*-*test...can you read these small letters??---If you can read this you have very good vision*-*-***-*-*
Harry ,Ron Alan, Gemini and Angel went to Diagon Alley a few days before the train left to bring a few hundred students to the most wonderful place in the world to learn magic.
All three eleven year olds picked up their supplies. They got their wand in MUCH shorter time then Violet and were soon off to the Animal Store. (what is it called again?)
Gemini bought an owl. It had a bit of magical power and it changed colors depending on it's mood. Ron grumbled about gay owls but bought it for her. As Gemini was memorizing the colors and the moods Angel walked over to a section that looked to be just rocks. She picked one up. It was white...crystal. She shook it and heard it squeak. She walked up to the manager and asked her about it. The old witch said:
"Ah, yes....the pet rock. What it really is, is a crystal that is home to a fairy. The fairy in that rock doesn't seem to like you!! Well, come here young child. Try this one." She handed Angel a clear crystal rock and Angel gasped when she saw a figure, no bigger then a chocolate chip, wink at her. The creature flew around the palm-sized rock with ease. It winked at Angel and said in a very small, almost angelic voice,
*you are the one I have been waiting for* Angel stared and ran over to her father.
"OOO, Daddy Please let me buy this!!" She showed him the rock. He turned it over in his hands and said,
" Neato, Harry look at this little fairy." Harry waved back at the small figure. "How much?" Angel let out a screech and got the 56 galleons from her father, who was by no means poor anymore.
Gemini came to see Angel and as she inspected the "pet rock" and she frowned.
"There's nothing in here!" Angel looked into it and saw the small fairy wave at her.
"Yes there is Gemini! Look, she is RIGHT there waving at me!!" Angel said pointing at the crystal.
"Young Ladies, please!! Pet Rock Fairies are not for everyone!! Only for the ones who truly believe in good can see the fairies!!" The old shop keeper said to the feuding 11-year olds. She walked away to help someone else, leaving Angel gaping. Angel left to go tell her dad, and she missed Gemini's evil grin.
Harry followed Alan around everywhere in the store. Alan just couldn't find the right animal. Harry had pushed him out of the way of the rats, owls didn't appeal to him and cats were...well, cats. Suddenly Alan stopped in front of a large cage.
"Ma'am what is in here?" He asked the old woman.
"Oh....well, deary.....inside that cage is an owl!" She said cheerily.
"Well...erm...why is it in a cage??" Alan asked.
"Oh, well, it killed a snake!" She said, still managing to smile.
"Oh, well, then sorry, we won't buy it!" Harry said, trying to steer his son away from the cage. But Alan wouldn't budge.
"Oh, deary, no! He wouldn't hurt a fly! It's just, well, you see the snake ate his mate and his owlets." The old woman frowned now, she seemed only to care for her animals and not the interest of humans being eaten by angry owls.
"May I see it?" Alan asked.
"Certainly!!" The old woman started to unlock the cage. Harry about to put his hand up and say something but he just shrugged his shoulders and watched. She opened the cage and pulled out a very large owl. It was about the height of a foot and a half. It wasn't fat but seemed to be big boned. It was a light brown and its eyes were the same color. It looked at Alan and hooted. Alan gasped as it rubbed its head affectionately on his shoulder.
"See, I told you he was nice. It was years ago that he attacked the snake, who was simple garden snake...no bigger then my pinky...killed his mate and his 2 owlets. Very sad thing. The female picked the snake up and thought it was a worm. she fed it to the owlets, who choked on it and died. The babies then fell off the nest and in a feeble attempt to save them, the mother flew off her perch and fell...and..." The woman burst into tears.
"Well, if the snake was eaten then how did the he kill it?" Alan asked, scratching his head.
"Well....um...I never thought of that..." The old woman said, scratching her head. She asked for 60 galleons which Harry gladly said saying something like, "We need to call the Animal Safety unit in the Ministry." She walked away grumbling.
The owl looked after her as if saying "FREAK!" Alan laughed and looked at him deeply. Harry was about to wave his hand in front of Alan's face when Alan screamed,
"I'LL NAME YOU FLUFFY!!" Harry cringed and the owl hooted sorrowfully.
"Only, kidding!! I'll call you...Raven!" The owl hooted at this and Harry sighed and loosened up his face. He thought he was going to come up with a name like Justin.....Ick! (a/n: Get it? Justin from *nsync...get it??))
