Shimmersea: We have more reviewers!
LSD: Yeah, so?
Northstar: We say their name?
LSD: Yeah, okay.
Shim: 'Chipotelae', we appreciate you review! *Blows a kiss*
LSD: To 'roemance_freak' you spelled romance wrong. And we are planning on Leo/Hannah and Maya/Harvey.
Northstar: To 'Fan for Northstar' I'm glad I am your favorite but the fact is although it was my idea Shim does most of the writing and LSD most of the editing. We are a team. So, well. DIE YOURSELF!

Hannah was disgusted. How could her mum send poor Harvey to a once all girl school? Sure, they had SOME boys now, but they were all nerds who looked up to Fleur Delacor as their idol.
Harvey, obviously, recipitated her feelings, but hadn't the heart to tell Hermione so. Hermione only talked to Harry now when it was absolutely necessary, and it was bugging the nerves off of Maya, Hannah, and Harvey. (Ron too, but he wouldn't admit this aloud)
"Sooo.." Hannah said, plopping down into the seat next to her brother. "Are you coming home for Christmas?"
"Nope. They don't have Christmas breaks there," Harvey replied dumbly.
"All ready to go?" Hermione asked cheerfully, coming into the room.
"Yes, Mom." They both said. Hermione smiled, and again picked up a trunk beside her. (With a magical bond, of course.)
"I'll just put these in the car then." She replied, and as she walked away, a second case followed meekly. Hannah had to bring her own out, because she could move things. Well, you know.
"Should I bring nerd glasses and two false front teeth?" Harvey muttered. Maya glanced at him from over her book.
"Why are you so downtrodden about this?" She asked, "I heard Beaxbutton is a very nice school."
"Yeah, for girls." Harvey muttered, and Hannah patted him on the back sympathetically.
"Iz okay, Warvey." she said, in the childish voice she sometimes used (Usually to annoy Harvey).
"Stop that," he replied, batting her hand away.
"Come on," Hermione called from the door. "We've got to go now, or Harvey may be late."
Harvey sighed dramatically, and got up. Maya put her book in her bag and got up too. Hannah got up, and pointed at her trunk. Pulling in telekinetically (and secretly calling her second trunk full of unnecessary clothes and items) behind her, she picked up her bag, and started to the door.
"Bye Dad!" She called up the stairs. "Bye Ron!!"
"BYE DADDY!" Maya called from outside, and Hannah smiled weakly and climbed down the steps.
***
"Are we there yet?" Harvey asked impatiently. Hannah smothered a giggled. Only ten minutes ago he had been pouting about going, and now he was impatient for it.
"No, dear, not yet." Hermione replied, putting her blinkers on. "About five minutes now."
"Great," Harvey said sourly, looking pissed with the world. Hannah looked out the window at the many stores and people passing by.
"Come on, Harvey!" Maya whispered, "Don't be so down! It's a great learning experience.
"Yeah, and you get to take Lil' Sirus!" Hannah said with fake cheer so convincing Hermione even took it.
"It was nice of you to let your brother take your puppy, Hannah." She said, looking over her shoulder at her, giving her a smile.
"Watch the road, Mrs. Potter!" Maya said, and Hermione laughed, but turned her eyes to the road.
"I know you want to take the dog, Hannah." Harvey said, "So why don't you?"
"What are you talking about? Of course I want you to take him." Hannah said, lying through her teeth.
"I just know, okay!? I don't want him." Harvey replied. Sirus looked momentarily downtrodden, but shrugged it off to mess with the plastic action figure left in the car.
"No, you are taking the dog." Hannah replied, giving her brother a penetrating stare.
"Whatever." Harvey said sourly.
"We're here!" Hermione said happily.
***
Harvey looked at his ticket. It was platform 700. Did they go up that high? Hannah had an easy number, 9 and ¾. His was complicated and impeccably long.
Her face was smiling, but he could tell she was sad about him going to 'Beaxbutton, the survival of the boobiest' school too. That was his newest name for the school of the femmes.
Maya was sad too, as she plucked Sirus out of Hannah's arms and into Harvey's. Hermione was beaming, and she smiled from afar.
"Okay, if I remember correctly, you are to walk to platform seven, and run until you get to platform eight. Okay honey?" She kissed him on the forehead, gave him a slight hug, (Mom, Gerroff!) and then watched from behind.
"Bye, Harv." Hannah said, quietly. Then she faked tears and grappled his neck. "I AM GOING TO MISS YOU!!" Then, she pulled Mr. Snuggles from her behind her back, and gave it to him.
"Bye Harvey." Maya said. Wow, what an impact. He blushed immediately. Maya gave him a small hug, and gave him a smile.
"Go on, now." Hermione said, dapping the tears in her eyes.
Harvey smiled wearily, and grabbed his cart and started toward platform 7. He looked back. Hannah gave him a wink and thumbs up, Maya waved ferociously, and Hermione smiled.
