As black took over the blue sky, Krys and the twins silently agreed to go and get changed. Most students had already gotten changed, but as she went to enter the female powder room a snicker caused her to turn around. Just exiting the male change area was a tall boy with blonde hair that appeared to be slicked back with kilos of gel. He saw her turn and he smirked as his eyes wandered over her figure.
'Well well,' He started, 'You're most definitely not from around these parts, are you?'
'Never would've guessed!' Krys replied in sarcastic shock. 'I fell asleep on my couch at home, then the next thing I knew I woke up on this train!'
That wiped the smirk off his face, 'That confirmed it,' he snarled at her 'What gives you the right to talk to me like that?'
'What gives you the right to continually gape at my body?'
His grey eyes locked with her blue ones, and the fury of the two seemed to make the staring last for some time.
'Malfoy! Leave her alone!' A voice interrupted, this caused Malfoy to break the look. Krys snickered at his loss and continued into the female room.

'What do you want Weasley?' he snapped at Fred, preparing to draw his wand
'Don't bother, you won't do anything to cause that much harm. Just stay away from her, alright?' And with that Fred shoved past him heading back towards the cabin.

Krys puzzled over who that boy was, she wanted to know more without making it obvious she was hunting for information. As she changed into the black school robes, the thought of the strange boy disappeared from her mind.

Upon returning to the cabin, she saw that Kopa had extended himself over the bench seat so she happily leaned against the doorframe, trying to adjust to the robes. Fred had returned to, but he was busying himself with a few important looking papers, so Krys kept the silence.

As the Hogwarts Express pulled into Hogsmeade, she placed a chain onto Kopa's collar and went to grab her trunk.
'No need to do that,' George advised her, 'They get taken up to the school for us. You could probably leave him here to,'
'I don't think that's a wise idea…' Krys said, 'Kopa is a little rough to handle.'
'Oh well that's fine, we'll take him to Hagrid. He'll take care of him until after the feast.'
'Feast?'
'Ahh... So much you don't know.' George smiled

A giant of a man stood on the platform calling for all of the first years to him. His silhouette jutted out against the night scenery. Krys' arm was suddenly taken up in a hold by Fred's and he started to lead her towards the giant.
'What are you doing!' She semi yelled at him, wanting to know what he was planning.
'I'm taking you to Hagrid, he'll take care of your Lion for you.'
'He's not a lion….'
'All the more reason to take him to Hagrid.'

He led Krys over to Hagrid, and as he saw the two approach he scolded Fred,
'I think this firs' year is able t' handle herself George!'
'Two things Hagrid, she isn't a first year, and I'm Fred.'
'Oh.' Hagrid shuffled on the spot, he then noticed the beast to their side. 'Oh wha' is that!' He beamed in the direction of Kopa.
'Hi, I'm Krys,' She introduced herself, and patting Kopa on the head 'And this here is Kopa. He's my cat, but he isn't a normal breed. I try to explain that, though many don't seem to understand.' Looking Hagrid in the eye, she continued 'Would you be able to take care of him until I am able to collect him?'
Hagrid broke a smile and chuckled 'Oh Happily Krys, he ain't scared o' water now is he? Cause he'll need t' travel in a boat f'r a bit.'
'So long as he isn't in the water itself, he's fine.' She held out the chain to give to Hagrid and he took it, Krys then leant down to give her over-sized housecat a hug.
'You be good now Kopa, ' She cooed into his pelt, 'Cause you know I'll hear about it!' A sort of meow escaped his lips, 'Mrow mrow to you to Kopa.'

Krys straightened herself and leaving her arm to be linked with Fred's, he showed her to the horseless carriages.
'Magic…' She whispered, when she saw some of the carriages taking off.
'Amazing isn't it?' George spoke, having reappeared with another boy. Dreadlocks framed his dark skin, he opened his mouth to speak 'Picking on the new girl already?'
'You know it!' Fred joked, as the four found an empty carriage. They all took a seat and they set off down the rickety path.

'So, who's your friend?' Lee asked Fred, breaking the silence. Before Fred could open his mouth, Krys swiftly answered 'I'm Krys, Fifth Year, Australian. That should cover the basics,' Fred and George laughed, replied 'I think that's the third time we've heard that today.'
Lee, who appeared to be overly curious about Krys' situation, kept bombarding her with questions about Australia, little things like 'What's a Canberra?', 'Do you guys really ride kangaroos?' and 'Are boomerangs used in self-defence?'
She had to refrain from using sarcasm; after all she didn't want to appear like a total bitch before she even got to the castle.

When they finally pulled up to the Hogwarts grounds, the Twins seemed to be as happy about the ride being over, as Krystal was.
