Chapter 9: Meetings, Trains, and a Sorting...
A month later...
"Okay she said the fourth pillar from the entrance." Harry stated as he walked to said pillar. "Vita." Harry stated as he looked at the red head.
"Heading in." Vita stated as she crossed through and blinked at the sight of the engine. ~It works.~ Vita thought spoke to the others and looked at the crowd at the station.
"Wouldn't they improve the train with the times?" Nanoha asked as she looked at the entire train. "But who am I to criticize." Nanoha stated as she rubbed the back of her head.
"So let's find some seats." Hayate stated as the others came through.
Meanwhile in another cabin...
"I know we are not on friendly terms, but I know of some people that would like to be friends with you." Draco stated to someone.
"Why not ask the goons your father wants you to?" the other person replied from some shadows, but the voice reveals it to be female.
"That's the point, I rather make a good impression then that of someone using their power." Draco stated making a slight insult to his father. "Anyways, that's why I came to you."
"Why me and not Pansy?" The girl asked as Draco had caught her attention.
"Again Pansy would make a scene, and I rather not ask any other first year girl, unless you think Susan Bones would like to." Draco replied.
"I see, so you want to make an impression that befalls good intentions, just to make them your friends?" The girl asked.
"Yeah, and with it you might have some powerful friends, from what I heard they all come from powerful families." Draco stated making the girl's eyes widen. "And I don't care if they have any other type of friend even a muggle born." making the girl laugh.
"You've changed Draco, I'll give you that. Sure I'll help you secure your friendship with them." the girl stated as she and Draco started to walk through the train.
Inside another cabin...
"So this is where you guys are." Hermione stated as she opened the door and moved in. "I never got your names before." Hermione stated as she sat down next to Harry, making Vita glare at her.
"Hayate Yagami." Hayate replied as she held Vita to the floor combing her hair.
"Fate Harlaown." Fate stated as she looked up from a book. "I want you to know that whoever wrote this book never knew him." Fate stated as she handed it to Hermione who blinked at it.
"Rise and Fall of Dark Lords, why do you say that?" Hermione asked as she looked mad.
"Simple, Harry never did anything to defeat the Dark Lord he's famous for beating." Fate stated calmly. "If anything the person who defeated said Dark Lord was his mother."
"I see... But I guess he's famous for surviving the curse." Hermione replied as she looked at Nanoha.
"Nanoha Takamachi." Nanoha stated as she looked bored, as she stared out the window. ~I want to fly!~
~Down Girl, you'll get your chance as soon as we get to the school.~ Yuuno stated back while Nanoha petted him.
"Vita Potter." Vita stated while still glaring at Hermione.
"Why are you glaring at me?" Hermione asked.
"I always glare." Vita stated before getting whacked on the head by a fan.
"Vita, be nice. Harry Potter." Harry stated making Hermione's eyes widen then looked at the others.
"I see... now I know how you knew that the information was false." Hermione stated downcast.
"None of that." Harry stated with a look of sadness in his eyes. "I can't stand a girl sadden by such a causal way." Harry stated as the door opened again and a red head looked in.
"Mind if a join in?" the red haired boy asked as he walked in regardless of answer. "Name's Ron Weasley."
"There's not enough room here." Harry stated as Hermione looked at Harry.
"Now Harry, he could sit like Vita." Hermione stated as Ron looked a fronted.
"Why don't all you girls leave so I can talk to him myself." Ron stated insultingly.
"How about you leave and don't bother to talk to us again." Hayate stated as she looked mad.
"Axel Shooter." Nanoha stated as she pointed at him.
"Girls are useless..." Ron started to say.
"Shoot." Nanoha stated before Ron was blasted out of the cabin harshly by a pink sphere.
"We told you not to bother us again, and if you do that would be your last warning." Harry stated quite coldly. "They are my friends from my childhood, and Hermione is starting to know us, so if you want to be my friend you have to start by being theirs as well." Harry stated as he slammed the cabin door shut.
"Did you mean that?" Hermione asked shocked.
"About?" Harry asked wondering.
"About me being a friend?" Hermione asked as her head lowered.
"Of course, that is one of the things I don't joke about. Otherwise Nanoha would blast me." Harry stated sticking his tongue at said person.
