A/N: Wow, another chapter so soon, gasp :O
When they woke up the next morning, they gathered all of their stuff and left to find Platform 9¾.
"I can't find Platform 9¾, there's 9 and 10, buy no ¾." Suzaku moaned.
Lelouch began to look around. His sister was nowhere to be found.
"Where's Nunally?" Lelouch asked.
"I don't know; she was just here," Suzaku replied.
"She's at the platform," C2 said monotonously.
"What?" Lelouch questioned.
"Follow me," C2 said. C2 grabbed her cart and ran through the pillar near Platform 10. Much to Lelouch's and Suzaku's surprise, she went right through. The two followed, though they expected to smack right into it. There they saw a magnificent red train; next to it was Nunally. Lelouch rushed over to her.
"Are you okay?" Lelouch asked.
"Yes brother; sorry, but I fell through the barrier, and I couldn't find you," Nunally said, apologetically.
"It's okay; let's get on." Lelouch replied. The group gathered their suitcases and got on the train. They found an empty compartment (for there were many), and got comfortable. They sat reading their textbooks; Lelouch read aloud to Nunally. After a couple of hours, more students began to board the train. Just then, a blond haired kid with two fat friends walked by. He paused as he gazed into the compartment. He opened the door startling Suzaku and Nunally.
"I've never seen you before. I'm Draco Malfoy. Who are you guys?" the boy asked high and mighty.
Suzaku spoke up, "I'm Suzaku Kururugi. This is C2, Lelouch Lamperouge, and his sister Nunally." He outstretched his hand in greeting.
"Oh, so you're an Eleven huh." Draco sneered.
Suzaku glared at him, immediately revoking his hand back to his side. The goons chuckled at the snooty comment.
"Well, see you later then." Draco said sarcastically and left.
"Wow, I hate that guy already." Suzaku verbalized. After a few minutes of reading again, a girl with curly, brown hair walked by, and stopped just like the last guy.
"Have you seen a boy with red hair along with a black haired kid with a scar by any chance?" the girl asked.
"Noooooo." Suzaku replied.
"Sorry, I'm Hermione Granger. You three look like second years, yet I've never seen you around before." Hermione asked.
"I'm Suzaku Kururugi. This is C2, Lelouch, and Nunally, we're new."
Lelouch looked at Hermione, but continued to read aloud to his sister. Hermione looked at them.
"Wow, you're reading the textbooks already, too. Glad I'm not only one reading ahead of time." She said.
"Well, we're just not used to magic." Suzaku explained.
"Oh, so you're a Muggle born like me?" Hermione asked.
"I am, but I'm not sure about them." Suzaku replied.
Of course, Charles must have taken the throne that way, Lelouch thought to himself.
"Well, good luck, hope you get sorted into Gryffindor." Hermione said cheerfully, before remembering why she'd gone in there in the first place.
The whole train ride was spent on reading, even C2 was reading, after she'd tried to order pizza from the treat cart. They got changed just before they had arrived, and got into the boats for the first years. The group of four got into their own boat, escorted by Hagrid, a giant friendly fellow. When they arrived, they saw McGonagall, who took them up some stairs.
"Soon, we will enter the Great Hall. I shall call your names in alphabetical order, and you will then be sorted. If there are no questions, we will move on." McGonagall said, walking into the Great Hall. She walked over to a stool with an old hat on top of it.
"Andromeda, Gary." McGonagall began. She sat the hat on his head. The hat sat there for a couple seconds before.
"Hufflepuff." it screamed, much to Suzaku's, Lelouch's, and Nunally's surprise. The Sorting continued.
"Lamperouge, Nunally." McGonagall called.
Lelouch lead Nunally up to the stool. Nunally sat, and McGonagall placed the hat on her head.
"Hm, kindness, charity, a hint of bravery, well then, you should be in GRYFFINDOR!" the hat yelled. Nunally, cheerfully, was lead to the Gryffindor table, where Gryffindor clapped for her. Slytherin snickered. Hermione heard something about how Gryffindor was where all the disabled wizards and Muggle borns went. McGonagall finished with the rest of the first years.
"Now, we are done with the first years. These three are second years, but we couldn't locate them until now. C2, you're up first." McGonagall told. C2 walked forward, sat, and waited. The hat went on her head like everyone else's.
"Let's see, not much here, but a large history, seems like you have traits for GRYFFINDOR!" C2 got up and sat at the Gryffindor's table, all with a bored expression on her face.
"Kururugi, Suzaku." McGonagall said.
Suzaku heard whisperings about being an Eleven and a Muggle born, but Suzaku ignored the taunting and walked up. He went through the standard procedure.
"Wow, what a bucket load of bravery, but a dark past, hm, where to put you, GRYFFINDOR!" Gryffindor cheered once again.
"Lamperouge, Lelouch."
Lelouch walked forward, in a calculative manner. He sat and had the hat placed.
"Intelligence, but immense love for sister, hatred toward father, and loyalty to friend, so another GRYFFINDOR!" the hat cheered. Gryffindor cheered even louder for getting the three new kids. McGonagall put the hat away. Dumbledore got up.
"Now is not the time for speeches, so enjoy the feast." Dumbledore said spreading out his arms. The feast appeared, astounding Suzaku and Lelouch, even C2 was a bit surprised. They ate up anything they saw and drank a lot. Nunally was careful trying to find the foods she liked. After the feast, Dumbledore stood back up.
"The Forbidden Forest is forbidden to all those who don't wish to die a painful death. I have a few more words for you. Here they are: Lollipops, gumdrops, and strudels. Now, follow your prefects to your common rooms." Dumbledore finished. The students got up and followed Percy to the common rooms. Lelouch and Suzaku looked around at all of the moving paintings. After a couple of various pathways which Lelouch memorized the route of, they arrived at a huge painting of a fat woman.
More interestingly, she spoke, "Password."
"Wattlebird." Percy said, but practically commanded. The painting swung open. The Gryffindors stepped into their common room.
"Girls are to the left, boys to the right." Percy said.
Lelouch and Suzaku went to the boy's area. C2 lead Nunally to the girl's. Lelouch and Suzaku looked around. Finally, they came to a room with their names on the door. Along with their names, there was Seamus Finnigan, Neville Longbottom, Harry Potter, Dean Thomas, and Ronald Weasley. The two walked in. There were only three of the five listed there.
"Who are you?" the first question was fired. It came from a lanky, awkward looking boy.
"Uh, we're new. I'm Suzaku, and this is Lelouch." Suzaku said plainly.
"Oh."
"So where are the other two?" Lelouch asked.
"They missed the train, but they're taking a car." Seamus explained.
"Oh," Suzaku said.
Lelouch took out one of his textbooks and began reading.
"Isn't that for nerds?" Dean asked.
"Well, that's just Lelouch. Get used to it." Suzaku said in behalf of Lelouch.
Lelouch glared at him with his deep purple eyes. Even without Geass, Dean willingly obeyed and shut up. The others made sure to avoid that subject. At midnight, the two other boys came stumbling in.
"Wow guys, you were awesome." Neville said.
"Thanks, um, who are they?" Ron asked, pointing to Suzaku and Lelouch.
"They're new, that's Suzaku and Lelouch." Neville responded.
Suzaku and Lelouch were already asleep, at that's what they appeared to be. Lelouch kept his ears open. Suzaku listened too. They talked about their adventure and how they crashed into a Whomping Willow. They finally got to sleep at about 2 am.
