolly, grimicing at the odd stares HE received when Snip, looking a bit ruffled, hooted loudly from her cage.
"Nine and three....quarters?" the girl's father asked, glancing around the station. He had seen trains before, but this was his first time setting foot inside a station. It was clear that the man found the whole thing rather baffling.
"Over here," Arianna motioned with her elbow toward the barrier between platforms nine and ten. As was expected, her parents simply stared at her. A few seconds, however, and they understood. Things might work differently in Qui-lin, but magic was still magic and walls weren't always what they appeared to be. Arianna's father went through first, followed by her mum and babies, then, of course, the girl herself.

Sarsha stepped through the barrier between platforms 9 and 10 with her parents right behind her. "They could at least try and clean that well up a bit" her father grumbeled behind her "It it wasn't missing I wouldn't touch it" His suit gleamed a brilliant black, his wife standing next to him in a long length red dress, one that most owuld expect to see only at formal functions.
Sarsha looked around her eyes gleaming at the magnificence of the place. It was huge, much more than she would have expected thses wizard folk to create, though she should have guessed after she had entered that giant bank in that strange alley. Dingalong? No that wasn't it. She like her parents was dressed quite elaboratly considering what they were doing. Her's wasnt as formal but still. Her long blue skirt stretched down to her knees and her fancy looking denim jacket was open on top of her pink t-shirt.
"Oh father, can you just not complain for once?" she asked her father, her small voice barely being able to be heard above the roa of the croud. A tall man in black followed through the entrance onto the platform after them. "Your bags miss" he said to Sarsha pushing two trunks full of stuff on a trolley. "Oh just put them on the train somewhere would you?" Sarsha said motioning to the train. The man promptly made his way to the train with the luggage, going and finding a compartment to put it in.
"Are you sure about this Sarsha Nicollete?" Sarsha's mother said looking down at her little girl. She wasn't too sure about sending her little girl off to some crazy school of.. magic.. which didn't seem to make any sence at all. She had had Sarsha enrolled in a very expensive school right from when she was a baby, but it had been Sarsha's decision to come to this one.
"Of course I am mother, do not worry. I'll write you a letter every week. And I'll study hard. And if theres any form of funny buiseness you'll be the first to know" Sarsha said looking to her dad who, much like his wife, was looking wary about this situation. They were both muggle born and so the world of magic was new to all three of them.
Sarsha smiled to her parents. "I wanna go say meet some new friends" she said to them. She went and gave her mother and father hugs. Then curtsied. "I'll see you in the holidays" she said to hem. Turning around and heading to go. But she accidentely in her excitement she ran into a girl hwo seemed much older than herself (Ari).
"Oh I'm awefully sorry!" she said taking a step backwards, her posh english accent showing in her voice. "Are you ok?" She young girl looked up at the bigger girl. This was not how she ahd wanted to start her new year at a new school.

Lily had raced too but had ended up behind the both of them. Curse her short legs. Going over to this Vito character, a bit winded, she gave him a smile and said. "Can I assume that we were racing against said Allegra you mentioned?" She asked. This was more confusing than Lily had originally thought it would be, but she was going to make it through it. She was determined not to let a little memory set back ruin her life.

Almost falling asleep. Well, nevermind he WAS asleep. Just as he was almost dead asleep he was woken by noise and chatter. He prompt up and opened up the cart and looked outside of it. Really he wasn't look around to see who it was but all he saw was kids and older kids like himself. For he didn't care, he went back to the seat and sat then closing his eyes once more.

