A pick me up? Sparrow could desperately use a pick me up. She honestly hadn’t heard half of the meeting, which really sucked because she had to take her prefect position seriously--Aria would have for one, and she wanted to do a good job anyways. ”I’m sure you’ll be great, Ashton,” she encouraged. Sparrow was ashamed she didn’t know Ashton as well as another fellow Gryffindor--he didn’t seem the type to join her impromptu Kareoke Nights in the Gryffindor Common Room--...so clearly this prefect thing was just an opportunity to get to know a new friend! Yeah. She...had to keep befriending people. Aria would have wanted that. For her to achieve world peace by befriending everyone and what not. Just...not get hurt in the process.

Sparrow flashed a half-hearted smile--nowhere near her usual 7000 watts-- and accepted the flask and compliment. ”That’s sweet of you to say,” she said. She took a hearty gulp from the flask and swallowed. Her entire face scrunched up as she swallowed, and she felt her entire face heat up as the alcohol went down. ”What IS that?”

She held her hand out for Yukon’s flask, assuming it was his usual water. ”Sorry, not quite my cup of hot chocolate,” she admitted. But it did give her a pleasant heat, which was...really so nice. She buried her face in Dunce’s warm fur for a moment. Whatever this pick me up was, it at least made her feel warm for the first time all day.

I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you....

▬▬"From the moment we met, I knew it was you."▬▬

Yukon looked up as Wren put Sparrow in the carriage with them, who else was he with? Another Gryffindor? A prefect judging by the prefect Pin on his cloak, this was one of the new Prefects... what was his name again? Barley? Bearsley? No... Bardsley. He looked at the tear stains on Sparrow's cheeks, had she been crying that much? And then... Wren put Dunce in the carriage to watch them like they were some sort of children, pft.

Yukon held out a handkerchief to Sparrow, the one with blue and white stripes with happy little potatoes on it. "Here take this, wipe your cheeks off. Maybe dip it in some water when we get inside."

Then, it registered what else was going on. Sparrow asked what Bardsley was drinking, and Yukon turned his head and looked at the kid in detail, and smelled some alcohol. Oh, was Yukon's want for his vodka drink so strong that he was imaging the Gryffindor Prefect had also been drinking. As Sparrow took the kid's flask and took a gulp Yukon chuckled a half hearted chuckle, no, it did seem that Yukon wasn't the only prefect that decided intoxication was an answer. When Sparrow asked for his water flask Yukon shook his empty bottle, "Sorry little Potato Bird, this is all empty" he then mumbled to himself,"Unfortunate for me really."

He then continued at a normal volume, "and unless you want the Knolle Special Home Brew Potato Vodka to mix with whatever was in that flask, I doubt you really wanted it. Just embrace any buzz you get from that drink, and make sure you eat something at the feast." He was still being responsible right? He wasn't taking care of himself, but he was taking care of Sparrow, that's all that mattered. Wait. Why had he just admitted to having been drinking alcohol? Was it because he was in the safety of two other prefects, that probably wouldn't snitch about it? Yukon began to worry, what if he got caught and his prefect status taken away, or his quidditch captain position taken away. Well, too late now to worry over such things.

The Scarlet Steam Engine slowly pulled into the station. A wall of steam puffed out as it came to a stop. The Hogwarts Express had arrived. In the distance, the top of Hogwarts Castle can be seen.

xxxx❅ Wʜᴀᴛ's Gᴏɪɴɢ Oɴ? Back to school time!
xxxxx❅ Wʜᴀᴛ's Iɴsɪᴅᴇ Mʏ Hᴇᴀᴅ? The train whistle is way too loud!

Tàm had had a busy, hectic summer. It started out finding he was going to be an older brother, met his Pa's long-time girlfriend for the first time, and had to deal with the co-existence of a new person in their house. Pa had gotten started building a new room on the house for the new baby. They did learn that Maggey was also a Master Bladesmith, and was a big help in the forge. He and Áedán learned to make swords, and it was pretty cool. A few weeks in, and Maggey started setting up all kinds of health appointments, which was odd. Normally they just went to the doctor when they needed medical help.

One such appointment was for the Dentist, which Tàm quite disliked. Mostly because some stranger was touching his face for a long time. After that, the dentist said Tàm needed an extra appointment, with a specialist. Pa dragged him back to Glasgow, where a million pictures were taken in and around his mouth, plus the worst bite-down mold thing ever. It was then they learned Tàm was gonna need braces, probably for a while. It was pretty clear to him that the blame was on Maggey, but he also had to be grumpy with Pa, since this was all his fault.

