Kimmi's sleek black cat, Kirei, with piercing ice-blue eyes that Kimmi owned since she was 10 jumped out of her arms, and ran through the streets. "Hey! Come BACK!" Kimmi ran after her, dragging Kyle. Their butler was left behind, holding all of their bags and new clothes. The cat hissed at another cat, belonging to a girl that was talking to a boy that was eating every-flavored jelly beans. "Ow, Kimmi, next time, don't pinch me." He was examining his forearm, where pink marks were starting to show. Kimmi rolled her eyes and looked at the two young wizard and witch.

((Did I confuse you yet? Lol xD))

"Likewise, Marionette." Lorelei grinned back, taking the offered hand and giving it a firm shake. Sitting down on at the seat adjacent to Marionette, Lorelei intertwined her fingers together before resting her head atop them. Her fingernails were painted black, with blue flames on top. What was interesting about her choice was that the flames were actually flickering and jumping about like real flames. It probably wasn't out of the ordinary around the two who had grown up in the world of magic, but to those who had never seen magic before, it was very intriguing. More than once Lorelei had caught people openly staring at her nails when she had been looking through various tomes while waiting for the assistant to find her needed books.

"If you don't mind, I'll help you out with getting your stuff back to the bus, or if you're staying somewhere here. I fancy myself pretty strong." Lorelei explained, "At least it would be better than having to lug all of it back yourself."

[psst....ive got all my things. lolz. tad bit late. Me and Papillion are conversing in front of Quality Quidditch Supplies....]

"Ah yes, Drake Scott. Its okay about the cat. Every flavor bean"? Drake held the box out to Lilly. "Oh, sorry", Drake didn't mean to leave out butterfly girl. "This is..."?

((When can we get on to the part with the train/starting hogwarts? I feel that we're spending too much time in Diagon alley xD))

She picked up her cat. "Sorry about that. What are your names?"

(Hopefully soon. :lol: I'm getting confuzled on where everyone is and who's talking with who. :P)

[yea, i agree...that got confusing. haha. well, here we go:)]
The day had went by so fast. Pretty much within a blink of an eye, Drake was standing at Platform 9 3/4, scratching his head. Then he saw a family, and how they got thru. He lined his body up with the pillar, and ran at it. He went through the pillar, and ended up in front of a brilliant red and black train. Pushing his cart up the loading dock, he picked his spot. Putting his luggage on the rack, he sat in his cart. He waitied for the train to start. He was glad he had picked the side of the train not facing the platform. All them eyes looking at him would've made him feel uncomfortable. Putting in his headphones, and turning on his iPhone, he was lost in the world of music.
Drake felt the train lurch forward, and they were off.

Papillon signed in relief when she felt the train move. She had nearly missed it, arriving rather late at the train station. If not for Rai, she would have never even found the platform! That was the nice thing about Rai. He always helped her out with things she needed helping out with and he was very nice... if you were on his good side. Papillon looked around for a rather empty compartment and yet again, she found Drake.
"Bonjour!" Papillon greeted, entering his compartment and sitting down. She put her luggage in the storage. "I hope you don't cair, Miser, but I'm going to sit with you!" She sat down next to him, quite content. The butterfly resting on her shoulder was not so happy. He didn't like the kid at all. However, he didn't like anyone in general, so his hatred was nothing new.

Lorelei couldn't exactly remember what happened for the next few days. After meeting with Marionette, the days seemed to pass by in a blur. The next thing that seemed to happen was her loading her things onto the Hogwarts Express and saying goodbye to her parents. There were hugs, kisses, and encouraging words expressed. This even included her parents saying they had no doubt she'd be Sorted into Slytherin, albeit a little loudly and causing attention, but Lorelei took it all in stride. Finding an empty room, she put her carry-on luggage onto the overhead compartment and then sat down near the window. It was facing the platform, so she craned her neck every which way to see if her parents were anywhere. Seeing them, she gave a wave as the train lurched forward, a big smile on her face when her parents waved back. Her mother threw a few kisses into the mix, making Lorelei giggle. Really, despite all their wealth, they still acted like normal parents...just don't let them know that!

