Oliver began chattering, attempting to answer their questions, though unsuccessfully. In times like these he wished his animagus form was a parrot or some other animal that could talk, or at least convey a message. This form had its perks to but really none of them would really be that helpful until he graduated. For now it seemed he would just have to turn back into his human form.

The raptor shook, it's feather shedding and turning to dust before vanishing entirely. After a short time Oliver, the human, sat in its place. A few feathers still clung in his hair as he grinned at his friends. [color=7bcdc8]"Its a Bearded vulture."[/color] he concluded simply. [color=7bcdc8]"Actaully transforming did take very long to learn, all the animagus theory and rules are what take the longest. It only took me about a month to really get the hang of it."[/color] really he was still trying to work out the transformation bit, it never felt quite right, not to mention that he'd not figured out how to fly yet.

[color=7bcdc8]"Raptors are like big lizards, Muggles are scared they'll come back from the dead and eat them or something. It's really weird."[/color] he said casually, [color=7bcdc8]"My mom used to love muggle films about things like that-"[/color]

Suddenly the lights went out and the entire train was cloaked into darkness. Screams could be heard from rooms nearby as younger students were plunged into terror. [color=7bcdc8]"lumos"[/color]Oliver whispered as he crept toward the door, his wand glowing softly. footsteps could barely be heard over the noise, thudding down the corridor until the last scream stopped.

All ears were met with a strange silence. Peering around he caught sight of a small square of paper near his foot. He examined the cars flipping it over as he picked it up. Squinting he could just barely make out the golden lettering [color=7bcdc8]"Dearest students of Hogwarts,"[/color] he stuttered, struggling to make out the words in the dim light. [color=7bcdc8]"if you endeavor to join our cause come to the shrieking shack on the first visit to Hogsmead. All will be explained there."[/color] He paused for a moment in disbelief. [color=7bcdc8]"signed the Cloaks”[/color]

Raising his wand from the paper he looked towards his friends questioningly.
