Cassiopeia
Cassie stopped her glaring at Thane and smiles warmly at Kithra, her natural kindness taking over and ignoring the vile presence of those in the compartment as well. "Mildly uneventful, actually for once. Course the Wizard World cup played, my uncle being an avid follower of the events and sibling rivalry between him and my father meant that we had to go and see who won, which wasn't half bad. We got really great seats but I wasn't all that interested in it to be honest." She says with a 'oh well' smile on her lips. She wouldn't have said no to the offer to go anyway. It was a fun trip and she enjoyed going places during the summer sometimes. Other times she could stick with staying home and just relaxing before school started. "I'm sure you'd trade your summer for mine any day though." She said as Kithra had once said to her during their third year that she would adore being in Cassie's shoes for a summer. Cassie had said the same thing which had made their bond as friends stronger that year. She heard Thane speaking of Tom and shivers. That man gave her the willies. She couldn't explain it, but she just knew something was horrid about that man. She couldn't say what it was, he just screamed 'evil' to her.

Nicoli
"I haven't heard anything from him yet." Nicoli answered shaking his head petting Nightmare who, during their first year had chased around seventh years just for the heck of it. He still hadn't understood why the eldest students had been afraid of the little kitten at the time and could understand a little more now since he knew the black cat better after years of being with the cat. Nightmare's eye opened staring at Camala and flicked his tail against her nose. He looked at Kithra a moment curious why she would answer a rhetorical question. But ignored the curiosity. She wanted everyone to get along. [I]Sorry princess, not happening. Not as long as the love for other pure blood wizards flows true and strong within the Slytherin house. And It will. I bet it'll last forever.[/I] He thought pulling a hand through his hair that wasn't busy petting his cat not letting any of his thoughts show on his face. "I was rather hoping you had. Oh well. He may be a pain, but he's a rather genius pain in the arse." He said even though, he wouldn't admit it, and neither did he know, but he and Cassie shared in the feeling that Tom was just plain wrong and gave them both the willies. And Nicoli was in the same house as the half blood man. They would learn soon enough, he bet.
