As the last of their group arrived; Arianna noticed Rowan's exhausted reflection in the train's window. Her brow creasing with worry instantly. It was the first time, in a long time that she had seen him looking so tired. But then again, she didn't look much better than him. Looking sleep deprived. As nightmares of last year at the ministry of magic, had kept her from getting any decent sleep the past few months.
[Color=Gold] "Are you okay? you look like you haven't slept." [/Color] Doing her best to keep her voice even. Trying to keep composure, for the sake of everyone. Arianna was never one to let her friends see her weak and in tears.

"Ari's right. You really don't look to good bud." Harry said, with concern. But his gaze shifting over to Arianna. Having known her for a long time, he knew when she was doing her best to stay strong. It was okay to feel weak and show emotion. Hermione had taught him that. But Arianna was never one to let them win.

Axel smiled softly as Mimoza was sitting across from him. [Color=Crimson] "All things considering. It's been...alright, I suppose. Visited distant family in Scotland with the parents over the holidays. And my little sister got her acceptance letter over the summer."[/color] Sharing the brief little news with the group. Not wanting to seem like he had a blast over the summer, considering that everyone was grieving in their own way. 

After the battle at the Ministry of Magic, The Dark Lord had been growing in more power. Recruiting death eaters to serve him and follow his cause of destruction. It was few of the things, that had prompted Lord Dumbledore to keep a more watchful eye on Harry and Arianna. Harry especially. Not wanting to leave him vulnerable. It'd make it easier for Voldemort to target him. "Professor Dumbledore needed help recruiting a new potion's professor this summer." Harry said with a light shrug. It was probably the most exciting thing that had happened all Summer. Other than that, it had been pretty much the same. Suffering at the Dursley household.
