"Shhhh!" Kyndall said pushing a hand over his mouth, "Everyone already knows that!" Megan giggled.

"I think we need to help you," Sadie said, grabbing his arm and leading him down a hall. People pointed and laughed as the odd group passed. They steered Harry to the end of the hall then turned him through heavy, metal double doors. They were in a large stairwell.

"Listen," Sadie said turning to him, "You have to be at least acceptably normal in public."

"JUST TELL ME WHERE WE ARE!" Harry yelled his voice echoing through the empty room.

"You're at school!" Megan said yet again.

"First Colony Middle School, Sugar Land, Texas, The United States of America, PLANET EARTH!" Kyndall said slowly.

"United States?" Harry looked alarmed again.

"Didn't you notice?" Sadie asked.

"No! You guys had those really-funky-but British accents!"

"Hey, we actually fooled-?"Kyndall began excitedly, but Megan cut her off.

"You're really from England?" Megan asked.

"Yes!" Harry said a bit hysterical.

Kyndall smiled, as did Sadie, and then Megan slipped into a wide grin, too.

"Ok," Sadie said still grinning, "We believe you're from England, but what's your real name?"

"Harry Potter!" Harry replied, exasperated.

"OK, OK, OK! Whatever! Let's just fix you up for school," Kyndall said, calming Harry down.

"Bu this is my school uni-wait! This is a muggle school! Right!" (Harry's slow)

"Great work, detective!" Megan said sarcastically, at the same time as Sadie said, "This school is crawling with muggles!"

"Then how did you know, are you witches?" Harry questioned.

"Course we are!" Megan said, smiling evermore widely.

"I need your help then-"Harry began seriously.

"We noticed." Kyndall said looking Harry over, "Here." She pulled Harry's robes off and threw them in the corner under the stairs. She pulled his sweater vest off and yanked off his tie. All he had on now were his khaki and neat white shirt. Sadie rolled the sleeves back and unbuttoned the first button.

"Cover your ta-scar." Kyndall said, pushing down his hair. It sort of  worked; you could only see it if you knew it was there.

"I guess that'll do." Megan said looking him over.

"Ew….he looks all preppy…" Kyndall said quietly to Sadie.

"Ok, now just act like-like-like a muggle." Sadie said.

"OK, but what are we going to-" Harry asked, taking his wand out of his robes and secretly shoving it into his specially lengthened pant pocket.

"Don't worry; we'll help you get around." Megan said, trying to reassure him. Harry opened his mouth to protest then shut it again, telling himself, "I'll just play along until I can find a way out."

"OK." Harry said following them out back into the hall. They reached the "commons" as Megan called it and sat down at a table one away from the lunch lines. There were 4 girls already there. At first they all stared at him strangely with oddly misplaced worried looks on, then one with curly brown hair and an extremely bright pink retainer.

"Hi!" she said enthusiastically.

"Oooo…a new person! Nice to meet you!" another girl with curly brown hair and this time glasses and a smile brighter then any Harry had ever seen. She seemed to be continually bouncing, as if she had too much energy to contain.

'This is Harry, guys!" Kyndall said seating him between Megan and Sadie. The girl with the retainer made another deeply worried face, as if questioning all of their sanity.

"Sadie?" she began worriedly, but then she seemed to think better of this and put on a smile, "I thought you were Harry!"

"Alas, but his real name is Harry!" Sadie said holding up a finger and trying to keep the boy's true insanity a secret by hiding it with hers. The third girl with straight short brown hair and another pair of glasses opened her mouth but closed it at the look the other girls were giving her. (Gosh a lot of glasses, 5 I think…two girls at the table, Kyndall and Sadie, and Harry! HA! I talk too much…)

"I'm Tarah!" The girl with curly brown hair and glasses announced.

"I'm Karen." The short brown haired one said.

"And Mesa Caity!" the girl with the bright pink retainer said with another gigantic smile. These girls laughed and smiled way too much.

"Hi." Harry said weakly trying to hide his accent. He was afraid of what might happen if the others heard it. Just then ANOTHER girl with short brown hair came over.

"Hullo Lizzy!" they chimed trying to sound British, but he was glad to hear she, at least, had a genuine English accent with a hint of Texan.

"Hullo, guess what guys? THIS BIRD IS DEAD!" Harry jumped slightly in alarm. The others joined in, "IT IS NO MORE! IT HAS CEASED TO BE!" they banged their fists on the table and then yelled into them, "HULLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Apparently this was an inside joke. (Monty Python if any of you care to know, just thought I might throw in an odd inside joke! Ha...oops lost control again…)

Yet again, more people were staring at them. The girls broke into laughter.

"Ah…yea…so anyways, Lizzy, you might want to sit own, Mr. Keys will be releasing us soon." Tarah said pointing to a man in a tie with a microphone. He kept yelling things in a strong Texas accent like, "If you're standing, you're wrong, get right!"

"Oh, right!" Lizzy said scurrying off to a seat.

"1st ROW!" Mr. Keys yelled and the row next to them stood up and left, talking loudly.

"Trash duty!" the girls said shoving all their trash onto Karen's lunch tray.

"Happy Birthday!" Sadie added throwing on a forgotten banana peel.

"Thanks, I'm honored." Karen said sarcastically.

"2nd ROW!" Mr. Keys called and everyone at the long table stood and left.

"Dang it! We didn't get to eat anything!" Kyndall said angrily.

"Don't tell my mom, she'll alter my plan." Megan said flatly, gathering up her books.

"Megan's mom likes to put her on insane fitness plans." Kyndall explained.

"They're not really insane…just slightly unrealistic," Megan corrected in her professional manner, "Well, anyway, I think Harry should come with me and Sadie to English." They began walking back out into the hall.

"That sounds OK, what'd you think, Harry?" Kyndall asked turning to Harry.

"Sure." Harry said, having no clue what to do. He followed Megan and Sadie back into the hall, but this time they turned down another hall and ended up with a herd of kids waiting outside a door.

"What exactly are we doing?" Harry asked.

"We already told you, going to class." Megan answered.

"Oh." Harry said, questions pounding in his mind.

"Mrs. Hartgrove is always late." Sadie said pounding her head against a window on the wall that looked into an office with several teachers sitting in it. A lady inside waved her hand at Sadie and pointed to the book she was reading.

"Sure, finish your book; at least it's a good book." Sadie said with a sigh. Harry looked at the lady inside; she was a bit taller then Sadie, probably about 6 foot. She had her nose stuck in a large hard cover booked titled Har- no wait. Harry had read it wrong, he had thought for a second it had said….Harry Potter!

****Another great place to end. Sorry these are short, but stories tend to take longer to write when you have to write it with someone else.
