Sept 1 Outfit

Rose was a sixth year, and she could barely believe it. She took in the platform as she came through the barrier. If only the eleven-year-old version of her could see her now. First year Rose would probably be intimidated, but she would be impressed by Rose's skills, and how much she had grown, too. It was weird to be here, without Faith, who wouldn't even be going to Hogwarts this year anyway. But it hurt to remember that she wouldn't even be here to see them off. The green-eyed girl was still blatantly ignoring her older brother, who came onto the platform not long after her.

She said goodbye to her mother, giving her a hug and promising to write, like always. Rose and her siblings had been through a lot in the past year, but their mother had been through even more, with the divorce. Rose hated how empty the house felt with all five of them in it, and now it would just be her mother. Yes, Pearl had not been the most perfect maternal figure in the past, but Rose was learning, slowly, that she always did the best she could, and the redhead couldn't be mad at her for long.

With her last goodbye and reminder to her mother that she loved her, Rose headed towards the train. Her siblings had already found their friends, and it wasn't long before Rose bumped into a friend of her own- Mylo. Chaska, who had been sitting atop Rose's luggage, happily greeted the younger student, having met them during summer camp. The two of them had a brief greeting before boarding the train, and searched for somewhere they could sit.

"Umm..." Rose looked in the compartments as they passed, many of them getting full. Then, they found one with just one girl in it- she looked fairly young, with thick dark hair, and her nose in a book. "What about this one?" she asked Mylo. Rose opened the door. "Hey- are these seats taken?" she asked.

OOC: I had to plug in that book because it's a great read! Otherwise, I wouldn't know how to prolong my post.

┏ ┓ Promise had done all this before, going through the wall into platform nine and three quarters, waving goodbye to her family, except this time she was doing it as a second year. She couldn't believe she was a second year now, if felt like just yesterday she had received her letter. Promised hugged and waved a farewell to her family, and walked over to the train, the sound of other children screaming there last goodbyes to there families before yet another year at Hogwarts. As Promise entered the train, she had to dodge so many other kids as they entered compartments. Promise decided she too would need to find a compartment, she didn't find anyone familiar around the train, so she thought she might need to find a place to sit with strangers. She peaked into ever compartment as she passed them, and she couldn't really find any empty ones, not even any with not many people, or one that wasn't filled to the brim. She kept going until she saw one with one person inside, there were two people outside the compartment, she walked over, and thought there was probably enough room for her, which was more then what she could say about all the other compartments. She heard one of them ask whether the seats were taken, and the girl from inside the compartment responded by saying that they weren't. "Hi, could I also sit with you? I can't find an empty compartment." Promise said. ┗ ┛

WC 321/200	Color Legend - Mylo | Thoughts

As they passed many compartments, all of them full of other students, Mylo was starting to lose hope ever so slightly that they'd find a suitable place to sit. Although Ash, their cat, didn't seem to share the same sentiments. Already having found a place to sleep on Mylo's shoulder, having draped himself over it in a position that Mylo didn't believe was comfortable although the small chainsaw noise next to their ear would tell them otherwise.

As Rose and he neared another compartment Rose looked in and seemed to see available spots, as she turned to them and asked his opinion. Peering around her they looked through the window and saw that there was only one other student sat there, nodding his agreement to Rose she went and opened the door, asking if the other seats were taken. A small no being said by the occupant of the compartment.

Feeling relieved at the fact that they had found a place to sit Mylo moved more towards the doorway, making sure to keep their distance slightly from the girl before turning towards her. "Uhm, hey. Are you okay with cats? We both have one" He said, pointing towards Chaska and Ash. "and although Ash is fast asleep here, Chaska might need a bit more wrangling to keep away from you." They asked a small smile on their face as they looked at Chaska, remembering the very affectionate first greeting they'd gotten from her, and hoping that she wouldn't have a problem with the cats.

