(I would have written more this time, but I needed to study for a US History test...Plus, this was a great place to end it... Oh, where there's a break between the big chunks of paragraphs, I'll write Break ok? Well, anyways, enjoy.)

By the time the train stopped, Hermione and Luna, who had resumed their fangirl-ish screaming after the incident with Cid, had finally calmed down about the fact that two of their classmates were Sephiroth and Zack. Harry still didn't understand why that was so cool. He was partial to Ron's perspective on the scheme of things: What was so cool about having a murdering psychopath and one of the aforementioned's victims as classmates? Weren't there enough crazy people at the school already? Then again, Malfoy might get what had been coming to him since who knows how long. If the murdering psychopath named Sephiroth had a temper.

Harry just realized what he had just thought was incredibly stupid. Of course a murdering psychopath would have a temper! Otherwise, he wouldn't be a murdering psychopath! Harry hit himself on the forehead.

Thinking about how insane this year's gonna be? Ginny queried. She giggled a bit as they all collected their luggage to take to the carriages. Well, as they tried to get to their to take it to the carriages. There was a huge hold up, and when a blond, a brunette, and an older looking student with silver hair fell out of the luggage car, backwards, with a rather embarrassed looking blond standing just inside the car, everyone burst out laughing.

The blond still in the train car got down and started to help the three buried under the luggage out. However, he was making little progress since most of the students trampled the pile of luggage that was burying the three. Then a raven-haired young man stepped out and told everyone to freeze, but, at the same time, he had unwittingly cast the spell Freeze as well, and now had three rather put off buried under a pile of frozen luggage.

Hermione and Luna stared wide-eyed at the raven-haired one. God, what the eff's wrong with them? Don't tell me that porcupine-haired guy's Ron always had a knack for saying the wrong things at the wrong time. What? Did I say something wrong? Ron now had two particularly mad fan girls angry at him, but he was lucky that they were more interested at looking at that porcupine-haired guy know also known as Zack, who now was aiding the blond who wasn't trapped under a pile of luggage to disinter their friends from the makeshift avalanche of suitcases.

Hey... Luna... That blond look familiar? Hermione asked. She had the nagging feeling she knew who that guy was too, but couldn't quite put her finger on who he was. I don't think I recognize him from FFVII. Maybe another game?

Hmm... I don't think so. He looks too normal to be from FF or any other RPG I've ever played. While Luna said that, another blonde and another guy with black-brown hair seemingly came over to help their friends out. But they weren't there for that reason. They started ridiculing the second blond's speed of getting rid of the luggage. Eventually, the second blond started yelling at the newcomers in a language that none of the normal (keyword normal) Hogwarts students had ever heard.

Harry was dumbfounded. Ever heard any shred of that language before? It doesn't sound European, African, Australian, Native American or Asian. Heck, it doesn't sound of this Earth!

Ron looked at Harry like he was crazy. Now you're starting to sound like Luna. Not of this Earth.' What's next? A singing dancing mouse with it's own amusement park?! Harry and Hermione decided they had an obligation to all muggles to hit Ron. Only at this school could someone try to say something that they think is so entirely impossible that it actually was possible or did exist.

Hermione and Luna were still trying to figure out who the second blonde was. They had already identified the third blonde as someone from the magical girls genre, but were unable to figure out which one. They were pretty sure it was one with a heart theme, but that didn't really narrow it down too much. The second black or dark brown haired one had been classified as one of those characters with little to no brain capacity, but was still given very dangerous and destructive weapons anyway.

Luna had an idea. Why don't we concentrate on guessing who the three that were buried under the luggage are instead of the blond guy who we're unable to identify? I mean, we know that the silver-haired dude was Sephy-sama, so who would the blond and brunette be? Hermione and Luna stood there thinking for a while, and decided that that was impossible to determine, too. Well, only until they saw the new kids in person.

