It should be fine. Damn. Simon's compartment became really popular! Haha.

And if you ever need any coding help, just let me know! I'd be happy to help.

@HushedWhispers

Thank you. I appreciate it - think I finally got it.

I posted! I hope you four don't mind me joining - it was my original idea and so I stuck with it. If anyone needs me to change, I can. Also, I can't figure out the formatting on here. I'm bamboozled. :(

I edited my post. :)

Location: King's Cross Station then Hogwart's Express

"The last time you drove me was the last time I ever wanted to be in a car with you," Tessa thought to herself after stepping out of the yellow taxi. Finding a way out of the house before her father tried a tearful goodbye was nigh impossible. It was leveled with a muggle attending Hogwarts. Her father watched her like a hawk, his protective nature in overdrive. The fear of her involving herself in another fight or being in one was constant. Once Kiara had discovered she was a witch and was suspended four times and expelled once, her attitude had changed. September 1st came as a relief to her mother. Tessa had grown used to over time but it never ceased to irk her deep down. Her mother also noticed the witches and wizards going to the platform and looked around in disgust. For Tessa, being a witch and attending Hogwarts had saved her life. It was a gratitude she never took for granted and cherished deeply. Nevertheless, she pushed it out of her mind and focused on the train station. Besides, her taxi driver's expression upon her slumbering owl was enough to break anyone's reverie. She kept it in mind as she dragged her luggage to King's Cross Station. A quick glance at herself reassured her she looked neat, prim and proper. Nothing like the mischievous girl she looked like before coming here.

Tessa set her earbuds around her ears so she could hear but trick her fellow Hogwarts students into thinking she wasn't able to hear them. It worked a vast majority of the time which she was thankful for even more so. Belonging to a house who valued pure-bloods and despised muggleborns was a challenge she accepted. It wasn't new to her and she felt as if she belonged to Slytherin house anyways. From day one until now, she told herself she wouldn't have changed her house if she could. Tessa looked around the platform then quickly sprinted into platform 9 1/3. Once inside, she gazed around at the students. She remembered how people found her gaze piercing and made an extra effort to appear friendly. Her earbuds slipped onto her shoulders and bounced there lightly. No music played yet the appearance there. A few students gazed at her earbuds in confusion - then disgust.

"Definitely a muggleborn," whispered a Ravenclaw girl to her friend.
She nodded eagerly. "Those things are ugly. Mud-blood,"
The two giggled to each other.

She continued to smile politely and moved onto the train. In the back of her mind, she took a mental photograph of those two. Later in the year she would find them again and defend herself. Now wasn't the time to start anything. Besides, casting a hex spell might do them some good - they looked as if they had crashed into the platform several times before making it through. The urge to cast a jinx was propelling her to remember a few off hand which ranged from mild to moderate- such as the Jelly hexes, Avis, and Conjunctivutius. However, she knew she wasn't in the position to use any of them. Doing so would ensue a fighter and she wasn't prepared to have one. Tessa sighed and took several deep breathes. Simmered down yet her temper flared, she held her head up proud. No-one, no-one, could ever make her feel anything less for her heritage. As she searched for a compartment while dragging her luggage and holding her owl's cage, Tessa remained impassive.

Tessa passed a compartment containing Demetria and Callum. She knew Demetria was the Gryffindor Quidditch captain. TJ knew Demetria was an excellent beater. Callum, on the other hand, was the Ravenclaw Quidditch captain. She smirked as she passed it, amused. It would make for an interesting Quidditch year for both two teams. When she passed by an emptier compartment verses Simon's full one, she sighed in relief. Inside sat Sienna and Morgan, two students she knew by name but not personally. She knew they were kind enough. Fortunately, Morgan was a fellow Slytherin as well. She knocked on the door and opened it slightly, lingering in the doorway.

"Mind if I join you?" She held her luggage and owl carefully.

She owns and treasures her barn owl named Cricket. He's been one of her best friends since her first year. At home she explains to her friends that she found him alone a baby. Furthermore, she lied and said she tried to free him, but he stayed and now he is her pet.

Narrow glacial blue eyes are one of Tessa's key features and is something she is proud to have. She keeps her eye makeup light so the attention is not taken away from the color. There is light mascara and eyeliner applied. She's been told that her gaze is piercing so she tries to appear friendly. Careful attention to her eyebrows keeps them neat and ruly, something she focuses on and worries over. Tousled, waist-length cream blonde hair frames her heart-shaped face. Tessa alternates keeping her hair down with a braid. She tends to feel self conscious with it up so she often tries not to. When it is up, it's a braid mainly. She also covers her small ears, afraid that it might be a trait people focus on., Her nose is long and crooked from a freak accident which resulted in her nose breaking. It never healed properly, so it's now crooked. Tessa's overbite in her almost-white teeth is a constant problem for her. She is careful about what food she eats and does not. She keeps her pink lips glossed over with cherry lip balm frequently. Her body is shaped tall, but when she's not at Hogwarts she tries to keeps in shape. Tessa stands at 5'8 and weighs 145 lbs.

