Train Hall

Marie stepped onto the Hogwart's Train. She was going to be in her fourth year even though it was only her second year at Hogwarts. She went down the hall trying to find a cart. Maybe Draco was already on, or maybe not. She went on still trying to find her own cart.

Marie heard someone start singing in another language. "Thats odd. She went back up to the front of the train where the sound was coming from. She looked into the second cart to see a young boy with dirty blond hair sitting there looking mainly bored. She stepped in.

After a long goodbye from his family, including a punch in the arm from his nine year old sister, Leon goes down the Train Hall. In a few hours he'd be a fourth year, something his family kept pressing him on, mainly because he was getting 'older and wiser.' Leons blond hair wasn't in a ponytail right now, and looked slightly long yet short in it's own way, and his three scars that he had gotten in his first year was a mark in which Leon himself honored. Leon walked down the Hall and then into the fourth cart, he didn't want to be bothered at the moment, maybe the goodbye was a little too much for him.

Leon was rather bored as he walked down the train hall, he had like last year and that dementor problem, things were exciting then. He was about to pass the second cart he heard something about a prince being there.


Josh stood in hte hall, extremly bored.He heard students talking in carts but didnt want to interupt.He walked dwon hte hallway

Josh heard fighting and walked to the last cart stood outside it and then walked away.
He started to sing again, it was a happy song.

Josh changes song and sings a dacing fast song.He starts to dnce to the song with out realizing it

He continues to sing but he had heard some one else come into the hallway

"Is someone singing in here?" Hermione asks softly, not wanting to disturb the song.

Josh ingores her completly lostin singing

Watches him sing and dance, a curious look on her face.

He stops seeing there was another person."Oh um..sorry"He runs back to his cart

Hermione is startled by the strange cations of this person, but goes back into the first compartment.

Cart One:

"god, will you two be quiet, i'm going to go insane here if you don't stop. please, i mean you have known eachother for 4 years." casie said

"only if she apoligizes first!"

cassie sighed "i'm just in the middle of this trying to help, but it won't work."

"You apologize!"

Leon sighed as he looked at Ron, "Ron, shut up for a second, Hermione," which he guessed was the girls name, "Be who you are, and again, Ron, quit complaining," he said getting up. "I see that I have overstayed my welcome and your waiting for Harry and all, so, I'll just be going now," Leon said and then left the cart.

cassie just looked confused. "hey there's harry" she was looking out the window

"oh, wait, that's not him. sorry" cassie said

Ron wathvhes him go and looks at hermione"Now look what you did!"

Hermione sighs. "I'm sorry, Ron."

"now ron, say your sorry" cassie said

Ron looked at Hermione"OK, Sorry Hermione"

"I wonder what that thing is, the secret that will happen this year. Remember, your dad was saying something?"

Ron lookd at her"Im not usre really"

"Have you seen Harry?"

Ron stared at her"Nope..Do you guys hears soomthn?"

Hermione cocks her head and listens. "No,
what is it, Ron?"

Ron stares"It sounds like singing"

"Singing? I think so. It's very quiet. Who would be singing on the train?"

Ron shriges"Crazy person mabey?"

"Let's see who it is, then."

He laughs"You see, i know what happens when u mess with crazy ppl"

Hermione glares at him. "Let's see who it is, they changed the song."

Ron shifts"No u look"

"Well, if you aren't going to, fine." Hermione goes into the hall.

Hermione comes back, looking very puzzled.

ron stares at her as she comes in"Um..you ok hermione?"

"Of course, Ron. That boy... he was a little weird. He was dancing."

ron laughs at the tought"What boy in his right mind would dance?"

Just then a knock came at the door.

"Ron, just because you don't like dancing..." Hermione starts, then goes over to open the door.

Chelsey looks at Hermione and gasps."Your Hermione No?!I'm like a fan to you!!Then a white unicorn stands beside Chelsey.

Ron stares at her and then looks at Hermione"It aint natural, dancing in the hallway and what was he dancing too?"

"Um, hi.." Hermione says, flustered. "Come in... he was dancing to his singing."

Chelsey walks in and sits down.The white unicorn walks in as well and lays down next to her."Who are you talking about?

"The boy that was just out singing in the hall."

"But Who is he?"ron starts to get frustrated

"His name is Josh an elf like me!She moves a bit of her hair to Reviel pointy ears.

"Wow, an elf? Is that like house elves but bigger?"

"umm...elfs can go to hogwarts?" cassie asked

Yes they can..if they couldn't the guards would kick us off the tairn....Chelsey said still peting her white unicorn.

