((Wotcher Forchette! Welcome ta Embyrs!and given that i cant speak french, can you be a real peach and add in brackets the translation? Pwease?))
Aisling tugged at her blonde bangs as she said, "I hope to get into Ravenclaw like mum and dad were. But I suppose Gryffindor and Hufflepuffle wont be all bad. I mean, if I got sorted into Slytherin, I'll be taking the train back home."
Kiana nodded in agreement. "Absoloutely....." She looked up when the food trolley came and immediately jumped up. "I'm starved!" She bought some cauldron cakes, chocolate frogs and every flavour beans. She opened the box of beans and held them out to Kaia with a mischevious twinkle in her eyes "Have one?"
Eileen stood up and walked out of the compartment in search for some of her class mates. As she slipped into the compartment, she yelped as she bumped into the cat which was sitting there. She bent and picked up the silver eyed cat and then turned to the girl sitting on the seat "Your cat?"

((lol. Forchette is in my French class at school so play nice! I told you these people weren't mean, Forchette! )) "I hope to get into Ravenclaw like mum and dad were. But I suppose Gryffindor and Hufflepuffle wont be all bad. I mean, if I got sorted into Slytherin, I'll be taking the train back home." "Absoloutely....." *Just then the food trolley entered the compartment. Kiana immediately jumped up.* "I'm starved!" *Kaia laughed a little, watching as the girl bought sweets from the trolley. However, her laughter was cut off as she was offered the box of beans.* "Have one?" *Kaia noticed the look on Kiana's face. These must be the every flavored beans that she had heard of. So far, Kaia had only sampled chocolate frogs here. The candy back home was different so she really didn't know what to expect. She bit her lip, glancing back and forth from Kiana and Aisling. Reluctantly, she reached out and took a bean, popping it in her mouth. As she started to chew it, she immediately regretted it. She made a face at the bitter taste in her mouth, forcing herself to quickly swallow it.* "Yuck! I think I got the nastiest one in there!" *She shook her head, trying to get the taste out of her mouth. She heard the others laugh and couldn't help but laugh a little too.* "You owe me a chocolate frog now!" *Kaia grinned. Back home, she was known as a chocoholic... Those frogs never stood a chance with her around.*

Kiana bit her lower lip trying to stop her laughter as she noticed Kaia picking out a sprouts flavoured bean. She held on to Aisling as they both laughed at her expression and exclaimed,"I think i got the nastiest one in there! You owe me a chocolate frog! now!"
Aisling, giggling, handed over a frog to her. "Now that was priceless!" She picked out a red colored bean and eyed it carefully before nibbling at it, "Strawberry!" And Kiana picked one out too and nibbled it at and make choking noises "YUCK! Brocolli flavour. Yuck yuck yuck!"

*Kaia took a large bite out of her chocolate frog as she watched the other girls try beans.*
"Strawberry!"
"YUCK! Brocolli flavour. Yuck yuck yuck!"
*Kaia blushed a little as she spoke.* "You should've given that one to me. I'm a good girl. I eat my veggies... or at least that one." *She laughed a little before finishing her chocolate frog. She took the card from the box and read the back of it. However, in the momentary silence, she heard the voices from a nearby cart. She looked around their own cart, noticing that someone was missing.* "Where'd Eileen go?"

Aisling looked up as Kiana kept spluttering in the background trying to get the foul taste out of her mouth. "Dunno. Guess she must have gone to find her friends."
She tried to get a look at the card Kaia was holding. "Is that a Morgana? I just can't seem to be finding her."

"Is that a Morgana? I just can't seem to be finding her."
*Kaia smiled and held up the card, Morgana's image moving about on it's face.* "Today must be your lucky day then. I'm not a collector. Take her." *She handed the card to Aisling before glancing at her own trunk.* "When should I get my robes on?"

