" Izzy come here!" Draco had beckoned to his younger cousin as she ran after her pitch black kitten that went chasing after a toad. Rolling his eyes just scoffed at the girl and returned to his seat. "Crabbe! Goyle! Take a seat." He spat flatly.

"But-" The larger boy began to protest, only to meet the stern gaze of the other.

"She's on the train- she's not going anywhere!" Draco snapped as he turned to the lady who pulled up with a trolley of sweets dropped a few coins into her hand," Here." Grabbing a handful of each type for himself, spied the chocolate frog Izzy loved so much and got his cousin one and sat back down. "She's gonna love these." He beamed inwardly to himself, and as much as he hated running after the girl, he was rather fond of her. Elizabeth always got into all sorts of trouble- much like his uncle in a way. Snickering to himself turned his attention to the two other boys who had now taken their seat," Let's see what little Izzy will come up with next shall we?" He then unwrapped a candy bar and chuckled; only to frown at the other two chocolate frogs that sat next to his peers. Scoffing it off just shook his head as he took a bite, {Those pigs..} he mentally thought.

"Have you seen a toad? A boy called Neville seemed to have lost one." Came a-matter-of-factly-tone from the cabin door. When the two boys inside shook their heads with a negative Hermione Granger took note of the drawn wand, "Are you practicing spells?" When the ginger turned up with a fluke she couldn't help but show off a bit," It's not very good now is it," observant eyes grinned at the sight of Harry's broken lenses and whipped out her wand as well. " OcculusRepairo-"

Before another word could be said a black kitten ran into the cart and jumped onto Ronald's lap trying to get at his rat. "SCABBARS!" He yelled as the little fat rodent ran up his shirt and onto his head.

"Shadow!!!" Came the angry and annoyed play of a very frustrated Elizabeth. Entering unannounced quickly picked up the kitten by the scruff and held him to her face, " Bad kitty bad!!"

Ron obviously outraged just frowned and retorted, " Is she for real?" He squinted his eyes in disbelief, that a young girl would actually be on the train. She couldn't have seemed much older than eight or nine. " Kitty?" He stifled a laugh at the girl's antics.

Harry just smirked a quiet laugh as the girl apologized in such an exaggerated way it was just so funny it was almost sad.

"Stop bowing, you're going to hurt yourself," Hermione held the new girl's shoulders and looked sternly into her eyes. This petit thing in front of her seemed deathly pale, "Are you ill?" She frowned after a long pause.

Elizabeth frowned and hugged Shadow closely, " Uh, no- why?" she snapped in offense. Sizing this other girl up frowned, "What..?" Unable to stand the stares just glared back at the other girl.

Taken aback at the raven haired fae Hermione just shook her head, " Oh- nothing-nothing-" ignoring the chills emanating off of the girl quickly commented, " You have a very pretty cat! Mine is a bit more fluffy though." She chuckled nervously.

Easily distracted, Elizabeth smiled innocently, " Oh! Hehe thanks! What kind of cat?"

" Oh get a room," Ron snapped seriously annoyed. " It's just a stupid cat!"

Elizabeth pointed her wand defensively between his eyes, " And your just a ssteuuupid human boy!"

Gasping Ron just crossed his eyes to the point of her strange looking wand.

"Wait!!" Hermione stood in between them. "We are not allowed to do magic outside of Hogwarts- if anything you can curse him there!"

Elizabeth paused and sheathed her wand, "Oh.. Thanks!" Her mood seemed to have twisted a full 180 at that moment and she happily skipped away, "Bye!"

Harry jus stared at the girl with the black cat, and locked eyes with her for a few moments. A light tingling sensation burned at his scar- but ever so faintly. Frowning as she smiled at him, felt like a heavy weight was lifted the moment she skipped away.

"Absolutely MENTAL that one."
