Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Good...Good," he brother couksed. "Now, go!" Leya started toward the solid looking barier. People now were jumping to get out of her way. Jeremy's hand rested on her back, pressing her on. She was almost to it now. She scrunched her eyes and waited for the impack. It never came. She opened her eyes. The Hogwart's Express gleamed in golden letters surrounded by the red color of it. Leya smiled to Jeremy. "Can you help me with this?" she asked. "No," he replied. He laughed a big laughed heaved the trunk onto a rack in the middle of the train. Halloween was in her cage in Leya's arms. "Now, go find a compartment and stay there," he instructed. He smiled and gave her a warm hug. "Be careful, alright?" he asked quietly. He let got and Leya smiled sweetly to him. ""Of course." "Now go or you won't be able to find one." Leya nodded and headed into the train. She looked back for him, but he was gone.

Kasumi walked through the wall with Kurai right behind her. She was carrying the pets cages and he was carrying everything else. They entered the train and found an empty compartment. She set down the cages and let the kitten and owl out. Grass, the kitten, ran out fo the compartment adn off of the train. Kasumi gasped and chased after her cat. As she left the train she saw Grass climb up a stack of unstable suitcases and jump on top of the train. Kasumi sighed exasperatingly and jumped to a bar on the side of teh train. She swung from it until she was swinging fast enough then let go and landed unsteadly on the bar with her feet. she stood up carfully and grabbed another bar. She pulled herself up onto the top of the train. She could see Grass.

Leya picked a compartment near the back of the train, which looked empty. She sat down and opened Halloween's cage. She jumped out and stretched,arching her back. She curled up in a tight ball in the seat next to hers. Leya wondered where James was. He said he wuold meet her here but he hadn't show up yet. She shrugged and got out her book from her carry-on.

James hurried through the bustling crowd in King's Cross. His parents had left him to find the platform as usual. They seemed almost happy to get rid of him at Hogwart's and told him to stay for Christmas and Easter holidays. He sighed. A small group of people were making their way through the crowd as well. They had caught his attention because they all were dressed very oddly and one of them had a large barn owl sleeping in a cage. He decided to follow.

Leya slightly daysed and impresed with the entre', smiled to the girl. "No problem. I know cats." She looked down to Halloween and smiled again. "You can sit down if you want..."she added, suddendly feeling lonely at the thought of the girl leaving.

James followed the family and watched one by one as they ran though the barrier between platform 9 and 10. They all disappeared right at the barrier. James tapped the woman's shoulder. "Sorry, but, I'm trying to find Platform 9 3/4?" The woman gave a hearty smile. "Don't worry,dear. All you have to do is run straight at the barrier between platforms 9 and 10. You just fall though to the other side." She swept her arm past her toward what seemed to be the main runway. Other strange looking people had alklso gone through and now disappeared. James nodded and lined himself up. He started at a pace, the gradually grew, until he couldn't look anymore and-the expexted crash never came! He opened his eyes and he was threw! He quickly moved out of the way so not to get run over. He spotted Jeremy a little ways down the train, talking to Leya. Her black hair curled around her eyes. He smiled. Jeremy walked away, and Leya tried to look back at him, but he was gone. He quickly went to the train Leya was on and loaded his heavy trunk up the stairs and onto the baggage cart. He started looking through the compartments, looking for Leya.

Chris looked up to see a boy come into her compartment. (James, if you want it to be. If not, I'll just pretend it's some other dude.) Bobface flapped her wings uncomfortably. She was probably not supposed to be here but she sneaked Bobface in.

Chris said, "I don't mind. I wouldn't mind if a vampire and a werewolf walked in here. It's boring going to Hogwarts alone with Bobface screeching in your ear all the way there. Are you a first year?" She looked him up and down, he looked a bit immature to be even a second year.

"Okay, go ahead. I'm waiting for a friend to come too so we'll be a full compartment!" Leya seemed pleased with the arrangments. If only James would get here...
