I would love to join.
Name: Bronwyn Tanner
House: (we’ll find out!)
Year: 4th (see background)
Appearance: Straight elbow length mousy colour hair. She has hazel eyes. She has an athletic build and is about 5”6.
Personality: Friendly and kind, she isn’t extremely out going, and tends to have a bad habit of being distracted while other people are talking to her. She is Ok at making friends, but only if they show an interest in friendship back. She has a explosive temper, but has become more controlled over it.
Pets: She has a spotted owl named Starling.
Background: She is from England but went to Beauxbatons Academy of Magic for the first 3 years of her schooling. After she finished her 3rd year Bronwyn’s parents felt that they wanted her closer to home rather then in France. She is going through the sorting with the first years, but will be taking 3rd year classes.

@ ZNZ can Bronwyn come into your compartment?
Bronwyn Tanner studied the situation. There was a train in about 5 metres away, her mission was to get to the train with her trunk, owl, bag and herself all in tack. Students were starting to crowd all the doors onto the train making it nearly impossible to run to the train, get all her bags in, and find a compartment without being noticed. She tugged on her brand new school robes, noticing that almost all the students had crests stitched into the left side of their robes. The symbols glittered different colours, some green, some yellow, not many blues, and quite a few reds. The only students without crests, she noticed, were quite a bit younger then she was. Bronwyn came to the conclusion that these were the first year students, most aged 11. She however would be in the same boat as them, but in more advanced classes. She shuddered at the thought of being at a new school, just as she was about to begin her 4th year at Beauxbatons Academy of Magic her parents though it would be best for her to go to Hogworts. Shaking her head she summoned up her courage, she would not allow herself to think of that, no, her task at hand was to get onto the train.
After much pushing and shoving she hastened to find a quiet compartment, but they were all full. This frustrated Bronwyn, where was she to sit? Then she peeked into one and saw two girls sitting by the window, both bore blue crests. She raised her chin remembering what her friend Monique had reminded her when they discussed it last year. Monique had said, ‘just remember, you’ll always be seen as a Beauxbaton, show those Hogwort students what a Beauxbaton student is. Proper, polite and proud!’ Those three words ran through her head as she slid open the compartment door, proper, polite and proud. She took a step into the compartment, and both girl’s heads turned as she entered.

((Welcome, Kendra. Also, do you have any issue with a young Bellatrix?))
Marina glanced up as the compartment door slid open for a third time. This time it had been opened by a thin girl with brown hair and her chin held high. Marina sighed.
"Yes, you can sit here," she said, smiling a little. She didn't recognize the girl at all, and there was no identifying crest on her robes, but she was definitely older than eleven. "Transfer?"
"Yes. From Beauxbatons." She heaved her trunk and owl cage into the compartment and looked up at the luggage rack with a dismayed look on her face.
"Here," Becca said, standing up and helping her wrestle the heavy trunk into the racks. Marina watched, feeling a bit awkward, as they both sat down. "I'm Becca," she added, shooting a sidelong glance at Marina.
"Brownyn Tanner," came the reply.
"Marina. Er, welcome to Hogwarts." See? Marina thought, I'm not completely rude.
"Thank you."

(Don't mind at all. I am going to RP Snape but not a lot. He and Bellatrix can be friends, if you want.)
Lily walked into a compartment. Her friend Becca was there. Shyly she waved through the window. 'Hey,' she mouthed and put her hands up in a questioning stance, well mouthing 'Can I come in?'
(May 14, 2010 - 11:12 am)
Lily wandered aimlessly through the compartments. Argg! Potter was following her. She turned around and faced him. (Does someone want to be James? Please?)