"Keep it up and I'll shoot you to." Nanoha stated making Hermione's eyes widen, before she saw everyone else start laughing.
"Your befriending beam is a little too powerful for the train." Fate stated with a small laugh that started to grow. "Of course I got the far more impressive one." Fate chuckled.
"Well... It seems like most of my friends were created by me being a little devil." Nanoha joked as Vita looked at her.
"More like a White Devil." Vita stated making Nanoha glare at her.
"I hate that Moniker." Nanoha muttered as she looked away.
"White Devil?" Hermione asked as she looked at the others.
"She likes blowing things up at full power." Hayate stated as Nanoha looked mad.
"Don't go filling her head up with lies it only happened one time, one time and I start getting called that." Nanoha stated angrily.
"Well, once is enough for Fate to be called the Black Angel." Harry stated with a slight grin at which made Fate blush.
"WHAT!" Nanoha shouted as she looked at Fate.
"I blasted someone calling you the White Devil once... and since then everyone started saying you caused me to be a fallen angel." Fate muttered.
"Wow, so young and they have nicknames." Hermione stated shocked, as the door opened and two blondes entered.
"Wow, Draco I didn't know you had a sister." Hayate stated looking her over. "Hmmm... you'll do well for my plan."
"What plan?" The blonde Girl asked as she tilted her head in wonder. "I'm not his sister. I'm not even related to him."
"Daphne, calm down." Draco stated as he looked at Daphne. "You did state you wanted to make new friends."
"Well, what is your plan then?" Daphne asked Hayate.
"Quite simple, I'm going to take over the world through Cosplay!" Hayate shouted in glee.
"Not this plan again." Harry stated as he swatted her head with a fan that disappeared as soon as it was used.
"Where do you keep hiding that thing!" Hayate shouted as she looked at him.
"What thing?" Harry asked shrugging.
"That bloody fan of yours." Hayate and Vita asked at the same time.
"What fan?" Harry asked as even Draco looked surprised.
"The one you hit Hayate with, Harry." Draco stated quite surprised that he would try to hide it.
"I have no idea what you are talking about... Sometimes I wish she would stop acting like an idiot and somehow or another she does." Harry stated making them all blink then palm their faces. "What?"
"Anyways... I would like to become friends." Daphne stated as she looked at the others
"Sure, I do need other girls for..." Hayate started to say but a fan hit her on the head again. "I'll find that fan of yours and burn it to a crisp." Hayate growled out.
"That's enough Hayate." Harry stated quite calmly. "Anyways I think Draco and I need to leave so you can all get changed into the robes." Harry stated as he and Draco left the cabin to change as well.
At the station in Hogwarts...
"First Years this way." A woman's voice sounded out to the crowd.
"Oh great..." Ron muttered as he saw the strawberry blonde hair.
"First years come along now." a giant of a man also sounded off as everyone saw the two individuals near some boats. "No more than four to a boat."
"Or you will capsize the boat." the woman stated as she saw Harry.
"Hi Signum." Harry stated before blinking. "How did you beat us here?"
"I've been learning from the big guy." Signum stated as she pointed to the larger man. "His name is Hagrid, nice enough guy... don't tell him any secrets though. Kept telling me things he shouldn't have." Signum stated as she lead the party of eight to two different boats.
"Vita stays with me." Harry stated as he and Vita got in one, soon followed by Hermione and Daphne.
"Fine with me, I wanted to ask you more about this Kurama... is that how it's pronounced?" Draco asked as he, Hayate, Fate, and Nanoha got in the other.
At the doors to the school...
"Any one missing a toad?" Signum asked as she picked up the frightened animal.
"Trevor!" a slight pudgy boy stated in surprise.
"Here you go, keep a better eye on him." Signum stated as Minerva McGonagall opened the doors to the Great Hall.
"This way please." Minerva stated as all the first years followed her and stopped when she told them to, she then placed a three-legged stool in the middle of the floor, that had a very old hat, which did a very odd thing that made all the Time-Space Mages look at said hat. "As I call your name please sit on the stool to be sorted. Abbot, Hannah." A young girl sat down on the stool.
"Hufflepuff!" the hat stated as Hannah went to that table.
