She yawned when her ears were scratched before putting her head back down. She transformed back and when she did she had a grimace on her face. "I am not the best at it. I am an animagus. But I have not perfected the art so sometimes it hurts or there are things that don't change back properly. She didn't notice her eyes were still those of the dog. "Yeah I am sure that his pride wouldn't let him admit it. Though there could always be the opposite where he beat her and would happily brag." She looked out. "From here I would guess that Salem is about a third the size of that. It is truly amazing castle."

Kitten looked at teddy who was in another compartment not with disdain but with curiosity. "You wouldn't happen to be a lupin would you? You look just like the old photos I have of a Remus Lupin. My Transfiguration instructor was a lupin and told me that Remus lupin married someone very special and she loved running around with Crazy Blue and pink hair. Said she was a Metamorphmagus."

Juneberry continued to look out the window as she said "I'm not too good with those kinds of spells. I tried one that changed my hair to purple but now i cant figure out how to get it back to what it used to be. Though i never asked for help to change it back...i quite like it. As for our headmaster's i say one day we make it our mossion to have those two do a duel so we can know for sure." Then she looked at Kaitlyn excitedly. "Oh, what house do you think you will get accepted into? Are you familiar with the four houses at Hogwarts?"

A smile formed on his face, and he nodded," yep, that's me, I'm his and the special person's son. I also have my moms ability of Metamorphmagus, hint the blue hair. You said that you went to the American school? That's cool, didn't know I had any relatives there." He looked at Juneberry, with a small smile. He didn't know her very well, but he knew who she was and who she was related to.

"Actually no. I have no idea about the houses except that they are named after the founders of the school Helga Hufflepuff, Godric Griffindor, Salazar slytherin, and Ms. Ravenclaw her first name escapes me unless it is Rowena." She was curious "What about you? what house are you? And we should probably change into our uniforms." She stated realizing how close they were.

Looking at teddy again. "I am Kaitlyn Dusk But someone has told me to say i am Kaitlyn Black."

John watched as the majestic towers of Hogwarts came into view, and his lips curled into a smile. This place was his home away from home, where he had so many good memories. He stood up and grabbed his robes, then brushed past Teddy to get into the boys changing room. He smiled and waved at Juneberry, who was talking to Teddy. While he wasn't great friends with her, he'd met her a few times and his parents were good friends with his mother so they had spoken on occasion. He quickly changed and came pack into the compartment and sitting down, stowing his muggle clothes in his trunk.

Samantha looked out the window and spotted the biggest and most magical place to ever visit, hogwards. A smile formed in her face looking at the others. "We are almost here guys!" She smiled at them looking at John. "Arent ya excited for this year? I cant wait to see you guys play in the Quiddish game! It will bs so fun. I will definelty cheer for you guys." She smiled clapping with excitement. "But mainly the ones in the Gryffindor!" Samantha giggeled running a hand through her hair bitting her bottom lips and looking back at the hogwards.

Juneberry just noticed that she was talking to another boy who came in from a different compartment. "Oh. Hello." she said smiling at Teddy. "Sorry, i must have been spacing out, and i didnt even notice you were in here...even though i was talking to you." she giggled, a bit embarassed that she was caught being an airhead again. Her compartment door was open as well was the adjacent one and she saw everyone inside there smiling and having fun. "You guys, you saw the school too didnt't you?" she called out to them. She waved to the Weasly boy, John. She had met him a few times before since their parents were all buddies. She stood up and fished into her suitcase to pull out a camera and hang it around her neck. "We all need to take a picture to celebrate the start of a new year." She pulled Kaitlyn by her arm and Teddy as well and they crammed into the other compartment with John, Juliette, and Samantha.

"Okay we only get to do this once so make sure your faces all look nice." she said to them as she squeezed them together and sat in the middle, slightly sitting on top of Kitten in the process. She held the camera out as far as her arms would go and smiled as everyones pets came to join in as well. "Okay on the count of three say...say....Stupefy! ...oh but dont take out your wands! That would be bad.... okay! one....twoooo....three!!"

"Stupefy!"

"Whoa." was all she could say as she was pulled into the other compartment for a photograph. She looked at the others "Nice to meet you all." She sat rather still she had a cute girl in her lap and plenty of people around her. On two she began the transformation and howled when everyone else said "Stupefy." She then licked Teddy's ear.

Juneberry snapped the picture and just before it flashed, Kitten changed into her wolf form and made June lose her balance. She leaned kind of sideways as the camera flashed and she giggled. She was leaning against a furry pillow and there was no doubt in her mind that the picture was going to come out goofy looking. "Well, that one's going to be the best picture ever. I just know it." She said quietly, smiling. The camera had film that she had to wait to get developed but she was excited to see how the year would go by with her new found friends. Well, some of them were new and some of them were aquaintences, but in her mind she knew this school year at least...she would not be alone. If she worked hard and got to know everyone here, they could be the best group of young witched and wizards ever.