A week later and Tàm and Pa were back in Glasgow, getting the braces installed. The teen opted for a rainbow scheme in his braces, since it was the small upside to the whole mess. The Orthodontist even told him if he didn't band his braces every day, she might need to add headgear to the braces. Something about his jaw being pushed back or something. It was all dumb. He got a list of foods he wasn't allowed to eat, and with each of his favorites listed, green eyes glared a little harder.

Only a couple weeks later and Tàm and Áedán were headed back to school. On the morning of the trip, Pa gave Tàm new pants... with two legs! They were called adaptive clothes, and they were made specifically for people with prosthetics. After trying them on, he was delighted to learn they fit super well, and they were much comfier than finagling with his normal clothes. Because even those, he had to put on over his bonus leg, where the new ones zipped up around it. It was nifty!

After lots of hugs and love, Tàm and Áedán floo'd to Hogsmeade, then walked over to the platform. Their trunks were set in the unloading spot, and they stepped back to wait. "This(h) is(h) aff tae be a s(h)toatin year, ah kin cop it in mah bones." Green eyes sparkled with excitement, though truly Tàm had no way to know how the year would go. His emotions had been all over the map, and after a super uncomfortable talk with Pa, it sounded a lot like it was just part of being a teenager. He was ready to see his friends, and as the train whistled, he covered his pointed ears, a smile settling on his lips. The train pulled in, and people started to disembark. Tàm adjusted his expression, for once doing a close-mouth sort of smile, rather than his usual toothy grin.

xxxxx✵ Wʜᴀᴛ's Iɴsɪᴅᴇ Mʏ Hᴇᴀᴅ? Where's the school, though?

Seb and Declan happily laughed about animals with people names, then talked for a bit about Declan's dog, Tapper. While watching the scenery, they talked about vehicles and such. After a fair while, a kindly lady with a cart full of tasty looking treats popped by. Between the two of them, Declan and Seb got a small variety of magical snacks to try, 2 of most, but some were more share-snacks. They learned that chocolate frogs actually hopped; chocolate cauldrons secretly had fizzy fruit flavors inside; jelly slugs were just gummies shaped like slugs; and whomever Bertie Bott was needed to be fought for putting yucky flavors in their beans. Both had decided not to take their chances with the possibly disgusting flavors.

They kept their chatter light, speculating on what all they'd learn and everything else they could imagine about the school. Someone tapped on their door and let them know they'd be arriving in a half hour, just in case they needed to dress in uniform. Both boys were revamped with energy, watching through the window as they grew closer. Finally, the train began to slow, pulling into a well-lit little village. It even looked old-timey and magical! Seb offered a hand over to his friend, emerald eyes twinkling with excitement. "You ready, Dec? We're gonna go be official magic wizard guys!" He donned a bright smile, leading the two through the crowd and onto the platform.

"Woooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh." Seb offered quietly, admiration evident in his tones. With people still hopping out, Seb led them a bit to the side. An older girl told Seb he'd want to leave his hoodie... and Zoot there with the trunks, then took down his name and waved her wand, turning a slip of paper into a collar with a shiny gold nametag. Seb helped her put that on Zoot, looking so, so excited. He led the way over, hearing some lady calling for all the first years to join. "That's us! C'mon, Deccy!"

Azalea wasn't normally the first person for the new baby kiddos to meet, but since Callum had caught quite a mighty cold, she was recruited to get the first years to the boats, then the boats to the dock. Probably because she was there... super early. But that wasn't her fault, she lived in the forest! Either way, she dressed nicely, then scurried to the Platform in Hogsmeade. The train whistled loudly, earning a small, instinctual hiss from the nymph. As people were hopping off the train, Aza grew a small tree to lift herself into view of everyone.

"Beautiful New First Years! Please, gather 'round me! We're taking a special route to the school! Come please, dearests~"

Her voice was ever in sing-song, but from her vantage, seemed to work the trick. A few kids were walking over, so she figured she'd give a few minutes, then repeat her calls. Then she'd get to take them all to the water's edge. She loved the boats so much, even though she normally wasn't allowed to ride.