Walking (He didn't dare run like his mother proposed) he began to have thoughts he wouldn't make it. But his pace quickened and he felt a cool wall pass over him. Or he passed through it. Either - or, didn't matter. It was a black train with a lot of cars.
A million girls were talking quickly in French to their mothers and fathers, and dapping their eyes carefully, as to not smudge their exuberant make-up. Harvey saw 5 boys, and they looked just as depressed as he.
-Oy, my make-up!- a girl said in French.
Wait a second. He didn't know French.
How in hell did he know what she was saying? Like he heard Hannah thinking crossly about having Harvey taking the dog. He looked at the kennel placed on top of the trunk; Sirus looked at him and waved his tail happily.
This had happened for a while now. Hearing peoples thoughts. But it always shocked him nonetheless.
"Vello," a French voice said behind him. It was an older woman, with long, whitish blonde hair and a beautiful smile.
"Fleur Delacour. I know your vather. 'E saved my sister from the 'Ogwarts lake." She said, her words slightly strange. "'Arvey Potter, right? This is my 'ittle girl, Jasmine."
The girl beside her was as beautiful as her mother. The girl smiled impishly.
"I 'vould like to ask you to take care ov my darling," Fleur continued. "She is so new to this concept."
"Uh, okay." Harvey said, confused. How did the idol of all womankind know her father? "Did you." He began suspiciously.
"Oh, no. He was very cute, but to tied up with that 'Ermione." Fleur said sniffly, extending his mothers name like one would a trashcan. "I never knew why he liked 'er so much. I am vart Veela, 'ou know."
"Actually, I didn't." Harvey said sheepishly.
"I vill pay ou to watch out for my daughter," Fleur began again. "I vill pay. 10 galleons. Alvright?"
"Uh, yeah, I guess." Harvey replied. Fleur smiled, and gave her daughter a hug, before disappearing through the barrier again.
"Hi," Jasmine said. "Must 'veel sort of out of 'vlace, 'vith all these girls."
"Yeah," Harvey said. Jasmine smiled, and took his arm.
"Shall we?"
***
"Whoa. That things big." Hannah said.
"Well, yeah!" Maya replied. "It IS the Hogwarts express."
"Yeah, whatever." Hannah retorted. "It's still big!"
"Come on, now, Gulby. I need to get on." Came a voice from not to far away.
"GULBY WILL MISS MASTER LEO!!" the houself wailed, soaking Leo's shirt.
"Gulby." Leo said, on the verge of being exasperated with his nice but rather emotional houself.
"Oh, look who it is!" Maya whispered. "It's the guy you dumped in the fountain!"
"Shut up." Hannah hissed.
"MASTER LEO GROWN UP AND GOING TO SCHOOL! SOON HE WILL BE LEAVING POOR GULBY!"
"Gulby!" Leo hissed. "Not so loud!"
"GULBY WILL BE SO SAD WITHOUT MASTER LEO TO SERVE! HE WILL DRINK BUTTERBEER ALL TIME!"
"Gulby." Leo trailed off, as his sobbing houself screamed about Leo dying?
"He's having some trouble with that elf." Maya stated.
"Let's get on the train," Hannah replied, feeling sorry for Leo and the houself at the same time.
Two men came and put their trunks in a compartment, while Maya and Hannah seated themselves in a nearly empty compartment. A boy with glasses sat reading, 'Hogwarts, a History' and a girl was chattering to this rather defeated looking boy.
"Well!" Maya said, "The seats are comfy."
"Poor Harv." Hannah replied.
"Yeah." They said together. Poor Harvey, stuck with all those girls. And French girls, too. Everyone knew how boy crazy and vain french girls tended to be.
***
When Leo had finally gotten out of the 'Gulby Death Grip' he was free to get on the train. His owl, Baramaeous, hooted softly.
His compartment was empty. AND boring. He had tried reading a book, writing, eating his lunch, and other things. He had even thought of strolling the train. He wished he had the enthusiasm he did last year, being a first year and all. But he was a second year, meaning he knew everything that was coming.
His parents had been shocked when he was put in Grynfindor. He was actually shocked himself. He was convinced he would go to Slytherin, like the rest of his family. No, he went to Grynfindor.
It wasn't too bad. The bold red and gold were nice colors. The ghost was a bit whacked, but aren't all dead people?
He again tried to consume himself in reading, when he heard the door open. He looked up, and noticed it to be the girl he had been talking to in Diagon Alley.
"Oh," she said, blushing. "I didn't mean to disturb you."
"No, that's okay." What's her name? He though. Harriet? Hannah? Yes, that was it. "Hannah."
She looked surprised he had remembered her name.
"Leo, right?"
"Uh, yeah." Leo replied.
"Is Gulby alright? I saw him. mourning over you leaving."