Teddy chuckled as he was shoved into the picture, laughing as the flash went off, his eyes only partially open. He let out another laugh and rubbed Kitten's head as he was licked then he stood up, grabbing his robes aswell. He said," be back in a second. Make sure you all hurry and change! Were almost their!" He quicklyed hopped into the men's changing room and changed quickly, adjusting his clothes and tie. He then nodded, satisfied with his appearance, adjusting his own hair style very slightly until it fit his wishes then he stepped out, storing his pervious clothes in his luggage.

Typical.
Just typical. Juliette had fallen asleep - lulled into dreams by the steady puffing of the steam engine of the Hogwarts Express - and it was only the jolt to a stop that finally forced her awake. She leapt out of her seat, yawning and grabbed her robes, hurrying away to change into them. She pulled them on quickly and shoved her normal clothes back into her luggage, some dark brown locks springing free of its ponytail. Blinking, she remembered to dig out her remembrall and reposition it into the folds of her robes. Of course, it was still clouded bright red and she rolled her eyes. Couldn't it turn a different colour now?
She headed back to the compartment, where the other were and found herself glimpsing out the windows at the towering turrets of Hogwarts. A load of them - some from another compartment - were snapping pictures and Juliette grimaced, edging into the background. She was a little camera shy as she often found her clumsiness caught in film, but she smiled at the others, who seemed very excited.
Yet another year was about to begin.

Skylar had never fallen asleep, she wouldn't dare while sitting with the Slytherins. She didn't think the guys who she had spent the train ride with would do her any harm but she wasn't about to take her chances. A little disappointed with the lack of reaction from them concerning the sabotage of Gryffindor house, she had fallen silent and remained a spectator for the entirety of the ride. Here or there she added a comment or laughed at a joke, but her mind was preoccupied with the up coming year.

As the train pulled into the station, and Hogwarts faded into view, Sky had only one thing on her mind. The Chamber of Secrets. It was obvious she couldn't skip out on the opening feast, but afterwards she would have to pay it a visit to check in with its tenants. Just thinking about it sent a shiver down her spine.

The train screeched to a halt as Hogwarts loomed in the distance. He quickly changed in the train compartment because growing up with six brothers smothered any sense of modesty in the crib. He grabbed his trunk down from the luggage rack, hoped that Pluto wouldn't get stuck on the train as it went back to London, and began forcing his way through the throng of witches and wizards making their way off of the train. He saw the Gryffindor beaters stepping out of a compartment, so he made sure to edge just a bit closer to the wall so he would have a chance to “accidentally” step on one of their feet. He knew he would be able to take out the majority of his frustration when Gryffindor and Slytherin played, but he couldn't resist this chance at a little malice.

As Weasley stepped out, Lonan stretched his foot just a bit further forward than was needed and the edge of his foot landed right on Weasley's foot. He fake apologized, which was another of the myriad skills one was forced to acquire with so many brothers, and saw the rest of the Slytherin team stepping towards the entrance. He had a busy night ahead of him. He had too much food to eat, prefects to bribe out of the common room, some smuggled liquor to pick up, some smuggled liquor to drink, and hopefully his night cap would be luring Zelda back to his bed with him. Some people might think that sleeping with someone on the team could interfere with the chemistry should something unforeseen happen, but Lonan wasn't concerned. They had flirted their entire fourth year and fooled around when they were both too drunk and had almost won the Quidditch Cup last year, so sleeping with her could only be a good thing.

The O.W.L.S that he would have to take were a tertiary concern at that point. There was a Quidditch Cup to win.

They spent the next hour talking about Quidditch and parties Nicholas woulve missed. He's not much of a party goer unlike Lonan, which might probably account for his bad dancing skills and his unconventional taste for music that seem to range only from a number of unheard indie bands and Opera music. It's not that he hates it or anything, hell you can be damn sure he loves the attention, its just that he feels a little out of place most of the time. It's like going into a gig in an entirely foreign country, the beat's getting you there but you just cant understand anything everyone else is saying. They say you gotta learn to speak the language. But Nicholas obviously hasnt care to learn it one bit. Being on the team, however, gives him not much of a choice. "Parties is what keeps your status afloat." his oldest brother once told him. So eventually, Nicholas learned to live with that, but that doesnt mean he has to like it the same way.

He has lost track of time, and sure enough Trout, a tall scrawny spectacled Prefect from Ravenclaw poked his head from their compartment door and told them to change into their school robes, "Hogsmeade in ten minutes." He announced, "Hogsmeade in ten minutes." He repeated as if the they hadnt heard him the first time. Trout looked at Skylar then to Lonan and Nicholas, something in this lot that he definitely finds strange, and he didnt try so much as to hide his disapproval as he walks off ahead to the next compartment. "What's not to like?" Nicholas said in one in particular, as he starts putting on his robes over his normal clothes.