(I'll be James and my own character! I'm really bad at this!)
Name: Areena
Age/Year: 11/ 1st
House:???
Looks: Kinda curly, long black hair. Glasses. Freckles. Tall, Skinny. In Greece (Where she studied at a Wizard School there) the bullies called her Stick Girl.
Personality: Shy, loves to read. Athletic, but very soft.
Family: Pure-blood, lives and grew up in Athens, Greece.
Electives: Care of Magical Creatures, Divination
"Good bye mum! Good bye dad!" I yelled in Greek, like I always do when I'm in a rush. (Sorry, but I can't write it in Greek, so use your imagination!) I grabbed my luggage, my owl Heracles, and my cat Hermes. They're names that because Heracles saved me from a rabid squirrel by clawing at it's eyes, and he's names Hermes because he's the most sneakiest cat in the world! Anyways, I was running towards the Hogwarts Express, I was late, like always, and everybody was already on. Great first impression, Areena! I jumped onto the train, and grabbed the first non-full compartment there was. There was 4 other girls in there, but I collapsed on the bench, with Heracles pecking around, and Hermes trying to hide in the luggage rack. "Hi, can I sit here?" I looked back cautiously, looking to see if it was still there.
I laughed at Sirius, who commented on Snape, the scrawny Slytherin nerd who hung out with my girlfriend-to-be, the one, the only, LILY EVANS!! "She wants me. She just doesn't know it yet." I said to myself as I fixed my hair in the reflection of the window. A girl raced down the aisle, first year, probably, by the looks of her. She looked nervous, as if something was chasing her. I ignored her, just another person asking for directions, or if they can see my new broom. "Oh, hey guys! I almost forgot to tell you!" I told them about my new broom, but my mind wasn't paying attention. It was watching Lily, talking with her friends in the compartment across the hall.

Becca hadn't noticed me yet. James Potter was still following me, along with his creepy friends. I must admit though, Sirius Blackwas kinda hot, or would be if he wasn't such a stuck up , conceited idiot. I pretended to be tieing my shoe, when I bent down, I stuck out my tongue at him, an immature gesture, but the only way I could vent my feelings. Suddenly, I had an idea. I turned around to face Potter. In a sickly sweet and sarcastic voice I asked, "May I help you?"

((@ZB: I like what you wrote, but it might be helpful if you separated the bits by your different charries? Like, try putting the charrie's name in //double slashes// before you write from their point of view. It helps prevent confusion. That said, I'm glad someone decided to play James!))

Name: Alanna Thompson
Age: 4th yr/14 yrs old
House: Ravenclaw
Description: Tall, skinny, shoulder length purple hair, brown eyes
Personality: Snappish, is suspicious of everybody, kind only to friends.
Best Subject: Potions
Worst Subject: Care of Magical Creatures
Family: half-blood, Muggle mother, wizard father
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alanna trudged along. She was tired, and didn't want to speak to anybody. When she came to platform 9 3/4, (she hadn't even noticed walking through the barrier between platforms 9 and 10) she looked up, surprised. I'm here already? she thought, eh, whatever. Once inside the train, Alanna looked the compartments over. They were almost completely full. She groaned. It didn't help that people kept staring at her violently purple hair either. She came to a compartment with only a couple people that she recognized as fellow Ravenclaws, one 4th year, like her, and a 5th year. Alanna opened the compartment door and sat down scowling, not even asking the other two girls if she could. Both girls looked her over, their eyes lingering on her hair too long for Alanna's liking. A small wriggling white kitten, peeking out of Alanna's pocket averted their eyes from her violet head. "Mushroom!" cried Alanna, mouth directed at the cat. She groaned again. "No use talking to a stubborn cat that doesn't listen" she muttered.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
((Sorry if Alanna seems mean. She's just tired.))

