Ch 3: The train ride and sorting

NOTE: this fic was written BEFORE HBP! BUT posted AFTER HBP! So, things may not add up to the HBP standards!

Hermione Granger sat the whole night up with Zach and Dora crying. (Hermione was crying, not Zach and Dora!)

"Hermione, please, it's time to move on, it's been five months since you got that letter from Ron! Your babies are due next month! Please, can't you just forget about it? I know I probably sound rude, but sweetie, it's been FIVE MONTHS!"

During the five months, Hermione, Zach, and Dora basically knew everything about each other. I mean, what other stuff did they have to do but talk?

For example:

Hermione found out a lot of things about her friends. For one, Zacharelli was Zach's mum's maiden name. So, since she lived with her, she took her last name… her parents got a divorce when Zach was almost one. Her mother didn't want her live with her father, so she filed for custody, which she got. But then that file moved onto her father's file after Zach moved in with him.

Both of her parent's are pureblood. Zach has one little sister. Her name is Liliane. She is ten months younger than Zach. But she lives in France with her mother. Lili is also a witch that attends Beauxbatons.

Only Zach's mum calls her Bridgett. She has never called her Zach before. ('If I wanted to name you with a guy's name, I would have done so') but her sister calls her Zach. (Just not in her mother's presence.) Her and her sister are VERY close, but haven't communicated in a while; Zach thinks her mother is not allowing her to…

Dora has six kids in her family, including her. (Not her immediate family) Her parent's are still together. She is the only witch in her (immediate) family. But… both Dora's grandparents were both witches and wizards. All of Dora's cousins are magical, but they live in the United States. (Confusing? Ok…Dora's mum was a squib. Dora's dad was a squib. Dora's grandparents were magical, and so are her cousin's… get it now?)

But, any who…

By now the three of them were eight months pregnant.

Hermione could just remember the day the doctors there told her that she was having twins! She was so excited! She was still upset about the fact that she was raped, but she was having children! Two of them! It was a boy and a girl. She was going to name them Kaila and Trevin.

Zach was having another girl; her name was going to be Kaitlyn.

Dora's son's name was going to be Parker.

Finally, it was 9 months! Hermione had her kids February 17th. And Dora had her son February 28th. Zach had Kaity March 2nd. (A/N: I just didn't know what to put in between the fifth month and the ninth! So I just skipped it!)

"Do you realize, that we are going to go, well… I'm going back to Hogwarts, and you guys are going to Hogwarts, in only six months?"

"Hermione, I know!"

"I'm so excited!"

"You have to tell us all about it!"

"Well, for one thing, we'll be in our seventh year!"

"That's going to be so exciting!"

"So, Mia, you have to tell me…are there any HOTT guys there?"

"Oh Dora! Well, none for my liking, but I'm pretty sure you'll pick up some guy!" she said with a sly grin. Then, "Uh Kaila!"

"What?" asked Zach.

"She threw up all over my new sweater!"

"That's alright! Right KiKi? Aww! That's okay! Your mummy can buy a new sweater!" said a cooing Dora.

Hermione started to chuckle.

"Yes Hermione?" asked Dora.

"Aww that's okay, you can buy some new pants!" she said mimicking Dora's baby voice she used when she was cooing at Kaila.

"Huh? What are you talking about? These are new pants!"

"Well, Parker just pissed all over your new pants, kind of sexy!" she said laughing her ass off now, with Zach joining her.

"Ha Ha!" she laughed sarcastically. "Parker! Why do guys always piss on you instead of in the diaper! And when the diaper is off! It's like they wait for the thing to come off!"

"Well, I guess I might have to go thru that!" said Hermione looking at Trevin.

"Yup! And I'm going to make fun of you then!" laughed Dora.

"Yea, yea!"

"So, Mia, when we go to this Hogwarts place, wait! Exactly how are we getting there?"

"By train."

"So, wouldn't the muggles see the wizards all over the place? Do they know where or what Hogwarts is?"

"No." Hermione had to explain everything to them like the trick stair, Peeves, the house ghosts, and the houses themselves. (Etc. Etc.)

-About two hours later-

"OH! That makes sense!" Dora cried.

"Yup!"

So, how many people can fit in a compartment?"

"About six to eight, but we can squeeze in!"

"Whom do you normally sit with?"

"Well, my best friends Ron and Harry. Sometimes Neville, Ginny, Seamus, or

Dean. Well, since you guys are my best friends too, you guys are added into the group!"

"So, is Seamus, Neville, or Dean cute?"

"Geez, Dora! Is that all you talk about?" she said laughing.

"Basically!"

"Seamus and Dean are alright, Neville, well, he's okay, but not the attractive type though."

"O I C!" (Oh, I see… for all da slo ppl!)

"Yea…"

SIX MONTHS LATER! –

"OMG! I CAN'T believe we're on the way to Hogwarts right now!"

