Chapter Eight: First Breakfast at Hogwarts.

When Harry, Ron and Hermione entered the Great Hall for breakfast the next day, the first thing they saw was Draco Malfoy and a large group of Slytherins talking about 'Two of the brave Gryffindor's fainting on the train yesterday.' There was a roar of laughter from the group when they walked past.

Harry dropped into a seat at the Gryffindor table, next to George Weasley.

"New third-year timetables," said George, passing them over. "What's up with you, Harry?"

"Malfoy," said Ron, sitting down on George's other side and glaring over at the Slytherin table. George looked up in time to see Malfoy pretending to faint in terror.

"That little git" he said calmly. "He wasn't so cocky last night when the Dementors were down our end of the train. Come running into our compartment, didn't he Fred?"

"Nearly wet himself," said Fred, with contemptuous glance at Malfoy.

"I wasn't too happy myself" said George. "They're horrible thing, those Dementors –"

"FROSTBIE"

Everyone looked to the door to the hall as a running and laughing Jack Frost ran through with his older brother Aster Bunnymund hot on his heels, covered in white paint and glitter, making him look like he was covered in snow.

"Get your skinny ar…" Like he just noticed where he was, he changed what he was going to say. "self, back here."

"You got to catch me first Bunny." Jack yelled back edging Aster on to chasse him, not caring that they we're being watched and Aster let his competitive side take over forgetting the others were there, he was just trying to catch the Winter Spirit. In short; they were just being Jack Frost and E. Aster Bunnymund.

Sandy was following them shaking his head in amusement, those two where always like this in the mornings; Jack pranking Aster when he was still partly asleep.

Jack used his staff to push himself up and over the Gryffindor table like pole vault. Aster took in no thought as he jumped over the table in one jump.

"Okay that was pretty impressive" said Ron.

They were heading to the Slytherin table at a full run. Jack stepped up on to one of the bench seats and pushed himself backwards with one leg off the table edge. Using the momentum he back flipped over Aster's head with a crackle of laughter. Malfoy's, Ron's Hermione's the Weasley Twin's also Oliver Wood the Caption of Gryffindor's Quidditch team –just to name a few –mouth was open in shock.

"Bunnymund, Frost." called out Professor McGonagall. She had seen seeing the flip when she walked through the door way with North and Ana. "What is the meaning of this?"

Jack who was just landed rubbed the back of his head and Aster put a hand though his hair.

"Um… I got caught pulling a prank." said Jack, looking more at North and Ana, than Professor McGonagall. Fred and George looked up with interest.

"Yer he always tries to catch me off guard, we always do this… um sorry" added Aster.

"Yes. They have made a mess of my workshop more than one occasion." said North shaking his head in amusement without knowing he copying what Sandy had done only moments ago.

Professor McGonagall sighed. "Five points from both of you, if you were to chases each other please not in The Great Hall."

"Yes Ma'am" Aster and Jack said together. Ana pointed her wand at Aster and the paint and glitter floated off him and disappeared.

"Aw. I wanted him to look like a Snowman." Said Jack with fake disappointment. Aster hit him over the back of his head. Ana rolled her eyes at the boys and followed North to the High Table.

"See ya later Frostbite" said Aster heading to the Hufflepuff table.

"Yer see ya, Bunny" Jack said with a sigh.

"Jack!" yelled out Fred. "Come and sit with us."

Jack looked over surprised, but shrugged and walked over and sat next to Fred.

"Hey Jack, what did your brother mean that 'you always did that'?" asked George.

"What the chase or pranks?"

"Both" said Fred.

"I love to pull pranks, Bunny in my favourite target, when I do he chases me down. Mornings are always the best because he's still partly asleep and doesn't always catch me."

"Why do you call him Bunny, and why did he say his name is Aster?" Hermione asked.

"BUNNYmund there is also an inside joke into why I call him that, and his middle name is Aster. He doesn't like others calling him Emerson, reminds him too much of his past life." said Jack reaching for the hash-browns and a bowl of cereal.

"Oh… um here's your timetable." Hermione gave him his timetable feeling ashamed for asking. Jack just nodded his thanks as he mouth was now full.

"Did you see Malfoy's face when you did that backflip off their table? I think the only other time I have seen that face on him was last year's Quidditch match. When Harry got the snitch."

Harry smiled at the memory. The only time Harry and Malfoy had faced each other in a Quiddich match, Malfoy had definitely come off worse. Feeling better than he was before Aster chassed Jack though the Hall, Harry helped himself to sausage and fried tomatoes.

Hermione was examining her new timetable.

"Ooh, good, we're staring some new subjects today." She said happily.

"Hermione." Ron said, frowning as he looked over her shoulder, "they've messed up your timetable. Look –they've got you down for about ten subjects a day. There isn't enough time."

"I'll manage. I've fixed it all with Professor McGonagall."

"But look" said Ron, laughing, "see this morning? Nine o'clock Divination. And underneath, nine o'clock Muggle Studies. And –" Ron leant closer to the timetable, disbelieving, 'look – underneath that, Arithmancy, nine o'clock. I know you're good Hermione but no one's that good."

'I can count two, Bunny and North; presents in one night or eggs in one day to every child good or bad.' Jack thought looking up from his breakfast to watch Ron and Hermione.

"How're you supposed to be in three classes at once?" Ron finished.

"Don't be silly." Said Hermione shortly. "Of course I won't be in three classes at once."

"Well, then –"

"Pass the marmalade," Said Hermione.

"But –"

"Oh, Ron, what's it to you if my timetable's a bit full?" Hermione snapped. "I told you, I've fixed it all with Professor McGonagall."

Just then, Hagrid entered the Great Hall. He was wearing his long moleskin overcoat and was absent-mindedly swinging a dead polecat from one enormous hand.

"All righ'?" He said eagerly, pausing on the way to the staff table. "yer in my firs' ever lesson! Right after lunch! Bin up since five getting' everthin' ready… hope it's OK… me, a teacher … hones'ly…"

He grinned broadly at them and headed off the staff table, still swinging the polecat.

"Wonder what he's been getting ready?" said Ron, a note of anxiety in his voice.

The hall was starting to empty as people headed off towards their first lesson. Ron checked his timetable. "We'd better go, look, Divination's at the top of the North Tower. It'll take us ten minutes to get there…"

"Well I'll see you in Transfiguration Class. I have Muggle Studies." said Jack.

Ron, Harry and Hermione finished their breakfast hastily, said goodbye to Fred, George and Jack and walked back though the Hall. As they passed the Slytherin table, Malfoy did yet another impression of a fainting fit.

The laughter was cut off with a yelp and thud when Harry made it into the Entrance Hall.
