Amber was reading the prophet as she entered the train and sat in a random compartment with random people. Such terrible stuff happening, honestly, why would people do such terrible stuff? "Can I read that?" A seventh year asked her, "sure," Amber said and gave the unknown girl the prophet. Amber felt like going around terrifiying younger students, that was always fun! Confusing them, then making them scared...Amber wasn't a bad person, but she just found that sometimes enjoyable. Amber excited the compartment and went in search for some first years.
She heard an explosion in one compartment and went to check it out, it was only some people playing exploding snape, well really, they should think about keeping the noise down. Amber continued to search compartments, when suddenly the train stopped and lights went out. "uh, oh," Amber said, suddenly thinking about dementors. She quickly changed into a dog, knowing that dementors couldn't sense animals as much as humans, that's what was handy about being an animagus. Amber randomly went over to a door of one of the compartments and opened it with her paw and entered. She changed back into a human and took out her wand, "lumos," she said and looked to see who was in the same compartment as her. There were 2 first years, by the looks of it and a Ravenclaw student. "Sorry, just running away from the dementors...if there are any," Amber said.

Mumblings of gruff voices were heard outside, shadowy figures really. They could hear things being looked through. What ever it was, she hoped that they did not come near them. As she really wanted to get to school and settle her things before term started. A shadowy figure rushed past the door, and footsteps could be heard. Nat was going to answer his questions when the door opened.
Nat looked over saw a dog shape she gripped her wand a little tighter she new enough about dark things to make her leery of it all. Then it turn into a girl about the same age, she relaxed. Nat recognized her as a friend and not as a foe. She smiled and then turned to the boy. "It is foggy because we are close to Hogwarts, when we all get there, you both shall be going one way and we" Nat pointed to the girl and herself "we will be going a different way. Just follow the one who calls out first years, first years."
"Did you see anything while you were out there? Have you come to tell us that we are on our way again?" she asked.

Vlad heard noises all around the train and the car that they were in. He started shaking. Nothing at home or in Russia was like this. This was too weird for him. He went back with Cassi and looked at her. "Do you have any idea on what might be going on?" he asked her softly into her ear. He seemed to like her. She was a nice person. After all she did give him a sandwich and in turn he gave her something to eat.
Just then the sound got closer and closer. It made him even more nervous. Vlad was shaking so hard now that when he sat down next to Cassi he made the whole seat move. He was now having second opinions about this place. After all he could still jump out of the train find a petrol station and call his parents to pick him up.
Vlad looked at the girl that just changed into a dog. He rubbed his eyes a bit then looked to see the girl was a girl and not a dog. Maybe he was just imagining things. He then heard the girl talk about something called a 'dementor'. "Excuse me," said Vlad with his Russian accent in full swing. "Dementors, what are these things?" asked Vlad.

"I didn't see anything outside," Amber said, trying to think, "it was too dark, I couldn't really see anything and I've only come in here for safety, just in case some mass murderer has decided to come on board and try to kill us all...or in case there are dementors," she joked, but sounded very serious. Then a one of the first years with a Russian accent asked what Dementors were, "well, dementors are these skeleton like things that can suck out all the happiness out of you, it usually gets dark and spooky when they come nearby...they're dreadful," Amber told who ever the person was.

Vlad looked at the girl and said with the most respect, really exaggerating it; "So were going to die, Cool. I need to write my parents. Tell them to make sure all my friends are at my funeral." He stopped for a minute and took a deep breath. "Wait can those things kill you?" he asked now calming down and acting sane.

Nat nodded her head as Amber said she hadn't seen anything. "OK then, we shall have to wait and see won't we." She watched as the boy moved around, it reminded her of a scared rabbit in a cage. He said something to the girl sitting on the seat but she had this look.. was she sleeping? Nat wondered. Since Nat didn't hear what the boy said she continued after he asked a question louder, "Well yeah they can kill you, that's why they have us take procautions." Nat sat down across from them "Is she ok? She hasn't said much." Nat looked out the window they hadn't started to move again, but the muffled noises were still going on.
With a rather large jolt, and the train finally started to move again. Nat looked over at them "See now, something went wrong and they fixed it." As the train started to turn and groan someone walked past you could hear the scraps of thier conversation. "Such utter nonsence!" In the hallway of the train voices could be heard "All clear, All clear!" Nat smiled and got up. "Well this sure has been fun, remember just follow the ones who call out 'first years' when we get to Hogwarts."

Natalie was right. Cassi hadn't said much after all this happened. "I am not sure if she is ok?" he asked looking at her and then waved goodbye to the two girls. He was relived everything was alright.

Amber Sat down and waited for a while, when suddenly the train started to move again. "Well, looks like there weren't any dementors," Amber said. Then Nat said that, that had been fun, "oh, yeah, very fun," Amber said sarcastically. "Oh, and also, watch out for thestrals," Amber told the first years, "they bite."

Vlad looked at the girl. The word or animal she just talked about sounded faker than a ride at a closed down amusement park. ((I couldn't find a good comparable thing)) "I am not sure i am getting you." said Vlad and then looked at her some more. "Whats all these animals I have never heard of. Dementors, thestrals, whats next bullflies?" he asked.

Cassie had been sitting silently eyes squeezed shut willing herself away. The dark, that blasted dark took her back in her mind and she tried to fight it. Suddenly Vlad's voice was right by her. "Huh" she said in a small gasping voice softly. Calming down she turned to him. "Oh...I'm fine. I dont know" she said in an offhand voice as the seat shook and everything got faster and scarier. once again her eyes squeezed shut and calmed herself down. Opening her eyes she saw everything was alright. She relazed slightly leaning back into the seat and turned to look at Vlad. "Everythings alright. Interesting start to the year though" she said with a small chuckle fiddling with an Australian flag on her bag.
