Chapter five – Train of events!

A/N: This chapter has been updated and is now a bit longer and includes the whole train ride! Hope you like…

"Uhh… I still don't know how you know my name…" Harry asked Orion, still not having gotten a real answer out of him.

"Hmm… what?"  He responded, eyes darting around. Avoiding the question it seemed.

"I said how…"

"Come on guys, this one is free!"

"Keen observation Sis! Really, you should be a Seeker…"

"Shut up – at least I found a compartment without manic giggling girls… "

Harry stared dumfounded at the two siblings, and their heated sarcasm filled discussion about something as stupid as an empty compartment.  He ran a hand through his hair, still bewildered by the crazy things these two had accomplished since he first met them. And considering that he had only known them for about twenty minutes that was saying something.

"Your just mad because one of them thought I looked cute…" Orion responded, not really sounding like he himself thought it was a good argument.

Andy rolled her eyes. "Please…" she huffed. "Look at me, I'm a blond little bimbo…" she continued in a mock high pinched voice. "Uhh… A boy actually came to my compartment oh I'm so happy…" She was now fluttering her eyelashes and making faces.

'She actually looks quite cute when she does that' Harry thought, briefly before shaking the rather strange thought from his mind. Cute? Harry shuddered involuntarily.

"Shut up Andromeda!" Orion yelled back, using his sister's full name just to annoy her. And he succeeded.

Andy whipped out her wand it a blink of an eye – sending her twin a stare too cold for the grave. Her brother had obviously sensed this coming and he too took duel position, wand held high.

Harry didn't even have time to admire their swiftness as he drew his own. He had to break this up before they hexed each other.

Before he even muttered a word the two turned on him with odd looks on their faces. All of the sudden they seemed completely relaxed as if they had been reading a book for the last five minutes, instead of yelling each others heads of. 'What's going on here?'

"What's with the face and the wand mate?" Orion asked, slight amusement evident in his voice. A small smile was playing on his face.

Suddenly Andy burst out laughing. Harry actually took a step back. Sure these two seemed nice enough, but lets face it he didn't know them. And right now they were acting like maniacs.

"Don't worry about it Harry…" Orion continued, moving close to Andy placing his arm around her shoulders. They smiled.

"Yeah don't worry… We do this all the time!" Andy explained shrugging. "I guess it's a brother / sister thing…"

Ten minutes later, as they had finally settled down in the empty compartment and after a long speech on sibling life – Harry finally couldn't fight his curiousness.

"How come you guys knew who I was before we even spoke?" he blurted out.

Orion, who sat next to him turned and faced him with a strange smile. Out of the corner of his eye Harry could see Andy do the same thing from the other side of the table.

"Everyone knows the famous Harry Potter…" Orion started in a mock shocked voice.

"The slayer of evil, the bane of the dark, the champion of light, the…"

"Yeah yeah… Knock it of!" Harry snapped, his ears burning with embarrassment. He hated when people did that. Turned him into something he wasn't, for something he couldn't even remember.

"I don't really like to talk about it…"

The twins smiled sadly and nodded. Although they of course wanted to know all about Harry, now as they were so persistent to be his friends, they realized that this weren't really the time.

Nervous silence had fallen upon their compartment and neither spoke a word for several minutes. Until,

"Hey guys… We got to plan the prank!" Orion suddenly remarked. He rose from his seat and started frantically searching through his stuff.

Harry turned to Andy expecting an explanation or similar, but instead saw her eyes look like Christmas candles. Then she too began searching for through her bag, throwing out random things.

"Eh guys… wha…"

But he didn't finish as a heavy brown leather bag hid him square on the nose and he fell as long as he was.

"Uh… Sorry 'bout that Harry!" Orion quickly apologized, removing the bag and placing it on the table with the other stuff they had found.

Orion extended a hand to Harry and helped him of the floor, giving an apologetic shrug. Harry readjusted his glasses, and for the first time he got a real good look at all the stuff the twins had brought forth.

Everything from strange glass balls filled with some sort of mysterious liquid to parchments draw drew their own sketches. There were vials and potions, near invisible robes, a very orange frog, some sort of gum and a half-eaten chocolate frog.

