The four stepped off the train into the brisk night air.
" Firs' years! Firs' years over hear!" Boomed across the platform.
Nicole looked up to see a giant man standing in the middle of the platform, his face was almost
completely hidden by a long, shaggy main and a wild tangled beard. His eyes were glinting black
and he wore a huge leather coat.
" I hate these robes...there itchy" Vern started to wine.
" who's that?" Nicole pointed to the man.
" I know...gray...oh him..that's Hagrid...he's half giant..expelled from Hogworts years ago for
harboring giant spiders" Chelsea finished.
" how did you know?" Segato said as the four looked for McGonagall.
" he helps the family sometimes during the summer.."
" ok..no more chatting...we've got to find who ever were looking for" Nicole said.
The four stud at the edge of the crowds looking around.
Segato leaned over "she's over there..."
Nicole looked over at a dark area on the far end of the platform, there was a small gleam.
" you sure?..." she whispered out the side of her mouth.
Segato remained silent.
Nicole quietly snapped her fingers to alert the others and walked over to the dimly lit area.
A tall woman stud in front of them, she had long black hair and emerald green robes.
" McGonagall I presume?" Nicole asked.
The woman looked through her thin glass's down at the four with a glare in her eye.
" of corse.." she snapped.
" now I wont you four over in the great hall in ten minutes..take the road where all the other
students..you have already been chosen into houses... Vern you are in Slytherin..Chelsea you
are in Ravenclaw,..Nicole you are in Hufflepuff..and Segato will be in Griffindor...you
will have to arrive before the students and find your seats...I will take you to Dumbledore
to speak with him later on"
"And how are we going to get there within ten minutes?" Vern said looking around.
McGonagall rased one thin eye brow and looked at him " how else run...and you have seven...
Sense you wasted time.."
The three others looked at him.
"Come on we'd better get moving..." Chelsea said.
They waved good bye to McGonagall and took off running.
Mcgonagall backed into the shadows and a loud crack emitted as she disappeared.
" how in the hell are we supposed to get there before everyone else with all these stupid
carriages in the way?" Vern said as they reached the roads.
" what's with the thestrals?... there extinct...except for Europe..there's a pack there" Nicole
said watching the winged horses pulled the carriages along the road.
" wha...I don't see any?" Chelsea said looking around.
" she hasn't seen death.."Vern said looking for an alternate rout from them to take.
" I've got an idea.." Segato said jumping on a passing car.
Nicole smiled and jumped on the next one.
Vern and Chelsea followed.
The threstrals began to speed up making the carriages rattle and shake.
" oh crap why are they speeding up?" Nicole said as she steaded her self.
" that" Segato said pointing to the lake they were now going to cross.
" ...crap" Vern said face paling.
" were going to have to jump!"Cheslea yelled.
The horses ran to the edge and jumped. Spreading there massive wings they glided across the
water.
" to late we have to move!" Nicole said jumping to the next moving car.
The three followed and jumped from car to car. They all landed on the first one.
"What now we have to beat the cars" Chelsea said looking around.
" were gonna jump.." Nicole said looking to the edge of the lake.
" what!" the three said together.
Nicole jumped two cars back and ran gaining speed as she jumped the cars. At vary edge of
the first cart she lunged foreword.
With a wave of relief she landed in the soft grass.
...I did it...
The three looked back in shock.
" my turn!" Chelsea yelled two cars behind the boys.
Chelsea launched across the lake. Landing next to Nicole. The boys quickly followed.
" come on we'd better get going!" Segato said running through the double doors.
They ran past McGonagall who stopped a watch she had in her left hand.
" one minute to spare..not bad...get hear faster next time..."
Nicole looked back " yes mam!"
The four skidded around the hall stopping a the double doors.
They were in front of a massive room. The night sky was illuminated above there head, with
thousands of candles above, along with two fire places in each side. At the end of the room stud
a long table lined with teachers and at the head sat Dumbledore. The four walked up to the
teachers and bowed " good evening" Dumbledore said rising.
" head master Dumbledore" Nicole said rising from her bow.
...Nicole...we've got visitors...
...where?...
...in the forest...
...who is it?...
...more like what...
...just track it...well be there...
" Dumbledore is there any way into this hall other then the doors?" Nicole said looking around.
Dumbledore simply gleamed at them " no besides the owl delivery entrance...no"
They looked up to see a small bird entrance high above the teachers table.
" why what's up?" Chelsea whispered out the side of her mouth.
" please pardon us..we need to step out" Nicole said bowing.
She turned heal and walked out of the great hall.
The three hastily bowed and followed.
