Chapter 5: 'Orbing Would Have Been Much Quicker'

On The Hogwarts Express…

Ginny walked in and Leo holding Wyatt on his lap, with Chris in a baby seat by the window.

"Hey, you must be Ginny."

"Yeah, you're Leo." They shook hands. "So who is Wyatt and who is Chris?"

"This is Wyatt and Chris is in the seat. You can pick him up and play with him if you like, he should be awake." Ginny went over to him and he put his arms up and giggled, like he would do with someone he already knew. She picked him up and he giggled more.

"Wow, he never does that with strangers. He's only really like that with the girls. You baby-sit a lot?"

"No not at all. I'm the baby of the family so I didn't have any younger brothers or sisters that I could look after." Ginny picked up a toy and started playing with Chris.

"You seem like a natural. Maybe you could help us out by babysitting the kids once in a while?" Leo asked.

"Sure that would be great." For the next half hour, Ginny and Leo talked about the Wizarding world, what he should expect and everything. Soon after, the other returned and spoke about being the Charmed and Kinetic Charmed Ones. Around 2, the sweet lady came to them. Paige, with a sweet tooth for lollies, bought quite a lot but other than that, only Chocolate Frogs and Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans were bought by the Americans. The Kinetics eventually went back into their compartment a few hours later, playing exploding snap and Ron's travel Wizard Chess for further hour. It wasn't until a familiar blond Slytherin made an appearance that the door had opened.

"Well, if it isn't Potty, the Weasels and the Mudblood." Malfoy smirked.

"Get lost Malfoy, we don't want any trouble from people who aren't worth it." Harry told him, keeping his back to him.

"Think you're so great now you got your mudblood and blood traitor parents back don't you?"

"Screw you Malfoy, I wouldn't be doing anything really big anyway, the new Defence teachers are next door." Ron smiled at Malfoy's face. He obviously hadn't realised they were there. Or he just hadn't seen them.

"There won't always be teachers for you to hide behind. And when they aren't there you had better watch your back."

"Could you think of a lamer threat ferret breath?" Ginny said. "I think that it's you who had better be watching their back." Crabbe and Goyle cracked their knuckles.

"Oh do you really think so?" Ginny concentrated and a small bolt of electricity shot Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle back into the wall. The four friends laughed. "Aw, Malfoy, did you have a nice trip?"

"Fuck off Malfoy. Just leave us alone." Ron said, slamming the door shut. "What a prick. The day that he ever starts being nice to any of us, I will name him godfather to my first born son."

"Ronald! How could you do that? What if Hermione doesn't want him to be godfather?" Ginny said faking shock, making them both turn bright red.

"Actually, I think we should make that official. The day Malfoy is nice to any one of us four, Ron and Hermione's first born son will have Malfoy for a godfather." Harry said.

"Harry, you're such a git sometimes." Ron muttered. "How can a git as big as you become Head Boy?"

"Look at my dad." Harry replied, making them all laugh.

The door opened and Phoebe and Paige entered. "Do you mind if we come in here? Piper and Leo have fallen asleep with the kids." Phoebe said.

"Sure." Ginny moved Snowflake onto her lap so that Paige could sit down.

"So, why was there three boys lying on the floor outside a few minutes ago?" Paige asked.

"Oh that was only Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle. They're Slytherins and hate us, me especially. Malfoy's like their leader." Harry told her.

"He is a horrible person. He always finds an opportunity to call me a Mudblood." Hermione said.

"What's that?" Phoebe asked.

"Someone who is Muggleborn. Mudblood means dirty blood. Slytherins hates them because they think Hogwarts should only have people who have pure blood." Ron explained.

"That's cruel. What would it matter if someone was from a Wizarding family or a muggle one?" Paige said. 'But if that blonde one was a bit older and kinder.' She thought to herself, not wanting Ron to pick up on that thought. She looked at her watch. "When are we going to get to Hogwarts?"

Ron checked his watch. "Less than an hour."

Paige leant back in her seat and crossed her arms. "Orbing would have been much quicker."

"Paige, stop complaining. This was more fun anyway." Phoebe told her baby sister. Paige just pouted.

"We should get changed into our robes soon." Hermione said, checking her own watch, an early birthday present from her parents. "If we're arriving soon."

