Chapter 3: First impressions.
After the incident at Diagon Ally, the weeks passed quickly. Serenia taught History of Magic which every one enjoyed thoroughly, particularly when she started role playing.
Ami was, of course, teaching Transfiguration. Best part: all of it. Was it hard? Many of the girls would have replied with a sarcastic "Is the sky blue?"
Rei and Trista teamed up and taught Divination. Because of this, everyone became extraordinarily experienced with fire-reading.
Lita taught DADA. As indicated from their earlier performances, Annette and Artemis soared at the head of the class with flying colors.
Mina taught charms. To put it in simple terms, her students became so good so fast that they soon became bored and sent her flying around the classroom, or tap dancing across the ceiling.
Michelle taught CoMC. Her course included creatures ranging from flobberworms to blast ended skrewts and Chimeras. Yes, Chimeras. You don't want to know.
And last but not least, Potions. Amara did surprisingly well, considering that they had 4 weeks to cover 4 years worth of potion making.
Finally, September first arrived.
Everyone was packed and ready to go by 10:30, and had plenty of gear that a normal teenage girl would have with her, including diskmans, CDs of all kinds, headphones, cellphones, and laptops. Only one catch: they ran better with extream magic around.
To avoid suspicion and other strange looks, they decided to travle by portkey this time round. It took a while to choose one, but they eventually decieded on a soccor ball. Maby they could play a few rounds at school...
They arrived at the platform, so they didn't have to bother with the protal.
The girls went on board and stowed their luggage, dumped their stuff in one of the compartments at the back, and went back out to see the other students arriving.
Many where already on the platform and getting onto the train. But through the crowd, Artemis immediately spotted Harry Potter and his friends Ron and Hermione.She cast a spell to make herself invisible, and crept up behind them. They, at the moment, were simply exchanging hellos. Then she heard her mom call her.
She flew over the heads of the students, landed in front of her, and muttered the counter curse. Lita looked surprised, then straightened her face.
"Girls? GIRLS!" that caught everyone's attention. Messing with Lita when she was in a bad mood wasn't healthy. "You are to go to Dumbledore at christmas break, and he will send you to where you will be staying during the holidays. We will be there. I can't tell you where, as ears to the dark side are everywhere. Most likely we will also be staying there throughout summer vacation. Ok, go make a good first impression. Remember your training."
Lita drew in her daughter, and gave her a long hug. "Make me proud." She wispered in her ear. They parted slighly, and Artemis saw tears in her mother's eyes. They embraced each other again, and Artemis said to her mother "Love ya mom. Call if you need me." *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~
On board the train, the Girls settled themselves in and were surprised to find extra room in their compartment, even though there were already eight of them in there.
They were just about to break out their CDs and CD players when there was a knock at the door. Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny were standing there. Harry spoke up.
"Mind if we sit here? Everywhere else is full." Crystal smiled, and nodded. They came in, and settled themselves in. The girls went back to their packs and dug out their stuff.
Artemis turned to Marrissa. "Did you bring your Avril Lavinge CD? Mind if I listen to it?" Marissia handed it over to her, and then she caught the look on Hermione's face.
"Electricty doesn't work at Hogwarts, didn't you know?" Artemis grinned at her and nodded. "Yeah, we know. But these have been specialy adapted to work with magic as well as electricity." "Oh." Hermione looked slightly put out that she had accually been wrong about something. Silence filled the compartment, which Harry eventually broke.
"So, who are you? I don't think that I've seen you around before."
To Harry, their reaction to this was rather strange. They became very alert all at once. Then Annette answered.
"We're transfer students from a school in Tokyo. We're all in fifth year, so we'll have to be sorted when we get there."
"Wow. Tokyo. Must have been nice." Ron looked slightly in awe.
Hermione gave Ron a look of annoyance. "My name is Hermione Granger. This is Ron Weasly and Harry Potter. What are your names?"
They introduced themselves, once again starting with Crystal and working towards Marissia. They started relaxing into comfortable conversation, the uneasiness of meeting someone some one new fading as they grew to know each other. They had even started listening to the CDs that the girls had brought along when the door to the compartment opened.Artemis and the others, excluding Annette, who had gotten up to go to the bathrood, looked up, and Artemis saw Harry go for his wand.
Standing in the doorway were three boys, which closely resembled a pair of Gorrilas and a white rat.
"So," the ratty boy sneered "you're hanging out with even more mudbloods now, are you Potter? With the Dark Lord back, are you sure that's wise? Not that I care, really. I'd be first in line to see you put in your place."
"Get out of here, Malfoy. You wouldn't want to be a ferret again, would you?" said Harry cooly.
Just then, Annette came back from the bathroom and Malfoy's eyes widened.
"What could I say?" thought Artemis. "she is Mina's daughter. The people from Venus where renowned for their beauty."
Annette looked at the boy called Malfoy and his pet gorrilas. "Could you please leave my friends alone?"
Suddenly, Malfoy was all charm. "Of course, madam." With that, he swept out of the room. Ron had stuffed his fist into his mouth to muffle his laughter.
