Eli laughed at Bryn's comment, feeling so relieved to have met two wonderful girls so early on. He had been so excited to make friends, and already felt as though he'd met some really wonderful people. "I can't blame you, I so wouldn't be able to be a Ravenclaw! Like yeah, school and smarts are important, but I think making friends and having fun are the most important things!"

Min nodded in agreement. "I feel like Ravenclaw is very high pressure...I wouldn't like that."

The two jumped as they felt the train start. "Yes!" Eli exclaimed. "I still can't believe it!" His eyes were shining with excitement. "I just can't wait to get there!"

Jacob shrugged. "I'm sure not. The Montagues aren't commonfolk. They're like us, and I'm sure they'll have hell to pay with their parents if they aren't." He felt the train move suddenly and grinned. "And just like that, we're off!"

Maddie turned to Vivienne. "I know," she whined. "Dad says it just gets worse each year. I can't believe how relaxed they've become, they may as well let the Muggles themselves in at this point, it's unbearable..."

Jacob tilted his head slightly and ran his fingers through his hair. "At least they won't make Slytherin, that would be unforgivable! Salazar Slytherin would roll over in his grave! Send them all to Hufflepuff, that's where the misfits go!"

Nadia bit her lip, fifty things running through her head in a split second. She quickly reached a decision. "Yes of course, come on in." She began to once again clean up her notes, organizing them more thoroughly so that they fit right on her lap.

Archie smiled broadly at Ben and Nadia while simultaneously whacking his brother in the back of the head. "Thanks! All aboard the fun compartment of the Hogwarts Express!" He barged past Gus. "This so beats sitting with those reptilians back there!"

He quickly threw his belongings haphazardly in the overhead space before plopping himself down and pulling a half dozen slightly squashed boxes of Chocolate Frogs from his pocket. "Plenty for everyone!" he said gleefully, "but after introductions! That's my baby brother, Gussie, and I'm Archie!"

Nadia appeared calm and cool on the exterior, but she was silently cursing herself for practically inviting them in. Worry about passing her sorting test started to creep inside of her, and she tried to squash it. Self-doubt wasn't an option, and neither was failure. "Nice to meet you both...I'm Nadia Hornette."

Carter's face lit up at Li's suggestion. "That sounds incredible! Yes, a thousand times!" He nodded enthusiastically. "Yep. Mum says I could write before I could walk, and my sisters joke I was born with a quill in my hand. I love to write, more than almost anything...It's my dream to start a newspaper at Hogwarts! No one has ever done that before, it would be the first one, and now I'm rambling, sorry guys!"

He nodded at their answers. "All are great houses. My one sister is in Gryffindor, that's the one you met, and my other sister is in Hufflepuff. I wouldn't mind either of those, but I would love to be in Ravenclaw. I feel that it would really challenge me. I wouldn't mind Slytherin, if it wasn't for the other students I know will be in it."

Saoirse nodded. "Ravenclaw is a great house, my brother loves it. He says..." her voice trailed off as she tried to remember the words, her gaze falling on the window and she saw that things had started to move. "Oh, we're on our way," she sang quietly, swinging her feet slightly.

She turned back to Olivia, and without missing a beat, "...that Ravenclaws 'are very intellectually stimulating and consistently produce witches and wizards of the highest academic achievements...' or something like that." She shrugged.

"I can't really say I mind any house. I like all the animals on their emblems. I suppose I won't really fit in to any house, so I trust the hat will know what to do." Saoirse began humming softly, bobbing her head from side to side, and smiled at Olivia and the other stranger in her compartment. "Of course some students won't be so nice about it, but why should their opinion matter at all? After all, it just shows you who you don't want to be friends with." She once more looked out the window. "Destructive words come from a crumbling ideology..." she said, as if to herself, though it was plenty loud for the others to hear.
