Kylie and Wes woke up at the exact same moment the next morning and so did
the other girls in their room.
Wes sat up looking alarmed and said, "Who said that?"
The other girls looked at Wes with a weird look.
"Who said 'Its time to get up, Wes'? Come on fess up!"
"Yeah, I heard it too, only it said Kylie. What's up with that? Who did it?" Kylie asked.
"Oh, that," said Hermione "The ghosts sometime come into the rooms and wake people up early. They think its funny."
"Weird," said Kylie and Wes at the same time.
"Lets go down for breakfast, then, shall we?" said Hermione.
"Sure. Might as well" said Wes.
As they made their way into the Great Hall, they were stopped by Professor Dumbledore and another man, a big one.
"Wow, you're really, really tall!" said Wes. "I thought my brother was tall, he's 6'5 but you are loads taller! Is it from eating this magic food stuff, cause if it is, send a lot with me, I could use some. I always wanted to be tall. But my mom's short and my dad's short and my other brother is short and I am short. My other brother (the tall one) he was adopted. My aunt and her husband were tall but they died and we adopted my cousin, now my brother. He is short though compared to you. Wow!"
Kylie clapped her hand over Wes's mouth to keep her from babbling more. "Sorry sir, this is still weird for us."
"Well, girls, this is Hagrid, he will be taking to the Hogwarts Express and back into muggle London and then back to your school." Said Dumbledore. "You'll be leaving after breakfast."
"Okay." Said Wes, who had wrenched off Kylie's hand.
"I'll come and fetch ya before we need to leave then." said the man called Hagrid.
"Lets sit down, Wes." said Kylie.
Breakfast was a noisy affair. People from the other big tables, except the one Malfoy was at, kept coming over and asking questions to Kylie and Wes. Everyone, almost everyone, seemed to like them. Those Slytherins, however, were the exception. The food that Wes had thrown at Malfoy had stained his hair. But it wasn't even the color of the potatoes. Instead, that Malfoy boy had a purple splotch in his hair. It was hilarious to look at.
Kylie was loving this. Wes thought he was cute, she thought Oliver was cute and they were getting more attention than they ever had at their boarding school. Too bad it had to end. Or did it? Why did they have to leave? Because they didn't belong here, as they had been told numerous times. But still, she and Wes were really happy and each of them had a "love interest" so the other one didn't feel left out.
Kylie's reverie was interupted by Wes exclaiming, "Wow, you've got a wicked scar! I've got lots but none like that. How did you get it?"
A boy answered, "The evilest wizard in the world tried to kill me."
"Oh, thats mean. I got this from falling off my roof. My brother said that if it I tried, I could fly, it didn't work. And I got this." Wes answered.
The rest of breakfast flew by and before long Hagrid came over to their table and they knew it was time to go.
Before they left, Wes and Kylie managed to say good-bye to almost everyone, Draco wouldn't let Wes near enough to talk, he kept repelling her. Or shall we say tried. He was no match for Wes who snuck up behind him and grabbed him into a bit hug.
"Goodbye Draco darling!!" she shouted as she squeezed him and then gave him a kiss on the cheek. "I'll never forget you!!!"
Draco yelped and wiggled out of Wes' grasp. He rubbed his cheek where Wes had kissed him, glared at her, and ran out of the Great Hall. Wes shrugged her shoulders.
As they were walking out of the hall, Kylie and Wes were both tapped on the shoulder by Oliver.
"Hey, you didn't say good-bye to me." Oliver said to them.
"Bye!" said Wes. "Thanks for bringing us here."
"Yeah, thanks for catching me. I hope I didn't hurt you, falling like that." Kylie said, blushing furiously.
"Oh, it wasn't a problem. I liked it." replied Oliver, also blushing.
"I guess I'll never see you again. I liked getting to meet you, its a shame that I don't live here or you where I live."
"Well, my owl could find you. I'll write."
"Come on!" said Wes, exasperatedly. "Too mushy, gushy for me. Look, here's her address and we gotta go."
"Bye!!!!!! I'll miss you!!!!!!" shouted Kylie, as Wes dragged her away.
Hagrid led Wes and Kylie on to the Hogwarts Express. To their surpise, he stayed on the train.
"Are you going with us all that way to our school?" asked Kylie.
"Yup. Special orders from Dumbledore." responded Hagrid.
"Oh, do you go to London often?" Wes asked.
"I go there sometimes, haven't for a while but taking you there will give me a chance to visit a favorite place of mine. The Leaky Cauldron." Hagrid said.
