And of course the thing I will be starting every time….a summary for this chapter!

Finally when the kids have everything and make it their way to Hogwarts, their thoughts, their magic, but most importantly, their stalkers.

Because I'm so lazy, yeah, yeah I know. I just thought I'd tell you I will not be writing in anything about Diagon ally because there's nothing to write. There were no encounters because it's in the middle of the school year and all. They got their things end of story

Definition: Siren: A mythical creature who lures men to their death as she sings on the rocks of the sea. They are then entranced by her voice and steer into the rocks, bringing death upon all who hear her voice, leaving the mermaid type creature to swim away to find her next victims.

"What kind of wand do you have?" Akasha asked excitedly.

"Cobra fang Maple!" Charlie smiled.

"Nice, but mines better." Dark informed. "Thestral scale Willow."

"Nuh uh. Giocorn fur Oak." Storm bragged.

"Dragon hair Cherry wood." Lucifer smiled. "Beat that."

"Mermaid fin Pine." Phillip smiled. "Easily sacrificed. Can you beat it Kash?" She smiled.

"Yeah, I can." She grinned. "My parents went to that shop." There was a pause. "My dad had a Dragon Heartstring Mahogany; my mom had a Phoenix Feather Unicorn blood mix, Mahogany based." She smiled.

"Well, what do you have?"

"Phoenix Feather Siren scream mixed. Mahogany."

"Only you'd have siren scream." Charlie laughed.

"You who can sing better then Christina."

"Ha ha very funny." Akasha rolled her eyes.

"No. Truthfully. You know I'm right."

"No. I don't." She sighed and sat up. "I need to go to bed. I'm beat."

She walked up to her room with Storm quickly, not looking back. Her friends stayed at the tables of the leaky cauldron looking at their wands like they were weapons.

"She's pissed." Lucifer told.

"Why?" Charlie asked confused.

"Don't you remember what we said while we came here? We're putting the pasts behind us. We're new people. No one knows anything about us, it's a fresh start. Don't you remember what her parents-"

They weren't my parent's Lucifer Akasha whispered inside of his mind. She was listening to the whole conversation.

"Don't you remember what her foster parents used to do because she could sing?" Charlie lowered his head.

"Yeah, I remember." He mumbled.

"Should you talk to her?" Storm told. Smiling simply. "Because, that's what boyfriend and girlfriend do."

"Shut up!" He too stomped off to his room. There was a long drawn out silence where Storm couldn't resist saying,

"And then there were four." Everyone else rolled their eyes and went to their rooms, leaving her to tread heavily alone behind them.

"Come on, Akasha! GET UP!" Storm shook Akasha roughly. "Come on, Dumbledore's going to leave in THIRTY MINUTES!" Akasha's eyes snapped open.

"What!" She quickly (with her new found magic ;-) took a shower and got dressed into a magenta sweater and nice dark blue jeans which were faded on the tops of the thighs. She ran downstairs.

"Why didn't you wake me up sooner?" she asked them.

"You were pissed. We know what you can do when you're pissed." Lucifer noted. "Besides, now if you can't get to us you have magic to back yourself up!" Everyone laughed. "I'm not joking! Have you seen her when she's tired?"

"Yeah, she can sleep through anything." Phillip laughed. Everyone stopped. "Oh...I'm sorry. I'm SO sorry." He told Akasha.

"No. Don't be. I don't even know what you're talking about." She said, even though she did, but she wanted to start fresh. That meant no memories. No anything.

Dumbledore entered and not a moment to soon. He looked at each of them and then their trunks full of their school supplies and only possessions.

"Let's go. The port key is ready."

"It's so...big." Phillip gasped.

"It's so...pretty." Storm said wide eyed.

"It's so...amazing." Akasha said in awe.

"It's Hogwarts." Dumbledore smiled.

The walls were all stained brick, a beautiful parchment brown colour. It had amazing high ceilings and intricate designs all over the castle. The moving staircases baffled them, and made them smile. It was absolutely amazing. Dumbledore took them to one of the seven towers.

"These will be your dormitories until you are sorted to your proper houses the day second term begins which will be January Fourth." Dumbledore informed. "I would appreciate it if you did not go into the males' dormitories and vice versa. I will leave you to get used to it. Have fun." And he left out the portrait door.

The room was all in deep burgundies and purples, making the room seem warm and welcoming. If the menacing shadows weren't cast along the walls it would seem comfortable. There were two couches which were dark purple Swede, and three beautiful chairs which were the same material. They were all facing towards an already burning fire which warmed the room and sent dangerous looking shadows dashing against the walls. At the other side there was a refrigerator type machine which gave you a snack of your choice, and a matching eight person table to sit at. Then, too the sides of the giant common room were some desks, which were also (as the rest of the room was) made out of extremely dark cherry wood. Too the two sides of the room were two openings, obviously leading to the sleeping area's.