"Dora, don't pee in your pants!"

"Do you think the kids are okay at the nursery?"

"Of course!"

Headmaster Dumbledore had a chat with Hermione and the others. He advised them to come on the train just by themselves, and to leave the children at the day care center. Then when they were settled in, they can then bring the children to Hogwarts, and Dumbledore could hire a house elf to care for them. Everyone agreed. Well, first Hermione had to explain what a house elf was, and she had to make sure that they were getting well paid. Hermione asked Dumbledore when settling in was.

"When Miss Zacharelli and Miss Welts are used to Hogwarts." He had answered

"When they come to Hogwarts, they will be well cared for! Okay, follow my lead!" Hermione said leaning casually on the barrier of 9 and ¾.

When they got through the barrier Zach and Dora gasped.

"Oh! It's wonderful!"

"Mia! WHO is that HOTTIE?"

"Who?"

"That guy that's… OMG! He's looking over here!"

"Dora! Which one? There are tons of guys here if you haven't noticed!"

Dora peaked her eyes above Hermione's shoulder.

"Good, he's not looking!"

"Why are you so shy? I thought you wanted to meet guys, not cower away from them!" Hermione said.

"Oh, alright! That guy that is under the sign saying 'Hogwarts Express'."

"The guy with the black hair? I know!" said Zach.

"No, Blondie!"

"I'm no blonde! Don't call me 'Blondie'!" Zach said.

"Not you stupid! That blond boy over there!"

"OH!" said Zach laughing

"Okay, blondie is Draco Malfoy. Blackie is Blaise Zabini." Hermione said, slightly giggling at her own joke. (For da slo ppl: The joke was she said blondie and blackie… now that I had to explain it… it ain't funny no more! Great! Thanks to all u slo ppl!)

"Oh! I'm so sorry Mia! I really didn't know!"

"That's okay Zach, how would you know that was him?"

"So, this Malfoy guy, is he single?"

"I don't know, but if I were you I wouldn't … first of all, he was the guy that made my life a living hell, and secondly, he never has a girlfriend, just F'sWB."

"F'sWB?"

"Friends with benefits."

"Oh." She said sadly.

"Don't feel bad. Actually, you should give him that feeling! Literally! That kid has no feeling! He doesn't express any emotion, or anything!" Why am I standing here talking about Draco Malfoy? "Ready to go on the train?"

"Sure."

The girls climbed onto the back of the train, and entered the first compartment they came to.

"Funny…" said Hermione.

"What's funny?"

"There's almost never a time where there was an actual compartment that was free!"

"Why's that?"

"Well, there are a lot of students, and most of the younger kids get on right away when they get here, so they actually have a compartment. But when the upperclassmen get on, there are hardly any empty compartments left!"

The girls settled inside. They unpacked a deck of cards Dora had with her. Hermione learned some games from her. While they were playing, the compartment door slid open.

"What do we have here?" asked a voice behind the girls.

The girls turned around.

"Do you mind? We're trying to play a game!"

"Oh, feisty! Did you hear that Goyle?"

Goyle only sniggered. (Cause he didn't know what else to do…)

"Listen, ladies, it's been a pleasure chatting, but you need to leave, this is our compartment! Literally" Draco said.

"Malfoy, we were here first! Bug off!" Hermione said.

"Do I know you?" he asked, wondering how she knew his name, he was pretty sure they were new.

Hermione turned around once again. When she did, she saw his eyes go wide.

"Granger?"

"WOW! You can talk! AND you know who I am! Can you leave now? We are playing a card game!"

"This is our compartment! You leave!" said Blaise.

"Wow, how very mature!" Zach said.

"Fine, if you aren't going to leave, we'll stay!"

"Fine, just do us a favor and don't bother us!"

-Not even two seconds later-

"Hey, mudblood, where were you last year? I didn't have anyone to bother!"

"Hey, Malfoy! I don't really give a shit! For your info, I was on a break!"

"So, who are you?" Draco asked ignoring Hermione's last comment.

Hermione silenced them with a quick glance.

"So, you now under mud blood's order?"

"Stuff it!"

Dora and Zach taught Hermione many things. Card games included. They also taught her another 'language'. It's not literally another language, per say. It's called gibberish. They use it a lot in the States. They didn't want the guys to hear their conversations, so they used this 'language'

"Youtagoo knowtagoo, theytagay aretagare kidagind uhtagove cutagute! Butagut theytagay aretagare litagita-tagal fatagagots!" Dora said laughing. (You know, they are kind of cute, but they are little faggots! PLEASE DON'T GET UPSET 'CUZ I USED THE WORD FAGGOT… IT'S NOT MEANT TO BE USED AS IN 'GAY' BUT AS IN THEY ARE RETARDS… KINDA…)

Blaise, Draco, Goyle and Crabbe looked at each other.

