LPGirl05: ;LE GASP!; How could FF . net do such a thing! I believe you! I don't think it's a good Idea to kick the computer though. You could break it and then either you wouldn't be able to read, or I wouldn't be able to update. Of coarse, I'd write the stories out than update on my friends computer so it's ok. I want Thorn and Jou back to. They'll be back! Unless Kit and Cloe keep me from updating ;glares;
Kit and Cloe: meep!
Anywho, thanks! You will? That ish sooo nice! Tanks! Don't worry, I blame FF . net for not giving me you're review. They're turning eviler and eviler every minute so you cant trust them for long.

Domino or Bust!
Chapter 3: Hogwarts express . . . go figure.
BAM!
CRASH!
BOOM!
Rosa woke with a start. Lyins was hiding under her pillow from all the ruckus from somewhere else in the small English pub. She sat up slowly. At the movement, Lyins poked his head out and desperately tried to fly onto his owner's shoulder. Rosa chuckled at the tiny dragon's actions and picked him up. Placing him on the pillow and telling him to stay while she changed.
about half and hour later, she exited from the add on bathroom wrapped in a towel and her hair dripping on the carpet. She quickly dried her hair and changed. She glanced over at Lyins and laughed. He would jump into the air, flap his tiny wings as hard as it could only to stay suspended in the air for no more than a few seconds, and plop back down in the pillow. She turned back to the mirror to check her appearance.
She wore a black spaghetti strap top and a pair of rose pink flares. In the middle of her shirt was a rose made out of pink spinal sequins while a line of the same small jewels where sewn into the hem and collar of the shirt. Over the top was a rose pink sheer short sleeve jacket. Her jeans had a thorned rose running up the left leg in schorl(black) sequins.
She mused over weather she should cut her hair or not for about the 1500th time that week. She didn't know weather it would be better long or short so it was a hard decision. Everyone had told her to cut it. That she looked better with it short. But, at the time, she hadn't seen the point in cutting it. Having been to depressed about her mother's death and Thorn being stolen.
She sighed as the noise behind her door continued. She walked over to her bed and picked up Lyins and placed him on her shoulder. The black ankle socks on her feet muffling the sound a bit. Slipping on her shoes, she made her way down with the tiny dragon perched on her shoulder. The sight nearly made her explode into laughter.
Azote and Hex where fighting as usual. The funny thing was the fact that Azote was covered head to toe in blue and black feathers and Hex had twigs and leaved in her messed up hair. Fiamma seemed to be selling tickets to anyone who was willing to buy and seemed to be making a lot of money off the small scheme.
Azote's Howler monkey, Selket, and Hex's Owl, Sunutek, where glaring at each other. You could almost literally see the sparks fly. The moisture, Cirrus, was sitting - er - floating on Sue's shoulder while Tori's harpy, Tasu, sat and watched the lively event. Rosa just stared in amusement at the antics of her friends and there animals.
"Oi, What's going on down there?" Rosa turned to see a sleepy male with his arm around Andre's waist. The male wore a black T-shirt and a pair of black boxers. His already messy, black hair with forest green and amber tips seemed extremely messy with all the tufts of hair sticking out in random places. One storm gray eye was half open while the other one was being rubbed by a pale hand to get the sleep out.
Andre seemed just as tired. He wore his trademark light blue Pj's that where a lot less wrinkled and seemed to have just been thrown on. His goldenrod hair seemed longer now that it was out of it's small ponytail while his eyes had drooped so that he was sleeping while standing up. His oatmeal skin with a dash of honey contrasted greatly with that of the slightly taller teen beside him.
They had both obviously been taken from the comforts of sleep.
Rosa smiled. She knew at once that the pale male(hay! That rhymed!) was none other than Jayson. The proof was a small, golden cross that hung off his neck by a black string. "Hay Jay! How ya been?" At the small nickname Jayson had earned from his friends, he looked up. Sleep no longer existent in those storm gray eyes of his. "Rosa?" He asked uncertainly.
Rosa nodded. "You might wanna wake him up." She stated; pointing at Andre. "We'll be leaving soon." Jayson nodded dub struck. Either from seeing his long time friend after about 10 years, having his and Andre's secret exposed so soon and no one freaking out, or a latter of both. Either way, he woke Andre up who blushed at finding Rosa watching the two intently while Jayson's arm was still around his waist.
Rosa turned her attention back to the others, but not before hearing Jayson mumble "She needs a hair cut." to Andre who nodded. Azote and Hex where now being held back by Sue and Tori so they didn't make each other bleed. 'Now is a good time to step in.' She told herself before breaking up the soon to have been fight. So, the two sat in corners while glaring, and growling at each other.
Andre came down seconds later with his luggage. Jayson fallowed with his. His eyes darted around the pub as to ensure no one could see him. There was a bunch of red heads, a brown haired girl and a black haired boy, but they only glance glared at him. Rosa guessed that Jayson had been put into Slytherin since the red heads looked like they belonged in Griffondor.