//Becca//
I nodded, and Lily came in.
"I thought you were with Severus?" I didn't mean to say that, but it was the first thing that came out.
She shrugged. "He wanted to go sit with the other Slytherins. And, well, you know how a lot of them are about me." She shot a glance at the compartment door. "And now Potter's following me -- oh, that's just great."
"What?"
"He and his gang are in the compartment across from us."
I looked where she was pointing. Yep, there he was. The rest of his "gang" too -- Peter, Sirius and Remus. Peter was small and ratlike. Sirius was just like James. Remus was quieter than any of them, and not half as annoying. "Is Potter really that bad?"
"Yeah! He's always trying to look oh so cool, playing with his hair and bragging about how amazing he is at Quidditch. He follows me around, too -- I hate that. I get teased more about him than Sev."
"This is Marina," I said. "She's my house but in fifth."
Marina glanced up and said, "Hi."
"And I am Bronwyn Tanner." She had a bit of a French accent. "I am a transfer from Beauxbatons."
"That's really cool" said Lily. "I'm Lily. Maybe you'll be put in my House. Gryffindor, where dwell the brave at heart!"
"Or Ravenclaw," I said. "Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure."
"Yeah, sure." She grinned. "What are you reading?"
I handed her the magazine. "Quibbler. It's just a bunch of sensationalist nonsense, especially the stuff about Beedle the Bard. Some people can find secret messages in absolutely anything."
She nodded. "'Minister of Magic a Vampire'? Who comes up with this stuff?"
I shrugged. "You know --" I began, and then a violet-haired girl barged in and sat down. A cat peeked out of her pocket, and she began to scold it furiously.
"Hi," I said to the girl with the cat. I knew I'd seen her before. "You're -- Alanna, right?"
"Yeah," she said sullenly.
Lily and I introduced ourselves, but she just glared.

I was bored waiting for the rest of the posts to come up, so I made a profile* for my charrie**. Yay! And you know what? I made a mistake. Ignore everything about the "dark secret" and all the rest – I'm removing it. It was a mistake.

***I've taken a lot of online sorting hat quizzes. Mostly I get put in Ravenclaw -- but one said I was a Hufflepuff. What's with that?
****Which Becca hates – she calls it "sensationalist nonsense."
*****Mainly because Trelawney is fun to write. ;-)

/LILY/
I looked at Becca. "The Creep is still staring at me. Be right back."
I walked casually out of the compartment, on the pretext of finding the
lady with the sweet's cart. Potter followed me. I found the cart and
bought a box of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans. Turning around I
faced The Creep. "Hello." I said in a sickly sweet and sarcastic voice.
"May I help you?"
(May 16, 2010 - 10:28 am)
I breathed in and out, and looked at the other people in my compartment. They all had mean faces, long black robes, and a green badge on their robes. "Hi." I said as quietly as I could. I left saying I had to go to the bathroom, but I took all of my stuff and squeezed into another compartment. This one had 4 teenage boys, one had glasses, black ruffled hair, and was always looking at himself in his reflection. One was reading, so I couldn't see his face. One looked like the one who was looking at himself, and another one looked tiny and scared. They looked down at me, and I was scared to death.
"What's your name, first year?" Sirius asked. "Uh, It's Areena." She told us. "Where are you from?" I asked. "Uh, Greece. Athens, to be exact." She looked up nervously, and then dashed out of the compartment.
Oh, Styx! I forgot Heracles and Hermes! I raced back to the Slytherin compartment, and saw them 'playing' with Heracles and Hermes. Basically, they were trying to do spells on them while they were clawing, pecking, and screaming. I opened th compartment, and pointed my wand at them. "I have a wand, but I don't know how to use it!" I yelled and carefully walked towards them. They laughed, and grabbed their wands. I flicked my wrist, and I hit their wands out of their hands. They took a dive, and I grabbed my pets and ran out to the other compartment.
The girl came back, with an owl and a cat. "What's your pets name's?" Remus asked. "Heracles and Hermes. For the great hero and the god of thieves." "Yeah, I heard of them before. Heracles slayed the Nemean Lion and stuff and Hermes is one of the Olympians." "Correct."

(ZB, Lily just confronted The Creep AKA James Potter, Who has been following her around, trying to get her to look at him.)
