Chapter Three

"So..." I didn't really know what to say about the sight before me.

A group of males in silver or red trimmed black clothing were currently gaping at me while their various trunks lay open with their belongings scattered on the ground. I blink once more before turning to a blushing Tracy. Tracy gave me a sheepish smile and said, "Oops..."

"Explain what just happened please?" I was beginning to get a headache and not only from waking up so early in the morning to get here.

She chuckled nervously and scratched the back of her head, "Well I kinda bumped into them while trying to pounce on you..."

I sighed and dragged a hand through my hair before turning to those looking at us. I offer them an apologetic smile, "I'm very sorry gentlemen about my friends actions. She gets rather excited," Tracy pouted at me, but didn't bother denying it, "Would you like me to fix up this mess?"

One of the men, a jester-like one, seemed to snap out of his surprised daze, "Sure that would be great."

I nodded and took out my wand before flicking my wrist with a murmur of, "Pack."

The various objects responded with ease to my controlled magic and floated into the various trunks. With a careful gaze, I easily made sure the luggage was correctly packed and wouldn't give the odd looking group any trouble. Once done, I turned to the men as Tracy said, "Sorry again you guys."

"Eh you wanted to see your friend," The jester-like guy waved off the apology with a shrug, "It happens sometimes,"

I took a moment to observe the group. Five members in total stood together though some of them had odd items with them. Three of them were rather unnoticeable, but two caught my eye. The first was the jester-like man. He had sharp facial features and wore some kind of makeup under his eyes that trail down his cheeks like tear-marks but end in sharp points. His clothing consisted of a long cloak worn over a pair of pants tucked into thigh high boots, and he seems to wear bandages as opposed to a shirt. The hood of his cloak is long and ends in a point with a metal object holding an odd bell. The other to catch my attention was rather tall. He had very sharp facial features, pointed ears and sharp fangs. He has short black hair with a long white streak which falls in front of his face. He wore the same type of outfit as the other though it was modified into a cloak. A deep feeling of longing and warmth filled me for some reason as I looked at the two. I pushed the feeling back after a few moments as Tracy asked, "Whatcha doin' here?" Her eyes narrowed in suspicion, "You are too old to be first years or in school at all, so what are you doing here?"

The man with the fangs spoke up, "We're here to guard the school this year."

Tracy snorted, "Yeah righ-"

"They speak the truth Tracy," I hum in realization as I looked at the group with slightly narrowed eyes, "Sirius told me that Dumbledore had gotten someone to watch over the castle like the Dementors in third year," Tracy gaped at me as I offered the group a small smile, "I do hope you can prove to be better guards. The last ones were rather..." I grimaced at the memory of those things, "Unpleasant,"

"Why the hell didn't anyone inform me about this?" Tracy demanded as she pointed at me, "And how do you know about it?"

I shrug in reply, "You're rather excitable and none of us wanted to deal with your attempts to question us," I smirk at the now fuming blonde, "Sirius informed me of the change just yesterday morning."

She opened her mouth to say something when Daphne appeared and grabbed Tracy by the arm, "Hi Frost. Let's go find a compartment."

Tracy immediately grabbed Daphne's bags as the icy blonde walked off. I shook my head in amusement as I watched the two go, "Those two," I turned and offered the group of five a smile, "If you'll excuse me, I must be going."

"Would you mind telling us your name first?" The jester-like male asked.

"Only if you do the same," At their nods, I smiled and bowed lightly, "My name is Frost Potter and this," I wave a hand to my side as Winter appeared much to the shock of those in front of me, "Is my familiar Winter,"

The man with the fangs shook himself, "My name is Arystar Krory."

"Daisya Barry," The jester-like man said.

The other three gave their names. Mark, Al, and Garret. I offered them all another smile even as the feelings in my chest welled up, "If you don't mind, I must go and help those two find a compartment."

"Of course," The one named Krory said, "We shouldn't keep you Ms. Potter,"

I shook my head, "Just call me Frost. I don't like formalities," I turned and Winter handed me my sketch book, "I hope you enjoy your time at the school gentlemen and do try to ignore the idiots that tend to crop up."

