"I'm a natural for attention. Think it's to do with my hair." She scrunched up her nose and it turned briefly, briefly red. XD "... Not the right color but okay." She shrugged and it changed back to flat brown.

Ooc: Sorry, I was thinking of my other charrie when I wrote it xD

Michael already had his robes on, he'd put them on at the very start of the journey.

Michelle said, "Each to their own." She told a few more students to get dressed into their robes, and took a quick look out the window. "We're nearly there, and that's the lot, thank goodness. Everyone else is dressed already."

Nashira shrugged. "He's always like that, it's nothing personal."

Wendy sighed. "I know. I feel sorry for you, being related to him." She paused and then shook her head. "So, do you have any hopes as to what house you'll be sorted in?"

[Miranda_]

"Well, my dad's family were all in Slytherin, but my mum's family are mostly in Ravenclaw," Nashira replied. "So either one of those would be good. Draven would freak if I got into Slytherin, cuz he wouldn't be able to avoid me then."

Wendy sniggered. "Would serve him right. My mum came here from somewhere else. She doen'st like to talk about it." Wendy rolled her eyes. "She'll talk about everything else, though; she's like me in that aspect, at least."

The Hogwarts Express was slowing down, coming into the station. The sky was a cloudy grey overhead, and a few drops of rain fell. The gamekeeper Ogg was calling out, "First years this way!" on the platform; the first years were to traditionally travel accross the lake in rowboats to get to the castle.

Lined up by the platform were the carriages for the second years and above. These were pulled by Thestrals; skeletal black winged horses which were invisible to all but those who had seen death, which was very few of the Hogwarts students. Draven was one who could see the Thestrals, and he shuddered every time he had to pass them.

Draven had been made to sit by his grandfather's deathbed as a ten year old, so he had been able to see the Thestrals ever since his first day at Hogwarts.

Leela made sure there were no more students on the train before getting on a carriage herself. Being unable to see Thestrals, she didn't think anything of the oddness (if there really was anything odd) about the carriages apparently moving themselves around.

[spirit_queen]

Wendy said goodbye to Nashira and wished her luck, then she, too, boarded a carriage. She couldn't see the Thestrals either.

[Miranda_]

Draven shivered as a Thestral turned to face him, staring at him with a blank white eye. He got into the carriage and sat at the back, as far away from the skeletal horse as possible. Dulce got in, too.

Nashira went with the other first years down to the lake with Ogg. As soon as the carriages were full, they started off down the road towards the castle.
