Now that she was in her sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Hepsy didn't struggle to locate platform 9 and 3 quarters. Her belongings safely on a luggage trolley she calmly walked straight at the barrier between platforms 9 and 10 and passed through, onto the platform where the Hogwarts Express was waiting.
She couldn't wait to get back to Hogwarts, though she felt a little sad at the prospect that Rollo wasn't going to be there. Oh, how she'd love to spend time with him in the school library, or sitting in the grounds.
Hepsy sighed heavily. She'd decided that it wasn't Roll that she saw in Diagon Alley, she'd simply been seeing things because she missed him so badly.
Hefting her belongings onto the train Hepsy dragged them to an empty compartment and sat herself down on the brown seat, which sagged slightly beneath her. She sat and looked out of the train window at other students boarding and waited to see who would join her in the compartment, hopefully it would be Emma.

Emma saw Hepsy boarding the train and called out to her.
"Heps!" But she wasn't heard. So she followed the Hufflepuff girl onto the train. Emma was slower then Hepsy because she had not only the normal luggage to carry, but also a cat basket. Felix wasn't happy, he hated the cat basket and he had his back arched threateningly, ready to pounce the moment he was released.
Emma dropped her suitcase and rucksack onto the floor of the train compartment where Hepsy was and she plonked the cat basket down on a seat, which provoked an angry hiss from Felix.
"Hepsy!" Emma grinned, her arms outstretched. "I haven't seen you all summer!"

Rachella sat infront of the wall 9 and 10. She sighed. Being alone since her mother dropped her off Diagon Alley. Doing all her shopping alone and living in a room at the leaky caldron. She sneared all the new kids. They all seemed happy. Finally she ran into the wall.
The Hogwarts Express sat there waiting till the time. Families wishing there children good bye and telling them to write. Rachella felt alone. No parents to wish her good bye. She didn't care, liking the feeling to being alone. Taking her lugage to a compartment. Making sure it was empty and the last one on the train. Her cat, Boo, sat on her shoulder. He hate cages and loves her shoulders. She sat the cat down on the cusion then put her stuff on the rack above her. Rachella pulled of her muggle 'Emily the Strange' back pack and opened it. Pulling out a muggle book called 'Blood Lust' then pulled out her Ipod. Putting her headphone in her ears she started her music. Opened the book to read. Her white cat curled into a ball in her lap.

Hepsy was snapped out of the day-dream that she was having by the thudding sound of luggage being dropped onto the compartment floor.
She stood up, grinning, and embraced her Hufflepuff friend whom she hadn't seen all summer. As she hugged Emma she noticed a Slytherin girl walking past and wondered if the rivalries were still going to be as prominent last year as they always seemed to have been.
"I've been in Scarborough this summer." Hepsy smiled as she told her friend. "I had a great time. How have you been?"

Emma embraced Hepsy and hugged her tightly, only now realising how much she had missed her over the summer.
"I've been good. Lewi has been driving me mad though!" Emma exclaimed, then began mimicking her four year old brother. "Show me a trick. Do you have to wear a cloak? Will I get to go? Have you got a broom? What are the other people like?" She laughed. "I swear, he's so inquisitive it drives me up the wall!"

Hepsy stopped hugging Emma and put her hands on the seat behind herself. Stepping backwards she sat down on her hands as she sometimes liked to do.
Smiling warmly at her fellow Hufflepuff she began to talk about her own younger sibling.
"Yeah, Hope's a bit noisy, and she's always really talkative when I first get home! But it's too quiet when she's not around, makes me miss her! Anyway, what have you been up to this summer?" The small girl asked, trying to turn the conversation so that she could tell her friend about Rollo.

Now they'd stopped hugging, Emma shoved her belongings into the corner of the compartment. She lifted up the cat basket and looked inside to see how Felix was and was greeted with a hiss. 'Charming as always.' She thought to herself.
"Well I haven't done anything really, Heps. I just lounged around the house in my pajamas most days, playing daft games with Lewi. I get the impression that you had a much more interesting summer though." She smiled as she sat down opposite Hepsy, the cat basket now on the floor.

A light pink colour spread through Hepsy's cheeks.
"Well..." she began, looking down at her feet and leaning forward a little so her hair covered her face. "I kinda met someone." Her cheeks turned a more red colour. "But it's not entirely good" She looked up at her friend. "He's a Muggle."
And then Hepsy waited for Emma to speak, secretly hoping that she would tell her that it didn't make a bit of difference that Rollo was not a wizard.

(((OOC: sorry again!)))
Unfortunately for Hepsy, Emma was a little pessimistic - particularly when it came to relationships. So the news that her Hufflepuff friend had "met someone" caused her brow to furrow as she thought about the predicament of him being a Muggle.
"That's not good, is it?" Emma began, looking across at Hepsy. "You're at Hogwarts most of the year and you can't exactly send him an owl can you!"

Hepsy considered what Emma had said and, for only a brief moment, she considered accpeting what her friend had said. But then she looked up at her, shook her hair from her face, and smiled defiantly.
"Well, I'll just have to try and make it work and see what happens!" Hepsy knew it would be difficult, but plenty of relationships between Muggles and magic people worked, didn't they?
