A/N: Hello dear readers. I seem to have a lot of creative juices for this story so I shall update once again. Yay. Um…I don't think I have a lot to say. If you're reading my Batman fanfic, I'm sorry for not updating more often. I seem to be losing my edge on that one, but I will update that one sometime this week. Anyways, on with the story.

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter books or movies. I don't own characters or actors. I do not own real estate in the magical world. I do, however, own my OCs (Lydian, Lia, Adina, Moxie, Caelan, Noctis, and a few more that will be introduced later in the story). Please don't take them.

Chapter 4: Noctver

"Adina! Caelan! Get your butts out of bed," Angelina Johnson exclaimed.

"No thanks," Caelan replied.

"Ditto," said Adina.

"It's your grave when you're late to class," Angelina muttered.

"Bring flowers to the funeral please!" Caelan called as Angelina left the room. With a great sigh, she sat up and got out of bed. She pulled on her uniform and turned around to see Adina at the door waiting for her.

"You're really slow in the morning," Adina commented dryly.

"How do you do that? Nevermind, let's go." Caelan and Adina walked down to the common room where Caelan's older brother was talking to Bill Weasley. Aiden Green and his sister looked very alike. Many people joked about how they were twins six years apart. Aiden was an inch or two taller than Caelan and he had short brown hair with blazing blue eyes. He was pretty buff which added to his charm (or so the rumor went). Aiden saw his sister and nodded at her. "Hey bro," Caelan said, walking up to him.

"Hey," Aidan replied. He gestured to Bill, "Girls, this is Bill Weasley. Bill, this is my sister Caelan and her friend Adina. I still can't believe you made a friend."

"I made five friends, thank you very much," said Caelan.

"Wow, aren't you Miss Popular?" Aiden said sarcastically.

"Be glad those are just her friends and you only have one sibling," said Bill.

"What do you mean?" asked Adina. "How many siblings do you have?"

"I'm the oldest of seven," said Bill.

Two red headed boys appeared next to Bill, sandwiching him in-between them. "Bill doesn't like admitting that he loves us," said the boy on Bill's left.

"He thinks he's cooler than us for some reason," said the boy on Bill's right.

"Of course we know—"

"That we're his favorites."

"If you two are my favorites, then I'm not a ginger," said Bill.

"Why else would you look after us so much if we weren't your favorites?"

"Because you get into the most trouble and mum asked me to look after you. I can't believe you already have detention." Bill crossed his arms and rolled his eyes at his brothers.

"Filch is out to get us."

"We only played a little joke on him."

"You turned Mrs. Norris pink!"

"We know. It wasn't our usual stuff. We were actually trying to make her red."

"I'm confused," said Caelan. She looked at the twins. "Who are you?"

"He's Fred," said the boy on the right, pointing to the other boy.

"He's George," said the boy on the left, pointing back.

"Of course there has been some debate about that."

"Since people have a hard time telling us apart."

"Especially our mum."

"Which is disturbing."

"Because she is our mum."

"And really should be able to tell us apart."

"You two make my head hurt," said Caelan. She turned to Adina. "I want food." Adina could only nod and they linked arms and walked away.

"Nice meeting you," the twins called after them. Caelan and Adina laughed, but kept walking to the great hall. Today, it was the Ravenclaw table that had the honor of hosting them. Sure enough, when Caelan and Adina looked at the Ravenclaw table they saw Moxie, Noctis, Lydian, and Lia waiting for them. Lydian was reading and eating while Lia was ranting to Moxie and Noctis about quidditch. Caelan and Adina joined the table and grabbed food.

"How is life?" asked Adina.

"It could be better," said Lia.

"She's upset that Noctis and Moxie aren't as interested in quidditch as she is," Lydian explained without looking up from her book.

"How do you keep up with conversations and read at the same time?" Lia exclaimed.

"I admit that I read much slower when I talk, but other than that the reason is simple. I'm magical," said Lydian.

"We're all magical. That's why we're all at this school," said Lia.

"Fine, I'm better at multi-tasking," said Lydian.

"You're disturbing."