"....ok...." was all cassie said

Cart Two:

"I want to get there as soon as possible, only real time I truely liked the ride over to Hogwarts was when that dementor was on the train, it was an eventful year," Leon said with a laugh as he looked up again. His hawk had been pecking him the whole time he alked to Chelsey and it was getting annoying. "Don't make me grill you," Leon said to his hawk who quickly started flaping it's wings. Of course this was a joke, though it was funny to see.


Josh finally finds what he had been lookn for
It was the dagger, the blade its self was a 1ft and half, with a green emerald on hte hilt, it had rune markings n it and glowed a soft green.He stars into the emerald completly lost in thought

"I'll be right back, I believe I left something in my previous cart," Leon said as he felt that his jacket was lighter. He got up and left the cart.

Marie let out an almost silent snore as she shifted. Throught the conversation she had lost interest and thus fallen asleep, she would most likely sleep through the rest of the trip. She snuggled up to the side of the seet to get warmer. She made a small cooing sound and her hair fell into her face. She struggled unsucessfully to push it back an went back into her sleep.

Josh saw that she had falln asleep, he left the cart not wanting to disturb her, and walked down the hall.

Marie was awoken by the sound of someone leaving. Her eyes cracked opent o see that all of the poeple had just seemed to dissapear. It had went from a full cart to an empty one. She yawned and streatched. It was only a little lonely but she was use to it so she just stayed and poked playfully at her weasle who was still in his cage.

Marie listened as Josh began singing in the hall, she knew it was him because of his voice and the fact that ha had been singing when she met him. She smiled, that song he was singing was happy and reminded her of her mother. She remembered a song she had sung to her when she was little. 'Green is the forest, and bright is the sun. Grey is the stone, and as dull as the moon. When your in doubt, just follow the sound. The river will carry you, never look back.' She looked out the window towards the country. Ah yas lovely was that song. Without her noticing she had begun humming it while watching the passing scenery.

Josh comes running back in and sits down.

"Oh hello, Josh." Marie smiled. "I heard you singing out there. Can you sing me a song? One in English so I can understand." She leaned forward, not knowing if he would actually sing for her or not. He had such a lovely singing voic. She noticed that he had yet to take off his silver headpiece. It really was quite dashing on him.

He started to sing for her in english, having a little trouble translating.It was a song about a lost love.

Marie listened and almost once again fell asleep, but she had already had a nap and was able to listen to the whole thing. It was beutiful really and she never took her eyes off of Josh the whole time he was singing. She hoped that didn't embarass him.

Josh smiled as he finished singing.He looked at her happy that he could please her"Do u want to hear another one?"

"If you would, I've never heard anyone who could sing like that." She smiles for a moment but hears someone say something loudly from another cart, although she couldn't tell who it was. "If they would keep it down." She giggled. "That reminds me, I never asked what house your going to be in, or are you gonna have to wait 'til you get to Hogwarts to find out. Thats what I had to do last year." She looked up for a moment and her smiled droped a little. "Last year was my first year here, too."

He smiled"Yah, im in Ravenclaw, not sure if thats a good thing"He smiled and took off his crown

Marie poked out her lip playfully. "Why is it not a good thing." She points to herself. "I'm in Ravenclaw, too." She smiled, but it quickly dropped. "But I wish i had gotten into Slitherin....." She looked at the floor in between the seats with a sigh.

he looks confused"How many houses are there?"

Marie smiled once again. "Well there are four. There's Griffendor, for the brave. And Ravenclaw, for the wise. Hufflepuff, for the hard workers, and Slitherin, for the acheivers. Oh, how I wish I could have gone to Slitherin......" Her smiled dissapeared again. If she had gotten into Slitherin her father would maybe be happy, and maybe if she wasn't a.....a mudblood....Draco would talk to her again.

He frowned"Why was i put in Ravenclaw?"he asked himself.he stares out hte window.He silently sings a song of confusion in the heart

"Maybe you are just a truley wise person." She smiled brightly and brought Morider back out. He squeeked and nuzzeled himself around her neck. "Personaly, I love Ravenclaw, loads of nice people. My friend Cho is even on the Ravenclaw Quidditch team." She let out a heavy breath. "But Daddy wated me to be in Slitherin."

He looked at her and smiled "But is that where you wanted to be put?"

Marie sighed and became suddenly interested in a broken stick in the seat. "Well I want to make Daddy happy."
Then the train started slowing. "It's time to go." She said with a smile as she heard the voice. "You'll positively love it here."

