Lynx: Hey guys! This is my first fic, so please bear with me.
Nyt: We wrote this story together, Lynx. We'll do fine.
Lynx: Ok, well you can do the disclaimer now if you'd like.
Nyt: Ok. We do not own Harry Potter. But we do own everything else and please note we have yet to come up with a name for the school. If you have any ideas, we would love to hear them.
Lynx and Nyt: Now on with the story!
Chapter One: The sorting and making of new friends
Three figures walked toward the school with the first years, even though they were in their seventh year. They were transferring from another school so they couldn't go with the other seventh years since they hadn't been placed into a house or team yet. So they had to go with all the first years.
The school they were going to had nine years. It was almost like middle and high school altogether. They weren't sure what house they would be placed in but they hoped they wouldn't be separated from each other.
They walked inside the school and toward the Great Hall, a large room where all four houses ate all their meals. The houses were, Snake, Gryffin, Eagle, and Husky. They would be placed in one.
They were told that they would go first, as since they were transfers and there were only three of them. They got a laugh out of that.
"Lynx Phoenix."
One of the friends went first toward the Principal. He was a friendly person, about 60 and very handsome. Lynx stood before him and waited as he looked over her papers. Their papers would tell him which house would be suitable for them to be placed into.
"I do believe that you being placed with the Gryffin's would be the best choice."
Everyone from the Gryffin table clapped and yelled as Lynx walked toward her new home and sat down by a boy about two years older than her with red hair.
"Name's Fred."
"Lynx."
"Welcome to Gryffin." He smiled at her.
"Thanks."
"Nyt Nikov." The Principal called.
Nyt slowly walked up to him and waited just like Lynx had before her. She looked over at Lynx and looked doubtful. Lynx smiled at her and nodded, saying that even if they weren't placed in the same house they would always be friends. Nyt nodded and looked back at the Principal.
"I think that you will be placed in Gryffin's most hated house. You will be a Snake."
Nyt looked horrified while Lynx looked like she was going to die of shock. They were on opposite side, mortal enemies and yet they were best friends. Nyt walked over toward her new home and sat down. She didn't look at whom she sat beside just continued to look at the floor.
"Skyra Downa."
Skyra walked up and stood before the Principal. She looked at the other teachers as she waited. One of them was looking at Nyt. He looked like he wanted to get to know her.
"You will be with one of your companions, to say the least, but I should put you in another house. Gryffin you will be."
Skyra looked at Nyt once, noticing Nyt looking at the floor then walked and sat down beside Lynx.
"Everything will be ok, Skyra. We three will never stop being friends. I don't care what house we're in. Nyt won't become one of them."
Skyra simply nodded and looked at the plate in front of her. She didn't want to look at anyone. There was only one person that she would look at without anyone noticing. And that was the person sitting in front of her. He had jet-black hair and emerald green eyes.
Lynx noticed that Skyra kept on staring at the boy sitting exactly in front of her but didn't say anything or do anything that would give her friend away on her crush.
"How do you like it here so far, Lynx?" Fred asked.
"I'm not sure yet. I'm still trying to get over the fact that my best friend has been placed in Snake."
"I see."
"Very funny, Fred." The boy with jet-black hair and emerald green eyes said.
"Shut up, Harry."
Harry just looked at Fred then looked at Lynx.
"Don't mind him. Fred and his twin, George, are our clowns. If you ever need cheering up, they can do the job, and without being paid."
Lynx laughed alittle at the look on Fred's face once Harry said that. He looked hurt that someone would think that he wanted to get paid.
"I don't care about being paid, Harry. I don't want to be paid just to make someone feel better when they're down. I enjoy making people laugh and that's payment enough."
With that said Fred went back to eating and said nothing else through dinner. Lynx would risk a few glances toward Fred and he would glance back. He actually caught her looking once and she blushed, looking away.
One dinner was over they went to their house common room. They went through a door, opened by the house guard and went inside to relax. It was a magnificent place, with a boy's and girl's dormitory.
"Now, so the first years will know the rules. The guy's dormitory is to your left while the girl's dormitory is to your right. Boys are not allowed in the girl's dormitory, but the girls are allowed in the boy's dormitory." The Head Gryffin said.
"Why is that?" One of the first years asked.
"Because the girl's are trusted more than the guys are when it comes to dormitories. The Principal knows that girl's wont' try anything stupid like we would." Fred said.
"Fred is right. Girl's can be trusted more than guys can. So, at eleven o'clock everyone should be in their own dorms. I don't care if you do not head for bed exactly at eleven, but you are not to be in the common room, outside of the tower or in the other dorms. You are to be in you own dorms at eleven o'clock sharp."