"Last time going to Hogwarts. Kinda sad, isn't it?" Harry said, looking out of the window.

"Yeah, but it's our last year. Then no more school." Ron said, grinning at the thought. The door opened again and Piper came in.

"Phoebe, Paige what are you doing in here?"

"Sorry Piper. You, Leo and the boys were sleeping and we didn't want to disturb you so we came in here."

"Well you can come back in now. We just got woken up by that old woman saying that we have 20 minutes til we get there."

"Looks like we all better get going. See you later." Phoebe and Paige left with Piper and the Kinetics changed into their Gryffindor robes. Sure enough, 20 minutes later they slowed into Hogsmeade station. They managed to get a carriage to themselves and within another 15 minutes they had arrived at Hogwarts.

In Hogwarts…

The Kinetic Charmed Ones all sat together, Harry and Ginny on one side and Ron and Hermione on the other, and saw that their new DADA teachers were already seated.

McGonagall led in the terrified first years, looking around the great hall in awe. The sorting ceremony happened, with resulted in 10 new Gryffindors and Slytherins, 11 Ravenclaws and 9 Hufflepuffs.

Dumbledore stood at the front and every student went silent.

"Welcome to another year at Hogwarts. I hope that many of you will feel much safer with the death of Voldemort. Before our banquet I would like to introduce our new Defence Against the Dark Arts teachers. Professors Matthews, Halliwell, Halliwell-Wyatt and Wyatt." Dumbledore pointed to each of them in turn. There were a few murmurs throughout the hall. "I realise that it is quite out of the ordinary to have more than one teacher, but I feel that each of these professors has a different quality that will benefit every student. I have one small announcement before we eat. As Voldemort is gone, 6th and 7th years will be allowed to visit Hogsmeade every Friday after lessons and weekends if they wish. 2nd years will be allowed to visit and 1st years can visit from December onwards." Cheers erupted throughout the hall. "Yes, quite exciting. Now let us enjoy this wondrous feast." As he said the last word, the tables were filled with food. The new professor's eyes nearly flew out of their eyes. They had never seen so much food appear at once. And they found it all delicious. Not as delicious as Piper's cooking, but nothing had ever come that close. When the feast had finished, the students had left, Dumbledore came over to talk to his new professors.

"I would like to invite you to join me in my office for a short while. It will just be to sort you, as you never came here when you were 11." They agreed and 20 minutes later, Leo and Phoebe became Gryffindors, Piper became a Hufflepuff and Paige became a Ravenclaw. They were then led to their quarters where house elves had been caring for the children. They stopped at a portrait of a woman who looked oddly familiar.

"Oh my God, is that Melinda Warren?" Phoebe blurted out. Melinda giggled.

"Yes my name is Melinda Warren. You need to give me a password which you use to get in."

"How about Triquetra?" Paige suggested. Piper, Phoebe and Leo agreed.

"You must use that every time you wish to enter." Melinda told them and her portrait swung open to reveal a room that seemed similar to the living room back at the Manor. There were five doors leading off which contained 4 bedrooms and a nursery for Wyatt and Chris. To the side of the common room, there was a circular stair case which led to a turret room which looked rather like their attic, 'without all of the junk' Paige put it. Three of the bedrooms were very similar to the bedrooms they had back at the Manor, the same went for the nursery. But the fourth room was a mystery.

"I wonder why Dumbledore gave us four bedrooms instead of three." Phoebe asked, sitting in front of the fire with Paige. Piper and Leo had turned in early.

"Maybe for when Wyatt gets a little bigger, we can give him that room."

"Yeah, but it's set out like an adult's. I swear I saw some of the things in there before." Phoebe thought about the room, then looked at the clock. "Oh my God, it's 1 in the morning. What time does breakfast start again?"

8 for 2 hours on weekends." Paige yawned. "I think I'm gonna go to bed now. I'll see you in the morning. Night."

"Good night." Phoebe watched Paige walk to her door and walk up the stone steps. Phoebe turned to look at the fourth door. There was something familiar about that room, but she couldn't put her finger on it. She yawned and decided to go to bed herself, excited about looking around the castle more.

Well, what do you think? I can take it come on, what do you honestly think? Just no flames please! Does everyone like their portrait? And who will occupy the fourth room? Or will it just stay empty? Hmm… Yay my longest chapter! May it be the first of many!
