Ugh-I'm sick-bad news I feel like crud and I have writers block for a good amount of my stories-Good news Not this one, so I'm here with a headache and floppy stomach to write for you-be grateful. Btw-sorry about the sorting I did the one's I remembered and spent two days trying to find and sort all of the extreme minor ones, notice all of them have 7-I counted thrice
"Rene saw it-she saw us being separated and friends leaving me-I can't deal with that again, so to make sure they don't separate us and make sure I don't get friends I'll...I've got it-We'll only speak in Japanese." The girl beamed with the birth of her 'brilliant' stress-induced plan.
"Cousin-you're being dramatic-AGAIN-Rene hates you why would she give us advice, she's most likely trying to freak you out...like she's doing" The young boy told the girl sitting opposite him.
"I'm not-now stop talking like that, for all we know there is somebody trying to find us-even looking in on this very win-" She suddenly jumped up and reached to where the blinds should be...of course being on a train there was nothing there. "They did this on purpose-whoever thought of a train with no blinds!!" the boy sighed before looking out the window that his cousin was having a stroke over.
"Look-hundreds of children-all rushing to find there friends, nobody's worried about us we-"
"What about in our room-what if there are no blinds there, what if we get...DOORMMATES, did you think of that huh?
"Calm down I put your curtains in your bag"
"Clothes?"
"I grabbed a bunch of stuff out of your closet"
"Moron-luckily I brought my closet." She sniffed
"Well sorry I wasn't born a girl!"
"Apology-Not, excepted"
"Well at least you can't hurt me in front of the window"
"You said yourself nobody cares"
"They'll care when I don't show up"
"Don't tempt me" She whispered. She looked both ways as if trying to distinguish if anyone was there when a knock brought her out of it. She turned around slowly while her cousin (to save his own skin) unlocked and opened the door for the blonde boy.
"Hello-is this compartment empty-I can't seam to find my friends so I figured I'd wait for them here." The boy said-his story smoothing over his real intentions-he had heard that the Kijutsu and Tsukuribanashi University had basically no communication with muggles. The girl said nothing-she was glaring at the boy's hair like it was the source of all evil.
"Enter at your own risk-she's not that great with blondes" Her cousin said happily as he steered the new arrival in between him and the girl. This boy had white-blonde hair, a 'winning' smile, and sleek, expensive looking robes-the type that had money and liked to flaunt it.
"My name's Draco-may I ask yours?" The boy opened his mouth to be stopped by another knock, this time three children were at the door-thankfully no more blondes. Her cousin rushed up again
"Just in time new friends-we were just doing introductions." He chirped as he led the three in-sitting himself on the side with the two boys and leaving his cousin to fend for herself with the blonde boy and brunette girl. She glared at him as if saying 'GET THEM OUT NOW'. He did nothing. "So I already met Draco-what are your names?" the boy asked chirpily sitting diagonally from his cousin.
"Harry" Said the boy sitting next to him-dark hair sticking up in plenty directions, large owl-like glasses, a strange scar on his forehead, and worn ratty clothes. He felt bad for the kid if he was in the same dorm as him and his cousin because she was looking in between him and the girl like the cat trying to figure out how to catch the bird.
"Yours?" he asked to the girl
"Hermione Granger" said the girl with incredibly frizzy brown hair and ruffled robes. 'She and Draco must not like each other' He mused looking at the way they tried to subtly get away from each other.
"I'm Ron" The red headed boy said almost as if he thought they had forgotten him. "And what are you lovely young ladies names?" Ron said-attempting to most likely upstage Draco's rich attitude and failing miserably. The girl dropped onto the floor clutching her sides and laughing uncontrollably.
"Yes Alexandrawhat's your name?" The boy blushed crimson red
"She did that" He explained calmly "I'm not mad most people have a hard time telling because of her-I'm not sure how she did it, but I haven't had a haircut since I was eight and my voice never hit puberty." He sighed running his fingers threw his long, wavy, black, feminine hair. "Well aren't you going to speak, or are you just going to lay there having fun at my expense?" He asked his cousin. She pulled herself up –strangely her neither her long ponytail nor her slightly spikeish bangs had been hurt by her rolling on the ground.
"Introduce me Alexandra." The boy rolled his eyes as she sent herself into another round of laughter.
"My name's Alex, the queen of cracking up over there is Suzette." Alex explained-now blushing scarlet. Suzette got up long enough to extend her hand for them all to shake before re-resting on the seat.