"Retageelatagee? Itagai thitagink sotago todago!" said Crabbe. (Really? I think so to!)

Everybody turned to look at him, open mouthed.

"Crabbe, what the hell was that?" Draco asked.

"My little sister went to America last year… she learnt that and another stupid lingo called pig Latin and would not shut up after she learnt them! So, I had no choice! I learned it!"

"There you a-" Harry said breaking the awkward silence. "Malfoy, what are you doing here? Get OUT!"

"Potter, don't attempt to tell me, your superior, what to do!" Draco said. "Besides, this is our compartment!"

"How is this your compartment?"

"Do you not see the Malfoy crest?" he asked pointing to a crest that had an 'M' on it with a dragon entwined around it, as if protecting the letter.

"Zach, Dora, let's go!" Hermione said dragging them, and their stuff out with them. "That's why that was a free compartment!" she said to nobody in particular. "Nobody ever even attempts to sit there…

"You do have a compartment we can go to right?" Hermione asked.

"Yea." Answered Harry. Ron was just gawking at Zach. God Ron! Do you have to stare at that girl like that! Harry thought. I mean she is pretty, whoo! But still! Harry said to himself

"Ron, Harry, Zach, Dora." Mia introduced.

They went into Ron and Harry's compartment.

"Hermione, they weren't bothering you were they?" Harry asked.

"Uh, no." Hermione answered.

"So, Hermione, are you going to tell us where you were all last year?"

"You will know in good time!" (Hermione never wrote them back… or never answered any more of their letters…)

Ron and Harry knew better than to ask further questions.

They finally got to Hogwarts. By then everybody had changed into his or her robes. (Harry and Ron were kicked out while the girls changed.)

"Hermione, did you not tell Harry and Ron about Kaila and Trevin?" Dora asked

"No. I'm afraid that they are going to get expelled. I know they are going to do something!"

"You know you are going to have to eventually tell them though!"

"I know, and I dread that day!"

"Okay, your turn!" Dora said to the guys after they had changed.

"I have to go to the Head compartment, okay? I'll see you guys at the horses! Save me a seat! Don't let Dora and Zach get lost!" Hermione said.

"I totally forgot Hermione got head! I'm surprised Dumbledore let her be head because she missed school last year!" Harry said.

"All of the teachers sent her homework over the year, so she never missed a thing!" Dora said.

"Professor McGonagall, sorry I'm late!" Hermione said, and gasped at who was head boy.

"Zabini!"

"Granger." He said nodding his head in a way of saying 'hi to you too'

"Professor, you can't be serious! Zabini isn't really head boy is he?" she asked after the meeting where McGonagall told them their duties.

"Miss Granger, he is."

"But…but…"

"Is there a problem?" she asked, then without an answer she said, "Even if there was, I can't change a thing!" she answered simply said.

(A/N: I don't know why McGonagall would be on the train… it just helps the plot!)

Hermione met everyone at the 'horseless' carriages.

"Guess whose head boy!"

"Who?" they asked in unison.

"Blaise Zabini!"

While the girls gasped, the guys wondered why it wasn't Malfoy.

"I was pretty sure it would have been Malfoy!" Harry said.

"Why Potter, is that a complement?"

"No Malfoy, it wasn't!"

"Then, was that an insult?" he countered.

"If that's what you want to take it as, sure!"

"Hey! Knock it off over there!" asked Hagrid as the Slytherins scattered, and Malfoy gave him a dirty look.

"Thanks Hagrid!" Harry said.

"No problem! Firs' years! Firs' year!"

The group got into the carriages and got off at the main entrance.

They watched the first years get sorted, and then waited for Dumbledore to announce Dora and Zach's presence, and their sorting.

"Welcome back to a new year at Hogwarts! We have two new students for the year. Eudora Welts and Bridgett Zacharelli, please come up to the hat!"

"Eudora Welts. Ravenclaw!"

"Bridgett Zacharelli. Slytherin!"

Hermione, Dora, Harry, Ron, and even Zach herself had her mouth wide open.

I can't believe Zach got into Slytherin! She's not one of 'them' she's NOT EVIL! Harry thought.

"Good luck with Malfoy!" Harry said

"If he bothers you, just tell us!" said Ron blushing

"Thanks" said Zach

"Hey, I better go to the Head Dorm!" Hermione said

"Okay, if he bothers you, tell me!" Zach said, whoa, talk about déjà vu! "I'll beat his ass up, Dora will help"

"I doubt Zabini would do anything to Hermione, it's Malfoy you have to worry about." Harry said

Hermione cut Zach off; Hermione knew Zach would say something so she interrupted to say:

"No matter what, I'll tell you if something happens, ok?" Hermione slipped Dora and Zach something in their hands before they parted.

"K, bye!"

"See you at breakfast!"

A/N:

So, what was that Hermione slipped into their hands? Hmmmm... You'll more likely find out next chapter!
