A/N: so I know that having people move to England from a different country is not original at all, but I think this story itself has potential, so reviews are welcome!

"I'll see you guys inside, McGonnagol wanted to talk to me before I went into the feast!" A red haired girl waved to her group of friends as she walked up the second flight of stairs while the others headed to the great hall.
"Ahh, perfect timing Miss Weasley." An older woman said, coming down the stair case. She wore a deep emerald cloak and had her usual scowl, but kindest could be seen in her eyes. "These two here are Kendrick and Elizabeth Travers."
Rose looked just behind McGonnagoll to see a tall, lanky blond boy who looked to be about her age, 17, and a shorter girl with purple hair who seemed to be a few years younger. "Hi, I'm Rose Weasley." She nodded.
"They are transfer students, just sorted into Gryffindor and will be seventh years." McGonagall continued. "Miss Weasley is head girl and in Gryffindor so she can assist you."
"Were are you two from?" She asked as she showed them to the great hall.
"Adelaide." They responded together with thick Australian accents.
"Oh?" She raised her eyebrows. "Can I ask why you moved here?"
"Our parents got transferred." The male said.
"They work for international relations." The female continued.
"They were going to try and wait a year so we can finish school."
"But we wanted to move to England anyway, so why not early?"
"Oh." Was all Rose could say. They had arrived in the great hall and sat at the table with red and gold colors.
"Who are you?" A black haired boy with green eyes asked them with a curious look.
"Santa Clause." They replied at the same time with a straight face. They quickly glanced at each other and their lips twitched slightly.
"You're Australian?" A blond boy asked.
"No, we're Santa." Elizabeth responded.
"Someone wants coal for Christmas." Kendrick said with a sing-song voice.
"I'm Alice, and I'd like a pony for Christmas." A brunette girl smirked at them.
"Oh I like her." He gave her a winning smile. "I'm Kendrick and this is Liz."
"The rude one's Albus and the dumb one's Scorpius." She pointed to the black haired and blond haired boy. "Sam is in the hospital wing, had a nasty little accident."
"So, Australian." Scorpius asked. "What do you think of the weather here?"
"It's weather." They said at the same time.
"Not too cold for you?" He asked.
"It's actually just like back home." Kendrick shrugged.
"Isn't it suppose to be really hot a sunny there?" Albus asked.
"What, you think everywhere in Australia is like that?" The girl raised an eyebrow. "Do you also think we grill shrimp on the barbie?"
"Liz." Her brother gave her a pointed look. "No, the part we come from is very similar."
"Why come to England then?" Alice asked. They explained about their parents.
"Well, I hate to be redundant, but why England?" Alice asked with a small laugh.
"Quidditch." They answered at the same time.
"We want to be beaters." Liz explained.
"And England has the best rookie recruitment." Kendrick finished.
"A lot of twins are beaters." Scorpius mused. "Look at Fred and Roxane, they graduated a few years ago, and the Ravenclaw fifth years Lorcan and Lysander."
"A lot of twins are beaters." Kendrick smirked. "But we aren't twins."
"We get that a lot." Liz laughed.
"But you guy act like twins." Rose spoke up. She had been watching them curiously.
"Well, we're Irish twins." Kendrick laughed. "And we've been best friends really."
"Irish twins?" Alice asked.
"It means they were born less than a year apart, right?" Scorpius asked.
"Yep, I'm ten months older to the day!" Liz smiled.
"So why is your hair purple?" Albus blurted out. He wasn't sure why he did it, but it had subconsciously been nagging at him.
"Why are you a nosey prick?" Liz asked with a pleasant smile.
"Liz." Kendrick sighed. "Sorry, she's actually a decent person once she deactivates her bitch mode."
"I dyed it because I felt like it." She rolled her eyes at her brother. "Friendly enough for you?"
"Charming." He dead panned. Alice and Scorpius laughed at their antics while Rose and Albus exchanged a look that clearly said this would be an interesting year.
The first years then came in and were sorted, the headmistress said a few words, and the feast began. They all ate and shared pleasantries, getting to know the people they'd be stuck.
They learned quickly that Rose and Scorpius were dating, both were extremely smart but just as friendly. Alice was a prankster at heart and was childhood friends with them, as was Sam. They learned Sam was a date devil but accident prone so he was in the hospital wing a lot. Kendrick was a jokester, easily making them all laugh. Albus was just as loud and funny, even making Liz laugh a few times. Liz seemed like she was a bit quiet and defensive, but had an easy smile.
"Well, I have to talk with Jake, he's the headboy and in Ravenclaw." Rose got up toward the end of the meal. "Scorpius is the senior Gyrffindor prefect and can show you to the dorms since the junior most prefects show the first years."
"See you in our room." Alice smiled. "I'll warn her about the queens."
"The queens?" Liz asked.
"The Drama Queens." Alice rolled her eyes. "Fake blond hair, tan, nails, the whole thing. They're awful."
"Sounds fun." Liz sighed as she took her hair out the short ponytail to re-adjust it. It came down to just below her jawline, before she put it back up again of course. they headed up the flights of stairs and Kendrick was breathing heavily.
"Why all these stairs?" He wheezed.
"We just live in this part of the castle." Alice shrugged. "Keeps us fit from all those meals."
"Oh come on baby." Liz scolded. "This is why I run faster than you."
"Shut up." He breathed as they finally got there.
"The password is 'bogart.'" Scorpius told them. "Ironic, being the house of bravery."
"Well I thought it was funny." The portrait huffed. It was a fat lady in elegant clothes. "Who are these two?"
"New meat." Alice smiled. "Australians who transferred."
"What?" She looked shocked. "People from that prison island?"
"Yeah, don't want to mess with us." Liz deadpanned.
"The last guy who did ran off crying." Kendrick laughed.
"Really?" Alice raised an eyebrow.
"Oh yeah, Liz doesn't deflate egos; she pops them, stomps on them, and buries it six feet under." Kendrick nodded as they walked through.
"Oh, she'll be able to handle the queens then." Albus snorted. "Anyway, we better get to bed. This might be our only chance at 8 hours of sleep until Christmas."
"Sounds good." Alice yawned as they headed up to their stair case. They dressed for bed and were putting their stuff away when two girls walked in giggling.
"Um, who the hell are you?" One of the girls asked.
"Santa Clause." Liz yawned.
"What is it with you and Santa Clause?" Alice asked with a laugh.
"He's a cool dude." Liz shrugged. "He brings you socks."
"Socks?" The other girl asked. "I always knew Australians were weird."
"I'm not Australian, I'm Swedish." She responded. "That's were my you shop is located."
"Really, I always thought it was in Canada." Alice deadpanned before falling into another fit of giggles.
"Look Longbottom, just because your father is a professor doesn't mean you're cool." The taller one snapped.
"Ouch, parent as a teacher?" Liz asked. "That sucks."
"That it does." Alice replied; she had learned to ignore them years ago. "Anyway, these lovely ladies are Candy and Paris."
"Of course they are." Liz snorted. "I'm Liz."
"What ever loser." Candy rolled her eyes. They simply put on their pajamas, not bothering to unpack and leaving their discarded clothes thrown about their side.
"Clean up drag queens." Rose scowled as she walked in.
"Shut up Weasley." Paris snapped back as she got in bed. Rose simply pointed her wand at the clothes and they disappeared.
"What did you do bitch?" Candy demanded.
"New trick." Rose smirked. "24 hour invisibility charm. Night."
"Fuck you." Paris screamed.
Rose simply sent up a shield to keep her from doing any spells back and went to sleep. None of them could help but think this would be an interesting year.
