Hey guys, sorry about the shortness of the last chapter… I had a lot going on, but I'm hoping to keep a more regulated schedule. But any way here is the fourth chapter guys.

Chapter 4

The three boys woke early the next morning they dressed and got their things together. Toushi was waiting in the Slytherin common room for them. "Did Ryuu finally figure it out?"

"Obviously Toushi, and we accepted him as our friend, will you do the same?" Arashi slung his book bag over his shoulder.

Toushi nodded, "I guess… I'll give it a shot."

The four walked to breakfast, only getting lost twice and Honoo got stuck in a trick step. They walked into the great hall to many stares and muttering, mainly about Arashi being evil and so on. The four quickly ate and set out to find their first class, luckily one of the ghosts helped them.

Their first class of the day was Transfigurations and they had it with the Ravenclaws. The Professor was as they thought, strict. They spent the class turning matches into needles, Arashi and Toushi managed fairly easily. Honoo managed it at the end of class with a few other classmates. At the end of class Ryuu still hadn't managed it.

"Don't worry about it Ryuu we'll help you…" Toushi smiled a little.

Ryuu looked up to them, "Thanks guys."

"No problem Ryuu," Arashi smirked. "Now come on we gotta get to potions before we are late!"

All four rushed down to the dungeons and skidded right out side the door, they walked just as the bell rang.

"That was close…" Honoo panted.

"Please sit down…" Professor Snape growled.

The Janen found some seats and sat, Arashi was partnered with Ryuu and Toushi and Honoo worked together.

"Perhaps one of you can tell me what not to add with Snake venom?" Snape looked around the class waiting, smirking.

Honoo raised his hand along with Ryuu; they waited patiently while a Gryffindor was waving his hand around franticly.

Snape glared at the Gryffindor, he turned to Ryuu, "Mr. Malfoy."

"Sir, you don't want to add Phoenix tears with Venom, the healing powers of the tears would react with the poisonous properties of the venom. This would cause the potion the explode giving off a very toxic smell." Ryuu answered showing nothing of the grin that danced in his ice-like eyes.

"Ten points to Slytherin," Snape went on to explain properties of both items. Then he had everyone start on a boil-curing potion. A boy named Neville managed to melt his cauldron had had to be sent to the hospital wing.

As the class was dismissed the Slytherins left laughing, the Gryffindors glaring at them. The Janen group laughed with the rest of the Slytherins; even if most of the upper years still had problems with them being in Slytherin Ryuu had enough influence in the house to stop them from doing much more then glare at them.

Arashi glanced at his schedule, "Alright we have lunch and then it's down to the greenhouses for Herbology, and we get stuck with the Hufflepuffs for this lesson."

Three groans met this announcement. Honoo moaned, "I hate gardening, I ended up degnoming the garden at home…"

Toushi grimaced, "I did a lot of gardening at Home but rather lost my liking for it over time."

Ryuu sighed, "I never liked playing in the dirt with mother… made my hair too hard to clean…"

Toushi laughed, "Ryuu really all you need is a power washer set to the lowest setting it does wonders for getting things out of your hair."

Ryuu glared, "And you couldn't have told me this when I was five! Where were you guys when I needed you?"

"Not here that's for sure…" Arashi smirked.

Ryuu rolled his eyes in doing so he saw the owl flying towards them. The owl deposited its letter in Ryuu's hand; the blond boy opened the letter and grinned, motioning the others to read over his shoulder.

Dear Draco,

Hello my son, your father is very pleased that you got into Slytherin. That said I have found a way for you to stay away from the manner this summer. I must ask now for it is very hard and very prestigious summer academy. It specializes in martial arts, animangus training, occlumency, and much more. I feel it would be beneficial to you, if you pass the first summer you will be asked to come back the next summer. The enrollment in this class is going to run short rather soon so please reply quickly. I had better go I hear your father coming… Be careful Draco.

Love,

Mom

"What do you think guys? I think I could get my mother to sign us all up, it would be something to do, other then sit at home…" Ryuu glanced at the others in turn.

Arashi went first, "I think it would be great, I'm in but I think we should use different names, we could use our nicknames and use Janen as the last name…that way it would be harder for people to find us."

"Very clever Idea Arashi, but what about the cost, my parents wont pay for it…" Toushi looked most upset.

"I know my parents couldn't afford it." Honoo sighed.

"We'll deal with it when it comes, trust me I've seen my vault, and I'm sure Ryuu will chip in." Arashi smiled.

"That's right," Ryuu smirked.

"We're in then." Both brunette and redhead replied.

"I'll right mother and tell her to sign us all up using our fake names." Ryuu smiled, "It'll be fun with you guys… I can't wait!"

The Janen all exchanged a smirking look with each other then walked the rest of the way to lunch.

P.S.- I just got finished reading HBP… It was very sad; I liked Dumbledore even if he was a manipulative old man… But still it wasn't as sad as when Sirius Died, I really wish he were back, he was funny. But I better go, it's storming outside and if mom catches me on the Internet… well you get the idea.
