Jim Raynor was waiting on platform nine and three-quarters to take the Hogwarts Express for his final year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He hadn't yet changed into his Gryffindor robes and was dressed in a simple white t-shirt and blue jeans. He took a moment to take in the scene before him then took a breath and entered the train.

He headed for his usual carriage and was happy to see Matt and Tychus had already made it there. The three men became reacquainted and spoke about their summers before Matt brought up an interesting topic.

"Did you guys hear about the new students coming to Hogwarts this year?" Matt asked. "From that Ghost Academy?"

"That place doesn't exist. It's a load of bull," Tychus added as he tried to get into a comfortable position to sleep.

"No, it's not. I heard about it, too," Jim added. He heard that some new students would be transferring to Hogwarts this year after their academy was closed down. "Apparently the faculty at the Ghost Academy had been using extreme, brutal, illegal and unethical ways of training their students.

"Something went down and a lot of the students were killed, too," Matt added.

"Seems like a harsh punishment," Jim surmised.

"I bet they killed off the crap students," Tychus added.

"Good job they don't do that here, huh Tychus?" Jim joked.

Tychus shot him a look.

"Some of the professors got killed too... by the students," Matt added.

Jim looked at him in surprise. "What happened?"

"I don't know. But I heard the new students are a little bit... off," Matt added.

"Off? I can see how murders would be," Tychus mentioned sarcastically.

"I guess we will soon find out," Jim said.

"I hope at least some of the girls are hot," Tychus mused. "Six years of the same girls in Hogwarts... I thought I was going to have to start going after Jim's old girlfriends."

Jim glared at him.

"If you get desperate, Tychus," Matt started. "You can have Mira. Please, I insist."

Tychus laughed. "She still chasing you?"

Matt nodded. "I'm starving," he declared to change the subject. "Who wants to come and find the food trolley?"

"I'll come," Jim said as he got up.

"Grab me some Chocolate Frogs," Tychus yelled before they exited the room. He closed his eyes and rested his head against the window to sleep.

The two men left the compartment and walked in the direction of the food trolley.

"Hey," Matt said suddenly to get Jim's attention. "New students ahead?"

"Looks it," he said as he recognised none of the faces in the group of three. They were too old to be first years so they must be from the Ghost Academy.

As Jim and Matt got nearer to the group they all turned to look at them.

"Hey," Jim greeted them.

They said nothing.

"Welcome to Hogwarts," Matt said warmly.

One of the women who had short red hair looked at the only man in their group. The other woman had light brown hair and smiled softly at Matt.

"I'm Jim, this is..."

"Matt," the woman said. "I'm Winlaleah, but my friends call me Leah," she smiled. "This is Dylanna and that's Obi," she indicated the other woman and man respectively.

Dylanna and Obi said nothing.

Suddenly the door opened from the compartment beside them and a beautiful redhead looked at them in surprise. She was wearing a grey jumper which showed her large chest and a short grey skirt that showed off her long toned legs. Her long red hair was pulled back into a ponytail and her eyes were a lovely shade green.

Jim looked at the beautiful redhead before him and his mind thought about kissing her, touching her breasts and finding out what was under that skirt. He hoped she'd be placed in Gryfindor so he wouldn't have too much trouble sneaking into her room at night. He imagined lying on top of her and kissing her naked body.

The redhead quickly pulled the wand out of her pocket and it aimed it at Jim. "You pig," she shouted as a violent light shot from the end of her wand and hit Jim. His body contorted and shrunk leaving behind a small pink piglet on top of a heap of Jim's clothes.

"Are you mad?" Matt shouted at the redhead.

"You should have heard what he was thinking," the redhead said as she bent down to pick him up. She held him in her arms and smiled at him. "He's quite cute as a pig," she added. She tucked him under her arm and began to walk away.

"Where are you taking him?" Matt shouted.

"The butcher's," she shouted back sarcastically and disappeared down the corridor and into one of the compartments.

Leah, Dylanna and Obi laughed softly while Matt frowned.


The redhead entered into the compartment and sat in the seat beside the window.

"Cute pig," Nova remarked at the animal in Sarah's arms from opposite the compartment where she was sat on Tosh's lap.

"His name's Jim," Sarah added as she fed him a piece of food they'd been eating earlier off the table.

"That's a terrible name," Tosh added. "You should be calling him something cool like Bacon." Tosh looked at the pig then realised what Sarah was feeding him with. "Is that a sausage you're feeding him?"

"Yes," Sarah answered. She rubbed Jim's nose as he ate it down.

"That's like cannibalism," Nova pointed out.

"Look, he enjoyed it," she spoke in a baby-talk like tone.

"Where did you get him from?" Nova asked curiously.

"Found him out in the corridor," she smirked as she stroked him gently.

"Can I hold him?" Nova asked excitedly.

"No," Sarah said as she cuddled him tighter. "He's my piggy. I'm going to keep him as a little piggy forever and he'll never be able to escape."

"Keep him as a piggy?" Tosh clarified.

The door opened and a tall old woman came walking quickly in and stared at Sarah. "Miss Kerrigan, is that a Gryffindor student you are holding?"

"It's a pig," Sarah answered back.

"Miss Kerrigan," McGonagall said seriously. "As a new student to Hogwarts I would imagine you'd want to make friends. Not turn them into farmyard animals."

"He was already a pig," Sarah stated. "If you had seen what he was thinking you'd have done the same."

"Miss Kerrigan, you cannot turn students into animals based on what they think. Give him here," the old woman said as she extended her arms.

Sarah looked at the pig once more and smiled at him. "Goodbye, Pig-boy," she told him. She passed it to the old woman and relaxed back in her seat.

"Minus 10 points from whatever house you are placed in," she said coldly and left.


This was done for a friend who got me into a conversation about what Hogwarts house Sarah Kerrigan would be in if she was a witch... Naturally we had the argument of Ravenclaw vs. Slytherin. (Watch out for Chapter 2 to see WHICH house she ends up in.)

My friend also mentioned that "Kerrigan would have totally used the human to pig spell on Raynor".

And from there the plot bunnies multiplied! Raynor and Kerrigan are our two main characters here, but anyone can and will show up at some point.

So this fic has made everyone in the StarCraft universe the age of 18. :)

Don't expect this fic to be anything more than a total parody randomness of uncanonical messyness.
