Disclaimer: Although it pains me to say it, I do not own Harry Potter or its characters, nor do I own J.K Rowling's brilliant mind, and that is probably why, this story will have you running away at the first sentence. If it doesn't, then thanks! At least, this story is holding some peoples attention. And so, without further ado, (because I won't be able to stop my rambling otherwise) on with the story! This also has some references to Avatar: The Last Airbender. Sadly, I don't own that either.

Oh, another note, I know, I know, why can't she just get on with it, my OCs in this story are elementals, and all elementals have a psychic link with each other.

And to make you all even more frustrated,

These are thoughts

These are flashbacks

This is writing as in their writing, not my writing. You get the point, also, change of PoV and time. Haha, am I annoying you yet? :)

Jacob's PoV

'"Bugger' she curses as she trips around the room searching for god knows what, what is it you're searching for? Ah yes, school supplies-and she's down, taking her kitten Spock with her, actually, why did you call your cat Spock? It's such a stupid name for a cat. I mean why not call it Fluffy, or Tabby, or another name like that? Hey, since when did you get from there to there? You fell again didn't you? Another show of her stupidity people! Oh, oh, now she's-"

"Shut up Jacob!" My best friend Ilaria or 'Ria, shouted at me, while laughing at the same time, I swear she can never be serious in any situation. She tries to be stern, but ends up as a giggling mess.

"What? It's not my fault you're such a klutz."

"Idiot" She retorts. Rather weakly, I might add.

"Is that the best you can do?" I mocked.

"Twat" Is her only verbal reply. She then proceeds to punch my arm, which would have been effective, if she hadn't of fallen over right afterwards. So, I burst out laughing.

"Not funny", she grumbles good naturedly, a smile playing on her lips. You see me and 'Ria have been best friends since kindergarten, when she decided that, instead of telling the play leader that I was being picked, she would kick the bully in the balls. When asked why she had done it, she replied that she had seen her mother do it once. We had been friends ever since, to the point of being siblings. We're still best friends now, even when we're in different houses at school, me in Gryffindor, and her in Slytherin. Both of us being muggleborns helped too. Naturally-

"Jake!" 'Ria shouts, abruptly pulling me from my thoughts. "Is there anybody in there?"

"Huh?" Was my coherent reply.

"I've been calling you for five minutes." She huffed. "Plus, I'm packed. So there." And finishes that childish jibe with a sticking out of the tongue.

"When did that happen?"

"When you were off in LaLa land." She states matter of factly. It was then that I noticed all of the vines, in my room…with clothes on them.

"You got the weeds to help you, didn't you?" I sighed.

"Jake, their plants, not weeds, and yes I did, but I was sort of hoping that you wouldn't notice."

"'Ria. How could I not notice?" I exclaimed in wonder. Sometimes, I don't think anything goes on in that head of hers.

Also, that's another thing we have in common. Our affinity with the elements. Ilaria is an earth elemental and that entails the control of the earth-plants, metal and the actual earth that we stand upon, you know the rocky stuff. I on the other hand, control a much cooler element. Fire. This means that I can create my own fire, and I can manipulate the fire around me. Cool huh? The only downside is, is that mine is weaker at night. But I can control lightening. And another thing. Since we are elementals, we have a mental connection with each other. This is true of all elementals. I think. We have yet to meet another one. But still, it's fun to weird that muggles out with our silent conversations. They just think we're mad. Anyway, due to our amazing powers 'Ria came up with a name for us. The most degrading name…The Amazing…Raspberry Smurfs. That name suggests we are short. Well. She's short, I'm not. Plus, I am not BLUE! Anyway, back to the current topic. Her using her powers to mess up my room.

"'Ria, you know that you can't use your powers like that." I scolded, while straightening up to my full 6'3". I thought it was quite intimidating.

"You do." She retorted.

"No I don't."

"You're the one who blew up my kitchen. QED"

And on that note, I make my exit. I wish. Instead I carried on the conversational argument. "Yeah, well, I'm older, and-"

"And still none the wiser" She oh so helpfully finished for me, grinning like a maniac.

"Thank you for your less than helpful input." I drawled.

"You're welcome!"

Sometimes, I can't wait for the 1st of September.

1st September, still Jacobs PoV

"JACOB!" Someone screamed in my ear. I shot up making the person topple off the bed, me following shortly afterwards, landing on said person who gave out a muffled 'ouch'.

"'Ria, what have I told you about waking me up like that?" She could be so stupid sometimes.

"You said not to do it." She groaned "But" She perked "I had a valid reason for it."

"And what reason was that?" I asked, irritably.

"It's 10am" She chirped. Would she just get to the point?

"And?" I prompted. I was not a morning person.

"It's the first of September" She said, now grinning like the Cheshire cat. So? I thought. It's only the…oh shit.

