We're starting role play today!! Dont go any farther than your character being on the Hogwarts Express!! I dont want any one to get behind!!

Juniper raced down the train, looking for a compartment where she would either find Daniel or Ricky.

"Where is he?" Dan asked himself. "He was supposed to be here fifteen minutes ago..."

MEANWHILE

Ricky burst through the brick wall leading into platform 9 3/4.
"Dan is so going to kill me!"
The station was virtually empty except for a large group of people by the door at the end of the train. Ricky knew that Dan was sitting in the back of the train - he always was. How was he going to get through?
"EXCUSE ME!!!" he shouted. The group parted, revealing five heads squeezed out of one window and four people standing in front of it.
"Yes?" One of the people standing outside asked. He had tangled black hair, round glasses, and brilliant green eyes. But one thing drew Ricky's attention. A lightning shaped scar.
He knew immediatly who this was. Anyone would have. Even after (about) 22 years the Daily Profit was still writing about how he triumphed over Voldemort.
"Ummm..." Ricky thought for a moment. If he stayed Dan would have no choice but to kill him...
"could I get through?"
"Why?" Asked the one who obviously had to be Ron Weasley, the destroyer of the locket horcrux.
"I want on the train." Ricky responded sternly.
"Ron let him on the train." Two girls said at once. One had bushy brown hair, the destroyer of tht goblet horcrux, and the other was proffesor Potter, who taught Charms at Hogwarts.
"Fine." Ron responded simply.
<<sorry for writing so much, I wanted to start it good. And apparently Ricky is my main character, even though I want Dan... so they are equal.>>

Hailey sat cautiously on the edge of her seat, nervously checking the door to her compartment. She had changed into her school robes immediatly after boarding the train, and was fortunate enough to find a compartment for herself. Every time a shadow passed the doorway, she panicked. She didn't want a replay of last year's train ride. She had been stuck in a compartment with an overly helpful fourth year student, and she could think of nothing but hitting him with a powerful curse, but unfortunatly that would have resulted in her expulsion from Hogwarts school for witchcraft and wizardry.
Another shadow passed the doorway, but this one stopped. She heard someone pulling on the doorway, her heart sped, then the door opened...

Emma LeHaye, a Ravenclaw 3rd year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, is on her way to the train station to start another year of school.

"Mom stop crying" Emma said pleaded, "Its my third year!! You should be used to me leaving by now. You did this the last two years and its really embarrassing!!" Emmas mother was bawling in the front passenger seat of the family's minivan. Emma is a witch but her parents are muggles (non magic folk.) Emma doesnt mind though because she really loves her mom and dad. Even when they get a little dramatic!!

Her dad was just pulling into the train stations parking lot when her mother finally stopped crying. She turned her tear stained face and smiled at her daughter. "Your right Emm. Im sorry. Ill be brave just for you!!" She turned back around trying to keep a smile on her face.

As Emma lugged her truck, backpack, and snowy owl Sammy (who was squaking noisily) into the train station her mother couldnt hold her tears back any longer. She started crying in the middle of the train station. Emmas father carefully guided her towards Emma who was walking far ahead of them trying to pretend she didnt know them!!

She reached the barrier that seperated the main station to platform 9 3/4. She walked right through it with out even hesitating and her parents tryed to quickly follow but her mother was having trouble keeping up with all the crying she was doing.

Emma came through the barrier and turned to see the Hogwarts Express, steaming smoke bursting out of it. It was 15 minutes to 11 o'clock. She better hurry Emma thought to herself!! She quickly turned to her parents and kissed them both. her mother wouldnt let go!! Her father finally prid her out of her mothers clutches and Emma turned towards the train again and yelled back to her parents that shed write everyday!! Her parents slowly turned around and walked out through the barrier heading home. Her mother bawling and her father trying but failing to comfort her.

Now that Emma was free of her parents she turned around and was wondering were her friend Cliff and the others were!! She grabbed her trunk off the ground and headed out to find them!!

<< Sorry!! I know its really long!! I just wanted to get a good start and to try to explain Emma. Ill do a begining for David tommorow!! Im just saying all of our characters are friends OK!!

