The New Year Begins
It was the early morning on September 1st and Harry and his friend Ron were getting ready to leave for Kings Cross station. His trunk was packed and Hedwig was in her cage. A red-headed girl around 15 entered the room.
"Hey guys!" she said.
"Hey Ginny," Harry replied.
"You ready to go?" she asked them.
"Yeah just give us a second; I need to ask Ron something, in private," he added, as Ginny seemed to look interested.
"Aw, man!" After Ginny had left the room, Harry turned to Ron.
"Um, Ron?" said Harry nervously.
"Yes?" Ron asked confused.
"I kind of like your sister," Harry said blushing slightly.
"I can't believe it, but if you like her I guess I'll have to live with it. After all, you're my best mate, nothing can tear us apart, not even girls."
"Thanks for understanding mate," Harry said thankfully.
There was a knock on the door. "You boys ready to go?" a woman said.
"Yes mum," Ron replied.
"Ok, let's get a move on then!" She said.
"Yes Mrs. Weasley" Harry said.
At the train station, the Weasleys and Harry managed to get to the platform 9 ¾, five minutes before it left.
"Ron, Harry." A teenage girl with mop brown hair that reached her waist, brown eyes, around the same age as Harry and Ron, and wearing the Hogwarts robes.
"Hey, Hermione!" Ron and Harry said in unison.
"Hey guys!" Hermione exclaimed.
"How was your summer Harry?" Hermione asked.
"Horrible as usual, Although Dudley had apologized for all the things he had done to me in the past. I NEVER expected that!" Harry answered.
"Whoa, seriously?" Ron asked shocked.
"Yeah I know, it was very unexpected," Harry said.
The train gave out a call that meant it was the final call for boarding.
"I guess we should start leaving now," Hermione suggested.
"Yeah but I would like to sit with Ginny also," Harry said blushing a bit.
"Ok, but first we need to get on the train, it's going to leave soon!" Hermione exclaimed before she hurried towards the train.
"Hey! Wait for use!" Ron shouted as he ran after Hermione to the train as well.
Before Harry boarded the train he spotted a man that appeared at least 20 years old. He was reading a magazine of some sort, and because of that Harry couldn't see the man's eyes, he wore camouflage shirt, pants, and boots, if you didn't know any better you'd say that he was heading for the army, but this was a train station for the magical, so that was a no.
The man looked up and Harry now can see his eyes, they where gray for the most part, but the thing that sort of startled Harry was the fact that the man had tattoos on both of his eye socket, the right was a star, and the left was a crescent moon, both where light sky blue.
The man wave a silent hello to Harry, and Harry nervously waved back.
Harry quickly remembered that he needed to get on the train, so he did.
ON THE TRAIN
As soon as Harry got on the train, Shade approached him. "Top o' da mornin' ta ya, 'Arry, ya got 'ere just in time," said Shade in his Irish ascent. "Most of da cabins are full, but da cabin 'as room fur one more person," Shade told Harry with an eerie smile.
"Thanks, but I promised Ron and Hermione that I would sit with them."
"Oh dats ok," Shade said bluntly.
"See you in school," said Harry politely.
"Same 'ere, bye," Shade said.
"Bye," Harry said kindly.
Somehow Harry had managed to find the cabin that Ron, Hermione and Ginny were sharing. "About time you got here! Where'd you go to?" Ron asked.
"I met up with Shade on my way over here," Harry said simply.
"Who's Shade?" Hermione asked.
"Oh, sorry, he's a half-dementor Irish kid, we met in Diagon Alley," Harry said.
"Half-dementor? Is that even possible? I've never read about anything of that sort ever happening!" Hermione exclaimed shocked.
"Well that's what the Forest family is about," a strange voice said. All four heads turned to the direction of the voice.
It belonged to a tall man that looked around 22 years old, he had light blue skin, dark blue eyes, moss green hair that reached his shoulder, wearing school robes, instead of ears, he had fins, and a light blue tail meant for swimming purposes.
"Who are you?" Ginny said trying not to stare at the strange man.
"The name's Storm Forest," the fish-man said with a smile.
"You're part of the Forest family as well?" Hermione said curiously.
"Yeah the hair color is a family trait," Storm replied with a kind smile as he ran his webbed fingers through his strangely colored hair.
"Wow, this family sure is different," Ron murmured without intending to let anyone else, especially Storm, to hear.
"What's that?" said a new voice that sounded more like a girls voice.
"What was what, Rain?" Storm moved into the cabin to reveal a girl that looked just like Storm, except that she looked 11 years old and a more serious face.
"I could've sworn I heard him say something rude," Rain said pointing at Ron, showing her webbed fingers.
"Rain, it's not polite to point." Storm said as he waved his webbed finger.
"You're not Genki," Rain said tunelessly.
"HOW MANY OF THESE FOREST PEOPLE ARE THERE!" Ron exclaimed suddenly.
"A lot," both Rain and Storm said together. Storm looked up.
"If you're arachnophobic don't look up." Storm said with a sad tone.
"Erm, a-a-a-a-a spider's here?" Ron stammered. Rain looked up.
"You shouldn't look up," Rain said to Ron not looking at him.
"Huh?" The other three looked up. All three of them had there mouth wide open when they saw what was on the ceiling.
