~Beatrix's Point of Veiw~

Dear sister Beatrix,

I'm sorry this is late. You might be wonder I had decided to write to you. This is very hard to write, Merlin. It's so hard. And you will under stand when you go to Hogwarts. I will send you letters as many as you wish me and more.

In the package I sent you a gift for your birthday; I'm sorry I couldn't send it earlier, for I was scared you would not want to read it. The gift that I got you for your birthday, to open it stroke your wand (get your mind out of the gutter) down the spine. Remember there are many different secrets some -to you- will be easy to find. Others will take the rest of your education.

The goblins seem to like me and my job is going well. You are now the head of the house since I have left. I'm sorry. I am weak and you, you're strong, please remember that. Scheme as your heart pleases. Don't trust Father, he's gone mad. Madder than usual and I'm worried about you.

Your school is filled with mystery and I tend to help you. You will find the marauders' were quite popular my little Trixie, and found things out about the school that people would only wish to know. To know more about these mysteries you have to picture yourself winning and listen for the mermaids as the school motto is clear. Take care of Cassia, Pol, Cas, and yourself.

I love you little sister,

Zack

It was the first letter he sent since he left. The letter was encoded with many meanings some obvious and others hidden like.

Looking at the little box in my hand I turn it over and did as the letter subscribed. Before my eyes a beautiful intricate trunk expanded. I looked expensive more money then he should be able to afford. The wood was hazel like my wand with dragon hide. The locks were silver that matched my necklace. Dam he's good.

At the side of the trunk where my name in name bore I could see inconsistencies in the wood work. Sliding my name upside down inside was a buck of Mini fire works, Dungbombs, and many more Zonko creations. Not able to hold in my excitement any longer I grabbed my key around my neck and opened the trunk one side was a dresser and the other held many assortment of shelves and coverts'. Grabbing the trunk I had bought at Diagon Alley I filled the other.

Checking the time of the clock on the mantel I silently swore. 10:05. quickly as I could I got dressed in proper robes that my father would approve of, that sweater had been a turtle neck and with a long flowing skirt that hit my knees, the turtle neck to my demise was a soft pink imprinted with white floral designs checking my appearance in the mirror to see any faults my father my include to insult I grabbed my bag and satchel and down stares I went.

"Your late, we could have been there ten minutes ago." bowing my head in shame he continued. "Floo to the station"

Running to the floo I grabbed a hand full of green powder. It was a blur. Suction through a fireplace was not suitable to my tastes, shall I kill myself if I marry one who likes the blistering rush it portrays. Lucky I didn't fall as I landed. My balance is not as trusty as that of a cat, and never will I.

The Red train faced me, it was not that special. I have seen many like it yet it still knocked the breath out of me. The students around me looked moderately happy. My surroundings' distracted me from the sound of the fireplace; quickly modifying my posture I turned to greet my father.

"Father thank you for this honorable gift I will not displease you" smirking I curtsied. Only to be quickly refuted.

"Don't get cheeky with my young lady"

"S-sorry Father" the stuttering didn't help, and with a calm look he started again.

"I hope you have a great year dear" My father said patting my head looking else were. In the distance I could see platinum hair. This only meant one thing.

"Straighten up dear we are going to be in the, unfortunate presence of the Malfoy's" War, political war was set upon the Elryc and Malfoy families for years. I really had no problem with the Malfoy's my father was another story.

"Hello Lucius, Draco. A fine day is it not" His self worth rose with every word, it sickened me. No matter how much I may do it myself, seeing it in others was not right.

"Yes it seems as though our young ones are starting to grow up" Lucius sneered, politely. A strange custom seemingly only a Malfoy could pull off. "Now, how is it in the governors' position I heard they have been giving cut backs"

"Well Lucius your in the same vote remember, you do not want to be replaced" The conversation went on for what seamed for hours. I didn't even notice that Draco had already left.

"Why father the trains going to be going in any minute I fear I must go now" I hated doing it but it was essential to survival, one slip could be a bone.