As Ricky entered the train an averaged height girl, with elbow length brown braids rushed right passed him, without noticing him.

Daniel was a very impatiant guy, but this was way to insane. "RICKY!" he screamed rushing from the compartment, and bolted down the isle, and passed Juniper, his friend. "YOU"RE DEAD!"

Daniel eventually collided with Ricky who was rushing through the isle. Both boys sat up at the same time. Daniel glared at Ricky for a moment.
"Sorry?" Ricky tried.

Cliff wandered through the train's hallway, hoping to find an empty compartment, or at least one that didn't have his step-sister Hailey hidden inside. He'd had enough of her jokes and tricks over the summer, and didn't want to deal with them anymore on the way to school. At least at Hogwarts he was in Ravenclaw, and she was in Gryffindor, so he wouldn't have to see her as often. She might even find someone else to bother. Maybe he wouldn't even find her on the train, he was hopeful for the last thought.

He was so deep in thought that he didn't notice two younger boys, one third year, one second, sitting on the floor. He walked right into one of them, and lost his balance, falling right on top of them.

"Oww." He said, then glanced at the two boys. One was glaring at the other, but he recognized them from the previous year. Daniel and Ricky, he thought. "What are you doing in the middle of the hallway?" he questioned while he stood up. He wiped the dust off of his pantlegs, and waited for the answer.

"Cause we fell!" Dan snapped. Cliffs face looked strange, almost in hatred. "I'm sorry. Ricky was really late, which made me angry. You know how I get when I'm angry?" Daniel got up on his own, but Ricky was helped up by Cliff.
"I'll go change now." Ricky said and he ran off, even before Dan shouted:
"But you haven't even been to the compartment!" Ricky ignored him and kept running. He wanted to get changed before the train began to move, that was in thirteen minutes.

((guys, don't worry about writing too much.))
Juniper fell to the floor as Ricky ran past her.
"Wait!..." she called, but it was too late. She jumper up and started walking in the opposite direction, towards Dan.
"Hey Dan, how are you?" Juniper inquired.

David O'Brian was walking down the aisle of the Hogwarts Express looking for his friends. The train was leaving in 10 minutes and he still hadnt found anyone yet. He'd already found an empty compartment and changed into his school robes. His barn owl, Murphy had been exeptionally quiet ever since he'd passed through the barrier onto platform 9 3/4.

This was his third year at Hogwarts and he loved ever minute of it!! He was in Griffindor house along with his best friend Hailey Pince, who's the daughter of the librarian. He went out one of the trains doors and almost bumped into a girl with brown braids. <<I hope you were talking to me before Andy!!>> "Sorry" he said automatically the girl looked as if she had just gotten onto the platform due to her still having her trunk and snowy owl with her. The girl looked up into Davids' face and smiled. "Hey David how was your summer!!"

David suddenly recognized her as Emma LeHaye, one of his friends from Hogwarts. Even though they were in different houses they were in the same year so they saw each other often.

"It was ok" he replied happily, "Do you need any help with your trunk?" Emma nodded happily. "Thanks!!" David helped her with her trunk and owl Sammy, who happily sqauked the whole time.

He helped her into the train and started down the aisle towards his compartment. "Do you mind sitting with me?" David asked her. "No" Emma said quickly, "Where are the others?"
"Don't know. I haven't seen them yet" David replied. Just then they passed their friend Juniper who was talking to Daniel, another one of their friends. He smiled at them and they quickly followed him and Emma down the aisle into their compartment. "So where are you guys sitting??" David asked Dan and Juniper curiously,"Emma and I were going to sit here but I guess if we can find the others we could all sit together!"

"I dunno. I just picked a random, empty compartment, just a place to put my trunk before I found you guys." Juniper replied.

Zynea walked down the train, carrying her trunk. She settled for a compartment where she saw Juniper's very distinct trunk; it was black with white polka dots and a picture of Minnie Mouse on it (Junpier is an exchange student from America)

"Oh ok" David replied to Juniper."Where are you sitting Dan?", Emma asked him, "Are you sitting with Ricky?"

"Can I join you guys? I don't want to sit alone. Though I bet Zynea found my trunk." Juniper said thoughtfully.