As they finished their question another student appeared, another unfamiliar face, asking if she too could sit in the compartment. Mylo turned towards her, keeping an ear out for the reply from the student already sitting in the compartment.

"I'm okay with that, uhm. One thing though we do have cats. Are you okay with them? Ash is asleep but Chaska might be a bit more tricky."

Mylo nodded their agreement to her chosen compartment. At her question, the young girl told her that the seats were not taken, and she smiled. "Thank you," she said, coming inside. Then, Mylo mentioned to the girl already in the compartment about their cats, and his comment couldn't be closer to the truth. Rose's cat, Chaska, had been following the pair of Hogwarts students since Rose had to take her trunk off the trolley and haul it on the train with her. As she came in, she hoisted it over her head, putting it on the rack above the seats, and then taking a seat next to the window on the bench across from the girl. Thankfully, she responded that she was fine with cats, and that they were adorable. "Sorry- what's your name?" she asked her. Rose's voice was gentle, as usual, a shade softer than most might speak, and though her American accent had faded over the years she lived here, it still peeked through in some words she said.

Chaska followed her inside, and then jumped up next to the dark-haired girl. She sat facing her, her wide-eyed expression clearly expectant, especially because she was sitting so pretty. "She wants you to pet her," the redhead laughed. It was one of the quirks of Chaska: she knew how irresistible her fur looked, so long and silky, and she was willing to annoy anyone for some attention. "If you don't want to, she'll get over it. But if you want to, be my guest."

Rose's attention was then turned to another girl, who expressed that she also couldn't find any room, and that a lot of compartments were getting full. Rose nodded as Mylo, not wanting to make anyone uncomfortable, warned her, too, about their cats. "Yeah, of course," she agreed.

Rose looked out the window as the train started to move, and Platform Nine and Three Quarters started to slide away. Rose caught sight of her mother, who was waving at the departing train, and smiled. She then turned to the newest girl to join their compartment. "What's your name?" she asked.

┏ ┓ Promise stood in the opening of the compartment, it seemed like the train was getting ready to go on it's way to Hogwarts, but unfortunately she didn't have anyone to sit with, especially since most of the compartments were full. Thankfully, they said they were okay with her joining them. The one who responded also asked her if she was ok with there cats. "Thanks, and yes, I'm ok with cats." She responded, giving a brief smile. She sat down in the empty seat and just in time too, the train was just rolling out of king cross, and on it's way to Hogwarts. Promise looked around the compartment, but eventually she took her gaze out the window, and watched people outside wave there children goodbye. She looked for her parents, but it looked like they had already left. Promise watched the families on the the platform untill they were too behind to be spotted. Promise watched the train leave the station in silence, thinking about her last experience in this very train. Promise still found it difficult to believe that she was to be a second year, it felt like her first day at hogwarts was only yesterday. She heard someone ask for her name, so she turned and answered, "Oh, I'm Promise." She replied and gave another brief smile. "What's your name?" She asked. ┗ ┛

Mylo was very glad to hear nobody had any problems with them bringing their cats into the compartment. Moving into the small room they put their bag onto the rack above the seats and sat down, watching as Chaska immediately started seeking attention from the new person, they honestly hadn't expected anything else. Trying to disturb Ash as little as possible they slowly moved him onto their lap so that Mylo could rest their head against the seat without worrying about squishing the small cat.

Ash let out a small noise of annoyance but let Mylo move him and immediately started sleeping again. Mylo truly did not know what he had done to wear himself out this much but if it meant he was it a good mood the rest of the day they'd be happy.

As the last person also entered and sat down Rose asked both of the other students for their names, which was a good thing to do as Mylo would likely have forgotten until it was awkward to ask. The new girl immediately answering. Feeling like they needed to say something as well as their dad had told them it might be good to be a bit more social they turned towards the group.

"Uhm.. hi! I'm Mylo, second year. Have you guys been before?" Realising that sounded a bit weird they stumbled trying to correct. "Oh, uhm.. I mean are you guys first years or older?"