"Why yes you may, your education is quite the importance, and you do not want to be a failure like HIM now do you" HE was Zack my brother, the heir of the Elryc family. Before he had denounced the family name, for a Girl not of 'our' stature. Absent minded I put my hand over my pocket where his letter sat.

"No father I'll make you proud" Walking through the door of the train and walked to the back only then to be ambushed.

"No father I'll make you proud, is little suck up scared of her whittle daddy" Draco.

"Wow you sound like Bellatrix, Oops was I not suppose to say that?" Draco isn't a bad person couldn't hurt a fly. He just has a higher influence, that doesn't mean that he doesn't enjoy a nice insult.

"I wasn't the one named after her" I proud sneer covered his lips.

"Well I was not named after a muggle, now was I?" That was all it took, no witty come back, nothing.

Silently I went into an empty compartment and took my trunk out from my pocket. Being a gift from my brother and his brilliant mind it was self changing devise. Grabbing my bag |I closed the compartment door and locked it a spell my brother taught me when I had gotten my wand. Quickly changing into my usual clothes and putting the others in the bag the others came from. In the Hidden covert of my truck, I grabbed some of my many smoke powders, Dungbombs, and mini Fireworks. Taking a peak out the door I saw Draco getting in one of the compartments down the hall of the train with several other people. This was going to be fun.

Bored of waiting in my compartment I walked out into the hall, not caring if I went back or forth. It surprised me how little, people ventured out of there dungeons they made for themselves. People from all around more then I was used to. A quick brim voice sounded behind me reminding me of a reprimanded records keeper at the ministry.

"Yes?" I asked not able to comment anymore as her squirrel like brown bushy hair and school robes invaded my vision. We can not be at Hogsmeade already… can we?

The though was like her voice brim and reprimanded as Hogsmeade was no where to be seen.

"I thought you were lost" As soon as the statement left her mouth a laugh escaped mine.

"Not to be rude and I'm trying to be as honest as possible and… I, how do you get lost on a train" She seemed to take both of the apology and question wrong.

"I… um… I" Smiling as best I could, giving my farewell and left.

Yet again bored I start to ponder a look at the time. 1PM, late. Looking over at the elderly lady rolling the trolley I pick up my speed. 30 minutes.

Silently I swept to the other side of the Slytherin compartment door. In the shadowy ledge of the train door. I patently waited for the right moment to arise. They seemed to be waiting for me

But I knew other wise. A soft crisp voice sounded behind me awakening me from my concentration. Successfully scarring me out of my wits.

"Oh let me guess President of 'We Love Draco' fan club are we?" She seemed off her rocker and just a glance said it.

"Psh! No I am going to prank the pompous prince, so girly you may want to move." I am sorry to say she intrigued me. The dress was not telling as the pink over road my train of thought.

"Well if you are going to prank him you better run when you do, or else you will have the evidence on you or they might see you running. But if you want to die go right ahead. But if you want some assistance on how not to get caught, listen up. Why not place them all in the edge of the door and place a charm so the door will open in …oh 5 minutes and then have the other pieces set to go off into the room then. So we can make a clean get away without being murdered." A devious smirk crossed her lips.

She could almost be Slytherin but she gave the information. A trade was not made. To be a Slytherin you need the devious heart that plans the ambition that you would do anything to achieve that of what you wish most. And at the moment my wish was to smoke out the ferret that was ironically doing a prank, that of his own, Amateur. Then it dawned on me.

"Wait a second, we?" I hissed out.

"Yes WE will prank those idiots but you can do it all on your own if you know the spell to actually have the timer."

"Nope" I silently admitted. My mixed eyes ablaze, my mind was reeling, So many possibilities'. So similar yet, different.

"Then let us get started…partner." the sound was strange to my ears but I accepted it all the same. Then it struck me.

"Hey! I never asked what your name is even."

"Well mine is Tanya Royce. And yours?"

"Beatrix Elryc"

Sitting in anticipation their, originally Beatrix's, plan to unfold itself to the wonders of the Slytherins. Within moments squeals that sounded that of many Doxie's in pain. Then in the mist of all the commotion, Slytherins of many shapes and sizes ran from the compartment not caring who they had stepped on.

