Ahhh crap... Raymond really felt felt bad now. Willow was sweet, and didn't want anyone to leave, but he knew she liked her own company. He gave a smile and nod when Verlin introduced herself, seeing her animal features, which was very unusual, but fascinating... And then Willow fainted, he was pushed back by a spell, and then he got orders from Acacia and the older student. He wasn't just going to leave her. Even though she wasn't a fan of crowds, they were still Gryffindors. They had to look out for each other.

Roy left, respectfully. He'll catch up with him later, and as Samantha started to talk, Acacia seemed to show a flash of frustration. She seemed to care for Willow, but never saw her spend time with her for four years until now... He looked at Willow, who was still passed out, but breathing calmly. He trusted Samantha, and Acacia's sincerity meant that Willow was in good hands. "Alright... I'll make my way out." He picked up some of the candy and other objects that fell on to the floor during that little scene. "If anything goes wrong, i'm always eager to help. Gryffindor's look out for each other." He said. Raymond gave one last smile and wink to Samantha "I'll see you in the Great Hall. Nice meeting you, Acacia." Raymond said with a nod and smile to the Slytherin girl.

He walked out of the room, tossing the trash away in a trolley cart trash cane that was passing by. He wondered where Roy went, or anyone else for that matter. He walked by a compartment, hearing girls giggling, and Roy's voice talking about his art. He laughed a bit, and decided to find another compartment with people he knew. Roy would be able to find him, and it'll be nice to catch up with him before school projects and activities get in their way. 

Just as he sat down with a group of old friends from a variety of the houses, the Hogwarts gave one final whistle blow, indicating that it was 11:00, and it was on its way to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
