Waiting on the Train

[amanda]

OOC: This is my first post! I thought since the winter break will end on april 1st and it's the 29th now, this would be the best place to start one. It's open for anyone!

Michea sat on a bench on Platform Nine and Three-Quarters, watching as more and more people appeared through the gateway. It was as good a way as any to pass the time, and frankly watching people appear out of what seemed to be a brick wall was just a little fascinating. She'd thought her father had gone crazy when he'd told her to walk into the divide between platforms nine and ten. She should have known better of course, but she still wasn't used to all the seemingly crazy things magic could do.

She checked the clock on the wall and sighed. There was still a good hour and a half before the train would be leaving to take her to Hogwarts. She was so nervous she felt a bit ill, not that anyone would be able to tell by looking at her. Her dark grey eyes sparking with amused interest whenever someone else would pop up, but other than that her expression was placid. She kept her roiling emotions tramped down, knowing there was nothing she could do about them at the moment.

She wished she'd kept a book or something out of her trunk so she would have something to do with the time, but she hadn't thought of it. Now, her trunk was secured on the train and it was too late. Hopefully the novelty of people passing through the interest wouldn't wear off anytime soon.

Samuel go onto the train, since his brother and friend are at Hogsmeade, and it was time to come back to Hogwarts. He walked by and saw amount of people, but not that many first year people. He had wondered, and then stopped at one cart, he went in and saw Michea, "Hello...I'm Samuel, Sam or Sammy for short. Im a Ravenclaw first year." he noticed the Slytherin badge on her robes, "You must be a slytherin," he smiled at her.

OOC: She wasn't actually on the train, but that's cool. Since I didn't make it obvious enough, we'll just say she was. ;D

Michea started at the unexpected voice and turned from the window to face the boy who'd entered the compartment. He didn't seem to be much older than she was, maybe younger if she judged by his height, which meant he was probably a First Year as well. He was the first one she'd seen so far, most of the students were older and already gathered in groups of friends.

"Yes. My name is Michea." She didn't invite him to use the shortened version of her name that had been commonly used back home, she didn't even know him.

He grinned, "Nice to meet you," he said in a happy feeling, he was waiting on his brother and his friend to get on but it was early. "Are you ready for the new lesson's?" he had asked to see if she wasn't ready as his wasn't ready.

[Tristan Howard]

Tristan walked on the train still with that secret piece of parchment in his back pocket that he was going to report. He walked by and happen to see Samuel, he walked in, "Sam, there you are." he sighed and was waiting for Jason and probably Dezi.

Jason was running to catch up to Tristan. Dragging his trunk behind him, and his owl with his other hand he saw Tristan had stopped at a compartment up ahead. Panting slightly he said to him, "Gosh Tristan...you couldn't...wait for me...for a second?" Pausing for a moment to catch his breath, he turned around to see Samuel in the compartment. "Hey Samuel." he smiled.

[Tristan Howard]

He looked at Jason, "Yeah, but you know the train can leave any minute now, "he grinned being saracastic as he looked at the clock

10:04 am

[Jahan Samara]

Jason looked back up at Tristan. "O, very funny Tristan. And I suppose if the train started moving and I was still outside you would come running to help me get on right?" he said sacastically. "Anyway, where do you want to sit?" he asked.

[Tristan Howard]

He grinned in a laugh and Jason asked a question, "Err, I guess here," he then looked at Samuel, "So 'BRO' you ready for the new lesson?" he smiled.

[samh]

He looked at him in a 'Ugh' way. "Yeah you can sit here, and the new lesson PIECE OF CAKE! Though I wish potions was never a class, I don't like that class and I wonder what will happen to me since I'm a firstie and walking through the hallway's" he had goosebumps for a minute.

[Tristan Howard]

He sat beside Samuel, he sighed, "Yup, your going to be freshmeat bro. The fifth and sixth years are going to really... beat yo--- I mean.... play JOKES on you, yeah, me...On my first year I had to clean....well you know nothing happen to me on my first year here, so I was lucky." he smiled.

[Jahan Samara]

Jason dragged his trunk inside and put it in the storage compartment above them. Holding his owl, Eiros, he sat down across from Tristan. Over hearing what Tristan said about Samual being fresh meat he gave a small smile. "Yep, the older kids may want to practice some of their spell work on you if you're not carefull." he said.

Michea looked around at all the boys who'd invaded her space, most of whom hadn't even said hello to her. Not that she minded, she'd no particular desire to speak with people who didn't want to speak with her. She watched them, her expression politely impassive as she listened to their conversation. She wasn't going to intrude on them, their chatter was amusing. She wondered if the boy, Samuel, who'd briefly spoken with her, was buying all this silliness.

Glancing at her watch, she was amazed at how the time had flown. It seemed only moments ago, there was about an hour and a half till time for the train to depart. Now, it seemed the train would be departing any moment.

[Jahan Samara]

Jason looked up to see a girl that he hadn't noticed before. By the look of her, she looked like a first year and he guess that she was a Slytherin due to the fact that her robes were green. "Sorry, didn't see you there." he started. "I'm Jason Slane. Who are you?"
