The First Dream Team
part 2
by Piper
a/n- the second part to my fic, but this is the revised version. Hopefully, it will be better then the first version. If you haven't read part one yet, read that one first, because otherwise this one won't make any sense. I have no clue how long this will be or how long it will take to write it, so just bear with me. I should get this part done today because I have no school today!!
disclaimer- I own nothing. Not even the stuff you don't recognize. Because all the characters I create, they aren't really mine. They all look like my friends and act like my friends. Even the characters who are JKR's and I'm just giving personalities, the personalities don't belong to me. They're also my friends' personalities. Oh wait! I think I own the name of James' house. but probably;y not. Oh, well. On with the story!

Lily heard the hat shout. She jumped up excitedly, took off the hat, and ran over to sit with Liana.
A few minutes later, it was time for Remus to be sorted. He put the hat on. After a couple of minutes, the hat proclaimed him the third new Gryffindor.
After several more Slytherins and some Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws, it was Liana's turn to try on the hat. She, too, was a Gryffindor.
Oh, this is great! Liana said, hugging her. We're together!
Finally, James was called. Lily strongly suspected that he would be a Gryffindor, not just because the four girls he had earlier identified as his sisters were sitting at the table, but because she could vaguely remember Liana telling her that one of his ancestors was Godric Gryffindor, the founder of Gryffindor House. Sure enough, James was sent to Gryffindor.
A bit later, Sampson, Matthew became the next new Gryffindor, shortly followed by Vincent, Adam as the last new Gryffindor boy. Now there were only two people left to be Sorted. Vorte, Lee became a Ravenclaw and Weasley, Odessa was made the last Gryffindor.
Odessa said, sitting down across from Lily. I'm Odessa Weasley, but everyone calls me Dessie.
Hi Dessie. I'm Liana, and these are Lily, James, Sirius, Remus, Alina, and Cienna. Liana introduced them all.
Hi everyone, Dessie said, pushing her red hair out of her eyes. So, where are you all from?
Liana and I are from Liverpool, Lily answered.
I'm from London, James added.
Me, too,said Sirius.
I'm from Glasgow, Alina said.
I'm from Plymouth, Remus told her.
I'm from Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, Cienna said. What about you?
I'm from Auchlunies. It's near Aberdeen, Dessie said.
Just then, Cassandra came over to them. Okay, James, where did you put it?
He looked up at his fifteen year old sister innocently. Put what, Cass?
My wand, you little pickpocket, she glared at her little brother.
I swear, I don't have it. Ask Alyssa. She and Emilie have played their fair share of pranks, he replied, his sapphire blue eyes deceptively innocent.
I know for a fact you have it. I've known you long enough to tell when you're really innocent, which is never, and when you're guilty. And you, dear brother, are guilty. Hand over the wand. Now. Before I make you.
I don't have it.
I'll be back, she smiled sweetly, then stuck her tongue out at him and walled back to where she had been sitting.
James then pulled a wand out of his pocket and started laughing. Just then, several feet down the table, someone cried out, The wand flew out of his hand, and Cassandra caught it smoothly. James looked annoyed. Lily laughed. Just then, something exploded to her left, on Liana's plate. Her dessert blew up all over her face, and Sirius started laughing hysterically. Liana whipped out her wand.
Don't you dare, Sirius told her.
Why not? Liana asked, wiping whipped cream off her face.
Because. We both know that I, at least at the moment, know a lot more spells and curses then you do.
Damn you. Liana swore. Sirius just smiled. I'll get you back. You know I will, she said acidly.
Uh-huh. Whatever,
Down the table, several more desserts exploded. Four, in fact. All in front of the Potter girls. James and Sirius couldn't contain their laughter. Unfortunately for them, Professor McGonagall noticed. She walked over to them.
Hello, boys. Mr. Potter, Mr. Black, detention. I will tell you what you will be doing sometime soon. Now, are anymore desserts going to be exploding tonight?
Why, what do you mean, Professor? We would never blow up people's desserts. Especially not my sisters' and our friend's, James, his eyes falsely innocent once again, asked the professor who also happened to be the head of Gryffindor House.
Do you forget, Mr. Potter, that I've known you since you were born? she asked.