With that, I followed after Daphne and Tracy. The two found a suitable compartment in the back of the train which would allow all of us to fit inside without the aid of magic. I settled down next to the window and curled up with my sketch book. I barely looked up as the others entered the compartment. I only paused in my sketching when Hermione tapped me on the shoulder. I looked up at her in confusion causing her to sigh, "Are you alright Frost?"

"I'm fine," Was the immediate and well used answer causing the brunette to sigh, "I'm just really focused on drawing,"

"Ooh," Tracy said and was by my side in seconds, "Can I see?"

"No," I dismiss her immediately causing her to pout, "It's not done yet,"

"Please!" She gave me her puppy dog eyes to which I snorted.

"Nice try, but no," I turn my eyes back to my sketch, "Go bother Daphne,"

"So cold," Tracy whined causing me to sigh and hold out my book, "Yay!"

"Don't touch the lines," I warned her causing her to give me a mock salute, "The things I do to keep you guys happy,"

Snorts of laughter echo around me before Tracy began looking through my sketchbook. I leaned back against the seat watching her carefully. Hermione sat down across from me as Luna settled on the floor in front of me. I absentmindedly began to play with her hair as she did the same with Winter. Hermione spoke up as I busied myself with Luna's hair, "So what are we doing this year?" I gave her a look of confusion causing her to fidget slightly, "Dumbledore won't take well to the new you and Ronald will be an ass as always, so what are we going to do?"

I hummed softly in thought before shrugging, "Truthfully?" She nodded, "I dunno. Pranks are a definite, but we need to prepare for the road ahead of us."

"What do you mean?" Susan asked from her laid out position on Hannah's lap.

"Voldemort," I was pleased to see no flinches at the name, "Will be gathering his strength more so now then before. We must be careful about what we do this year, but we also need to prepare ourselves," I leveled the group with a hard look, "We need to get stronger with not just our magic, but also with our bodies. Magic is after all a part of us which means it can be affected by the state of our bodies,"

"So we need to get physically stronger?" Hannah asked causing me to nod, "How?"

"We start easy by running and stretching before working our way up," I answer with a small shrug, "I know I have most of you beat already due to the amount of running I've done,"

"Not to mention the things we did this summer," Hermione reminded me causing everyone to look between us.

"What do you mean?" I felt a small blush build on my cheeks as Hermione looked at me with amusement.

"She," She gestured to me, "Decided it would be fun to steal things in a big city. She ended up getting caught and had to lead the people chasing her on a wild goose chase,"

"Wait you're saying Frost is a thief?" Draco asked causing me to nod.

"Yup," I grin at them unabashedly, "And a damn good one,"

"Then why did you get caught?" Hermione asked with a raised eyebrow.

I shrugged lightly, "Out of practice at the time."

"Wait why the hell are you a thief?" Blaise demanded causing me to look at him with a raised eyebrow.

"You do realize that was how I got most of my food and was able to get my cousin to actually protect me, right?" I asked causing him to shake his head, "Well that's how it was back then and it's a habit of mine to do so though I usually control the urge around you guys, but," I smirk at them, "Once a thief, always a thief,"

Snorts echoed around me before Hannah asked, "Why didn't you tell us about this earlier?"

"It never came up," I answer with a small shrug, "I never really thought it was important,"

"Just how good are you-" Before Draco finished that question, I tossed him a bag, "Is this my-"

"Money pouch?" I asked innocently causing him to nod, "Yup!"

"How?" He demanded, "And when?"

"It was easy since you had it hanging on your belt and I've been at it for years," I shrug as I answered the first question, "As for the when, I grabbed it when you walked inside,"

"Damn," He cursed lightly, "You're good,"

"I had to be back then," I leaned back into my seat, "It's merely getting back into the swing of things,"

Hermione was about to comment on that when Tracy asked, "Frost?" I hummed in reply, "What's this?"

I frowned as she stood up and handed me the sketch book. My breath caught in my throat at the sight of the city drawn on the page. The white stone city seemed like it was about to jump off the page. Longing filled me as I gazed down at the drawing as well as a deep pain. Whispers echoed in my mind as I stared down at the drawing only to look up when Hermione asked, "Frost?"