Ron suddenly had an idea. Wait... If this guy is the evil dude... Who's the good guy...? Is the good guy blond? Cuz, I mean, when those three fell out of the train car, they didn't really look like they were enjoying sitting next to each other... Luna was dumbfounded by Ron. You know, I really wouldn't have expected you to say that. It was way to intelligent... Almost as if Neo had discovered how to get to Emc2 without help. Ginny had no idea why this was funny, but giggled along with Hermione and Luna anyway.

Break

Get me the fuck out from under here! Aeris was practically screaming. She hadn't fallen on any of the guys weird or either of the guys fallen on her in an interesting way, but the two others were arguing worse than they had when they had been stuck together on the train. However, Aeris was drowned out by Luke, who was still yelling at Serena and Neo for not helping.

Cloud turned to look at Aeris. Did you just cuss? Cloud was astonished. Sephiroth noticed the look on Cloud's face, and started to make fun of him for it. It was so easy to turn anything Cloud said into a completely dense statement. Zack heard nothing, though, because he had decided to wear earplugs for the remainder of the trip from the train to the castle, though it seemed that they would never get there.

Squall then came by, with all of their luggage and the rest of the party, and decided to just watch Cloud suffer. It was definitely going to be his only source of amusement for the rest of the year, but Squall didn't feel like complaining because he was perfectly fine with that. Unfortunately, Squall's amusement was cut short as Tifa hit him. Come on! If we just leave them there, we'll never get this bloody year over with! Rufus nodded his head in agreement.

Once Tifa had turned her back, Squall glared at Rufus. You're such a suck up. She's just using you, you know. Rufus laughed. Right... Well, I don't really care. Besides, I'd watch my back if I were you. The Turks are vacationing in the town near this place. Squall decided to be a pain in the ass to Rufus. Well, yeah, but how could they even try to beat me up when they're too busy getting stoned? Rufus just glared. After a minute or two of glaring in silence, Tifa yelled, Now would be a good time to help! Since getting Tifa pissed wasn't exactly a good idea, Squall and Rufus started to help Aeris, Cloud and Sephiroth out from underneath the luggage.

Yuna decided her time would be better spent trying to keep Luke from killing Neo and Serena, but soon realized that it was useless. Rath then joined her watching Neo and Serena making some of the stupidest arguments known to man about why they didn't want to help. One such argument included that they didn't want to help because they didn't want to catch any strange disease from Sephiroth. That was a negated point because they had earlier finished off his food when they were eating breakfast. Before Seph had decided that he was finished. The two idiots had hid in the closet for an hour before everyone had been able to get them to come out. Squall and Cloud had tried to help by getting Yuffie, Selphie, and Rikku high on sugar and caffeine (via pixy sticks in coffee) and setting them loose in the very small closet, but that had only made it worse.

Speaking of the three hyper ones, Squall and Rath had managed to get them all in straightjackets before they got off the train, and were currently looking like a wizard or witch's familiars. By this point, Serena and Neo were starting to argue with each other, and Luke concluded that it was pointless trying to reason with them, and began to help out with the pile of luggage.

A minute later, Tifa helped Aeris out of the mountain of luggage. Just for fun, now that she was free, Aeris kicked Sephiroth for no apparent reason. Ow! What was that for?! Aeris stared at him with a look that said, I dunno, maybe because you KILLED me? rolled her eyes, and then walked out of Sephiroth's line of vision.

Next, Zack's diligent work paid off, and he helped Sephiroth out. Cloud was then the only one left under the luggage. I feel so unloved. Squall couldn't take it anymore, and he started laughing. Oh, shut up, Squall! It's not that funny! Cloud was still pinned down by a few pieces of luggage and decided to get himself out to throttle Squall. He was able to, but tripped over some luggage and fell on his face. There was also a loud cracking sound as luggage fell over back onto Cloud and now Squall as well. Squall stopped laughing and glared at Cloud. Cloud was more concerned with the sound, and the pain in his leg. I think I broke my leg...