"Ups… Forget where I put that!" Orion exclaimed, quickly stuffing the rest of the frog in his mouth.

"Eww… bro that's just disgusting!"  Andy said, giving her brother a disapproving look that just made him shrug and smile.

"Anyway, Harry – this is "the Winter Twin's ultimate Prank Gear", we just call it Winter T.U.P but I guess we have to change that now when you are with us!" She went into a thoughtful trance moment and Harry seized his opportunity.

"Why are you the Winter twins? Were you born in January?" He asked confused, causing Andy to instantly go into a fit a giggles.

"No silly, Winter is our last name!" they answered in unison, causing them to laugh even more. Even Harry had to laugh at his own lack of knowledge of his new friends. 

Ten minutes later, when they had finally pulled themselves together, and after Andy had bought them some lunch from the food trolley they settled down at the table.

"Ok… We need a big prank… and I don't mean big like an elephant, no I mean big… huge… spectacular…  amazing…"

"Yeah yeah sis, I think we get it!"

Harry just smiled. For some strange reason he had always thought that he was the only one into pranks, and suddenly out of the blue comes two people, pranksters at heart – and visions beyond the possible.

"So, got any ideas Harry?"

Another type of smile crept on the young boy with glasses face. A very mischievous smile that was so unlike his happy boyish features - yet seemed to suit him perfectly.

"Well, I was thinking something with color!"

* * *

"Okay… The plan is DONE!" Orion exclaimed as he rubbed his hands and smiled menacingly. Suddenly he started laughing with a fake, deep hollow laughter.

It took several minutes of odd stares to stop him, and even then he was still chuckling. He whipped the laughter tears from his eyes and looked up – a happy, content smile on his face.

"Eh… Bro! What in Merlin's name was that?" Andy questioned, voicing Harry's thoughts.

Orion just stared at them as if they had grown a troll head on their shoulder. Then he gasped in mock surprise.

"You mean you don't know the secret plan laugh?" he exclaimed in horror, and leaned really close to Harry – staring him straight in the eyes. Harry began laughing, and he could see Orion had a hard time keeping his face straight. Then he laughed too.

Besides them Andy was shaking her head disapprovingly, rolling her eyes. "Honestly Ori, sometimes you scare me more than that horrible picture of uncle's!"

Orion stopped laughing immediately, biting his lower lip – trembling it, pretending to be crying. "Now sis… that's just mean you…"

The door to their compartment suddenly opened, and all eyes were suddenly on a pale faced boy with blond sleek hair, flanked by two very big and very dumb looking boys.

The blond boy with the arrogant smile on his face stepped in, uninvited, and for some reason his presence made Harry close his hands around his wand in his back pocket. It was his attitude you could call it – as if he owned the place or something. Out of the corner of his eye he could see Orion do the same thing. Calm down Harry! He thought to himself. Maybe they just want to say hallo…

But even as he thought it, it sounded … well, not right.

"Who are you?" Andy questioned as rude as possible, breaking the silence.

Harry turned to see that she too had her wand ready. In the back of his mind, and even though he himself had it ready, he wondered why they would be so battle ready. He saw a small smile forming at the ends of Andy lips, and Orion was grinning openly.

Then again, maybe they were just like that… Harry thought, and then corrected it. Then again, maybe WE are just like that…

For some reason, for the first time he felt like he actually 'belonged' with someone besides his family. Maybe he had friends. Maybe.

The thought alone made him smile, and the pale boy was now facing three crazy smiling 'maniacs'!

Although it seemed to effect him a little that they all smiled strangely, he quickly recovered and returned his snobbish face to neutral.

"I'm looking for Harry Potter…" he glanced briefly at Orion, and then focused his un-friendly gaze on Harry. "I was told that he was in this compartment…"

Orion made a strange dog like growling noise, like a dog do when it faces someone it doesn't like. If the blond kid heard it, he made no move to show it.

"I'm Harry Potter…" Harry finally said, hoping to ease some of the tension. The blond kid put on a fake smile, and extended his hand slowly. As if it was actually something he didn't do often and that Harry should feel gracious for it.

