Train Station- Azkaban

Kelsi sat inside the train with her head against the wall. It was dark outside. And cold. She couldn't feel her toes. And she was staring at the ceiling.

Fry was next to her, with his legs up to his chest, and was staring at the floor in front of him. "Kelsi, I don't want to die."

Kelsi looked at him. She then realized that she has hardly talked to her brother both the summer and this year- even last year. She suddenly felt a large burst of affection for him. And, being the older (despite smaller) sister she is, she hugged him tightly. She wrapped her arms around him, and hugged him, and rested her head on his shoulder. "You're not going to die," she said and closed her eyes. The train slowed down and the large screeches filled the air. The compartment shook madly and caused them to have to press their hands on the floor to keep balance.

A man entered the compartment- he was dressed in black robes and a dark mask. "Filthy mudbloods," he hissed. "We are stopping to have some refills, then you shall be sent back up to the Ministry of Magic for some strict interviewing. I grant that most of you- if not all will be coming back." He said darkly with a smirk. He left the compartment and Kelsi heard him yell at some people. "GET IN, COME ON!"

Kelsi suddenly stood up. "Fry- Fry- Robin might be in here!" She cried, and pulled him up. "Come on. Let's look for her!"

She strained over the heads of the other people, and gasped at what she saw. These people who were entering the train, they weren't people. They were long, thin, and gray, they were uncleaned, and wearing matching dull long dress-like shirts that fell to their knees. Their feet dragged on the ground and their faces had no emotions.

"They're like... robots..." Fry said in a disgusted voice.

"It's horrible.." Kelsi whispered. She then prayed and HOPED not to see Robin. She didn't want to see Robin in such a state. Please, please please no Robin... please please please. she thought.

And, no, there was no Robin. The train started moving again. Kelsi was relieved. "Thank God..." she sighed, and glanced at Fry, who still had a dark expression on his face.
"You know, Kelsi, she may be in one of the other boxes."
"... I know. But, I doubt she'd be here. I can't imagine Robin in Azkaban."

[[And, yes, because I want to do some melonfarming role playing, I'm going to do some godmodding.]]

"Hey, that guy looks familiar." Fry pointed.
Kelsi slowly looked up, and stared at a small man around her age who looked thin and frail and weak and, like everyone else, gray. But, there was something familiar about him.
"Wait-- Wait, is that Nicolas?"

[Not like I care. I could care less if you involve me you wonderful person.]

And yes, it WAS Nicolas. He still had his old clothes, so he'd removed the dress and was now wearing the same blue shirt and tan shorts he'd been wearing when he was captured in the summer. He kept his face blank, and didn't bother looking around for anybody he might know. It didn't matter at this point.

Kelsi stood up. She walked slowly up to him. And she sat down in front of him and stared at him. "Nicolas?" she asked softly.

He looked at her, desperately trying to remember her. She looked so familiar. "You look... where do I know you from?" he asked, narrowing his eyes slightly in concentration.

"Kelsi, you idiot!" She snapped angrily. Then she paused. Obviously he'd probably forget, he was just in Azkaban. "... Oh my God, your alive..." She laughed drily and smiled feebly. "Rachel... she's going to be so happy." Then Kelsi realized she might never see Rachel again.

"She will?" his face seemed to light up at the thought. "She's been thinking about me, then?"

"A lot." Kelsi said quickly. "When we told her you were taken, she was furious. I'm personally glad you didn't see her." Kelsi said quietly. "... What happened to you? You look... umm..."

And so, Nicolas relayed what happened while he was gone--about crossdressing and the conditions and being separated from Robin and all of that. All while avoiding eye contact, and mumbling the last part of being separated and whatnot.

Kelsi gasped. "Y-you were with Robin?! Is she here?! In the train?!"

"I don't know. We were separated at Azkaban."

Kelsi looked disappointed. "I see.. So she made you crossdress?"

"Yeah, she did." He turned a bit pink. It was rather embarrassing.

"I wonder what happened to the other men." Kelsi thought quietly.

The train hit a rather large bump and Kelsi fell over. "... Your sister's in here, somewhere." she said, suddenly.

"She is?!" Nicolas suddenly looked worried, but then relieved. "She's probably with Robin. I have a feeling that she is."

"Really? She was in this compartment when we entered."

"She's not now..." Nicolas looked around. "I don't see her."

Kelsi frowned. "She's gone through a lot. Hopefully... hopefully you can find her, she'll be needing her big brother."

"I've never really been the tough big brother... her and I never had the best relationship, you know."

"You aren't supposed to be a brother," Nicolas told Kelsi. "You're a girl. Unless you're cross-dressing too, as Kelsi!"

Kelsi frowned. "No, I'm not cross-dressing. I..." Kelsi thought of something to say. "I think maybe it's time you two improve your relationship, then!"