Luke was seriously unamused and pretty damn embarrassed that he knew them, but he and Zack helped Cloud and Squall out from under the pile of suitcases. Lo and behold, the cracking sound had been Cloud's leg, which was now bent a way that didn't seem to be all that natural. Remembering some of field medicine, Luke decided it would be a good idea set the break. Zack, guessing at what Luke was going to do, found his CD player and turned up the volume to it's highest level. Cloud noticed Zack getting the CD player. He then addressed Luke. W-what are you gonna do...? Wait... You're not gonna set it are you?! Cloud groaned. Ah, great... Why'd this have to happen to me...? Sephiroth started laughing. Cloud glared at Sephiroth.

After Luke set the bones back into place (and a very loud scream later), Squall offered Selphie's nanchaku to act as a brace. Rikku, who had mysteriously set free, procured some duct tape.

Somehow, I really don't want to know why you carry duct tape with you everywhere... Aeris said to Rikku. Yuna patted her on the back. Sometimes it's better that we don't know. That saying, what was it? Ignorance is bliss'? Is really, really true. Now Aeris really, really didn't want to know. Little did she know, Yuna was just messing with her. She had no clue why that hyper insane cousin of hers carried duct tape around. Nor did she have any intention of ever knowing.

Vince was thoroughly rankled at both Cid and Leia. They hadn't stopped bickering since after he changed back from being Chaos. Now, he was hearing things. There had been some sort of inhuman shriek, and that had further prevented him from atoning. Another thing that had been preventing him from atoning was that the others still hadn't met them at the carriages. Reflecting upon that particular fact, Vince decided that the shriek was probably Cloud. It sounded like Cloud. Now, what would make him scream like that? Vince decided to continue meditating on that question while in the coffin he'd brought.

Break

Everyone who had passed had concluded that either Cid or Leia was in the necromancy or undertaking business. Now, both of them had a reason to be pissed off at Vince. Leia decided to kick the coffin, which caused Vince to sit up rapidly and hit the cover of the coffin. Nice one, Cid commented, and he grinned. She grinned back. Maybe Cid wasn't all that bad. After all, he sort of reminded her of Han. Sort of.

Leia started looking around. Where the hell are they?! As she spoke, Sephiroth walked by rather quickly, looking rather scared. Cid dropped the cigarette he was about to light in surprise. Then a pissed off Aeris walked quickly after him, and there was a loud crash. Aeris then walked back to where Leia, Cid, and the coffin were.

Luke walked over. Sorry we're late, but... He pointed at Cloud. We had some technical difficulties... Squall held up a randomly materialized sign saying ... ... ... ...yeah. Cloud tried to kick Squall with his non-broken leg, missed, lost his balance, and fell over. Luke didn't bother looking to see what had happened. Cloud fell over, didn't he?

Leia replied. They all stood there for a few seconds, and then Leia spoke again. Maybe we should get going? Everyone nodded their heads in agreement. Except Vince. He was snoring. Loudly.

God is he embarrassing... Sephiroth commented. Cloud snickered. Shut up. Seph kicked Cloud in the leg. The broken one. Luckily, it didn't break again, but Cloud fell over in pain anyway. Aeris glared at Seph, and went over to help Cloud up. When Aeris had her back turned, Seph stuck his tongue out at her.

Cid hit his head against the side of the train. Leia decided it was a good time to make a snide comment. Well, we know that they'll have no problem acting like immature teenagers. Seph didn't hear, and continued to make faces at Aeris' back. Tifa, on the other hand, was wondering how the hell a guy like that had become a supervillian and then realized that Aeris acted just as immature behind Sephiroth's back, so there was really no point to her train of thought, so with no other applicable response, she sighed.

With the entire group together, they started towards the place where the carriages were. On arriving, the entire group looked in awe at the weird, black, underfed-looking, pegasus-type horse-things. Of course, everyone else stared at them staring at the thestrals, thinking that the exchange students were insane. Of course, little did the others know that some of them could be proclaimed certifiably insane by the State and therefore not held accountable for any of their actions. But, the normal students did not have any of this information, with the exception of Luna and Hermione, so they didn't know that they were having a normal reaction.

