Rhea listened to Roy for as he spoke about the feather, feeling it in her pocket the whole time. "Yeah, I guess you're right," she said. She then grinned. "That may be the first thing I'll do when I have some free time."

Ash seemed to breath a sigh of relief, but again, it was hard to tell with that owl. He instead quickly turned his attentions back to the girl cuddling him.

Rhea then listened to Roy speak about his family, all the while watching him draw. He seemed to like drawing, she heard him mention his skill with art. Rhea herself couldn't draw for toffee, and whenever she had to draw something, she was limited to doodling crude stickmen. "Wow," she breathed. "Your brother is an Obliviator? That means he works for the ministry right?" Her expression of curiosity became one of respect. "Amazing..." She then realised she had never really considered what she'd do after school. She wasn't really good at anything. [i]I don't want to end up like Mum,[/i] she thought. The idea of her growing up, becoming some house-wife in a muggle family, dreaming of her old witch days made her feel slightly ill. 

She shook her thoughts away for a moment and smiled at Roy. "Uh, no... sorry, I don't really know your younger brother," she said. "To be honest, I've always been a little... frightened to talk to the students in Slytherin." She quickly added, "I mean, I'm sure they're really nice! But..." Her shoulders slumped. "You know..." She became very quiet after that, looking down at her feet. 

The rest of the train journey passed by. However, Rhea decided to stay in the same car as Roy, Remington and Ava, partly because she didn't want to take Ash away from Ava, but also because she didn't fancy the idea of going back to her lonely car where all her stuff was. It was weird, solitude had never bothered her before, but after talking to such nice people, she feared being alone afterwards.

Eventually, the train came to stop at Hogmeade station. Rhea glanced out the window. "We're here," she said, her mood becoming slightly brighter. She stood up. "I've got to get some stuff from my old car. I left all my things there, you see." She gave a small laugh. She then paused, thinking of something. "But, err, would you guys mind if we got the same carriage to Hogwarts? I... don't really have any friends in my year, and you guys seem really nice." Suddenly, she remembered something and turned to Ava. "Oh, that's right. You're a first year. You'll be getting on the boats." She felt a bit sorry for Ava, having to separated from her brother. She gave Ava a pat on the shoulder. "Don't worry, though, we'll all see each other at Hogwarts and you'll be getting sorted into your house. You'll probably end up in Ravenclaw with your brother." She then grinned and leaned forward. "However," she said, attempting to whisper the words. However, she'd never been good at keeping her voice low. "If you consider coming into Hufflepuff, that'd be awesome too." She then straightened herself up. "Come on, Ash," she said to the owl.

The barn owl looked reluctant but obeyed, flying over and perching on Rhea's arm. Rhea smiled at Ava, Remington and Roy. "Well, I'll go get my stuff, but if you guys want to share a carriage, that would be cool too." She then headed back to her old cart where her stuff was and gathered it all up. She also put Ash back in his cage, which he complained about slightly but didn't try to stop her. He knew the drill. He knew it very well.

Rhea exited the train with a bright smile on her face, sighing slightly as she gazed over in the direction of Hogwarts. She sighed. "Home sweet home," she said and headed over to where the carriages were.
