TEAGAN'S TRAIN RIDE
"Are you sure you can remember them all?" Teagan asked for the billionth time.
"Yes, yes. We know how to take care of all your pets and if we see Nefertiti, we'll owl you." Julie said, referring to Emerald's daughter who had slithered away a few weeks ago. "And remember, Slytherin is the best!"
"No way. Gryffindor's the best, kids. Julie, you have poisoned all of our other children already, these are Gryffindor material." He beamed as the twins got into the train.
"Let's split up." Teagan said to Xander. "We can meet more people that way." Xander nodded and veered to the right and Teagan combed the left. She found a nice empty compartment and sat down, sticking her nose in her book, Great Pranks and How to Pull Them. "Can I sit?" a cheery male voice said. Teagan looked up and saw a skinny, smiling boy of normal height. His hair was brown and a total mess, his twinkling black eyes shone mischievously.
"Go ahead, I'm Teagan Potter, 1st year."
"Dylan Tonksbottom. 1st year." He said taking a seat. "What house you think ya be in Teagan?"
"I don't know, my dad was Gryffindor, but my mom and every one of my 7 brothers who've been sorted are in Slytherin, I want Gryffindor, you?"
"I want Gryffindor too. My mum, Nymphadora Tonks, was in, and me dad, so I most likely be in."
"Who be your dad?" She asked, she liked how he talked and was trying it out.
"Neville Longbottom." He said proudly. Neville was the one who died saving The-Boy-Who-Lived from Voldemort's spell, insuring the victory of the good side. "Who your parents?"
"Julie and Harry Potter." Her voice the same tone as his, Harry had, after all defeated Voldemort, and Julie was the chaser for the Wasps. Just then, a witch came around with a trolley full of candy. Dylan and Teagan piled their candy together and had a great time of daring each other.
"Teagan, dare you to eat this booger bean with that nasty looking yellow one... while gargling pumpkin juice." After a few tries, Teagan finally completed the task, the yellow one turned out to be chocolate. They went through a few more dares when a knock was heard on the door and it burst open.
"Thought this was the bathroom, sorry to interrupt your snogging." A voice drawled, not sounding sorry at all. They looked up to see a pale boy with blonde hair and stormy gray eyes.
"You must be Teagan, your brother asked me to check on you whilst I go to the bathroom. Lucifer Malfoy, of the prestigious Malfoy clan. Come with me, why would you hang with a loser such as him when you could be with me and your brother?" he said, taking her hand and attempting to kiss it. Repulsed, Teagan pulled her hand out of his grasp and slapped him for his attitude and insult towards Dylan. She was also pissed at her brother, did he think he had to protect her like a little kid? She was just as old as him, and a lot better at fighting, just ask any of the 17 kids she had fought with at her old school last year.
"Tell Xander I'm perfectly fine, I am not three. And to stop acting like I'm one of those ditzes from fairy tales? If he keeps it up, I'll tell the secret."
The boy left angrily, muttering "Ungrateful fool." She apologized to Dylan and the train rolled on.
XANDER'S TRAIN RIDE (happening the same time as Teagan's)
Xander wandered around a bit until he found a compartment with only one long haired blonde boy in it.
"Mind if I sit here?" he asked a bit timidly. He was shy, people made him nervous.
"Go ahead. Lucifer Malfoy, you?" The boy said.
"Xander Potter. What house do you think you'll be in?"
"Slytherin. My whole family was in it, you?"
"Same, my whole family save my dad. I'll probably be in it, and my sister." Xander was warming up a bit, this boy was easy going and nice to talk to.
"Play Quidditch, Xander?"
"Yeah, chaser, how bout you?" Xander warmed up, he liked this kid.
"Seeker, like my dad. Isn't it great they're finally letting first years play?"
"Yeah. My brother said they lost almost all the team this year. 1 chaser, the seeker, and both beaters, so we'll have a good shot. What broom do you have?"
"Dragonbreath 500, you?"
"Firebolt 360, I won it as second prize in my age group at a tournament in London. My sister Teagan won first place for beaters, she has a Dragonbreath 500. Did you compete in it?"
"No, I live in Dukesburg, it's way north. I have to pee, when the candy trolley comes, get me some stuff okay? Here's money."
"Sure, wait, if you see a compartment with a girl with long black hair, green eyes, really tan, check up on her, will ya? Oh, and invite her to our compartment." Xander said. Lucifer nodded and left. A little while later he came back with a red mark on his cheek, from Teagan Xander knew.
"Your sister, your sister is... is..." Lucifer couldn't find the words.
"High strung, feisty, bitchy? Yeah, she's the bit off one in our family; she might take some warming up to."
"Oh, right she says to tell Xander I'm perfectly fine, I am not three. And to stop acting like I'm one of those ditzes from fairy tales? If he keeps it up, I'll tell the secret." He said, mimicking her voice. "What IS this secret, anyways?"
"Oh, uh, nothing important." No way was Xander's bigoted mind going to let him admit that his sister, a girl, saved him from Shark, one of the toughest kids in their class. Lucifer nodded and they talked more about Quidditch the rest of the way to Hogwarts.
"Are you sure you can remember them all?" Teagan asked for the billionth time.
"Yes, yes. We know how to take care of all your pets and if we see Nefertiti, we'll owl you." Julie said, referring to Emerald's daughter who had slithered away a few weeks ago. "And remember, Slytherin is the best!"