"Dude I didn't know my siblings were in there! Sweet!" in her Enthusiasm she had not noticed the door of the compartment open.

Two ginger boys stumbled through and unfortunately due to Tanya's happy moment. The shorter of the two of what seemed to be twins stumbled on to her. Sending both to the trains' floor.

"Five sickles she is going to scream then kick him in the shin" I said off handily the sickles already in my hand.

"Your on" the ginger lad said not looking up from the rubble laying before us.

I could see one eye open after the other both simultaneously blinking at the same time. I prayed as time seemed to slow. She had to, If not my sickles would be lost. Then the apologies seemed to stream out of his mouth. I could see the other smirking from the corner of my eye.

Then the most dreaded thing happened, she smiled and said "No it's alright."

"COME ON! I JUST LOST 5 SICKLES" adding tears to my loss. Only to get up mumbling about loosing my wage. For all I know, only the taller ginger noticed.

After a while as I calmed down from my episode, learned that the Twins were none other then Fred and George or the troublesome duo as my brother would say. Fred seemed to be the one who won the bet and George being the unlucky block to take the fall into Tanya.

Remembering that the Trolley lady was to come by any moment did I look at the time. Counting down from ten I waited, only to find I was a minute off.

"Anything from the Trolley dears" she was old no doubt about that, she seemed to be as old as Dumbledore's mother.

"No thanks, we're all set" the twins said in unison as they held up what appeared to be left over turkey sandwiches.

"Actually, I'll take the load." Tanya piped up. Taking the candy that was looked never ending. Not paying attention on how Tanya took the liberty to sit on Georges lap.

The candy flowed out onto the compartment seats; I grabbed all that said strawberry and laid it beside me. I felt like a dragon protecting its gold and jewels.

"Well why don't you two lovebirds talk about the first thing that POPS up." me and Fred proclaimed in a similar fashion as he and his brother. Causing us both to blush like tomatoes. Regaining myself I continued.

"Anyways, why were you two running in anyways?" I asked stuffing some candied Strawberries.

"Well those Slytherin blocks-" George began.

"Were chasing us since they were the victims of-"

"A prank, and we didn't do it."

"I reckon we were framed." Fred ended biting the head of a Chocolate covered cream frog. Well it is the only sensible way to eat a chocolate frog or anything for that matter.

In an instant we were laughing, Tanya ended up on the floor tears streaming her eyes. She looked like a child put under the cheering charm.

"Do you two lovely ladies know who did it then?" they both baited with a funny glare on their faces, amused.

"Nope, were laughing because… " trying to think of an answer I fiddled with my hair. Damn I am usually better then this!

"Because… because my sister and brother were in there!" busted out of Tanya's mouth quickly scooting herself towards the window.

They then did the unthinkable. "Well in that case we will claim it is our own. You know it would be awesome people have already given us a lot of thumbs up. Right Gred?"

"Right, Forge"

"YOU TWO BLOKES ARE NOT STEALING MY-" Taking a glance Tanya I piped "OUR PRANK!" I bellowed before Tanya could cover my mouth. This was probably a good thing as I might have bit her.

"Trix you are a complete twat! They were baiting us!" Tanya muttered quite loudly.

About to sit back down on George only to realize he wasn't there anymore. Jumping to the other side, so I wouldn't get caught in the mingled three. As the two gingers legs were set on top of Tanya's stopping her from getting up.

"So love, you two did the prank?" Fred leaned closer.

"Why oh why are you mean to use… beasts." I asked.

"Oh please!" Tanya screamed shoving their leg off of her.

"Anyway who do you think you two blocks are? Prefects?" Discuses ran cross their face but quickly brightened again. "Because I can tell you are not… but I could go get one, would you rather harassment charge or hmm maybe I could tell them you were doing a prank on the Slytherin unlawfully?" I wouldn't call it threat but many would take it so.

"Well take it easy love; we are just joking with you. You see we are the kings of pranks in this school." both George and fed replied like it had been per-planed from the beginning. Both hands raised above their heads.

