There were people all around, saying goodbye, searching frantically through their things. Gabi rolled her eyes as one younger student stopped right in front of her because he had dropped his owl.

She watched as one, and moments later the other, ducked into a compartment. If it was at all possible, she'd rather share with girls from her own house.
"Hate to be a bother," she said stopping outside of their compartment, "but woud you mind if I join you?"

She picked up her magazine for a moment and tried to find where she'd left off. But it seemed to be a fruitless search. "So Emiko, how was your summer? Glad to be going back to school?"

She was about to rifle through it and find something to do until she was adressed by Gabriella. She looked up with a bit of a shrug.
"It was fine, I guess. Blew by quicker than I could count the days, though."
She decided not to mention how dismayed she actually was about not going to France with her parents and being stuck at Hogwarts again when she replied thoughtfully, "it's always a little refreshing at the start of a new year. Future prospects and all. How about you? Anything interesting occur over break?"

"Well, Blodwyn, here goes our final trip."

She gave a bit of a sincere smirk at this last one. The tooth-numbing sweets, every once a year, were something she did enjoy.

She was actually starting to see her two companions for the trip as more than just familiar faces from the halls of school. Though this was a long stretch since only minutes had passed.
Not wanting to start off on a bad foot, she decided to let the girls continue on their conversation without her rather than disturb them. She lifted a magazine out of her bag and began flipping through it without interest, stopping every now and then to skim a page.

She smirked, looking back at the window. She could see a tiny town on the top of a hillside now. "Miles' baby," she added offhandedly. "Don't know what he sees in her."

But I will not tolerate a baby crying in the middle of the night. Bloody tramp.
Her eyes were fixed on Blodwyn's face for a moment before she turned her gaze out the window again. Her forehead rested against the cool glass and she couldn't help but laugh again.

"I suppose I could consider us friends," Blodwyn said instead, eyes on Gabriella. "Though her actions as of late have had me a little unsettled."