"Yeah, well, Gulby is emotional."
"I should say so," Hannah said. "I don't want you to leave, Master Leo!" She said, imitating the houself.
"You've got that down." Leo laughed.
"Thank you." Hannah replied, smiling. She sat down. Good thing she had brought her bag along.
"Wow, the weather is nice," she remarked, looking out the window.
"Yeah, it is." Leo replied, looking out his window. Hannah smiled, and turned back to him.
"So NOW are you going to tell me your last name? Huh?" she asked energetically.
"Why do you want to know?" Leo asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I gave you mine. Give me something to go on in return!" She whined impatiently. "Why don't we play a guessing game? Give me the first letter!"
"Uh, M." Leo said. Hannah stopped talking to think.
"Mathews?"
"Nope."
"Martyrs?"
"No, that's not it."
"How about Marks? Cause the only other alternative is Malfoy." she said, thinking of her fathers biggest enemy.
"Uh." Leo stammered.
"Tell me!" she whined. "You aren't a Malfoy, are you?"
He shrugged. Hannah opened her mouth to protest.
"You! You are as stubborn as they come!" she said angrily.
"Well, look at yourself." Leo replied.
"I never, in all my years, seen this kind of thing!"
"Welcome to the world," Leo replied. Hannah blushed, a light pink showing on her cheeks.
"Tell me, or I'll. I'll do something you won't like." Hannah warned.
"What?" Leo asked, wondering what she thought he wouldn't like.
"I'll." Hannah stuttered, mind gone completely blank. "I'll never speak to you! Ever again!"
"Really?" Leo said, laughing.
"I won't! I swear!" Hannah protested. "You are a Malfoy, only they can be so horrific!" Hannah said, temper coming to a releasing point.
"No, it's Marks." He lied.
"Cool! I got it! Leo Marks. That sounds nice!" Hannah said, smiling. Her temper burned away, forgotten. "Then. I guess I'll talk to you."
"Then I guess I won't avoid you."
"Oh, what an honor."
"But the privilege of being talked to- it's more than I can bear." Hannah laughed, and Leo felt happy for the first time in a long while.
And the sun shone.
***
When Hannah returned to the compartment all giggly and flirtatious, Maya knew she had found a cute guy.
"What's his name?" she asked, from over the book she was reading.
"Leo, Leo Marks." Hannah giggled, collapsing on a seat. "Why are you in your robes?"
"Duh. They said over intercom to change into your robes," Maya replied.
Since everyone had cleared out of the compartment, and Maya LIVED with her, Hannah shut the shades and began to get dressed.
"No one is gonna see you at 70 miles an hour." Maya said, turning a page.
"Sush, I'm telling you about Leo." Hannah said, pulling the black material over her head.
"I don't want to know," Maya replied, but as always, Hannah began to talk mercilessly about him.
"He is SO cute. And I almost thought he was a Malfoy!" she snorted. "Him? A Malfoy? Never."
Maya, meanwhile, rolled her eyes.
"You have been gone two bloody hours!" Maya replied, tapping her watch.
"Have I?" Hannah asked, looking at her own watch. "I guess you are right."
"All that time, JUST to go to the bathroom?" Maya joked. Hannah pulled her robes straight, and whapped Maya with the newspaper.
"Think I should wear my hat?" Hannah asked, playfully toying with her hat.
"I don't think so." Maya replied, flicking her hair over her shoulder. "Braid my hair, would you?" Hannah sighed, and twirled her finger around. Maya's hair twisted neatly into a braid. Then she twirled her finger around her hair, but her hair she had twisted and put up with emerald clips.
"To fancy?" she asked, looking in the mirror.
"No," Maya replied, twisting her braid into a twisted bun. Then, she dug into her bag, and pulled out a honking bag of make-up.
"You aren't seriously!" Hannah said amazed, plopping down beside her.
"I am." Maya said. "You can too."
"Okay," Hannah said, pulling out her own collection. "It's a whole lot easier for me." Maya glared at her. Hannah let her fingers do the work. Some light blue eye shadow, and a bit of blush, hint of this, hints of that.
Maya, though, went full-blown, everything goes. But Hannah stopped her before she could go any further.
"No way. You can't go out there like that. Let me help you." Maya sighed, and gave in. Maya looked even more enhanced by the make-up.
"Can we do our nails? PLEASE?" Maya begged. Hannah looked at her watch.
"We have enough time." Both girls smiled, and their nails trembled.
***
Harvey was so tired of listening to french. When Jasmine figured out he could understand it, she began talking it also.
Jasmine wasn't too bad. She liked to hang on his arm and pretend to be dating, sure, but she was pretty, so Harvey didn't mind. Sirus liked her too, and liked to play with her a lot.
Harvey sighed. He was already missing his annoying sister and redheaded friend.
"Only another 9 months." He thought.
