As they were transported to the eerie looking castle ahead, Harvey rubbed his head. Jasmine looked out the window. Harvey's head hurt like the dickens.
"All first years please come to the front of the train." A voice called. Harvey got up, got his bags and Jasmine's (she refused to carry them herself) He began lugging them to the front. Jasmine followed behind.
The entire girl's stared at her as he past. He heard them thinking about him, too.
-Damn.- He thought angrily. -I hate this.-
His power was actually quite odd and very flexible. He could hear people's thoughts, read their minds, and in a way, steal information. Only Hannah and Maya knew anything about this. It would freak his Mum out.
-Oooh,- One thought, and Harvey spotted her to be dressed in green, with her long, blonde hair braided up. -'E's cute. He must be interested in me, no?-
-Sizzle,- Thought another girl. She had weird eyes.
-Bingo,- Thought another one, -Just what I'm looking for.-
Harvey then decided to stay away from her.
"Urry, 'Arvey!" Jasmine prodded, smiling loftily at all the girls. Harvey then heard many rude comments about Jasmine, which at the root were jealousy. Harvey scowled, and tried to hurry his pace.
-Oh! My make-up? Surely it isn't smeared?- a girl thought. She pulled out a pocket mirror, and then smiled broadly at him. -Nope. Perfect, as always!-
Harvey rolled his eyes. Why didn't he have an off button? Trodding through the aisle, he tried to avoid the eyes of the girls.
When they finally reached the final compartment, MORE girls greeted them. Not one boy in the midst (Beside Harvey himself, that is). Harvey was already beginning to feel very uncomfortable.
"Alzirght." Began a woman at the front. "You all will come to me when I call you. I will transport you to your line. Please bear in mind the whole school shall be watching you."
"Delacour, Jasmine?" She called. Jasmine bounced forward. "Evonte, Susan? Kariv, Kane." on, on, on. "Potter, Harvey?"
Harvey jumped. The three remaining girls giggled.
"Potter, Harvey?" The woman repeated. Harvey came to her. She smiled, and touched him on the head with her wand.
It's weird to explain how he got there. It was like going through a wormhole, spinning, mad colors, and no sense of time whatsoever. As soon as it started it seemed, it stopped. The huge room full of girls cheered, saying 'Man Flesh' in french.
He blushed madly as he went to sit down next to Jasmine. She was smiling broadly, and attached herself to his arm. Suddenly all the other girls went very, very quiet, staring at Jasmine with the outmost contempt.
This was going to be a LOOOONNNNGGGG year.

"Look at all the boats!" Hannah squealed happily. Maya rolled her eyes, but her excitement was evident, too.
"Come on, first Years," a boy said. He had long blonde hair, and a big golden 'H' on his billowing black robes. He had earrings, and a really weird tattoo. He had blue eyes, and they sparkled mischievously.
"Ooo." Hannah whispered.
"I thought you were into the Leo guy," Maya shot back, but Hannah was too busy scouting for potential candidates.
When the boat started with a sudden lurch, Hannah almost fell out of her boat. (Maya caught her at the last second) The boats floated jerkily to a large castle, which was glowing with lights.
"That's big too," Hannah said, in complete awe.
It was huge, and looked sparkling clean compared to the dark surroundings. It was polished, scrubbed. It had probably succumbed to all methods of cleaning (Even un-wizardly ones!)
Hannah and Maya were to busy gawking at the large, looming castle to notice the boats were all floating toward a rickety pier, where everyone was being helped out. Girls were brushing off their robes, boys either helping people out or looking nervous as Hades.
A boy with dark, black hair and sparkling blue eyes helped Hannah out. (Maya had to help herself)
"My name's Samuel," he said. Hannah's smile slightly faltered at his smile, perfect and handsome and lots of things all rolled into one.
"Hannah, Hannah Potter." She replied, brushing the blonde strand out of her face. She looked straight into his eyes, and quickly got lost in them. They were dark and consuming and beautiful.
"You have lovely eyes," Samuel said, as Hannah settled herself safely on the deck.
"I should say the same for you," Hannah replied, snapping her eyes away. It would be best not to look into those gorgeous eyes, she'd get distant. Maya scowled at her.
"I'm going to go help some more girls out," Samuel began. Hannah's eyes narrowed, thinking he might be looking for hot chicks to start on, but he continued and she was more than satisfied. "But I'll bet none of them will be as pretty as you." Hannah blushed profusely, and Samuel left.
"Bye, Samuel!" she called after him, waving. Then, turning her attention back to Maya, smiled innocently.
"You are hogging them ALL, Hannah." Maya said, faking anger. "I'll never be loved!"
