“Yeah I’m not into the pressure to do so well,” Bryn shook her head with a smile. “I’ll leave that to my sister.”

She grinned as the other two seemed equally excited about being on their way. “I know! I’m so excited for the start and for the starting ceremony.” She forced herself to sit back down even as she bounced her leg. “I wonder how long the journey is? I hope not too long… Not that I don’t like you two! I just want to get there!”

“I guess we shall see,” Vivienne smiled at Jacob, eyes flickering to the window. She suppressed her excitement at being on their way - it wouldn’t be ladylike to show something like that. Perhaps if it had just been her and Maddie… 

She then shook her head with a tut. “It’s disgusting, what happened to keeping magic away from muggles? I hope someone does something about it soon. It’s really a disgrace to the wizard name.” She glanced over at Jacob. “But you’re right, they’ll never make it into such a prestigious house. I’m sure they’ll all go to Hufflepuff where they belong.”

Vivienne pursed her lips. “At least none of the teachers are [i]mudbloods[/i]. At least, not the important ones.”

“I’m not your baby brother,” Gus grumbled, elbowing his twin as he sat down beside him. “I’m a few minutes younger… But yes, I’m Gus. Also no one wants your nasty, body heated chocolate.” He grabbed one even as he said that. 

“I’m Ben,” Ben said with a sigh as he sat down next to Nadia. Maybe talking to these two had been a mistake. He turned his head to the girl next to him and, quietly, said, “you’ll do just fine in the sorting ceremony, I’m sure.”

“Nice to meet you Nadia, Ben,” Gus smiled calmly even as he kicked Archie again for good measure. “I apologise in advance for him, he’s a pain in the ass. But if you just ignore him he might shut up.”

Ben raised an eyebrow at that, choosing to ignore it and instead asked, “what did you mean by reptilians? Are there animals on board?”

“Oh really?” Li bounced up a little bit as Carter said he wanted to start a newspaper. “You should start a Newspaper, I’m sure that would be needed at school! I can help out with the photography.”

Ishbel smiled as the two boys ranted about that, gently petting her cat. “I’m sure you’ll manage to get into Ravenclaw if it’s what you want. Most people get placed into the houses they think they will, my brothers said.”

“You’re right,” Li smiled with a nod. “Really, there’s no problem with any of them… Just some of the people in them. One of my sisters was almost sorted into Slytherin but she begged the hat to let her into Ravenclaw with the other one.”

“Oh we are!” Olivia stood up with a grin, staring out the window for a moment before she sat back down. Thanh turned their head round to watch the platform rolling away and sighed slightly.

Olivia blinked as Saiorse went right back to what she’d been saying before and honestly, it was a little hard to follow. “Yeah that’s what I’ve read about em! I’d love it…” Imagine all the maths she could do!

“I’m sure you’ll fit in fine somewhere,” she smiled. Saiorse was an odd girl but that wasn’t bad, and she was very nice. Any house would be lucky to have her. “You’re right about that. I don’t know much about it but I’ve heard Slytherins normally don’t take too kindly to people like me. What is it, pureblood wizards? Sounds ridiculous to me… Just tells me who I don’t want to talk to.”

“They don’t,” Thanh spoke up for the first time, though quietly as they turned to look at the others. “My parents aren’t wizards either, and someone was rude to me about it earlier.” Their trip shopping for supplies had not been pleasant. They didn’t give a fuck about other’s opinions but it was tiring to deal with.
