"This place is like, totally amazing!" Kitty said to Lance as they
followed the group of Hufflepuffs.
"Hey new girl, what year are you?" A boy that looked slightly older then Kitty said.
"Uh. we're like going into our third year." Kitty replied.
"Third year? You look much older then third year!" The boy said in amazement.
"Well, I think it's pretty good considering we're in our third year, our fist year of school here." Lance said, standing partially in front of Kitty.
"Oh yeah, your one of those students who got your powers late. Cool! I heard rumors that you guys were really powerful and that the ministry couldn't ignore you even though they wanted to." A girl said.
"Geese, gossip must get around fast." Lance scowled.
"Ohh, this is like totally my place then!" Kitty said with a smile. She pushed Lance away kindly.
"Most of it's true." Kitty said to the boy.
"What's your name?" The girl that had come up next to the boy asked.
"Oh, I'm Kitty, and this is Lance." Kitty answered.
"Hi Lance." The girl said, holding her hand out to him. Lance shook it.
"What's your name?" Lance asked the girl.
"Oh, my name is Tanya and this is Roger." Tanya replied. Tanya and Lance began talking and Roger and Kitty began talking. Before they new it, they were in the common room of Hufflepuff chatting away.
Finally they went to their dorms. "That Lance guy you came with is pretty cool. Is he single?" Tanya asked.
"Uh." Kitty replied. She suddenly felt very jealous.
"You two aren't seeing each other are you?" The girl asked.
"Well. not exactly."
"Good. Then he's free. Thanks Kit." Tanya said, before going over to her four poster bed and lying down.
"You like, didn't let me finish!" Kitty said, a bit angry.
"You didn't have to. Not exactly is good enough for me. If I can get guys that are already dating someone, I can surely get one that is 'not exactly' with someone." Tanya replied.
~
"Hey, that Kitty girl is really cute. You two dating?" Roger asked as Lance and him entered the dorm.
"Er-no. I mean, I've had a thing for her for a long time now, but all she ever seems to do is flirt with me or hate me." Lance replied. "Girls, I don't get them."
"Nor do I. Hey, would you be mad at me if I gave Kitty a shot? She seems cool enough." Roger asked.
"Good luck!" Lance said, laying down on his bed and putting his hands behind his head as a cushion.
"Okay." Roger said, as if Lance had just given him a challenge.
"What about Tanya? She's cool. Perhaps I could try and get her attention." Lance said, glancing over at Roger with a smile.
"Sure go ahead. We dated for a bit, but it was always an on and off thing. That girl's got an ego!" Roger replied.
"A lot of girls that look that pretty do." Lance stated simply.
"Kitty doesn't seem to have much of an ego."
"No, but she sure does think she's better then people."
"Really? Interesting."
"Yup. She's really cute when she's angry though!" Lance went on.
"That's always good to hear. Then you always know that when you get in fights, you've got something to look forward to." Roger replied happily.
Lance chuckled softly. "So what about Tanya, is she cute when she's mad?"
"Ohh no man! Not at all. She's downright scary. When she's mad, you don't want to be around her!" Roger said, shaking his head.
"I'll keep that in mind." Lance said.
"That's good." Roger agreed with a nod.
"Well, good night." Lance said, getting ready for bed.
"Night."

Kurt walked along the corridors next to Harry, Ron, and Hermione as they headed to Gryffindor tower. "Zis place is so cool! It's a little disappointing zat I don't get to be viz my ozer friends, but at least your faces are familiar to me." Kurt said to them. Lance, Pietro, and himself had all set off to look for Rogue and Kitty when the train had started slowing down and they had arrived right as Harry had fell, quickly followed by Rogue. They hadn't went too much further though, because they didn't want to be near the dementor. Once Lupin had made it go though, they had ran in to check on their friends.
"I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun er-" Hermione said, but she couldn't remember the boys name.
"Kurt." Kurt told her.
"Yeah, Kurt. It's really all very interesting." The girl then went into telling him about some very technical sounding things that Kurt couldn't follow, but he watched the girl in intrigue.
"Hermione! Stop boring the poor guy. Don't you think he'll get enough of that tomorrow? He's got two years of catching up to do while also learning his third!" Ron interrupted her.
"Not to mention on how to learn to apparate." Kurt muttered.
"What?!" Ron asked in envy. "But you're underage!"
"Yes, and the Ministry of Magic clearly states that if you are under-" Hermione began.