"What was that about! Were not even one day on the job and we already insulted them by
walking out on them!" Vern yelled as they left the double doors.
" because Scar found something sneaking in" Nicole said as they walked out the towering
entrance halls.
"Something?.." Segato asked as they stepped out into the night air.
...its attacking the unicorns...in the middle of the forest...
Students started arriving as they stepped out.
" its in the middle of the forest..attacking unicorns.." Nicole said rushing through the crowds.
The four rushed into the dark forest.
Vern jumped onto a branch and ran ahead, jumping from branch to branch.
" come on there up ahead" Nicole yelled running faster.
The three skidded to a halt as a dead unicorn lay in front of them.
" where did the creature go.." Chelsea said looking at the ground.
A massive gray blur went past them.
It was Vern and a creature.
...it's the same one from the river...
Vern lay on the ground under the massive catlike creature.
It turned its head, silver slime dripping from its mouth.
" it drank unicorn blood!" Chelsea said stepping back words.
" little help hear" Vern said as he tried to lift the creature up.
" Al' destra!" Chelsea yelled.
The creature didn't move, nor explode.
" magic attacks wont work we have to use hands on fighting" Nicole said as she through
two stars out of her robes.
Chelsea smirked " those little stars could barley cut anything"
She pulled out what appeared to be a small roundly carved stick. Chelsea held out the stick
and all at once it grew long and owned a long silver blade at the top.
" wow haven't seen the scythe in a long time"
" ya I know...been putting some spells on it..make it easy to carry .."
" um guys..HELP!" Vern said wrestling with the creature.
" hold still" Chelsea said grasping the scythe and holding it out long way.
She began to swing it around.
" What the HELL ARE YOU DOING!"
"SHUT UP and hold STILL!"
Chelsea let go of the scythe, witch now resembled a silver boomerang.
The spinning object hit the creature cutting its head off
The silver object spun up into the night sky.
Vern stud and through the lifeless body off of him.
" could of done with out the blood" he said looking at his stained clothes.
" oh what do you care...you hated them anyway" Segato said as he bent down at the
creatures head.
" be careful..it could still be alive" Chelsea said getting the blood off of Vern's robes.
" doesn't look like it...come on we'd better get back" Nicole said turning.
The four began to walk through the forest.
...don't turn your back to it!...
" wha-" Nicole turned in time to see a brown creature scream past them to the ground.
" It's still alive!" Chelsea screamed.
The creature's eyes were open and its once lifeless body was up and searching for its head.
It's head lit out a growl and looked over at its body.
Scar growled and stepped between its head and body.
Scar lunged foreword at the body trying to through it to the ground, but the body simply picked
Scar up and through him to the tree.
" its stronger when its separated from its body" Nicole yelled pulling out four long strands of
hair.
...crap this is the last of them...
The creature walked over to its now screaming head and put it back onto its body.
Nicole and Chelsea cringed at the sound of gushing as the head attached.
" ...that is so nasty." Chelsea said.
" Chelsea what do you have left?" Nicole asked.
" nothing right now.."
" then stand back." Vern yelled pulling up his robes revealing a sword attached to the side of his
leg.
Segato did the same and attacked the creature.
Vern charged first, but the creature merle swung its massive claw and through aside against a
tree.
Segato stud in a attack position with his sword extended out in front of him.
The creature looked over at him and grinned showing its pointed teeth.
It lounged off the ground and swung its claw knocking the sword from his hand.
" Segato!" Nicole yelled.
The creature lifted him up by his robes.
Segato smiled and through his hands into the air. He slipped out of the robes and dropped to
the ground.
Segato looked over at Nicole who through three long silver strands of hair at the creature
hitting it in the chest throwing it back words, but not injuring it.
The creature growled and closed its fist shredding Segato's robes.
Segato bent low dodging the hairs and saw his sword on the ground. He found as he saw the
creature standing up and lunged for his sword.
The creature looked over and jumped up in the air to attack Segato when a sword lunged through
its shoulder.
The creature fell to the ground and looked behind itself to see Vern leaning against the tree
grinning.
It turned its head in time to see Segato through his fist into its face knocking it back words.
Its shoulder stopped bleeding as its skin wrapped around the sword healing its self.
Chelsea ran over to Vern checking his injures when a swishing sound came from the sky.
" Nicole- Segato!"
Segato looked into the sky and through his sword at the ground pinning the creature to the
ground by its hand.
Chelsea's weapon came baring down at the ground where the pinned creature sat.
It look back at the scythe desperately trying to pull its hand out from the sword.
The swinging scythe came bearing down a pawn the creature cutting its back open.
Chelsea skidded in front of Nicole holding her hand out catching a large boomerang blade.