"Awww, sweetie, there's still Harvey!" Hannah joked, and Maya blushed and threw her handbag and her.
"Yo! Pull out you're wands, and line up!" A stern voice called. It was the boy with the large, 'H' badge. Hannah bounced and squealed, eagerly pulling out her wand.
Her wand was of a unicorn's tail, ebony, 12 inches, and flexible. Maya's, on the other hand, was dragon's heartstring, oak, 10 inches, and sturdy. That guy, Orvalander. Or something like that. Was REALLY weird, and looked to be wired on something. Slowly, they made their way down a dark, dripping hallway.
They quickly arrived behind a large red velvet curtain, which was draped over royally.
"Samuel, Chang?" it took all Hannah had not to shout out cheers for him, and a few seconds passed before:
"GRYNFINDOR!"
Hannah eagerly bounced behind a boy whose nose was buried in a book. She jumped from foot-to-foot, impatiently waiting.
"Yolanda Marvin?" a voice called. A girl with braces and glasses bounced out. Ten seconds went by. then a loud, resounding voice called, "RAVENCLAW!"
Hannah began to think badly about her last name, which was so far back in the alphabet.
"Hannah Potter!" Suddenly loud cheers echoed throughout the hall. What was going on? She glanced at Maya, but Maya was reading over the shoulder of the boy in front of her. She creped toward the edge, and nervously stepped out unto the ledge.
The large hall full of people bellowed cheers for her, and Hannah's brow wrinkled in confusion. What were they cheering about? A woman pointed at a hat, and Hannah picked it up. It was straight, and blue with bright gold stars. All of a sudden, a voice echoed in her head.
-So you're a Potter, huh?- it said. -Hmm. You're dad didn't want to go to Slytherin. Do you?-
'Not particularly,' Hannah thought. or, replied. 'I always wanted to be in Ravenclaw or Grynfindor.'
-It takes a lot to be in those houses,- thought the hat back. -But it suits me. GRYNFINDOR!!!-
The last word was shouted aloud, and everyone at a table and the far end of the room cheered. She could see Leo and Samuel cheering for her. The three other tables looked angry, and roared their displeasure. Hannah, flustered, hurried over and plopped down next to Samuel.
"What a rush, huh?" Samuel asked.
"Yeah." Hannah said, but before a conversation could be started, it was Maya's turn. Hannah bit her lip in her impatience, but as quick as it touched her head it yelled "GRYNFINDOR!" Hannah cheer loudly, as did the rest of the people by the table. Maya's face was bright when she joined them.
"That was fun!" She said, eyes glittering. Hannah grinned, and settled down for the rest of the ceremony.
***
After a large and time-consuming meal, the boy with the 'H' badge stood up.
"My name is Jackson, and I am the Headmaster in Training. My dad has fallen ill, so it is up to me to run the school. I hope you will all behave." at this, most of the chattering stopped, "And classes will start tomorrow."
A woman said other intrustions, and then four teachers descended from their high positions at the teacher table and came to a set table. A woman with red hair came to theirs, and Maya recognized her easily.
"Aunt Ginny?" She asked, amazed. Her aunt laughed.
"Yeah, it's me. How's you're dad doing?" Ginny asked Hannah hopefully.
"Still married," Hannah replied, knowing Ginny's feelings for Harry.
"Yeah, I'd suppose," Ginny replied, and her face fell momentarily. "Come on, get up. Time to go to your rooms."
Hannah got up, and brushed the crumbs of her robes. Many other people followed suit, and Ginny finally ushered them away. Hannah couldn't quite remember how they got there; She was literally half-asleep. But she realized which were boys and which were girls, and slowly made her way up the steps.
She recognized her bed, as it had two trunks by it. She slowly made her way through one, getting her pajamas, and going to the bathroom to get into them. But once she snuggled into the bed, she was out instantly, with a last, fleeting thought that she hoped Harvey was having such a good time as she was.
***
The one great thing about being the one of the only boys was the large, empty dorm. No one was usually in it- and it was comfortable enough. Jasmine also was not allowed in. )
But where the beds were it was always cold, and you had to put your robe by the fire to warm it up, so you'd not be unbearably cold up there when you are getting ready to go to bed or warming up the cold blankets. He was freezing up there.
As he shivered to himself, he thought about Hannah. And Maya, and how much fun they were probably having.
With a light jump, Sirus snuggled into the bed, lying down on Harvey's feet. His soft fur and body heat was welcome. Harvey stretched to give the dog a final pat before slowly dozing off.

Silver: I'm TIRED.
Starz: Go to bed then.
Shim: I think I'll follow you're advice. Bye bye, readers!
