Travis got an ice cream from Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor and sat down outside. He watched as other witches and wizards walked by, entering stores here and there to buy supplies for the next term at X-Hogwarts. He saw more people today than he normally does. After finishing the ice cream, he opened his bag for school and checked over the school supply list to make sure he had everything that he would need for the year at X-Hogwarts. This would be the first year of X-Hogwarts since it had just opened. He wondered if many people new about it and if many people would be attending. Since this was the first year at X-Hogwarts, everyone was going to be new to the school and he wouldn't be the only one getting lost between classes. Put his books and list back into his bag and walked back towards the inn that he stayed in before the term starts. He couldn't wait for the school year to arrive but he also felt kind of nervous being around other witches and wizards his age. He thought about what kind of stuff he would be learning at X-Hogwarts. He had never done magic himself because he was underage but he had read alot about it. Both his mother and father were magic but he did not brag about this. He was kind of mischievous but he got along with people that were not on his bad side. Travis was a handsome young man with dirty blonde/brown hair and blue eyes. He sat down on his bed after entering his room inside of the inn. "Not long until the school year starts," he said to Kobin, his rather young owl. Kobin hooted from inside of his cage. Travis lay down on his bed and before long, he fell asleep.

Saphire saw Travis. "Erm...hello." She said, her eyes sparkling. She was the same age as Travis

Blodeuedd Arion stepped lightly on the cobblestones outside Madam Malkins Robe Shop, eyeing the precious cloth behind the glass window that glimmered and reflected in the dim golden sunlight. It was a deep puce color, and Arion, as she preferred to be called, noted that it would clash horribly with her occupation and personality. Arion was young and bright, with an open face and a child-like smile that had a slight tint of deep maturity to it. Her eyes were lined with Jasper brown, tinged with green spray and yellow around the pupils. Deep churning waves of blue blended and frothed around in the middle of her irises, achieving a very deep stare that penetrated most people immediately. She had exotically high cheekbones, her fingers slender but strong. She had a natural pinkness in her cheeks that came out brilliantly when she was participating in her chosen field of work. But right now, there was no Crested Serpent or snarling Chimera to inspire the brilliant pink glow that rested on her high cheeks. Her eyes were bright and sparkling today for her own reasons, and her smile was wide and pretty. Auburn hair was coiled in a messy bun atop her head, and a few stray strands drifted down to frame her face gracefully. She wasn't so used to Diagon Alley as she should have been, yet her excuse was simple: She had grown up without it. Her father had crafted her wand himself, cutting a branch of birch from their backyard and using some strings from his unicorn-haired violin for the center. Her mother had never forgiven him for defiling the magnificant instrument, yet Arion's spells had always been wonderful and unique. No one else could achieve her levitating charm, and there was always a golden glow that hummed about her magic. Often her wand served as a musical instrument, and her father joked that the strings were not yet done playing their song. Secretly, Arion had always believed that through her magic, the violin still sang.

Jenny was sitting in a table eating some ice cream. She had just finished shopping for her supplies. Snowy her white owl was on the table. Snowy then took off flying. Jenny watched it take off. She then looked around at all of the other witches and wizards. This would be her first year at X-Hogwarts and she was excited. She hoped that she wouldn't get lost. After she finished eating her ice cream she picked up her stuff and went to go look at some shops. Jenny had straight, brown, shoulder length hair and brown eyes.

Jenny saw a girl that was looking at a shop. She walked up to her wondering if she was going to go to school with her. "Hi." She said.

Arion turned suddenly, her daydreaming halting as reality choked it. Her smile had faded a little, though she brought it back on false pretenses, insisting upon a positive appearance. The girl who had adressed her stood waiting expectantly, and Arion's smile became genuine, setting her eyes sparkling, her thin red lips forming a quick hello. Arion noticed that the girl was much younger than her, at least five years or more, and Arion felt a rush of excitement as she observed her. "Are you a student?" Arion knew the answer, or felt she did, and she kept her striking eyes on Jenny as she adjusted her dark brown jacket in her hands, tucking a stray mahogany curl behind her dainty ear as she did so.

"Yeah." Jenny said. "You are too, right?" She asked. Snowy had come back and was flying in circles above them.