"You're mother thinks the same thing about you."

"A mama joke? Really?"

"You left the door wide open for it."

"I don't understand what quidditch is," said Moxie, hoping to interfere with the banter she found a bit annoying. Her wish was granted. Lia whipped her head to face Moxie.

"Quidditch is one of the greatest sports in the wizardry world. It's a simple game. All the players are on brooms and try to get the ball, called a quaffle, into one of the three hoops guarded by a keeper while trying to avoid bludgers which try to knock people off of their brooms," explained Lia. "The team that wins is the one who catches the golden snitch which also adds an additional 150 points to the final score."

"So it's kind of like football?" asked Moxie, meaning the sport that Americans know as soccer.

"Yeah," said Lia.

"What's football?" asked Noctis. Caelan looked confused as well.

"How do you not know what football is?" asked Moxie.

"I'm a pureblood. I don't really know much about Muggles," said Noctis.

"Same for me," said Caelan.

"I didn't know you guys were purebloods," said Moxie.

"Well, it's not like it's a big deal," said Caelan.

"Yeah, we don't put a lot of importance into it," added Noctis.

"What about you guys?" asked Moxie.

"Half-blood," the three replied.

"Which means what?"

"We're like the translators between purebloods and muggle-borns," said Adina.

"Crap!" Lydian exclaimed. Her friends looked at her in alarm.

"What?" They all asked her frantically.

"It's nothing. I forgot one of my books for class today. Man, I don't want to go all the way back to the house. Oh well. I have to go get it. I'll see you in class," said Lydian.

"Bye, darling," said Lia. With a final wave, Lydian left.

"You know, we probably should go to class," said Moxie.

"It's too early!" Lia complained.

"Cheer up, we have Flying today!" said Adina.

Lia's face lit up like a Christmas tree, "Oh yeah! I totally forgot!"

"What a surprise," Moxie said sarcastically. Lia rolled her eyes and stuck her tongue out at Moxie. "I don't want to go. I'm perfectly happy keeping my feet on the ground."

"We've all got that together," said Caelan. "It should be fun."

"Here's hoping," said Noctis. "Well, I think it's time to go to class. See you guys later." Everyone said their good-byes and walked to their classes. The day dragged by as Caelan was waiting for Flying. She was excited for it and wanted it to come right now. Aiden took her flying on his broom once and it was amazing with the wind running through her hair and the feeling of complete freedom. Finally it was time for Flying. All of the first years from each house met outside in a wide open space meant for the lesson. It was taught by Madam Hooch who reminded Caelan of Professor McGonagall. They both seemed like women who would kick your butt if you crossed the line.

"Alright, enough tom foolery," announced Madam Hooch. Everyone was immediately still and silent, waiting for her instructions. "Well? What are you waiting for? Step up to the left side of your broom." Everyone did so hurriedly and turned to look at Madam Hooch. "Alright, I want you to place your right hand over the broom and say 'up.' It may take you a few tries." The air was full of 11 year olds saying the word 'up' frantically to be the one to gain bragging rights to being the first to get the broom in his or her hand. Caelan looked over at Lia who got her broom up on the first try.

"Up," Caelan commanded. The broom moved, but didn't come to her hand. "Up." This time the broom came up. Caelan grinned at looked at her friends. Lydian and Adina needed a few tries, but eventually their brooms were in their hands. Noctis had her broom shortly after them, but Moxie was having a bit of trouble. She wasn't thrilled to be there. Finally, she got it (though she was one of the last ones to do it). Everyone looked at Madam Hooch again and was surprised when Oliver Wood came up to her. Oliver was in Caelan's house and she knew he was a bigger quidditch fan that Lia (which was a huge surprise).

"Sorry I'm late, Madam Hooch. Professor Snape wanted to talk to me," said Oliver.