((Hi, everyone! I'm kind of new here... As if you already couldn't tell. *pokes Forchette* 'Lo, pal. You were right; this is a neat board ^^)
A small second year sped through the hallways, long strands of chestnut-colored hair flying out of its customary ponytails. "Where is he, where is he...?" she mumbled to herself, bright, mischevious green eyes darting here and there as she searched vainly for her lost cat. She tapped her foot on the floor, crossing her arms in a huff.
"Jinx... Here Jinx.." she crooned, opening the door to many of the compartments only to shut them again. "Stupid cat," she muttered under her breath. She couldn't have received an owl, or even a rat. No. She had to get a demon in the form of a sweet little kitten. A paradox she wouldn never understand.
A gray bullet whipped past her and into Aurelie's compartment. Her eyes flashed angrily. "Jinx!" Spinning on her heels, she ran after him, skidding to an ungraceful stop as the gray and white cat pounced onto the French girl's lap with a resounding 'Mrow!'
"I am so sorry....." she said, inching forward so she could corner the devil's assistant. What a way to start out her second year; her cat mauling another passenger was going to fly really well with the teachers.

((Wotcher Orianna [cant yah just tell that I dig Tonks?] Welcome ta Embyrs!))
Eileen jumped back in surprise and nearly dropped the cat in her hands when another cat bounced in and into the lap of the girl sitting in front of her.
What was with all the cats this year? At this rate she'd be tripping over more cats than carpets and rugs.
-------------------
Aisling merrily took the Morgana card and slipped it into her jeans back pocket. She'd put it with her other cards later on.
"When should I get my robes on?"
Kiana peeked out the window, "I would wager within the next half hour. But I guess we can change already."

((Well now i feel likea dummy! I didn't know there could be a page two! I'm not computer smart yet. These are my first ever posts!! :-/lol ;D))
Startled by a voice i looked up. In the doorway stood a girl older that me. "Your cat?" she asked.
"Errr--" I was searching for the words to say when another object zoomed into the room."A-yah!" I gasped as a shivering gray furball flew into my lap.
"I am so sorry..." said a new voice. I looked up again and saw a face that looked so much like mine. They must think I'm simple, i thought.
"ah... zu two muzt think i'm zimple." I smiled."I am Aurelie Delacroix. and zis is my chat Chole."

((It's gonna be ok, Forky. I'll teach you a thing or two even if it kills me. Welcome to the Haven, Orianna! Good to have you on board. Just a note: I'm going to have Kaia know a little French so she can interpret for Aurelie when she doesn't know how to say something in English.)) "I would wager within the next half hour. But I guess we can change already." *Kaia nodded and opened her trunk. As she pulled out her robes, a photo slipped from her trunk and landed on the floor of the compartment.* "Oops. I forgot that was in there." *Before she could pick it up, Aisling did.* "What's this?" *Kaia grinned a little proudly.* "It's a picture of me with Maximus Brankovitch III, seeker for the Fitchburg Finches. I don't know if you're familiar with the two American Quidditch teams but the Finches are the Massachusetts team. Brankovitch has captained America at the last two world cups. That was my first time watching a Quidditch match and my friend's dad managed to get me a photo with him. It's how I got hooked on Quidditch." *She was practically beaming as she glanced at the picture.* "Before that I was only interested in Quodpot... which is still just as much fun as Quidditch to me."

(^^ Thanks, guys)
Orianna grinned sheepishly, grabbing the cat by the nape of the neck and dropping it on the floor. "Yeah, he's mine... And again, I'm sorry about that...." Sending a warning glance to the mischevious feline as it moved to pounce again, she clasped her hands behind her back and rocked on her heels. "I'm, uh, Orianna," she said cheerfully, looking to Aurelie. "I don't think you're simple. I like your accent. It's neat. And if you guys don't mind, can I sit with you? I got stuck in a cabin full of guys, and they're kinda getting on my nerves...." She made a face, raising her hand to run it through her dishevled hair.

