Ember got up from the table and rushed over to the wheelchair bound mutant. "Professor!" which surprised some of the students was that Ember gave a hug to Professor Xavier.
"Ember, what have I told you about running indoors." Xavier mocked scolded her.
"Not too, unless I'm being chased by Logan." Ember replied "And with the amount of stuff, I pull on him, I could win a marathon." Her eyes swept across the courtyard.
"He didn't come." Xavier point out "but someone else did."
Just then, she felt a pair of hands wrap around her eyes "guess who?"
Ember sniffed before reaching behind her and throwing the person over her shoulder. "Someone who knows not to mess with me, when I don't my eyes being covered."
With a bang and a chuckle, "Now you would never hurt you true blue friend right, my froulin."
"You are the only one who smells like those gut bomb breakfast burritos." Ember replied "Nice to see you too, elf."
"Hey I love those things." Kurt pointed out.
"Yeah, and you smell like them mixed with sulfur." Ember retorted before seeing someone pass though the wall.
"Like this place is so cool."
Ember looked at the professor, he shrugged.
The rest of the Gryffindor house was just staring in shock at the trio in front of them.
Kitty ran over and gave a hug to Ember, much to the confusion of the feral witch.
"So where's this brother, we heard about?" Kitty asked
"Awe and I here I thought you missed me?" Ember questioned
"We did but he's been the talk of the school." Kitty replied "Plus your coming home for break ain't ya."
Ember growled "Alright which on told everyone? Scott, Storm, or Logan?"
Ember looked at the Professor.
"We came a little earlier then excepted." Xavier answered, "I wanted to meet with your teachers, seeing as I am your guardian in the eyes of the law."
"Well Jean kinda tricked it out of Scott." Kurt gave a nervous giggle.
"If those sunglasses weren't important to him, I would hide them." Ember growled "Let's play guess the little brother, shall we?"
Harry walked into the great hall, he noticed Ember motion with a jerk of her chin to sit down. He did as she told him and kept an eye on the three new comers to the school.
Kurt kept teleporting while asking, "Is it him?"
"Not even like close, Kurt." Kitty answered before taking a good look at the way Ember was acting before walking over to Harry, "He's your newfound brother?"
Harry's eyes shot wide open as the new girl came closer to him.
"Well done." Xavier praised "But how did you figure it out?"
"Ember's actions changed when he walked in." Kitty answered
"Alright, everyone listen up!" Ember exclaimed, "These three are from my other school, Professor Xavier is our mentor and guide, but these two are my friends, Kitty and Kurt. The blue elf might look strange but he's harmless."
"Like hi everybody." Kitty said with a smile and a wave.
"Hello" Kurt greeted with a small smile as well.
Ember shook her head, before walking over to Harry. "Little freaky, but you get used to them."
Xavier wheeled himself over to the other professors where he began talking to each one of them.
"So Harry, tell us about yourself." Kurt asked.
Ember growled a warning. "Shut it, Nightcrawler."
Kurt teleported out and reappeared next to kitty "What did I do now?"
Ember just went over and grabbed both of them by the arms, dragging them from the hall.
Harry watched them leave.
Ember dragged the two, aware if Kitty wanted to she could phase right out of her grip. She stopped and turned around.
"Froulin, what going on why you dragged us out here?" Kurt asked after straighten himself.
"Listen and listen well, I don't know much but I do know this, my brother has not had the greatest of upbringings. Do not ask him to tell you about it." Ember growled
"Ok, ok, we won't ask at all, I'm sorry we just want to get know him that's all." Kurt waved his hands in defense.
"We have time for that later." Xavier stated "After all the boy is going to stay with us during breaks."
Kitty turned to the professor "Like really this is so cool I can't wait."
Ember's brow raised in question.
"I decided to come and get you early for break, and Professor Dumbledore has agreed." Xavier explains.
Harry came rushing in to the hall with a smile on his face you would think he hit the lotto.
"Yes, Harry. It's true." Xavier assured, before tapping his temple. "I can read minds as Ember has told you, while I try not invade someone's mind against their will, some thoughts are easy to guess."
Harry jumped into Ember's arms and gave her a hug "Oh my goodness this is gonna be the best Christmas holidays ever."
"Easy kid, we ain't there yet and you still got to pack before we leave." Ember replied
Professor Xavier watched the two; he knew the rules of a wizard-in-training, that they couldn't use their magic until they were seventeen outside of school. However, with this newfound familial relationship between Ember and Harry, there were factions that would see the boy as a way to get to Ember and through her, Logan.
Ember's head snapped up and looked to the great hall. "What you all looking at?"
"Girls can't resist the fuzzy dude." Kurt replied, as he started to show off.
"Kurt, behave; we're guests here and you're not that all that." Kitty said while smacking Kurt in the head.
"You're just saying that because you have a crush on Lance." Ember teases
"You keep him out of this." Kitty snapped while blushing at the same time.
"I know I'm still new to whole emotion thing. But it's…fun teasing you." Ember replied, "and believe me, I can think of some puns to use on Quicksilver."
"He always is the first done in everything." Kurt joked
Ember looked down at Harry, "Quicksilver's mutation is that he can run really fast, I'll have Logan explain other things to you later..." before looking at the two teens. "Come on, Shadowcat, Nightcrawler. I'll show you the tower."
"Sure sounds great." They both agreed
Ember leads the two, leaving Xavier with the others to field that landmine. The two x-men followed the feral witch, checking out everything, the pictures were watching them. Kurt kept playing with his image-inducer, trying to get it to work.
