A/N: Yes, yes I know, I said I'd update sooner, and I didn't and it was wrong and I was so sad that I hadn't updated, I actually planned this chapter all out in my head, but could never get around to typing it down, what with all the homework and stuff, seriously, I had like, four exams in the same day, and I spazz out if I don't do my homework or study, and so yeah, I just couldn't update, and I really bad about it. And now, without further ado, I'm going to let you read this chapter, as it doesn't do well to dwell on something I cannot change…
Ps, in case you were wondering, yes all my studying paid off and I got an A in history... Though I don't know about the others.
PPS: I don't really know what date it is in the story, I kind of forgot, so let's pretend the last chapter was August 26 and that this chapter starts in September 1st, okay? Okay, good.
~*~ Don't mind me, I'm just a page break!~*~
Chapter cuatro: An interesting train ride
Nariian POV:
Five days later the singing hat died so we never went to Hogwarts and this story never happened. The end. Love you, Debb!
Deb POV:
No, that's not really what happened. Five days later, we were actually getting on the train in kings cross station, on our way to Hogwarts.
"It's finally happening!" I exclaimed
"This is so cool!" Flaff beamed
"Ermmm, Deb, will you lend me your DSi?" Asked Nariian
"When we find a compartment" I tell her, pushing through crowds of people.
It was 11:05 AM on the first of September and the Hogwarts express was full of students from different years and houses. Students stared at us as we walked pass, wondering what the hell we were doing, as they had never seen us before, but we ignored them, hauling our luggage behind us.
Finally, we made it to an empty compartment, just as the train started gaining speed. We put our luggage in the upper racks, and sat down for the long train ride.
"Debb! Gimme your DS!"Nariian whined, as she was currently entranced by the new video game she bought, Chrono Trigger.
"Fine, here" I said, handing the DS to her.
"Thank you" She said, in a cute, innocent voice, and started playing, leaving the rest of the world behind as she obsessed over Janus and battled Lavos with anguish.
"Well, we lost her" I said, looking for one of my books inside my purse. I looked over to Flaff, but she had fallen asleep, as she hadn't been able to sleep last night due to the nerves.
"Looks like it's just me now" I say to myself. I open my book and start to read.
Ten minutes later, the compartment door opens and a boy with round glasses, black hair, and green, emerald colored eyes sticks his head inside.
"Mind if we join you?" He asks "All the other compartments are full, and it's just three of us"
"Sure" I say, gain for making as many friends as possible. He smiles gratefully at me, and comes in, followed by a tall, redheaded, freckled boy, and a shorter, bushy haired brunette.
"I'm Harry Potter, by the way. I don't recall ever seeing you before, or your friends for that matter" he introduces himself.
"Oh, we're new" I answer "Dumbledore, the Headmaster, asked us to come. We'll be in our fifth year" I tell him.
"Oh, well then, welcome." He says
"Yeah, I'm Hermione, nice to meet you" Says the brunette
"'Lo" Says the other one, and sits down
"He's Ronald" says Hermione "Rather rude, this one" she informs me, and then she laughs. "He's got the emotional range of a teaspoon, just though I'd let you know, for future reference, you know. Oh! Is that a book you're reading?" She sits next to me and looks at the title.
"yeah" I answer "It's called Uglies, very good book"
"Oh! I love that book! I've read the entire series, it's wonderful!" She says, sounding very much excited.
"Hermione here has a great passion for books" Harry informs me, smiling.
"That I do" She says, smiling proudly.
"Oh, I do too, I don't think I could live without books, really." I answer honestly
"Oh, wonderful" Ron mutters, sounding the slightest bit annoyed.
"Oh Ron, why don't you and Harry go play exploding snap or something, honestly, your foul mood has been getting on my nerves all morning." Hermione tells him, and Ron, begrudgingly, obliges.
"Yeah! I Killed Lavos!" Nariian exclaims loudly, looking up from the Ds for the first time in the last fifteen minutes that the trio had been here. She smiled a grin of victory at me, and then looked around "Who are you people?" She asked to the room in general.
