We filed slowly off of the train. The wind hit us and the temperature
seemed to drop ten degrees. Julia and Carrie began to shiver. I started to
take off my cloak and wrap it around Julia who was right in front of me,
but all of a sudden she took of ahead of us, arms crossed to keep herself
warm.
I put my cloak back on and a hand came down on my shoulder.
"Don't worry 'bout it man. Somethin' is up with her, but as always she'll be fine in a bit," George whispered in my ear.
Beginning to say something I changed my mind and just nodded. Carrie looped her arm through mine and held it tight. I took my cloak off again and wrapped it around her instead. It would keep her warm and get her off of me.
The first years were herded off by Hagrid and as I watched, Justin turned to look at me. He gulped, turning rather pale. Next to him was Ron, who was also turning a shade of white. Fred, George and I saluted to them, making ourselves look like idiots, but this was to funny to pass up. Justin and Ron turned back around and continued down the dock. The Weasleys, Carrie and I continued down the platform and the twins and I burst out laughing.
Carrie looked at us curiously, "What is sooo funny?"
Fred laughed even harder, "We told them-- we told them--" But that was as far as he ever got.
George tried to finish. "We told them-- that they have to--" And he proceeded no further.
It was up to me once more to finish what they could not. I tried to stop laughing to no avail. However, I did manage to explain what was going on. "We told them-- that to be sorted-- they have to-- have to-- wrestle a troll--" Then the laughter took back over.
Carrie shook her head, but couldn't help it either. By the time we got to the coaches we were in a silent fit of giggles.
"What? Did the tickle charm I threw at you in my sleep work?"
We spun around, the laughs ending. Carrie let out a "here we go again" as we came face to face with the two people we didn't want to see. One had dark hair with grey eyes and the other had blonde hair and brown eyes, unfortunately for them, both Slytherins.
"What do you want Hereti?" leered George.
Thomas Hereti grinned, "Just checking on how the mudblood-lovers' summer went Weasley."
Right as this happened, many thoughts shot through my head, 'We don't need to get in trouble before the term starts' and 'oh heck why not?' claimed the top two slots.
But right now, George decided to rid Hogwarts of Thomas forever, and, forgetting he had a wand, lunged for him. Fred and I each grabbed an arm, trying once more not to get expelled before we could fully cause mayhem at school. While we were doing this, Carrie whipped her wand out and pointed it threateningly at the blonde next to Thomas.
"Vespertilio!'
Ana was thrown back off her feet as a ray of yellow light struck her across the left side of her face with an incredible amount of force and Thomas, who was about to hex Fred, George and I, paused to look at Ana as if surveying the damage. She ignored him however and ran toward the carriages. Now even more cocky and frustrated, Thomas turned his wand on all four of us, and was about to do his worst when-
"That wouldn't be so smart Hereti, not even for a Slytherin."
Thomas's grin only became more evil, thinking of even a worse curse, "How wonderful for you to join us Potter. I'm about to curse your friends here beyond any help, I'm glad you could join."
Julia smiled slightly, stepping between George's rage filled-- but restrained-- self, and Thomas's wand. "Perhaps you didn't hear me: That isn't the smartest thing to do at the moment."
"Oh really? Why not?"
"First off, there are five of us, and since Ana is probably finding to quickest route to the hospital wing, there is one of you. Second, as powerful of a spell you can work up, we can do that times five. And, last but not least, there is a prefect standing right behind you, ready to report you to Snape, McGonagall, and anyone else he deems worthy of knowing."
"C'mon Potter, you actually expect me to fall for that?"
"Even if she doesn't, I do." Percy had grabbed Thomas by the robes, and was hauling him toward the school before Thomas had a clue of what was happening.
Maybe Percy being made a prefect wasn't all that bad after all.
Julia turned around to look at us, "Are you guys coming or getting us all expelled?"
Fred let go of George, who was speechless, and wrapped an arm around Julia, "Well, we were planning on getting expelled, but that was until you came along. Now, we are coming."
Carrie pushed George's mouth closed, and grabbing me by one arm and George by the other, whisked us off to the carriages behind Julia and Fred.
Before long we were to the carriages, and Fred jumped ahead of Julia to open the door for her. She climbed in and Carrie after her. Fred followed Carrie, closing the door behind him. Only after I reminded him that the survival of our toilet war relied on the fact that we all made it to school would he open the door to let George and I in.
Fred sat next to Julia, his arm wrapped around her, and she leaned her head against his shoulder as if she was very tired all of the sudden. I sat across from her, and was about to ask her if she was okay, when Carrie plopped next to me and George on the other side of her.
The carriage headed toward school, making sure to hit every bump along the way. The one lantern in the carriage went out, but we didn't need to see anything anyway, so we left it alone.
Soon the carriage came to a halt, and we climbed back out. Fred was standing next to Julia still. But, as we waited, George decided to join in the fun. He went over and wrapped his arm around Julia, pulling her away from Fred. Well, Fred didn't take to it too hot. He looked daggers at George and they started shoving each other back and forth.
I stepped forward, pulling Julia back and looked at Carrie, "you might want to step in there, they are not going to listen to me right now."
Carrie nodded, smiled and stepped between the two of them wand in hand, and started sending little hexes at each, starting with George.
Fred wrapped his arm around Carrie, "See, Carrie loves me."
"I do-- but no" and she shocked his foot with a point of her wand.
As Fred massaged his foot, George wrapped his arm around Carrie, "See Fred, I beat you again."
"Says who?" retaliated Fred.
"Carrie said so!"
"I said no such thing!"
"Did so!"
"Did not!"
"See George, she doesn't."
"She does!"
"No I don't!"
Julia looked at me, "C'mon. Let's go get seats before all the good ones are taken. If we stay to watch this we won't all get to sit together."
"Good idea. Should we tell them where we are going so they don't worry that we were taken hostage by Slytherins or something?"
She smiled slightly, "Not that that would happen or anything, but yea, we should. Hey Carrie!" she called, "tell the redheads that we went to get some seats."
Carrie was busy making sure that the twins knew she wasn't in love with them, but we guess she heard.
Julia and I made our way through the Hallway and into the Great Hall. Boy, did it feel good to be back.
A/N~ So here you go. sorry it took so long to post this. I had a major case of writer's block.
Quiet One~ Thank you sooooo much for beta reading this!
One last thing. I've figured something out. My brain is like lightning: One brilliant flash and it's gone.
