So we're going to all pretend like we didn't see how bad the typos were in that post of mine. Right? >.>
The flight had been fantastic. Sylvia had been up in Maine visiting family for the last few weeks of summer break. It had been rather nice getting away from her siblings and work for a little while. But Lucius had shown up to take her to school since she'd been staying with muggle family there was no one there to go with her. She was a little disappointed that her mother hadn't come, but she had people to care for. One of the old ladies who frequented their shop had suddenly taken up with a fever and her mother refused to leave her. And her father couldn't fly. So it was just her big brother then that could take her.
Thankfully she liked Lucius. He let her fly on her broom to New York the night before. And it was fantastic to be able to fly again after the weeks without any magic around. They'd spent the night in a fancy muggle hotel downtown and made a night of it. And this was why, despite all the years he'd picked on her and teased her, that she loved her brother. He really did care about her. He'd just been a stupid child. That's what her mother had always said when she'd come crying to her about something he'd done.
So now she was following along after Lucius who was pushing the cart with her charmed trunk, made both bigger on the inside and lighter. It was something that she could carry on her own, but muggles had been about outside the platform. She had her broom over one shoulder, resting opposite the strap of her messenger bag that was currently full of sweets that her aunt had made for her trip. And she couldn't wait to dig into relatively fresh baked cookies. Sylvia was so distracted thinking about her aunt's cookies that she walked right into her brother who had stopped walking in front of her.
"Oooff," she huffed, backing up from him. "Break lights there, Luce."
He simply rolled his eyes at her, trying to hide his smirk. "I'll talk to Flo about having them installed while you're away. For Christmas, for you."
Sylvia smiled at him, giving his shoulder a nudge that barely moved him. "You're too kind. But what will you get me for my birthday a few days before?"
"Glasses, so you can see where you're going." And with that he gave her a half hug around her broom free shoulder and pulled her trunk off the trolley for her. "Love you, sis. See you at Christmas." He departed, waving.
"Never helps me carry it on, does he," she grumbled to herself. Pulling out her wand she murmured a simple first year "Wingardium Leviosa," and directed her trunk easily with one hand while waving to a friend with her other, broom filled hand. Climbing up the stairs after the floating luggage she searched the cars for either an empty spot or a friend. Quickly enough she caught sight of dancing yellow birds and knew her search had ended. Putting the trunk down she knocked on the door of Tai's little sanctuary and stood waving at her quite energetically, smiling brightly until the other girl noticed her. "Tai let me in!"

I could probably whip up another character . Do we need more students or more adults? I've already got an old Hogwarts Ancient Ruins prof I could easily adjust for this if we need him.
Also, Sylvia would be friends with pretty much anyone so she can definitely be part of Tai's crew :)

Oh, okay. I follow what you're saying now lol
Stitches said
I'm afraid I don't follow from "Maybe even your own home?" onwards. Could you elaborate?And yeah, Tai's a muggleborn, so I'm in the same boat as you. But I'm sure they'd allow Floo Powder at that age, because it'd be silly not to be provided with it in such a large country like USA.
Sorry, was typing one handed with a baby crying in my ear >.> I meant that it would be the same problem as getting to the train station as it would be getting to the 'leaky cauldron' And the maybe your own home meant floo network from home to the station. Make more sense?
Magic works fine if you have magical parents, but not everyone does :P
But I like either portkey or Floo powder from something similar I guess. Maybe even your own home? Because then you still have the problem of getting to the Leaky Cauldron similar place...

It is. It just takes forever to travel around the US. Not like it is in the UK
So where exactly is the train starting from and going from out of curiosity? I mean obviously it's going to end up near Salem, but is it going to go to the town or somewhere else?
I'm obviously still here >_> Aside from little surface edits, Sylvia is done.
Ah thank ye thank ye. I be looking forward to some adventures with this totally, legally commandeered vessel. >.>
That being said, almost done with edits. And I've had the chance to read through all the other characters and so many of you are going to lead poor Sylvia into trouble adventures. Which she will thank you for ;)