"Oh, Nariian, these are Hermione, Ron, and Harry" I said, indicating to each of them as I said their names "Harry, Hermione, Ron, this is Nariian, one of my best friends." I tell them
"What's that you're holding?" Ron asks her, pointing at the DS. Nariian Gasps and goes into a very detailed explanation about what a DS is and why it should be cherished and honored, as well as an even more detailed explanation about the game she was playing, Chrono Trigger, and why it was the best Role-Playing game in the history of games she had ever played.
And well, that's how the train ride went for the next hour. Me and Hermione discussing books and such and Nariian explaining in intricate details all the joys of the DS world.
~It's a page-break, a page-break, everybody cheer for the page break!~
About an hour later, Flaff slowly came to. She opened her eyes and looked around.
"Who are these people?" She said, gesturing to harry, Hermione and Ron.
"Hermione, Ron, and Harry" I said. She nodded, said hi, and went back to sleep.
Five minutes later, Hermione and Ron had to go do something or other, and they left the compartment. Nariian went back to her game, and Flaff kept on sleeping. Harry sat in the seat in front of me, and we talked and got to know each other.
"So, um, Flaff, what's she like?" Asked Harry, as she was the only one he actually didn't know anything about.
"Oh, Flaff is awesome" I said "She's like, this totally unique being from outer space" I said, in all seriousness.
Harry looked at me incredulously.
"You can't actually be serious" He said.
"Oh, but I am" I said. Harry gaped.
"Not really, I was joking" I tell him, astounded that he had actually believed that.
"Um, I knew that" he says
"Sure you did" I say
"Anyways, what's she like?" He asks again
"Oh, she's awesome. She's really unique, and though sometimes can get very annoying and irritating, I'm glad she's my friend, and I'd stick by her no matter what, because at the end of the day, we're always there for each other. Same with Nariian" I tell him
"That's a strong bond you three have" he tells me
"Did someone mention my name?" Nariian asks
"No, we were just getting to know each other." I tell her "Will you put down the DS? You've been at that for hours, don't you want to take part in our conversation?"
"No." She says
"Fine, suit yourself" I tell her
"I will" She says. Harry chuckles and just then, the compartment door opens up again, and in comes another redheaded boy, this one a bit taller than Ron, and handsomer too.
"Harry! There you are! Have you seen Ronald?"
"No, he left with Hermione a while ago" Harry answered
"Oh, okay. They're probably getting up to dirty things those two" Says the boy. He looks around the compartment, and notices the other three people.
"Who're you?" He asks
"Oh, this is Debbo, that's Flaff, and that's Nariian" Harry introduces us "Nariian, this is Fred, Ron's brother" he tells me, as the others were out of it.
"Oh, well, nice to meet you, Fred" I say
"You too" He says and shakes my hand
"You guys mind it I stay here?" He asks
"What 'bout George?" Harry asks
"Oh, he's off with Katie"
"Oh"
"Yeah"
"So, guys what kind of wizards are you?" I asked
"Pureblood" Fred said, kind of in a sheepish manner
"Half-Blood" Harry answered
"What about you?" Fred said, coming over to sit next to me
"Oh, umm, I'm, well, We're not really wizards." I said
"What?" Fred and Harry exclaimed
"I'm not a wizard" I told them "Dumbledore sent us a message to tell us that we had a lot of knowledge about the wizarding world, and that even though we weren't wizards, he needed our help" I shrugged
"Oh, well, okay then" Fred sais, still sounding doubtful
"Yeah"
"What about wizards?" Nariian asked from behind the game screen
"Oh! Shut that thing off, and join in our conversation, will you?" I say to her
"No!" she says, loudly
"Yes!" I say
"No!" she says
"Give it to me!" I tell her
"No! I just started a new ending!"
"I don't care, give it here!"
"No!"
"It's sucking your brain out"
"No, it's not!" She says
"Yes, now give it!" I say, trying to yank it from her grasp
"Noo!"
"Yes!"
"No! I'm in the middle of the game!"
"Again, I don't care!"
