Hey I'm back and I'm raring to go. So enough with the chit chat on with the story!
Oh stupid my, I forgot this in the last chapter; I don't own Harry Potter or any of that, only the plot and maybe a few characters are mine.

Try Me

Chapter 2

The train station on September the first was packed with parents and kids saying their good byes. Harry sat in a compartment already just watching it all, he sighed and pulled out his Transfigurations textbook. They train had just started to move when the door slid open. Harry looked up to see a tall red headed boy, Ron.

Ron looked around a little, "Got room for another person in here, everywhere else is full of idiots."

Harry grinned liking the kid already, "yeah come on in."

"I'm Ron, Ron Weasley" Ron sat down opposite Harry.

"I'm Harry Potter…" Harry grimaced at his name.

"Wicked" Ron smirked. "Always wanted to meet you."

"You know, I need a new name mines to well known…" Harry mumbles.

"Mines to plain." Ron agreed.

"Alright I hear by rename you Honoo" Harry smirks.

"What the hell does that mean?" Ron folded his arms across his chest.

"It's Japanese for Flame… it would be perfect, just color your hair to look a little more like flames when we get to school and you're all set" Harry laughs.

"Alright, so what's the Japanese word for storm cause that's you, you've got a temper as deadly as a bolt of lighting, are as calming as the rain, yet you make yourself heard like thunder. So what is it?" Ron grins darkly.

Harry smirks darkly, "I think this is the start of a beautiful friendship, by the way you can call me Arashi because I'm a storm of a person."

Honoo and Arashi both laughed at this. Arashi went back to reading his transfigurations book, while Honoo pulled out his potions book and started to read. They both looked up when the door opened and a girl walked in.

She turns and looks at them. "Got any more room? I kind of got shoved out of my compartment, some idiot named Malfoy, he needs a lesson in humility if I do say so myself."

"Always room for one more, but if you wanna stay you need a new name seeing as we picked new names for each other. "Harry smirks.

"That's fine by me, my name is to long any way" Hermione laughs.

"Alright we name you Toushi, for that fighting spirit you have." Harry smiles a little watching her as she nods and sits down, pulling out her charms book. "We need a name, seeing as we are kind of a gang, we need a name…"

"That could be useful…" Toushi thinks.

Honoo smiles, "Very clever…"

"But what do we call ourselves?" Toushi looks at the two boys.

Arashi thinks before a wide grin spread across his face, "Yabou Tankyuu, or Ambitions Quest"

Honoo shakes his head, "no to hard to remember."

"Janen, means vicious minds, seeing as the three of us can't stop reading something with our minds is perfect," Toushi smirks. "You're not the only one who knows Japanese Arashi."

"So I've noticed…" Arashi mutters dryly. "But it does work… I like it."

"So it's agreed, we are the Janen" Honoo smiles a little. "I guess we had better change into our robes."

Arashi and Honoo grabbed their robes and went to go change in the bathrooms. Toushi changed in the compartment. By the time the boys came back to the compartment the train had stopped. They climbed off the train and heard a giant man calling for the first years; they along with all the other first years went with him.

They ended up having to go across the lake in boats. Then they were lead up into the castle to a very stern looking teacher, she gave them a brief explanation then told them to wait.

A blond boy with a pointed face walked up to them. "So Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts."

Arashi turned to Honoo, "Do you hear something Honoo?"

Honoo smirked, "Why no I don't… what about you Toushi?"

Toushi snickered, "Nadda."

Arashi smiled to them, "What ever that noise is it had better stop calling me that name…"

"Then what are we supposed to call you? Your great excellence?" Malfoy snapped.

"Get over it, the names Arashi, and these are my friends Honoo and Toushi. You little Ryuu need to learn not to take thing from others. You forced Toushi out of her compartment on the train, you need some manners." Arashi smirked the entire time.

Draco Malfoy looked at all three of them. "If I didn't know any better I'd say you were headed for Slytherin."

"Maybe we are maybe we aren't, I personally am not as foolish as most Gryffindors. They jump into battle to quickly for my taste." Honoo nodded a little.

"Agreed, but Ravenclaws spend half their time studying the other half gossiping," Toushi snickered.

"Hufflepuff isn't much better, they are to trusting for their own good," Arashi smirks. "I mean seriously, trusting is good, if you use caution, if you don't it could get you killed."

"So it's a safe assumption that I'll be seeing you three in Slytherin…" Draco smirks.

"Obviously, Ryuu," Toushi smiled.

Draco looks at them, "Why do you keep calling me that?"

"It's Japanese for dragon," Arashi grinned.

"So if I get a name what does that make me?" Draco raised an eyebrow.

"That is for you to figure out dear Ryuu," Honoo smirked.

All right, I know it's still short I'm working on getting them longer. Thank you to all those who reviewed. I was very surprised this morning when I found I had four reviews… it shocked me it really did I wasn't expecting any reviews that fast but Thank you to any body who read this story.

nitwitte- Hey thank you for the review, yes Harry was abused daily it wasn't like the books where they just locked him up and stuff they basically used him as a human punching bag. Yeah I've read The Silver Trio, good story, wish she'd hurry up and update, mine right now sounds kind of like it but that will change… I have lot of plans for this story and I'm always open to new ideas. Any time you wanna review and give me an idea go ahead. I need something to occupy my time, I'm sick of talking to nurses all day long.

korrd- Thanks for the review; I'm thinking I might bring her into the group in the next book. It's always fun to bring her in, the whole only girl with 7 brothers, I know I'd hate it, so defiantly plan on seeing her in the next book.

Oh, to all my readers, I'm currently in the hospital so I have a lot of time to type and such. This is my second stay here; my tests show that every thing is looking healthy again. Which is a very good thing because I really hate those Chemotherapy treatments, but they think they got it this time so I'll be home soon and surprise surprise I'll have even more time to update.

As always please read and review, I love hearing from you people. See you soon, like probably later today.