"Actually, no, I'm a teacher." Arion wasn't surprised by the question, knowing how young she was. She had the strange suspicion that she was the youngest member of the entire school staff, but she didn't add that into her coversation with the younger girl. She looked up as a single white feather fluttered down in front of her gaze, her eyes following it's path to see a circling white owl, large and glossy. "Is she yours?"

"Oh." Jenny said. "What class do you teach?" She asked curiously. "Yeah. That owl's mine." She added. Snowy came down and landed on Jenny's shoulder. The owl looked at the teacher. Jenny enjoyed having her owl around.

"Care of Magical Creatures." She spoke the words breathily, her eyes watching the owl with a special delight. White owls were fairly rare, though not un-heard of. Still, Arion loved watching it's careful movements, it's beady black eyes blinking slowly as it's feathers caught the sunlight. "Do you mind?" She raised her thin eyebrows , her eyes not leaving the shimmering feathers, reaching her hands toward the owl though not touching it without permission.

Arion gently offered her arm to Snowy, running her left hand over the glossy coat of feathers as the white owl ruffled her personage and stepped onto the proffered perch, head swiveling as her black eyes dissapeared and reappered lazily. Arion found the soft downy feathers on the right side of her neck and rubbed gently, finding a comfort spot on the bird and watching with happy satisfaction and Snowy closed her eyes, cooing softly. "What a pretty bird," Arion spoke softly, her words warm and soothing. Carefully, she returned the white owl to her master's shoulder, suppressing a soft, tinkling laugh from coming out as Snowy awoke from her reverie, blinking furiously and flexing her wing joints as though testing whether or not they were stable. "What courses do you plan to take?"

"Um. My classes are going to be the Care of Magical Creatures, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration, Charms, Potions, the Art of Flying, and some other ones." Jenny said. Snowy rested contentedly on Jenny's shoulder.

Arion nodded, her eyebrows raising as she heard the large symphony of courses Jenny was planning to take. Before she could comment, however, a girl ran up to them, panting and looking anxious. She had very light blue eyes, catching and tinted with a crystaline color that outlined the blue and made it seem even more startling. Her hair was slightly curled and mousy brown, her cheeks red. The girl's request for help surprised Arion almost as much as her abrupt appearance, and she answered, "What's wrong?"

A bemused smile fell on Arions lips as the girl promptly switched from urgent to calm, and she wondered whether that happened often with students. Still, she refrained from mentioning her thoughts, finding the girl interesting. "I wasn't aware communicating with owls was a common practice." Her words were not unkind and came out sweetly enough, though her eyebrows remained raised.

"That's very interesting that you can communicate with owls." Jenny said. Snowy looked at Jenny then looked at the teacher and finally looked at the other girl.

Arion addressed Opal. "Well, it seems as though 'Snowy' likes you. She's a very sweet animal,"Arion added, turning towards Jenny. There was a moment of silence in which Snowy let out a irresolute hoot, then, a beeping sound erupted from Arion's personage, startling Snowy into a frantic flight. "Oh god, I forgot what time it was! I really have to be getting along, I was supposed to finish shopping twenty minutes ago!" Looking anxious, Arion dug into one of her bags, shifting through some of her purchases and looking extremely relieved as she withdrew her hand. Enclosed inside her creamy white fist were a pair of keys with miniature marbles attatched to the area where the jagged pattern was normally located on house keys. Glowing red and blinking on and off, Arion hastened to silence the small alarm which was starting to draw attention from numerous passersby. "I would stay longer, she yelled over the blaring noise, "but I promised my friend Jordan I'd meet him in the Leaky Couldron!' At last she seemed to find the way to turn off the alarm, because it petered off abruptly. She was panting from her yells and shoved the keys deep in her jean pockets. "If either of you are staying at the Leaky Couldron, maybe we'll meet again before the start of term!" And, upon these last words, Arion waved goodbye and turned around, hurrying through the streets under the eyes of every curios shopper.

"Can talk to all animals." she told both of them. She made a low squeak. On her head was a rabbit. " I'm a muggle animal physic. This is Angel." she said pointing to her head.

"What teacher was that?" she asked. "I have private lessons with a certain teacher." Opal made a low hum. Angel disapeared into opal's backpack. When she came back out she gave a owl treat to Opal and disapeared again. She was scared Snowy was going to eat her. Opal gave the owl tret to Snowy. Snowy shierked as she ate it. "She says that is her favorite treat."
