A whisper strikes through the darkness and a young girl tries to meet it, clutching at the sound.

"Alexia!" it comes again, a terrifying hiss.

"What? Who are you?" she asks not knowing whether to go to, or away from the sound.

"Die!" The voice, in a horrible shriek, screamed.

At that Alexia was upright in her bed, sweat and tears dripping from her head. She rubbed her eyes and walked to the window of her small yet cozy room. "Why?" she whispers to herself "Why do you torment me?"

At sunrise she was ready to go to London, she had spent the last two weeks preparing for her school transfer and was now ready and somewhat excited. " Hey halfbloods, let's go! I've been waiting for a freakin' hour already, come on!" She hollered down a small hallway.

At the end of the hall a door slammed open and a blonde haired girl came storming out. "Alexia shut up, we'll take as long as we want, just because you're in a hurry don't mean we gotta be okay!" She yelled.

"Yeah!" a second, less intelligent, voice yelled from inside of the room.

"Splitfire, I wouldn't be so edgy if I were you, take a look at the time." Alexia said with a smirk.

"Oh shit Maria, we really gotta go! Come on!" She exclaimed

"Renee!" said the second girl as she stepped out of the room trying to get her pants on. "Why didn't you say something earlier?" she whined

"Because I don't have a watch." She said through gritted teeth. "Okay, Eve do your stuff!" she said excitedly.

"Don't even act like we're best friends. Cause we aren't. We're enemies okay." Alexia said with an attitude.

"Fine." Renee said with disgust.

Alexia crouched down and put two fingers to the floor, Maria and Renee joined her to form a small triangle. "Three to Diagon Alley." She muttered to the floor and a burst of light came and just like that the three were gone.

Meanwhile……

"C'mon Harry let's enjoy the rest of the day, we've already got everything we need." Hermione's voice said.

"Alright, alright, calm down Hermione. I've never seen you so quick to have fun." Harry replied laughing.

"Wow! She's really excited isn't she?" Ron asked Harry under his breath.

"Guess so." He said.

They were just about to go into an ice cream shop when a burst of bright light appeared in the middle of the cobblestone street.

"Whoa!" Ron exclaimed shading his eyes.

Harry looked on in confusion and Hermione just rolled her eyes and headed toward the light which quickly disappeared exposing three unfamiliar girls.

"There, ya happy now?" Alexia said starting to walk away.

"Yes!" Maria yelled at her back defensively.

"Hey stop!" Hermione yelled toward Alexia "I need to talk to the three of you."

Alexia stopped and rolled her eyes in frustration then swirled around "What?"

"You three are the transfer students right?"

"Yes, what of it?"

"Dumbledore told me to greet you and to let you know that Hogwarts is happy to have you." Hermione said triumphantly.

"Great!" Alexia said sarcastically and again rolling her eyes she whipped around and began walking.

"I'm sorry for her rudeness. We accept your greetings and are happy to attend Hogwarts." Renee said glaring toward Alexia then looking at Hermione with a smile.

"Thank you." Hermione said "So which one of you is Maria and which is Renee? I am guessing that the other one was Alexia because she was in Serpent at your school which is similar to our Slytherin."

"I'm Maria Antonio, pleased to meet you." She said giggling.

"Yeah, and I'm Renee, Renee Splitfire." She said looking back at Harry and Ron who were just staring blankly at them.

"You mean the Renee Splitfire, famous Canadian air polo player?" Ron said suddenly going wide eyed.

"Yes." Renee said as if she dreaded the word famous.

"Hi I'm Ron, Ron, er, Ron Weasly." He said stuttering.

"Ah." Renee said uninterested " You," she said stepping toward Harry "You look familiar."

"I'm Harry Potter." He said half expecting her to be shocked.

"Oh, well maybe I was thinking of someone else." She said surprising everyone(except Maria.)

"You mean you never heard of Harry Potter?" Ron asked dumfounded.

"Uh, no." Renee replied confused.

"The boy who lived, almost defeated You-Know-Who?"

"Nope. And I don't know who."

"Good." Harry said with a hint of relief "Now I can tell someone about myself instead of them telling me."

"I know how you feel." Renee said looking at him sheepishly.

"Well enough talk, it's time to get to King's Cross station or we'll miss the train." Hermione said looking at her watch.

The group then headed for platform nine and three quarters. When they got there Hermione explained to the two new girls how to get through the barrier, they got through fine. To their amazement Alexia was already there.

"How'd you know how to get through the barrier?" Renee asked her.

"What barrier? Have you forgotten about my magic already Splitfire?" She replied smugly.

Renee just walked away with embarrassment and anger. The Hogwarts Express finally arrived and students began swarming onto it. "Hurry let's find some seats before there are no more!" Maria yelled suddenly and loudly making the group jump. Maria ran through the train until she came to an empty compartment "How about right here?" she said pointing with a smile.

"Okay." Renee said.

They took their seats in the sunny room and began exchanging their summer stories. Harry hadn't had much of a different summer but he wanted to tell what he had done anyway. Ron was excited to tell about how he spent his summer at his first air polo match, which explains why he knew Renee. Hermione didn't have anything specials to share. Maria and Renee had spent their summer training or playing a game of air polo. When the lunch trolley came around Maria bought a bunch of candies to share. And just when they began to have the most fun, Draco Malfoy shows up.

"So, you've managed to get two more friends haven't you Potter?" His cold voice said.

Maria stood up quickly "I'm sorry we didn't invite you, please try knocking." She said with a foe smile and slammed the door shut. Everyone started to laugh. The offended Malfoy threw the door open again, "How dare you! Who do you think you are? If my father…" He began.

"Oh, I don't care about your father." Maria spat "you and Alexia should just bug off with your damn fathers. Father this. Father that. I don't care!" She yelled. Everyone even Malfoy sat there in awe until the door, once again was shut, then the room exploded with laughter.

"Wow! That was…Different." Hermione said still laughing.

"That's how she handles everything." Said Renee.

By now it was dark outside and Hogwarts grounds were coming into view. When the train finally stopped they all gathered their things and headed toward the nearest exit. Hagrid was of coarse gathering 1st years to take across the lake, so they stopped to talk to him.

"Hey! Hagrid!" Harry hollered over the commotion "How are you?"

"Oh, Harry! I'm fine, how about yer?" He asked looking at the confused 1st years.

"Fine. We'll talk more later okay?"

"Fine wit me Harry."

They then got their ride to the castle and walked through the wide open doors, the entrance hall, and into the Great Hall. Everyone took their seats at their tables awaiting the sorting. The first years looked so innocent and scared.

"I almost want to laugh at the looks on their faces!" Hermione said "But I know what it is like to be in that position." Ron looked at her and smiled.

"Yeah those were the good ol' days."

Once the sorting was over Dumbledore stood to make his yearly announcement, when he came to the end he said "I would also like to introduce three new students who just transferred from an American school, Celestial Moon. Would you three please stand up?" And they did so. "Alexia Eve has joined our fifth year Slytherins while Maria Antonio, the brown haired girl, and Renee Splitfire, the blonde, have joined our fifth year Gryffindors.