Everyone nodded then watched as the Head Gryffin left.
"Well, what do you guys and gals want to do for the next three hours?" Fred asked.
The first years looked alittle scared at being with the others, since this was their first time here. Then they realized that two of the seventh years were transfers, so they didn't know this place either. They looked less scared but still weren't sure what they wanted to do.
"Well, I want to have some fun before we have to turn in." Harry said, looking at Skyra. She blushed as she looked away.
Harry continued to look at her and smiled. Lynx nudged Skyra, motioning her to go and talk to him. Skyra shook her head, but then changed her mind when Lynx said that she'd go talk to him and tell him to come over here and talk with her.
Lynx smiled as she watched Skyra try to talk with Harry. Then she felt a hand on her shoulder and turned around to see Fred standing behind her.
"How about we dance? That way the first years won't be so scared and can get to know the rest of us and become friends." George suggested.
Everyone agreed with him, while Fred smirked, knowing good and well that he only said that cause he knew that his twin would probably suggest it sooner or later.
Suddenly music started playing and people were dancing. Two of them were Harry and Skyra.
"Would you do me the honour and dance with me, Lynx?" Fred asked.
Lynx smiled and nodded, taking his hand and started dancing with him. It was quiet fun dancing with him and she enjoyed herself, though deep down she was missing Nyt.
Nyt sat in one of the chairs as everyone in Snake talked amongst themselves. Nyt didn't want any part of it. All she wanted to do was talk to Lynx. Don't get her wrong, Skyra was her friend too, but Lynx was her best friend. She could confide in Lynx more than she could with Skyra.
A blond haired, silvery gray eyed boy walked up to her and smirked.
"So, you miss your friends?"
"Yes, I do. Wouldn't you if you had any friends?"
The blond boy looked slightly hurt by that statement but resumed his expressionless mask.
"I don't have friends. And you shouldn't either, not with those Gryffins. They are our enemy and you'd do us all a favor if you stopped being their friend. You don't need them, not when you have us. We are better than they are."
"I will never turn my back on my friends. And nothing you say or do will change my mind."
"Whatever you say. By the way, my name's Draco."
"Nyt."
"Well then, welcome to Snake, Nyt."
Nyt nodded then slowly went to her room. She lay down on her bed without changing her clothes and went to sleep. She didn't want to think about what she might have to do since she was now against her own friends. She fell into a restless sleep and thought about all the times where Lynx was there for her and how Skyra always seemed to not only mess thing up but also right her mistakes.
Lynx continued to have a wonderful time with Fred. He was exactly like Harry had said he was. He could make you smile and laugh very easily, even when you think nothing will make you smile again. She wanted to kiss him but wasn't sure if she should. But she seriously wanted to.
And as if he could read her mind Fred bent down and softly kissed her on the lips while they continued to slow dance. She almost didn't respond, but when she noticed him pulling away she lightly kissed back and Fred suddenly deepened it.
Lynx didn't care that he was two years older, and she didn't think he cared that she was two years younger, otherwise he wouldn't have kissed her. He was a good kisser, and was definitely easy on the eyes.
Fred tightened his hold on Lynx and slowly drew her closer to him. But as he did this he made sure no one notice. Then he lightly licked her bottom lip, teasing her alittle. She smiled slightly then let his tongue push between her lips and explore her mouth.
Suddenly the music was turned off and Fred pulled away. They smiled at each other and then acted like nothing happened. They looked toward the stereo and noticed that Harry had turned the music off.
"What's going on, Harry?" His best friend, Ron, asked.
"It's almost midnight, guys." Harry answered.
Everyone in the common room fell completely silent. They should have been in their dorms by now. They quickly and quietly cleaned everything up and snuck into their dorms. Fred and Lynx were the last ones in the common room. Before they went to their separate dorms Fred grabbed her by the arm and kissed her fiercely.
"Hopefully…maybe…we could do that again…sometime." Fred was blushing, but didn't want to look away.
Lynx kissed him softly. "Maybe." Then she went inside her dorm, shut the door and walked into her room. She had her own, unlike some people. Skyra had to share a room with two other fourth years.
As Lynx went to sleep the feel of Fred's lips on hers were still so clear. She could still taste him as if he was there kissing her. She blushed as she thought about that. He was really a good kisser, and he wanted to do it again sometime. And she said maybe, after kissing him for a third time. She smiled then fell into a deep sleep, dreaming of Fred.
