PK- laughs Miss me??

Disclaimer- I don't own HP..If I did, I'd be making the fourth movie, and writing the sixth book right now instead of this.

"Firs' ye'rs. This'saway. Follow me." Hagrid called to all the frightened looking young eleven year olds.

"Whoooa..." Darek, a first year, said as he looked up at the tall man before him. It was dark, rainy, and wet. Not at all pleasant out and this giant was going to eat him. He just knew it.

"I'll be takin' ya ta 'Ogworts if you will follow me." Hagrid said as he lead them down a path to extremely rocky looking boats that appeared to be about to sink at any moment now.

This also proving the first year wrong, and the tall man wasn't going to devour them. HE WAS GOING TO GET THEM ALL KILLED!

As the group of first years hobbled off behind Hagrid, Harry and company made their way off of the train.

"Who is that?" Heather asked looking at the back of Hagrid's head.

"That's Hagrid. Keeper of the Keys on Hogwarts grounds." Hermione informed in her I-know-every-blasted-thing-on-this-bloody-planet tone.

"Right.." Apryl said as they took the safer route to the castle by buggy. "Are they really going to cross that river in those little boats?" She asked it almost astonished by even the thought of it.

"Yea. All first years do exactly that." Ron said. The group sat down in their little carriage and waited to be carted off by the invisible force that would pull them up to the castle.

"Is this carriage full?" Asked a voice from out-side. A shabby looking fellow walked aboard and peered in on them.

"Umm...we can fit one more." Apryl said as she looked at the man. He was a bit exasperated, but, he was hansom.

"Thank you miss." He said as he took a seat in the buggy with them. "I'm Professor Lupin by the way. I'm glad to be here this year."

"Professor? Are you going to be the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher?" Heather asked in a pushy tone.

"Don't be rude." Apryl said glowering at her sisters insolence.

"Not rude at all." Lupin said waving away that idea with a jester of his hand, "And Yes, to answer your question, I am going to be the new teacher for the Defense Against the Dark Arts position."

"Aren't you...er...frightened?" Ron asked wearily.

"Why would I be?" Lupin asked looking at the red head half confused.

"They say the position is cursed. Every teacher for a while now has had some kind of accident or problem, or worse..." Ron rambled on in explanation.

"Oh, just a minor coincidence." Lupin said, once again squashing the concern of his future student.

The carriage was moving now, heading forwardly towards the school up the winding rock and dirt trail. There was a quarter moon out in the early nights sky, already lighting up the grounds for the evening and preparing for night.

"Professor..." Apryl started as she looked at Lupin.

"Yes miss...oh good gracious. I don't believe I know your names." Lupin said putting his finger to his chin as realization of this minor problem came to him.

"Heather Brown." Heather said with a half-hearted smile.

"Harry sir." Harry said looking at the professor...

"James Potters son, correct?" Lupin asked.

"Yes sir." Harry confirmed.

Lupin nodded as the rest introduced themselves. "I'm Hermione Granger." The forward opinionated witch informed happily.

"Ron Wesley" The red head said.

"I'm Apryl Lynn Brown." Apryl said with a heart-filled smile.

"It's very nice to meet you Apryl." Lupin said smiling warmly at her as well.

"The feeling is mutual." Apryl said happily, "Now what I wanted to ask you is if you knew the reason for the demen-"

"Cough, I'm Darek Kitsune." Said a voice coming from the corner of the compartment.

Everyone blinked and their heads turned towards the voice. There was a boy with brown hair with the tips dyed a lighter blonde color. His eyes were blue and he sat with his arms crossed.

"When did you get here?" Ron asked in his bliss filled arrogance.

"I've been here the entire time!" The young boy said with a bit of force.

"You're a first year. I saw you walking with Hagrid..." Apryl said looking at the boy.

"Yea, so? What of it?" Darek asked in mild annoyance. He had the slight tendency to be overlooked and forgotten, and ever so often completely ignored, such as it seemed he had been just now.

"You're suppose to cross the lake. All first years go threw it every year." Harry said with a frown across his brow.

"Are you mad!? Have you seen the waters out there? I'm a first year student, I'm not stupid." Darek said a bit stronger than what he was.

"The boats won't sink." Lupin reassured, not that it mattered now, seeing as they were just minuets away from the school now and Hagrid and the rest of the first years were halfway across the lake at this time.