Juneberry detangled herself from the pile of people that were in the compartment once she felt the train come to a stop. She fixed her hair and picked up her cat before anyone could step on him. Looking at Kitten she said "Well, i suppose this is were we have to part ways. Though...i hope i will get to see you again soon." she gave a small curtsy and walked over to her things to get her robes. She was lucky enough to snag a space in the girls changing room and put on her blue and black Ravenclaw robe. After she did, she quickly went back to her bags, grabbed them all and began to exit the train.

Once she stepped out the cool wind blew at her hair and she was pushed by the other students to walk in a certain direction. At one point she turned to make sure Sebastian was with her. Once she saw him, she kept going, following everyone else as they made their way towards the school. She was excited to get to the commons and see all of the new Ravenclaws this year, and envied the eighth year that got to show them around. She really wanted to be a tour guide. I would be the best tour guider ever! she thought to herself as she zoned out and into her thoughts.

John smiled and laughed as Juneberry took the picture and when the train came to a halt, he got up and left the apartment, bag in hand with Teddy. He mumbled something about Lonan Hightower that included language that his grandmother would hex him for after he stepped on his foot. Jealous brat. He'd probably spend the year aching for the Quidditch House Cup that was already with Gryffindor if their Keeper was any good. But John recomposed himself as he stepped of the train and hopped into a carriage that his uncle had told him were pulled by Thestrals.

As Juneberry fell into her thoughts, she hardly noticed when students starte to pile into carriges. She would have too if she had been paying attention, and instead she started to take an unnaturally long walk to Hogwarts. At one point when she was skipping along the road and swinging her bags, a carriage nearly ran into her.

"Hey girl...watch where your going huh?" the driver said to her nicely. He held out his lamp with a small candle, and it illuminated the area.

"Oh hello." she said to him, partially coming back into reality. "I see you've brought me my Thestral." she said before going over and petting the beast she had actually never met before. Then she leaned against the carriage and frowned. "And this year im going to make it official! All the first years get their bags transported to their rooms but we dont? Not anymore!" she half yelled at the man before hefting her bags up next to him on the seat. "See to it that those get to my room." she said with a bow then she flashed her house medallion on her robes. "Ravenclaw. Dont forget." she smiled then and motioned for Sebastian to follow her. She took a few steps then she threw her hands in the air and screamed.

"WAIT!!" Her sudden outburst caused a few students who knew about her usual antics to laugh. She walked back to the carriage and grabbed her purse. "I need my bag." she said. As she did, someone called out "Did you take your meds this morning Lovegood?" as she was walking away she paused and did a spin. "Nope." That ensued an uproar of laughter from the other students and the driver sighed before carrying on to Hogwarts.

Juneberry took a few more steps before she looked around for her cat? His black fur blended in with the darkness but once he mewed June picked him up and held him tightly. The only light out now was the light of the moon. With a frown Juneberry took out her wand and closed her eyes, she pictured the front entrance of Hogwarts and then focused on it. "Point me..." Suddenly she felt the familiar feeling of being crushed for just an instant then she opened her eyes. She was at Hogwarts now a bit off to the side of the stairs to the entrance, and she noticed a few students stopped and stared, whispering. A professor was standing there as Juneberry looked to make sure all of he ans Sebastian's body parts were there. "Excuse me, young lady..." the teacher slowly walked over to her. Juneberry look surprised as she didn't know who this man was. He was oddly colourless, with transparent eyelashes, wispy hair, and an insubstantial air, as though a single gust of wind might blow him away. He looked....ancient.

"Did you just Apparate? And do you have a lisence to use that spell?" he asked her in a slight scolding manner. Juneberry looked frightened and nodded her head.

"Oh, really? You look rather young. " he looked skeptical. "My name is Mr.Twycross and i am the Apparition instructor here." he said.

Juneberry facepalmed herself then. What an amazing stroke of luck.

"I usually remember most of my students...but you do not look familiar." he paused. "Show me your lisence." he demanded.

Juneberry sighed and put sebastian down before fishing into her purse to take out her lisence. She gave it to him and he frowned, "It says this belongs to Luna Lovegood. Who is a professor here at Hogwarts i believe."

"Well, she's my mother so its kinda the same....right?"

"Wrong." he said and frowned. "Come with me missy. Your in a lot of trouble."

Juneberry groaned as she followed him into the school. Her first day back and she was already in trouble. She called for Sebastian to follow her and she swore he looked just as annoyed as she was.

Kitten had dressed in her compartment not caring much for modesty. She told nyx to follow close behind and jumped out of the train. Technically she was a first year and her bags were taken away. She though turned into the black wolf and got in a boat.

Samantha giggeled as they all took the picture.(i know im late) but then suddenly the bus stopped seeing that they have already arrived at hogwards. "Yay." She thouht to herself now walking out of the train and seeing people going into the carriages and noticed John. "Heeey, John." she smiled at him sitting down infront of him. "Are you okay? Anyways, thanks for ignoring me back then. Hm." She giggeled smiling at him, it was all playfull she wasnt mad.