Cart Three:

Chelsey walked in and looked to see if anyone was there."Okay no one is here good."She started to put the belt on her waist and made it to not slip off her waist."There."The belt stayed on and the bladefans didn't fall off her belt.

Kamari ran into the cart, her bags rushiling like made. "Oh! Just made it! Sorry, I'll be joining you unless thats a problum." She put her bags onto the shelf above the seats and sat down.

Leon walked into the third cart and saw that there was someone in it. "For crists sake, is there an empty cart??" he yelled out, but knowing that this had the least people in it, he had no choice but to sit down. He looked out the window and sighed again.

When Leon felt a jolt as the train stoped he sighed and left the cart. Odd that the snack cart hadn't come, but at least Leon would get to be at the feast...

Awoken by the jolt, Sean uncurls from the small ball he was sleeping in, gives an exagerated stretch, and stumbles groggly towards the grounds of Hogwarts.

Cart Four:

Becky balled her hands into fists, and stood up suddenly once again (as it is now, a sort of.. bad habit) "oh i'm sick of Harry Potter getting all the adventures! I want a peice of the action too! This time, i'm getting in on the fun! Who's with me?!" she looked to the others in the compartment who seemed, rather bored and weary, apparently, her excitement hadn't had any affect on them.

Leon stood up and raised his fist in the air, "I agree!! We need a piece of the bloody action!! Potter, your not the only one who gets the adventures!!" With this new enflamed passion, Leon felt like doing something that might be rash or very creative, but it was just going to aste again.

Chelsey jumps up"Yay!I'm so bored just watching Harry having all the fun!!"She then took her bladefans out and spins around with them almost hits some of the passengers on board."Opps!!Anna:Watch where your pointing that thing!!Anna:Your gonna kill us all before we could even have an adventure here!!

Leon managed to get one small cut from the blade fan, but then all three of his scars appeared, the magic wore off. Leon didn't notice of course, not able to see his own face without a mirror. "Might want to be carful with that," he said, still standing.

Chelsey looked at Leon's face and freack out."I'm so sorry I didn't mean to cut your face!!I'm so so so sorry!!!"She puts her weapons away and looks at Leons face.

"What? It's just one small scratch," Leon said as he touched the small mark that was slowly bleeding. Leon smiled a bit though, he couldn't help but show some sign of graditude twords the girl.

"No your face it has three cut marks i'm so sorry!!

"Three?" Leon said as he found the three marks on his face, the three that he had gotten on his first year. "Oh, those, um, you dodn't do anything, er, think that small slash might have done someting," he remarked. Leon sat down and sighed, "I got them on my first year, no need to worry, I just had used magic to hide them."

Chelsey sighs in reielf and sits down looking out the window waiting to get to hogwarts."..........................................

Becky just sat down and watched the two conversate excitedly. Once again feeling a bit left out, she observed Chelsey sit down. With a small chuckle, she smiled. She was such a jealous person, yet, it never ate her up like jealousy was so infamous for. Still watching the passengers, she came up with an idea, "alright, if we're gonna do anything this year, we need a plan!" she slammed a fist into the palm of her other hand, "what do you say?! any suggestions?"

"Fire Whiskey!!" Leon shouted out with a laugh. "Oh wait, um, we can try and find secret rooms in Hogwarts!" Leon added and then smiled. "Do you have any idea's Becky?"

"Kill Harry Potter!!"Chelsey makes a evil luagh and looks at both of them."Sorry got carried away!!"She then pets Anna.

"That was a little overboard," Leon said with a raised eyebrow at Chelsey but then laughed a little. "So, back to you Miss Becky, any ideas? I'm curious to know them if you have any."

Chelsey looks out the window and thought she saw Hogwarts but she just saw a mountain."........................Anna:Will get there soon Chelsey just wait..."Chelsey sighed and petted Anna."Anna you can turn to your big form now."she said smiling.Anna:Huh...really I can?"Chelsey luaghed and nodded."Yes you can turn to youe big form now.Anna:Yay!!"Anna got up,her horn glowed, then her whole body glowed,Anna disappeared for a minute then reappeared Anna's hair sparkled,her fur was pure white and her horn turned to a sliver color."Anna:I feel much better now!"Anna was much bigger than before and she layed back down in a happy way now.