After a few other students had been sorted...
"Granger, Hermione." Minerva stated as she looked at the bushy haired girl.
"Gryffindor." the hat stated making Hermione blink but still went to the proper table.
"Greengrass, Daphne." Minerva stated as Daphne had the hat placed on her head.
"Slytherin." The hat stated calmly and Daphne shrugged as she went to the table.
"Harlaown, Fate." Minerva stated as she looked surprised at the name and as Fate sat on the stool, the hat placed on her head.
~My, my such a wonderful mind you got.~ a voice sounded just for Fate.
~Who are you?~ Fate thought spoke back.
~I see you can talk to me as well... it better be...~ the hat thought to her before stating. "Ravenclaw." Fate stood up and moved toward her new table.
~Guy's be careful, it can talk to you.~ Fate stated to the others as she sat down with her house.
After another few names...
"Malfoy, Draco." Minerva stated with a sigh.
"Ravenclaw." The hat stated as it sat on his head for a second, making all the teachers blink, most of all Albus.
Then the crowd started to dwindle...
"Potter, Harry." Minerva stated with mild surprise, and placed the hat on his head.
~My, my... such a protected mind... and what's this... I don't believe it... I know just where to place you.~ The Hat talked to Harry alone before telling everyone around them. "Gryffindor." Making the entire table erupt in cheers.
"Potter, Vita." Minerva stated with a frown, as she placed the hat on Vita's head.
~My, my, what a little liar you are...~ the hat chided Vita within the confines of her mind.
~Stuff it, it's not my fault that I've lived over and over again, at least this time my master didn't die.~ Vita retorted.
~I cannot divulge what I find in someone's mind, but what you are means that you can't go too far from Harry.~ the hat replied before stating a loud. "Gryffindor." again making the table erupt but earning a dark glare from a certain someone, and the list continued.
"Takamachi, Nanoha." Minerva stated as Nanoha hopped right on the stool proudly waiting to be sorted, but when she felt the hat on her head.
~WHAT IN THE WORLD!~ the hat yelled at her in the mental confines of her head, before shouting in a shaky voice. "HUFFLEPUFF!" Nanoha blinked, before walking to that table.
~Nanoha, what were you thinking of?~ Fate asked as she looked at her long time friend.
~Heheheh... What I was planning to do to Hayate if she tried to drag me to that convention again with that silly costume.~ Nanoha replied as she sat down. ~Anyways this is a good thing as we all know where Hayate is going to end up.~
~True.~ Fate replied shaking her head.
"Weasley, Ron." Minerva stated with a white face. 'Not another one.' When she put the hat on Ron's head.
'Not another Weasley...' the hat thought before stating. "Gryffindor."
"Yagami, Hayate." Minerva stated as she looked at the remaining girl in the group, and placed the hat on her head.
~You are just as wrong as the blasting girl.~ the hat stated with some disdain.
~Why thank you, you know I do have some plans for this place already, first the children, then their parents, and then the world!~ Hayate thought back as she had this grin on her face. ~And I know that you know where to place me.~
~My you had that all planed out.~ the hat muttered as he then stated with a disdained voice. "Slytherin."
After the last student was sorted and Albus's normal rule stating...
"Please note that the corridor on the left hand side of the third floor is out of bounds this year." Albus stated as he hoped Harry's curiosity kicked in. "Now please enjoy your feast." As Albus sat down Ron tried to talk to Harry but was plainly being ignored as he was talking to Hermione.
"I take it that he wants people to examine why it's out of bounds." Hermione replied to Harry's question.
"And most likely find something dangerous in there." Harry stated as he felt something brush his mind, but thought nothing of it.
At the teacher's table...
'So Potter has a guardian protecting his mind... so unlike James...' Snape thought as he looked curious about this Vita Potter. 'I understand that Shamal and this Signum are both Potters... but how...' Snape thought as he glanced at Albus but quickly noticed that his arm twinged near Quirrell.
A/N: Oh no, they've been seperated into all four houses... Is Albus still trying to control Harry or has he given up? And who is going to be joining the TSAB little group? And Will Hayate ever suceed with her demented plan? Well I'm not going to answer these questions till later.