Finally Ron, Harry, Alan, Gemini & Angel were walking towards the Leaky Cauldron. Ron and Harry sat at a table away from the life-long friends because of the not so wonderful smell admitting from the pet food.
"I've decided to call my Mood Owl, Moody!! Cool, huh?" both of her friends stuck their tongues out.
Gemini had a short temper and yelled,
"She's MY owl and I'll name what ever the Hell I want to!" She had seen Violet do this many times. Violet was her role-model. She hoped she was in Slytherin, so that she could get away from her idiot sister and cousin. Even though deep down she loved them. Thinking of all the good times they'd had together made her stop and say,
"I'm so sorry guys! You are my best friends. Nothing that ever happens will change that. I don't care if that fairy thing you have says I'm evil. Maybe I am but, you guys are my best friends. And I'll change her name to Star. I like that better. " She gave them each a hug and went to sit with her father, leaving the owl, which made her turn light blue to indicate she was sad. Suddenly Raven fluffed up his feathers and waddled over to Star. She turned from a sad light blue to purple. Gemini saw this and ran over pulling out her sheet of paper.
"This says that Star is....impressed!" She said. Angel and Alan giggled.
*-*-* while eating lunch*-*-*
"Well, I plan on naming my fairy...hmm....." Angel said.
"On this muggle device called a compooter the muggles call color things or something pixels!" Alan said.
"I like that! Pixel...yeah!" Angel said. Alan could see the fairy, but Gemini could not.
Soon, all the children, their animals and their dads were walking to The Potter/Weasley mansion so that Alan, Gemini and Angel could say good bye to the smaller kids and their mothers.
After tears from Hermione, Ginny and Holly, the trio was on their way.
*-*-*-*-*-*Malfoy Manor*-*-*-*-*
Draco had called for Carriages from work and soon Violet, Troy, Tawny and Greg were in a roomy carriage.
The seating arrangements were very nice.
Tawny sat next to Greg and across from Violet and Violet sat next to Troy.
The ride wasn't long at all and they were soon lugging their trunks and animals on the train. Violet soon spotted her brother and cousins and took Tawny down to meet them. As soon as they left Greg and Troy launched into conversation.
"Troy, you know how much I like your sister. And I was thinking of getting your permission before I asked her out. I would've asked your dad, but, he probably thinks 12 is too young to date. I won't do anything serious with her, but I just really like her." Greg said quickly.
"Greg, who else would I let go out with my sister. But, it isn't my choice. It is hers. Hey, you think Violet would...like....go out with me?" Troy said, trying to keep down the blush.
"Oh, Yeah. Tawny told me that Violet said "you take the cake." "Both boys started to laugh.
"What ARE you two laughing about?" Tawny said. She came in followed by Violet and 3 little amazed 11 year olds.
They were introduced and Alan, Gem, and Angel left.
"Nice kids. That Gemini has quite the temper though." Tawny said, commenting on the outrage she'd had on Angel about Pixel before they got on the train.
"Yeah, she is VERY quick tempered. I think she'll be the second person in my family in Slytherin. She thinks of me as her role-model. My mom hates it. She wants to get HER red hair streaked with black, but mum said no. I was glad. That is JUST what I need. A little mini-me running around after me!" Violet said, as her friends laughed as she waved a pen in the air saying, "Ooh, Ooh, Violet, autograph please!!"
*-*-*-*
Gemini had thankfully walked away before her cousin and her friends made fun of her.
As soon as they sat down in a compartment Angel and Alan zoomed into a conversation about how Albus Dumbledore had been in Gryffindor and how they wanted to be in Gryffindor, too.
Gemini knew they loved her but she needed to get away. Just then a boy with blonde hair popped into the compartment. He heard Alan say something about Godric, then he looked over to Gemini and saw her sulking. He pulled her out of the compartment and shoved her into his.
"Hey, Isaac Zambini. My friends call me Zack. I'm sure you've heard of my mom, Blaise. She's a deatheater. Sorry, for the rush. But, I saw your friends talking about Gryffindor and I saw you scowling and I knew you were made for Slytherin." He shook her hand and smiled at her.
"Hi, I'm Gemini Weasley. My friends call me Gem." She shook his hand, and they started to talk about their friends.
