Bailey's jaw dropped in surprise as a Ravenclaw girl came in without warning, stowing her bags and sitting down across from her, a cat making itself comfortable in her lap. Toby clicked his beak nervously, shuffling his wings. As she attempted to process this unexpected entrance, the boy - Adrian had been his name - sneered something at the new girl, making her bite her lip nervously as the situation seemed to spiral down again into new depths of uncomfortableness. She despised conflict...
However, just as she'd started to consider apologetically moving to a different compartment, to prevent herself from messing things up even further, Adrian spoke up again, less harshly this time. A wave of relief swept over her, as she thought that, perhaps she could make it through the hour or so of travel remaining until they got to Hogwarts without making a fool of herself, after all. "Well," she said quietly to the newcomer, "I-I certainly don't mind... m-my name's Bailey," she added, smiling once more. Thinking hard, she tried to recall what had been said before the Ravenclaw girl had come in.
"Oh, yes," she said aloud, "you'd asked us who our favorite teachers were... um, I suppose I'd have to say Proffessor Hagrid." She stuck a fine-boned finger through the bars of her disgruntled owl's cage, scratching his head absentmindedly. "He knows so much about all kinds of creatures... that's what I'd like to do when I get older, probably." Her smile broadened slightly. "Work with animals, I mean. What about the three of you?"

"Well, I don't know if I have a favorite teacher, but I'd like to be an Auror like my dad when I grow up." Alita smiled. "So I guess I don't have a favorite because the Defense Against the Dark Arts positon is cursed."
The congregation in the compartment was very strange. ONe person from every house, and they all seemed to be different in every way. In appearance, personality and attitude.
Speaking of attitude, Alita noticed a subtle look creep across Ardrian's face. It looked like a smile, but there was something else there too.
Hmm... well, people are weird.
"How about you two?"

"My favorite," I said with an intentional pause, make it seem like I wasn't sure, "I would have to say Professor Snape. He is very smart and I have learned a lot from him." I had to stop myself there. I couldn't really tell them how much I had learned because moat of my studies under him were of things that were banned. Snape had taught me potions and spells that no students were allowed to learn. "It is forbidden to teach a student this spell," Snape said to me once before, as he was teaching me a curse, "your amazing skill for learning and your unimaginable potential as a duelist cannot be ignored. So, watch carefully. Do you see the owl perched on the tree? He asked pointing out to a brownish gray owl that was staring down on us. We were out in the middle of the forest in the middle of one spring day. "Avada Kadavra!" I remember the stirring chill that ran through me as the tip of Snape's wand shot a green light. The owl didn't even have a moments notice. The dead animal dropped to the ground while I stood astounded. "Teach me," I said eager to learn the devastating curse. Greed, I suppose, had latched onto me. With that attack in my arsenal I would be invincible. I wanted so badly to learn it, I needed to learn it.
"Next year," he said to me with a nod. He had told me that there was not enough time in the remainder of the year to fully teach me how to perfect "The Killing Curse". For now, I would have to be patient, and so I was.
ooc: this is a horrible post.. lacking a ton of detail.. but I can't do anything to it now since I'm in school...

OOC: Indeed I am. Because I do not want my head to be eaten. Sorry about the major lateness, and that it's unbearably short. Sadie, Eve, you have permission to courtmarshal me into getting off Gaia for five minutes of my life. Through any means necesary. Other than telling Yoko.
Flicka gaped at Adrian's rude remark regarding her entrance into the cabinet, and was about to retort with something doubtlessly sarcastic which would probably have only caused the argument to progress further when the Hufflepuff girl - had she said her name was Bailey? - metnioned that he had asked their favorite teachers, and began going on about Hagrid. Seemingly, she was switching the subject to something less likely to cause a conflict. 'Okay, I can deal with that, boy.' She thought. 'But I won't forget that remark.' Leaping cheerfully into the conversation despite her irritated thoughts, Flicka spoke up, "My favorite teacher is professor Flitwick. Charms is my specialty - they're so useful, aren't they? And you can use some of those spells in ways that most people wouldn't think of, you know that? You just have to be creative. I mean, I like all of our classes, but charms is probably my favorite one." She grinned prettily, flashing rows of perfect white teeth. "My name's Flicka, by the way, if you didn't know me. I'm a sixth year."

"Ah," Bailey piped happily, "well it's nice to meet you, Flicka. Oh," she started, looking down in her lap, "of course! I'm so sorry, everyone, this is my owl. His name's Toby." She wrapped her arms around the cage, as the bird shifted from foot to foot, feeling more content now. "You probably think it's silly of me to feel as though I should introduce him, but... I've always thought animals understand quite a bit more than we might believe," she said, smiling at him apologetically.
Looking up, she shifted her attention to the cat in the new girl's lap, who stared back at her with considerably more disdain. "That's a very pretty cat you have," Bailey noted, blinking at the animal curiously. "Is she magical at all?"
OOC: Meh... short. -.-

OOC: I think it is... but Bailey's question was directed at Flicka. I guess either of them could go.
