Alice decided to stay quiet, the boy draco seemed very rude and didn't seem to like Penelope or Kain that much, she wouldn't get involved as she didn't fancy making enemies on her first day. She decided to tune them all out so she grabbed her jotter from her bag and began drawing little doodles

Kain smiled towards Alice, who clearly, was not interested in fighting. Draco, was busy argueing with Penelope, and Kain was just sitting back, enjoying the show. Honestly, Draco brought all this on himself. Kain Sighed, and pulled Draco back forcing him to sit down, and breathe. "Relax Draco. It's not a big deal. It's only a couple of hours." He suggested, his british accent shining through. Kain just gave his blond friend a look, and hoped that he would calm down. Kain was still tired, and realized that this train ride would go by faster, if he just talked. Even if that was out of his comfort zone. Today he was acting, strangly, unlike himself, and he was well aware of it. And, it seemed that Draco was well aware of it, too. Usually, Kain would've laughed hysterically at the girls smashing into eachother, usually he wouldn't have let them in, and started friendly conversation. Usually, he would be sitting here, talking with Draco about plans for the year to come.
Usually.
But today, he was sitting with Alice and Penelope, two girls who he had hardly, if at all, spoken to. What was wrong with him?

At first Penelope smiled at Draco, finding his anger entertaining, though part of her did feel bad for him. She understood Draco's need for a cooling period after leaving his house just as she needed hers. The fact was that he and she weren't that different in some aspects. Well in the aspects of their home life that is, but totally different when it came down to who they were and how they dealt with their family.
"Seriously Draco, would it hurt you one little bit to be the least bit friendly? Look at this as a chance to catch up a little. Think of how happy it would make our parents if they found out that we sat together." Penelope stated, keeping her voice pleasant. That wasn't hard for Penelope since she rarely ever raised her voice. What she had said was true, at least her father would be thrilled to find out that she was spending time with a 'worthy' group of friends rather than those with whom she had been spending her time.
Penelope knew that Draco wouldn't really see things the way she did, and though she could keep going, she could tell that Alice was uncomfortable with the tension in the compartment.
"Alice, meet Draco. He's the head boy of Slytherin. Draco, this is Alice. I can't really remember Alice, did you ever say what house you were sorted into?" Penelope asked, turning her attention to Alice in hopes of soothing her.

Luna Lovegood walked through the busy train station as if she had no worries in the world, not even bothering to take her eyes away from the latest edition of The Quibbler. She paid no attention to the attention that her clothes was getting from the muggles that rushed through the station.
Today she was wearing a bright yellow dress with pink flowers along the neckline. Thats not that strange you may be thinking, well that would be true if the flowers were just material, but no. Luna had managed to attach real pink flowers to the dress. Luna liked the way she dressed, and the flowers smelled beautiful.
Without looking up from the newspaper,or rushing the least bit, Luna walked through the platform for 9 3/4. She just made it onto the Hogwarts express before the train pulled away from the station.
Almost as if being pulled into the correct direction, Luna made her way to the compartment where two of her friends waited for her arrival.

Alice had managed to tune every one out ignoring the on going argument, she was happy drawing, even f she did look like the quiet kid in the corner she didn't mind, she tuned in again at the sound of her name though
"Alice, meet Draco. He's the head boy of Slytherin. Draco, this is Alice. I can't really remember Alice, did you ever say what house you were sorted into?"
"hi" said Alice to draco Alice turned to Penelope "no sorry I'm in gryffindor" said Alice to Penelope "I was sorted over the summer, when my dad went to see Dumbledore about my transfer".
"So what houses are you three in then" Alice asked to every one.
They were interrupted by an old looking witch carting the lunch trolly.
"Anything off the trolly dears?" she asked

Penelope hadn't had any kind of treats but muggle treats since she left Hogwarts before break because she had been traveling through America, and so she decided to buy some Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Jelly Beans. After the others made their purchases (well, those who did make them that is) Penelope returned to Alice.
"Brilliant, I'm in Gryffindor too. Actually I'm the Head Girl and so if you need anything, anything at all, just let me know." Penelope informed.
Penelope picked out a yellowish jelly bean and put it in her mouth thinking it was butterscotch flavored. As soon as she tasted it, she quickly took it out of her mouth and put it in a napkin to throw away. It wasn't butterscotch at all, instead it was earwax. She made a dreadful facial expression and looked up, taking notice that both Draco and Kain were looking at her.
"It was earwax flavored," she stated, letting out a small chuckle at herself. "Care for one?" she offered a jelly bean to the three in the compartment.