"Oh, yeah, I've known Angel and Alan my whole life. Alan is my cousin and Angel is my twin sister! Sometimes they get too, you know, goody-goody for me." Gemini said.
"Yeah, Same here!!! That is amazing!! My friend Mark, my best friend since we were 3, and my twin sister , Maria. They are both Gryffindor nuts. Talking about Albus Dumbledore and Minerva Mcgonna-something. I just had to leave. So, I came here. But, I got lonely, only me and my little Moody Owl, Moon. So, I came to look for some friends, and I happened to see you sulking while those other two blabbered on about Godric. So, I brought you here!" He smiled and Gemini couldn't help but smile, too.
Suddenly Gemini remembered something.
"Hey....sorry for asking this but are you an...inbreed?" She asked, blushing.
"A what?! NO! Why do you ask!!!??" he said.
"Well, if I don't remember correctly your mother was Blaise Zambini and since you have the same last name as her I was wondering if she like...married her brother..." She trailed off. Zack started to cackle with laughter.
"No...heeheehee...My mom is a single mother." He said.
"Oh, but wait...then how were you born?" She asked.
"Well, my real dad had an affair with his wife with my mom, and well, my mom got
pregnant and she had me and my twin sister but then my dad's wife died and he had to stay with his other kids...I never met him or my half brother and sister." Sadness flashed over his eyes and he looked away. " I think my mom is trying to contact him, though. My mom still goes to Deatheater meetings even after Voldemort was killed and I know he is against them so…you know."
"So, you know who he is?" Gemini asked.
"Yeah, Gem, I do, and I'm pretty sure you know him, too." He answered.
"Do you not want to tell me, Zack?"
"Actually, no, not right now. But, I promise I'll tell you later."
"Ok, Zack. That's fine with me." She smiled and from then on, Zack and Gemini were friends.
"So...you said you had a Mood Owl?" Gemini said.
"Yep! Sure do! Moon is her name!!" He pulled off a curtain on a fancy cage and a yellow
owl hooted at him.
"She's tired." Gemini noted.
"Yeah...why'd you ask, anyway?"
"Oh, because I have one, too." She showed him Star. As they were looking up her color, magenta, Alan and Angel opened the compartment door.
"There you are Gem!! We've been looking every where fro you, sis!" Angel said, panting.
"Hey. You Guys, this is my friend, Zack Zambini. Zack this is my sister, Angel and my cousin, Alan."
"Hey!" Zack extended a hand and shook Alan and Angel's hands.
"Are you going to come back to our compartment, Gemini?" Alan asked.
"Actually, I think I'll just hang with Zack for now, thanks."
"Ok, well, bye!" Angel said. She pulled a stunned Alan through the compartment door and walked back to their compartment.
Practically five minutes after they sat down two first years walked into their compartment.
"Hi there!! My name is Maria! We were wondering if you saw my twin brother Isaac." The girl said in a high cheery voice.
"He sometimes goes by Zack." The boy with her added. "My name is Mark by the way."
"Oh, him. Yeah, he and my sister are in the compartment two doors down talking about Slytherin. He practically swiped my sister out of here when we were talking about Gryffindor." Angel explained.
"Oh, that sounds like Zack." Mark said.
"Yeah, can't really say he's a bad egg in the family though. I guess I'm more of the good egg. My mom's name is Blaise Zambini. They are all Deatheaters. My brother can't wait until he is 13 so he can become a deatheater…" Maria trailed off.
"Deatheaters? I thought Voldemort died." Alan said, looking confused.
"Oh, he did, thank God. But, you see…I'm not supposed to tell anyone this, but they are in the middle of becoming big again. They are debating on who the new Dark Lord will be. My mother has a really good chance."
"Oh, I'm sorry." Angel said.
"No prob." She said, and turned around as the plump lady came in.
"Would you like any food, darlings?" She asked sweetly. The four children all smiled and each bought a fair share of sweets.
As the train got closer and closer to Hogwarts, Alan, Angel, Mark and Maria were god friends and new a great deal about each other.
*-*-*-* Sorting!!!*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
AS the train pulled into it's destination it was raining and lightning was slashing against the sky.
Zack and Gemini walked off the train, their stomachs gurgling from the amount of sweet they had both consumed, and over to the boats after stopping off to say hi to Violet.
"Firs' Years over here!! Ony' Four to a bou!!" Yelled a monstrous figure near a large clutch of boats.