((ooc: full permission to completely roleplay Nathan))
Two very similar beings despite height differences trudged through the sickening humidity located at King's Cross. Both boys sweated feverishly as they headed towards the bearings nine and ten. To an oblivious bystander not knowing the origin of the Jackson brothers, the two of them were odd, or even insane. One (the much larger one) was dragging two leather-bound suitcases -both large enough to conceal a rather slight person- behind him on a wooden trolley that he conviently found at the entrance of the train station. The younger, not looking a day older then thirteen, carrying a rather miniscule stuck-up Siamese cat in open arms. Not to mention their surprising garments for this particularly horridly humid day in England - thick woolen turtlenecks and slightly baggy jeans. The taller of the Italian boys wearing the neck piece up to his chin while as the younger folded the neck to a much more suited height for the summer. Crazy indeed to the oblivious bystander. However, to the many people adorning to a well-hid location, they were one of many. In fact, the mustering of many annoyed adults slipping words to delicate ears such as, ‘Muggles’ or short phrases such as, ‘What in bloody tarnations is an electrin-ic?”
The younger of the two subconsciously brisked his thick hair back and groaned in a whiney matter to his older sibling as the cat struggled to get away, “DAN-ULLL! Are we almost there?” In a flabbergasted state, he chirped impishly, “I’m dying of heat. Take smaller steps.” Most obviously, Daniel’s six-foot-one frame was striding much too quickly for the cherub soon-to-be-first year.
Daniel’s cobalt eyes rolled in annoyance as his deeply tanned face turned back to face his brothers sweaty face. He replied sarcastically, “Well then, maybe you shouldn’t have worn a jumper Nathan.” The slight English accent he had pertained as the year wore on at Hogwarts frisked away with the constant bickering in Italian with his younger sibling. “Vite. Nathan. Vite. We are going to miss the train.” Now Daniel was beginning to regret taking that last cup of coffee for two reasons. The first being the reason why they were rushing. The second being that horrid ‘swishing’ feeling in the gut when moving too quickly. It was funny how easily one could get addicted to the caffeine in the coffee despite its bitter and uninviting taste.
Stepping through the barriers of nine in ten in a flustered state, Nathan gave an overdramatic sigh and looked at his older brother, “You know perfectly why I wear a sweater all year.” With this he gave a sheepish shrug, trying to avoid the impermeable claws of the cat, however failing and getting a quick slash at the wrist. His dark orbs searched the throngs and he wondered aloud, “Do I really belong here?”
Yes. He knew why his brother wore a sweater all year long, but that didn’t matter. Daniel was back in the world of magic, where he truly belonged. When he left the world, he had found himself in an utter sense of boredorm, and came back completely healthy despite the few pounds he had packed on during the summer. Bloody Italian food, why did it have to be so good? Taking his flustered Siamese beauty from Nathan perhaps harsher then he should have, he petted her back and whispered her a few words in Italian. On this side of the barrier, it was quite odd to see a Seventh Year Slytherin student hugging a dainty cat, but he didn’t care. Misty needed such attention, and he loved his kitty.
Dragging the suitcases behind Daniel while still holding the cat, he headed towards the back compartment where there was only one occupant in the cart. Stuffing his brother in, for the other boy seemed to be the same age, he muttered, “Have fun…” Then stuffing in the suitcase after him he hummed along off tune to where he had already seen a few fellow seventh years run through the barrier. Beni and Allegra. He hadn’t seen them since the train ride home. The only aspect other then memories that he had from Beni was the green hair which had eventually washed out in a summer of showers (more then likely trying to get rid of those blinking bears). His hair was back to normal and jet black for he was now of age, and a simple colour-changing charm had worked.

Drew ignored Lily's question, tired already of the Amnesia game. Though he hardly needed to, he stood on his toes and scanned the platfrom for some more familiar faces. Allegra was already staking out the front car for the prefects and he knew he'd meet up with Hiro and Charlie there, but he also wanted to make sure he knew where Layla and Alhana were. There was no way he was going to listen to his sister drone on about rules and regulations for the whole day.

With familiar faces now pouring into the wall, Beni followed suit and put her trunk on a cart. Taking a few steos back with it, she was ready for takeoff. As soon as she pushed the cart, she ut her feet on the bars beneath and glided the whole way in, except for when she almost ran over a first year. "Oops! Hehe... sorry, mate," Beni called out as she kept on. It was going to be hard this year to not look like a malicious seventh year.
Eventually she abandoned the cart and found herself inside the express. She wished she had brought in her conductor's hat so she could make silly choo-choo train sounds. Seeing Allegra disappear before her eeys, she decided to rought it out alone and find herself a decent car. Finally doing so, she settle in, where no one was yet in there. That was an odd move for Beni. She was almost always willing to cram into the most crowded of cars no matter how early she was. But she just sat there, watching people come in and out the platform.

Lily followed Drew. She had to find out these things and she supposed, tell him, even though she didn't really want to. She tugged on his sleeve to make sure she had his attention. He was the first person who would know, aside from Matt and Channel. "Listen Vito," she said. "I don't know who you are or how I knew you, but I don't remember any of it. That's the honest truth." All she could do is wait and hope he didn't think she was crazy. Well maybe she was.
