The New York Academy of the Magic Arts.

River stepped beside Richard. A keen eye would notice a subtle change in her overall appearance since Halloween. It was the accumulation of very few very small changes. For example River began to spend a little more time in front of the mirror each morning, recalling how she had looked in the dress. She spent a little more time on her hair, and Caelum had kindly taught her how to make a 'french braid' which she was how she had fashioned her hair today. She did not throw away her four most ill fitting shirts, however, they had fallen out of circulation by the end of the semester. She had also picked up a chap-stick, no color mind you, but had developed a habit of using that one simple cosmetic daily. She bent down to lean on the banister above the atrium, and gave Richard a through look-over. "It looks like you are ready for a break." Then she looked out to the street, the parade was passing by, she watched a 7th year Terra jump through a hoop of fire and vanish in the smoke. "I am too. I am eager for our trip. I've never been to the 'west coast', mot in North America anyhow." Ever since River had made friends here at NYAMA, she sometimes forgot she was a foreigner. With her friends and family here in this bustling city, bouts of homesickness became less and less frequent. She wondered, if she did go back to Chile, if she would not be homesick for New York! She looked away from the parade and back to Richard. He was not from New York Either. "Where have you traveled to?" She tried to make small talk while they waited for their third.

Alricwas soon joined by a tall lanky fellow. He was older by a few years, though, it was difficult to say exactly how much older with only a glance. He walked quietly, sat down quietly, and looked out the window quietly. He had hair that grew out to his shoulders, the hair seemed blue where the sun hit it. Suddenly, he would turn to Alric. “Do you want me to read your tarot cards?”

“Cunning?!” Julius and Jake would hear a shrill voice enter their cart. “Is that what they are calling it now?” A very short girl with a long black coat waddled into their compartment. She had thick glasses and long black hair tied tightly to the back of her head. Her coat was tightly buttoned and very long, it nearly reached her ankles. She had a small sharp nose and a pale face. She looked somewhat like a penguin. “Slytherin is where the ‘bad eggs’ go.” the girl explained as he sat down. “Gryffindor? Very nice.” She gave Jake a large metallic smile, her braces glimmering. “Harry Potter was a Gryffindor you know! I think I’ll be a Gryffindor… however.. I’ll take anything but Slytherin please-and-thank-you!” She took off his glasses to clean them. “My name is Moriah! I’m pleased to meet you!”

Caelum Liquin She traversed the once familiar kings cross with fresh eyes. Everything was different since she received the letter. Magic was real! In fact, it had never been far... It lived in a world just under the surface of her own. The magicians hid in plain sight. They tucked their trains at an somewhere platforms nine and ten. As she walked she scanned faces, wondering who was a wizard and who might also be part of the magical world. Their world was now her world. Caelum promised her parents that she would to do well and write often, then, boarded the train. She walked slowly, a turtle among the hurried hustling student body. She was happy to allow herself to be pressed aside into the corner. She waited for the crowd to thin and the hall to empty before she proceeded. She walked slowly and gingerly, observing the paint and the light fixtures, the knobs and hinges, any small detail might contain hidden magic. The train was old fashioned but looked practical enough. She wondered how much of the train worked like any other steam engine might, and how much of it was made of magic. The train lurched forward and Caelum lost her footing. She stumbled into an open compartment. The white book she was holding tumbled out of her hands and onto the floor. Its contents exposed, drawings of her parents: Both beautiful and bold, her father's dark brow and serious expression, her mother’s high cheekbones and shimmering curls. She had drawn her parents on their way to the train station. “Oh my.” Caelum flushed with embarrassment. And steadied herself against a seat. She looked up to see who might have witnessed her rather ungraceful moment. It was a girl young girl, perhaps her own age, who had red hair and pale eyes (Charlotte). “Pardon me…”

OKAY I"M POSTING I'm going to assume that Dani is talking to Pearle! (Partly because I'm part way through my post when she posted lol) I threw in a few NPC's to add some flavor and spice. Let me know if anything is confusing. As soon as I figure out how to make a table here, I'll post who is in what car with whom.