: I don't like those people staring at us. :
Sue sighed. Azote glared at the group and asked if they had a staring problem or if they just wanted a black eye. The youngest red headed boy moved to get out of his seat, but the black haired boy held him back. The red head sat down slowly; glaring at Azote who just rolled her eyes. She'd been glared at by Mahaddo on more than one occasion and the boy paled greatly in comparison.
Rosa's POV
We all walked into the train station. Gods, It's more crowded than the airport! I could tell the family of red heads with the brunette and coal haired boy where behind us. I kept glancing back. The red head from earlier was glaring at us . . . no. Not us. Azote. I'm guessing he didn't like her all that much. Andre stopped us between platforms 9 and 10. He then explained how to get to the Hogwarts train.
"Andre, you must be on some strong type 'a Crack to think I'm going to run into a wall." Azote said with her arms crossed. The others nodded in agreement while Jayson just rolled his eyes and moved his trolley in front of the pillar. He took a running start, and disappeared into the wall. Everyone had gaped at the spot where Jayson was last seen while Sue and I just looked on in amazement.
"H - how did he do that?" Hex asked since she was the first to get her voice back. Andre just rolled his eyes and said "Magic." as if it was the most obvious answer . . . and to be honest, it was. He pushed his trolley with the trunk on it. Everyone else fallowed his example except me. I had my things in the backpack on my shoulder and the bag slung over my arm since I didn't have a trunk.
When it was my turn to run into the wall, I closed my eyes and ran. Instead of hitting the wall like I thought I would, I passed right through. I could feel my eyes widen at the sight of the large black and blood red locomotive. Sue and Tori who had come in before me gaped at the large train as well. As soon as the others charged through, they stopped to gape at the train's beauty.
"Come on guys!" Andre yelled. "We need to get in a compartment before they all fill up!" Soon, we where all in a compartment. It could barely fit six of us so, Andre enlarged it and we all took a seat. It was a lot more roomy and could fit 12 easily. When I asked where Jayson was, Andre replied saying he was on Prefect duty . . . what ever that is.
I sat by the window so I could watch the scenery. Soon the train started and there was a knock on the closed compartment door. "Come in or stay out! Whichever you prefer!" Fiamma called cheerfully. The door opened to reveal the redhead from earlier along with the brunette and the kid with coal colored hair who had been with him and his seemingly large family.
Said red head(Hay! That rhymed too!) had a pair of clear blue eyes while his face seemed to have freckles splashed everywhere. The brunette's hair was long and frizzy. She had clear skin and hazel colored eyes. The boy with the messy coal black hair, had dull green eyes that's spark seemed to have dimmed, and where covered by a thin strip of glass from his taped up glasses.
The most peculiar thing though was the lightning bolt shaped scar on his forehead.
The redhead glared at Azote who glared back. "Um, do you mind if we sit here?" The girl asked. I'm guessing it's because of the fact that that the silence was making her uncomfortable. "Sure!" Tori replied with as much enthusiasm as Fiamma. They all settled into any vacant seats . . . which happened to be right across from me.
"I'm Hermione Granger." The girl said to me. "These two are Ron Weasly and Harry Potter." I nodded. "The names Rosa." I sighed. "The boy over there is Andre who's sitting beside Fiamma. The blonde over there is Tori. The girl beside her is Hex. The girl diagonal from her is Sue, and the girl beside Sue is Azote.". I turned to Ron. "Ron, please excuse Azote for earlier."
I told him quietly so Azote herself wouldn't hear. "She doesn't like it when people stare at her." Ron nodded and became a little less tense. A small chirp drew there attention to my carry on bag. I pulled out the little black bungle and they stared at it in utter awe. "And this little guy in Lyins." I said before raising him so he could hop onto my shoulder . . . which he did.
"You know they don't allow dragons at school," Hermione told me. "No. When I got my letter, It didn't say anything about school supplies so Andre just told us what to get.". "I don't think I've seen you around Hogwarts mate." Ron stated. Before I replied with "I'm a transfer." They nodded. "Hay Harry," I smiled. "Nice scar!". Harry seemed shocked for some reason, but I dismissed it.
"Hay Rosa," I looked at Hermione. "Why do you have on two different earrings?". I was confuzzled(confused) for a minute before I realized that I had on the earrings Isis had given me. "Oh." I sad a little bit sadder. "A friend of mine liked the earrings so we traded the right one." My day had been ruined. I wasn't expecting today to make me blue since I hadn't had my nightmare for about a week.
I pulled my feet up off the floor so I could hug them to my chest and leaned my head on the window. Why did they have to notice my earrings of all things? I sighed and kept my gaze on the moving scenery outside. I could feel Lyins snuggling into my neck. Having sensed my sudden shift in emotion. I could feel the eyes of Hermione on me, but I ignored it. I let my mind drift. Going in a direction I hope it wouldn't.
