Ok. There's a change. Minervarette will end up helping Minerva when school starts.

I'm so happy that you all like this, especially those in the story. Look out for another fic like mine soon as well. I'm in that one and am curious to see how I am portrayed. *nudge nudge*

So, review responses are at the bottom. Have fun

oh yeah, and Filius Flitwick's first name belongs to someone else...I can't remeber who so tell me if it's yours.

Minervarette opened her eyes to the top of a oak bunk bed.

Above her was Aeryn, snoring softly. To the left, right, and in front

of her were other nice bunk beds with her friends in them. They must

have come in very quietly the night before. She wondered who was who.

" Minny, you up?" said Aeryn.

" yuppers. Whe do you think they'll be up?" Aeryn poked her head

below to meet Minervarette's eyes. She was grinning.

" Now." and with that she threw her pillow at the blonde to her left.

The girl made an eeek sound and nearly fell out of bed. The black

haired girl mumbled and rolled over.

" Go to sleep Karuri." Ah! so the blonde was Child of the Dawn.

Minervarette giggled. Karuri's eyes lit up at this, and she threw herself

onto Aeryn's bed, glomping her.

" Hiiiii!!!! We wondered where you two were!"

" Let me go...please!" Karuri let go and sat back to grin at her friend.

" Which one are you?"

" Aeryn. And that is Minervarette." Minervarette waved. By now all

of them had woken up.

" What is so damn im- hey!" Freelancer's red hair was all over her

face, but her smile was evident. Datsu, still trying to sleep, turned over

again.

" Get up Datsu." said Isis crossly," Aeryn and Minervarette are

here!" Datsu got up, gave a tired grin, and fell back to bed with a

'wazap'. Everyone laughed.

" Bright little ray of sunshine, eh?" said Inca. Everyone nodded.

Minervarette, suddenly gasping, stopped any more chit chat.

" What's wrong?" said Karuri. Aeryn rolled her eyes.

"Prof. Mcgonagall mentioned needing an assistant, so Minny

decided to help her instead. She's late right now. In fact, we all have

an hour before breakfast." Suddenly a growl like a lion tore through

the room. Freelancer and Inca's eyes were as big a dinner plates.

" Issss okie. Jus my stomac'" That proved to everyone that Datsu

was on her 'leave-me-the-hell-alone' days.

" See ya later Minny. I think we should find some new clothes before

breakfast, eh guys?"

" No worries. Madam Pomfry got us some plain uniforms. They're in

the trunk by the window." And with that Minervarette was gone.

************************************************************

Breakfast was at a small table in the center of the hall, as most

students were at home for the holiday. Only the teachers, Harry, and

suprisingly Bill and Oliver Wood. Karuri's eyes stayed a little too long

on Bill, and Inca's eyes stuck to Oliver.

' Woah....he's so hot...' was the simulanious thought.

" Goodmorning Ladies." said the headmaster cheerfully. they all

smiled and took seats with th other.

" I should introduce myself. I'm Bill Weasley, and this is Oliver

Wood." Oliver waved at them. Freelancer introduced them.

" You can call me Freelancer. The others are Karuri Lynn, Inca,

Minny (A/N: hope you don't mind the nickname Minervarette!), Isis,

Aeryn, and Datsu." Each fangirl nodded when thier name was called

out. After the plesantries were done, they dug in. The other teachers

were supprised that they didn't freak out when the food suddenly

appeared, and Snape, who had been silently lurking about,( actually,

I forgot him, so sorry Sevi!) took a great interest in his plate, rather

than Isis, who tried several times to chat with him.

"May I inquire what you world is like?" piped Filius Flitwick.

Datsu answered first.

" Normal. No Magic at all. And I'm sure of that." Flitwick,

however, had more questions.

" And, how dod you all meet? Where are youa all from?"

Aeryn took this one.

" Karuri and Freelancer are American. The rest of us

come from Europe. (A/N: I don't want to bore you, so I'm not going

to waste time checking who comes from where.)" And on and on it went

until Professor Mcgonagall got up.

" Girls, come with me. You all must begin you studies. We won't stop

working until dinner. Hurry now!" Dumbledore's eyes twinkled with

amusement and, Isis noticed, something else. She hid her smile when he

looked her way. She knew something he didn't.
