About a half hour later we all have seats on the train. The guys and Manda are in one room and Sami, Liv, and I in the one next door.

I told Liv and Sami about what Dumbledore talked to me about. "So we can't call you Kashew anymore?" Sami asked. I get nick names for everything I am in; for my dance team I am known as Shoemacker and in cheerleading I am just Shoe, both a spin on my last name…well before I knew I had a different last name. Then there is Kandy, I got that from the way I acted when I got a sugar buzz.

Before I could respond an enormous toad came into our compartment. Sami and Liv started screaming. I jumped on the seat to find something to put the little guy in. As I pulled on a small box that I found, something starts to fall on my head. Someone behind me holds the stuff from falling and helps me down. I start to say thanks but as I turn to see who had helped me I could not say anything but, "Hey, it's you. Your the guy from the book store."

"Yes I am. Nice to see you again." he replied.

As my senses came back to me I realized he was not alone. Two other guys had come into help Liv and Sami's cries. The other guys took the box from my and grabbed the toad. After the little thing was out of the room we all introduced each other. "This is Alivia or Liv, this is Samantha or Sami, and I am Katheles or Kati." I said

"This is Jessie, Mic, and I am Alex." My mystery man was solved. His name? Alex.

The guys hung around talking about their past years at Hogwarts. They are all in Gryfindor and in our year. We introduced them to everyone else in the other room. Liv had to ask, it was eating her alive. "Is Harry Potter real?" She blurted out.

Mic looked at her funny like. "Yes, he's real. He's in sixth year. He's an okay guy. A lot of strange things happen around him though."

As Liv and Sami got the 411 on Harry, Alex and I played 20 questions. I started off by asking his full name.

"It's Alexander Lee Nazorenee. Good question, the same for you." He said.

"Okay then, Katheles JoLyne Seleven."

"No way! I know a guy with that last name. His first name is ….."

"John, Johnothes, yes I know. Don't tell him quite yet though, please? He is my brother." I interrupted his shocked reply's only to be met with confusion.

"Wait, he never said he had a sister. All he said was when his parents died at you-know-who's hands he came to live and learn and Hogwarts. He lived in the hospital wing with Madame until he became of age. Bloody Hell, that does not make sense."

"I only just found out my-self. I was adopted in the USA to be protected. We are twins, John and me." I paused for a moment, letting Alex take this all in. "What does John look like? Is he nice?"

"Blimy, I can see in now. You both have the same hair type and your eyes…" as Alex looked into my eyes he got pink in the ears and turned away. "Yeah he' nice, a great friend."

Sensing an uncomfortable environment I said, " Hey what happened to our game? So what are your hobbies?"