Do you have to call me Mr. Potter? Can't you call me James? You are my aunt.
Right now, we are in school. Here, I'm not your aunt. I'm your professor.
Technically, you are still my aunt.
Detention, James. You and Sirius have detention. And that's final, Professor McGonagall walked back to the Head Table.
All right! Both boys exclaimed. This has to be a record. I don't think anyone else has ever gotten detention before the first night before! Sirius added.
You two are incorrigible, Liana told them, her face now clean. She had gotten her oldest brother, Sean, to do a cleaning charm on it.
I know. It's in our job description, James retorted.
I can't wait for flying lessons, Lily said. My parents would never let Liana teach me. They said I had to wait until I got to Hogwarts.
Oh, flying's great. You'll love it, James said. Have you ever seen a game of quidditch?
I've only seen Liana's brothers and sister playing it, never a real game. It looks like fun.
It is. Unfortunately, first years can't be on the house teams. I'm definitely trying out next year.
Cool. What's your favorite position?
I like Seeker.
You gonna try out?
I have to see if I can even fly first. She laughed.
You know, that might help, he laughed, too.
Yeah, maybe.

After a welcoming speech, during which Professor Dumbledore, the headmaster, warned them to stay away from the Forbidden Forest and the newly planted Whomping Willow, a willow tree that hit you if you came to close. He also told them that magic is not to be practiced in the hallway. Then, after singing the school song, he sent them all up to bed. As a prefect, Cassandra led the first years up to Gryffindor Tower and told them the password. (shooting stars). There, the boys and girls separated and went up their spiral staircases into their dormitories.
This is awesome! Lily exclaimed, looking around the circular room. There were five large, canopy beds with red velvet hangings.
My cousin never told me it was this good! Alina said. This is great!
I'm beat. Let's go to bed, Liana said.
I second that, piped up Cienna.
Good night, all. Dessie yawned.
*****
The next morning, as they nearly fell asleep over their breakfast and the owls swooped in with the mail, the Gryffindors received their schedules.
What's first? Dessie asked, as a yawn nearly broke her jaw.
Um, (yawn) trans (yawn) figur (yawn) at (very big yawn)ion, Sirius managed.
Man, when did you guys go to sleep last night? Liana asked, yawning herself.
Um, (yawn) I don't think we did, James said, rubbing his eyes.
What were you doing? Lily asked.
Sirius said.
Um Remus? Wake up, Lily poked the boy, who had fallen asleep on the table.
He sat up, blinking. What happened? Is it time for breakfast? He asked stupidly.
The girls all burst out laughing.
Come on. We have to find the transfiguration classroom, Alina stood up. pulling Cienna with her.
No we don't. We know exactly where it is, James said, feeling superior.
I should have known, Liana said, picking up her bag. Lead the way.
*****
All right, class. You are here to learn transfiguration. It is very difficult, so don't expect much to begin with. Here, she turned her desk into a pig and back again. You won't be doing anything like that for a while. We will start with turning matches into needles. Now, copy these notes.
She walked around the classroom, looking at the students' work. James had already managed to turn his match into a needle. Very good, Mr. Potter, she said, giving him one of her rare smiles. I'm impressed. A few minutes later, at the exact same time, Lily and Sirius transfigured their matches, and a few minutes later, Liana changed hers. By the end of the class, all but two of the matches were needles. Professor McGonagall was impressed.
I'm impressed. I've never seen a first year class before that was this advanced. She told them, smiling. Class dismissed. No homework,
James whispered to Remus on their way out Wow! This is great! My sisters always said she gave killer homework!
I know! Liana and Sirius agreed.
So, what do we have next? Lily asked.
Um, Charms, Cienna said.
So, boys, do you know where this one is? Alina asked.
Yup. Just follow us, said Sirius, grinning smugly.
*****
They found the Charms classroom in record time. Professor Flitwick, the charms teacher, was small and dwarf like. In charms, the first thing they learned was how to light up their wands by saying . Lily lit hers almost instantly, and the others caught on pretty quickly.
At lunch that day, they were sitting at the Gryffindor table when James' oldest sister, Rhiannon, came in. She went to sit down and quickly jumped up with a yelp, glaring down the table at James.