"I know, I know!" Kurt cut in. "But ze ministry vas determined to get us here and ze five of us refused to come unless ve'd get to go back to ze institute so zey gave in." Kurt explained.
"Really? That's so cool!" Ron exclaimed. "In Hogsmeade, it would be really cool to be able to apparate. We could drive Crabbe and Goyle crazy!"
"Who's Crabbe and Goyle?"
"Crabbe and Goyle are stupid thugs who worship Draco Malfoy." Ron replied to Kurt's question.
"Who's Draco Malfoy?" Kurt asked, getting even more confused.
"A really annoying boy from Slytherin that loves to make our lives miserable." Harry replied.
"Oh, so all of zose type of people get into Slyzerin?" Kurt asked, thinking of Pietro.
"I guess." Ron answered with a shrug. "Not a witch or wizard that's ever gone bad hasn't come from Slytherin." Ron explained.
"Yeah, Pietro sure vill be von vizard gone bad." Kurt muttered.
"Pietro?" Hermione asked.
"Oh, he's von of ze new guys zat are older but in ze zird year." Kurt answered.
They had gotten to a wall with a large picture of a fat lady. "Password." She questioned, and someone said it. They were then going into a hole behind it and they were in the Gryffindor common room. Most of the students went up to bed, but Harry, Ron, and Hermione had some questions to ask Kurt.
"Look, Kurt, I can't help but wonder, why is it that all five of you got your power at the same time and you all knew each other? We won't tell anyone, you have no clue the kind of secrets we've kept before." Hermione beckoned him when they were out of earshot to everyone.
"Zat vas a really good feast! Do you eat like zat every night?" Kurt asked in an attempt to change the subject.
"Kurt?!" Ron provoked.
"Look, I really shouldn't be ze von to tell you!" Kurt replied.
"What could it possibly be? We know Dumbledore must know, knowing him, he probably told you what happened." Harry urged.
"Vell, he did tell us. Please, don't ask me to be ze von to explain!" Kurt begged. "In any case, it isn't my place to tell! No, no, I can't!" Kurt said, leaping from between them and hurrying to the spiral staircase, following some boys to the dorm.

"I hear the five of you are very powerful." The boy named Draco said to Pietro.
"That'swhatweweretold." Pietro replied with a shrug.
"What?" Draco asked.
"That's-what-we-were-told." Pietro repeated slowly.
"Oh. That one with the white streaks in her hair is pretty mean. I like her." Draco said with a smile.
"Rouge?" Pietro asked.
"Is that her name? Well yeah, her." Draco asked. "I wonder what she's doing hanging out with Potter's crew? They're not like her at all!"
"Potter'screw?" Pietro asked.
"Yeah. They're a bunch of wimps; weak fools!" Draco growled. "I can't believe he hangs with mudbloods!"
"Mudbloods?" Pietro asked. He was pretty shocked. Usually it was him doing a lot of the talking but this Draco kid was doing quite enough.
"Yeah." Draco said as if it's a term Pietro should know. "Don't tell me your one of them?"
"Perhaps-if-you-tell-me-what-a-mudblood-is-then-I-could-tell-you." Pietro growled. He didn't know if he liked this boy.
"Muggle born. Non-magic folk as parents."
"Well, myparentsaren'texactlymuggles, butnotexactlywitchesorwizardseither." Pietro replied, thinking about his dad. A great pain grabbed his chest then. He hated thinking about his dad.
"Uhhh." Draco said in confusion.
"Never-mind. Don't-worry-about-it. I'm-tired-of-repeating-myself." Pietro said slowly.
"Ever think of speaking normally then?" Draco asked, and the two thugs behind him snickered. "This Rogue girl, she said that she could take these two on." Draco said questioningly. "Is it true?"
"Defiantly." Pietro replied, almost wishing Rogue was here right then to smash one of the two guy's faces in. But then again, who needs that, Pietro could just freak them out him selve if he wanted too. Wonder how they'd react being lifted up into the air because he was running around them so quickly.
"But she's so. small." Draco stated.
"Oh, like you?" Pietro said at a normal pace to let the words sink in.
"Hmm. good point." Draco replied with a nodd. Pietro looked at him in utter shock. Did he really think that he was as strong as his thugs?
"So, what's the scoop on you guys?" Draco asked. Pietro was tempted to tell him so that the five of them could use their powers freely and he could attack the guys, but he knew that Rogue or one of the others would defiantly hurt him then.
