1Hey! I'm back! I hope you like this story, but I might not update chapters close together as of I am busy with school, currently writing another story, and trying to get a one-shot written. Just to warn you. If you guys like this story, you should also check out my other story, The Tragic Night. Well, enough of my jabbering. I do not own Harry Potter, J.K.R. does. However, I do own the characters Tara, Andi, Taylor, Courtney, Andrew, Ashley, Brittany, Dylan, and Jonathan. Enjoy!

CHAPTER ONE

The Hogwarts Express was about to depart from King's Cross Station. Everyone had boarded.

As it started to move, the door to the compartment some of the Gryffindor Second Years, Harry Potter, Tara Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley, were in opened to revel three new First Years.

"Harry!" One of the two girls squealed, and hurled herself at him.

"It's so good to see you again! It seems like forever since we've seen each other!"

Harry laughed. "It's only been three weeks, Andi!"

"Hi, Tara." the other girl said. "It is nice to be with you and Harry again."

"Hey, Courtney! How was your stay with Uncle Remie?"

Courtney smiled at the nickname.

"I had so much fun! We did so much! We'll tell you about it later."

"Alright," Harry said, then turned to the last First Year, who looked nervous. "Come in and sit down, Taylor, and we'll introduce you three."

The boy named Taylor nervously walked in and sat by Andi.

"Taylor, Andi, Courtney," Tara said, "we would like you to meet our friends Hermione Granger,"

"And Ron Weasley." Harry finished, and winked.

Andi smiled. "Nice to meet you. We've heard so much about you two. I am Andi Black."

"Nice to meet you," Hermione said, and Ron smiled.

"I am Courtney Black," the girl named Courtney said. "It's nice to meet Harry and Tara's two best friends."

"Thank you," Hermione said.

"It's nice to meet you, too." Ron added.

Courtney smiled, and everyone turned to Taylor, who shifted nervously in his seat.

"And I'm Taylor Black." he said.

"What?" Ron asked. "I'm confused."

Hermione just rolled her eyes as the rest laughed.

"We're triplets," Andi explained with a smile. "Though Taylor's older than me by two minutes, and I'm older than Courtney by three minutes. That doesn't really matter though. I'm sure you two know Harry and Tara are twins."

Hermione and Ron nodded.

"Who do you live with?" Hermione asked.

"Our mom," Courtney answered.

Andi added, "Though we visit our uncle a lot."

"So who do you live with then, Harry?" Hermione wondered.

"My godmother," harry said, smiling. "Their mother."

"Makes sense, since they know you two." Ron said.

"So you're all in Gryffindor?" Taylor asked, trying not to be too nervous.

"Yes, my whole family has been in Gryffindor. My brothers Bill and Charlie have already left school. My brother Percy is in his sixth year, my twin brothers, Fred and George, are in their Fourth Year, and my little sister, Ginny, is a First Year." Ron said.

"So you have six siblings?" Courtney asked. "Wow."

"Yeah. You could say I've got a lot to live up to with five older brothers."

"I would say so." Andi said. "How about you, Hermione?"

"Well, I'm Muggle-born, I am in Gryffindor," Hermione started.

"And she's the best in our year." Harry added.

"So, do you guys have any enemies yet?" Courtney asked.

"You haven't told them yet, Harry?" Hermione asked.

Harry replied, "I wanted to save some stuff so we could enlighten them on their first train ride. Must have slipped my mind to tell them."

"Mm-hmm." Hermione said. "You can answer then."

"Okay," Harry shrugged. "Draco Malfoy. He's in Slytherin and I made him my enemy before we even got to school. Vincent Crabb and Gregory Goyle are his cronies."

"And we know you've been made Gryffindor Seeker." Taylor said, trying to lighten the mood.

At that moment the door to the compartment slid open to reveal a pale, blonde-haired boy with what seemed to be a permanent sneer on his face. He was flanked on either side by two bigger boys.

"What do you want, Malfoy?" Ron asked.

"I'd watch it, Weasley." the boy said. "Lookie here. What are First Years doing here with you? You're Second Years. Surely you don't know them."

"Shove off, Malfoy." Harry said.

"No. I don't think I will, Potter."

"You watch it, Malfoy." Tara snarled, and her hair seemed to ignite.

The Blacks caught on quickly. None of them liked the way this boy treated their friends.

"What are you going to do about it, Potter?"

"Not her," Andi said, standing up with her wand out. "Me."

"And who are you?" Malfoy sneered, looking at her in disgust.

"If you keep it up you'll find out." Taylor said, also standing with his wand out.

"Two First Years. I'm so scared."

Just as he finished the sentence a red stunner hit him.

"Well, well, well. I wouldn't have expected that." Hermione said. "A First Year did that to you, Malfoy. You're a Second Year, are you not?"

The spell wore off and Malfoy said, "Be quiet, you stupid little Mudblood."

Courtney, Tara, Harry, and Ron all stood up with their wands out.

"I suggest you leave, Malfoy." Andi said in a deadly voice.

Both hers and Tara's hair was flaming behind them like fire, and Tara's and Harry's green eyes flashed in warning.

Malfoy just sneered and said, "I'll catch you off guard someday. And you had better watch your back." he said, pointing at Andi.

