A/N: Hello again! I am very surprised that the next chapter is out so soon. If you read my last story, you would be too. But I am glad to tell you that it is summer for me and I don't have anything very pressing to do, except pack for college. But that won't be too hard.
FreakyD: thank you for reviewing!! You will find out in the next chapter (if you don't figure it out by the end of this one)… I think… just remember that I said this story has almost no point… thank you again.

Harry Potter and the Crazy Transfer Students
(Ch. 1)

"Ouch!!"
"Ian, we've been here for three days and you can't remember to skip that step?" Aaron laughed as he helped his friend out of the trick step in the Entrance Hall.
"Hey! You can only expect me to remember a few things at a time! Man!" Ian smiled in a way that said 'whatever"
Ian Trent was 6'2"; he had dirty blond hair that fell in somewhat unkempt waves to his shoulders. He was eighteen and a junior at CAAM. Ian was a 'go with the flow' kind of guy and acted like nothing was really bad in his life. Ian had no real plans for after school.
Aaron Dario was two inches taller than Ian; he had short brown hair and was nineteen. Aaron had already graduated; he was using this trip as a type of internship. He wasn't sure f he wanted to teach or do something different.
"Let's just get to breakfast…" Kaylie mumbled, pushing her boyfriend down the stairs.
"Coffee…" Janessa mumbled, zombie-like.
The guys laughed ad followed Janessa and Kaylie to the Great Hall. It only took two pots of coffee each to turn Kaylie and Janessa into intelligent beings.
"Where's Rachael?" Ian asked around a mouthful of eggs.
"We've decided to let her sleep. You know how she is, once we've been sorted she'll be so stoked that she won't sleep tonight and won't be ready for classes tomorrow." Janessa rolled her eyes.
"You guys ready?" Tonks walked up to the small table in the center of the Great Hall. The house tables would be conjured in later in the day.
"To what? Go through another year of school? Or to—"
"Just everything. This year's going to be really different." Tonks cut off Janessa's sarcastic reply.
"Good Morning!!!! What's for breakfast today? Gee I'm starved!" everyone at the table just stared at Rachael as she bounced into the Great Hall.
"Whoa! Did you cast an energy spell this morning?" Ian asked the unusually chipper girl. Rachael usually didn't wake up before lunch when she wasn't forced to. And the she wasn't the best person to be around.
"For your information, yes." Rachael stuffed a piece of toast in her mouth as she prepared a cup of coffee.
"Rachael! You idiot! You know the repercussions of that spell!" Kaylie looked at Rachael like the girl had lost her mind. "If you crash during dinner tonight, I will remove that spell from your memory."
Janessa looked over her cup of Joe and said, "If you crash at any time between now and lights out, I will remove that spell."
"Ten Sickles says she'll crash before the banquet tonight." Tonks leaned into the two boys.
"Ten says she'll crash during." Aaron slapped Tonks' palm to seal the bet.
"Ten says she got the spell wrong and won't sleep for a week." Ian whispered to Tonks before slapping her hand.
"Well we'd better be getting ready to move. We're getting Sorted tonight!!!" Rachael bounced out of the room, her voice bursting with excitement.
"On second thought…" Janessa raised her wand; "She really doesn't need that spell for the next few months."

"Ahhh! The old Hogwarts Express!" Ron looked over the train with something akin to love.
"Getting a bit sentimental, Mate?" Harry asked as he lugged his trunk onto the platform.
"You would feel indebted to this train, too, if it got you away from that!" He gestured towards the scene his mom was making, crying all over Ginny. Somehow Hermione had gotten ensnared in Mrs. Weasley's grasp as well.
"Let's just get a compartment before they are all full." Harry went off carrying his and Ginny's trunk.
Ron followed, grumbling about having to take Hermione's trunk just because his mom was wailing all over the girl.
A little later, Ginny and Hermione found them in the last compartment. Both girls looked bedraggled and more than a bit wet.
"I think Mum's getting Empty Nest Syndrome." Ginny grumbled as she righted herself.
"Well, after this year, you'll be the only one left in the house…" Harry replied and patted the seat next to him.
"Oh, God!" Ginny paled at the thought and took the seat.
The rest of the trip to Hogwarts was pretty uneventful. Except for a brief interlude with Draco and his cronies. It ended with Draco retreating with a tail, literally, between his legs, courtesy of Ginny.