"Thereisnoscoop." Pietro said with a shrug.
"What?" Draco asked.
Pietro sighed annoyed. "There-is-no-scoop!" Pietro repeated.
Draco shrugged, then lead Pietro to the boys dormitory.
^~^
Rogue walked absently along with the group. It always unnerved her to be in large groups for she was constantly afraid of touching someone. She didn't feel like doing that! It wasn't likely to happen though. She was wearing her robes, which covered just about everything but her hands and face. Her hands were covered now though, for she was wearing her usual gloves. At least she had something left from her Goth look besides her make-up.
"Hey, are you one of those students who got your power this year?" A guy asked, walking up to her in the group.
"Ya, Ah am." Rogue replied simply.
"Your starting your third year then aren't you?" He asked.
"Yeah." Rogue answered.
"Well, I'm Cody, what's your name?" He asked.
Rogue looked at him, remembering the dance she had went to when she had first gotten her powers. Cody, he had accidentally knocked her over and then he had tried to help her up, but had touched her and she absorbed him. But this wasn't that Cody.
"Hello?" Cody's voice interrupted her thoughts.
"Oh, yeah, Ah'm Rogue." Rogue replied, taking his hand. He shook it with a kind smile.
"If you need anybody to show you the ropes, just let me know." He offered. He smiled at her, then joined his friends. Rogue stared after him for a bit then looked down at her gloved hands. She wondered how different her life would be if she wouldn't have had her mutation. Would her magic have shown up, and if it did, would it be late. Would it have overtaken her? Dumbledore said that's why it had flown into other people.
Soon Rogue found herself in the dormitory. Her stuff was already in there and Mrs. Marvel was hooting impatiently, wanting to get out. Rogue opened the cage door and she jumped onto the bed.
The door to the dormitory opened and a girl came in, laughing at some joke. When she turned around and saw Rogue, her smile faded. She shut her door then went silently to her bed.
Rogue stared at the bed in front of her having nothing else to distract her vision and thinking. The girl turned to her and looked at her cruelly and Rogue looked up at her. It had apparently looked as if she had been staring at the girl.
"Oh, be nice, she wasn't even looking at you." Said a girl who had at some point entered to. She was a pretty girl with black hair and looked as if she was in the third year as well. "Hi, I'm Cho, Cho Chang. What's your name?" She asked pleasantly.
"Rogue." Rogue replied, before changing into her pajamas and laying down in her bed.
Eventually, after sitting awake in her four poster bed for a while, everyone was asleep. Rogue smiled and got out of her bed. She then opened the window ready to leave.
Rogue jumped out the window and looked quickly back in. She had made lumps with her pillows just in case someone woke up. She now looked back into the window to make sure no one had awoken and seen her. She then quickly took off.
She soared up high. She kept flying up until she could look down and see the entire castle. It was cold though and was happy she had her trench coat on over her pajamas.
The sight of the castle so far below her was beautiful. It was huge and the moon was full. The light from it reflected off a large dark lake and it looked absolutely amazing. Rogue just hovered there for a couple of minutes, clutching her trench coat tightly against her body for warmth.
After a while she dropped. Just dropped, letting her arms flail and her hair whip around her face as she went free falling. The trench coat rippled and ruffled around her body and the wind stung coldly, but played across her skin in a very refreshing way. She closed her eyes and the wind played across her eyelids and eyelashes. It was a wonderful feeling. It was one of the closest things she knew to touch.
When she was only feet away from the ground she took off just above the ground, soaring upward again. She then flew to the lake.
As she went closely over the water she placed her hands; palm down; halfway into the water and ran them through it. She then shot back up and looked back down at the lake. It was still rippling from when she had ran her hands over it and the light from the moon wavered and moved with the ripples in the water.
It was truly amazing. It was really refreshing after having such a stressful day. Her mind went back to her fight with Kitty. Kitty didn't understand Rogue's pain. She knew she pitied herself a lot, but it was hard not to when you were doomed not to ever touch. Kitty wouldn't know. Kurt knew better then she did, but she always tried to understand. More like pretend t'understand. Rogue thought, looking blankly down at the lake.
Now Kitty was trying to get Rogue to interest guys. Rogue shook her head. It just wouldn't work! She wondered who would be more hurt in the end. Her, or him.
Rogue took off across the sky. She found herself gliding over a forest.