"We only have two." Gemini said, but she sat down next to Zack on a boat across from her sister.
Suddenly a girl with black hair sat down next to them, shivering.
"Sure is cold, eh?" She said in a thick Irish accent.
"Yeah." Gemini said through chattering teeth, extending a hand.
"Hello, there. My name is S…Stephanie Finnigan"
"Hi, I'm Zack Zambini and this is Gem…Gemini Weasley." Zack shivered.
"Ah, here we go, ony' three in this boa!! Come on over 'ere young one." Norbert ushered another girl in the boat.
"Hey. My name is Taylor Alderman." The girl said as the boats lurched onto the lake.
"Hi, this is Zack, this is Gemini and I am Steph."
"Welcome aboard." Zack chattered.
*-*-**-*-*-*-*
"Everyone!! Only two to a carriage, please. You two go here, you two, over here...thank you." Hermione, being a teacher at Hogwarts, was ushering second years and above into carriages. She pushed Violet and Troy into one, and Greg and Tawny into another and moved onto the other.
"Freak, it is cold in here." Troy said after he closed the door behind Violet. He turned around and saw Violet shivering, her lips purple and her wet hair clinging to her cheeks.
He chuckled, and sensing it was time to "move" he placed his cloak over her shoulders and pushed her hair out of her face.
She looked up and smiled, her lips moving up and down at a very quick speed.
"Your lips are frozen solid." Troy chuckled. He wrung his hands together and leaned over closer to her. She smiled and moved her chattering lips closer to his and they kissed. It was no big kiss, just a quick peck. But, it sure did make Violet's lips a bit warmer.
*-*-*
"First year students!! Now listen. The Sorting hat will be placed on your head and he will tell you your house and you are to report straight to your tables. Usually, the Sorting Hat would sing a song, but after a few…mishaps…" She stared at a few sopping wet children, " we have no time." Hermione moved out of he way and the children walked in.
Professor McGonangall stood next to a stool with a hat on it and un-rolled a long piece of parchment.
The First name called was " Alderman, Taylor!"
"*Ah, hello, new blood here! You are straight out of London yourself. Your family has mostly gone to another school, I see, Durmstrang you say. Well, Peachy Keen,. That helps…SLYTHERIN!!!!" Great applause erupted from the table draped in green.
A few names then . "Finnigan, Stephanie!!!"
"Ahh, your father was a Gryffindor, though he didn't find it exciting. I'm guessing you want excitement…well, then, welcome to…SLYTHERIN!!!"
Again, tremendous applause from the green table…more applause, more names then…" Potter, Alan!"
"Ahh…another Potter. Your sister is Slytherin…care being with her….no, OK then...GRYFFINDOR!!"
"Smithson, Mark!"
"GRYFFINDOR!!"
"Weasley, Angel"
"GRYFFINDOR!!"
"Weasley, Gemini!"
"SLYTHERIN!!"
"Zambini, Isaac!!"
"SLYTHERIN!"
"Zambini, Maria!"
"GRYFFINDOR"
*-*-*
"Gemini! Welcome to Slytherin!" Violet said, while meeting each of her friends.
"And this is Zack Zambini, his twin sister, Maria is over in Gryffindor."
"Wait, Zack as in Isaac Zambini?" Troy asked, and Tawny looked over, stunned.
"Yeah, why?" he asked.
"My name is Troy Malfoy and this is my sister, Tawny. I'm your brother."

"Are you going to come back to our compartment, Gemini?" Alan asked.
"Actually, I think I'll just hang with Zack for now, thanks."
"Ok, well, bye!" Angel said. She pulled a stunned Alan through the compartment door and walked back to their compartment.
Practically five minutes after they sat down two first years walked into their compartment.
"Hi there!! My name is Maria! We were wondering if you saw my twin brother Isaac." The girl said in a high cheery voice.
"He sometimes goes by Zack." The boy with her added. "My name is Mark by the way."
"Oh, him. Yeah, he and my sister are in the compartment two doors down talking about Slytherin. He practically swiped my sister out of here when we were talking about Gryffindor." Angel explained.
"Oh, that sounds like Zack." Mark said.
"Yeah, can't really say he's a bad egg in the family though. I guess I'm more of the good egg. My mom's name is Blaise Zambini. They are all Deatheaters. My brother can't wait until he is 13 so he can become a deatheater…" Maria trailed off.