Becky raised a finger to her lips, "well, i say we make friends with Mr.Potter," she paused, winking, "we won't leave his side," she leaned forward towards Leon, "haven't you ever noticed, that Harry doesn't go to danger? The danger comes to him! If we're with him, we're with danger." she leaned back and smiled, her finger left her lips into a fist, "besides, I hear he's a really nice guy." she turned to Chelsey, "what do you guys think?"

Chelsey nods with a smile on her face and pets Anna."Anna:I sence were almost there.....

"I'd feel somewhat insulted if a whole cart of kids were talking about killing me," Natalia said with a playful grin. She laughed and shook her head. "I hope we get there soon..." she said with a wistful sigh. "I'm tired of sitting here..."

Chelsey looked at her confused."Who said were going to kill you?Anna:I didn't here anyone say that....."

Natalia laughed and shook her head. "You misunderstood me. I meant that if I were that Potter kid, I'd feel uncomfortable with a cart of kids talking about me," she said. "I speak abstractedly, sorry," she added with a smirk. With that, she turned her gaze back to the rushing landscape beneath her window.

Chelsey luaghs and pets Anna."Are we there yet?"

Becky looked out the window frowning, both upset and sick of waiting to see the big stone castle, "apparently we're not."

Chelsey falls asleep becuase she was bored to death.

"I think we better get into our robes soon." Moonah said while she pulled on her robes. "I suppose I have to go check the corridors, I really should have done it sooner probably." After saying this she pinned on a shiny prefects badge and walked out of the doorway.

"Well then it looks like we shall befriend Mr. Potter," Leon said as he sat back and yawned, "Then danger will come to us and a real adventure will start!" Leon looked out the window soon after to try and see the castle, the sight from the train was always interesting to see, a little breath taking.....

Becky pat Charter on the head, things were finally going to get interesting this year.

"So what might be Mr. Potter's adventure this year? Think it has to do with Voldermort?" Leon asked out, not afraid to say the dark lords name out loud, well, unless a teacher was around.

Becky looked up, "since when do you say his name?" she stuck her nose up in the air smuggly, "i thought cowards weren't allowed to speak his name."

"Oh, that was harsh mate," Leon said to Becky with a smile. "Lets see, I started to use it since I heard it," Leon commented with a laugh. "I don't hear you saying Voldermort, are you a coward yourself?"

Becky faced Leon, brushing her hair from her face, she spoke with a sultry kind of tone that no one had heard from her before, "Of course i'm not a coward. I prefer not to disgrace myself by saying such a name that remind all who know it of filth. I hold myself much higher than that." Her eyes were directed to his sharply, and she did not break the glare. She awaited his answer with elegant paitience.

"Well miss, we obviously see different sides of things, for He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named is still known to people. I say his name because, none the less, he is a person who must be rememberd, strike fear in people so they can no what not to do and end up like You-Know-Who," Leon said in a strict tone, as if the matter were very serious.

Becky countered with the same sultry voice, "Firstly, to be scared of a thing as simple as a name, is ridiculus. And I do disagree with your theory, there are many people in this world who would be honored to end up like that man." Becky squinted, "And also, that man, has no right to be remembered whethor or not for his deeds or the person he has become, not after all he has done." Becky looked down, "This generation may not soon forget him, but the next generation never has to know." Her voice died away and once again she looked up.

Leon looked out the window and sighed, thinking about everything. "Then the peole who would be honored to be him, should not be here, and be placed in Azkaban," he said with a sigh. Leon was obviously thinking of that matter and of something else that moment, maybe something that had nothing to do with the Voldermort issue.

Becky turned to Charter who was still on her lap. She pet him uneasily, may-be meddling in Harry Potter's business with Voldemort was wrong. Perhaps the whole idea of chasing around adventure and danger was pitiful and a waste of time. She said nothing though, her mind to clouded with confusing conflicts to say another word.

With another sigh, Leon got up and walked out of the cart without a word, as if something very depressing had happened.

Becky watched him go, not doing anything to stop him. With glazed eyes, she looked down to Charter, "wait... don't leave.." she whispered under her breath. The cat looked up at her and stared unceasingly. Becky immediatly turned away and looked out the window, leaning her head against the glass, she listened to the wheels of the train hit the metal tracks. Her mind racing, "there I go again, pushing people away." she closed her eyes, and let herself dose.

Gracy walked of the train and looked around with releaf that she didn't haft to be with her disceminating fother. Qwynevaer was purched on her shoulder.

Madeleine walked of the train and looked around exsited to start a new year.

There is a jolt and the train slows to a stop. A voice can be heard through the train. "Please exit onto the Hogwart's Grounds!!"

Back to Hogwart's Halls of Mystery
