[Center]Cassiopeia[/Center]
Cassiopeia often called "Cassie" by her friends and family, had arrived to the train station and hugged her aunt glad that someone was able to say good bye and have a good year to her this year. Her father, working for the Ministry [and who had as high a position without being Minister] had been called into work at an ungodly hour of three in the morning, and she hasn't seen him since. Her mother had left her with her aunt in Diagon Ally to get the stuff she needed for this year needing to speak with an old friend from school that she hasn't seen in a while. She got on the train and pulled her trunk behind her and found that there was only one half full compartment left and saw Kithra there, a fellow Hufflepuff house mate. And someone from the vile Slytherin house who had called Kithra the most foul name in the wizard world. Her grey/blue eyes usually soft and kind, hardened and looked like the sky as a storm brewed in. "What a minger." She said putting her trunk away with the empty owl cage on top of it. Her Celebes Barn Owl, Jezebel was flying to Hogwarts. She pushed her black hair behind an ear sitting next to Kithra leaning against the seat lazily. There was nothing lazy, however, in the way she glared at the Slytherin as if daring him to continue. Usually she was shy and didn't really talk to many people before they talked to her, but Kithra was one of those she considered her friend, and as it's known, one stands for one's housemate.

What was Tom thinking? Nicoli trailed down the train his thoughts circling around his brain. Tom had said he had something to show the fellow haters of mudbloods those with muggle parents and yet still got into the school. While it was true that Slytherin had a really bad reputation, Nicoli would never admit it but he thought that Tom was using his hatred of his muggle father a bit too much to reason what he was going to do, or doing. The rest of the compartments were full but for one that had one seat left that had Thane sitting there with Hufflepuffs. One was Cassiopeia Dubrinski, and he coming from a family that was wealthy by inheritance and sly thinking, could recognize another wealthy person even if they didn't hold it over the heads of everyone like he has quite a lot. His mother had said good bye to him by simply placing a hand on his shoulder and nodding at him in pride before letting him board before the train took off. He gets inside the compartment and places his stuff away, a black cat on his left shoulder it's yellow eyes staring at the girls. He in a bout of inspiration had called it Nightmare as it didn't get along with most anyone besides him growling and clawing at those that tried to touch him. And yet with Nicoli, Nightmare was a regular cuddly cat who purred like a muggle car engine and affectionate. He sat down making Nightmare get off his shoulder and onto his lap curling up and closing his eyes purring in contentment. "So, what did I miss?" He asks with a small grin that might have been charming if his green eyes didn't clash with the grey eyes of Cassiopeia knowing exactly what was going on by the way she was steadfastly sitting next to the mudblood.

{Minger, in case you don't know is someone breathtakingly unattractive.}