Becoming comfortable in her seat, she pulled out a book to pass the time. She sat straight with one leg crossed over the other at the knee. Today the upper portion of her hair was pulled back into a ponytail, some escaping the binding to fall about her face and frame it along with her bangs. The rest fell down her back in curls, Lorelei having gotten up and deciding she wanted to add some flair. Her clothing comprised of a cream-colored cashmere sweater and dark denim jeans. Leather boots with a bit of a heel zipped up to just above her ankle.

The train ride was relatively peaceful, only marred by people slamming room doors shut or yelling down the hallway at a friend they hadn't seen all summer. Lorelei didn't really know anyone and felt a little shy about suddenly walking into another conversation. She had been hoping that someone would come into the room she had occupied, but so far there had been no one. Oh well, there would be plenty of time to make friends with everyone. Maybe she'd even see Marionette again and they'd be Sorted into the same House. The girl had been very nice.

After exchanging many air-kisses and hugs with their celebrity parents and their many friends, Kimmi and Kyle were ready to board the train and get to Hogwarts. It was refreshing to get away from their real life and live in something new for once. Their luggage was taken and put into the storage area, and they sat down in an empty compartment. "I wonder what Hogwarts will be like..." Kimmi trailed off. Kyle mumbled, "Hopefully with lots of good-looking girls."

((T3T so Kyle's a player xD))

(I just wanted to let you guys know, that I was changing something on my profile. ^^" Instead of muggle-born, Papillon is half-blood. From her father. Only because of her funky hair and eye colors though. They're actually natural... just wanted to let you guys know! And yes, Kyle is. But everybody needs a player at their school. XD It spices things up.)

Drake took out a headphone as the butterfly girl stepped in.
"I dont care." Drake said. The trolley came by, and Drake bought Every Flavor Beans and a Bubble Gum Wand. Munching on his treats, he put his headphone back in, and took in the sight. The were passing by a mountain now.

Papillon bought a box of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans and a couple dozen Chocolate Frogs. The girl was rather fond of the little frogs. Though she unknowingly ate them rather unusual. She first bit off their legs and little arms before biting off the head and finally eating the rest.
"Wow... Papillon, that's a little um... gruesome... isn't it?" Rai asked from his perch ontop of her head. Papillon ignored him however and held one of the frogs out for Drake to take.

Drake took the frog, and started muching on it.
"So, you excited"? Drake sure was. He didn't know what to expect. They were passing a village and some woods now. It was getting darker. The train was nice and warm, and Drake was comfy. Rides put him to sleep, and Drake felt tired. He yawned, stretched, and then settled back into his seat.

Papillon nodded. "Oui, I am. It should be great! Rai went there for a year. He was a Slytherin, I think." she explained, motioning the butterfly resting on her shoulder now. She looked at him. "Right?"
Rai mentally sighed. "I was..."
"Yep! See? He was!" Papillon smiled. She didn't really realize that being in Slytherin was somwhat considered a bad thing. Those Slytherins weren't always the nicest people...

The train was slowing down now. Drake could see lights off in the distance. Some older student came in the compartment and told them to start putting on their uniform. Grabbing his luggage, Drake put on his white shirt, vest, black tie, and robe. He was told they could wear their jeans and shoes.
"Leave your luggage, they'll find their way to your dorms later", the older student told them.
Drake found himself into a horse and buggy. Papillon sat next to him. The drivers waited until all students got into a buggy before they took off. Drake saw they were headed toward the lights in the distance.

[hello?]

(Sorry, I'm a little grounded right now and I might have large times where I can't reply right away, but I'll try)

Kimmi and Kyle had taken off their street clothes and redressed in a few seconds, and now were smoothing down the wrinkles in their robe while sitting in a buggy to themselves.

[[where is everyone? O.o]]

[i know! im gonna start kicking people off if they dont start posting!]