Amberlynn Goyle was walking toward the Hogwarts express, the train she was forced to get on every year.
Her father wasn't very bright, so she could easily convinse him that is was wrong to get on the express, it was her mother who was very strict. She was absolutly positive that Amber would benifet from going to school.
She had only 7 minutes before the scarlet steam engine took off towards the old hag and her stupid school.
"Good Bye," she said hoping that her mum would change her, mind- she didn't.
"Have fun!" Her mother said cheerfully.
"Yeah, like that is possible." Amberlynn said under her breath.
***
On the train she had imediatlty gone to change into her school robes. When she was done, a second year student named Ricky had exited one of the other change rooms. He saw her and gasped. Slowly his frown changed to a smile...
"I'm second year now!" He cheered.
"So?" Amberlynn laughed questioningly.
"You said that you only pick on first years." he smiled.
"I'm in fourth year now, so I can pick on second years now too." Amber smiled wikedly.
Ricky ran as fast as he could.

((huh? gues, call me mayrose))
Juniper walked down to her compartment to see Zynea lifting her trunk to put it on the shelf above.
"Hey, I think we're moving compartments to sit with Dan and Ricky," she told Zynea.
"Oh, Ok. Then I guess I don't need to get this up here," Zynea mumbled. The two walked down the train.
"So, Dan, where are you sitting?" Juniper asked.

David noticed Cliff standing behind Dan. He was looking a little akward. "Hey Cliff" David said happily to him,"Do you want to sit with the rest of us?" Cliff didn't answer. Cliff and David had never been good friends. They always had hung out with different people in their group of friends, so they didn't talk too often. This conversation was a little akward for them both.

"So is everyone just going to sit together? In the same compartment I mean??" David asked everyone, "Where's Ricky, Hailey and Amberlynn anyway. The trains leaving in about 5 minutes!!"

<<Sorry about using Cliff, Laurena. I'm just trying to make up conversation since: (1) I forgot he was there before and(2) NO ONE ELSE IS WRITNG OUR STORY!! PLEASE WRITE SOMETHING SOON!! I'm REALLLLLLLLLY bored!!>>

Ricky found Dan talking with Cliff and David.
"Hey guys, I'm back." he said dragging his lugage towards the group. His cat Rodney trotting by his side.
"I'm exhausted. Let's find a compartment." He said tiredly.
Dan's jaw dropped open. "Okay one, I've been saying that all along. And Two you're really out of shape."
"Hey," Ricky started defensivly, "I've just had to run away from Amberlynn!" As he said this the train jerked forward.
"Let's find Hailey, Zynea, and Juniper." Dan said happily.

<<This is getting really confusing, because aparently Dan is with every single character we have. So let's just put them together and everything should be fine.>>
After the group of kids found Juniper and Zynea, they went looking for Hailey. Daniel, Juniper, Zynea, David, Emma, and Ricky, were all walking towards the only compartment they hadn't checked.
"Where's Cliff?" Ricky asked. Everyone stopped walking.
"There!" Dan yelled pointing the direction they had just come, where Cliff was tiptoeing away.
Ricky ran towards him. When he reached him, Cliff suddenly jumped around, picked Ricky up and flung him over his shoulder and ran away.
"W- w- what are y- y- y- you doing?!!" Ricky yelled Stuttering due to the fact that his stomach was smashing against Cliff's shoulder, and knocking the breath out of him.
Ricky lifted his head and saw Dan running after them. "Put m- m- me down!" Ricky yelled loudly.
He lifted his head again and Dan was right behind them.
Dan and Ricky had known each other forever, and Ricky always knew what Dan was thinking.
"NO!" Ricky yelled, "DAN DON'T!!!" It was a pointless effort. Dan dove towards the boys.
The three of them plummeted to the ground and rolled around a lot, Ricky smashed his head against a few doors, not to mention the floor.
Many heads were now sticking out of the compartment doors. The three boys finally rolled to a stop in front of another compartment door.
Professors Potter, Longbottom, and Arberstrong walked out of the compartment all taking their turns at kicking Dan's head.
"Sorry," They had all said. "What happened out here? Well whatever happened you are all coming in this compartment for half the ride to teach you a lesson." Professor Arberstrong said.