"I know. They are charmed to keep afloat." Darek said in a bit of insolence and rebletry.

"How did you know that?" Ron asked looking at the kid. He viewed the boy as a kid because he was only a first year, but being only two years younger than Ron he wasn't that much more of a kid that said red head.

"I read it in Hogwarts a History." Darek answered bluntly.

Hermione looked about ready to cry, "You've...you've read Hogwarts a History?"

"Yea. I've read all my text books at least once threw as well as others." Darek confirmed looking at the girl he just now recently learned to be Hermione. "Me and my sister both."

"Have you really?" Hermione asked with a smile, "Nice to see not everyone is an illiterate presumptuous pin head."

Ron snapped his head towards Hermione "I'm not an illiterate presam- whatever pin-head."

Hermione rolled her eyes.

"Could have fooled me..." Darek said with a bit of attitude.

"Why you..." Ron started, but was cut off by Professor Lupin who smiled and announced a cheery "We're here." To the group.

The carriage stopped and the group hopped out and walked inside. Professor McGonagall stopped Darek at the door to wait at her side for the rest of his classmates to arrive from the lake.

Lupin moved up to the table in the front of the eating hall and took a seat next to the other professors.

"Aww...I didn't get to ask him my question..." Apryl whined to everyone who listened to her.

"Aww...poor you." Heather said, sarcasm oozing from her words.

Apryl gave a huff at her sister as they sat down at the Gryffindor table with Harry Ron and Hermione. They had already been placed in their houses by the sorting hat before the beginning of the year, so everything was already set up for the transfers.

Finally the first years arrived, and they looked horrible. Save for that Darek kid who was completely dry and peachy looking.

"I bet you he's in Slytherin. I bet you anythin' that little viper is in Slytherin." Ron told his friends at a harsh near whisper.

The hat that was placed so nicely on the stool began to sing out above the crowd, "Another year be coming along the dusty roads of time Vacations cleansed our faces of previous dirt and grime Friends reunite from pasts of the old year Summer leading up to this meeting of happiness not fear But longer, tougher roads lay ahead

Fear seems to surround us despite the arguments we've said

Four Houses be what I am honored to send each successfully to Sending you to the appropriate houses where your best you shall surely do Hufflepuff, full of life, so bright and witty Ravenclaw, cunning as ever, never needing pity Gryffindor bold as none other, so noble and so true Slytherin, aware, never needing help from me or you These four houses, you new comers shall profit from The future lay here, because the future is what you shall become."

The whole room broke out into applause as the song came to a brisk end. And slowly the new years were called up to the stool. This was how they were sorted into their houses.

"Rachel Killigan." Professor McGonagall called out. A scared looking girl stepped up and sat on the stool.

"Hufflepuff!" The hat called out and a roar of cheering came from the Hufflepuff table as the girl gladly went and took her seat at her house table.

"Jaaka Stonestrong" Came the Professors voice again.

A boy stepped up to the stool and, "Ravenclaw!". A thunderous round of clapping from the table and the boy took his new seat.

It continued threw the thirteen new students. It turned out that Ryley Tadtruck, Chris Sonager, Stacy Irvings, and Chris Sonager were the new Ravenclaws. Rachel Killigan, Kate Ivary, and Lacie Tuckerson were all Hufflepuff. Victoria Burns, Lindsay Southern, and Amy Blevins went to Slytherin. And the new Gryffindors were Becky Hacket, Gail Pace and..

"Darek Kitsune..." McGonagall called out the last name on the list.

The brown haired blonde tipped boy hopped up onto the stool and the hat had a party going threw his head. After what seemed like decades the hat finally declared it's decision, "Gryffindor!"

"What?" Ron asked in disbelief as the entire Gryffindor table broke out into applause as the boy came bouncing to take his seat...right next to Hermione too, it being the only seat left.

"Hello again." He said grinning at the group.

Ron was too busy deciding which utensil to grab first to start drilling out his brain slowly.

This was going to be a rough year indeed.

"Hello." Heather responded, slightly annoyed.

'Great...this is all Gryffindor needs. Another know it all, show-offy rule breaker.' Harry thought, knowing full well that that was exactly what he was, even if he would never admit it...

PK- aaaand...that's where it ends for now...