As the group of dysfunctionality (who put the in ) was staring at the thestrals in complete astonishment, mostly because apparently no one else realized that the carriages were being drawn by most likely some animals from the hellfire, Harry and company was walking around looking for some carriages to ride in. After Hermione and Luna got in, Harry saw the other group and was instantly happy that he now wasn't certifiably insane about the thestrals. Right before he was about to report this to Ron and Hermione, who were about to say the same thing since they had witnessed Sirius' , Aeris shrieked, Oh my God, they're so cute! and ran over to hug a thestral on an empty carriage right next to Harry, Hermione, Luna, and Ron's. Intrigued by the sound, Luna and Hermione stepped out of the carriage to see Aeris hugging a thestral.

Since Aeris had now traumatized the poor animal, Sephiroth found that it was imperative he ride in that carriage. Aeris was obviously going in that one, too, so Zack decided to go with them because bad things happen when Aeris and Sephiroth are left alone in small places. Cloud was being helped along by Zack, so he went with them by default. He also had wanted to sit with Aeris, though.

Luna then turned to Hermione. Well, we know who the brunette was. They stood there in silence for a few seconds. Wow... Ron was right about who the blond was, then. Ron put on a big grin.

Don't inflate his ego bigger than it needs to be. It might explode and take the little left of his brain along with it... Hermione trailed off. She then glanced at the rest of the group, and noticed a coffin. She pointed Luna in the direction of it. I think I know who the other DADA teacher is... Harry followed their line of sight... to the coffin. He stepped away a bit. Hermione noticed. Oh, don't worry. The guy's not dead... Or a vampire... Just... Weird...

You could say that again, Sephiroth mumbled under his breath, as he passed them to get into the carriage. He put a slightly long case inside the carriage. To most students, they thought that it was some strange musical instrument that needed to be handled with care. To Hermione and Luna, it practically screamed Look at me! I'm a six foot long sword named Masamune! Oh, did I mention that my master's one hell of a crazy bastard?

Luke and Rath had been (much to their displeasure) grouped with Serena and Neo for the duration of the carriage ride. Well, there went their plan for getting some rest. Leia then grouped Yuna with the three insane ones. And for doing so, apologized profusely. Then slipped her a $1000. The only ones remaining were Squall (now who's unloved?), Tifa, Rufus, and the three . Unfortunately, there was only one carriage left without anyone in it. It suddenly became a race. Tifa, Leia, Rufus, and Cid made it there first. Dark Nation, Rufus's cat-leopard thing who had been on a leash, then lazily walked over Squall, who had tripped on (aka Rufus' foot) and fell face first into the mud. Just to make a point, Dark Nation jumped on Squall's head before stepping off of him. Little did the cat know, Squall had just declared war on it, and this war would take priority over laughing at Cloud or plotting how to get rid of Seifer. He would get his revenge... Oh yes, he would get his revenge. And this is the point at which lightning should strike and there would be maniacal laughter, but Squall had some problems with the laughter since his face was in the dirt and there was only a light sprinkling of rain.

Malfoy, who had witnessed the entire incident and was quite repulsed at making friends with a , decided to let Squall ride with him and his goonies, but only because he dig up some dirt on the exchange students. He walked over to Squall, who was having some problems with the vacuum powers of mud, and helped him up. Then, with a completely straight face, said, Need a ride?

Squall, since he was not blond and therefore exponentially smarter than most cliché blonds are characteristically, was distrustful and suspicious of Malfoy. Thanks... That would be really great... Squall glanced over at the coffin, and remembered Vincent. If he left Vince there, no one would realize until the year was over. I, uh, need some help with the coffin, though.

Malfoy and his goons were taken aback by this comment, but Malfoy was the only one that didn't show it. He snapped his fingers, and the goons picked up the coffin and strapped it to the roof of the carriage. What an odd thing to carry around... Malfoy decided to chance it. May I ask what's in it?

Squall decided to make his mark on this school. Or at least Slytherin. Hell, just on Malfoy was good enough. Nothing really. Just some body. Sephiroth was gonna get a kick outta that...