On the train, Declan had thoroughly enjoyed the sweets, with the exception of the weirdly flavored jelly beans, but he also enjoyed breaking his parents' rule on sweets. He was going to a new world and as Sebas... Seb had said, it was a new start for him. So maybe he could shed his parents' rules. When they dressed in the school uniforms, Declan could hardly contain his excitement. This uniform was much nicer than the school uniform from his primary school. He liked the swishiness of the robe. Seb held out his hand and Declan happily took it, disembarking from the train. "Wow," Deck squeaked, looking around the station and at the twinkling lights of the village, the darkness of the forest behind them... it all made the experience very magical. He squeezed his friend's hand, smiling happily. "This is so awesome," he said quietly, still holding on to Seb's hand. He only released him when he had to but the collar on Zoot, even offering the kitten a pat on the head. Declan was still afraid of cats, but he was making an exception for Zoot. Then he was holding Seb's hand again as the boy was leading him over to some lady calling out for first years. When he called him Deccy, Declan blushed a little, surprised that he used his mom's pet name for him. "O...okay.... Seb..." he said, using a nickname for the first time in his life.

At the call to go to... whomever it was, Seb held Dec's hand and did his best to guide both toward the lady. As they got close, Seb noticed she was in a little tree, like 5 feet off the ground or so. Where did that tree come from anyway? He was pretty sure it wasn't there. But here was where the other kids their age were gonna gather, and apparently get a special trip to school. "Dec, this is gonna be the best year ever. Like. Ever, ever. And we're gonna be the best friends ever. A-and we're gonna learn so many things! Like. Maybe tree magic! Or... um... somethin' like that."

"Tree magic! Heehee~ I love it! You humans are so silly! And yes, you will learn Herbology, the magic of plants. In fact, you'll learn it from me! I'm Professor Azalea, and I'm your early Herbology teacher. We're gonna have fun!" She said, doing a flip 'round the little tree branch she sat on. Wow. She was definitely going to be a hoot. And what if all the teachers were so fun? "Wow. See, Dec, it's gonna be so much fun!" Seb reached out to shake a hand with the lady, noticing her pointed ears and wide, almost glowing eyes. Professor Azalea reached out, shaking Seb's hand with both of hers. "It sure will be fun!"

. ⋅ ˚̣- : ✧ Su's eyes widened as Lewis named every one of his family's establishments and their relations to himself. She had no idea if she even had a great uncle's sister nor did she know what'd she'd even do with the information. What does a great uncle even do? When he then mentioned that his grandfather's shop paid more because it was busier, they had to nod in agreement remembering it was the quidditch shop and nothing is ever as busy as quidditch in any season. Then the raven switched it up and talked about how conversing with Sierra didn't result in his usual crazy colors, which was pretty neat and convenient but also sort of saddened the puff that they never considered Lewis' gift during their ramblings. Something she will definitely pay attention to in the future.

Nic called himself an idiot (mostly untrue) because of forgetting Sierra's disability which honestly they thought put more pride into the other teen's ability to navigate the hearing world than his own self imposing guilt of just forgetting. "She'd probably prefer people forget, I'm guessing. Besides it's like we said, she's really shy. It's not your fault you haven't befriended every third year like someone in this compartment." Su teased her curly haired friend as she finished off a row. It honestly stopped being surprising seeing just how many people flocked to Lewis after first year. Especially because they completely understood the appeal: he was nice, funny, a bit weird but in a genuinely nice sort of way, and his way of looking at the world (not because of his colors thing!) was pretty bright and optimistic. Of course random students would flock to him!

As she started a new row of different colors, Nic began bemoaning that his aunt (everyone had so much family!) was going to be their charms teacher and could or would apparently snitch him out to his father. "I mean...maybe it won't be as bad as you think? Plus I think it'd be kind of cool having a relative always nearby. My only relatives besides my immediate family are my dad's parents." they gave a slight frown at that. Their grandparents hadn't been coming over as often as they used to during the summer and when they went to visit, the only excuse she could get was that they were busy. She wasn't completely sure if she believed that. Sooner than expected, the hours flew past and they were now settling into Hogsmeade. Su had found the time to change clothes right before exiting and joined the others while the first years were getting rounded up.

I don't swim or sink; I just float
I don't need gravity; I just need growth (woah)
When I move,, it's an earthquake rumble
I will never, ever fall; never stumble
And I don't need to be humble
Break down walls, like Jericho, crumble

Emily half laughed and nodded sagely, "I suppose it did turn out as a good idea to learn, considering. Oh! You should teach me some Russian so I can know how to say things without Mum or Dad knowing... I don't think anyone else on the estate speaks Russian, though. And, Mum doesn't like me speaking to the "help"." She paused and rolled her emerald eyes dramatically before leaning across the space separating them, "Truth be told I like talking to the gardeners best... and the housekeeping knows the most."