*"What's this?"
*Kaia grinned a little proudly.* "It's a picture of me with Maximus Brankovitch III, seeker for the Fitchburg Finches. I don't know if you're familiar with the two American Quidditch teams but the Finches are the Massachusetts team. Brankovitch has captained America at the last two world cups.

It's how I got hooked on Quidditch." *She was practically beaming as she glanced at the picture.* "Before that I was only interested in Quodpot... which is still just as much fun as Quidditch to me."*
Kiana raised an eyebrow "Quodpot? Which game is that?" Aisling nodded in understand, "Ive only heard of the FF. Never seen em play. I personally support the Ireland team." Kiana snorted, "You should see her room. It looks like a green mess. Like leepruchains live there or something. Everything is green!" Aisling scowled, "Like your room is any better." Kiana sighed and said to Kaia, "You are lucky not having a sister of your own age. I'll bet you dont fight as much as we have."
---------------
Eileen nodded he head in greeting. *"ah... zu two muzt think i'm zimple." I smiled."I am Aurelie Delacroix. and zis is my chat Chole." ..."I'm, uh, Orianna,"* "I'm Eileen Roarke. Second year Ravenclaw."
She sat down across from the girls and their cats. "So aah.....Aurelie, which year are you in?"

"Like your room is any better."
*Kiana sighed, turning to Kaia.*
"You are lucky not having a sister of your own age. I'll bet you dont fight as much as we have."
*Kaia smiled and shook her head.* "My house is pretty quiet most of the time... But it can be pretty lonely sometimes..." *She sighed softly, shaking off the thoughts. She didn't want to talk about such things today. It was going to be hard enough as it was. She'd much rather talk about sports. She looked to Kiana.* "Never had to answer that question about Quodpot before. But I did hear that it's not at all popular here. Quodpot is the most popular wizarding sport in America. It's a little like Quidditch I guess. In Quodpot there are 11 players per team instead of 7. And instead of a quaffle, they use a quod. A quod and a quaffle are the same thing except the quod... well... it explodes." *She giggled slightly, remembering all the times she had watched one blow up in someone's face.* "See, you have to pass the quod back and forth and try to get it in the pot at the end of the pitch. The pot is a cauldron with this stuff in it that keeps the quod from exploding. But if the quod explodes before it's put in the pot, the player carrying it has to leave the pitch. Every time a quod is placed in the pot or explodes, a new quod is brought out. It's so much fun to watch but it's no fun when a quod blows up in your hands."
((Sorry if I'm rambling but I couldn't help but show off a little. I've pretty much read Quidditch Through The Ages cover to cover. And yes, for those of you that don't know, it is a real book. ;D ))

*"I am in my zecond year. I come from Beauxbatons with Madame Antoinette. What iz this Ravenclaw?"* Eileen winced. Oops. She started to explain, "Its my house. I'm in Ravenclaw. There are three other houses. Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Slytherin. We get sorted into the houses when he first come to Hogwarts. Its complicated...sorta..."
She looked over at Orianna for help. She frowned slightly, "I think i've seen you around...which year and house are you in?"
--------------------
Kiana blinked, her fingers moving slightly trying to figure out the numbers while Aisling frowned, "Sounds quite like Quidditch but more fun! Maybe we should suggest it for here too..."
Kiana peeped out the window and her face lit up. "We're nearly there! I think we should put our robes on." She dug into her truck, sticking the picture back and nearly fell into the trunk when a loud screeching came from the window. Aisling opened the window with a grunt, letting a small tan owl and a large barn owl into the compartment. The smaller owl started doing a little dance, moving right and then left over the lifted hood of the trunk. Kiana looked up at the owl, "You think thats funny do you? Why can't you act like Inar over there?
Aisling was stroking Inar's feather as she sat quietly hooting, "Not my fault that you wanted a small owl. And named it Shari." In response Shari flew over to Kali and hooted loudly.