"Trix why do you not take a deep breath and calm down. They were just attempting to see how great we can be for pranks. Right Fred and George?" said holding a Strawberry liquorices wand towards me.

Both nodded as I snatched the wand from Tanya's hand holding it like a life line that was to be bitten any moment.

"Well loves, we will see you around. We need to go bug are dear Ronnie-kins, and check on our first year sister, But before we forget what year so we know how often we will see you"

"Well I am a First year but I'm twelve." I stated like it was the most common thing in the world. Taking my satchel from the shelf above the seats, that carried everything.

"Same basically but I am twelve in about eleven or so nights." Tanya added while cleaning the mess everyone seemed to make.

"But how? I mean you are supposed to come when you are 11 years old." Fred piped up while he stepped back into the compartment.

"Well parents have the rights to wait a year if you are not of the age requirement before school begins. Such as my mother did not send me off last year but she sent my brother who is the same age as me Or for the muggle born children they prefer to send it when they are eleven instead of asking the parents." Tanya muttered, I knew what she meant.

" Well that seems a bit…"

"…sad, pathetic, take your pick. Right, Forge?"

" Right as always Gred."

Forge as Gred supplied had a 'G' knitted neatly in the sweater were as Forge had the letter 'F' it was almost like they couldn't recount their own names.

"Well you are correct… Fred…" Tanya spoke first.

"… and George." Both of the boys looked in utter shock that these two first years had deciphered. "I'm sorry to say my poor sexy beast but Fred?… your taller"

"And George even now your voice is a wee bit deeper." Tanya added giving us the chance to just walk out.

One by one we walked into the lavatory to find it empty. Allowing us to just grab a stall. The situation which was not really a situation at all brought up a sick joke I heard that day.

Tanya seeing my smirk she hit me up side the head claiming it was for my own good and that it hurt her more than I.

Running out of my stall, I turn to look at Tanya, and I just gutted my self laughing. Her skirt seemed to just drown the part it covered but it only covered an inch or so above her knees and her sweater reached down so you could only see an inch and a half of her skirt. She had knee high socks so there was only a small chunk of skin showing.

"What? My mother thought since my sister had to have new clothes she would cast these to me but the blouse she bought me a new one and tie."

Looking at her jumper I could see that a badge was removed and quickly replaced while the trim had been changed also. Looking at hers and then to mine. The effect was completely opposite as mine was clean and pressed to a dignified wavering.

"I am so sorry but you look absolutely horrid!" I choked out inn my fit of giggles.

"Damn it!" Waving her wand over her attire three times muttering a quite Shapus Clothus a spell I have never even heard of baffling me to no end. And to my amazement the rages she had acclaimed became new, fitting her to a tee as had mine.

"Who honestly needs Madame Malkin? When you can create your own spells." Tanya snobbishly said while she brushed off invisible dust.

"You have to show me that spell sometime, since in the ones in the books I have read are all temporary." I muttered slipping out of the lavatory.

Walking back to the compartment we talked about our families and all the pranks we've pulled on them. The conversation was nice. Never have I -other than with my brother- had I had such a full conversation that didn't included threats of pain or decapitation. It was nice.

Looking over the boat causing it to tilt I see a huge tentacle moving gracefully in the murky waters underneath.

"What is that…?" I called to Tanya to make sure my eye's have yet to deceive me.

"I don't see anything" she gruffly replied, annoyed at my assumed idiocy.

"Well look harder. Do you see it Ginny?" with a sift fine she looked over. However never in my wildest dreams have I thought I'd meet the kraken. To bad; the joy was not mine, for Tanya fell in before I. that is that I will ever fall.

With in moments off Tanya's fall did Hagrid the friendly Giant of a man pick her as though she were a kitten. Finally as we landed at Hogwarts shore Ginny and I headed to the alcove behind the troll like Statue. Within moments a set of red haired twins appeared.

"Really we know we are the most…"

"Appealing men in Hogwarts…."

"But using our…"

"Sister is…"

"Just Desperate"

"You know if I wanted you I would have had you by now. However my dear friends, Sexy beasts, I do not say I do" Both ignoring my comment turned to their sister telling her about the "troll" that she would have to face and the 'Spells' used to defeat it.

