Yeah, she could be a minor atagonist, like Malfoy or Crabbe or Pansy Parkinson. We just need a major antagonist, like Voldemort. The problem is, we can't make up a character too big, or something will happen that Harry and everyone else in the books would have heard about and mentioned. And actually, I want Lily to be in Advanced Potion Making for extracurricular too, Slughorn said she was realy good at Potions, it seems like something she'd want to do... AARGH! I think Lily is a Mary Sue. I just can't think of any bad qualities to give her... I need help!

((Cara's in Ravenclaw, I think. ))

"I wonder who'll come in here next..." said Noel. "Does this always
happen? And are there usually people wearing that kind of clothing? If
so, it's a good thing this school has a uniform..."

Cara's eyes still burned from the startling pink. "Uh-huh." she said absently, her eyes still on the hulking figure in front of her.

Just then the door opened again.

((Sorry, I really won't be able to get on the computer all that often.))

((I'll introduce my character just for now, and then we can decide what to do with her...lol.))

If you had been looking into the last compartment of the Hogwarts express, you would have gotten the impression that it was empty. All except for one girl, curled in a seat by the window, her slender legs hanging from the cushion and nose buried in a book.

Ainsley Corvax flipped through the pages of Owl Training and You with silent interest, though her mind was focused on other things, such as the whereabouts of her Slytherin friends. Lucius Malfoy, her closest male companion, was nowhere to be found, and she was mildly worried. But there was no time to think about that. If she wanted to be a prefect and have the ability to boss around the annoying younglings, she would have to have a spot-on attitude for thePotions teacher this year. She wondered who their new professor would be, to herself, as she read the quirks and advantages of training your ownbark own to carry parcels across England. She flipped her black hair over her shoulder, and took out her wand about to try a summoning spell for her owl, when the door to the compartment banged open.

((This can be anyone in particular. Is anyone playing Bellatrix, if not, can I?))

I'm on at the same time as someone!

@Mary: I suppose it might work if I make her really stubborn. It was about the only flaw Sandry of the  Circle books had.

To Summarize:

Cara Appledore (Ravenclaw) entered a compartment containing Sara Peterson (Ravenclaw) and Noel Hutofis(Ravenclaw). They appear to be conversing with one another in a friendly manner when Grendle Tirebum (Slytherin) walks in and begins arguing with them. Umbridge (?) walks in, but leaves after exchanging a few minor comments.As far as I know, Grendle is still in the compartment.

Meanwhile, Ainsley Corvax (Slytherin) is sitting alone in her compartment, reading a book and wondering after the whereabouts of Lucius Malfoy(Slytherin), when the door opens and a mysterious someone walks in.

People, now would be a good time to introduce your charries to the rolelay!

((whoo! Doubled in length in five days!))

Adela yanked at the end of her ponytail as she moved silently past the full compartments. "This is what I get for being late," she muttered darkly, and peered into another window. Mostly Slytherins, but it was the first compartment that she had passed that wasn't completely packed, so she took a breath and slid open the door.

A seventh year with a Head Girl badge carelessly pinned onto her robes turned at the sound. "Oh," she said expressionlessly, her eyebrows raising ever so slightly. "It's you."

"Mm. Lovely to see you again to, Bellatrix," Adela said cooly. "Think you can stomach sitting next to me until we get to Hogwarts?"

"That depends," the older girl replied.

"On?" Adela asked. "Or shall I guess? Money? Food? A sloppy block or two during the next Ravenclaw versus Slytherin Quidditch game?"

Bellatrix shrugged. "Cards?"

"I might be able to arrange something," Adela said.