Amberlynn stuck her head out of her compartment and laughed. "Idiot's" she said

The door opened, and Hailey nearly screamed. Fortunately she recognized David's head peeking through the door. She sighed with relief. "Where have you been? I thought we decided we were going to meet here an hour before the train left to set pranks up for everyone! Oh!!" She gasped, she hadn't realized everyone else was behind David, and giving her a skeptical look. "I meant set a prank on Ricky." She said, saving herself. She'd noticed he wasn't in the hall. "Where are Ricky and Dan?" She asked.

'What are we doing in here?' Ricky asked Cliff, however Dan was the one who answered.
'We're being punished.'
'Why am I being punished?' Ricky asked. 'I was kidnapped, then tackled, and I'm getting punished?'
'Life's tough' Dan responded.
'Stop chatting!' Professor Arberstrong shouted. 'I'm leaving to do my route.'
As professor Arberstrong left the compartment Ricky burst.
'I didn't do anything!' He whined.
'You can leave.' Neville said.
'Arberstrong has no idea what it is like to be a child.' Ginny said. 'Cliff, Dan, you go too.
'Sweet.' Dan said, then he and Cliff left the compartment.
'Neville?... Er proffesor Longbottom, can you tell me the story of how you killed the wiked snake Nagini?' Ricky asked quietly. Ricky was completly obsessed about the entire legend thing.
'Rick, you've heard that story so many times, at the end of every Herbology class even.' Neville moaned.
'one last time? The abbreived version?'
'The hat was placed on my head, it caught fire, a sword hit my head, I grabbed the sword, the hat was off my head I sliced the snake, then it died, okay leave.' Neville said really quickly.
'Rushed much.' Ricky said under his breath.

Albus Potter was walking towards the changing booth, with his cousin Hugo. Two boys were waiting outside his mom's compartment, he ignored them. But as he was walking past, the door opened and through the door, he saw his mum she said: "Oh, Albus I almost forgot." then she rushed out to greet him."Look!" she pulled out a parcel, and handed ot to Albus. "open it!" He did what he was told. He pulled out a finely knit maroon jumper with the letters A.P. sewn onto it.
"oh." Was all he said. He felt his face go red, and beside him Hugo snickerd.
'Oh, Hugo I didn't see you there, you've got one too! You're so lucky you have a grandma like mum.'
Hugo pulled out his jumper which had the letters H.W. sewn onto it.
"I- Er love it?" He tried. His face too was turning red.
"I told Mum that I'd make sure you wore them often!'
'Oh no!' the boys said together, and they ran away.

"Ricky, Dan AND Cliff (he's isn't here either if you didn't notice) are in the professor's compartment." David replied annoyingly <<Lets just say some of the teachers go on the train and they have there own compartment>> "Why are they in the Teachers Compartment" Hailey asked.
"Cliff and Ricky were "restling" AGAIN and Dan (being Dan) HAD to join in so they were rolling around and ran into the Teachers Compartment door and Professor Arberstrong got them in trouble and now they have to sit in their compartment for half the train ride!!" David stated in an annoyed voice.

Juniper called down the train.
"Dan, Ricky, get down here!" she called with her arms crossed, her foot tapping, and a big smile on her face.

"We're back!" Ricky cheered, rushing into the compartment.
"Yeah, and it is all thanks to Ginny and Neville!" Dan added.

Just then Dan, Cliff, and Ricky came into there compartment. "Here you are," Cliff said, "Professor Potter and Longbottom let us go early. There really nice!!" Ricky snickered. Cliff gave him a you-better-stop-or-i'm-going-to-pound-you look. Ricky stopped laughing. "Ok so everyone's here?" Hailey asked. Everyone nodded. "OK, so I guess we could use this compartment and the empty one across the hall, cause there's no way we're all going to fit in this compartment!!" Hailey stated happily. They all agreed and decided to use one as the girls compartment and one as the boys. The boys all went off to the compartment across the hall with their luggage and pets and the girls organized all their things in the other one. Emma was the only one who wasn't in her school robes yet so she quickly changed into them and joined the rest of the girls in their conversation. <<Sorry g2g for supper!! I'll be back in about 20 minutes!! So wait for me if you can!!>>

Juniper realized she wasn't in her school robes either. She never really liked the robes. They were plain and black, though she often got in trouble for wearing colorful bangles and bright headbands. She walked ruefully to the changing rooms where she added her signature flair. What, she thought, is the point o being a wizard if I can't look good?

