A/N: I am started this right after the last chapter. I hope to get it finished and upload two chapters but that is very doubtful. I saw X2 earlier this week. It was awesome. I liked the guy that played Iceman; he is so hot… but anyway… Sorry I left a cliffhanger in the last chapter.

"… SLYTHERIN!!!" the hat yelled. Draco and Jake were clapping along with the Slytherin table. Harry, Ron, and Hermione were happy that she wasn't in Gryffindor. April was happy for her sister, but she was getting nervous for herself.
"Blackstream, April." April walked up to the hat. All eyes were staring at her. She walked slowly to the stool with the hat on it.
"Yeah, April! You can do it!" April heard Autumn scream from the Slytherin table. April looked over and saw Autumn, Draco, and Jake cheering her on. April smiled at them and picked up the hat to sit down.
She placed the hat on her head. "Well, what have we here. April, you show qualities equal to each different house. I don't know where to place you. I must talk with Professor Dumbledore." The hat did something and soon Professor Dumbledore was over talking to the hat. April was getting real nervous because people started to wonder what was wrong. People were pointing and whispering to each other. Autumn was talking intently to Draco and Jake was looking at her trying to say that it was going to be okay.
Dumbledore was talking quietly with the sorting hat. They seemed to be arguing over something. After a few minutes, the hat spoke to everyone. "I would like to say that Miss Blackstream has been very difficult to place. After much thought and consulting with the headmaster, I have made my decision. This school will have another house. April Blackstream will be the first person in the house so it will be named after her. Blackstream will have a new dormitory next year and students will be sorted in there. For now, April will have her own everything. Her house will not however, have a Quidditch team yet for her house is six students short of a team and next year there will be only first years. So for a few years there will be no Quidditch. That is all I have to say." Everyone was stunned. People just looked at April as if she grew another head with bright rainbow hair.
"Miss Blackstream, please find a seat at any table for now. We won't make you sit by yourself. I will also help you make your schedule for the school year. I'm sure we'll think of something," Dumbledore said placing a hand on April's shoulder. April came down the steps from the front of the Great Hall and went to sit with Jake, Autumn, and Draco. She heard everyone starting to whisper about her again and stare at her as the food appeared on the table.
"Why do I have to always be different?" April said holding back tears as the food appeared on her gold plate.
"You're special. You get a Hogwarts house named after you. No one at this school has that. No one in 1000 years has had that. You are so lucky, and I love you for that," Jake said snaking his arm around her waist.
"You're just saying that. I hate being different. I was at my last school and now my first day here and I am different again," April said starting to cry.
"It's okay, I really mean what I said. Please, it's okay," Jake said as he pulled April into his chest to cry.
"What does she mean by she was different at her old school too?" Draco asked Autumn as he was eating.
"I don't know if I should tell you here. I'll tell you later. April, you can stay in the Slytherin dorm tonight if you want, or we can camp-out in your dorm," Autumn said picking at her food.
"I don't care. I have to stay here after the feast anyway. So, if you want to stay, then stay," April mumbled into Jake's chest.
The feast ended and dessert began and ended. April didn't eat anything, and Autumn didn't eat anything she didn't know what it was. Soon, all the students walked out of the Great Hall, after passing April and talking quietly about her on their way out. April, Jake, Draco, and Autumn were still seated as the four head of the original houses and Dumbledore walked up to them.
"So, April, have you decided on what you would like to do?" Dumbledore asked kindly.
"I don't know what I am deciding on," April said sniffling.
"Do you want your own dorm this year? It includes a bathroom and common room. You also must decide which house you would like to spend your classes with, but with the looks of it right now, I'd say you would want to say with Slytherins," Dumbledore said with a twinkle in his eyes.
"She could be in Slytherin classes. It wouldn't be much different if she were in another class. She already knows Draco and Jake and our newest Slytherin, Autumn. She would feel better," a greasy, oily black-haired teacher said. April and Autumn assumed that he was the head of the Slytherin house.
"That is true, Severus. Although, she needs to figure this out on her own. April?" Dumbledore said turning back to April.
"I… I don't know… I want to stay with my friends, but I'm sure Slytherin's won't be too happy with me. I was wondering if they could stay with me. If they could be in my dorm with me so I won't be alone…" April said nervously.
"I'm sure we could figure something out. So you do want to be with Slytherin's in class? Okay, we can arrange that. Now if you follow me, I will show you all your new dorm," Dumbledore said and started to walk out the door.
Jake gave April a look along with Autumn and April just shrugged and followed the extremely old man. They followed him towards the dungeons when he abruptly stopped in front of a picture of a young girl that looked very familiar and she was holding a fox. "Good evening, Albus. What can I do for you tonight?" the young woman asked politely. The fox jumped from her grasp and started to pace the painting back and forth.
"I need to use your common room from now on. We have a new house at Hogwarts," the old headmaster explained.
"I knew there would be. I feel so lucky to finally be used as a schoolhouse. So, what is the mascot?" the portrait asked excitedly.
"I'm not sure yet Sarah." Dumbledore turned to April, "April, what would you like your mascot to be?"
April started to think hard. What she really wanted was a mythical being for a mascot, mainly a white/silver dragon. It would fit every category as well; they are brave, yet humble, and sly, yet also extremely intelligent. She also started to think of other animals while she told everyone of a suggestion. "I was thinking about a dragon, but I highly doubt that you would let me have a dragon for a mascot. So I've decided on an arctic fox." The fox in the painting turned a stunning white/silver color.
"That is quite acceptable. I shall notify the teachers tomorrow morning. The four of you may stay here for the year if you would like. You will have to think of a password. For tonight, your password will be zany zephyr. Think of one by tomorrow and I will change it for you. Good night and have a nice rest for you start classes in three days." Dumbledore walked away as the portrait stayed open because Dumbledore said the password.
