Meetings

"You're doing very well for someone who just got their license."

"Mom, I've had it for two weeks."

"Then you must have gotten it while I was away on that cruise. Why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't because you'd have made a big deal about it and insist that you video tape it, which would embarrass me to no ends, especially if I failed."

"Oh, well you're here now. See you at Christmas."

"Bye Mom,"

"Be good,"

"Bye Mom,"

"Play nice, make some new friends, and have a good time,"

"MOM!"

"Sorry. Bye,"

A red headed girl leaped out of a blue Jeep Wrangler and waved over her shoulder at a likewise red headed middle aged woman. As the jeep drove off, the girl smiled and turned around. "Shit!"

Regaining her composure, she walked over and examined the two people searching for something on the beach; one was a blonde boy, the other a really ugly girl. "Hey, y'all lookin' for something?" she asked. The boy stopped to look up and asked, sounding a bit breathless, "Not unless you know where Atlantis is, um, Miss?"

Draco's POV: 'Whoa'

Nia's POV: 'Is that guy checkin' me out? Ew!'

"Whoa! Nia, is that you?"

Nia turned around and saw a blonde dragging two kids with her, a brunette girl with fuzzy brown hair 'Which our Texas Heat is doing nothing for' and a boy with glasses and messy black hair 'Don't they have combs in Brittan?' Nia can't keep her thoughts civil.

"Hey Jojo, are those two the other kids?" Nia asked.

"Yup, did you have to wear that outfit? It sets a bad example!" Jojo complained.

"I like this outfit though," Nia replied unconcernedly. Her shirt was a white spaghetti strap top with a black heart on the front and her pants were denim cutoff shorts, short shorts. Her hair was hanging around her shoulders, loose and wavy.

"So, you're Nia, and this is Jojo? Are those short for Nina and Jocelyn?" The brunette girl asked.

"Nope, I am Nia, and Jojo is a nick-name. Her real name is-"

"NOOOO! You know I hate my name!"

"Her real name is Daniel Kimberly" Nia explained, "So, now you know us, who are you?"

"We're from Hogwarts, I'm Hermione, and this is Harry." The brunette said brightly.

"Hermione and Harry, Harry and Hermione, hm…" Nia mused, "And what about those two clowns?"

"I am Draco Malfoy, pleased to meet you," Draco said, gazing at Nia

Draco's POV: 'Nia, that's a pretty name, perfect for a pretty girl'

Pansey's POV: 'Is Draco checking out that thing?!?!?

"Well I am Pansey Parkinson!" The pug faced girl said, glaring at Nia with contempt.

"Well, I suppose we best be getting to school, Jojo and I had our keys mailed to us. How far did you have to travel to get here? I know Jojo had to fly from CA."

"We had to fly from Brittan, in my father's private jet," Draco said smugly.

"Well, he obviously has cash, good for him." Jojo said.

"We flew on the international airlines, they were quite nice." Hermione answered, looking around for the school.

"My family rented a beach house. It is a thirty minute drive from here."

"Lucky duck," Jojo grumbled, "How are y'all likin' Texas so far?"

Hermione, Harry, Draco, and Pansey were a bit confused as to what some of the language the two girls had used.

Everyone's POV: 'I hope the whole year won't be like this all year.'
