The 8 Who United Hogwarts Chapter 4 The Gathering of the Heroes
Once inside, Lina followed the instructions Lupin had given her and sat down in the last carriage. Gourry took a seat beside Lina, with Amelia and Zelgadis in front of them. Filia, expecting to sit with them, sighed, as she sat herself down in the seats diagonally from Lina and Gourry in the next aisle. As Sylphiel entered, she pouted as she found that there was no available seats next to Gourry, and proceeded to sit by Filia. Xelloss materialized just as Sylphiel was about to sit down, which ended with her sitting on his lap.
"Why Sylphiel! I didn't think shrine maidens were so forward these days! Did you Filia?" Xelloss said with mock astonishment.
"Shut up Xelloss. What are you doing here anyway? Dumbledore said we only needed eight people. We don't need you." Filia said.
"Why dearest Filia…that is a secret of course," Xelloss said, smiling, wiggling his index finger at her.
Blushing in embarrassment, Sylphiel looked to see if Gourry-dear had seen her sitting on Xelloss' lap, only to see that Lina had been talking to him. She found that Martina and Zangulus were sitting across from Filia, giving her no place to sit by someone she knew. She took the seats in the next aisle from Lina's seat.
"Uh hi?" Sylphiel said, holding out her hand in greeting to the girl sitting in front of her. However the girl continued to read her magazine, completely ignoring Sylphiel.
"Hey Luna!" Ginny said, marching up. Luna Lovegood looked up, and scooted a seat to her right, inviting Ginny Weasly to sit beside her, and promptly went back to finishing her magazine. Taking a seat beside Luna she looked around at the people in her surroundings.
"Hi!" Ginny greeted. She noticed that Lina and the others looked like fourteen to sixteen year olds. They can't be eleven year olds. But then why haven't I seen them before? Ginny thought to herself.
"Hi, I'm Sylphiel," Sylphiel said, glad that she was not being ignored as that Luna girl had ignored her. Ginny looked at her, trying to figure out if she had seen her before. Sylphiel had shoulder length, dark, purplish hair, and had jade green eyes. She wore a purple tank top, laced with yellow at the collar over light purple tights.
"I'm Lina," Lina greeted after determining Ginny could be trusted. Ginny looked over at the girl with her long, unruly, fiery reddish orange hair matching her eye color, with a short sleeved maroon shirt over identically maroon pants. She wore a black bandanna and her chest was wrapped in yellow cloth. A white strip followed down her shirt outlining the ends, and to complete her outfit she wore matching white gloves and boots. The tall blond man sitting next to her looked friendly enough. He had hair a little bit past his shoulders, and kind blue eyes.
"Hey Ginny," Harry greeted, coming into the compartment.
"Oh hey Harry!" Ginny replied smiling. Sylphiel, noticing the friendship between the two, scooted over to let the boy sit down.
"Harry? Harry Potter?" Lina asked, quirking her eyebrow. She hadn't known what to expect, but it was surely not some kid. Not that she had any room to talk in that department.
"Uh…yeah," Harry said, by now used to people's surprised looks as they found out he was HARRY POTTER.
"Lina Inverse!" Lina said, introducing herself, "This is Sylphiel, Gourry, Zel and Amelia. The ones in the next row are Filia, Xelloss, Martina, and Zangulus."
Like Ginny, Harry observed them. Ginny looked towards Zelgadis, who was by far, the hottest of all of them in her opinion. He had dark black hair, much the same of that Amelia girl. Amelia had black hair as well with a beautiful set of sea blue eyes. She wore a white skirt and white short-sleeved shirt laced with pink. Zelgadis was wearing tan pants and a tan long-sleeved shirt, finished of with black old, gloves, which were cut off at the tips of the fingers. He had gorgeous aqua marine eyes, high cheekbones, and full lips… Ginny blushed at her train of thought, when she caught her staring at him.