"Brittan's much more enjoyable since the last time I came here-I might actually start speaking English for these people" Suzette laughed as she spoke
"You should-honestly you never make any friends and you always wonder why-It's because
"Because nobody will ever like me? Because I'm a freak? Because I'm not as wonderful, stupid, or pretty as that blissfully blonde NIGHTMARE-yes I know. I'm not her-DON'T CRITTICISE ME FOR IT!!" Suzette screamed at her poor cousin-whom was by now physically shielding himself. "Besides-I hate my English voice...it makes me sound gruff-it's bad enough I'm an alto. Then of course it's the extra fact that if she calls then I won't have spoken any English-so I won't need to worry if she asks me if I've made friends yet." Her anger had suddenly been diffused and she now snuggled herself back into the cushions. Alex sighed unhappily
"What was that about?" Harry asked, his eyes shifting in between the two.
"Lie" Suzette ordered simply-Alex rolled his eyes
"She said it's wonderful to meet all of you"
" You're a terrible liar Alex"
"Well I'm the only one you have due to the fact that you CAN'T lie." He said almost cockily-as if she needed him
"And poking at insecurity's once again-or do you just want me to kill you for hitting below the belt?"
"See that's your problem-you always pretend that everyone is out to get you-I've been your lying, your 'translator', your book-bag, and your shield...among other things for almost ten years now and all you do is hurt me!" by this point Alex had gotten up and was yelling in her hair-Her face turned to the other side. After a moment she said to him
"Sit down you dolt-you're making a scene." Alex's anger disappeared instantly; he sank back into his seat looking as if he had just been making out with a dementor.
"You're going to hurt me latter aren't you?" He asked her after a few moments-his voice such a low whisper it could almost not be heard.
"Naturally" was her simple answer, and she looked out the window.
Once everybody was at there normal house tables and first years were being sorted Hermione nudged her two friends
"Look at those two, notice anything strange?" Harry and Ron looked to see that the two were not in the group as the first years were-rather leaning against a wall-well-Alex leaned against a wall Suzette leaned on Alex as if she were asleep-an illusion shattered only by the fact that her fingers were nervously tugging at were her sleeve met her arm.
"You mean what she's wearing?" Ron asked. True that was one thing wrong; Suzette had on a pink dress with black ascents modern-day designs but a shape that looked like it was from the 116th century...with the exception being that hers only went knee-high, long white stockings and combat boots-the sleeves were quarter arm length and had fabric going down to end at her waist. Alex had a simple black suit with rips and tears showing bloody bandages.
"Look harder Ron" Hermione tried.
"The sunglasses?" Harry guessed-Suzette was in fact wearing sunglasses; she had been on the train as well.
"HER HAIR" Hermione the boys looked at her as if there was something wrong with her. "She's wearing a braided upsweep-I know for a fact that takes at least an hour to do!" The sorting finished and Harry distinctly thought he heard
"Smart girl-one mistake, a best friend-two hope...then destruction he-he-he now we shall see what awaits" Headmaster Dumbledore stood up.
"Ah welcome new students, old students, and for the first time-Transfer students and Transfer teachers. Now I have been informed that though perhaps not the right age-the children are to be placed in the fourth year-now as they would be undoubtedly shy doing this by themselves-we have arranged for the entire fourth year to be resorted into the next best house, or in some cases the best house thought wrong for you"
Hello dear children you may find
this a more interesting year
But now my dear a backwards time
Not seen now for three years
Though you have begged and pleaded all
for once I have the choice
To ignore your innermost hope
And do what I see right
Oh-you think that I am cruel
I'm merely being honest
And you will find my stories true
'fore the year is o'er
A Hufflepuff tuned Slytherin
or Ravenclaw in red
So come down all you old ones and affix me on your head
And though you think I'm batty
Or a new hat is in order
Meet your new old house mates and change back if have the courage
The students' claps were sparse and all too soon the fourth years were in the same huddled clump they had been in four years ago.

"Slytherin" The world, came crashing down around Harry as her headed to Slytherin table-Draco made a seat for him...he sat and tried not to cry-Suzette still standing there-now slightly pulling one pigtail. The short wallowing in pity stopped when Harry heard a sound-it was so high pitched and foreign that it broke him out of his revere. He looked up to see Suzette holding Alex by his throat-screaming at him in her native language. He thought for a moment-then he risked it
"What happened?" He asked the boy sitting next to him
"He was sorted into Hufflepuff." Draco informed him-trying to concentrate on what they said.
"Oh" After some spells to calm her down by Dumbledore and a few hushed words by Alex she stopped throwing a fit and worriedly bit on her long, braided pigtail. Alex Calmly grabbed her hand and led her to Slytherin table
"Draco, Harry-do you mind if she sits here? She's...Shy" Draco nodded and she was seated in between him and Harry-Her long limp hair simply fell-as if there was no more hope.