Leaning back she listened as Kasamir laughed at her labeling Gryffindor as 'house of the brave'. It was what Cai said, but who knew what he knew. He was from Dad's first family and her mother made sure to isolate her from her half siblings so much she barely knew them. Maybe Cai was lying? "Durmstrang... oh I guess that makes sense there are more magic schools." She paused as she considered his question about how she felt going to Hogwarts. She couldn't exactly say her feelings.

"I..." She frowned still at a lost of words and her voice squeaked ever so slightly. Finding her voice she partially told the truth, "I'm mostly neutral. I miss my friends in Wales and English is not my favorite language... but I guess curious is a good word for it. Maybe I will get to see if my half brother was joking about house of the brave or not. I just don't want to be sorted in his house... seems like a nightmare. Like Cai is okay it's just... complicated is the best way to put it."

--------------------------------------------------------

The train rolled to a stop and Emily stood reaching out for Marie who hopped into her arms and let herself get slipped into Emily's bag which she left a small crack for extra air for the ragdoll. "I assume that is our stop," Emily said primly. "Care to join me?"

As she reached the platform she was soon greeted by a tree on the platform where a beautiful but small woman - surely just a woman or witch - sat ushering the first years away from the older students. Emily sighed, well her adventure begins.

🍀☯🌷☮The train ride had been ridiculously long (he realizes he's saying this from a place of never having ridden a train in his life but he will still stand by his exaggeration). Lyric took a big stretch as he and Afon exited the train and walked onto the platform looking around curiously to what he supposed was going to be his first real look at magic. It looked like a nice little village. Dark as s**t, but nice. "So you gotta wait for this guy to start yelling for first years, and then you'll follow up to the castle." his brother told him distastefully stuffing his necktie into pocket. The younger boy frowned and though he did distantly remember his brother-or perhaps Eula-mentioning that fact, he didn't think they were seriously serious. "What kinda guy? How will I know its the right guy and not the other guy?" Afon snorted a bit as he looked at the shorter boy.

"'Other guy'?"

Lyric nodded seriously. "The one who takes little boys and girls into the deep dark forest and they're never to be seen again. I just rode a train for the first time! I don't want that to be my last lasting impression of the world." Now his brother was full out snickering at his, in his opinion well-deserved, dramatics.

"Look, as much sense as that makes, you've just gotta trust me on this. There's only one guy, and he's not gonna take you into the deep dark woods." Lyric started at the teen, somewhat knowing there was something else he wasn't being told. He wanted to ask but he had a feeling Afie just wouldn't tell him. Rude. Just then, they boys turned towards the voice of a woman calling for first years looking like something from a fairytale. Lyric started harder at his brother. "You said it was a guy. That's a woman....I think." Living with Eula had been an eye opening experience in regards to fashion and gender expression. Afon just shrugged, seemingly attempting to keep a smirk off his face and failing miserably. "So it's a woman this time. Same principle still applies."

"Yknow the reason there aren't more known female serial killers is because they're better at hiding it." This time his older brother didn't even try to hide his laughter as he energetically rubbed the younger's head. "Then haunt me if I'm wrong. Either way you're getting to the castle tonight." Lyric pouted at both his actions and words and only moved towards the others after a promise that the teen would personally find his body and put it to rest if he were never found. The few he was standing by were already talking to one another so he didn't feel comfortable to do more than just stand and wait.

I’ll always be right here
When everything’s unclear
Please promise you won’t let go
Hold on 'til the morning
Forget all the scoring
Your flowers will finally grow

Lewis wondered just why Su thought Sierra would rather people forget she was deaf. He figured it was because Sierra was indeed a little shy, but Lewis liked that about her. That he was one of the few people Sierra liked to spend time with, and that they always had interesting conversations, either in writing or shaky BSL. But this year, he'd be able to sign much better, and hoped she would be happy about it. Su teased Lewis for befriending "every third year", and he sent over a happy grin. "Not just the third years. And probably not all of them. But I do have quite a few friends. I think it's mostly 'cause I'm in lots of clubs and stuff." He shrugged a bit, dark eyes twinkling with his happiness.