"Well, you've got good time Wood. We're just about to hover. Alright, class, I want you to mount your brooms, hover, and land back on the ground on my whistle. Ready?" Madam Hooch said. Everyone mounted their brooms and waited. She pulled out the whistle and blew, it's shrill call going to all of their ears. The class began to raise at different heights. Caelan, Adina, Lia, and Lydian were following Madam Hooch's orders perfectly. Moxie was very close to ground while Noctis continued to climb higher and higher and she was not happy about it. Noctis let out a squeal while everyone else landed back on the ground so they could look at her. "Miss Todd, lower yourself!" Madam Hooch ordered. Noctis looked at the ground and everyone else, terrified.

"DON'T YOU THINK I'M TRYING TO?" she screamed. Her broom gave a lurch and Noctis held on to it even tighter, her knuckles turning white. Her friends stared up at her, terrified for her. Oliver ran over and looked up at Noctis.

"Noctis! Focus!" he shouted up to her.

She glared at him and her broom lurched again, causing her to lose her grip and fall off her room. She yelled as the ground came closer, but she stopped as Wood caught her.

"Gotcha," he told her with a smile.

Her arms tightened around his neck, "I refuse to go on a broom again!"

"Now, now, Miss Todd, don't be dramatic," said Madam Hooch.

"Dramatic? DRAMATIC! I could've broken something! I could've died and you think I'm being dramatic!" Noctis began to hyperventilate.

"NOCTIS!" Oliver yelled.

"WHAT?"

"I wasn't going to let you get hurt," he said quietly to her.

Caelan noticed the look that Lydian and Lia shared with their raised eyebrows and knowing smirks. Then they met Caelan's eyes they all shared the look.

"Madam Hooch, may I take Noctis to see Madam Pomfrey? She's very shaken," said Oliver.

"Yes," said Madam Hooch. "Thanks Wood." Oliver nodded and carried Noctis to Madam Pomfrey. Everyone began talking excitedly about what happened. Many of the girls giggled and pointed at Noctis and Oliver, whispering to each other. "Alright, the lesson is done for today since you can't focus any more. Go to dinner." The class left the brooms on the ground and walked to dinner. Lydian, Lia, Caelan, Adina, and Moxie all met up with each other.

"My oh my, how interesting things turned out to be today," said Lydian.

"Oliver Wood seems to be quite the hero," said Lia.

"Or Noctis' hero," said Caelan. The girls laughed and linked arms except for Moxie who didn't like doing that sort of thing.

"Do you guys think that she likes him and is just in denial about it?" asked Adina.

"Yes," said Lia and Caelan.

"No," said Moxie.

"Who knows with her? But we should not tell her that we think these things because I do know that she will come after us in our sleep and kill us," said Lydian.

"How do you come up with these things?" Caelan exclaimed.

"I'm a 'glass is half full' type of person," said Lydian. They reached the great hall and went to the Hufflepuff table, grabbing dinner and waiting for Noctis. They didn't have to wait long. Oliver had walked her to the great hall (Noctis walking as well) and he escorted her to the table.

"Are you sure you're alright?" he asked her.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm small, but mighty," said Noctis.

He smiled and nodded, "Alright, see you later." Oliver turned to the rest of the girls, "Bye ladies."

"Bye Oliver!" they called after him. He walked away and Noctis sat down between Lydian and Caelan. The girls shared a look and Noctis noticed again.

"I do not love Wood!" she exclaimed.

"Of course not," said Lia.

"Why would you?" asked Lydian.

"He only saved you from getting hurt or being killed," said Caelan.

"Carried you to the hospital," said Adina.

"He's just a gentleman, guys. It doesn't mean anything," said Moxie.

"Thank you!" Noctis exclaimed gratefully.

The girls shared a look again, but said nothing. Eventually, they had to go to their houses and Caelan and Adina were up talking. "You know, I think Noctis and Oliver would be adorable together," said Caelan. "She's so small compared to him!"

"We should come up with a name for them! What about…Nover…or Olis…or Noctver!" said Adina.

"'Noctver?'"

"Yeah, why not?

"I like it. Noctver they shall be."

"Bloody brilliance."

"You know, Noctis would kill us if she found out we did this," Caelan said thoughtfully after a moment, getting settled in bed.

Adina climbed into her own bed and grinned, "That's why it's so much fun."