"Oh shut it lets go see Tanya, She had a swim a moment ago" Ginny quipped, with out a word they fallowed us to the last known area she was seen.

In the distance I could see Tanya with a fluffy blanket covering her shoulders. With a tug at my stomach I felt a little guilty but still could not shake off how funny she looked with her hair askew. Not only was it covering her face but had stuck up, looking like spikes.

I could hear a stifle of laughs coming from the twins behind. With a swift movement my fist swung down accidentally hitting Fred where devils snare would not hide. Well who would blame it, who would blame HIM.

"Ouch Bella How-"

"Fredrick Gideon Weasley Do not dare call me that!" I said glaring at him tears threatening to fall.

"I'm so- Wait how do you-"

"Just do not call me that please"

-Third Person-

Fred Looked at Beatrix with mixed feelings he was mad that she, well sacked him but at the same time saddened by her emotions. It mad him wonder what was so bad about it.

Mean while Trixie Looked at him his eyes full of wonder, she really noticed how they sparkled, in the faint glow of the light, she felt as though they were the only ones at Hogwarts, what was Hogwarts.

"Trix calm down" Ginny said touching her arm as George to Fred, only to pull away as though they were burned.

Fred and Trix finally coming out of their 'trance' both walked towards Tanya with a small wave both George and Ginny hiding their opposite hand.

"You two were right by the way the squid was huge! Oh my gosh its pupil was like the size of a dinner plates." She exclaimed very brightly, Almost jumping out of her wet socks. Making us laugh.

"You know what? If there ever is a dance at this school I am bringing him as my date. His name will be…" Beatrix exclaimed as she paused to think.

"Fred?"

"George?"

"Michael?"

"Ronald?"

"Nope he will be called… JACK!" Beatrix Saluted out of thin air.

"Fred, George one of yer lads dry her clothes she is shiverin' right in front of you." The half giant proclaimed walking through the entrance not bothering to even ask why they were even there.

After they died her they heard Hagrid shout out the most obvious thing at the current moment.

"Now let us get you into the school and sorted to yer houses."

~Beatrix's Point of Veiw~

Walking in with Tanya and Ginny I notice the four tables; Green, Yellow, Red, and Blue. With name of their houses above in intricate banners, many ideas popped in my head of what I could do to them.

At the Front of the Great Hall I saw a Tall woman her hair had been pulled in a tight bun her Robs a deep green. She looked like the tough teacher that assigned homework. I already did not like her.

Then she opened her mouth. It was like a can opener the ones muggles use. It was sharp and shrill. Name after name she calls. You would be surprised how many B's there are.

"Elryc, Beatrix" With a jump onto the rickety stool I waited for the mouldy hat to be placed upon my head.

"Beatrix Elryc I remember when-"

"Sorry to interrupt I have a question before we begin this 'oh I remember your brother it was like yesterday he had such a brilliant mind' spew I have a question" I waited and when the hat did not answer a continued "are You a boy or a girl hat"

"I was made for the students by Godric Gryffindor"

"So you are a boy"

"I did not say that"

"Yes actually you did"

"I said I was made for the students"

"You also said you were mad by male magic making you a boy, like how Hogwarts was made by all founders making it a hermaphrodite"

"Very perceptive, but what house should I put you in is the real question" he said in a dignified tone.

"Yes Alfred I think you are right"

"Alfred? Yes that is your new name instead of the old raged hat who students are allergic to because of how dusty you actually are."

"Hmm I like it thank you… I think"

"Your very welcome I was thinking I should go were life would be easy for me and I would build my strengths, you?"

"I believe you are right, you belong in, Slytherin!" Jumping down from my seat I head to the green table. To my left I can see the twins looking at me perplexed. With a small evil grin I give them a wink and start a conversation with Theodore Nott.

Looking over at Tanya I see she's in some sort of trance like state only coming out of it as her name is called. It was a, in and out procedure as she was called to Gryffindor. Life was going to get interesting.