"So how were your summers?" Emma asked Hailey, Zynea, and Juniper(who had just got back from the changing rooms.)

Juniper replied first.
"Mine was fantastic! My parents took me to France, and we went shopping! Oh my god, the clothes are SO amazing. That's where I got this headband," she said as she showed them a black headband with bright polka dots.

Zynea replied next.
"It was fun. I found a pathway in the woods where I can fly my broom."

"So how were your summers?" Ricky asked Cliff, David ,and Dan.

"Alright, but I think my mum snapped, I swear she's fully crazy now." Dan answered.

Emma answered her own question!! "Well I went to Ireland to visit my Uncle Henry and then I went to my aunts farm in Oxford and rode some of her horses and stayed there for a week!! It was an amazing summer!! But im glad to be back at school!! I LOVE it here!! No muggles!! I have to spend all my time with them at home AND I get to use magic!! So YEAH!! Emma laughed happily.

"Yeah my mom's alittle crazy too but thats just her so anyway my summer was kinda boring but it always is cause thers no one to play tricks on. He smiled evilly. Ricky jumped up from his seat and grabbed a jelly eel ((Is that something in the wizarding world))"Very funny Dave" Ricky said sarcastically. "You always play jokes on me." David just shrugged while trying not to laugh.

Junper got up.
"I'm going to go see what the uys are talking about." Juniper was always one to hang out with the guys and run around and play pranks, even as much as she loved fashion.
"Hey guys, what are you people talking about?" she said, slinding open the door and leaning against it.

"Just about our summers" David said with a smile on his face. "What are you girls talking about?" Juniper noticed Ricky holding a jelly eel and looking sulky. She just shook her head. She didn't want to know! <<Sorry MP just wanted your character to notice Ricky. Bye g2g. I'll be on at 5 o'clock tommorow. See yas!!>>

((that's fine))
"Same thing. But I'd rather talk about... what jokes to play on Professor malfoy." She said with a sly grin.

"You should bring Hailey over here than cause she'd love to prank Malfoy!!!" David said excitedly, "So would I though!!" He laughed hysterically.

the compartment door to the boys room slid open. Amberlynn stuck her head in and said "what are you losers doing?"

Juniper relpied.
"We're deciding how to prank Malfoy."

"Oh really, well I'm sure he'd love to know..." Amber replied.

Just then Juniper decided to go get Hailey so they could strategize some evil scemes together. She went across the hall to get Hailey but she came back with Emma and Zynea also!! "What are all of you doing over here??" David asked with a twinge of annoyance in his voice, "It's too crowded in here!!"

"And?" Juniper replied. "We need to plan," she said with an evil laugh. Then she laughed a happy laugh.

"Well it's too crowded!!", David said sulkily, "Whoever is making plans to trick people, Stay Here!! Whoever isn't can go to the other compartment!!" No one moved. "Come on", David said in a whiny voice, "All of us can't be making plans to trick people. This is so stupid."

"Sorry" David said when everyone gave him a stop-whining look, "I just want the train ride to be fun and relaxing. School's ok but I love hanging out with you guys, my friends!!"

"Yeah. But we all want to be included in these schemes!!" Emma said stubbornly, "So i'm not leaving" She stood straight and stamped her foot. She meant business.

"Besides" David said, "We only have about half an hour of the train ride to go!! So lets do something ALREADY!!" He stood up at this with his fists clenched and his teeth gritted. He was getting quite irritated and everyone knew this, so they didn't push the matter any further.

"Come on Cliff," Ricky said, so Cliff and Ricky followed David out of the room. Rodney ran behind Ricky and Cliff carried Artimus who was squaking excitedly.
When the three boys sat in the other compartment Ricky said, "Did you know this is the exact seat that Harry Potter - the destroyer of the diary horcrux, and Voldemort- sat in?"

"Ricky we know what Harry did." Cliff said annoyed.