I shook my head lightly and pushed the feelings down, "Sorry about that Tracy. What was the question?"

She looked at me in concern and answered, "I asked you what that was."

I hummed softly and looked back down at it, "It's a city..."

Tracy rolled her eyes, "I know it's a city, but where?"

I frowned and shrugged, "I don't know."

"Then how did you draw it?" She pressed causing me to sigh.

"I saw it in a dream, liked what I saw, and drew it the next day," I looked at Tracy with a raised eyebrow, "Why do you care?"

"It looks like the kind of place I would love to live in ya know," She said causing me to hum in agreement, "Thanks for showing me your drawings,"

"No problem," With that said, I returned to my sketches.

With the Exorcist's

"Damn do you think it was her?" Daisya asked as the group sat down.

"There is a chance, but it might not be," Krory sighed slightly, "She didn't seem to recognize either of us,"

"Yeah, but maybe she hasn't awakened yet?" Daisya suggested, "It would explain why she didn't recognize. The fact she has a snow leopard named Winter that can appear out of the shadows says as much,"

"But he didn't seem to recognize us either," Krory pointed out, "Even if she wasn't awakened yet, shouldn't Winter still know us?"

"I don't think so," Daisya frowned, "Maybe familiar's have a diffrent set of rules they have to follow. Maybe he doesn't know us because he has to go through an awakening as well,"

"He didn't seem to be wearing the necklace with his innocence on it," Krory realized, "Perhaps you're right,"

"What are you two talking about?" One of the three other Exorcist's in the compartment asked.

"The girl we met," Another one concluded, "But why?"

"She looks, sounds, and to a point acts like Polarise did before," Daisya said causing the trio to look between themselves.

"You mean that girl everyone's looking for?" The first one asked causing Daisya and Krory to nod, "So...What are you two going to do?"

"It would be best to watch for now," The last member of the group answered causing the others to look at him, "We do not know if it is her. It would be best to watch her carefully during our time here and only inform the others when we have evidence of her being Polarise Walker,"

Krory nodded as Daisya began to protest, "We need to-"

"Daisya," Krory cut him off causing the jester-like male to look at the vampire-like male in shock, "We all miss Polarise, but we know nothing of this girl. We do not know how she would react to everyone suddenly appearing. She may look, act, and sound like Polarise, but she isn't her,"

"But what if she-" Daisya began only to stop as Krory held up a hand.

"She may awaken and be our Polaris, but there is a chance she's just a normal girl," Krory looked at Daisya with an uncharacteristically stern gaze, "We need to watch her closely, but do not involve the others. It's best not to get their hopes up,"

Daisya cursed under his breath and looked away from Krory, "Fine, but if it blows up in our faces, it will be your faults."

With Frost, End of feast

I looked around the hall as I finished my dinner and smiled as I caught each of my friends eyes. Hermione looked at me and asked, "Are you going to do something at the end?"

I give her a deadpan stare as I say, "As if I would let such a travesty occur and let it be called music."

She snorted, "Dramatic."

"When it comes to music, gladly," I turned towards the front, "Looks like they're about to start,"

Just as the words left my mouth, the food disappeared and Dumbledore stood, "Now that we're all fed and watered."

"We're not horses old man!" Someone shouted causing snickers to erupt.

Dumbledore coughed lightly, "Now first and foremost, to all students please note that the forbidden forest is just as the name implies," He looked over at me and I flash him a grin as the twins snicker, "The list of banned items has once more expanded while adding skiving snack boxes to the list."

"No fair!" The twins whined causing me to snort.

"There is to be no magic in the corridors," Snorts of laughter echoed around the room since that was usually the most broken rule, "Now it is my pleasure to introduce both our new defense and Potions teachers,"

"Snape got sacked?!" Someone from down the table shouted.

"No he's sitting at the table idiot!" Someone else shouted.

"Ah yes," Dumbledore's voice sounded slightly strained, "Professor Snape has agreed to be the newest defense against the dark arts teacher," Booing sounded across the room as Hermione and I looked at each other, "This year, taking the post of potions professor, Horace Slughorn has graciously agreed to return for one last year at Hogwarts," Dumbledore then smiled brightly, "I know that you all have fears this coming year with the news of the Dark Lord coming back," Scared whispers exploded around me while many looked at me, "I have decided to use an old favor that I've been holding for a long time to offer the school another protection,"

"No Dementors!" Someone shouted.