"Are you going in or not?" Sarah asked picking up the now arctic fox.
"Yes, and thank you." April pulled Jake through the portrait hole and into the common room.
Autumn pulled Draco in after April and Jake and stepped into the common room. It was large oval shaped room with a fireplace in the middle of the far wall. There were three doors that led out of the common room. One sign said, 'bathrooms', the others were a boy's dorm and a girl's dorm. There were black leather couches along with black oval shaped chairs that rotate around. The colors of the walls were a dark burgundy, a dark purple/blue, and silver. April and Jake first went into the boy's dorm. There were two beds in a huge room with a fireplace on one side of the room. The sheets were black silk with black and silver comforters on top. They were canopy beds and had black and silver curtains for privacy. The carpet was a dark burgundy. April liked the room and wanted to wait to see the girl's dorm before choosing which room she wanted to choose to stay in. They started to head to the girl's dorm while Autumn and Draco went to check out the boy's dorm. As Jake and April walked into the girl's dorm, April disliked it automatically. It was a dark pink and purple. April automatically walked out of the dorm and into the bathroom. The bathroom had black sinks, shower, and bathtub. There were three mirrors and the walls were dark burgundy. The shower curtain was a dark purple/blue and silver. April went back to the boy's dormitories and laid down on one of the beds.
"I claim this room to be mine," April said to Autumn and Draco as Jake walked into the room.
"I don't think so. I am not sleeping in a pink room," Jake said sitting down on the same bed that April was laying on.
"Dumbass, she means that you and her are calling this room. That means that we have to have the 'pink' room," Autumn said rolling her eyes and saying pink in disgust.
"Oh… ha, you get the pink room," Jake taunted Draco and Autumn.
Draco pulled out his wand and said a few words. Autumn started to laugh as April started to back away giggling at Jake. Jake gets up and looks in the mirror to see his hair a bright pink. "That's not funny Draco. Change it back. You can just change the color of the pink in the room. April picked this room, not me." Jake started to walk toward Draco trying to be threatening.
"Okay, fine." Draco reversed the spell and started laughing again. "You have to admit though, it was funny."
"No, it wasn't. Now please get to your own room because I'm tired, and we have to get up early tomorrow without coffee… I will get my coffee," April said sleepily.
"Sure, April. Whatever you say," Autumn said taking Draco with her toward the door.
"Damn right I am," April said closing her eyes as Autumn and Draco walked out the door.
"April, you might want to change out of your clothes and into pajamas," Jake laughed as he stroked her hair.
"No… I don't wanna," April whined.
"April, dear, you have to. Come on, let's get ready for bed," Jake said trying to get April out of bed.
"I don't wanna!" April whined again hitting Jake's chest and arms.
"Ouch, April, come on. Get ready now," Jake said rubbing his arms.
"I said I don't wanna!" April yelled tackling Jake and rolling off the bed. Jake was taken by surprise and landed on the floor hard with April on top of him. April took advantage of the moment and kissed Jake deeply.
"What was that all about?" Jake asked once he regained his breath.
"Because…" April said.
Jake kissed April this time and started to lift up her shirt. April kissed back and quickly pulled Jake's shirt over his head. They had to break their kiss for a quick second, while each of them lost their shirts. April was in her black satin bra and Jake had nothing on his chest. April ran her hands up and down his stomach while Jake started to place kisses down her jaw line.
"We have to stop," April said breathing heavily.
"Yes, we do, but I don't want to," Jake said looking up at April.
"I know, but we have to…" April said trying to get up from Jake's bare stomach, but found that she was being held there.
"I wish we could continue. I wish we were alone, by ourselves with no obligations to anything for a while," Jake said having one of his hands stroking April's back.
"I wish that too, but that won't happen for a while. Might as well get ready for bed then," April said taking Jake's hands off her back. She got off Jake's stomach and searched for her pajamas. She put them on while Jake sat up and watched her change. He then took off his pants and put on a pair of flannel pants. They walked to the bathroom together and opened the door.
They found Autumn and Draco together. Autumn was without her shirt and almost out of her pants. Draco was only in his boxers. Autumn was sitting on top of the sink. They were groping and kissing each other. April turned away quickly so as to not get sick. Autumn heard the door open while Draco was kissing her stomach. Autumn pushed Draco away and put on her shirt quickly. Draco looked up to see April's head buried into Jake's chest and a shocked look on Jake's face along with disgust.
"Sorry. We were uh, just getting ready for bed…" Draco said awkwardly.
"Next time you want to do something like this do it in your own room," Jake said stroking April's hair.
"Thanks for the tip. I guess we will be leaving now," Draco said taking Autumn toward the door.
After they left the bathroom and closed the door, April pulled away from Jake. "Why did they have to do that here?" April sobbed splashing water on her face.
"That could have been us. They just got caught in the moment," Jake said wisely.
"Can we just stop talking about it and go to bed?" April said drying off her face.

Autumn and Draco walk back into the once pink and purple room with is now green, silver, and black. Autumn sat down on one of the beds and put her head in her hands.
"What's wrong?" Draco asked sitting down next to her.
"I can't believe April walked in. I can't believe we were that stupid to get lost in our emotions and hormones. I can't believe this," Autumn started to cry.
"It's okay. We were stupid. We will learn from our mistake. Please stop crying," Draco said. I hate when people cry. Damnit, how can I make her stop crying?
"Can we just go to sleep?" Autumn asked sniffling.
"Of course we can. Don't worry about it. April will forgive you, but I don't know if Jake will forgive me right now," Draco said getting into the now king sized bed instead of the two smaller beds.
"What would I do without you?" Autumn asked kissing Draco before getting into the covers of the bed and turning away from him and going to sleep.