...hopefully this will work before it heals...
Nicole thought as she blew on the last strand of hair.
The stand straitened and became a thin, long silver rod.
Nicole jumped into the air and through the hair at the open wound.
It struck the creature in the back making the muscles and blood smoke. The creature screamed in
agony and fell into the smoke that surrounded it. There was a sound as both the swords fell to
the ground.
The smoke cleared.
" it's a boy!" Chelsea yelled as the smoke cleared revealing a small boy laying where the horrid
creature used to lay.
"...I don't get it..is it some form of Alchemy or transfiguration?" Segato asked
" ...I don't know.." Nicole said looking at the boy on the ground.
"...don't care if he's this powerful at this age, think of how he'll be once he reaches our
age" Vern said.
" I cant believe is just a boy...he's human" Nicole said in aw.
The groggily woke and looked at them fear in his eyes. He let out a small breath and ran deeper
into the forest.
" weight!" Chelsea yelled.
Vern put his hand on her shoulder "no...we have to let him go"
" come on..we'd better get going.." Segato said picking up his sword.
" dude that so isn't cool.." Vern whined " I transform and all I get is a change of hair and you
get freaking muscles"
Segato picked up his shredded robes " umm sorry"
Chelsea giggled and grabbed her boomerang.
" how did that thing turn into a boomerang?..it was a scythe?" Nicole said as she picked her
stars from a tree they landed in.
" a spell when it starts spinning it turns into a boomerang" Chelsea said.
She ran her finger along the handle made in the boomerang. It gleamed and turned back into
the tall scythe.
" what spell did you use?" Nicole asked on the way back to the castle.
"Oh just a enchantment the le' fror..."
...thanks for helping us back there...
...you four have a lot to learn...those creatures can only die if a dragon weapon fattily
attacks them...
...but it didn't kill him this time?...
...you had a hair made from griffin tail..but soaked with a dragon scale...it had half the power..
..I see..why don't you go rest in owlery...
The griffin behind them transformed and flew to the owlery.
Nicole realized Chelsea was done talking and now glaring at her.
" sorry gess...I'm just tired" Nicole grinned.
Chelsea sighed and rolled her eyes.
The four arrived at the castle to find the doble doors were closed.
" where now?" Vern said looking around.
" the owl entrance" Nicole said pointing to entrance on the side of the castle.
" think we can jump it?" Chelsea said looking up.
" you jumped four freaking stories...this shouldn't be a challenge."
" but there gonna notice us..." Vern said looking up at the entrance " when we kinda jump on
there heads from out of nowhere"
" no don't worry there's beams on the ceiling we can see them from there..plus the night sky
spell will hide us.." Segato finished, he jumped up to the entrance.
He landed on the wall and looked down.
" my turn" Nicole jumped up onto the wall to look down and see the hall buzzing with
excitement. The students were seated on long tables and chatting amongst themselfs.
Dumbledore had apparently given a speech.
Chelsea jumped up next and then Vern.
" well I think we can finally relax" Chelsea said sitting down.
" I know..I just wish I had my trunk...I wont out of these nasty clothes." Nicole said walking
along the beams.
" don't fall" Segato said sitting on one of the farther beams.
" hey we can..that spell I read about.." Chelsea said as Nicole sat next to her " its kind of like
accio, but more advanced...Acceseo change of clothes" Chelsea waved her hand.
A flash of gold started at Chelsea and Nicole's feet and moved up, changing her robes
to jeans. By the time the light faded they were both wearing jeans and a shirt.
" I like this spell." Nicole said standing.
Nicole walked over to Segato and sat down.
" what's wrong?"
Segato stared at the long narrow table in the far corner.
"Its Stacy?...your still thinking about it"Nicole said looking at him.
Segato sighed " ya...I cant believe I did that.."
" I understand Segato...but you don't keep having to beat your self over it...its been forgiven"
Segato looked over and weakly smiled "thanks"
He wrapped his arm around her waist pulling her closer. Nicole smiled and leaned into him.
Chelsea went and sat next to Vern " you ok?"
Vern looked over at her " ya fine...gonna be sore in the morning though."
Chelsea giggled and looked over at Nicole and Segato.
..I don't get them...they seem to forgive so easily...and they tell each other anything...share
there emotions and feelings...Vern doesn't tell me anything...
" what's wrong?" Vern asked her.
Chelsea awoke from her gaze " nothing..."
..he hasn't ever kissed me...I've always kissed him... dose he even trust me?...
Nicole sat watching the students " I don't think I can't attack one of those creatures again...
know that I know that there human"
Segato looked down " I know...but its our job...we have to protect the castle.."