"Stop screaming, you retards, I'm sleeping" Flaff says
"Give me the fucking DS!" I scream
"NO!"
"Yes!" I say, and take it out of her grasp, breaking her grip on it, and closing the little screen
"Noo! You bitch! You just ruined y game!" She cries
"So now I'm a bitch?"
"Yes." She says, giving up and sitting down
"okay" I answer
"I hate you" She says
"Love you too" I answer
"Well, that was interesting" Fred says, amused while Harry just laughs at out argument
"Shut it, Harry" Nariian says
"What's a DS anyways?" asks Fred.
Nariian groans, and goes into explaining it once again.
~Guess what? Another page break! Hooray! ~
An hour and a half later, Flaff woke up for good, and we all went to change, as we were going to be arriving soon. Then we went back to the compartment, and talked with Fred and Harry a bit more, until Fred's sister, Ginny came by, and said hi. We introduced ourselves, and she stayed until we got to the school. Ron and Hermione never did get back to the compartment.
As we got to the Hogsmead station, we all left the train and hopped into a carriage, where we found Ron and Hermione, their robes slightly messier than the last time I had seen them.
"Hey guys" they greeted us
"Hey" we answered and the carriage started its trip to the castle.
When we got to the grounds, the others led us up to the gate, as we didn't know our way around. In the entrance hall, an older looking witch stood, dressed clad in dark green dress robes.
"Ah, Potter, Granger, Weasley's" She greeted them and then looked at us
"And you must be miss Debby, Flavia and Nariian, is that correct?" She asks us, we nod.
"Yes well, come with me, you will get sorted with the first years" she said, then turned around and started making her way through the crowd of students crowding the entrance hall on the way to the great hall.
We silently followed.
When we got to the Great Hall, there was a bunch of younger students waiting, looking anxious. McGonagall, as she had introduced herself about a minute before, told us to wait with them, and went into the Hall.
After ten minutes, the entrance was cleared out and everyone was seated in house tables, and McGonagall told us to come inside.
We all filed to the end of the hall, where a stool sat with a battered looking hat on top of it.
Suddenly, the hat burst into song.
"Together we stand, separated we fall
Through good times or bad time, we'll always prevail
With Gryffindor courage, or Ravenclaw smarts
Hufflepuff loyalty or Slytherin ego
We'll do it together one way or another for we are the students that will shape up the future!"
(A/N Right, let's pretend that didn't suck, and move on with the story)
When the hat finished singing, McGonagall spoke
"Now, I will call your names, and as your name is called on, you will come up, sit on the stool, and put the hat on, understood? Okay"
And so, the sorting began. Different students were called upon. Some Mary went to Hufflepuff, and some Andrew went to Ravenclaw, but I wasn't really paying much attention. Untill, of course, Nariian name was called.
"Mareen, Nariian" Says McGonagall
Nariian walked onstage, and put the hat on. A minute later, the hat screamed out, Hufflepuff! The hall cheered, me and Flaff the loudest by far. Some other people were sorted. Then it was my turn.
"Poffeaux, Debby"
I went up to the hat.
"Gryffindor!" It screamed, and the whole Gryffindor table cheered, along with the others, though not as loud.
I went and took a seat across from Fred, and, who I assumed to be George, as they looked practically the same.
"Congratulations" Hermione said, hugging me.
"Thank you" I told her
"Yeah, congrats, Debb" Said Harry, and some other people nodded.
I heard Flavias name being called, and I cheered loudly as she was sorted into Slytherin.
After the rest of the students were sorted, Dumbledore made some announcements, and then the food appeared and so we ate, all happy to finally be here after the long journey.
A/N: Hey, guys, hope you liked that chapter. Just an fyi, Hermione and Ron are dating in this story , and it does not follow the original plotline all the way. For example, even though they're in firth year, ron and Hermione will be prefects, and some other things will change, though for the most part, it will stay the same. Well, yeah. Please review, it makes my day and encourages me to update!
Lots of love,
Choco Lover Pink.
Ps, I really have to change my username, don't you think?