"Sorry, Kurt, but tech won't work here the magic is just too high." Ember explained
"That's crazy, how do you live here?" Kurt questioned
Ember shrugged "I use Logan's combat and survival class to the extreme here."
"I just couldn't do it, I need my computer." Kitty shuddered at the thought.
Ember nods in agreement.
"So what do you do for fun if you don't have any Internet?" Kurt wondered
Ember was about to answer when she heard something, she jump at Kitty and Kurt, knocking them down just as pillows came flying at the spot they just were at.
"Hahaha, little firsty got a surprise." They heard the voice from the upper levels of the tower.
"Peeves." Ember snarled out, "That was low even for you." She kept snarling, "You idiot, poltergeist! They aren't students here!"
"What the little wild one don't like my pranks." They heard.
"Your pranks are worse than the twins and Kurt combined!" Ember snarled
Kurt looked at his friend "my pranks aren't bad period." He huffed.
"You tried to put magnets on me!" Ember exclaims, "Peeves get lost before I have Professor Snape get the Bloody Baron!"
"Not before this last gift." They heard a raspberry and a faint whistling sound.
"One of these days, Peeves. One of these days." Ember threatened before resuming going to the tower.
"Are all the spooks here like that jerk?" Kitty asks with a sour look.
"No, just don't go into the girls' bathroom on the third floor." Ember warned, "There is one who doesn't like anyone in her stall."
"Your school is so weird as that's coming for me." Kurt shook his head.
"Yeah, how about you try being the only mutant here." Ember replied, "I feel more at home at the institute."
"Yeah, I guess that might be tough for you." Kurt agreed.
"Yeah." Ember grunted as she jumps over the trick step. "Careful trick step."
One of Kurt's legs fell through the step and kitty just walked around him." Now see she warns us." The blue student complained.
Kurt teleported to another step. "That was just wrong."
"I was thinking, of seeing if I could have one installed at home." Ember replied innocently
"Nine, nine, nine." Kurt yelled waving his hands.
"I'm kidding, yesh. I do have a sense of humor." Ember replied as they arrived at the portrait of the Fat Lady.
"We'll work on it a bit more if you don't mind." Kitty smiled and looked at the portrait "Ok she's nice looking but what's so special about her."
"Password" the Fat Lady requests
"The Fat Lady is the portrait door to Gryffindor Tower." Ember explains, before giving the password. "Caput Draconis"
The portrait swung out and the trio entered the common room of the Gryffindor tower.
"Welcome to Gryffindor." Ember replied, as she heads toward the girls' side of the tower.
The two teens looked around in awe as the followed her up the stairs as Kurt tried to go up, he felt his feet give way and found himself at the bottom once more.
"Oh, did I forget to mention that boys aren't allowed in the girls' dorm?" Ember grinned
"You did that on purpose didn't you, Ember?" Kurt accused
"Who me? Just stay there and we'll be out, unless someone wants to give you a lift?" Ember questioned looking at Kitty.
"Nah leave him there." Kitty chuckled as they continued.
Ember went over to her bed and opened up her trunk, grabbing her backpack, she kept for breaks; she got out a change of clothing, street clothes. She packed up her clothing, and wand just in case, she wouldn't need anything else. She was caught up on everything, even finished the assignments that were given for over break work, mainly Snape trying to lessen holiday cheer.
"Hey Ember, you think like we should pack Harry's trunk for him" she heard Kurt from the bottom of the stairs.
"Never thought about it." Ember called back, as she shouldered her pack. "Might as well."
They all moved over to the boys' side and started on Harry's stuff. When they got to his clothes Kitty and Ember where fuming at the state of his clothes. "When we get home, we're taking him clothes shopping."
Ember snarled furiously, "If the Prof didn't erase their minds, already, I would so go animal on those creeps!"
"Of course, professor McGonagall, just give me a minute and I'll have my stuff packed and ready to go." They heard Harry at the bottom of the stairs.
Ember dropped Harry's things and slammed the trunk shut, "Phase now!"
Harry walked in and saw his trunk out and packed he didn't think anything of it and walked back down stairs to the professor.
Kitty and Ember appeared out of the wall in the common.
"Got to love phasing," Ember grinned at Kitty.
"Like wow he really is happy about this trip." Kitty smiled "let's hurry and meet him in the hall."
"We don't have too, we can just wait here in the Common room, that's why I had you phase out of the boys' side." Ember replied, she went over and sat on the couch.
Harry came downstairs and saw the three mutants sitting on the couch" Oh hey Ember, I didn't see you there hello Kitty and Kurt so we're all ready to go right." Harry beamed to them.
Ember looked at Harry, "Want to see how we get around?" she grinned at Kurt.
Harry smiled, nodded, and grabbed his trunk.
"Why are you taking your trunk?" Kurt questioned
"Well all my stuff in it can't leave it here."
"Yes, you can. What are you going to do over break your homework?" Ember asks, "We do have to come back here."
Harry looked back to the trunk then Ember, "But what about my clothes, I can't wear the same stuff all break long?"
"Harry, Professor Xavier takes care of his students that don't have a family to buy stuff for them." Kitty explained
"How do you think I afford books every year?" Ember commented, "Xavier does give us an allowance for doing chores."
"Less talking more teleporting," Kurt decided he grabbed onto both girls' arms, while his tail wrapped around Harry's arm. In an instant, they were standing near the doors to the great hall.
Before long, three mutants, one hybrid and one wizard were on their way to the US.