Ravenclaw. Her knew house? Her friends were in other houses and she was all alone. Alone, as she was doomed to be. Alone she couldn't hurt anyone and no one could hurt her. She could live like this, in the air and in her imagination. That's all she really had. wasn't it?
Rogue stopped to look down into the forest. She saw a really large dog below her. She couldn't see it's color very well, but it looked as if it's coat was a dark color. She then looked up at the moon and it looked as if it was almost to its peak in the sky. She then turned around and headed back.
As she was going over the edge of the forest and close to the castle she looked down to see a hut. The windows were lit. She dived down and looked in the window. She saw Hagrid inside and the big oaf was petting his dog while gulping down some drink. He looked really pleased with himself. Rogue smiled, then moved over to the door and knocked.
A second later the door opened. "Rogue? What are you doing 'ere at this hour?" He asked.
"Ah was restless so Ah flew out tha window, and, here Ah am." Rogue said, stepping in.
"Well, I guess I'm used ter gettin' visitors at night." He said with a shrug as he closed the door behind her.
"What do y'mean?" Rogue asked, sitting down.
"Harry, Ron, and Hermione visit me a lot. Usually a little earlier then this, but that's okay." Hagrid answered her.
"Umm. how? We're not allowed t'come out of our house after curfew." Rogue questioned.
"They just use Harry's invisibility cloak." He trailed off, his eyes getting wide. " I shouldn'ave told you that!"
Rogue chuckled. "Ah've already got mah secret to keep, don' worry abou' it. Ah won't say anythin'."
"Thank you. I wonder how long your secret will last against those three though." Hagrid thought aloud.
"What do ya mean by that?" Rogue asked as Hagrid poured her some tea. "Oh, Ah betta not, Ah should be gettin back t'my dorm soon." Rogue said shaking her head.
Hagrid nodded and stopped pouring. "What I mean is, those kids find out everything. Sooner or later, they're gonna know your secrets. Or.. Secret." Hagrid answered, sitting down in front of her.
"Well, Ah betta get goin, but if say ya accidentally tell Harry, Ron, or Hermione about our secret, tell them t'tell us. K?" Rogue asked, heading for the door. He seemed one who didn't really think before he spoke, therefore it wasn't hard to trick secrets out of him. She figured that she wouldn't surprised if the trio one day up and said something about their mutations.
Hagrid nodded, then Rogue opened the door, went out, closed it, and flew around the building a few times looking for her dormitory window. She remembered she had left the window opened, so she checked each open window until she found hers.
She flew inside and landed quietly. She then took off her trenchcoat and laid it with her stuff, pulling the pillows out that had been there to be her during her flight.
A breeze played coldly against her bare arm so she went back to the window and closed it. It creaked closed then clicked. The girl Cho had talked to then stirred awake. "What are you doing?" She growled.
"Couldn' sleep so Ah was lookin out the window. Ah'm tired now though." Rogue lied, laying down in her bed.
"Whatever." The girl snarled, laying back down. Rogue then quickly fell back asleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Those who have asked about what had happened to Kurt's blue self and tail, I thought I had made it clear in chapt. 'Hogwarts Express' what happened about that, but I'll explain it to you now. Dumbledore gave Hagrid a spell to give to Kurt that will make Kurt look normal. It doesn't last forever so every few days he'll get another one. Don't worry though, you get to see the blue fuzzy elf in his original form, it just might be a couple more chapts.
I'm also sorry that the chapters are short. I promise you all I'll try a little harder to make them longer. I just see spots were it would be good to leave hanging for a bit and can't resist it. *frowns* Hope you all forgive me.
Also, don't worry about Pietro, I like him for some odd reason, so I won't leave him out to dry. But I won't write and pretend that the rest of the X-men like him. I do want to portray them the way (I at least think) they would act in situations or what they would think in their heads.
For Pairings, I keep getting 'have it Romy' or 'have it Rietro'. I'm not complaining, but you're really leaving it neck in neck, so if you have an opinion, ya better say it so I know. I haven't decided on any of the pairings yet.
Now, be fore I bore you any longer, I have to warn you, I am
going to be gone till Sunday and I won't have access to a
computer so I cannot update. I'm sorry and I promise that as
soon as I get a chance on Sunday or Monday I will update.
There will be more though! I promise! :D ^Crysala^
"Hey new girl, what year are you?" A boy that looked slightly older then Kitty said.
"Uh. we're like going into our third year." Kitty replied.
"Third year? You look much older then third year!" The boy said in amazement.