 "My name is Malfoy, Draco Malfoy!" he stated sounding real proud. Orion snorted loudly and looking on the edge of laughing out loud. Draco made a sneering face, and shifted his attention towards Orion.

"You think it's funny do you…"

Suddenly Harry had the greatest feeling of Deja-vu. Like all of this had happened before. His mind swam around, and he began to feel a bit dizzy. What was this?

And then, as quickly as it had come it was gone. No-one seemed to have noticed and Harry turned his attention back towards the blond boy and his goons.

"Well, I didn't come here to argue with inferior wizard-kind!" he stated loudly, making Andy grip her wand to tight for comfort. Draco ignored her and put the fake smile back on as he turned to face Harry's once again.

"Come with me Harry… You don't need to spend time with these losers. I can show you your real friends! Me for one…"

Harry gave his hand a disgusted look. He backed away a few steps.

"I can find my own good friends without your help…"

Anger flashed in the Draco's eyes, and some voice at the back of Harry's head told him that he had just made his first enemy.

"You'll regret that, you..."

"Scalecio"

A flash of light erupted from Harry's right, and he jumped back not knowing what happened. He opened his half closed eyes full, and gasped at the sight. Malfoy's skin was slowly turning into green, nasty scales.

Harry began laughing, and he moved closer to the twins.

"Never have seen a snake without scales before… I just did him a favour!" Orion said between laughs, still focusing his wand on Mafloy, talking as if he wasn't there at all.

"Now that you mention it brother… Don't snakes have some sort of tail?"

Another flash and a big green tail placed it self at the 'end' of Draco Malfoy!"

He looked positively vivid with anger now and he went for his wand himself. But Harry was faster. A third flash and the before so arrogantly looking boy, mostly resembled a drunk now – as Harry's Jelly Legs Jinx took effect!

"You'll regret this – I swear you will…" Malfoy roared as loud as he could while his goons carried him away.

Harry and the twins, laughed harder than ever. Their first prank – together. Harry had never been more happy in his life.

* * *

Hours later the three were still discussing their first act of mischief. Even though what they had done might have seemed cruel to some, they were soaring. Every time one of them would mention their piece of the artwork they would laugh and take turns to come up with ideas for the next encounter with "The Malfoy git" (as Andy had named him!)

Orion was currently in the middle of explaining a very unrealistic idea.

"…and then if the purple pig grabs his clothes and jump out the window we could have a fire-fairy light his hair with a wax candle, and…" but that was all he managed to get out, before being finally silenced by a chocolate frog thrown directly into his open mouth.

"If I didn't know you were already of your rocker bro I would have been scared…" Andi said shaking her head disapprovingly, before turning to Harry, smiling. "Nice throw there Harry…" she laughed. "You may finally have found a way to shut him up!" she continued, pointing her finger at Orion.

Harry smiled. It felt nice being complimented by someone other than his mother and father and uncles. It tingled in his fingers, and he couldn't wait to actually get to school. He would show them all how good he was. What he could do. He smiled even wider. Secretly he had been studying some of his mothers and fathers books, charms and transfiguration, and had even practised a few. Most of them he could of course not do, he didn't know the theory or in most cases – the wand movements – the book only listed incantations. But he had got some of them right, earlier was his proof. He would make them proud, he would. Mom and Dad. Real proud.

"Only because it's food sis, only because it's food!" Orion suddenly said after having finished his frog, bringing him back. Andi rolled eyes, trying to look annoyed.

The compartment feel into silence after that and Harry, who hadn't exactly grown up in the wizardry world, took some time of to check out all the strange gadgets that the twins possessed. Their sure were a lot. Andi was reading a book and Orion was trying to get the last chocolate frog to dance, without luck.

And then, all too soon Harry could feel the train slowing down. But, as he told himself – this was just the first adventure of many more, hopefully to come. Just this morning he had been afraid that he wouldn't have any real friends at all. Now, as he looked around, he realised that he might just be in luck. No, scratch that – he thought and smiled. In fantastic luck.

Hope you keep reading!

Kitsu Black – Maybe, maybe not! We will see about that… but they will be coming back, and maybe they will be clues…. Uhh so many maybe's!

Athenakitty – Yea were indeed. What you must consider is that Harry now didn't have the same past so everything could be different!
