I'm baaack! Yup, Eight months, Sorry It took so long! Thank poisodon for sending in the review that made me feel guilty enough to work on the story.
I own nothing and shall not make you wait any longer.
The sunlight burst through the windows of the small room. Shining it's warm life giving rays down upon the four boys in the room. Or rather, the three boys and one ninja. Tom (the book worm) was the first to be lured out of his dreams by the blinding sun's light. Emitting a soft groan he rolled over. The blankets slipped from under him, sending him tumbling down to greet the carpet five feet below. He moaned and snuggled down into the plush carpet, quickly falling back asleep.
Gred (the noble) was woken up by the noise of Tom hitting the floor. He gazed on dumbfounded as the blond haired boy rolled over and went back to sleep. How the boy could just go back to sleep after falling five feet he would never know. He grumbled, great he'd never go to sleep now! Climbing out of bed he rustled through his stuff to find a change of clothes. Grabbing a pair of jeans and a t-shirt he entered the bathroom to take a shower.
It was the running water that woke up Forge (The popular one.) As he sat up to get out of bed he noticed that Tom wasn't in the bed across from him and assumed that he was the one taking the shower. So he climbed down from the top bunk and took extra care not to step on Gred who he thought was still sleeping. Imagine his surprise to find Tom sleeping on the floor and Gred not in bed. So he corrected his assumption, Gred must be in the shower. Having no idea as to what to do now Forge sat down on Gred's bed, and soon fell into a light doze

"What are you doing?" The dozing brown haired boy lazily lifted his head from the soft, white pillow.
"Sleeping," Forge grumbled while fixing his green eyes in a sleepily irritated stare at the wet boy in the door way.
Gred sighed, he could see that but, "That's my bed." He informed the infuriating roommate before moving on to search through his bags for the ever elusive comb.
"Yes duchess, your bed." Forged retorted snidely letting his head fall back onto the pillow, slipping back into sleeps embrace he said a few last words, "Go 'way 'm 'eepy." (Go away I'm sleepy)
The wet red head stared at him angrily as he continued to dig though the pocket's depths, "Where the hell did you get Duchess from!" Silence was his reply. "Hey! Are you even listening to me?" The hazel eyed boy left his search and stormed angrily to his bed and the boy currently sleeping on it. Too bad he stepped on Tom's ankle, slipped, and crashed down onto Forge. "Ah!" He exclaimed.
"Gah!" The formerly snoozing dark haired boy jerked awake for the third time. "What the hell!" He glared down the length of his body at the boy who had just gotten him wet. "Great now I'm wet!" After wedging his hands under neath Gred and shoving the still wet boy off of him Forge sat up. "I'm gonna take a shower. You wake them up." He ordered before storming into the still steamy bathroom.
"Stupid peasant who does he think he is ordering me around like that?" Gred grumbled and pushed Tom over with his foot. When the boy on the floor didn't wake up he grew even angrier. "Wake up already!"
The only person left in bed cracked a grin. This year definitely isn't going to be boring.

Forty-five minuets late all of the boys had finally showered, even Tom although it took a while to persuade him to take one. They had dressed, were finally wide awake, and sent downstairs for breakfast. While they were eating they were told they were going shopping for their school supplies later. Now they were back in their room, and horribly, painfully, bored.
Tom, who was laying on his stomach on his bunk above Tobi's, was reading distractedly. Somewhere in the back of his mind he was wishing something, anything would happen. For going to a wizarding school everything was pretty boring. Idly he remarked upon that fact.
"We're not at the school yet." Gred said from his position on his bed, across from Tobi's
"Hey I know!" Forge piped up from his spot sitting on Tobi's bunk. "Duchess can make up something for us to do!"
"Don't. Call. Me. Duchess." 'Duchess' ground out, "My. Name. Is. Gred."
"Whatever, just don't get your panties in a twist Duchess." Forge dismissed Gred's order. He was quite surprised when Gred had leaped off of his bunk and was flying through the air towards him in a flying tackle. Everyone in the room was even more surprised when Tobi, who had been sitting on the floor leaning against his bed, had reached up and grabbed the back of Gred's shirt. Once Gred had stopped moving forward Tobi promptly dropped him on the ground.
"Erm," An older student, a fourth year, had apparently knocked while they were creating a fuss and receiving no answer had opened the door. The sight of them in their current positions was quite awkward. "Uh, a professor will be coming to take you to get your school supplies soon." Looking quite embarrassed he quickly backed out of the room and shut the door.
"School supplies?" Tom asked as he watched Gred sit up.
"There was a list in our letter." Gred informed the boy only boy actually in his bunk.
Tom 'Hm'ed idly as he ran his hand over his blanket searching for the bookmark that was his Hogwarts letter. When his searching hands found the letter he picked it up, located the supply list, and began to read it aloud. (AN: I copied the letter from the first book, except for the defense against the dark arts book. I'm not sure if I remembered it from the fifth book or not but the author I invented)

