Chapter 5. Explanations

"Back so soon?" Dumbledore asked cheerfully as he saw the girls come through the door, but frowned as he realized that Sirius and James were being dragged in by their ears by Filch, closely followed by Remus, Harry, and Ron. Draco brought in the rear of the group.
"Caught them wandering around the halls, headmaster. What would you like me to do with them?" Filch sneered while Sirius and James twisted painfully in his grip.
"Argus, will you please let go of the boys so that I may have a discussion with them? I assure you that they will be punished," Dumbledore added, which caused Filches unpleasant look into a twisted grin.
"Yes, headmaster," he answered, bowing.
Dumbledore waited until Filch had shut the door and footsteps had faded away until he spoke.
"So, I see we have another transfer student. We seem to be getting a lot of those lately," Dumbledore said, eyes twinkling. "Is he from your school?" he asked Hermione, eyes filled with wonder.
"In fact, he is," Hermione addressed to the headmaster.
"What is your name?" Dumbledore asked him.
"Draco Malf... OW you stupid mudbloods!" he yelled at Raven and Silvia, who kicked him unnecessarily hard in the shins.
"What did you call them?" Sirius, James, Harry, and Ron demanded, all pulling out their wands together and pointing them at him. Remus would have, except he knew and cared about the consequences, but showed his rage by glaring at Draco, eyes turning golden for a moment, and he walked up to Silvia and put a protective arm around her, as a warning. "Will you all kindly act your age?" Dumbledore asked sternly. "He's a Malfolett, all of us are kind of sworn enemies in our school, or atleast us against him," Hermione hurriedly explained. "Indeed," Dumbledore muttered to himself thoughtfully, then looked up at them. "Well, I think that he is in need of being sorted."
The old headmaster took down the sorting hat and motioned for Draco to come over to him. Draco walked grudgingly up to the hat and placed it on his head.
"Slytherin!" it announced before it was barely completely on.
Draco grinned with pleasure, not getting the hint from others that he shouldn't be so sure about where he had wanted to go. Quick to cover it up, Dumbledore announced that they would be needing to have a house elf immediately add an extra bed to the Slytherin common room.
"Well, looks like you're stuck with me, no matter how hard you try," Draco sneered at the Gryffindors while they all filed out of Dumbledore's office.
"Why don't you stuff it where the sun don't shine, huh?" Gemini asked, feeling quite brave.
"Yeah!" Ron agreed. "We don't want any more of Draco, the Amazing Bouncing Ferret, now do we?" he asked, glancing at the look on their sworn enemies face.
"I suggest you shut your pie-hole, because if my father gets a word of this, you will all be at the hands of the Dark Lord," Draco threatened.
"Do you always run to daddy for everything?" Silvia asked him.
"Yeah, because it gets sickening," Raven and Fear said together, then laughed. Just like Silvia and Gemini did occasionally, they would say exactly what the other was.
"So does the way you guys are always talking to each other as if you can read the others mind. I mean, for crying out loud, what is the matter with you?" Draco asked, frustrated.
"It's what close friends do, they know each other so well, that they can guess what the other is saying," Gemini told him slowly, as if to a four year old.
"Which you would know nothing about, considering all you have is two henchmen whose muscles leave no room for brains," Harry chimed in, then traded a high-five with Ron.
Draco glared silently at him, "Oh, yes, famous boy has got to get in his words, now, doesn't he? Don't you ever get sick of all the blimey attention that you seek for with that arrogant thick-headed skull of yours?" he asked deadly, yet softly.
"Hey, you want to know something, Mr. Skeezy-Blonde-Gel-Plastered- Head. James here is the arrogant king, and it's gonna stay that way!" Sirius jokingly argued, while James sulked in a corner, giving false death- glares.
"Yes, yes, of course, I see where scar-head here got all of his knowledge, oh wait, he couldn't because your dea..." but the rest was muffled as everyone except the three Marauders jumped on him in an attempt to shut his mouth.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Draco roared, obviously enraged.
"Well, since you obviously can't talk politely and talk without making death threats, we've decided to make things better on your case and shut that flapping jaw on your face!" Ron growled, while Hermione muttered 'Petrific Totalus!' (can't remember the spelling.)
"Maybe that will teach you some manners," Harry muttered, looking down at him.
"I think we should get going," Remus said matter of factly, taking Silvia's hand, who walked dreamily next to him.
"Me, too," Sirius agreed, putting his arm around Raven's neck and walking as though he owned the place, in an odd sort of way, while she sort of trailed behind him, not being able to take as long strides as him.
"Want to follow the crowd?" Frank asked Fear, grinning.
"Why not, if that's what's in style," she smiled back, before "So, ummmm, you ready to go?" Harry asked Gemini oddly. She nodded a little and they awkwardly held hands and walked after their friends. "Mad," Hermione laughed a bit, glancing at Ron. "Barking," Ron agreed before turning to look at her. They both just glanced at each other for a while until James groaned. "I can't take it any more!" he yelled, frustrated. He walked up to them and grabbed their hands. "Here, you guys love each other, and you know it. Just go out already!" he ordered, shoving Hermione's hand in Ron's. They both glanced at him, then back at each other. They turned and followed the others, but not before they blushed bright crimson. "Now who's barking," James scoffed, laughing and shaking his head as he brought up the rear. "That's what they are, barking mad."

Sorry it has been taking me so long with story chapters, but I have been really busy with getting ready for school and cheerleading. Well, I hope everyone likes it and tell me what you think. R&R! Thank you to everyone who has sent me reviews! Raven
