CHAPTER 4: THE BOTTEMLESS PITS AND AN OPENING FEAST
A/N: Obviously I don't own any of these; otherwise I wouldn't be sitting here writing this. Anything from the Harry Potter series that I have borrowed comes from J.K Rowling belongs to J.K Rowling, (obviously) so don't sue! Anyway, here's chapter 4( Hope you like it!

After a considerable amount of heaving, rearranging, grabbing, and a certain amount of dropping and crashing noises, they group had all managed to grab there stuff and make there way to the outside of the train. Dragging there stuff along behind them they all paused a moment to look at the school that they would call home for a year. They were all thinking about how beautiful and grand it was when a loud voice interrupted them,
"Firs' years, c'mon now, firs' years, this way!" Rubeus Hagrid, the gamekeeper, shouted.
"Hey, Hagrid!" shouted James, jumping over the heads in the crowd and giving him a quick wave before being carried away with the sea of students. Hagrid smiled, and then went back to his duties.
The group split into two in order to fit in the carriages, plus the fact that they were in danger of being separated between masses of people anyway. James, Sirius, Caitie and Cailie were in one while the rest had piled into the second one.
"Hey, Smiley, can you see those things? The...uhh.what are they called? Thestrals? Can you see them?" asked Cailie in a French accent that was barely distinguishable, but her friend had gotten used to it over the years and replied nonchalantly,
"Nope, can't see 'em, and I'd rather not, s'all good here for now." Cailie winced slightly at her fall into a New York sort of slang but just nodded,
"Me neither, and like you said, I am glad."
"God, when are we going to get there? I'm so freaking' hungry!" bellowed Sirius, adjusting himself so he could look out the front of the carriage to see where they were.
"Calm down, Padfoot, we're both hungry, but there is no need to scare these two lovely ladies with our never-ending food consuming habits," said James smoothly, smiling at the corners of his mouth. Sirius growled in a rather dog-like manner but sat back down just the same and the two girls smiled teasingly.
They arrived at the entrance hall, Sirius still muttering under his breath, and they entered the building happily. Caitie smiled in awe,
"There is no place like home," and sighed happily.
They re-united with the rest of the gang and entered the Great Hall, only to be separated again to go to there separate tables.
The Sorting Hat had sung it's song and sorted the newcomers into the proper houses, and by the time the food was served, the girls could honestly say that they were also hungry.
"So, they've all obviously grown hotter over the year, I mean, did you see those washboard abs on Sirius? And those muscles on James! And My God, Remus' sooo toned!" proclaimed Ashley rather loudly, and she attracted a few stares, but by the look on all the girls' faces, she was obviously not wrong. Caitie followed her gaze over to the four, who were stuffing themselves with such an indecency that she had to turn away.
"My question is, how do keep those figures with all that eating? They're like friggin' bottomless pits!" Jessi nodded at her friend's comment, scrunching up her nose slightly, but Cailie stared at Caitie looking rather bemused,
"Bottomless pits? What is that supposed to mean?" Realization dawned on the girls' faces and Caitie quickly explained the term to her French friend,
"It means you can eat however much you want and still continue to look sexy."
"Ahh.I wish I could be a.bottomless pit," she said and they all laughed.
Meanwhile, at the Gryffindor table.
"Hey, Prongs, it looks like the girls are staring at us again, although I can't see how I blame them," Sirius said, nodding towards the Ravenclaw table. James wasn't even paying attention, though, he was staring yearningly toward the other end of the table, where Lily and her friends were sitting, chatting. Sirius looked at where he was looking and just rolled his eyes and turned back to his plate.
