"Oh, I wanna stop by Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop!" 

[i]Oh, groan.[/i]

The three walked in a straight line down the train's corridor, heading towards the open door that was letting in the light of the setting sun. Many other compartments were opening and other students were spilling out. Abelia found herself scooping Lux up from the ground and onto her shoulder, where he latched on automatically. She glanced up, only to find Emilia and Lus lost in the crowd. Ah, well. Maybe she could visit Honeydukes or Three Broomsticks Inn for a drink. Then maybe she could think more about the dark shado- Nah, forget about that. Abelia walked in the crowd, allowing it to drag her towards the exit, her mind lost in a muddle of thoughts.

 [i]It was probably nothing[/i]

Abelia found her eyes wandering thoughtlessly through the crowd, and she was caught by a particularly tall, blond girl. A frown pierced her lips as she found that she had to walk a bit closer to the Slytherin girl, Serena. An instant amount of distasteful thoughts entered her head, completely distracting her from her previous think session. What did miss blonde, tall, and pretty want with her? Her eyes refused to dislodge from their position, and she allowed those doe eyes of hers to narrow, boring into Serena's with just a hint of malice.

"What did you do, Nixus?" The blonde accused, and with sudden anger she pulled herself out of the crowd to stand proudly in front of Serena. Lux found it rather fitting to sit tall on her shoulder as well, and Abelia lifted her head a bit to meet the blonde's eye level (what a tall girl she is!), smirking,

"What are you complaining about now, V?" she asked, using 'V' as a sort of teasing pet-name.
