    Gideon

    It felt like coming home every year, stepping onto the Hogwarts Express. Gideon couldn't suppress a smile. Even clumsy first years stumbling up and down the passage couldn't annoy him enough to wreck his mood. He found an empty compartment and stowed his stuff in the overhead, keeping the cage containing his Barn Owl, Hiccup, on the seat with him. Hiccup chirped contentedly when Gideon slid his cage over beside the window.

    "So, think we might have a shot at the Quidditch Cup this year, Val?" Gideon asked his best friend, Val Manchester, who entered the compartment right behind him. Val was just a few inches shorter than Gideon and definitely the more... cunning of the two. She had long brown hair pulled back in a braid and still had her muggle clothes on - an England national team football jersey, jeans, and a hoodie.


    Val

    "You're joking - a shot? We've got in nailed this time, Gid. I'm telling you, with you as Seeker, and that new Keeper? None of the other Houses will stand a chance." Val said confidently, her usual mischievous smirk crossing her face. Val stowed her stuff in the overhead too and tossed her backpack on the floor in front of her, taking the seat across from Gideon. Val had never had a pet at school - her parents had only promised her an owl once she did well on her OWLS. It felt like a breath of fresh air after the long summer, sitting on the Hogwarts Express with her best friend again. It was kind of crazy that they were already in their 5th year.

    JASPER BAINE | RAVENCLAW


    "Bye, Pixie," Jasper cooed to the German Shepherd, kissing the top of her head. They couldn't have left her at home while his parents brought him to the Hogwarts Express - after five years of this, they didn't stare at everything in awe anymore - and Jasper's heart ached to be leaving Pixie behind. She'd been a birthday gift to him for his tenth birthday, Jasper not willing to get another pet when he found out a dog couldn't accompany him to Hogwarts. Standing up after giving her a few more pats (and wiping slobber off his face from where Pixie had licked him) he gave his parents both hugs of their own. "Bye, Mum. Bye, Dad." he said, backing off when he heard the train whistle, indicating it'd be leaving soon. I don't want to miss it, he thought, remembering last year when he had missed the Hogwarts Express and it'd been chaos trying to get him to school. Well, it hadn't been chaos when he'd actually been on his way - it was quite easy, in fact - it was chaos beforehand, with his mother screaming and his father lecturing him.


    Bounding onto the train, Jasper swung his backpack containing various possessions of his - including a poster that didn't move, something that still awed the purebloods he shared a dorm with after five years - onto his back, glancing in every compartment he passed by as he searched for two certain people. After much searching, (it seemed a lot longer than it actually was), Jasper caught sight of Val and Gideon in one compartment, deserted except for the two of them.


    "Found you!" he exclaimed happily, throwing open the compartment door. "You two don't know how much of a struggle it was to get here on time; Mum didn't want a repeat of last year." he told them, plopping down in one of the open seats. He placed his backpack on his lap, stretching his arms out high above his head and grinning with satisfaction when he heard them crack loudly. He had literally arrived to the Hogwarts Express in his pyjamas, rolling up the sleeves of his large sweatshirt and crossing his legs, which were clad in a pair of sweatpants. "How was everyone's summers~?" Jasper asked, a wide grin decorating his face.

    Gideon

    "Great to see you again, Jasper!" Gideon said, giving Jasper a friendly punch on the arm. "Glad to see you decided to show up this year." Gideon joked, referring to the year before when Jasper had totally missed the train. It had become a running joke that he'd been trying to skip school.

    "My dad got a big commission from some rich guy in France so I spent half my summer in Paris. Not as much fun as it sounds when you don't know French..." Gideon reflected as he opened Hiccup's cage and stroked the owl on his head. Hiccup fluttered out to sit on Gideon's arm.


    Val

    "Oh my gosh, you would not shut up about Paris! Every owl I got was all 'the other day in Paris blah blah blah'! Meanwhile, my mum got me into a Quidditch training camp with the Harpies. You guys just watch - I'm going to be the fastest Chaser in the school this year. And you two, heading it off for the Snitch? That'll be fun to watch." Val said with a laugh. She couldn't help getting excited so much as thinking about Quidditch, especially with her two best friends around. They'd met way back in their first year on the Hogwarts Express, before they'd gotten separated into different houses, and the trio had just sort of stuck from there. Jasper shared Val's love for pranks and grand escapes and when all three of them had made their quidditch teams? It wasn't odd for professors to compare them to the legends Harry Potter, Hermoine Granger, and Ron Weasley.

