-On The Train-

Tyler and Mallie, twins from across the seas, were walking down the train isle of the Hogwarts Express, looking for a compartment to sit in. Mallie was constantly pushing her face into the window and waving to their father, who watch, bemused. After a while Tyler got an all to familiar look in his eyes and told his sister that he wanted to sit alone for a while and waved at her, not looking back to avoid the sadness that he knew would be there.

Mallie, left to her own devices, continued to wave to her father even after he had stopped, he was instead trying not to laugh at her excitement. Walking down the train she happened to find a compartment that was open and quickly claimed it before going back to her relentless waving. When the train started moving she even stuck her head through an open window and yell out to him. Not actually words, in any tongue, just yelled.

Once he was out of site she went back to the, thankfully still, empty 'box'. Twenty or so minutes into the ride there came a loud and, must she say it, rude, knock. A blond boy slid the door open, looking a little peeved. Inside the cabin he and his friends usually sat in, was a girl.

She had dark black hair done up in the weirdest fashion: seven very thin very long ponytails on each side of her head were tied together to form two simple pony tails on top of her head and very long bangs that fraimed her face. The rest was probably no longer than a single inch. The clothes that she wore obviously yelled american. Her shirt was a black three-quarter sleeved shirt with 'The Used' logo on it and baggy pants that had to have at least a hundred pockets on it and even more random safety pins. He looked at her and simply said

"Out." She of course ignored him and looked out the window. Not even giving him a huff of annoyance. Obviously, this girl did not know who he was. What a stupid girl. If Draco Malfoy tells you to get out, you leave so fast you don't even leave a dust trail. That's just how things were. Again, he insisted, the girl leave.

"I said 'Out.' That means you leave the compartment with out any trouble." Really this girl just did not learn. Fed up with the charades, Draco pulled his wand and told her to get out once again.

"No." The answer came as simple as his first command, seemingly disinterested it the wand pointed at her. She didn't even draw her own wand, not that it would do her any good, again, this was Draco Malfoy.

Draco only uttered half a syllable before he suddenly found himself upside down on the opposite seat, wide eyed. Mallie was standing above him, twirling his wand between her fingers with an smirk.

"Silly boy, wands are for girls." She raised an eyebrow "… Unleeeessssssss..." She watched as he jumped up and smoothed his clothes and checked to see if all his hair was in place. "Hmm... Yep!" She sat down once again, folding her legs next to her on the seat, and decided that she didn't like the feel of his wand. Something was off with it. Giving it a quick look she chucked it at its owners head, earning an undignified look from said owner. She may very well regret it, cause EVERY one knew that you don't anger a wand. It just wasn't done.

Blaise moved forward, his wand drawn when he got over his shock, and was ready to send her his own curse but Pansy stopped him. "Oh, forget it. If the idiot girl wants to stay there let her. I want to sit. And I'm not going to wait on your childish antics." With a huff, Draco sat down, having already retrieved his wand. He might be mighty Malfoy but you don't want to get on the gossip queen's bad side. It'd ruin you... and quite possibly everyone you know.

The three sat down, an awkward silence coming over the cabin. Draco, who was glaring at the offending girl, saw it first. A snake was slowly raising itself out of the front of her shirt. She didn't even seem to notice. It took a look at the other occupants, tasted the air, backed up a few inches and let out a large hiss that made the other three jump. It then dove as fast as it could toward the girls right pocket where a rather loud squeak and some scratching noises followed rapid, frantic movement.

Before the snake could reach its destination, a small mouse ran out of the pocket, jumped onto the floor and ran in circles around the girls legs, effectively winding the snake in a near knot. When Pansy looked up she saw that the girl had still managed not to notice what was going on. But she did seem to snap out of it when said mouse ran up her leg and into her shirt. At first she seemed a little startled but then gave a deflating sigh.

"Moose, out.... Now. I'm not kidding." Her shirt moved. With another sigh, Mallie reached into her shirt and pulled the rodent out and glared at him. The snake slowly wound its way up her leg and stared at the mouse like it was prey. Probably was. "Moose, you know that's not the safest place for you to be. It only annoys me." She continued to glare at it until it squeaked. "And you, Biff. Need I continue to tell you to stay away from him? I'll leave you somewhere if you don't behave a little more."

The other three believed the girl across from them had to be demented or something. She was reprimanding a mouse and a snake, both of which had the oddest names. There was just no other word for it. But, it seemed to work because the snake gave off another hiss and curled into her lap, staring at the Slytherins. The mouse on the other hand jumped up between her pony tails and stood there as if it were about to jump.

After she was sure the two would behave, even if for only a little while, Mallie settled back to staring at the window. That is until she seemed to realize that she had no idea who she was sitting with. Nearly jumping out of her seat.

"Oh, by the way, I'm Mallie. Mallie Watersmith. Who are you?..." Her smile faded "... Or not..." She mumbled, turning back to the window when no answer came.