"Worry not my dear students!" Dumbledore said above the noise, "The ministry is not involved in this. Now," He smiled at the suddenly silent hall, "Help me in welcoming our guests for the year!" The doors swung open and the five from earlier walked in, "Welcome all five of you!"

The five from earlier walked inside causing gasps to echo through the hall. Apparently, the clothing they wore and the items some of them bore were rather unusual, but I saw nothing wrong with this. The group made their way swiftly down the length of the great hall before coming to a stop in front of Dumbledore. The fanged man, Arystar Krory spoke, "Allow us to introduce ourselves."

"Of course," Dumbledore agreed.

The group turned to face the student body and the jester-like man, Daisya Barry, grinned, "Hi everyone. The names Daisya Barry. We're going to be looking after you this year."

"I'm Arystar Krory," The fanged man continued with a small bow, "It's a pleasure to meet you all,"

"I am Mark," One of the others introduced himself.

"Al," The next one introduced himself.

"Garret!" The middle one exclaimed.

"Alright now that our guests of the year have been introduced," Dumbledore said with a grandfatherly smile that made me want to puke, "Let's grace the halls once more with the school song-"

Before he could finish that sentence, rain began to cover the hall. Shouts of shock and dismay echoed through the hall as thunder boomed. We were soon all sent to our common rooms and Hermione grabbed my arm as we left the watery great hall. Her eyes glowed brightly in the dim light of the corridors as she growled, "What the hell was that?"

"I decided that rain would be a nice touch," I answer with a smile, "What? Don't want to be wet Kitty?"

Hermione glared at me and hissed, "It's not funny!"

I rolled my eyes at her behavior, "Be at peace Hermione. The water will go away in a few minutes."

"How the hell did you do that?" Ginny asked as she caught up with us.

"Yeah-" Fred said as he popped up next to Hermione.

"How did-" George continued as he appeared next to Ginny.

"Do cause-" Fred continued as he linked arms with Hermione.

George linked arms with Hermione as he said, "It to-"

"Rain inside?" The twins concluded.

I giggle slightly at the twin speak before answering, "A time delayed spell interlocked with a password that I hit the ceiling with the moment we entered the great hall while everyone was getting to their seats."

"How did you create that?" Ginny asked causing me to smile lightly.

"Trial and error as usual," I answer with a small shrug, "It's easy once you get the two seperate parts to work. It just takes figuring out how to chain them together without causing one or the other to fizzle out,"

"You're a genius," Ginny said causing me to blush and shake my head.

"Nah. It's just what I do," My cheeks were scarlet at the praise, "It's actually pretty easy if you think about it,"

Ginny snorted and wrapped her arms around my shoulders, "Yeah right! You're the best when it comes to making things. Hell you have the biggest imagination in the group besides Luna."

I shook my head, "No I'm not. Neville's a lot better with creating hybrid plants."

"But you're the best at figuring out how to use those plants to our advantage," Ginny pressed causing me to shake my head.

"No I just give you ideas while letting you guys figure it all out," I argue further, "Susan's the best at creating defensive stuff,"

"You're amazing at creating Potions and salves," She pointed out causing me to shake my head.

"The potions and salves would just sit there if it weren't for Hannah using them," I point out, "Hannah's the best healer here and you know that. My potions would go to waste without her expertise,"

Ginny sighed in exasperation, "You really don't think you're a genius do you?"

"Nope," I smile at her in reply before smiling at the blonde walking up next to me, "You staying with us?"

"Professor Flitwick has agreed and already sent my things to the den," The fairy-like blonde answered.

"Good," I hugged the blonde fiercely, "I would've had to do something if he hadn't,"

Luna giggled and hugged me back before we continued on our way. Hermione and the others shook their heads, but didn't bother commenting since it usually happened sometime during the year. I always somehow got Flitwick and McGonagall to agree to it, but this year Sirius did got it done without my involvement. If there was one thing you could say about the dog-like man, it was that he got things done in the end if they involved me and my happiness. I may not want to accept the help, but when it came to my friends, I would do anything.