"Well, I think it's pretty good considering we're in our third year, our fist year of school here." Lance said, standing partially in front of Kitty.

"Geese, gossip must get around fast." Lance scowled.
"Ohh, this is like totally my place then!" Kitty said with a smile. She pushed Lance away kindly.
"Most of it's true." Kitty said to the boy.
"What's your name?" The girl that had come up next to the boy asked.
"Oh, I'm Kitty, and this is Lance." Kitty answered.

"What's your name?" Lance asked the girl.
"Oh, my name is Tanya and this is Roger." Tanya replied. Tanya and Lance began talking and Roger and Kitty began talking. Before they new it, they were in the common room of Hufflepuff chatting away.

"Uh." Kitty replied. She suddenly felt very jealous.
"You two aren't seeing each other are you?" The girl asked.
"Well. not exactly."
"Good. Then he's free. Thanks Kit." Tanya said, before going over to her four poster bed and lying down.
"You like, didn't let me finish!" Kitty said, a bit angry.
"You didn't have to. Not exactly is good enough for me. If I can get guys that are already dating someone, I can surely get one that is 'not exactly' with someone." Tanya replied.

"Hey, that Kitty girl is really cute. You two dating?" Roger asked as Lance and him entered the dorm.
"Er-no. I mean, I've had a thing for her for a long time now, but all she ever seems to do is flirt with me or hate me." Lance replied. "Girls, I don't get them."
"Nor do I. Hey, would you be mad at me if I gave Kitty a shot? She seems cool enough." Roger asked.
"Good luck!" Lance said, laying down on his bed and putting his hands behind his head as a cushion.
"Okay." Roger said, as if Lance had just given him a challenge.
"What about Tanya? She's cool. Perhaps I could try and get her attention." Lance said, glancing over at Roger with a smile.
"Sure go ahead. We dated for a bit, but it was always an on and off thing. That girl's got an ego!" Roger replied.
"A lot of girls that look that pretty do." Lance stated simply.
"Kitty doesn't seem to have much of an ego."
"No, but she sure does think she's better then people."
"Really? Interesting."
"Yup. She's really cute when she's angry though!" Lance went on.
"That's always good to hear. Then you always know that when you get in fights, you've got something to look forward to." Roger replied happily.
Lance chuckled softly. "So what about Tanya, is she cute when she's mad?"
"Ohh no man! Not at all. She's downright scary. When she's mad, you don't want to be around her!" Roger said, shaking his head.
"I'll keep that in mind." Lance said.
"That's good." Roger agreed with a nod.
"Well, good night." Lance said, getting ready for bed.
"Night."

"Rogue." Rogue replied, before changing into her pajamas and laying down in her bed.
Eventually, after sitting awake in her four poster bed for a while, everyone was asleep. Rogue smiled and got out of her bed. She then opened the window ready to leave.
Rogue jumped out the window and looked quickly back in. She had made lumps with her pillows just in case someone woke up. She now looked back into the window to make sure no one had awoken and seen her. She then quickly took off.
She soared up high. She kept flying up until she could look down and see the entire castle. It was cold though and was happy she had her trench coat on over her pajamas.
The sight of the castle so far below her was beautiful. It was huge and the moon was full. The light from it reflected off a large dark lake and it looked absolutely amazing. Rogue just hovered there for a couple of minutes, clutching her trench coat tightly against her body for warmth.
After a while she dropped. Just dropped, letting her arms flail and her hair whip around her face as she went free falling. The trench coat rippled and ruffled around her body and the wind stung coldly, but played across her skin in a very refreshing way. She closed her eyes and the wind played across her eyelids and eyelashes. It was a wonderful feeling. It was one of the closest things she knew to touch.
When she was only feet away from the ground she took off just above the ground, soaring upward again. She then flew to the lake.
As she went closely over the water she placed her hands; palm down; halfway into the water and ran them through it. She then shot back up and looked back down at the lake. It was still rippling from when she had ran her hands over it and the light from the moon wavered and moved with the ripples in the water.
It was truly amazing. It was really refreshing after having such a stressful day. Her mind went back to her fight with Kitty. Kitty didn't understand Rogue's pain. She knew she pitied herself a lot, but it was hard not to when you were doomed not to ever touch. Kitty wouldn't know. Kurt knew better then she did, but she always tried to understand. More like pretend t'understand. Rogue thought, looking blankly down at the lake.
Now Kitty was trying to get Rogue to interest guys. Rogue shook her head. It just wouldn't work! She wondered who would be more hurt in the end. Her, or him.