"Welcome! Welcome to another year at Hogwarts!" Professor Dumbledore smiled from his podium at the front of the Great Hall. "I'm sure you've all noticed the change in teachers already. I am happy to introduce our new Flying Instructor and Quiddich Referee, Professor Victor Krum!"
"Holy shit!!" Ron whispered to Harry, "I can't believe He's our new Quiddich Ref.!!!"
"Madam Hooch decided to retire after last year's excitement in the First Year flying class." Many Second Years blushed and ducked their heads. "Our Defense Against the Dark Arts class will be taught jointly by Miss Nimphadora Tonks and Mr. Remus Lupin." Cheers went up around the room at the naming of Lupin, especially from the Gryffindor table.
"And last but not least, we will be offering a new class to any student Fifth Year and older. It is called 'American Magic and Elemental Defenses' and will be taught by our new transfer students." Dumbledore raise his voice over the whispers, "I believe that your new classmates/teachers have a small presentation to generate interest. Please give them you attention."
"For ages, the common wizard and witch have used the earth to help them with their spells." Janessa's voice floated around the hall, barley above a whisper but herd by everyone in the Great Hall. The ground of the Great Hall trembled slightly. "Harvesting herbs form Her pastures and forests, forcing Her face to their will." Kaylie stepped out of a patch of huge Marigolds that sprouted in the center of the room. Aaron followed her, only he melted out of the granite floor. They stepped up the Teacher's Dias together and looked out on the amazed faces of the students.
"Air, the element that make's human existence possible." Mini Tornadoes dashed around the tables in front of the students. "As beautiful and essential as it is deadly" The tornadoes all went to the center of the room where it ripped up the marigolds. Janessa smiled as she stepped out of the center of the tornado. Waiting until it disappeared, taking the marigolds with it, before she made her way to the dais.
"Fire, the element that gives us warmth in the cold, light in darkness." Every candle in the Great Hall turned into a blazing inferno. "It burns and heals at eh same time in it's own way." Ian appeared in a swirl of fire and all the candles went back to their original state.
"Finally, water. Beautiful, abundant, and deadly." A rainbow stretched along the length of the Great Hall before it twisted into a small hurricane, complete with lightning and rain. But before the rain hit the students in their house tables and where the first years were waiting to be sorted, it turned into a flurry of snow and settled as a liquid in various goblets around the room. "Creator of life. It is cherished by some and feared by others." Rachael stepped out of a waterfall that had manifested itself, once again, in the center of the hall. She turned and bowed to the group of students before gliding over to the dais.
"Showoff!" Kaylie poked Rachael in the ribs.
"Without each we could not do magic or even live. Each element has it's own set of secrets that can be unlocked with the right knowledge, and skill. We hope that you will let us teach you how to work with what is around you. Thank you for inviting us into your school." All five said the last few sentences together.
"You can sign up for the class on the message board at the back of the hall at the end of dinner!" Rachael said loudly and gave the room a large smile.
"And with that, students, let us begin the Sorting with our new Sixth and Seventy Years!" Professor Dumbledore spread his hands and McGonagall brought out the Sorting Hat.
"Dario, Aaron."
"Gryffindor!" the hat said after a brief pause. He went to the Gryffindor table amid deafening cheers.
"Gordian, Kaylie."
The hat barley touched Kaylie's head before it shouted, "Gryffindor." Which was followed by even louder cheers.
"Isis, Rachael."
'Well, you truly are a contradiction!' the hat sat on Rachael's head. 'You would do well wherever I put you. So the question is, where do you want to go?'
'The Griffindor's seem nice…' Rachael told the hat.
"Gryffindor, then."
Rachael went to sit with Kaylie and Aaron.
"Wardson, Janessa."
Once again the hat barely touched her head before it called, "Slytheryn!"
The Slytheryns hissed and cheered as Janessa went to their table.
"Trent, Ian."
The hat took a good two minutes sorting through Ian's 'I don't care's' and 'whatever you want's' before getting fed up and sticking him in Slytheryn.
The rest of the night, all attention was in the five new student at the Gryffindor and Slytheryn tables. No one even paid attention to the rest of the sorting.