"I'm Pansy Parkinson.: The only girl of the three spoke up. "This-" she pointed to her right "-is Draco Malfoy. And this-" Pointing to her left "-is Blaise Zabini. We're Slytherin sixth years. I must say, I've never seen you before but you look our age. Do you go to Hogwarts?"

"Well, I'm transferring in from one of the American schools. I can't rightly remember which one by this point but one of them."

"You don't remember what school you were just in? And why would you be transferring in? I've never heard of that before. I thought Hogwarts only took in the eleven year olds to be first years." Draco had a point.

"Well, I don't know about that but I don't remember what school I was in because I'm lucky if I get to stay in a single school for a whole year. It's just this whole thing with my dad.

"Now, what I do know is that I've been tested or what ever and have been deemed smart enough to stay in the year that everyone else my age is in. I can't remember but I do believe that it was sixth year... Hey! Did you just say you were in sixth year? That's so cool! I know someone. That makes me happy-ness!" She did a little jig like dance while still sitting in her seat and if it were possible her eyes would have turned into bright yellow stars. "Ooo! I have to potty!" She jumped up, ignoring Biff who had to practically spring herself at the other occupants to avoid hitting the floor. She slid the door open again and turned around. "I will be back. Don't even try to lock the door or whatever." She skipped down the isle, looking for the restrooms. Biff slithered back to the vacated seat and coiled back into a tight knot.

Before anyone had a chance to slide the door closed once again, two people walked in while the two others stayed on the out side. Crab and Goyle keeping guard. Theodore cast silencing spells and Millicent took a seat, eyeing the strange snake.

"Where'd the snake come from?"

"It belongs to a girl who's also sitting here. Theo don't lock it, just let Crab and Goyle know that there is a girl with long black hair that will want to come in. Have them tells us when she does. We need to make this quick. No telling when that deranged girl will be back."

And so they talked. Planned. This year would be big and quite troublesome.

*-^.^-*

Mallie had just come from the bathroom and was slowly making her way back to the 'box'. Something made her stop. Looking around she found the reason. Her brother was in the next compartment up. The light haired boy was looking out the window, probably ignoring the other three occupants. As if sensing his sister, Tyler looked over to the door and, seeing her, nodded his head. With a smile, Mallie finished her walk and found outside her compartment, two menacing boy. Probably sixth years and friends of the other three with in.

"Uhh... Can I help you two?" Instead of an answer, one of them knocked on the door twice and nothing else. She raised an eyebrow. "Can I get in? I'm kinda sitting here." Still nothing but a simple grunt. Not very smart are they? She took a step closer ready to, at least, try and move them.

"Just wait. They're talking." the one one the left said. Mallie growled but back away. Fine, she'll give it a moment.

Mallie leaned against the wall behind her and pulled out a small plastic box. Attached to it was a cored that had two buds at the end, she put those into her ears. After fiddeling with the box for a few seconds loud noises broke out from her ears, causing both boys to jump a little.

After a while, ten minutes tops the door opened, but the white haired girl seemed not to notice. She looked to be asleep. They just decided to leave her there. No use in putting up with her for longer than they needed to.

After about five minutes a girl with bushy brown hair came up to Mallie and tapped her on the shoulder. "Excuse me, are you a Hogwarts student? I don't believe I've seen you before." Mallie nodded not opening her eyes.

"Transferring from the states." she whispered.

"Oh." She looked over to the compartment, "Are you friends with Malfoy?" Mallie shrugged.

"I was sitting there when he and his friends came in." She looked up at the slightly taller girl tilting her head a little "You were sitting with my brother a little while ago weren't you? White hair, white... clothes."

"Oh, yes. He seems a little shy... are you his older sister or younger sister? You look to be the same age."

"We're twins actually. But he is the eldest." She turned her head a little, looking out the window.

"Oh. Well, why are you out here? Shouldn't you be in the compartment?"

"I don't like boxes." She gave the girl a serious smile. "I was also wanting to see how long they would let me stay out here before getting fed up and telling me to come in. Guess that plan is ruined now, since I'm obviously been 'awakened'." Her smile turned into a smirk.

"Oh, Sorry." The girl gave her a sheepish smile. "I'm Hermione by the way. Hermione Granger. I'm Gr-"

"Sixth year Griffindor prefect. I know, I've had to listen to them for a while complaining about you. And ... Ronald Weasley, too, right? Odd name..." She looked back to the compartment, well, Guess I should get back in there before they change their minds." With that she pushed off the wall and walked in, pulling one of her ear buds out and shoved it down the front of her shirt so as to not pull the remaining one out of her other ear. Hermione watched after her for a few seconds but continued on her way. She was likely to be on the opposite side of things in a short while anyway. Best not to get attached.