A few hours later

I stared out the window as the stars slowly unfolded in the sky. It was a favorite past-time of mine to watch the stars as they cradled the rising moon like a mother cradles her child. The bluish-gold glow of the stars mixed well with the yellowish white of the moon. A deep rumbling pur alerted me to my familiar's presence as he appeared. I reached out and run a hand over his back as he moved to sit next to me. Together, we stared at the sky as we always did. No words were said as we looked at the sky for none were needed. It came after our years of companionship, but seemed to go past it more often then not. Unknowingly, we would react to things before the other even formed a thought about it. It had always bothered me, but also comforted me as the years blurred together. He leaned against me as I sat on the window seat that sat in the common room. It was only as the fire slowly diminished that I made my way up the stairs towards my dorm room. I changed into my nightclothes and slip into my bed. Winter curled up at my side and I fell asleep...

Dream/Memory

"I can smell it you know," I say as I stared at the moonlit sky.

"Smell what?" My companion's voice echoed softly in the night.

"The seasons are changing," I answer softly, "Summer is giving way to Autumn and soon Winter shall bathe the land in it's glory,"

A chuckle from my companion had me glancing towards them. The man that had stood with the older version of me in the mirror smiled slightly in amusement. He looked paler and had brown eyes instead of gold, but it fit him. He wore slightly ragged clothes and had a pair of swirly glasses on his face. He shook his head as he asked curiously, "Where did you learn to do that?"

"Growing up on the streets," I answered softly, "It was something that one needed to learn because it was always harder in the winter," I leaned forward against a rather thin looking railing, "I learned it to help my little brother and I survive before we even met Mana,"

"Another odd trait," He commented causing me to shake my head, "You seem tense,"

"I suppose anyone would be if they were on the run," I replied softly, "Not all of us can have two diffrent lives Tyki,"

"And what exactly makes you think I'm lucky?" He asked both in amusement and curiosity.

"You can become friends with anyone you want while I have to stick with being alone most of the time," I answer with a small sigh, "You have a place you can return to while I have to continually move around with no hope of finding an actual home,"

His eyes seemed to sharpen at that, "You could have one..."

"But then I would have to pick a side," I murmur sullenly, "I don't want to pick a side because it hurts those I love either way," I sighed softly and looked at the sky, "I'm tired of running Tyki, but I...I have to keep on walking," A bittersweet smile appeared on my lips, "Just like Mana said. I have to keep on walking even if it hurts...Even if I want to give up,"

I didn't even have a second to register his movements before he wrapped me up in his arms. I cuddled against his chest and smelt the scent of him. Cigarette smoke, coal, sweat, aftershave, and ash tree. He held me close and murmured, "Tonight you can...I'll protect you."

My body slowly relaxed against his and soon he was sitting with me in his lap. I listened to his heart beat as he gently carded a hand through my hair. I slowly drifted off to sleep even as I murmured, "Thank you Tyki..."

I barely heard his reply as I slowly lost myself in the sweet darkness of sleep, "Anything for you...Meu Inverno(1)..."

With Tyki

Tyki stared at the sky and shuddered slightly as a soft breeze ran through the room. It felt as if she was sitting right next to him, yet when he looked she wasn't. His fingers clenched around a necklace as he stared at the stars. The necklace was of a sapphire butterfly with a fox curled under it made of amethyst. His mind went back to the words she had said when she gave it to him, "No matter what you do, keep this with you," She had smiled at him with that fox-like smile of hers, "If you have that, you'll always have me by your side," She had held up a second one only with the animals made in reverse, "I have it's twin, so the same could be said for me," She had looked at him with those damnable puppy dog eyes, "Please?"

He had quickly fallen prey to those mismatched eyes of hers and agreed. Ever since then, he had always carried the necklace with him. Ever since her death, he had the twin. He carried both in hopes that one day he could give her back hers, but as the years passed it seemed as if he wouldn't be able to. Yet, her words echoed in his mind; the words she had spoke during one of the nights they had spent together, "I can feel it in the air..."

Tyki closed his eyes and held the necklace in his hand close, "Soon Meu Inverno...Soon..."
