Chapter 2 New Students
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When professor Dumbledore walked out of the school the next day all of the students were lined up to receive the students from the Wizarding Institute of Chicago, though the Slytherin's looked rather displeased about having to welcome Americans.
At 12:00 the Hogwarts students started to look for the new comers.
At 12:05 they started talking amongst themselves.
At 12:10 professor McGonangall started to worry
At 12:11 a woman walked out of thin air. About a hundred and fifty students followed her. The WIC students wore khaki pants (some of the girls wore khaki pants, some wore khaki skirts) and white button up shirts, with long silver velvet hooded cloaks. One of the girls turned around and the Hogwarts students saw a huge orange and blue dragon emblazoned on the back of the cloak. Each student had a small brown leather backpack and between every two students a trunk with an animal cage or two on top was carried.
The WIC students stopped about 30 ft from the Hogwarts students, and then they did something that, to the Hogwarts students, was very odd. They set down their trunks and bags and fell into straight lines with their hands behind their back and their heads up. They didn't talk. They didn't move. The just stopped and stood there.
The woman walked straight up to professor Dumbledore and started explaining their tardiness.
"Nonsense Professor Fox!" Dumbledore smiled " We are just happy that you and your students arrived without trouble. Now which student is the one you said is in charge?"
"Ah yes." Professor Fox turned and addressed her students, "Ms. Caplan. Please come here." One of the older girls fell out and walked up to the professors. "Professor Dumbledore this is the Mirkwood house captain, Ms. Callista Caplan. She knows the house rules and how to set everything up. She is in charge of the students, rather like your prefects. I'm terribly sorry but I have to run, two other houses to transport you know."
"Yes yes. Thank you, it can all be handled from here" Dumbledore said waving her off. Before he could talk to Callista though, she turned to her housemates and issued a command at which the rest of the students bowed to their professor as she left. The students then returned to their attention position.
"Sorry headmaster." Callista said turning back around to face Dumbledore. "You were saying?"
"Welcome to the Hogwarts. I have discussed it with the other professors and have decided to allow you to set up your dorms and common room as you please. Madame Hooch" Dumbledore pointed out said teacher, "Will be your acting head of house. Do you have any questions?"
"No that sounds just fine headmaster." Callista smiled.
"Please call me professor Dumbledore. Now lets eat shall we?"
Callista issued an order and her fellow housemates fell out of their lines, picked up their stuff, and marched up to the school behind her.
"Wow" professor McGonangall said to Madame Hooch "They're impressive. I wonder if we can get the WIC students to teach our students how to do that."

AN: Sorry the last two chapters were short, but that just seemed like a good place to stop. Oh and the WIC students won't always be so militaristic. That will be explained later though. Please review and tell me what you think.
