Min nodded. "If there is too much pressure, it takes away from how well I do, I think," she said. "I just get so worried about doing everything just right, and then I don't do my best."

Eli patted Min comfortingly on the shoulder. "Don't worry, I'm sure you're gonna be great, Min!" Min clearly brightened at his comment, and smiled gratefully at him.

Eli grinned at Bryn and bounced in his seat. "I want to get there too! I'm so glad that we get to be on the train ride there together. And just think, once we get there, we'll have even more time to hang out together!"

Min smiled. "Yes, and maybe we will even all be in the same house! Though, I still think we should hang out even if we aren't." At this, Eli nodded enthusiastically. "Yes!" he exclaimed. "I already really like you guys, my first friends at Hogwarts!"

Jacob snickered. "[i]Hufflepuff[/i], can you imagine? I think I'd just leave, honestly. So embarrassing. It's really just a house for weirdos and misfits who don't belong anywhere else."

Maddie nodded at Vivienne's comment. "Dad says that the Head of Slytherin is awesome. She already knows we're coming, Vi, and dad says she's an excellent professor," her eyes sparkled devilishly. "And that she has no tolerance for mudbloods fooling around. She has the right idea."

Jacob nodded. "Thank god we're going to Slytherin then. At least someone there has a handle on things."

Nadia shot Ben a grateful smile, though she still looked pretty worried.

Archie gave his brother a playful shove. "You wish! We're going to Hogwarts, the train ride is all about having fun and making friends!" He turned to Ben and laughed. "Well there are animals on board, but I don't think reptiles are allowed as pets -"

"Actually," Nadia interrupted, "we're allowed owls as pets, and phylogenetically speaking, birds are reptiles, so yes, reptiles are in fact allowed as pets."

Archie looked confused, then grinned. "Well then, that's cool! I didn't know that. But I was referring to the kids from other Pureblood families who were born and raised to be put in Slytherin house. Not everyone in there is bad, our parents were in Slytherin, but there's a lot here that'll spit on anyone who isn't in that house." He shrugged. "Not a fan of them, they'll be nice to your face and turn around and talk bad about you."

Nadia looked even more worried. [i]Oh no, I can't be put in Slytherin, I just can't! I can't even imagine how awful that would be...[/i]

Carter looked as though he might burst from excitement. "I really want to! Having a photographer would absolutely send it over the top in excellence! Li, you are awesome! This is gonna be the best paper ever!" He turned to Ishbel, not wanting her to feel left out. "If you want, Ishbel, you could be part of the newspaper too!"

He looked happy at Ishbel and Li's statements. "I'm glad to hear it takes what you want into account. Hopefully I will make Ravenclaw! But even if we get into different houses, I think we should still stay friends."

Saoirse didn't seem surprised that the other student had spoken up, it was almost as if she had been expecting it. "I'm sorry people were rude to you," she said gently. "It's an awful, outdated mindset that they have."

She ran her fingers through her hair thoughtfully. "It makes me so upset the way people treat each other when they are different...differences are important." She suddenly smiled at both the stranger in their compartment and Olivia. "Like us. We all are different, but I know we are all good," she said simply. "You both have good auras..."

Saoirse turned to the stranger in her compartment, her kind eyes seemed to gaze knowing at them. "I'm Saoirse," she said. "I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself properly before."