They could see her mouth move and her wand point at her brother, and all of a sudden, James was laughing hysterically. Rhiannon had hit him with a tickling charm. Though they weren't physically affected, Lily, Liana, Sirius, Remus, Cienna, Alina, and Dessie were all laughing almost as hard. James was jumping around, trying to make the tickling stop, but he couldn't. Finally, his sister released him from the spell. James stopped laughing momentarily, but the others were all still crying they were laughing so hard, and soon, the whole Gryffindor table was laughing, with the rest of the Great Hall either staring at them like they were insane or giggling along with them.
*****
That afternoon, they had their first herbology class. The teacher, Professor Baggins, was a short, skinny little witch. She was a lot tougher then she looked, though she was usually laughing. Herbology ended up as the only class they got homework from that day, which surprised them.
I don't think it should be called Lily said that afternoon, as they were wandering on the field outside the school, doing the herbology homework. (Find ten different types of magical vegetation on the Hogwarts grounds.) I mean, we don't do it at home, technically. We do it here, at school. I think they should call it after school work.
I get your point, but after school work just doesn't sound as much like torture as does, Alina said, trying to grab a magical flower of a tree.
Hey! I know what would surprise Baggins! Sirius suddenly exclaimed.
asked James curiously..
If we got some leaves from the Whomping Willow!
For some reason, Remus paled.
Oh yeah, that's just a brilliant idea, Sirius, Lily said sarcastically.
I mean, there's gotta be away to make it stop whomping.
I wonder why they planted it anyway, James thought outloud, Remus still oddly quiet.
Who knows. Probably to give you two a challenge, Liana said.
Hey. Don't try to tell us that you've never pulled a prank, Sirius said indignantly.
I never said I hadn't, she replied, a nasty glint in her eyes. Alina let out a cry of triumph as she finally managed to grab her flower.
I still can't believe you guys already have detention, Dessie said.
Oh, believe me, it shouldn't be surprising, Liana told her. All their pathetic little lives, they've been waiting to go to Hogwarts so they could learn how to play more advanced magical pranks and get detentions.
*****
The nest day, they had their first potions class. It was a double period with the Ravenclaws.
Professor Dragila was the first potions teacher ever who wasn't head of Slytherin house. He hadn't even been a Slytherin. He had been in Gryffindor.
Hello, class, he had said to them as soon as everyone had found a seat. Okay, now, these are the class rules: rule one: don't touch the dragon. Rule two: touch the dragon you die. (He was referring to a detailed picture of a dragon on a board in the back of the room.) Any questions?
Adam Vincent raised his hand. How will you kill us?
The class laughed. Usually by strangulation, was Professor Dragila's reply, causing the class to laugh harder.
Now, we have to pick out supplies. Some of the supplies you use in here are also used in herbology, and Professor Baggins needs some extras. So we have to go through them and pick out the crappy ones to give to her. The class was laughing very hard now. Professor Dragila started sorting out tools. He could be heard saying Good tool, good tool, kuh-kuh tool, good, kuh-kuh, kuh-kuh, kuh-kuh, good, good, good, kuh-kuh... and the class in hysterics. Eww, this one's sticky. We are definitely giving this one to Baggins Here, Professor Baggins. This one's a little sticky, but that won't bother you, will it?'he mimicked. Now, the class was practically in tears. It seemed like potions might be very interesting this year.
*****
During lunch that day, James, Sirius, and Remus could be seen with their heads together, whispering hurriedly. I wonder what they're up to now, Dessie said with a laugh.
I don't think I want to know, Cienna replied.
Neither do I, Alina agreed.
I do. Why should they get to have all the fun? I have a great idea, Liana whispered, making the other girls lean in to hear her.
*****
a/n- another cliffhanger. I have to do something to try to make sure people keep reading it. So, maybe in the next part I'll let you in on the girls' prank and the boys' prank. If I can come up with some good ones. Now, I didn't come up with Professor Dragila's totally crazy personality. That's actually almost an exact copy of one of my teachers, except the picture on the board was a different animals and the crappy tools were really books. So, now you've read, so REVIEW!! I know somebody said that they wanted to know more about the characters personalities, but that will come in later parts. So REVIEW!!!!!! Please? Thanks!
