Boarding the Hogwarts Express [Open]

[Yume [You-May] Hughes]

A pair of denim-clad legs were moving at a leisurely pace towards the barrier between platforms nine and ten. She was pushing a cart that had a trunk on it, and then something that was covered, though no one could see what was underneath. Her sneaker-clad feet sped up as she got closer, and she pushed the cart right through the barrier.

On the other end, there were many people who were pushing carts similiar to hers. With one hand pulling off the cover, Yume grinned as the owl under the cage hooted softly. She glanced over and saw the familiar scarlet train, the Hogwarts Express, ready to take all of the wizards and witches to Hogwarts.

"Here we are, Chip! We're back at the Hogwarts Express again! C'mon. Let's go find an apartment," Yume said, giggling as the owl hooted again, and she pushed the cart towards the back, where a man was taking them and loading them in. She opened Chip's cage, and the owl landed on her shoulder.

Yume had also been carrying a small black bag on her shoulder, and she now took it, after Chip flew off, ready to go on ahead to Hogwarts like always, and she went into the bathroom, putting on her robes and prefect badge before plopping down in her usual compartment at the very back, waiting to see what innocent first years would try to come in this time.[/size]

[Ayumi Ω Witherington]

Ayumi sighed as she marched her way through the Hogwarts Express, now angry at herself for sleeping in instead of waking up early like she had planned to. It was all because she had stayed up and read that Muggle novel from France! Glaring down harshly at a pack of Gryffindor second years and scaring them far away from her, Ayumi knocked on a door rather heavily.

"Hey, can I sit here?" Ayumi asked, sighing deeply. She hadn't even been on the train for five minutes and she was ready to kill people. "I'd rather sit with Evans than sit with the little brats." Ayumi stated, taking the time to brush out the wrinkles of her severely ripped pants - so ripped she had to wear a pair of shorts underneath, as there were rips on her butt and upper thighs - and one-sleeved shirt. Despite her 5'0" stature, she looked closer to 5'3" with her boots on.[/size]

[Yume [You-May] Hughes]

Yume blinked when she heard the voice and looked away from the window to see Ayu standing in the doorway. Deciding to mess with her klepto friend, Yume intentionally dropped a Sickle on the ground.

"No, you can't sit here," she stated, her voice serious and stern, something that she never used around Ayumi. She was trying desperately to hide her giggles, that was, until she saw a Hufflepuff trying to come in. She leaned over so that the Hufflepuff could see her around Ayumi, and glared, causing the Hufflepuff to take off.

"Nah... You can sit here, Ayu. How was your summer?" she asked her friend, not moving her legs, which were positioned to be stretched out across from her.[/size]

[Ayumi Ω Witherington]

Ayumi blinked then smiled before pushing the rest of the way into the compartment, idly picking the Sickle up off the ground and flopping on the floor, resting against her best friends' legs.

"It was fine. Nothing really knew from the Witherington's, besides the fact that they're trying to set me up with some Quidditch buff from Durmstrang." Ayumi laughed, throwing her arms into the air as she opened a Blood Pop and began sucking on her favorite treat greedily. Currently red hair swaying with her exaggerated actions, Ayumi tossed her head back to stare up at her friend, green and brown eyes staring straight at her. "You okay?"[/size]

[Yume [You-May] Hughes]

Yume blinked and giggled. "Yeah, I'm fine. Ugh! Quidditch buffs make bad boyfriends," Yume said, shaking her head before laughing again. She had tried it before, but it hadn't gone very well. "As for me, dad took me to Japan to show me where he grew up, then mom decided that she wanted to visit France, so we went there. I just barely got all of my summer homework done. God knows McGonagall would have been all over me if I hadn't done it," Yume said, chanigng her voice to mimic the Deputy Headmistress.

"Ms. Hughes! You're a prefect! You need to set an example and blah blah blah show some repsect blah blah off the team blah blah," she muttered, making a face and moving her head around dramatically before stopping and laughing. "Her voice grates on your nerves."[/size]

[Ayumi Ω Witherington]

Ayumi sneered, her hatred for the Transfiguration teacher and Headmistress known by most of the school; they had bumped heads multiple times in her years at Hogwarts, and they would probably continue to do so until the day one of them died.

