Chapter 3 – Like to extend a Welcome.

"Hello, I'll like to welcome you back to Hogwarts Miss. Weasly, and extend to you Miss. Cale a welcome for joining us this year" Dumbledore said as he usher them into his office. They had just arrived at Hogwarts after a long trip and all they wanted to do was go to bed.

"Thank you, Pro. Dumbledore it is nice to be back" Sage could see how untrue that really was. As they had travel to London from New York, Rain had talk very little and whenever Sage had try to talk to her she avoided talking about it.

Sage was the only one that really new what Rain had gone though her first year here. It had been hard for Rain to talk about it. Sage had seen the pain in Rain's eyes being a empathy she even felt some of the pain. She was even able to see some of what happen just don't asks her how she was able to see it. It was because of that they were able to become such good friends Sage knew when to back off and let Ginny not Rain but Ginny just be Ginny. And during the trip she had let Ginny be.

It had given her time to think and for Sage thinking as Rain will have said was never a good thing. If you had ask anyone who knew her what she was thinking they would say trouble. Cause usually whenever she thought things though it would lead to more trouble then if she hadn't. But at that point she hadn't been thinking of causing trouble. Although right now looking at Hogwarts she wishes she had. In truth she was thinking of what had been place before her. She wasn't afraid of the unknown hell those always lead to the best adventure. No she new this was the time and place for it was going to happen no matter what and it had to be here. No she was afraid of having to bring forth the others, she had hope she'll have more time to get thing ready but it wasn't going to be.

"I don't want to keep you to long you are probably tired after your trip. In the morning you both will be taking placement exams. To determine what kind of course load you will have. Each course exam will be 3 hour long, with you either testing into 5, 6, or 7th level or even out of" Dumbledore explain as he led them to their room.

"Excuse me both of us" That surprise them both Sage, the most she hadn't thought about her course work at all. She had just assumed they were going to be here till Rain took her exam. Not that they were going to be taking classes Rain maybe but not her.

Girls Room

The door that led to the room had like to rest of Hogwarts a portrait in front of it. Saying "Cheesecake" to the Scarlet O'Hara wanna be was a bit amusing. As they walk though the door it opens into a good size living room with a fireplace off to the right. Right in front was a plush sofa with a carpet under it. Direct in front of them was two stair cases that Dumbledore had inform them that the one that led up was to the bedrooms. The one that went down was to a practice area so that they will be able to keep up with there physical needs. They even had a kitchen with a little dinning area. Another area set up into a study lounge with two desks.

"This is very unusually for us. Your headmistress and I were able to come to term on a lot of issues. Such being your need for privacy Miss Wealsy your family have yet to be contacted about your return its up to you if you want them to know. We were able to put a field around your room to allow use of those toplaps. Also for your safety we are going to be using Miss. Weasly alias of Rain. Well good night and don't worry too much about those exams." Dumbledore left the two girls.

"So what do you think of Hogwarts?" Rain had moved to sit in front of the sofa.

"The jury still out on that one. The jury would like to know how much trouble one can get into. As for me it feels to dead empty and cold here. I like a little more life, who knows it might just get better once we meet some people." Sage just sat down in front of the fire on the floor.

"Yea, you wanna know something I don't really remember anybody here. I know my brothers, and Harry but that just because"

"You were only here for a year remember so I am not surprise. Are going to tell you family you're here maybe now is the time to contact them. I mean with your brothers here an all as you said"

"No, I don't think so. Not now at least"

"Its up to you hey lets head off to bed. We can unpack on Sunday after the exams are over"

That very weekend

Just as Dumbledore had said each exam was supposes to be 3 hours long. But it actually varied in each course.

In Charms they both enter in level 7. Tranfiguration they were in 6. But in Astrometry Sage got into 7, Rain made it into 6. The Muggle studies exam took less then an hour to compete; they were able to test out something that was unheard of in Hogwarts. So when they were also able to test out of Defense Against the Dark Arts they knew it made the teacher start to wonder. Potions and Arthmeties was never one of Sages best class so it took her longer then Rain. So while Sage was in level 6 Rain made it into 7.

"Sage, how did you cheat in those subjects?" They both know that Rain was the smarter of the two of them. But for them they didn't care who was smarter then whom.

"I don't know how I pass." Sage was feeling real proud of herself she didn't here what Rain really said till she hear Rain gigging "Hey wait what you said" When Sage had turn around she saw Rain hiding behind a pillow. "I didn't cheat" Sage threw a pillow at Rain.

Dinner Sunday Night

They had spent the whole day unpacking and setting up their room. Computer and all, I.C.SS had give all there students a school set. It was mostly a laptop that had been charmed to never need charging and was connect to a satellite so they had internet access not matter were they went. As well as set up some of there own survival kit they had brought. A stereo and a T.V with DVD player and VCR even a play station.

And now Rain and Sage were heading to dinner. Sage had worn her long black hair in lose wet curls surrounding her oval face. She never really wore makeup so she didn't feel the need to start now. With her almond shape brown eyes and tan skin why need to. She wore a pink and black lace tank top, with black hip hugger jeans and black heel boots. The weather here was much colder here so she had opted to wear her black biker jacket. (I always wanted one of those. Think Jessica Alba in Dark Angel)

Sage after much pushing was wearing a black skirt with a white blouse. Nothing over the top but with her creamy skin and her dark red hair it gave her a dramatic look. And a pair of white knee high with black pumps. Rain opted to wear a light black cloak the tie at her neck and fell to the tip of her knees. Rain did wear a little make up mostly in the hope that her brother wouldn't notice her.

"Hello, Dumbledore, has asked that I lead you two up to the head table. So that he may seat you at one of the house table. Seeing as you are not residing within a house you have yet to meet anyone. For now you will be seating at the Ravenclaw table"

"Excuse me sir but who are you" Sage was one who had great respect for everyone. But for some reason this guy rub her wrong.

"Pro. Snape, your potion teacher. And let me worn you now whatever you think of how well you did on your entrance exam will bear no fruit in my class. I expect you to work hard" With that they enter the Great Hall.