Rogue took off across the sky. She found herself gliding over a forest.
Ravenclaw. Her knew house? Her friends were in other houses and she was all alone. Alone, as she was doomed to be. Alone she couldn't hurt anyone and no one could hurt her. She could live like this, in the air and in her imagination. That's all she really had. wasn't it?
Rogue stopped to look down into the forest. She saw a really large dog below her. She couldn't see it's color very well, but it looked as if it's coat was a dark color. She then looked up at the moon and it looked as if it was almost to its peak in the sky. She then turned around and headed back.
As she was going over the edge of the forest and close to the castle she looked down to see a hut. The windows were lit. She dived down and looked in the window. She saw Hagrid inside and the big oaf was petting his dog while gulping down some drink. He looked really pleased with himself. Rogue smiled, then moved over to the door and knocked.
A second later the door opened. "Rogue? What are you doing 'ere at this hour?" He asked.
"Ah was restless so Ah flew out tha window, and, here Ah am." Rogue said, stepping in.
"Well, I guess I'm used ter gettin' visitors at night." He said with a shrug as he closed the door behind her.
"What do y'mean?" Rogue asked, sitting down.
"Harry, Ron, and Hermione visit me a lot. Usually a little earlier then this, but that's okay." Hagrid answered her.
"Umm. how? We're not allowed t'come out of our house after curfew." Rogue questioned.
"They just use Harry's invisibility cloak." He trailed off, his eyes getting wide. " I shouldn'ave told you that!"
Rogue chuckled. "Ah've already got mah secret to keep, don' worry abou' it. Ah won't say anythin'."
"Thank you. I wonder how long your secret will last against those three though." Hagrid thought aloud.
"What do ya mean by that?" Rogue asked as Hagrid poured her some tea. "Oh, Ah betta not, Ah should be gettin back t'my dorm soon." Rogue said shaking her head.
Hagrid nodded and stopped pouring. "What I mean is, those kids find out everything. Sooner or later, they're gonna know your secrets. Or.. Secret." Hagrid answered, sitting down in front of her.
"Well, Ah betta get goin, but if say ya accidentally tell Harry, Ron, or Hermione about our secret, tell them t'tell us. K?" Rogue asked, heading for the door. He seemed one who didn't really think before he spoke, therefore it wasn't hard to trick secrets out of him. She figured that she wouldn't surprised if the trio one day up and said something about their mutations.
Hagrid nodded, then Rogue opened the door, went out, closed it, and flew around the building a few times looking for her dormitory window. She remembered she had left the window opened, so she checked each open window until she found hers.
She flew inside and landed quietly. She then took off her trenchcoat and laid it with her stuff, pulling the pillows out that had been there to be her during her flight.
A breeze played coldly against her bare arm so she went back to the window and closed it. It creaked closed then clicked. The girl Cho had talked to then stirred awake. "What are you doing?" She growled.
"Couldn' sleep so Ah was lookin out the window. Ah'm tired now though." Rogue lied, laying down in her bed.
"Whatever." The girl snarled, laying back down. Rogue then quickly fell back asleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Those who have asked about what had happened to Kurt's blue self and tail, I thought I had made it clear in chapt. 'Hogwarts Express' what happened about that, but I'll explain it to you now. Dumbledore gave Hagrid a spell to give to Kurt that will make Kurt look normal. It doesn't last forever so every few days he'll get another one. Don't worry though, you get to see the blue fuzzy elf in his original form, it just might be a couple more chapts.
I'm also sorry that the chapters are short. I promise you all I'll try a little harder to make them longer. I just see spots were it would be good to leave hanging for a bit and can't resist it. *frowns* Hope you all forgive me.
Also, don't worry about Pietro, I like him for some odd reason, so I won't leave him out to dry. But I won't write and pretend that the rest of the X-men like him. I do want to portray them the way (I at least think) they would act in situations or what they would think in their heads.
For Pairings, I keep getting 'have it Romy' or 'have it Rietro'. I'm not complaining, but you're really leaving it neck in neck, so if you have an opinion, ya better say it so I know. I haven't decided on any of the pairings yet.
Now, be fore I bore you any longer, I have to warn you, I am
going to be gone till Sunday and I won't have access to a
computer so I cannot update. I'm sorry and I promise that as
soon as I get a chance on Sunday or Monday I will update.
There will be more though! I promise! :D ^Crysala^