PARENTS ARE REMINDED THAT FIRST YEARS ARE NOT ALLOWED THEIR OWN BROOMSTICKS" Tom finished reading the letter, and dropped his arms over the side of the bunk allowing the letter to hang limply from his hands.
"They actually ride booms?" Forge asked indignantly, "They better not expect me to! That sounds bloody uncomfortable."
"We're first years anyways." Tobi replied mildly, "We're not aloud to have brooms. Though I wonder if I'm an exception? I am older than you."
"I kinda wanna try flying" Tom remarked, "So if you get a broom I call dibs on a ride."
"My name is Tobi," Tobi introduced out of the blue, "We were never introduced, so I thought I'd tell you my name."
"I'm Tom."
"I'm called Forge."
"I already said I'm named Gred."
This time when someone knocked on the door they heard it over the noise of their awkward silence. "Come in." Tobi called.
Slowly the door creaked open and Suzanna poked her head into the room. "There's a professor downstairs to take you to the alley. The man with black hair." She started to retreat from the room then seemed to think better of it. "Oh, and be polite. I suggest you address him as professor or sir." Then she'd retreated back to her room.

Five minuets later found Professor Snape leading Tobi, Tom, Gred, Forge, and Andrea (The only girl first year who was staying at the hotel) out into Diagon Alley. The professor completely ignored the five first years' wondering eyes, as he walked briskly and unfaltering towards the slightly crooked but still solid, white building labeled Gringotts. When they boys had gone downstaris into the lobby of the little hotel, the five hadn't even managed to introduce themselves to the one girl staying here before the professor brushed them outside. The view was fairly breathtaking but not nearly as breathtaking as the Leaky Cauldron's entrance, and the murky weather didn't help the view at all.
Inside of Gringotts, Proffesor Snape had to have the four younger children sign papers to open their student scholarship accounts. Student accounts were opened to people younger than 16, every month a little bit of money is added into their accounts to help them start their lives out of school. The Hogwarts muggleborn scholarship was not offered to every muggleborn but it would pay all school fees, including books and uniforms. Tobi, being too old to open a student account had to open a full account and his scholarship money had been deposited into it. However, because the school couldn't pay his fees with his scholarship money he had to be careful on how much money he spent. After the papers were signed they waited for the goblin to withdraw their supplies money, while they waited they introduced themselves.
"Pleased to meet you, my name is Tom Truax." Tom greeted politely, but in the tones of one who is quiet not because their shy but because they thought noise was severely overrated.
"I'm Kathrin Foster! But everyone just calls me Rin." She introduced herself brightly, a broad smile on her face.
"My name's Forge Foss!" He informed her, "Grumpy there's named Gred, but everyone calls him Duchess."
"Nobody calls me Duchess, but you. And you're just a Nail-Brained, idiot."
Tobi gently pulled Forge off of Gred. Apparently Forge hated being insulted even more than Gred did, for Gred now supported a very sore nose. Laughing he introduced himself to Rin, "Pleasure, I'm called Tobi."
"Come!," Snape ordered. "Lets get this over with!" Despite the Potion Professor's wish to get this over with it was an hour later before the children were returned to the small hotel off of Diagon Alley. "If you need to go in the alley you need a third year or above to accompany. Do not disturb any adults for your pettish desires." Turning he made what would have been a very impressive exit, billowing cloak and all.
"Professor!" Forge called out, "Tobi's older than a third year, does he count?"
Snape looked annoyed, whether it was because his escape plan was ruined; or because he was asked a question; or maybe because it was because he was being forced to be withing 100 meters of an Extremely hyper girl, two boys who were always fighting, a boy who always managed to not run into anyone while reading, and an elder student who (in his opinion) must have very low magical ability; none of them knew. "I suppose" Then he turned and completed his exit, billowing cloak and all. Ignoring the other four's woops of joy, he noticed that the professor now had to walk into what looked like a curtain of rain.

And that's a wrap! I'm really sorry it took so long, and I really don't have a good excuse because everything below the "We're not at school yet" remark was written in about two days. Anyone want to vote on what houses they should be in? I want to know where you think, Gred, Forge, Tom, Tobi, and Rin should be.
Oh! I need more first years! Suggestions?
Rin was inspired by Tsuki Zuzuhara's remark on how funny it'd be to have a weird girl character in the group.
I also NEED A BETA!! anyone offering?
