[u]Cody Frost[/u]

Cody suddenly appeared in the doorway, not bothering to knock. "Hello mademoiselles!" He greeted cheerfully. "You should have found us, I had to leave poor Donny all by himself." He slid into a seat beside Rose, deciding not to provoke the beast by sitting next to Holly. Somewhere between leaving Donovan, buying a load of candy from the trolley, and arriving here at the girl's compartment Cody had ducked into a bathroom and changed into his school uniform. He flicked his wand carelessly, sending a box of chocolate frogs to each person in the compartment from where they had been stashed inside his robes. He'd bought plenty, but he saw no reason to tell the others he had extras. "And the little firsties too! Are you excited for Hogwarts?" He grinned easily.

[u]Donovan Dunbar[/u]

Donovan glared at the cat. "Cassius." He said, finally addressing the black and white menace. "You are evil." The cat purred, seemingly pleased by the accusation. He was doing that annoying feline thing where he sat in Donovan's lap and leaned into his line of sight so he was unable to read and continue ignoring the little beast.

He was just about to try to shoo him away again when the door opened. His hand immediately strayed to where his wand lay beside him when a Slytherin ducked his head into the compartment. The snake eyed him critically for a moment before leaving, deciding it wasn't worth sharing a compartment with the lion. Donovan sighed in relief, but immediately felt guilty. He didn't want to follow house prejudices, but at the same time Slytherins were kind of scary.
