Chapter 2: On the Train
Harry Potter sat on the train bound for Hogwarts, staring out of the window. It was raining, so it was darker than normal. Ron and Hermione were off doing god-knows-what, leaving him alone. He sighed.
He heard the compartment door open, and, expecting it to be Ron and/or Hermione, he didn't turn around. He did turn however, when he heard an "ahem." He looked and saw a boy of about his age standing there.
"Do you mind if my friends and I join you?" the boy asked, motioning to three girls behind him.
"Not at all." Harry said, studying the boy.
He had deep blue eyes, like the depths of the ocean, and rich brown, short, spiky hair. Harry also noticed that the boy was taller than him.
Sitting opposite Harry, the boy started the introductions.
"I, am Rai-Rom." Then, motioning to the girl next to him, he said
This, is my twin sister, Sin-Zhi." the girl nodded at Harry. She too had short brown hair, but her eyes were a fiery red.
Motioning to the girl on his other side, "This is Juk-Zot." this girl had long, dirty blonde hair that was in a braid going down half of her back. Her eyes were peculiar. One brown. One green.
"And finally," Rai-Rom started , "this is Kai-Tao." This girl bowed her head. Long straight, black hair cascaded down her shoulders, and around her pale face. Her eyes were a cat-like yellow.
"I'm..." Harry started
"Harry Potter. Yes. We know." Sin-Zhi finished for him.
He looked over and found her staring at him. An awkward silence filled the room.
The compartment door opened then, and Harry looked up, almost happy for a distraction, for Sin-Zhi was still staring at him. Hermione was at the door.
"Hi Harry." she said, then noticed the others. "I see we have guests."
"Yes. This is Rai-Rom, Sin-Zhi, Juk-Zot, and Kai-Tao." Harry introduced.
Each one greeted Hermione the same way they greeted Harry.
"I'm Hermione Granger."
"It's a pleasure to meet you." Rai-Rom said, clearly the speaker of the group.
"Are you transferring here? I don't believe that I have seen you before." Hermione asked.
"Yes. Were from..." he paused and looked at his companions, as if deciding what to say. "Were from America." he finished after a moment.
Harry and Hermione looked at each other, then Hermione said, "Well then. Welcome to Hogwarts."
"Thank you." Rai-Rom nodded
"Hermione? Can I speak to you for a moment?" Harry asked.
"Sure."
Once outside the compartment, Harry spoke just loud enough for Hermione to hear.
"Hermione, I get a weird feeling around them. Sin-Zhi, the girl with brown hair, said that they knew me, which isn't a surprise, but it was how she said it. Plus she wouldn't stop staring at me."
"And he had to look at them to say where they came from. As if he was asking for permission, or what to answer with. Do you think that they're working for Voldemort?"
"I'm not sure. But I think that we should keep an eye on them."
"Agreed. Now you should get in there before they suspect anything."
"See you later."
Of course, with Juk-Zot being half-elf she had heard every word, and had reported to the others.
"Should we try to convince him otherwise?' Kai-Tao asked
"No. That will cause more suspicion. Just act like you normally would. We'll take this as it comes." Rai-Rom answered
When Harry returned, the four looked at him, waiting for a response. Instead, he asked a question.
"What was you last school like?"
"Uhhhhhh... It was very similar to Hogwarts. You needn't worry." Rai-Rom answered
"I see..."
'It's going to be hard to keep suspicion down, if he keeps asking these questions." Sin-Zhi told Rai-Rom telepathically. Being twins, they had formed a link.
'I know. I will come up with some info tonight.'
'We will be separated. You told us that they don't allow the males with the females at night.'
'Good thing were telepathic then, huh?'
'Well, if you need me, don't hesitate to call.' she "said" brimming with sarcasm.
'Just because you like to fight, doesn't mean that I will need your help. If I remember correctly, I bested you the last time we sparred. And it is more likely that you will get into the fight, not me.'
Sin-Zhi glared at her brother, and broke the link. Meanwhile, while the twins were "talking", Harry and Juk-Zot had struck up a conversation. Although Rai-Rom was the group speaker, Juk-Zot was the friendliest of the four, and would easily talk to you, given the chance to open up.
Again the door opened. This time revealing a pale blonde boy, flanked by what looked like his bodyguards.
"Potter." the boy hissed
"Malfoy" Harry responded in kind.
"New freaks for you to consort with I see." Malfoy said looking at the breeds.
Sin-Zhi jumped to her feet, fists clenched. Rai-Rom closed his eyes and breathed deeply, Kai-Tao glared fiercely at the boy. And Juk-Zot looked hurt.
Rai-Rom reached out to Sin-Zhi, 'Be calm my sister. We can't reveal our true selves yet.'
"Excuse me, but who are you?" Rai-Rom asked, hoping that he could avoid any blood-shed, as that was what his twin wanted.
"I suggest that you call me God." the boy answered, dripping with self-confidence.
Rai-Rom sighed and said, "Very well."
This brought quite the arrogant smile to Malfoy's face.
"Sin-Zhi, would you mind?" Rai-Rom asked
An evil smile was brought to her face with these words, as Malfoy's smile dropped.
"But don't kill him. We've only been here a day. We don't need that on our record."
"Fine."
She inched towards the blondie until she could smell his breath.
A/N: just in case you were wondering, that would be about three inches from his fac. Draco, being perfect, takes care of his teeth.
"I recommend that you leave." she growled
"And if I don't?"
She smiled and held up her right hand. A bright red flame appeared in her palm.
"You wouldn't want that pretty face of yours to get singed, would you?"
Malfoy eyed the fire warily, but held his ground. When Sin-Zhi saw that he wouldn't budge, she brought her other hand up.
"Let's try this again."
This time pitch black flames sprouted from her other hand. Malfoy's eyes widened in fear, and he started to back away.
"Now I say this to you only once. Don't FUCK with us." she then proceeded to set his crotch aflame.
Malfoy ran away screaming, "You haven't seen the last of me!"
A/N: I know that was really old fashioned, but I couldn't come up with anything else.
"Thank you Sin-Zhi. And that you for restraining yourself." Rai-Rom said
Sin-Zhi nodded curtly and sat back down. Harry meanwhile, was filled with mixed emotions. Happiness, almost to the point of giddiness, because of what happened to Malfoy. Shock and a little bit fear, because he could see those flames, and new they were dark magic. All he could do was stare at the girl who had set his nemesis's crotch on fire.
The train slowed, signaling their arrival.
A/N: what do you think? R & R
