"I'm Elijah, but everyone calls me Eli!" Eli introduced himself before stuffing his luggage out of the way, and placing the carrier containing his cat, Pirate, on his lap as he sat down. "Yep, I'm a first year. I can't believe I'm going to Hogwarts, I never thought this would happen!" his voice rose excitedly as he spoke. Min had also quietly tucked her belongings away, and made sure that her owl, Hei, was carefully sat upright in his cage on the floor. "I'm Min," she said softly. "I'm also just starting at Hogwarts. It's very nice to meet you!"

After a quick goodbye, she allowed herself to be dragged on the train, struggling slightly under the weight of her luggage. As they arrived at their compartment and noticed it was occupied, she narrowed her eyes and put her hands on her hips. Something seemed familiar about him, though she couldn't quite pinpoint it... "Vivienne Nott, eh? So glad to finally meet you. I'm Jacob Yaxley," Jacob introduced himself, taking his feet off the seat. "Our brothers are friends, they suggested I wait in here for you." He smirked. "We've got to start planning how Slytherin's gonna rule the school, don't we?" Maddie was irritated that Jacob seemed to be paying more attention to Vivienne than her. She thought he was very attractive, and wanted to have him notice her too. "I'm Madeline Burke," she said, introducing herself, slightly annoyed. She turned to Vivienne, waiting to see if he passed her inspection - she hoped so, as he was cute! Jacob nodded at Maddie. "Glad to meet you too. Now we wait for the Montagues to arrive. I hear they're twins."

"I'm just saying, if we wait too long we may have to sit with just each other, and I know at least one of us would go mad in that situation." He winked at his brother before grabbing him in a big hug. "Aww come on Gus, I haven't even broken anything in the last 24 hours!" Archie reluctantly let his parents give him a goodbye hug and kiss, then halfheartedly promised that he would write to them often (by which he meant whenever Gus wrote to them, he would write a few words and sign the same letter) before nearly catapulting himself onto the train. "All right Gus, where do you wanna sit? Please don't pick somewhere boring!"

"Now be good Carter, don't bury your nose in your writing, actually [i]talk[/i] to people and listen!" Carter looked like he might die. "Yeah yeah, bye Serena..." His sister rolled her eyes at her brother before picking her luggage back up. "I'll be with the Gryffindor Quidditch team if you need me!" she called back. Carter took a deep breath to compose himself, then turned back to the two students. "Hi Ishbel, hi Li. My name's Carter. Thanks for saving me from my sister...she can be a nightmare sometimes." He stuck his luggage in the overhead space, before sitting down next to Ishbel. "So, are you guys excited to start school?"

[i]Shame it's forbidden, I'd really like to get to know them...maybe in a few years...[/i] As the second newcomer sat down next to the window, she seemed to snap out of her thoughts. She turned her head to stare at the person wearing the hoodie for a moment, before blinking once and turning her gaze to the girl with the frizzy hair, her eyes falling to her hand. Saoirse blinked again, slowly, and opened her mouth to speak, her hair falling out of it. "I was wonderin' when I'd meet you," she said softly, "I've been looking forward to it." Saoirse blinked once more, faster this time, before reaching her hand out and shaking the girl's hand. "I'm Saoirse. Are you a first year too?"

She looked up at the figure in the doorway, a boy, and very tall at that. [i]Finally someone might be taller than me,[/i] she thought happily. She hesitated for a moment at his question, looked at her notes, then nodded. "Yes, of course. No need to have this all to myself." She cleaned up some of her notes that she had spread out in an attempt to make room for him. "I'm Nadia, by the way. Nadia Hornette. First year." Nadia looked up at him. "What's your name?"