Alice bought a couple of licourise wands offering one to every one in the compartment.
"Thats good" Alice said turning to Penelope "At least I have one friend in my house" Alice said smiling .
Alice chuckled softly when Penelope pulled a face while trying a bertie botts bean, they others in the compartment gave a little chuckle or in Draco's case sneered at Penelope.
Draco and Kain gave her strange looks and Penelope started handing out the beans. Alice choose a red one,
"Maybe it'll be cherries" she said to Penelope
she put the bean in her mouth and began to chew, no sooner than it had touched Alices tounge her mouth felt like it was on fire she gasped and felt her eyes water, she bravely swallowed it and scrunched up her face as her throat and mouth still felt like they were on fire.
"Chilli flavour yum" Alice said sarcastically, she took a swig of her butterbeer she had also purchased but could still taste the spicyness of the chili. "I think I'll need fire whisky to wash that out" said Alice downing more of her drink.

Kain couldn't help but laugh.
He got 4 chocolate frogs, and handed them out to everyone. "Well, I'm in Slytherin as well, along with Draco." Kain said, and Draco nodded, eating the chocolate frog that Kain had just given him. When Penelope passed out the jelly beans, Kain was reluctant to take one. "Hmm...I'll settle for a green one, those are usually the safest." He said, and took a small green bean, popping it into his mouth. "Grass." He replied, while chewing it calmly. "How gross." He finished, and opened his chocolate frog. the amphibian suddenly made a break for it, and Kain caught it, without any trouble. He had done this so many times before. "Hah, I got Dumbledore." He said, showing everyone his famous wizard card. "Who did you all get?" He asked, taking a sip of his water.

Draco was the only person who didn't get any food. He was already angry enough, and he wasn't in the mood to buy anything. "Here." Said Kain, giving Draco a chocolate frog. The older boy treated Draco like a pet. Seriously, he did. Well, sometimes. He ate the chocolate frog, and held up the card he got. "I got bloody Dumbledore too..." He said, not very happily. Kain chuckled at him, and Draco shot him a quick death glare. He took one of Penelope's jelly beans, and ate it. He had also gone safe, and chosen a green one. And, luckily, it paid off. "Green Apple." He said, and Kain groaned, obviously upset that Draco got the flavor he wanted. "Sorry buddy, maybe next time." Draco said to his friend, and sat back.
He was starting to relax, actually. He turned to Alice, and spoke. "So, where did you come from Alice?" He asked, semi-kindly, yet, semi-not. He always had this tone about him, that made him seem unfriendly. He guessed that it was just natural.

Alice stuck her tounge out at kain for laughing but smiled and laughed along.
Alice took a chocolate frog and gave a quick thanks to kain, she opened it carefully, getting ready to grab at the little blighter when it made for its escape, she caught it quickly but it jumped again she grabbed the air catching one of its legs so it dangled almost lifelessly from her grip. she broke a bit of and ate it slowly chocolate frogs were one of Alice's all time favourites. she looked at her card frowning slightly.
"Rowena Ravenclaw" Alice said looking at the moving picture and showing it to the others. "Thats the 12th card of her I have of her" sighed Alice as she pocketed the card.
she crossed her legs curtley on her seat and sat back it was still only mid day they still had a long way to go till they got to hogwarts, maybe the rest of the trip would be enjoyable, at least they arguing had stopped
She turned to Draco who had just asked her where she came from.
"I transfered from WADA, the wizarding academy of dramatic arts" said Alice her tone dropping to a sad quiet one,Alice dropped her head slightly not meaning to, she didn't want to talk about what it was like there, and the torture she had been put through, she pushed it to the back of her mind, cheering up her tone of voice. "Hopefully Hogwarts will be a change" said Alice happily

Kain looked at Alice in fake suprise when she stuck her tounge out at him. "Ah, I've heard of WADA. It's supposed to have an excellent curriculem, correct?" He stated, and..asked, peering towards Alice. He noticed Alice's drop in emotion immeadiatly, and tried to stray from it.
If she wanted to tell them why she was upset about it, she would've by now.
"Well, Hogwarts is going to be great. I'm sure you'll love it." He said reasurringly, and glaced at Draco, who was falling asleep. He smiled at him, and patted him gently on the head, slightly waking him from his daze. He quickly looked over to Penelope, acting as if he didn't wake Draco at all. "Well, Penelope, I'm sure that It'll be exciting to be Head Girl this year, right?" He asked, remembering how excited Draco was when he got his letter, which announced him as "Head Boy". Kain, suprisingly, wasn't upset that he wasn't head boy at all. After all, Draco was the epitome of a perfect Slytherin. And, his grades were excellent. Plus, Kain knew that Albus Dumbledore didn't want him to be the head boy. Albus still didn't quite trust Kain completely, and often kept a close eye on him.
Kain remembered when he first arrived at Hogwarts, during the middle of the school year, 3 years ago. Albus hadn't seen Kain in 50 years, and suddenly the vampire showed up at his school, not showing any signs of being the creature that he was. Dumbledore was wary at first, and finally accepted that the vampire had become something maintainable. Naturally, he didn't want to risk anything, so he made sure that Proffesor Snape watched the boy, carefully, in any case when Dumbledore, himself, couldn't be there. So, Kain wasn't suprised at all that he was not selected to be Head Boy. Of course, he would've liked it, but in the reality, Draco deserved it.