    ———— Jemma Parker ————

    LYRICS GO HERE

    Jemma smiled as she waved goodbye to her parents a bright smile on her face. " Bye mum! Bye dad! Good luck in Scotland!" she exclaimed jumping through the 9 3/4 platform a rather Grim expression on her face as she entered the train, bags in hand. Her parents were going on a dig in Scotland and she wouldn't be able to hear from them, She knew that she would have to spend time at the school for the summer but she didn't mind. Entering the train she placed her luggage in the compartment and brought out her favorite book. The leather bound pages of the poetic Edda being translated before her eyes thanks to the glasses she managed to get. She Loved mythology and she managed to get a copy of one of the only Norse mythology books, written in its original language. It was worth a fortune but her parents got it for 10 pounds, which was a steal. She was currently reading the chapter known as the Lokasenna. The chapter where loki admits to baldurs death. She clung to every word on the page before hearing the conversation of the ever famous jasper, Val and Gideon. she actually didn't have a problem with jasper, she just never got around to talking to him. However the female seemed to have deep seeded anger towards the other two. As Gideon spoke about his trip to Paris she used her hand to mimic his talking before slipping on her headphones. She noticed his owl and sighed. She never was able to get an owl or most of the magical supplies everyone else had, only necessities. She didn't even have a broom and she was planning to try out for Quidditch which val was bragging about. Letting out a low growl she sank into her seat and continued to read her book


    "Speech."

    JASPER BAINE | RAVENCLAW


    Jasper rolled his eyes when Gideon playfully punched him, joking about how Jasper had showed up. He rubbed the spot on his arm where Gideon had hit him, a grin spreading across his face. "Yes, Hogwarts seemed to appeal to me this year." he retorted, the other boy continuing on with his words to talk about spending half of his summer in Paris - which was hard if you didn't know French, Gideon stated.


    Val spoke up, saying that he hadn't shut up about Paris, and she'd managed to get into a training camp with the Holyhead Harpies, a fact that made Jasper almost fall out of his seat. "At fifteen years old?" he exclaimed, surprised. Her mother was a coach, yes, but not many people would appreciate a fifteen-year-old rolling up to a professional team's training camp. Her Mum must've really pulled some strings. Val continued talking, her words changing from the Harpies camp to the Hogwarts teams, claiming she'd be the fastest Chaser this year before exclaiming about Jasper and Gideon, fighting for the snitch.


    "Your guys' team seems good this year, but wait until you play the Ravenclaw team!" Jasper cheered, throwing his hands up in the air. "One of our chasers graduated, of course, but Hayden told me that he's already scoped out someone new who he says is really good, he just has to convince her to try out." he explained. Hayden was the team's Captain, having a position as Beater on the team; he was in the same year as Jasper and his friends, and shared a dorm with him. Turning to Gideon, Jasper raised his fists in a fighting stance. "I can't wait until we face off," he teased.

    So I'm going to make Val Gryffindor's captain just to simplify things

    in CHARACTER

    Gideon

    "You mean, you can't wait to lose? Because Gryffindor is going to win the Cup this year, not even a question! I mean with Val Manchester the quidditch pprodigy on our team, how could we not?" Gideon balked back. He'd almost forgotten Val had inheirted the captain position on their team after Sam Wagner, their former Keeper, had graduated the year before.


    Val

    Val's face turned bright red when Gideon started bragging. She really was good, especially after the Harpies camp that summer. Her mother had pulled quite a few strings, truth be told. Val was trying to make a professional team after graduating and the Harpies had taken her up as junior reserve player to scout out her skills for down the road. She had all kinds of awesome ideas for the Gryffindor team now that she couldn't wait to try out. They would need a new beater and a new chaser though, they were still short a couple players.

    "Don't worry, Jasper, we won't go too hard on the Ravenclaw team... Just Slytherin." Val said, leaning back in her seat and crossing her arms confidently.

    Just then, the familiar sound of the candy lady coming up the passage turned up outside their compartment. Val got up and stopped the old lady, pulling out her money - she'd waited all summer for a candy frog. "You guys want anything?" She asked her friends. Rolling Green hills could be seen outside the windows now.

