Tree III:
Melissandre Flint, Peter Pettigrew
In an attempt to figure out how to best spy and recruit, Melissandre settles down on a bench where she can watch people coming through the barrier. She encounters Peter Pettigrew, whose trunk is open and papers are flying all about. She points this out to him, and they briefly engage in small talk and introductions before Meli 'chases' him off by pointing out James and Sirius are probably waiting for him on the train.

Tree IV:
Gilderoy Lockhart, Kingsley Shacklebolt
Gil is depressed at being stuck in black robes again - though Kingsley is quick to point out he can wear the colorful ones on Hogsmeade trips. In the spirit of pretending he's actually interesting, Gilderoy spins a few tall tales about his summer mountain climbing in Tibet. He does manage a (mostly) honest retelling of his encounter with Lucius in Flourish and Blotts, and Kingsley jokes that Lucius was probably confounded by Gil's colorful robes and that's why Gil was mistaken for an employee.

Tree VI:
Mary, Xenophilius
Mary gets herself settled into a compartment and is slipping out into the hall to see who else is around when she bumps into Xeno, who had his head in a book. After initial apologies, Mary heads off to wash her hands, and tells Xeno he can head into her compartment and they can hang out, if he wants. He does, and the two converse in idle chitchat about the cleanliness of the windows, what they did over the summer, and Quidditch - which Xeno doesn't understand. Mary says she'll sit with him at a game sometimes to help explain it to him. Then, the two commence a game of chess to pass the time.

Tree VII:
Cait, Severus, Regulus
Severus is trying to avoid everyone on the train when he is joined by Caitlyn who is secretly hoping to find Regulus. After a brief and uncomfortable conversation, Cait somehow convinces Severus to try and teach her some of the Dark Magic he knows in exchange for a new Arithmancy book and for her being something of a guinea pig by trying them out. Eventually Regulus joins them and there is yet another brief, uncomfortable exchange, and then they all decide reading is a better option than talking.