Tessa's clothing style switches from day-to-day. Sometimes she'll be in the mood to wear some muggle clothing items with tights, skirt, blouse and tie - then sometimes she'll be in her Hogwarts uniform. Her Slytherin pride is strong, so she tends to incorporate silver and green into her muggle outfits. Her nails are carefully taken care of but not painted often. She tends to keep her style relaxed but occasionally dresses up preppy for muggle-themed styles. however she dresses, she presents herself neatly. At the top of her left shoulder is a rose tattoo. Tessa had her ears pierced young but tries not to wear earrings so attention isn't drawn. If she wears jewellery, if any, it's mostly silver. Tessa dons flats more often than anything else, but loves to wear a pair of Sketchers she personally designed back at home. Often, she'll use vanilla perfume with a hint of cinnamon.

With Gryffindor characteristics, it's a wonder how she was sorted into Slytherin. Bold, adventurous and confident (overly, unfortunately), she appeared suited for the house. However, a secret she holds dear to herself is she asked to be sorted into Slytherin instead. The thought of being in the house with scarlet and gold sickened her, while the cool colors of Slytherin were more suiting. Also, she feels at peace with water and preferred the house entirely. Aggression comes to her naturally but sometimes she can use too much. Lives to her fullest, without regards to rules although reigning her in is doable. She would not help someone who wronged her, even if it was years ago. Forgiveness is rare for her to express and she would never forget any negativity towards her. This makes it difficult for her to keep and maintain friendship but she is known to have friends. Kindness is something exclusive and will not go out of her way for someone without finding them worthy of it. Her temper is sadly fast and impulsive. Tessa loves to joke around and fire sarcastic comments. As a result, she can land herself in trouble. Her emotions can overwhelm her on occasion since she feels strongly. Crying is an act she finds useless and unrewarding; rather, she would express herself using art and music.

Tessa enjoys being around others, but does not try to show it. Her fear of appearing vulnerable or useless is strong enough to push her over her limits. She would engage in reckless activities just to show she's capable. Tessa's extrovert nature helps inspire her to reach out to others that she normally would not. People describe her as cold and calculating, though the latter is true, she is compassionate. Almost to much, too. Her ability to care for others as long as they haven't wronged her is extraordinary. She would go to the end's of the earth and beyond for her loved ones. Her optimistic smile can be easily replaced by an almost permanent arrogant smirk. She does not give up fast and will try to accomplish a task until it practically kills her. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" means everything to her: she finds certain things beautiful and then others average. This also means she is picky with what she wears or how anything looks. Even down to the smallest detail - such as her socks. She does not never want to look as if she's anything less. People have said that she's obsessed with her appearance, yet, despite her intelligence and confidence, she lacks boldness in her looks.

Baudelaire. Not a well known name due to her muggle heritage for the wizarding world. To the muggle world, it's the family name for a bakery shop. Tessa's family owns a bakery which she was going to one day inherit, however it was discovered she was a witch. In the wizarding world, her last name is associated with the terms "mud-blood" and/or muggle born.

►P L A C E O F O R I G I N◄

►H I S T O R Y◄
Tessa was born into a middle class family in London, England. Her mother worked in retail with a decent wage, while her father owned and ran his own bakery. When their daughter was born, they were devoted. However, they found her presence unusual and inexplicable. Accidents happened and occasionally even supernatural. Tessa's mother, Kiara, was concerned though her father found it coincidental. Sometimes, a tea cup would combust or a flower would blossom unexpectedly.There were even owls. The parent's still didn't blame their child. How could they? Magic didn't exist. For Tessa, she too didn't understand it either though felt responsible in a way but that seemed silly to even her. She found out she enjoyed being around reptiles and loved water more than other children as well.

Throughout school, she was different. Her grades were higher but accidents continued to occur randomly whenever she was around. This didn't stop her from making friends but she wasn't the most popular. She ended up defending herself and it almost lead to a physical alteration. Her parents were thoroughly disappointed, however her father was proud of her defending herself. Tessa was sent to a new school. Yet, the bullying continued. Tessa's ability to control her emotions and magic were beginning to wear thin. More suspensions came and the freak accidents occurred more frequently and intensified. It seemed akin to her temper as well. Eventually, her father took her out public schooling and quit his business to help her. It tore the family apart. Tessa felt personally responsible, especially since their parents lost a chunk of their money as a result. Her mother felt disgusted and unable to understand what was wrong with her daughter.

Finally the family received answers. When Tessa turned eleven, her Hogwarts letter arrived. Her mother was astonished and her father surprisingly was proud. Tessa, overjoyed, excitedly prepared to go to Hogwarts. On the train to Hogwarts, Tessa overheard comments on the houses. The house in particular that piqued her interest was Slytherin. Highly intrigued, she knew what house she wanted to be in already. When the Sorting Hat tried to sort her into Gryffindor, she requested Slytherin profusely. The Sorting Hat gave in and sorted her into Slytherin. From there she befriended many people and felt at peace at home. It was until a student pointed out that she knew nothing about magic and discovered her family history. The bullying began once more but Tessa managed to defend herself this time. She befriended other houses and mainly began hanging out with them instead. She excelled at her classes once more and began to feel at peace once more.
