Jeff smiled at his best friend, Nick, who as of late had gained a lot of weight, people started teasing him for being chubby. "We're going to be late to the Dungeons & Dragons club, Nicky!" Jeff whined as he dragged his best friend down the hall.

Suddenly the two grunted as fell on their buts. "Watch where your going metal mouth, fatty." A boy sneered at the two third graders as he reared back his fist to punch them. A hand caught his before his fist got anywhere.

"Hey apologize, now they didn't do anything!" A boy with red hair and brown streaks in it said. It was cold out so sue me! "What are you going to do, Conners?" The boy sneered at the redhead, who scoffed in response.

"Never ask that, McFry." The redhead said dryly, as he flipped the taller boy and pinned him to the ground as he sang My Dark Side.

People stared as he started dancing around. He pulled off his beanie and people started whispering about his hair. "That's right I dye my hair, MY parents try control everything in my life so it's the only real way rebel against them!" He called out as he stood on a trash can and started singing My Dark Side loudly. He gestured for Jeff & Nick to sing along with him. Jeff opened his mouth revealing his braces as he pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose.

"You're making a fool of yourself nobody cares about what your saying." A white-haired fifth grader said as he walked up to them. He looked younger than most 5th graders. "YOU!" Mark screamed as he lunged at him. "You ruined my big debut! We were going to rule this school like kings, eat like kings, now nothing!" Mark said depressed. "Please, you were making yourself look like a total moron. Everybody knows you dye your hair almost everyday, just to make yourself feel better about having no life at all." The snowy-haired boy said calmly.

Mark slipped off the trash can with a blush on his face, as he kicked the ground embarrassed at how he behaved just then. "Who are You?" Nick asked Mark. "Mark Conners, third grader, the dud over there is Nathan Mitchell, want to be friends?" Mark asked cheerfully as he held out a hand for Niff to take. "Sure, you seem cool!" Nick said as he shook hands with Mark as Jeff blushed as Mark kissed his hand gently. "Cute." He said earning a scowl from Nathan & Nick.

"Jeff S. Sterling & this is my best friend Nick Duval." Jeff said cheerfully as he pulled Mark & Nathan into a bear hug along with Nick, who sputtered a little from the force behind his hug. "Choking!" Mark said comically as he scratched at his throat. "Oh, sorry Shadow says that sometimes, too." Jeff said as he blushed in embarrassment. "Who's Shadow?" Nathan asked confusedly. "Our Dog." Logan said bluntly as he walked passed annoyed as usual.

"Your dog talks to you?" Nathan asked as he arched an eyebrow at the duo that was obviously totally nuts if they thought their dog talked to them. "You'll find out later now won't you?" Jeff asked cryptically as he dragged his best friend down the hall to the dungeon & dragon's club's room.

Later that day

Shadow barked happily as they came in the door. The yellow labberdoodle ran up to them and jumped on Nick and started licking his face like crazy. Suddenly Shadow vanished & his place a teenager laid as he wrapped his pale arms around his Masters waist. "Master Jeff, Master Nick! Your Home, I missed you both oh so much! Don't ever leave me alone again!" The shaggy black-haired teen exclaimed as he morphed back into a dog. "Shadow heel boy, calm down, you know we can't take you to school, normal boys & girls don't shapeshift into various animals at will, nor do they act more like a dog than a person." Nick said firmly to their pet as they stood up and dusted themselves off.

"Yeah, sorry Shads! But school here in California might be a bit much for you, considering you went to school 50 years ago." Jeff chided his oldest friend as he scratched his dog behind the ear causing him to start kicking the air in response. "Mark & Nathan already think were crazy people for thinking you talk to us." The blonde nine year-old said sadly as he ran a hand through his pale blonde hair.

The Next Morning

"NICK, JEFF!" Mark called out as ran over to his new friends table and sat down. He panted as Nathan sat down calmly and started eating his own food. "Look, We realized we shouldn't judge you about what you do in your free time, so if you say Shadow talks to you, then he does." Nathan surprised everyone by saying this passion-filled speech. "Totally!" Mark said as he started cramming food in his mouth. "So, We cool?" Nathan asked quietly worriedly. "Yeah, we's be cool as ice." Jeff said with an attempt at sounding like he belonged in the ghetto.

The other three boys started cracking up at this. "Oh god that was so funny, Jeff, you should make more jokes like that you'd be rich by the time you're in high school." Mark said happily, as he ate his breakfast. Ring Ring Ring!

Mark's right eye twitched as he pulled his cell phone out of his pocket. "Hello." He said calmly before his expression turned stony. "What do you mean you're in the Himalayan Mountain range, HEROSHI! You're supposed to be on break not working!" Mark yelled as he argued with his 29 year old older brother.

Author's Note: Heroshi is a secret agent for a top secret organization who strive for world peace as is Netsume who is Nathan's older sister. Both of them are the heir's their respective family's as well. The Sterling-Moon, Conners, Mitchells, & Duval family's are all american pureblood family's. The four family's date back to around the time of the founder's of Hogwart's were alive. Dalton functions like a normal boarding school for non-magical people but it also caters to wizards. They have wizards dorm together and non-magical people dorm together. All of the Warblers are in some way connected to the Wizarding World. Oh and white hair is a trait of the Mitchell's family while red hair is a trait of the Conners family. Blonde hair is a trait of the Sterling family & Brown hair is a trait of the Duval family.