"You mess with her and you mess with me." Taylor growled. He wasn't going to let anything happen to either of his younger sisters. Yeah, they were triplets, but he was still their older brother.

"What family are you from?" Malfoy asked scornfully. "Why should I even ask? You're probably Mudbloods."

"You take that back!" Andi yelled.

"No, I don't think I will." Malfoy replied, and left.

Andi slammed the compartment door shut.

Harry saw tears in her eyes.

She sat back down and Courtney said, "I can see why you guys hate him. He's a git."

"That's a fact." Ron said. "You okay, 'Mione?"

"Fine, Ron, but thanks for asking."

"If he hurts one of my sisters..." Taylor trailed off, a look of pure hatred on his face.

Harry could see Andi was almost in tears.

He gave her a quick hug and placed a friendly, but comforting, arm around her.

He whispered, "Don't worry about what he says. He's a slimy git. You can't let it get to you or he'll know you're an easy target."

Andi wiped away her tears, whispered a thanks, and smiled.

"We'd better get our robes on." Hermione said. "We'll be at Hogwarts soon."

The rest of the way to Hogsmead Station they talked about what house the Blacks wanted to be in.

Of course, they all wanted to be in Gryffindor with their friends, but they had other reasons for wanting to be in Gryffindor, too.

As the First Years walked into the Great Hall the babble of the other students died away.

As it did Taylor started to look nervous again. Andi just gave his hand a reassuring squeeze that accompanied a smile.

Of the Blacks, Andi was the first of the three to be sorted.

"A Black? Well, this should be interesting. Your father a Gryffindor and your mother a Ravenclaw. Let's see. Ah, yes. GRYFFINDOR!"

Andi smiled, took off the Sorting Hat, and walked over to sit by Harry, Ron, Tara, and Hermione.

They gave her big smiles, then they all turned to watch Courtney be sorted.

"GRYFFINDOR!" they heard the hat say, and beamed as she made their way over to them.

Taylor's POV

Taylor got nervous again as he saw his two sisters sorted into Gryffindor.

His name was called and he walked up and put on the hat.

"Another Black? Well, interesting. Triplets. Now where to put you? You want to be able to protect your sisters? Hmm... Let's see then. Ah, yes. GRYFFINDOR!"

Taylor was relieved as he took the Sorting Hat off and went to sit with his sisters and friends.

End Taylor's POV

They heard the name 'Andrew Wood' and Harry's head shot up.

He watched as the First Year sat under the hat, and smiled broadly when he was sorted into Gryffindor.

As they started eating he explained. "Oliver Wood is the Quidditch Team Captain and I suspected that Andrew was Wood's brother. I had to know where he'd be placed."

Ron just nodded as his mouth was stuffed full of food.

Hermione just rolled her eyes at Ron.

Dumbledore made his opening speech, then the students were dismissed.

"We'll see you in the common room!" Tara called, as the Blacks followed the other First Years.

They waved to show they heard her, then hurried along with their group, following the Prefects.

They were showed the portrait of the Fat Lady, told the password, and showed the common room and their dorms.

When they were released they hurried over to grab chairs by the fireplace and to wait for their friends.

Andi and Courtney's dorm mates were Ginny, Ron's sister, Ashley Longbottom, and Brittany Vance.

Taylor's dorm mates were Collin Creevy, Andrew Wood, Dylan Finnigan, and Jonathan Bell.

Their friends showed up along with two identical, freckled, red-heads.

Andi was smart and asked, "Fred and George Weasley, I presume?"

"How do you know who we are?" one of the twins asked, and the other nodded.

"Red hair and freckles. Weasley traits. Identical, which I heard from Harry. So, I figured you must be Fred and George, the pranksters of the house."

"Pranksters of the house? Who came up with that one?"

"I did." Taylor said. "From all we've heard, you are."

"Why, thank you, sir."

"You're welcome. And my name is Taylor Black."

"Nice to meet you. I'm Fred," said one twin.

"And I'm George." finished the other. "And who might you two be?" he asked the two girls.

"I'm Andi Black,"

"And I'm Courtney Black."

"Black?"

"To answer your question, yes." Andi said, before Fred could ask it. "We get that a lot. And yes, we are triplets.

"Looks like we've got competition, George."

"Right you are, Fred."

The Blacks just smiled mischievously.

"Uh-oh." Harry said. "How about not starting now?"

They all laughed.

"Alright," Andi said. "But I'm sure we'll be starting soon."

"Why don't we all get to bed so we'll be awake for classes tomorrow?" Hermione suggested.

"Alright," everyone answered.

"I hope we have Defense Against the Dark Arts (DADA) tomorrow!" Hermione squealed.

Harry and Ron just rolled their eyes.

"I could care less." Andi said.

"I thought you liked DADA." Taylor said.

"I've got a feeling we won't learn a thing with Lockheart teaching."

"Well said!" Ron told her.

"I agree!" Harry added.

Then they all made their way to bed to get some sleep.

I hope you all liked the first chapter of my story! I can't wait to really get into it. Though, as I said before, it could be a while until I get chapter two up. I'll probably try to get the next chapter of my other story and try to get more of my one-shot written. Anyway, please review! I like reviews so I know people are reading and enjoying the story! Hope to get next chapter up soon!