"Deatheaters? I thought Voldemort died." Alan said, looking confused.
"Oh, he did, thank God. But, you see…I'm not supposed to tell anyone this, but they are in the middle of becoming big again. They are debating on who the new Dark Lord will be. My mother has a really good chance."
"Oh, I'm sorry." Angel said.
"No prob." She said, and turned around as the plump lady came in.
"Would you like any food, darlings?" She asked sweetly. The four children all smiled and each bought a fair share of sweets.
As the train got closer and closer to Hogwarts, Alan, Angel, Mark and Maria were god friends and new a great deal about each other.
*-*-*-* Sorting!!!*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
AS the train pulled into it's destination it was raining and lightning was slashing against the sky.
Zack and Gemini walked off the train, their stomachs gurgling from the amount of sweet they had both consumed, and over to the boats after stopping off to say hi to Violet.
"Firs' Years over here!! Ony' Four to a bou!!" Yelled a monstrous figure near a large clutch of boats.
"We only have two." Gemini said, but she sat down next to Zack on a boat across from her sister.
Suddenly a girl with black hair sat down next to them, shivering.
"Sure is cold, eh?" She said in a thick Irish accent.
"Yeah." Gemini said through chattering teeth, extending a hand.
"Hello, there. My name is S…Stephanie Finnigan"
"Hi, I'm Zack Zambini and this is Gem…Gemini Weasley." Zack shivered.
"Ah, here we go, ony' three in this boa!! Come on over 'ere young one." Norbert ushered another girl in the boat.
"Hey. My name is Taylor Alderman." The girl said as the boats lurched onto the lake.
"Hi, this is Zack, this is Gemini and I am Steph."
"Welcome aboard." Zack chattered.
*-*-**-*-*-*-*
"Everyone!! Only two to a carriage, please. You two go here, you two, over here...thank you." Hermione, being a teacher at Hogwarts, was ushering second years and above into carriages. She pushed Violet and Troy into one, and Greg and Tawny into another and moved onto the other.
"Freak, it is cold in here." Troy said after he closed the door behind Violet. He turned around and saw Violet shivering, her lips purple and her wet hair clinging to her cheeks.
He chuckled, and sensing it was time to "move" he placed his cloak over her shoulders and pushed her hair out of her face.
She looked up and smiled, her lips moving up and down at a very quick speed.
"Your lips are frozen solid." Troy chuckled. He wrung his hands together and leaned over closer to her. She smiled and moved her chattering lips closer to his and they kissed. It was no big kiss, just a quick peck. But, it sure did make Violet's lips a bit warmer.

"First year students!! Now listen. The Sorting hat will be placed on your head and he will tell you your house and you are to report straight to your tables. Usually, the Sorting Hat would sing a song, but after a few…mishaps…" She stared at a few sopping wet children, " we have no time." Hermione moved out of he way and the children walked in.
Professor McGonangall stood next to a stool with a hat on it and un-rolled a long piece of parchment.
The First name called was " Alderman, Taylor!"
"*Ah, hello, new blood here! You are straight out of London yourself. Your family has mostly gone to another school, I see, Durmstrang you say. Well, Peachy Keen,. That helps…SLYTHERIN!!!!" Great applause erupted from the table draped in green.
A few names then . "Finnigan, Stephanie!!!"
"Ahh, your father was a Gryffindor, though he didn't find it exciting. I'm guessing you want excitement…well, then, welcome to…SLYTHERIN!!!"
Again, tremendous applause from the green table…more applause, more names then…" Potter, Alan!"
"Ahh…another Potter. Your sister is Slytherin…care being with her….no, OK then...GRYFFINDOR!!"
"Smithson, Mark!"
"GRYFFINDOR!!"
"Weasley, Angel"
"GRYFFINDOR!!"
"Weasley, Gemini!"
"SLYTHERIN!!"
"Zambini, Isaac!!"
"SLYTHERIN!"
"Zambini, Maria!"
"GRYFFINDOR"
*-*-*
"Gemini! Welcome to Slytherin!" Violet said, while meeting each of her friends.
"And this is Zack Zambini, his twin sister, Maria is over in Gryffindor."
"Wait, Zack as in Isaac Zambini?" Troy asked, and Tawny looked over, stunned.
"Yeah, why?" he asked.
"My name is Troy Malfoy and this is my sister, Tawny. I'm your brother."