"She pulls that shit with me, I'll rip her wig off and stuff it up her fat nose." Ayumi spat out, turning so her chin was resting on Yume's knees. "There was nothing for me to really do besides more homework except go to the stupid Ministry of Magic and help my parents," this, Ayumi drawled out as though she was discussing the weather of some far-off place that she would never go to, "Kiss up to the Minister. Becase of that, he seems to have it in his head that as soon as he divorces his horse of a wife, I'll be the next woman to jump into his bed."[/size]

[Yume [You-May] Hughes]

Yume laughed at Ayumi saying she'd shove McGonagall's wig up her nose, and then giggled some more whenever Ayumi discussed her parents so nonchalant.

"Ew... The idea of anyone sharing a bed with Cornelius Fudge makes my stomach turn," she stated, shuddering lightly. "So anyway... Are you taking all the same classes?" she asked, trying to think of some other topic for conversation. Her mind wasn't all there because she hated being up in the mornings, but she figured she'd try anyway.[/size]

[Ayumi Ω Witherington]

"Mmm... yeah. Slughorn apparently liked the Felix Felicis potion that I made him last year so much he kicked me up to his NEWT potions class." Ayumi laughed, her hair being braided into tiny braids with ribbons that changed color. So used to doing this, her entire head was done in little time, making her seem a bit like a pirate. "I'm in Advanced Arithmancy and am officially the Ancient Runes teachers' assistant, since I know more about it than he does." Ayumi laughed, curling up on the seat next to Yume and starting in on her hair; it seemed that along with being klepto and an insomniac, she had ADHD as well.[/size]

[Yume [You-May] Hughes]

Yume blinked and then laughed. "Damn! You got me beat," she stated, grinning. "Apparently, McGonagall is so happy with my Transfiguration, she's pondering whether or not to teach me to be an Animangi, and Flitwick has always loved my charms, so he's thinking about boosting me up to his NEWT class," she said, smiling slightly. She looked out the window again, shaking her head.

"The first years are so slow this year," she stated, grinning slightly as she nodded out the train window. "Crazy, isn't it?"[/size]

[Ayumi Ω Witherington]

Ayumi smirked evilly at Yume, almost throwing the window down to the bottom of the hole and leaning out, setting the bottoms of the robes of several students, no matter the year, on fire. Cackling loudly at several octaves of screams, the demented girl screamed 'MOVE YOUR ASSES! loudly before closing the window and calmly sitting back down.

"They won't take a long time now." Ayumi stated, smiling as sweetly as one can when they have just set fire to dozens for robes.[/size]

[Yume [You-May] Hughes]

Yume burst out laughing, nearly falling out of her seat. She was now listening to the rather terrified sounds of the first years being doused with the Agumenti spell. She shook her head, and looked at Ayumi. "Good. Not like I'd care if the train left any of them behind, but it'd be more work for me if any of them got put into Gryffindor," she stated, making a face.

[Ayumi Ω Witherington]

Ayumi shuttered at the thought of a few of those kids out there being sorted into Slytherin.

"If any of them make it to Slytherin, I'm going to kill myself." Ayumi sighed softly before throwing open the door to their compartment, looking around quickly before slamming it shut. "I can tell that they're angry at the First years already...." Ayumi groaned, knowing from past experience of how rude the trolley woman and the rest of the crew could be if they got angry. "They'd better hurry up... or they really might leave without them."[/size]

[Yume [You-May] Hughes]

Yume grinned and shook her head. "You know some of them are going to be. And you can't kill yourself. Who would look after that adorably threatening python of yours?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. She liked the reptile, but she couldn't take care of it. She always got slightly creeped out whenever she watched it swallow something. That, and everytime the two were close, she thought that Chip was going to claw the thing's eyeballs out.

"... We're about to have to go make our rounds," Yume said, sighing as though she really didn't want to, which at the moment was true.

[Ayumi Ω Witherington]

Ayumi groaned loudly and began to repeatedly bash her head on the window, torn between crying or Avada Kedavra'ing herself. Deciding that neither was appropriate for the moment, the Slytherin Prefect looked up to speak but her voice caught in her throat as the train lurched forward.

"We're on our way~" Ayumi sing-songed, standing up and stretching. "Now we can do our rounds." Ayumi stated, putting her Prefect badge on her emerald green shirt.[/size]

[Yume [You-May] Hughes]

Yume laughed at the girl, and then leaned forward a bit whenever the train started moving. She stood up, pulling her hair back into a ponytail before she walked out of the compartment, walking around, looking to make sure there was enough room in the compartments, no one had their wands out, and all that other fun stuff she had to do.[/size]
