With Lily hopefully taken care of, Drwe hurried back to where Charlie was still gathering her things. "Here, let me help," he said, picking up a few of her scattered belongings and setting them back on her cart. "How'd you manage to make such a mess anyway?" At his very first comments-- obviously his way of greeting her-- Charlie was very able enough to chuck the owl cage at him. But deciding not to do it because she needed the animal in it, she just flipped him off when he was still distant and tried getting the second heavy trunk. Why she had a second trunk was beyond even her, but her brother Chris had told her to take it and that he'd give her more info when she was in the castle. During the entire port key trip there, and the few hours she was with poor decrepit Uncle Ernie, she was killing herself just trying to figure out what was in the trunk. Finally after trying to get the trunk, she stopped for a second when it to hard to do so. It was a miracle getting it up manually. She would need to levitate it. Just as she stood up straight and took out her wand, she was met with Drew. She shrugged at his question. "The uncle..." She started but then grinned at him unexpectedly. "Dude! Look!" She leapt over her trunk and stood next to him, pointing from the top of her head to his chin. "Hehe, used to just reach below your shoulder or something. Eh, but no one can beat the tall freak, right?" She patted his shoulder and chuckled.

Dorf Morris pulled her trolley in the direction of the train that would take her to her school. She had been ushered into the taxi before saying good bye to Uncle Henry. She didn’t know why she had been chased out of the house so abruptly. She had hoped to have Uncles pancakes but mother had chased her to the taxi before she could say anything. She wanted for once for either of them to come with her but they never had.
She saw a lot of teenagers saying good bye to their parents and hugging younger siblings, both of which she did not have. She recognised a lot of fellow students from her magical school. She smiled as she made her way to the train and the luggage compartment. She picked up her heavy trunk and tried to put it on the train but dropped the one side on someone’s foot. “Oh my, I’m sorry!”

"You still have a ways to go, Shorty," Drew answered with a wide grin. He continued gathering her scattered things, when he noticed the second trunk. "Which one is yours?" he asked, pointing first at one and then at the other.

Charlie smirked at him and groaned at the two huge trunks. "Both of them... sorta. Me and my uncle had to use the levitating charm together to get it on the cart. Wanna help me out with that one?" She had her wand in her hand. She couldhave done it herself, but it was such a struggle to lift it. One would think that Chris put his whole life in there or something.

"You're such a whimpy girl..." Drew scoffed as he grabbed the handle and tugged. Unfortunately, the trunk did not budge, nearly resulting in Drew's arm being pulled from its socket. He let go of the handle and rubbed his aching shoulder. "Wands then," he said sheepishly, pulling the spare wand he now carried out from his back pocket.

Charlie laughed at his effort of trying to take the big trunk up, and shrugged at him. "Who's the wimpy girl now?" She grinned at him when her laughter subsided. "Alright, then. Windgarium leviosa..." If she was lucky, Drew said it almost at the same time, or else she'd feel the struggle of it.

Swish and flick... It was easy enough, but not a spell Drew used very often. Something this big needed full magical power though. "Count of three, okay?" he told her, thinking along the same lines as Charlie. "One... two... three... Wingardiaum Leviosa."

Between the power of the two of them, they were able to take the trunk and get it to it's respective place. Charlie sighed. Just charming it was breath-taking. "Alright... I guess I'll just take this stuff and put it wherever it needs to go," she said. "Are you coming? Or am I gonna see ya somewhere else?"

"Layla's supposed to be staking out a spot on the train for everyone, but we have that stupid meeting in the front compartment first," Drew reminded her, giving the trunk a final shove to make sure it stayed on the trolley. He probably shouldn't refer to the meeting as 'stupid', considering Allegra and Kellen were running the thing, but still.

"You kiddin' me? We really have to go?" Charlie complained, groaning at the thought of spending an hour plus talking about boring stuff when she could be sleeping or hanging with friends. "Can't we just skip or something? I mean, it's pretty easy to hide in a train full of kids." But hiding wouldn't be any more fun.

"Where the heck are you planning on hiding?" Drew asked, rolling his eyes. "Unless you have an invisibility cloak I don't know about, it's kind of hard to escape when there's only one hallway." Truth was, he would have ditched if it weren't for one thing. No, he could handle Allegra giving him a hard time. But if he skipped out, Raynor would find out. Then there would be hell to pay.

Sarsha smiled as the girl turned back and kissed the little babies and her parents goodbye. A slight tang of sadness swept through her as she kinda wished she had a big sister, or a little sister. She was an only child after all and had always wished to have a sibling. When the girl returned Sarsha smiled. She was happy to have found someone to talk to. She turned and waved a final goodbye to her parents, whom she knew would be waiting until the train left, just incase she changed her mind. Sarsha followed Arianna onto the train. "Oh I come from England" she said, though her accent basically gave the whole living thing away, but she never noticed. "Where do you reside from?" Sarsha then asked Arianna curiously. She didn't offer help with the trunk. She had always had a butler with her at home so never really had to lift a finger. She would of course, have offered hr butlers assistance. She also probably wouldn't have been much help with the trunk as she was awefully weak. "Qui-lin," Arianna grunted, finally pulling her trunk into the car. Now she just had to find a compartment. Hopefully she could find out where some of her friends were sitting and find a seat with them. If anything, she wanted to catch up with Allegra or Drew.

"I just told ya it's easy!" Charlie huffed out, but decided not to go into it. She thought a quick visit would be good enough and then she'd fly outta there.
Pushing her cart by the train, her things were taken and now she wasn't lugging a lot, only a bookbag. (Yes, the writer has no idea where the luggage goes.) "How's Qui-lin?" Charlie asked suddenly, just to change the pace of the conversation.

"A lot of bowing," Drew answered, though he didnt' say it like it was a bad thing. "Dude, it was so cool. We went diving off this cliff into the ocean and played quidditch on carpets. SO excellent!"
Charlie didn't need to know he had fallen off his carpet, not once, but twice... and right as he had been about to score too...

"No! No! Don't mention that name!" he said in shame. That last incidient he became more and more scared of the Charms teacher. "She scares me, dude. She bloody levitated me in the classroom just because I was sleeping just when class started. It freaked me out! No telling what she'll do to me if I do it again," he said to them. Charms was not going to be fun no more.. for him. Anna laughed. Turning to them again she said, "Wait, he fell asleep and Prof. Ashford levitated him?" Anna always liked Ashford and had never seen her do anything of the kind to anyone in her class. The thought seemed funny to her, but then again waking up upside down in the classroom might have freaked her out too. "Were you studying really hard that night and fell asleep or what?"