((((((((((((((((((Flash Back))))))))))))))))))
Normal POV
The sky was pouring down rain. A 7-year-old Rosa stared out the window at the rain. Boredom had taken up her schedule for the day leaving her nothing to do. "Rosa," Rosa turned to look at her darker half who approached her slowly. "Wanna play?" Rosa smiled and nodded before jumping off the couch and hurrying to her room with Thorn fallowing at the same pace.
She stopped at a large bureau and tried to open one of the drawers. It jolted open and she fell backwards. Thorn ran over to her fallen double. "Rosa! Rosa! Are you alright!". "I think so Thorn." Rosa replied. Rosa sat up and Thorn pulled a puzzle out of the drawer. The two instantly began to put the puzzle together. Piece by Piece.
"Thorn?"
"Yah Rosa?"
"Your earrings awe very pretty. Can I see one?"
"Can I see one of yours?"
Rosa and Thorn exchanged earrings and looked over them. Rosa put Thorn's dark rose colored earring in place of her other one and Thorn did the same with her regular rose pink one. They both laughed at how weird it looked. "Rosa!" Jou called. "Coming Mommy!" Rosa stood up while Thorn fazed into the scarab. That way, Thorn could keep a solid eye on Rosa.
"Yes Mommy?" Rosa asked as she approached Jou. "Yami's here. Get Thorn so you two can start your lesson." Thorn fazed out of the scarab and they both ran out to greet Yami and Bakura and start there lesson. Jou fallowed them out and headed over to a large oak tree where Seto was sitting for shade from the bright sunny day it had become just a few seconds ago.
((((((((((((((((((End Flashback))))))))))))))))))
That memory triggered more every time it was remembered. I led to The men coming. Which then led to Thorn being stolen and Jou being killed.
: Rosa, are you ok:
Rosa just sat there. Staring out the window. Completely ignoring her friend's comforting gesture. Unbeknownst to her, tears rushed down her cheeks. Quickly making spots on the seat. Everyone had taken notice. Even Hex and Azote who had been in another verbal fight stopped there quarreling at there friend's weird behavior.
Rosa was curled up in a ball of silent sobs. "Did I say something wrong?" Hermione asked worriedly. "Well, what did you say?" Tori asked. "All I did was ask her why she had two different earrings.". Fiamma sighed. "Don't bug her about it." Fiamma sighed. "It'll just remind her of her conflict with the past." Hex was going to ask what he was talking about when the door flew open.
"Well if it isn't Potter, Weasel, and mudblood Granger." Said a rich, snobby looking boy with bleach blonde, slicked back hair and ice - blue eyes. "Stick a sock in it Malfoy." Andrew hissed. Nearly scaring everyone(besides the HP hang) into a coma at his harsh words. The boy just snarled and replied. "And why would I listen to you, you filthy little mudblood loving trator?"
"Malfoy," Malfoy turned. Jayson was standing behind him. "Ah. Jayson. I - "
"That's Coleman to you Malfoy. And I suggest you leave them be. You should have been guarding the halls. Not picking on students."
"Right. Right. I get right to it then-"
"No Mr. Malfoy. I'll take over this hall. You take mine."
Malfoy growled and stomped off towards the door. As soon as it was closed, Jayson turned to face the group. There was a small smirk on his lips as he did so. He winked, and left without a word. Andre was reduced to a puddle of smiles while Rosa had gone back to looking out the window.
A few hours later, everyone was chatting regularly. The food cart had come around and everyone had bought something except for Rosa who just stared out the window. "Oi Rosa, You gonna eat anything?" Harry asked. Rosa just shook her head no and pulled out a drawing pad and a pencil and began to sketch. Lyins was on her shoulder. Watching intently with his large red eyes.
After a little while, Rosa looked up. Everyone was in there robes so she figured time had passed greatly. She was right. For the train was slowing to a sudden halt and the whistle sounded. Everyone stood from there positions and headed out the train. Rosa didn't like the looks she was getting from the other students. They made her nervous.
"So where do we go?" Hex asked as they got to the fork that led to the boats and the carriages. "Come with us to the carriages. We'll figure something out there." Andre suggested. So the group did as told. The carriages rode a little ways before stopping at a large castle. While they entered the great hall, they where stopped by Professor McGonnagall. "You six, Come with me." She said. "Potter, Granger, Weasly, Vara-de-oro, You go to you're tables." The three did as told and left.
"You six, fallow me." The six fallowed this strange woman. "You six will be sorted after the first years." She said as she led them to the group of 1st years. Then she led the even bigger group to the great hall where there was a stool waiting. Said stool had a tattered and sewn old wizards hat placed on top that looked like it could, and would, come alive at any second.