For the next hour, they tourtured Malfoy, while Hannah and Devonny scribbled on a notepad. Then they interrupted the enthusiastic conversation.
"Hey, Guys! Devon and I have come up with this really funny list on Voldemort." exclaimed Hannah.
"Alright then. Lets hear it." Ginny and Ron looked eager to hear it. Hannah straightened the papers, then read out:

The others roared with laughter. Ginny and Artemis even got tears in their eyes. They all especially found number 72 : offer to sacrifice Draco Malfoy to the cause. Finally, they settled into their own groups and carried on seprate conversations.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ **~*~ Harry drifted into his own little world. He looked at Artemis. The brunette was laughing at something that Annette had just said. Somehow, he couldn't help but feel that he had seen her before. He looked at Hope. She also looked familiar. As a matter of fact, they all did, but Artemis and Hope stood out more. He leaned over to Ron, Hermione and Ginny.
"Do they look a little familiar to you?" hea asked. "Yeah. I think that we've met them before. I just can't think of when.." answered Ron.
"They almost look like those Warriors that fought the death eaters over the summer in Diagon Ally." Ginny intergected. Hermione looked doubtful. "Do they look like they have powers beyond a normal wizard's? No. And they act nothing like them. The chances are astronomically low." She looked at her watch, and spoke to everyone in the compartment. "I think that it's time to change into our school robes. We'll be there in about 20 minutes."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*
I'm sorry that this chapter isn't very long. Spring Break is a week away, and I'm really looking forward to it. The next chapter is going to be *hopefully* a little longer. So far, I'm planning on it being the same as in book 5: "the sorting hat's new song." I'm probably going to change it slightly here and there. By the way, remember when I said that members of the house of phoenixflame got along with the slytherins? Did I say WHEN? *EVIL LAUGH*
And, in honor of one of my readers, "pussyboots", here are some phrases from the of the story that I am going to include. I might change at one point or another and include some in a sequel, if I decide to write one...
"I'm not the one" "I think that it's time to tell him about it, Professor Dumbledore." "The test! It's positive!"
Just a quick note here, nobody ever gets pregnant in ANY of my stories.
Chapter 3: First impressions.
After the incident at Diagon Ally, the weeks passed quickly. Serenia taught History of Magic which every one enjoyed thoroughly, particularly when she started role playing.
Ami was, of course, teaching Transfiguration. Best part: all of it. Was it hard? Many of the girls would have replied with a sarcastic "Is the sky blue?"
Rei and Trista teamed up and taught Divination. Because of this, everyone became extraordinarily experienced with fire-reading.
Lita taught DADA. As indicated from their earlier performances, Annette and Artemis soared at the head of the class with flying colors.
Mina taught charms. To put it in simple terms, her students became so good so fast that they soon became bored and sent her flying around the classroom, or tap dancing across the ceiling.
Michelle taught CoMC. Her course included creatures ranging from flobberworms to blast ended skrewts and Chimeras. Yes, Chimeras. You don't want to know.
And last but not least, Potions. Amara did surprisingly well, considering that they had 4 weeks to cover 4 years worth of potion making.
Finally, September first arrived.
Everyone was packed and ready to go by 10:30, and had plenty of gear that a normal teenage girl would have with her, including diskmans, CDs of all kinds, headphones, cellphones, and laptops. Only one catch: they ran better with extream magic around.
To avoid suspicion and other strange looks, they decided to travle by portkey this time round. It took a while to choose one, but they eventually decieded on a soccor ball. Maby they could play a few rounds at school...
They arrived at the platform, so they didn't have to bother with the protal.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ **~*~ Harry drifted into his own little world. He looked at Artemis. The brunette was laughing at something that Annette had just said. Somehow, he couldn't help but feel that he had seen her before. He looked at Hope. She also looked familiar. As a matter of fact, they all did, but Artemis and Hope stood out more. He leaned over to Ron, Hermione and Ginny.
"Do they look a little familiar to you?" hea asked. "Yeah. I think that we've met them before. I just can't think of when.." answered Ron.
"They almost look like those Warriors that fought the death eaters over the summer in Diagon Ally." Ginny intergected. Hermione looked doubtful. "Do they look like they have powers beyond a normal wizard's? No. And they act nothing like them. The chances are astronomically low."

I'm sorry that this chapter isn't very long. Spring Break is a week away, and I'm really looking forward to it. The next chapter is going to be *hopefully* a little longer. So far, I'm planning on it being the same as in book 5: "the sorting hat's new song." I'm probably going to change it slightly here and there. By the way, remember when I said that members of the house of phoenixflame got along with the slytherins? Did I say WHEN? *EVIL LAUGH*
And, in honor of one of my readers, "pussyboots", here are some phrases from the of the story that I am going to include. I might change at one point or another and include some in a sequel, if I decide to write one...
"I'm not the one" "I think that it's time to tell him about it, Professor Dumbledore." "The test! It's positive!"
Just a quick note here, nobody ever gets pregnant in ANY of my stories.
