A/N: Hello, It's me again. Now the question is- will the trio be friends with Hermione Granger/Draco Malfoy/Neville Longbottom/ or not. Please review! I'm not posting the sorting in this chapter- or the next because currently it's Slytherin 1 and Ravenclaw 1.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of this except maybe sort parts of the plot and the whole other school thing. Although the game Hopplegosh Squash is my idea- so no stealing!
P.S. Answer to a reviewer's question- the quadruplets are more like two sets of twins- Harry and Camilla have black hair and green eyes, and Peony and Charles have red hair and brown eyes. Harry and Camilla are slightly paler and have no freckles.
Platform Nine-And-Three-Stupid
The trio quietly strolled down norm England, humming along with the birds. It wasn't a particularly humid day, but it was still quite warm. (Which would explain the cooling charm around Camilla.) Harry smiled contently at the nice weather. It was still quite early and not many norms were around.
"It's quite a nice day, is it not?" Oka smiled and looked around, the light summer breeze hitting her bangs lightly. Harry simply snorted.
"Says the girl who calls anytime before eight A.M an 'ungodly' hour?" Seriously, he doesn't understand that girl sometimes.
"It's eight-thirty, Harry." Oka retorted before skipping ahead. Harry smiled slightly and followed. Camilla was up ahead, looking past the grocers and post office. "Hey! Cammie, are you okay? You've been awfully quiet today…" Nyoka poked her best friend, who looked at her as if she was crazy. To be honest, she did have a few loose screws here and there.
"I'm fine. It's just… I'm having a moment of silence, I guess." She smiled sadly as a leaf fell into her open palm.
"For who?" Harry asked, voiced laced with concern. You must understand- Camilla wasn't ever this deep unless something bad/horrible/miserable happened.
"Camilla Potter, the girl who was always afraid of her own shadow, a little child who was miserable around every corner. Then she died, and Camilla Peverell was born. She was brave, happy, and carefree." Harry smiled at this.
"Well, I want to mourn Harry Potter. He was a pitiful little kid, never a moment of happiness, only a life full of neglect and heart breaking. He never wanted to face reality, but instead hid inside himself and let his soul get eaten away until he finally got enough and followed his crazy sister into a new life." Camilla mock-growled at the last part but ended up smiling. Nyoka smiled too, happy that her friends turned out to be this way.
"I don't really have anyone to mourn, except my mum. She was brave, courageous, and fought all the way to the end- she died a true hero. Nyoka didn't realize it, but teardrops were fighting out of her blue eyes.
"Well, we're here for you now, just like you were there for us. We're family." Harry replied before pulling his sister and Oka into a group hug.
After all, they were family.
And that just left the guy who worked at the post office wondering the heck was going on.
…
"Run through a wall? This is just stupid! How could nobody tell us this in the letter? Do they want to leave the muggle-borns behind or something! Imbecilic!" Camilla hissed, throwing her hands in the air, frustrated. Oka was looking grim and Harry slightly irked.
"I know right, this is just stupid, and frankly, quite scary." Mumbled Oka, observing the wall between the two barriers at King Cross.
"Says the girl who lunged headfirst at a freaking Nundu with only a dagger?" Camilla asked, raising her eyebrow.
"That was different!" Nyoka protested, placing her hand on the wall carefully.
"So you're afraid of a wall, and not a Nundu?" Harry asked cheekily, only to be pinched by an enraged Oka.
"Well, if you put it that way, obviously!" She snarled, getting weird looks from both Camilla and Harry. She took a deep breath and charged into the wall, eyes shut. Camilla sighed and mumbled something that suspiciously sounded like 'That blithering idiot' before following with Harry just on her heels.
Suddenly, a bright red and black train appeared out of sight, but none of them could see much due to the mobs of fanatic reporters. Up front was the Potter family, looking around as if they were more superior to anyone. Camilla had to hold in a loud snort and Harry barely managed to not laugh outright at the grinning and smirking Potter-fools. Oka just raised a delicate eyebrow and led her friends on to the train.
"Okay, I'm beginning to hate wizarding Britain…" Oka grumbled, looking behind her shoulder, only to see frantic reporters with flashes of the wizarding cameras.
"Yeah, Britain isn't really a good wizarding environment…" Camilla remarked dryly as she lead them into an empty compartment. She took out her minimized trunk (That was green with clover designs) and transfigured it back to its normal size before she tapped the two silver buckles and watched as they glowed. Slowly, as if carved onto the trunk, letters started to appear.
Password?
The writing was curly and it too, glowed. Camilla hesitantly whispered something and watch the letters fade into something else.

Camilla tapped the glowing letter 'books' before yet again they faded into something else.

Again she tapped 'magical'.
"Wow. Is that the newest iSearch Trunk?" Camilla nodded, as Oka looked over her shoulder in genuine interest.
"Yup. I got it for her on our birthday." Harry smiled proudly at his sister. "Funny how she also got me the same thing." Camilla smiled before looking back on the top of the trunk.

