Potterverse discussion

Cartin poked her head into the compartment, then came in and plopped down. Captain, her burrowing owl, was perched on her shoulder.

Tren and Layla were sitting elsewhere.

"Thanks. His name is Captain. Mine is Cartin."

"Ouch, what happened?" Cartin asked, stroking Captain's head.

Cartin took the cue and didn't push."So where ya from? And how old are you?"

"Nifty. What are the States like?"

"Ah. I live in the countryside. It's quiet, but I like it."

"So do you know what house you're in?"

"Ah. I'm in Gryffindor."

"It's a pretty good house. Nice people." She ran a hand through her hair.

"Yeah. Hi." Cartin smiled at Diera and Captain hooted.

"Yeah," Cartin said. "It's a nice bit of history, but to me it's not a huge deal."

"He is, I just have my other interests." She shrugged.

"Yeah, the cart should be coming any minute. I want to get some chocolate frogs."

((Um... I don't know.))

A barn owl suddenly flew into the compartment and landed on the seat next to Meira. A few minutes later a girl appeared in the doorway. "Sorry about that," she said breathlessly. "Noray's always anxious on the train ride."

Saffy stuck her head into a compartment that wasn't completely full. "Do you guys mind if I sit in here?"

((the compartment I'm referring to is the one in which Meira, Cartin, and Diera are sitting.))

She smiled and sat down. "Thanks."

"Sappheire Silver. Everyone calls me Saffy, though. What house are you?"

"Cool. What house do you want to get into?"

"That's a good idea. You don't get much of a choice, anyway. I'm a Ravenclaw."

"They're not that bad, but they're always in the background. Except Cedric Diggory, but he died."

((I have now.))

Saffy shrugged. "They're also a bit notorious for being duffers." She pulled out a daily prophet from her bag and started to read the front page.

She looked at the picture in the paper, then back at Meira. "You're in the paper."

She skipped to the end of the article and looked at the writer's name. "Oh, it's a Skeeter article. I hate that monster."

Her eyes widened. "I would say something kind and comforting, but I have no idea how to respond to that."

"Are you still in therapy, or did the shrinks decide you were sane enough to deal on your own?" her tone was light, but it was tinged with a bit of sadness from memories.

"I guess that's better than complete strangers."

"That stinks, then. At least you're coming to Hogwarts."

Cartin nodded in agreement with Saffy. Layla looked sad and Noray hopped over to Meira.

((Gah!! My moms phone does weird things!!))

Layla smiled slightly, "All right. I'm Layla."

"Nice to meet you, Layla."

"And you. Saffy, right?"

"Yeah." She looked out the window at the quickly moving landscape. "I can't wait until we get there!"

She smiled, "Neither can I."

Court stumbled down the car and bumped into Layla."Sorry," he mumbled.
"It's all right," she said, helping him up.

"Hey Court. What's up?"

"Oh, hey, Saffy." His face brightened."Not much. How are you?"

"I'm fine. I'm finally free from all the muggle politics at home!" She said with a smile.

He smiled slightly, "Yeah, things are getting ridiculous. Is this compartment full?"

She shifted over in her seat to make room. "Not quite."

He walked in and sat down next to her. Layla chirruped and Noray flew to her arm."Well, I better get back to my brother before he eats all the chocolate frogs. See ya in the school." She smiled and left, leaving behind the scent of lilies.

((sorry, I had to go make pudding.))

"See ya." She gazed out the window again, grinning with excitement.

((Candy from the trolly? Candy from the trolly? *muffled scream* *deep voice* Candy from the trolly?))

"Hi," Court said to Meira."I'm Court."

"Glad to meet you, too." Court smiled and rubbed the back of his neck. "Are you from America?"

"'Ave you ever been to Britain before?"

((First roleplay ever!! Please tell me if I'm doing anything wrong... Is mine too long? I don't really know! Sorry!))

The compartment door suddenly banged open. A small figure with a massive halo of red curls toppeled into the already crowded space, breathing heavily.
"...Riot...candy...cart..." Mal panted. "...I got run over... idiot first years... The first minute they get away from their parents, they try to buy out the candy supply!" Pushing herself onto her knees, she negoitated herself through the tangle of legs and animals to the door and stuck her nose out. Her eye's widened at the sight, and she hastily slammed the door. After her breathing returned to normal, she sat back onto her knees. "So," she said conversationally. "I'm Mal."

"Hey Mal."

((Can I join?))

Court smiled, "Hello."

((Can I join?))

((Yeah, of course! Do you have a character?))