Before she sat down, Mallie put out her hand to the snake in her seat. She had to nudge it a few times before it lifted its head and wound its way up her arm and across her chest, resting its head on her left shoulder. When she sat, the dark haired girl crossed her legs at the knee and leaned back, looking out the window.

"Unless we've let someone else in here, I'd have to say you three were exaggeration quite a bit. She doesn't seem all that deranged to me." Theodore Nott said, examining the intruding girl sitting in front of him.

"I'm only as deranged as you think I am." she said, not looking at them. "I've actually been asked by many people if I'm bipolar."

"Are you?" Millicent asked, scooting closer to Blaise who had moved when the new comers showed up.

"According to my... many shrinks, I'm not. And it's not contagious or anything even if I did. No need to shy away." She looked over to the girl. "You don't look the shy type, anyway." Her smirk broadened as she look back to the window. After a few minutes of quiet she was fed up with the awkwardness. "Alright. Are you going to ask me or not? And if not then at least don't act like stupid brick walls. Gah!"

"We're not stupid brick walls." Pansy seethed. "And what would we have to ask you anyway? Whatever you would be able to tell us we more than likely already know or couldn't care less about."

"Yes, couldn't care less. I kinda guessed at that." She mumbled to her self. "What you haven't asked me yet is if I'm pure blood or not." Here she paused and stole a glance at Milicent again. "Should you have done that ages ago?" She raised an eyebrow at the three across from her.

"At this point I think I'll deal with not knowing. There's plenty of time for interrogations later." He leaned back and closed his eyes, ignoring the looks from the other occupants.

*-^.^-*

The train had finally stopped, and most of the students were already out and getting on to the carriages. Mallie decided to stay with the group of people she had been with so that she didn't get lost on her way. Needless to say, they didn't like that idea too much. But she followed behind them anyway.

When they got close to one of the carriages, Mallie ran up to the front and cautiously began to stroke it's leathery neck.

"Such a beautiful creature." Draco snorted in disbelief.

"Beautiful? That thing is hideous. I'm glad I was never able to see it before. Gah!" He opened the door to step in.

"I didn't exactly mean it's looks were beautiful, even though in a way it is..." she looked back to the horse like creature in front of her. "I meant more the meaning behind them. I can't remember exactly but my brother told be about them and ever since then I've liked them. Only those who've seen death can see them. Kinda dark, no?" She smirked and raised her eyebrow once again, chuckling as the blond made a face and continued to get into the carriage. Mallie followed going in after Pansy and Millicent as Blaise and Theodore both insisted that 'ladies should go first'. She laughed but jumped in anyway. Silly boys.

"So, you've obviously seen death." the way she said it made the statement seem more like a question.

"Possibly... mayhap I... caused it to happen... Set something into motion that ended them Or maybe... I'm even the one to drain the life... myself." She grinned, showing elongated canis teeth the others had not previously seen. They backed away from her.

"What, are you like a vampire or something?" Draco asked, almost afraid to know the answer. She chuckled.

"No, I'm not a vampire. I am a pure blood. But it was worth making you think so." she laughed some more. "Even so vampirism isn't necessarily a bad thing. Nor is it only for dark creatures. Even humans try it. Didn't you know? Mere humans, some who get their teeth elongated by a dentist or such, actually rather prefer to drink blood from others, most of whom are just as willing by the way. There are many reasons why. Some just like the taste. Some think it gives them power. Some believe it will keep them looking young and or beautiful. And, most, just do it because of the pleasure." She looked at them all. " You're mall more than likely not virgins so you may have possibly done it yourselves. When you bite in the neck of someone your having sex with, it sends their system haywire. They like it. And if they were to do it to you... Mmm..." she tilted her head back "It's a jolt... It's a shock... It... makes your brain do funny things you never thought it could do. And if your lucky enough for it to happen during an orgasm... depending on how hard the bite is, you may never come back down again."

"I take it you've done such a thing on may occasions?" she opened an eye and looked to her right, Zabini was looking at her funny.

"Maybe."

"Maybe is always a yes." Malfoy said, rolling his own eyes.

"Actually, 'Maybe' is a way to confuse you." She stared at him. " 'Maybe' is a way to mess with your mind. 'Maybe' is a word used when the one saying it wants you to think of the answer yourself, come up with the reasons on your own, and leave you hanging in the air for the truth. It leaves you wondering if the answer you come up with is anywhere close. If used the right way, it can leave you thinking about it indefinitely, always questioning it. Taking up every thought you have, leaving nothing left but that single one, floating around dangling right in front of your eyes, ever elusive." She sat back in her seat, a smirk like grin hanging on her lips. "Or that's what my brother said. He has a way with words, don't you know." She chuckled again, pushing the forgotten ear bud back where it belongs. After fishing the bow connected to it out of her shirt sleeve she pushed a button and the music got louder. Loud enough that the others could make out the words.