Illyanna smiled, still slightly afraid of Neville's...moving...furry...cactus. It was freaking her out alittle. "So Neville, what did you do this summer?" She asked, breaking the silence. "Oh, my grandmother and I visited America, actually." Illyanna grinned, "No way! I've been there once, New York City was so much fun!" She gleamed, and Neville laughed. "Yeah, my Grandmother wanted to go and see the wide open spaces of vermont, and made us stay in The Mount Washington Hotel." He trailed off, obviously remenising. "It's haunted you know. And, grandma paid extra to let us stay in the Princess' room. I was terrified!" illyanna's eyes widened. "Did you see the princess?!" She asked, and Neville nodded. "Yeah, she sat on the end of my bed, and combed her hair!" He said, his eyes getting wide with fear. Illyanna laughed. "Oooooh scarrrry!" She giggled, and Neville poked her. "Hey! It was! Imagine if you had a random lady sitting on the end of your bed, brushing her hair?" He asked, and Illyanna shrugged. "I would talk to her." Neville frowned. "That's what my grandmother did..." He looked at Illyanna, as if telling a bone-chilling tale. "The princess talked back! My grandma said 'hello, princess!', and the princess said 'who's that?'" He had gotten his face close to Illyanna's as if to scare her more. She just shook her head. "That's all she said?" She asked, and Neville nodded. "My grandma said her name afterwards, but the princess had dissapeared!" Illyanna sighed. "Nice." Their conversation was suddenly cut off by the opening of their compartment door. Was Luna finally here?

"Yeah the lessons were pretty cool" said Alice faking a smile. "I can't wait to get to hogwarts" she said smiling "how much longer is the train ride" asked Alice giving yawn, she was shattered getting up early she hated it. But Alice knew she would have to get used to it now school was back on. The sky was certainly darker, not to dark that it was evening, but not light enough to be early. they probally werent even near Hogwarts yet oh well she thought who knows.
"So quidditch" said Alice "are there teams at Hogwarts?".

Penelope thanked Kain for the chocolate frog and opened it carefully, managing to catch the frog before it jumped. She really wished that the frogs weren't so lifelike, eating them almost made her feel guilty. She pulled the card out of her box and looked at it. "Oh I got Salazar Slytherin," she informed, holding the card up for everyone to see.
Right after that was when Kain bit into the grass flavored jelly bean and Pen found herself giggling despite herself.
It amazed Penelope at how relaxed she was feeling in the compartment. Even Draco was being hospitable, well at least by his standards.
She could tell by Alice's voice when she mentioned WADA that things weren't that pleasant for her there, but Penelope wasn't going to pry. Besides, it really wasn't her business unless Alice wished to talk about it.
So instead of questioning Alice, she let the questions drop and turned her attention back to Kain. She forced herself not to smile when Kain woke Draco up.
"I was surprised when I found out that I was picked for head girl, I was sure that it would be Hermione. I'm actually excited about it though. It'll give me a chance to do something important you know." She replied when Kain asked about her being chosen for Head Girl.
She had already known that Draco had been picked for Head boy of Slytherin because that was all her father had talked about when she received her letter. In fact, her father was already planning on throwing a party in Draco's honor.
"Oh we definitely have quidditch at Hogwarts, each house has a team. I've been a chaser on the team for a couple of years now. You should definitely try out if you're interested." Pen replied, smiling at Alice.

Luna opened the door to the compartment and stepped in. Once she sat down, across from Illyanna and Neville, she put the paper down and smiled at them both.
"Hello Illyanna. Hi Neville." she said in her dreamy voice, "My father and I went hunting for heliopaths during break. We thought we saw one but it turned out to be a horse that someone had dyed red. I guess that the Ministry has all of them locked away somewhere." She informed.
Luna was always telling her friends and everyone else about the magical creatures that she and her father were always searching for. It didn't matter to her if they believed in the creatures or not.
"What did you do over break Illyanna?" Neville asked, not knowing what to say to Luna.
