These people seemed nice enough, although she didn't recognize any of them. She nodded in realization when the girl introduced herself. "Well at least you're my age! There's a big difference between an awestruck first year and an awestruck transfer student," Avalon said with a laugh.
And was that an American accent she heard? "I'm Avalon Sinclair, by the way. I'm a fourth year Ravenclaw. Are you from Ilvermorny? My brother, Archer, went there. He graduated a few years ago, so you probably wouldn't know him. But he was a Thunderbird." She wished she had been able to visit him while he was still in school, but she never got the chance. Ilvermorny looked absolutely beautiful from all the pictures.

"Thanks," simply replying to both Kimmy and Noah for allowing him to join them. As for the question Kim had on his hair, "Yeah. A little. It's like trying to catch air." Which was why he had a transfiguration tutor during summer. "My tutor says it'll get better as I get older, though. And he said if I work on it well, I can change at will and more than just the colours of my hair and eyes." Okay, yeah, that bit made him quite proud of himself...?
Ilya fell silent when the first year came in. Wow, were they always this small and chatty? He offered the boy a small nod and a smile. It was obvious that Ilya wasn't the typical friendly boy, but he knew what politeness was and its importance in Hogwarts. Professors here were kind of jerks sometimes. So, he sat in silence for now.

That's so cool!" he exclaimed. Noah, himself, had ambitions to learn how to be an animagi. To transform into another creature would be incredible. To change your looks - that would be extremely helpful if you were an Auror or running from the Auror's - heh. "
What's your favourite hair colour?" he asked curiously. Noah had been wanting to dye his own hair for a while but hadn't done it just yet. Maybe this would be the year! New school. New hair... colour? Who dis?
Noah offered Kimmie a smile when she said she was excited to meet more people. Her enthusiasm was infectious and he kept on feeling more and more excited just by talking with her!
Then here was another person that joined them. She looked to be around her age and he chuckled when she mentioned that she had been trying to avoid first years. "
They're like that Ilvermorny too. A bag of mixed emotions. Happy, sad, bewildered, bouncing off the walls because they've had waaaaaay too much sugar." He offered her a smile, nodding as Kimmie welcomed the new girl in. Of course she could join them! It was more people for Noah to meet which Noah actually was enjoying meeting more people. And then the girl introduced herself. What a nice name - he'd definitely remember a name like Avalon. "
Nice to meet you, Avalon. I'm Noah Nam. Fifth Year Transfer. Former Pukwudgie."
Kimberly chuckled softly, nodding her head in agreement as Avalon pointed out the distinct difference between a transfer and a first year. First years were little and cute and sometimes this was their first time experiencing magic
EVER. A transfer student had at least experienced school and boarding before.
"I guess that is slightly better."
Hearing her question her accent, Kimmie nodded her head in answer to her question.
"Yeah, I just transferred from Ilvermony. I was a Wampus, although one of my older sisters was in House Thunderbird up until her 5th year. She graduated 2091." Aaand because she was a terrible sister, Kimmie couldn't even remember what house Regina had been in as well. Because she stinks.
"What's the top things I should know about Hogwarts?" Because she'd been dying to ask someone who had already gone there.
K watched the interaction between the others in the compartment, shuffling slightly again to get herself more comfortable. Where the train seats always so stiff feeling? Returning her attention to conversation, she zoned in on Ilya once again as he spoke about his transformations. While it must be weird to not have control over transformations while young, how cool would it be once he had mastered his ability.
"That's really awesome, even if it sounds like a road to get there."
K shot a quick smile at Noah as he introduced himself to their newest traveling buddy. She was so glad she had been lucky enough to meet another transfer
that was not her brother in Diagon Alley.
"We sound like Ilvermony is slowly set to take over Hogwarts." But that was fine, because at least the two of them were awesome.