Stories
Camilla continued selecting until she finally found the one she wanted.
Chimaera Luck, By Mildred Wilson
Again, the silver buckles glowed and the lock opened. Inside was the book Camilla had wanted, and started reading. Time flew by as the trio read books and played games. Just as Harry won the latest game of Hopplegosh squash, the trolley lady came in.
"Eh, I'll take some chocolate frogs." Camilla said before paying and picking up five chocolate frogs from the trolley. Oka and Harry looked slightly disappointed before picking up a cauldron cake and a pumpkin pasty.
"I can't believe it- any chocolate coins?" Camilla grumbled before chewing on a chocolate frog. "Britain is further behind than I thought." Chocolate coins were the trio's favorite wizarding sweet. It was actually a normal sweet, but chocolate Knuts, sickles, and galleons. The Knuts were dark chocolate with raspberry centers, while the sickles were milk and lemon chocolate. The galleon was caramel and cherry. While Harry liked the Knuts, Oka liked the galleon and Camilla favored the sickle.
They had remembered to bring a bunch of sweets and games, but it would barely be enough. Ophelia and Ash better send them something! Again, Camilla opened 'other's and selected candy and soon enough the three of them were happily eating their favorite treats again.
Soon enough, Oka and Harry decided to go back to playing Hopplegosh squash, a popular wizarding game in America. It usually evolves two players and a stack of cards. On there were spells and their statistics. Usually ranging from dark to light, powerful to weak, simple to difficult or even useful to useless. Both players must pick a card and see the card battle with the other using spell written on them, and the winner keeps both cards. Whoever has the most cards win? It was highly entertaining; especially the transfiguration ones- there would be miniature versions of whatever they wanted to turn them into. Overall, it was one of the best games ever.
Camilla smiled as Harry won the game AGAIN. She went back to her trunk and took out another book.
The Legend of Victor's Crown
During the last days of the Victoria Era, a rumor had spread among them. Someone had created a magical crown, a mere child, no less. It was said that the crown was to give the wearer an infinity amount of luck, being injected with Felix Felicis.
Naturally, many thieves attempted to steal it, but Victor, the child, always wore it and the thieves always fell to unlucky fates of death or something equally as Vile. Unfortunately for Victor, luck got the best of him, and gave him a rather greedy heart. Felix, the soul of the lucky potion couldn't take it anymore and gave Victor a rather horrible luck and fate.
One he found out, Victor disposed of the crown but the bad luck stayed until he soon died. To this day, not one soul had seen the famous 'Victor's Crown', but it was said that only one with pure of soul can use the crown. Many believe that Felix himself drove Victor into the state of greed, saying the crown was to blemish and destroy the purest of hearts into withering black hatred.
"That's a interesting story, Cam." Harry said, peeking over his sister's shoulder. Cammie jumped in surprise but didn't show any other reaction.
"I know. I wonder where is it now? I think it's rather like Rowena's Diadem…" Cammie said thoughtfully, closing the book and putting it back into her trunk.
"Ooh, the story of Victor's Crown? Suki told it to my when I was four- I think it's rather sad, because Victor wasn't always greedy…"
"So, technically the crown is evil?" Cammie questioned curiously.
"No, I guess not. You need greed to want something like this in the first place." Harry said, chewing on a chocolate Knut.
"But, greed is normal. Who would have such a pure heart anyway? You must already be really rich and happy." Oka added, picking at her now orange hair.
"I know, but with good luck all the time, it's hard not to turn evil…" Cammie said reluctantly. The debate went on, and on, and they barely realized the train was getting near to Hogwarts. Camilla quickly did the same thing with her trunk again.
"Why can't you just teleport it into the air in front of you?" Oka asked, looking confused.
"It's charmed not too. And it's actually pretty fast. I'm done." Indeed she was. Cammie minimized her trunk again and followed Harry (Who finished who knows how long ago) and quickly stepped out of the train. The cool yet musty air greeted Camilla as she stepped down the platform. The wind rustled the trees merciless, creating the sound Camilla loved to hear- the sound that gestured autumn was coming. She saw the thestrals by the end of the forest as she followed a half-giant to a bunch of boats.
Flashback
"No, no! Stop! Please-don't! I'll be fine!" Ophelia cried as a giant land-squid grabbed her with its scaly tentacles. Billy ran up to it with a sword but was thrown back against a tree trunk, the back of his head bleeding. The wands were all trapped in an energy field that kept throwing people back.
"Reducto!" Harry screamed, and a red flash shot out of his hand. They were still early in their training and their power was running on low. Ophelia gasped as Harry went unconscious from the overuse of power. The squid let out an angered cry as it wailed about, Ophelia desperately trying to pry herself away. Suddenly, Megan, the little orphaned girl they found trapped with the squid in the first place ran up to the squid and held up an explosion rune, but unfortunately she got caught up in the explosion herself.
Oka and Camilla got free of the hordes of Cornish pixies and went to free Ophelia from the remainder of the squid. That was the first time they saw someone get killed, and all of them were traumatized for weeks, Camilla especially because she couldn't meditate to get rid of the fear.
End of Flashback
"Hey, Cam. You okay?" Harry put a hand on his sister's shoulder and watched her sigh.
"Yeah. I guess. It's just- b-bad memories, y-you knows?" She took a deep breath before joining them in a boat with another first-year holding a toad nervously.
A/N: I know, Lame. Nothing really happening in this chapter, but I need more reviews on where the twins should go! I personally think Slytherin, but I'm not actually sure.