    Yawning some, Alejandro looked at the time and mumbled. Until it hit him. He was going to be late! Rushing out of bed, he quickly showered, brushed his teeth, and grabbed some toast on the go as he was thankful his parents had packed his bags ahead of time.


    Running as he barely made it, he finished the toast and ran onto the train panting. "Made it!" He said as he was sweating in his clothes. Looking around at the first years that looked at him, he ignored them as he pushed his hair back as he winked at some of the females as he walked pass them. Walking through, he saw Jemma and walked in sitting across from her.


    "Nice to see you again senõrita!" He said as he sat back and closed his eyes relaxing for a bit. "I see your in a good book again."

    Jemma continued to read before perking up at the familiar voice she knew as alejandro. Marking her page she set the book down and sighed. " let me tell you norse myths are no joke. Did you know loki killes baldur with mistletoe of all things?!" she rambled. " although says after ragnarok he is supposed to rise from the ashes as the god of the new world which christianity seemed to branch off from" she added. " how was your summer ?" She asked before asking is she could have jelly beans and twizzlers then promptly turning back to the male

    JASPER BAINE | RAVENCLAW


    "Ravenclaw never gets any credit." Jasper sighed dramatically as both Gideon and Val starting saying how no other house had any chance of beating the Gryffindor Quidditch team. Usually, most games came down to the Seekers, so Jasper was going to have to try his darnedest when the time came for him to face off against Gideon. At Val's comment that they'd go easy on Ravenclaw but not Slytherin, a broad grin spread across Jasper's face. "As long as you guys don't lose to Slytherin," he reasoned. As much as he tried being friendly to the students who were Slytherins - smiling at them and being helpful like he always was to the other houses - he had to admit, they seemed to be a bit of a rotten bunch, most of them.


    The lady with the trolley came by, Val standing up immediately to get some candy. With one check of his pockets, Jasper realized with a sigh that he only had his Muggle money on him; he'd forgotten to convert it. "Val, can you buy me some Bertie Bott's jellybeans and a chocolate frog?" he asked hopefully, giving her the greatest puppy-dog eyes he could gather up. "I can pay you back at some point, I don't have anything right now." he added, holding up the Muggle money he had to show her.

    Sitting back, the Latino male stretched and put his arms behind his back. "Well I went to my uncle's who lives in the country. He taught me some magic but it was boring not having anyone to mess with." He soon looked into his bag and pulled out his wallet to see what he had on him. "Besides that when I got back home I practiced baking and made some cookies... Which I just realized I left at home." He groaned some and sighed. "Anyways how was your summer? Knowing you it must of been fascinating!"

    Jemma laughed. " leave it to you to forget everything" shebreplied light heartedly paying the woman. " I got a copy of the poetic edda its more recent republished after the descovery of the original, first edition so its expensive bit I managed to get it for 10 pounds" she replied proudly. " I went to see my sister too. The one that graduated two years ago. Apparently she got into the scotland Quidditch team as a seeker" she replied. " then my parents took me on a archeological dig to identify items and collect information. " she sighed dreamily. " maybe I can take you next time, or are you allergic to learning" she laughed light heartedly

    Val

    "No problem Jasper, don't worry about it." Val said, grabbing a couple extra of everything. With both her parents a well-employed witch and wizard, money had never really been a problem in their family. She wasn't rich, really, just comfortable enough to have a nice broom and an allowance. She paid the old lady and dumped their candy haul on the seat beside Gideon where Hiccup the owl tried to steal a pumpkin pasty.

    Jemma sighed seeing as she didn't get a reply. Shaking her head she went back to reading her book her eyes darting from word to word. Slowly eating her jellybeans as she had her eyes glued to every word on the page. Soon enough the train pulled up into hogwarts. Bursting to her feet she grabbed her suitcase her book in hand and made her way outside. Brushing back her fiery red hair she checked in and made her way to the court yard. " ah finally" she smiled taking a deep breath. She made her way to the slytherin girls dorm. Dropping off her stuff she began to make her way back to the courtyard greeting the professors and students along the way.

    "yeah sounds fun." He said that way to late as he saw the express stopped. "Man I passed out. Sorry senõrita! I fainted just from looking at your beauty." Getting out of the train with his bags, he smiled at the others as some students just blushed while the ones who knew him kept their distance. Sighing, he dropped off his stuff as he got changed. "This shall be fun." With that the male walked outside to find some fun.