The guys rushed up automatically to their dormitories, the girls to theirs. Personally, the girls thought this would be the most fun ever, having a whole dormitory area to themselves, and if they didn't want to be alone, the boys were just a few walls away and they could sit in the common room together. The boy's thought this brilliant because no one would be watching them play truth or dare how typical, I had to add it . The boy's and girls dormitories were similar, but also different.

The girls had violet velvet and Swede on their four poster beds. The curtains around the beds were velvet and the comforter was Swede. They had large closets to fit their many wardrobes, and some dresser drawers. And of course a night stand with a Swede covered lamp by each bed.

The boy's had the same beds, but they didn't have closets, only two dressers. Why two they had no idea, but then again why would a girl have a closet and a dresser? The guys had room for their brooms, and once the girls found this out they were insulted.

"Girls could want to fly just as much as boys!" Storm told.

"Don't worry, I think you got the upside of the deal here." Dark told.

"How so?" Akasha asked.

"In case you haven't seen this place," Dark began. "It's pure purple."

"Do you have something against purple?" Storm asked.

"No, not at all. It's just it's purple."

"So?" Akasha asked.

"It's so...un-masculine." Charlie scowled.

"It's so...X chromazone." Lucifer sneered.

"It's so...girly." Phillip shook his head.

"It's so...perfect!" Storm told. "Not to girly, not too un-girly!"

"Sorry Storm. I'm gunna have to agree with the boys." Akasha shook her head. "One thing I will keep from the past. I have a girls figure, but a boy's mind. And this is pretty feminine."

"Thank god!" Charlie praised. "Thank god you're not a clone."

"God, Snape's a jerk! I don't like him. At all. One bit. I officially hate potions." Phillip sneered.

"You're telling me? Look at McGonagall! Look at all the homework!" Storm whimpered.

"Uh, guys. Defense Against the Dark Arts? Professor Danes? Ew, man at first I thought she was pretty. How old you think she is? I'm guessing 20…anyways, look how mean she was. No one cares about the Goth Kid." Dark scowled. Akasha hooked her arm around him.

"Awe, is the little baby sad? Suck it up, Goth's show no fear. Come on. She's just a girl." Akasha told.

"No, no, no…Who thinks Flitwick is boring?" Charlie asked.

"Hell yes!" Everyone chanted.

"What about Trelawny, pretty…twisted ain't she?" Storm asked.

"She creeps me out."

"Prophesize this, prophesize that. Blah, blah, blah."

"Amen." Akasha sighed. "What about Hagrid? I like him."

"Definitly on my favourite teacher list." Charlie told.

"Well, unlike some people, I'm glad there's a young pretty woman teaching. I like Danes too." Akasha told.

"Well, you're weird." Phillip told.

"No shit Sherlock." Storm told.

"Come one. Let's go. Everyone will be coming back for breakfast. We don't want anyone to see us. Remember what Dumbledore said? We're to be like Vampires. Never be discovered until the time is right." Dark explained.

"Yeah, yeah. Personally, I'd like to stay and meet some new faces. There could be some hot guys at this school." Akasha grinned.

"And we're going to tame 'em all!" The girls laughed.

"Says the two best players of the game."

The game. The game was fun at the beginning. Really the first way they all met. In school, the girls (meaning Storm and Akasha) would hunt down all the hot guys and date them, and eventually break their hearts. Sadly (well in Akasha's opinion) she could never tame Charlie. Because Storm had him. But she wanted to tame him…and never let him go. If you haven't read Deal With A Ghost I highly suggest it. It's a great book and that's where I got my idea about the game with.

"But he's right. We can't make a bad first impression." Akasha explained. "Not at a witchcraft and Wizardry school."

"Hey, it's no moon tonight. Do you think we should cast a protection spell against the school?" Charlie asked walking backwards to face them all. Akasha looked at him for a moment, and resumed her stare at the floor. She could never look at him. Not at his drilling, freezing, paralyzing blue eyes.

"Nah. They've got it covered."

'So the girl is there?'

'Yes Master.'

'And you are sure?'

'Of course.'

'And you have him there to turn her?'

'Yes my lord. He knows of his mission, and he will set out on it as soon as term starts.'

'Good. Very good. I like good news, you will be rewarded. WORMTAIL!' He called. A chubby man came in, he was balding all the way around his head, only leaving hair on the rim of his scull.

'Yes m'lord?'

'Tell everyone. It all begins January 4th.'

'January Fourth sir?'

'Beginning of term.'

'Tell everyone? Tell them it…begins?'

'Yes. The girl will soon be ours.'