The conversation shifted to families, where Lewis' family ran half of Diagon Alley, Nic was worried about his aunt becoming a teacher at school. Su worked to try and make him feel better about the situation, then mentioned she didn't really have any nearby family, aside from her immediate. "The teacher part isn't so bad. My.... aunt? Let's say aunt. She's the Art teacher. And as for family, Su, if you ever feel like you need some more, come on over to my house. You'll have a ton of family lining up to give you hugs and love. So, so many hugs. And if my Nan likes you, which she would for sure, the whole entire family is pretty much duty bound to like ya too." Lewis nodded, curls bouncing wildly.

they continued their conversations for a long while, sharing sweets from the cart. Finally, after about a million hours, they were told to get ready. Sure enough, not long later, and the train was pulling into Hogsmeade. Finally, he'd be able to stretch his tired legs. "Come on, guys. Let's get off this wagon, and we can go get a carriage, then it's off to dinner. I can't wait. Mom says I inherited my dad's appetite. I dunno what that means, but maybe I'll get super tall like he did." He grinned, leading their little trio off the busy train and onto the busy platform. Oh man. He forgot how chaotic the colors were. As if knowing he was getting overwhelmed, the train whistled, completely obscuring Lewis' sight behind a wall of bitter yellow. He covered his ears, a pained squeak leaving him. Luckily the whistles were only a moment, then it was back to only mostly obscured vision, though it flashed in technicolor waves.

Llewella had learned that trains did not allow enough space for people to hide on their own. Instead, she found a solitary space, tucked herself in, and then didn't move for pretty much the entire ride. Dark eyes watched people walk past, no single person noticing or acknowledging her. Hopefully, she could survive the entire year just the same. She wanted to doze off, but kept herself awake by remembering that she didn't want to get discovered... or forgotten on the train. Mercifully, the train began to slow, so Ella stood, slipping off just as the doors opened.

Once on the open-air platform, she hid in the corner, watching in worry as a hundred or more kids piled off the train, filling up all the space. Just as she was about to run off and try to find somewhere else to hide, there was a call for all the incoming first years to join. Oh no, that meant most likely, she'd be noticed... and worse, probably forced to talk with people. With a sigh, Ella scooted quietly around the crowd, stopping once she found a lady in the tree, and some other kids around her age. She tilted her head forward, letting messy brown hair fall around her head and shoulders to help hide her as best as possible. Maybe, just maybe, people would find her weird and avoid her.

Unsorted │ First Year │ Eleven Years Old │ Single



Kasamir hmmmmed positively at the idea that learning English worked out to be a good thing for him. Learning magic was going to be difficult enough proposition without having to try doing that in a language he barely understood. “Sounds good. How about we trade, Russian for Welsh perhaps? Rather like the idea of knowing a language others wouldn’t understand.” He was starting to wonder about what sort of family Emily came from as she mentioned how her mother didn’t approve of her daughter speaking to the staff. It was clear from her reactions that Emily didn’t agree with that. “Well, they would know where the dog’s buried, that’s for sure.”

Kasamir nodded along when Emily discussed the possibility of there being other schools where magic is taught, and he confirmed, “Da, there’s two others in Europe that I know of: Durmstrang and Beauxbatons, for which I am grateful I’m not going to the latter. I don’t speak French at all.”

Hearing the squeak in Emily’s voice, he commiserated, “I wish I were home too. I miss my friends in Arkhangelsk, and I’m still learning how to think in English. Maybe between the two of us we can figure all this stuff out. As for bravery, well, there is a fine line between bravery and foolishness; guess we’ll find out about the ‘House of the Brave’. I don’t know enough about the Houses here to know if I’d choose one over the other. How do they Sort here? Lottery? See who gets the short straw? Chess problem, maybe? Hope it's one of those, I’m pretty good at solving the chess problems in the local paper.”

Hearing Emily describe her half-brother as ‘okay’, didn’t sound to his ears like a particularly ringing endorsement, but he decided to be smart and hold off on any comments other than, “My aunt uses that description for most families, ‘complicated'.”

********************************************************************************


When the train pulled into the station, Kasamir was sad to have Marie hop off of his lap, but he was grateful to manage to get to Hogsmeade without getting flashes of images from his recent past he’d rather not revisit. He suspected that were it not for Emily and Marie, the staff would have found him curled up in ball at some point. “I’m guessing so,” was his response to Emily saying they’d arrived, and he answered her offer with a smile, and said, “I’d like that.”

Kasamir climbed from the train and onto the platform, and he was thinking as he took in his surroundings,’What did Aunt Faina tell me? ‘Confront a fear, and the fear dies’ Don’t know if its dead, but I’ve wounded it.’ He quickly spotted the woman sitting in a tree, calling to the First Years. Kasamir was pretty sure the tree wasn’t there until not so long ago, and he heard her referencing ‘tree magic’, which could explain much. “And, so it begins…” he said in a soft voice.

I'm not afraid of getting older, I'm one less day from dying young
I see the light go past my shoulder, I'm one less day from dying young

I see my life, Like a train with a one-way track
I've made mistakes, And I couldn't take 'em back
And I've been runnin' 'round in circles, 'Til I'm dizzy, I can't lie
But every night I go to sleep's, A day that I survive