"Okay."
This sounded crazy. Who would name a place the Leaky Cauldron? This was weirder than Wes had even imagined.
"Shouldn't the train be moving? We've been here for ages and it doesn't seem like we've moved at all." asked Wes.
"I'll go check." said Hagrid.
A few minutes later he was back. "Okay, come on. Lets go back up to the castle. The train is broken down."
"Great. Just great." said Kylie, sarcastically. "So now what are you going to do with us?"
"Dumbledore will know what to do." responded Hagrid.
Ten minutes later, they were back at the castle, they used a carriage with invisible horses rather than walking.
Hagrid took them to Dumbledore's office, gave the password ('Licorice wand') and led them inside. Dumbledore was sitting at his desk. He looked a bit annoyed when he saw Kylie, Wes and Hagrid.
"Hagrid, I thought that you were going to take these girls back to their school. Why are they back at Hogwarts?" he asked.
"The train is broke. Nothing they can do. So we came back here." Hagrid explained.
"Drat. Well now, what should we do. They can't go back by train, we don't have cars, there isn't a way back through Diagon Alley. What about Floo powder? No that wouldn't work either. Maybe . . . . . no that's no good. Alright, Hagrid please get Professor McGonagall, yes I know she has a class but you can sit in on it for her." After Hagrid left, Dumbledore looked at Kylie and Wes. Fearing a harsh or angry outburst, they gulped and sunk in their chairs. To their surprise, Dumbledore laughed. "Don't look so glum. This isn't your fault and nor are you in anyway responsible. We'll get it sorted out one way or another. It may well end up that you stay with us for a time. I dare say you wouldn't like it" Kylie blushed scarlet. "Anyway, I will take you to see the head of wizardy and he can sort it all out. I think it might be best for me to take you." Dumbledore added. "And depending on what he says, you'll either stay or go back. It just depends on how it works. You needn't worry."
At that moment, Professor McGonagall walked in. "Yes, Albus?" she said. Then she noticed Kylie and Wes and gasped. "I thought the muggles were leaving, Albus?!!"
"Erm. . . they were, but the train broke and we no longer have a way to get them home. For the time being, they will stay here at Hogwarts with us. I would like you to take them back to your class and then afterwards explain to them any information they need to know. I'll put them in Gryffindor then," explained Dumbledore.
"But, I have the 7th year Slytherins right now!" gasped McGonagall.
"YAY!!" screamed Wes, clapping her hands. Kylie groaned.
"Yes, well, all right," said McGonagall, frowning slightly. "Come on, follow me," she said to Wes and Kylie, walking out of Dumbledore's office. They followed.
It was a bit of a walk to the Transfiguration classroom and when they arrived, they found the Slytherins yelling at Hagrid. McGonagall barked at them to shut up, dismissed Hagrid and told Kylie and Wes to sit anywhere.
Wes happily ran to the empty seat beside Draco.
"Oh no, not you!" he moaned. Wes grinned at him. Kylie took a seat by herself at the back, mumbling bad things about Wes for not letting her sit with her.
McGonagall continued with the lesson and Wes continued to annoy Draco. When it was time for the class to transfigure their tortoises into plates, Kylie ran to join Draco and Wes.
Draco set his tortoise on the table, glared at Wes for the 50 millionth time that hour, and waved his wand at it. Right as Draco was about to say the spell, Wes shouted, "I LOVE YOU DRACO MALFOY!!!!" in his ear, causing his wand to slip, and his tortoise was now a rather purple plate.
"Oh look!" said Kylie, holding it up. "It matches your hair!!"
Draco turned red and touched his hair. Then he raised his hand and called, "Professor! The muggles are annoying me!"
"Don't be rude, Draco," scolded Wes. "We do have names you know."
"Yeah, muggles," Draco responded.
"Actually, back home, we're known simply as Kylie and Wes," Kylie stated.
"And you would be known as the hot boy with the purple hair," finished Wes.
"It's your fault I have purple. . .hey, wait! Did you just say that I'm hot??!"
"Class dismissed!" called Professor McGonagall. Wes smiled mysteriously at Draco as Kylie dragged her to McGonagall.
Wes sat up looking alarmed and said, "Who said that?"
The other girls looked at Wes with a weird look.
"Who said 'Its time to get up, Wes'? Come on fess up!"
"Yeah, I heard it too, only it said Kylie. What's up with that? Who did it?" Kylie asked.