Drake waited as they grew closer to what looked like a huge mountain looming in the distance.
Wait..that isn't a mountain.....
"Welcome to Hogwarts", the driver said.



It was huge! Towers jutting out everywhere, lights gleaming, and a forest in the background. This was his new school.
The buggy found its way to the entrance.

Liylecia sighed, she was, once again already in the great hall because of her parents. They had 'arranged' for her to take a port key into school. She sighed and looked over her shoulder again, bbefore pulling off her tie and tiying her hair. Her hair swung in a pony-tail. She wished her parents wern't so protective. "Haruheta." She complained in japenese "Why me?" She whined and shook her hair and leaning backwords over the chair. She looked up at the teachers.

Drake had entered the Great Hall with the other students. Professor M said that they were doing the sorting?
They had gathered at the front, and Professor M had ordered them to file into a line. Looking over his shoulder, Drake had noticed he was first in line...
Great...
Professor M brought out a stool, and a hat. She had motioned Drake up to the front, and he sat on the stool. Placing the had on his head, the Professor stepped back....
The had muttered something....
All eyes were on Drake....
"GRYFFINDOR!" The table on the end burst into applause as Drake took the hat off. Sitting at the table, Drake watched as the others got sorted.

Liy clapped slightly as the seats were seats next to her were filled with the other older students. She knew that the kid would be better off in gryffindor than slytherin just by looking at him. She noticed a couple of asians and nodded. They on the other had were slytherin material.

Whispers, giggles, and the occasional finger pointing welcomed the young Gil Geller and his mother, who'd just insisted on taking him directly to Hogwarts herself. No other student's parents had walked them there and waited for their sorting to begin. And as surely as the other children were probably snickering at the boy, the boy took no notice at all. On the contrary! He stood in line with a huge smile on his face. But the boy was an oddity in himself. Even visually. It looked as though he'd bought every possible Hogwarts (particularly Gryffindor)-themed accessory and decided to wear them all simultaneously. You see, he'd been reading the pamphlet and to him, it seemed the best house out of them all was House Gryffindor, and surely he'd be sorted into the best! Scarlet and gold with the lion as its mascot, bravery and chivalry, and so many powerful wizards that came out of it, which one could compare? Sure Slytherin was ambitious and Ravenclaw had intelligence, but dark wizards and scientists? Hah! Nothing like the noble Lion with their sword of Gryffindor and their long history of championship. There was another house too... Puffy-something. The only thing he could really remember about it was that it had a badger as its mascot.

And now it was finally his time to be sorted.

He stamped his foot and gave a triumphant yell, causing anyone who hadn't been paying attention to turn, perhaps dumbfounded and stare. And then he marched over to the chair, pulled the sorting hat down below his chin, so that his entire head was engulfed in the thing.

"Hm... let's see... This one is... interesting", said the hat in Gil's mind, "Well first off, you're not Ravenclaw material. We can rule that out right off the bat. Not Slytherin either, I dare say. You've plenty of bravery, and I can see you may wish for something else, but... I think that where you would shine most is... ironically..."

At this point, the hat announced aloud, "Hufflepuff!"

His mother's camera snapped a picture, and the hat was taken off his head. He looked stunned, dazed almost, as he waddled over to his mother and looked down at the floor, eyebrows knit. Well, she didn't know what to do! To be so disappointed by his placement... She put a hand on his back, as if to comfort him, but he suddenly looked up at her and said in all seriousness, "I'm going to need a badger... a dozen badgers! Well... at least five badgers!"

His mother teared up and threw her arms around her son before being escorted away by various miffed wizards.

Nai-So Watched the other kids get sorted and clutched her bag. She was worried. Finally she was called forward. Sitting down she looked around. The hat was placed on her head and almost immediatly it screamed, "Ravenclaw!" Staggring she stood and walked over to the Ravenclaw table. Noticing a girl over at theslytherin table clapping.

Liy clapped her hands along with the rest of the room. Her eyes darted over to the girl who had just sat down. Nao-So Jung, huh? Interesting.