"Oh shit. Why didn't you say so?"

"I did." She laughed. I leapt out of bed and threw on some clothes. No time to have a shower. I ran down the stairs, dragging my trunk after me, dashed into the kitchen, to grab some breakfast. When I got there, I saw both my parents at the table, drinking coffee and reading the newspaper.

"What's the rush?" My father asked, politely. Too politely.

"Are you crazy? It's-"I looked at the clock to see that it was only 10 past 8. I. Am. Going. To. Kill. Her. My glare must have been pretty intense, because the person it was directed at visibly gulped. In my head, I laughed.

"Ilaria Threlezhai Dayton" I said in a low and what I hoped to be menacing voice. "Run now."

"Yes sir" She saluted cheekily before she took off at a sprint. I immediately followed after her. Catching up with her didn't take me too long as she kept tripping over, and so, grabbing her, I started tickling her.

"No!" She cried. "Have mercy!"

"Only when you say that I am amazing." I grinned.

"I am amazing" She managed to choke out. I increased my attack.

"Okay, okay! You are amazing!" She eventually gasped. I let her up. As soon as she was standing, she added "My ass." And once again, took off laughing. I just sat there, shaking my head.

"Jacob, Ilaria!" My mum called out. "It's time to go now" I sighed, picking myself up from the floor, and went to get my trunk. "'Ria!" I called up the stairs. "Come on, we got to go!"

"I'm already down, you idiot." She replied, matter-of-factly. Scratch that, she looked smug. No idea why. I sighed, but smiled at her all the same.

"Come on" I repeated, but in a quieter tone. Obviously. I started for the car, and 'Ria followed shortly afterwards.

40 agonising minutes of Ilaria later

After putting all of our luggage on the trolley (not the same trolley) we started making our way towards the wall that separated platforms 9 and 10. On the way there, we happened to bump into some of my friends, but sadly, none of 'Ria's, for the people that we happened to bump into were the marauders. Well, three of them. Don't know where the fourth one was. Now when I say that they are my friends and not 'Ria's, it's because we are in different houses, and it was a particular house that 'Ria was in that set her apart. She was in Slytherin. And nobody liked Slytherins. Well, 'Ria was an exception to that rule. But, what I found hilarious about the situation was that Ilaria had a crush on one of them.

"Hey Jake, are you still hanging around with it?" One of the marauders asked, well, sneered is the correct term. He had black, shoulder length, curly hair, and grey blue eyes, and apparently, every girl liked him. I didn't see anything special myself. His name is Sirius Black, and he is a Gryffindor.

"Hey Sirius" I replied dully. I looked at the other two marauders. James Potter, messy black hair, which never seemed to lie flat, and round glasses. He also was a 'heart throb'. Unfortunately for the female population of Hogwarts, James already had his eyes on a particular red head called Lily Evans. Who absolutely hates him. Sirius and James are also both on the quidditch team, Sirius a beater, and James a seeker. The other boy is Remus Lupin. This was the guy that 'Ria had a crush on. He's book smart, and is quite a nice bloke. Didn't bully anybody either. Unlike the other two.

"James, Remus" I acknowledged, nodding to them both. "Where's Peter?"

"Dunno." Sirius replied nonchalantly. "Now, back to what I was saying, why are you still hanging around the thing?" This was said in such a way that I just had to tell him to shut it. But surprisingly, 'Ria but into the conversation.

"I do have a name you know, I mean, how would you like it if I suddenly started calling you thing and it? Also, Jake's my friend, and always has been. So if you don't like, look or walk away. Nobody asked your opinion anyway." She snapped. "Sorry" She added. As an afterthought. I looked at her incredulously.

"We weren't talking to you." James snapped. 'Ria just responded by smiling.

"Why the hell did you apologise?"

"Um, because I didn't say a nice thing?" She stated, well more like questioned, but anyway. I sighed in desperation, looking up to the sky.

"Come on, let's just go and find a compartment." She nodded, and we ran through the wall, but just before we ran through, I swear I saw 'Ria waving bye to the marauders.

"How can you take it 'Ria? 6 years, and you still take all the shit they throw at you." I fumed.

"1. It's so much fun to see their reactions. I mean come on; even you have to find it funny." She looked at me, but after seeing my face, she quickly carried on. "Or not. 2. I don't want to be the stereotypical Slytherin, I like being unique, and 3. If I take crap from you, why not them?" She grinned at the last part, and before I had time to retaliate, she had run off, towards the train.

"Okay" I smiled, to myself.

Well, I hope you enjoyed that chapter because it may be a while before the next one comes, but I will post as soon as possible. And if anyone can guess what book title I have placed in this chapter, then you get a muffin, DaughterofZeusRules, you already know what it is so you don't count. Hint: Don't Panic

Please, Revieeeeeeeeeew! Or flame. What ever suits you more. :)