Harry, meanwhile wasn't quite on the same train of thought as Ginny, and observed the people in the next row as well as he could see them. The blond girl, who had just recently been hitting on the purple haired guy, literally, settled down now to view the newcomer. Her blonde hair ended just below her shoulder blades and she wore a dark pink dress ending just above her breasts. She had the same blue eyes as the Amelia girl, with something a bit inhuman behind them. However, that could have just been her rage at the man sitting beside her. He looked over at the man sitting next to her. He had shoulder length purple hair, and his eyes…Harry noticed the slight shiver that went through him. There was something about Xelloss, he thought to himself. Something inhuman…
The two in the back, the ones known as Martina and Zangulus were sleeping through the entire thing. Martina had gray-white hair, although not exactly the color you might get as you get older. The man named Zangulus wore a ratty old brown hat that slightly reminded Harry of the Sorting Hat. The rest of his clothes were dark brown, no interest there. He turned back to Xelloss, curiosity mixed with hatred for a man he never met flowed from him. Xelloss turned towards Harry smiling, and opened his eyes. Startled Harry turned back to Ginny, determined to avert Xelloss' gaze for the rest of the trip.
Ginny had just finished observing them, much the same time as Harry did, both feeling surprised, but for different reasons.
"So why weren't you at you're mom's house?" Harry asked, feeling Xelloss' gaze on him.
"I was staying over at a friend's house for the summer," Ginny replied, still blushing.
This surprised Harry, almost more then Xelloss' gaze. He didn't think that Mrs Weasley would ever let them stay over someone else's house without her, especially with all that has been happening. Must have asked her while she was yelling at Fred and George and not paying attention…
Just as he was about to ask whom she had been staying over with, another familiar face entered.
"Hello Harry, Ginny, Luna," Neville greeted.
Seeing that there was no available room in the cubicle with Harry he sat behind Lina in another cubicle, turned outwards so his feet were in the aisle, so he could talk to Harry. Introductions were made again, between Neville and the gang.
"So what year are you guys?" Ginny asked one of the many questions bubbling inside Harry's mind.
"We're sixth years. Some of us transferred from Beauxbatons, and some from Durmstrang," Lina said.
"I didn't even know that we could transfer from different schools," Harry said confused.
"It's never happened before that I know of," Ginny said, sharing his confusion.
"Uh…anyway," Lina chuckled nervously, trying to change the subject, "What year are you guys?"
Next Chapter: The Sorting Hat's New Song
Author's Notes:
Another chapter . First of all, if you skipped over the Slayers descriptions, Lina and Amelia basically look the same. It's everyone else that look different. I'm very sorry for the long wait. I would have made this longer but then I probably wouldn't have finished it until next month.
OH! And if anyone can think of a name for this chapter, I'd greatly appreciate it!
Here are the seating arangements:
Martina Zangulus Row NOBODY YET
Filia Xelloss Row Neville
Luna Ginny Row Lina Gourry
Syphiel Harry Row Zel Amelia
animelover version 2.0: I'm sorry but instead of uploading this story faster it'll probably be slower. I would be happy to email you when I finish the entire story if you wish. However, I will no longer make any promises on the length of time it will take me for uploading chapters. My grades are slipping and that and not this story is what matters to me more. Being on the Track team is also wearing me down.
Purple Pixie: As you can see I described the way the Slayers gang looked. I like the Tea cup scene too. I can just imagine Xelloss laughing his butt off as he gets carried away to the detention room. As for Xelloss and Filia swapping age…we don't really know how old Filia is. (At least I don't think we do) Personally, I don't think it'll make a difference if that were to happen. Another thing, Filia and Xelloss only look like 16 year olds, but not necessarily how they looked when they were sixteen (since age is slower at least for Filia).
Darling Chii: Well they finally met each other. Anywho, I haven't said who the DADA teacher is yet. It's a…secret…
Stephanie2: THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I was racking my brain trying to find out what they said when they went to Ron's house, and I couldn't remember. GAH! Anyway thanks a lot. I'm glad you liked the story. It's my first crossover so far.
SetsunaFanGirl: I'm glad you reviewed. At first I didn't get it because of the glitch and I was all panicking cause ate one of my reviews. And the fact that my constant and loyal reader (along with Darling Chii) didn't review! Anywho, as for Lina causing mayhem…she isn'tcalled "The Girl Who Leaves Wreckage and Chaos in Her Wake" for nothing. Oh and she'll be meeting Draco soon enough. (Possibly the next chapter) Even if she might not want to. Bwahahaha!
