the orient express

Hello. My name is Lily Evans. Tomorrow i am going to go outside because I heard that we could. Would anyone like to go with me?

While the ambience could use a little work, it goes along with this chill I've been getting. Who's got the A/C on too high now? Step up, we won't get mad.

Hello, love.

If we could manage to invent a spell -- and there is no promise that we can -- that could circumvent deafness, would you be interested in that? We've opted to work on it, but if you weren't interested, then I wouldn't subject you to it.

Hello, love.

I was just wondering if, in your time, there was any sort of spell that could be used to combat deafness? Or if you'd be interested in tackling the not inconsiderable challenge of attempting to invent one if there wasn't?

I reason if we have charms to silence things and make our voices louder, then we have to be able to ... do something for someone who's deaf.

And in the interest of this not getting around, I'd prefer you keep it under your hat. If we manage to make it work, I want it to be a surprise.

Hi.

Are you really here?

I guess this must be old hat for you, but I have no idea what I'm doing things are still sinking in for me. But I wanted to say hi.

I'd love to chat in person sometime soon.

To those finding miscellaneous winter gear in their closets, we are collecting it in the baggage car. From what we've been able to tell, it actually is our clothing. One of the coats was mine, from home. I haven't come across my boots yet, but I imagine they'll show up.

So if you find anything randomly in your closet, go ahead and bring it up front. We'll see if we can sort it out and match up the boots and see who it belongs to. If you find anything of yours, by all means rescue it. ;)

Would you like to come over and watch the sky for a bit?

Hello.

Your name

Apparently we're

I know you don't know me, but as we're roommates now, I'd like to ascertain your identi ask you when and where you're from? Though there are plenty of empty rooms

Private to Sirius and Lily Evans
Sirius? Lily? Are you two really here?

So, for those not keeping track of time, it looks like we're set to depart in just over twenty-four hours. Anyone intending to remain with the train should be sure to be back on board by then.

Any last minute shopping trips or supply runs should be done soon.

And it has come to my attention that at least the front kitchen is woefully understaffed due to ... disappearances. If anyone's interested in assisting, please let me know?

Hello Lily. I just thought I'd let you know Annie's among those sent home.

I realise she's not been in the Kitchens quite as often lately, not since Mitchell left. But I'm sure her help will be missed there, that and tends to make an impact on anyone she meets, so I thought you should know.

Uhhh...

...well...it isn't Azkaban.

Well, half my motivation for staying on board has vanished. Harry and James are gone. If you could let Jaime know? I know she was close with James.

I might

I'll probably be staying behind. If the pair of you don't mind a third wheel.

I wish I had someone to hug

Fucking train. I so called it on how Derek was going to get taken away from this train, but maybe he can start his pack now.

Does this fucking asshole of a train have something against me making friends? Like seriously cause I'm curious right now. I need a drink. Who wants to go hit up a bar or something with me? I'll save the alcohol in my room for when the train starts to move again.

Hi, are you free sometime today?

[Filtered to Ms Evans]

Ma'am, I was wondering if there was anything in particular you wanted to recommend? Ms Potts and I are going to attempt to shop for the train this afternoon.

[Filtered: Lily Evans]

Hey Mum.  How're you Do you feel like going exploring a bit?

[Filtered: Lily Lu]

Are you and Don still going to England?

[Filtered: Hermione]

How're you doing Mione?

So hey, PSA and all that.

I know we don't know when this son of a bitch is going to stop, but the witches and wizards from my world have been practicing a translation spell. Anyone interested when we do stop, track one of us down and we'll cast it on you. We're offering no promises on how well it'll work, or how long it'll stick, and if you're impervious to magic ... well, don't bother =D It probably won't work on you.

If you want a demonstration beforehand, I know there are a few of us willing to wave our wands around for you to see.

Before you hear it around, Sev Snape's been sent back.

Well.  This isn't Brooklyn.  Or the subway I intended to board.
