Misadventures at Hogwarts: Term 2

I fell asleep quickly, tired as I was....
--
The next morning, my mother woke me up early.
"Terra, here is the list.Be sure to double check-"
"Okay, okay Mom!" I tumbled out of bed, onto the floor.
With that, my mother left me to pack the remaining items.
--
When I was done, a loud hoot came from my bed.I turned and saw that Drift had sa package in her beak.I looked closer and realized what it was.Owl treats."Oops, sorry Drift.But thanks for reminding me." she nipped my hand, and flew back to were she was perched previously."Now time to change....."
I rapidly changed into a blue miniskirt, purple tanktop and sandles, then put my school robes over them.The usal routine.
---
"Hey guys!" I waved to Karli and Josh as I came down to brekfast.

"This is between me and her at the moment!" I told Kalri.
I saw Terra and waved.

After getting some food, I sat down in the middle of the two."So, what are you talking about?Anything new?" I asked as I spooned some cornflakes into my mouth.

"Fine!" I said to Josh.
"I see you both are ready. We better move it. The train leaves the platform at exactly 11:00" I said getting up, and grabbing my suitcase, and Feather Duster's cage.

I looked at him questioningly.
"Did I just miss something?"

OOC: I have to go to school now...

OOC:Oh, okay.
Without a answer, hurriedly I said "Okay, see you later, I have to get my trunk." Finishing, the last of my milk and cornflakes, I trudged upstairs to get my trunk.

"No, you missed nothing Terra, dont worry" I said.

OOC: Are you guys at Hogwarts? I've lost track of where you are, I'm pretty sure that your still at Diagon Alley, but I just wanted to make sure. So where are you guys now?

OCC:We are in the Leaky Cauldron, ready to go to Platform 9 and 3/4.

IC: I arrived at the train station, and I went through the secret passage, to platform 9 and 3/4. I got onto the train, and sat down. Ten more minutes until the train left.

Zeth walked through the entrance of the train, and sat down, alone. He didn't really care if anyone sat with him, though he did want to see the girl from the other night again, the one who was crying...

~DragonTrainer:dragonite

OOC: Okay, that means I have alittle more to wait if you don't spend forever on the train. I'll show up at dinner on the third day of school.

I decided to study while I waited for the train to leave.
I pulled out a book about Care of Magical Creatures, and I suddenly remembered that I was taking this subject. Maybe they would apprciate me bringing Zach and Soraya. I had missed the two Unicorns so much over the summer. I hoped they missed me to.

At last, my parents dropped Josh and me off at the train station, right at the secret passage.
After the goodbyes had been said, tears shed and noses blown, we went through the passage, then, onto the train.I had brought a couple books, and the rest was in the compartement.Thankful that I didn't have to drag my luggage around, I easily made my way over to a small 'cabin' I knocked on the door, then, pausing, I slowly opened it.Inside was Karli! "Glad I found you." I said as I plopped myself down on the seat oppisite her, putting my books down, then feeling the pockets of my robes to make sure my moneybag and wand were there.They were.Good.

I jumped a little.
"Oh! Terra you scared me! Hi!" I said, closing my text.

"So son how is that friend of yours? What's her name? um.......it's......ah....Karli that's right! So how is she?" He said as he looked at me.

It just dawned on me that I haven't sent her any form of letter all summer. I hit my head and said, "I really don't know. I haven't sent her a letter all summer."


"I think you should send her right now!" He said laughing.

"What!?" I said looking at him with surprise. "How am I going to do that? I'm flying on Flame remember?"

"I'll send it to her by magic. I'll send it to her hands." He smiled as he brought Cherry close and handed me a peice of parchment and a pen.

I sat it on Flames neck and wrote:

Dear Karli,

I'm sorry I haven't wrote you a letter all summer. I got caught up in Dragon fighting lessens. I hope you know I still love you with all my heart and my heart aches every second I'm away from you. My father said I could go back to Hogwarts, and I'm going there right now. I'll be there for dinner about the third day of school.

Love,
Johann

I handed the letter to him and he zapped it with his wand. It then disappeared and then reappeared in Karlis right hand.

"Whoa!" I jumped.A letter had appeared in Karli's right hand.I grinned."There's only one person who'd do that." I said to Karli as I opened up Useful Charms For Sticky Situations.

MacLeod woke the next morning in a dingy room of the Leaky Cauldron. He was groggy and still in a state of shock from the whirlwind events of yesterday...he had come from a distant land alone, wandered about the vast streets of Diagon Alley, and on top of it all, he had met someone who would be his friend, and, he hoped, a guide at Hogwarts. He slowly got up, gripping his aching back as he shakily got to his feet...he had gone to bed earlier than usual but had still not gotten any rest...his dreams were plagued with nightmares, shadowy people and creatures and shady terrors which were still lurking in his mind even in consciousness.

I've got to get out of here quickly, I've got to get on the train! Now where's my map...hmm...

MacLeod fumbled through one of his bags for his map of Diagon Alley, King's Cross Station, and the surrounding areas, quickly put on his robes, and quickly made his way to the Hogwarts Express.

Should I give Liadan her space on the train or meet with her again? He wondered. He hoped that if he found her he wouldn't seem like he was following her everywhere...he was simply excited and wanted to talk with her some more. He took one last look at platform nine and three-quarters, storing the image into his memory, and boarded the train, using a simple floating spell to lift his luggage up with him. He swished his wand, causing the luggage to land, and left the storage department to look for Liadan...
