Chapter 6: Hogwarts

Harry smiled as Aster ran into the barrier for the Hogwarts express. Platform 9¾. He smiled at Edo as he walked by. They weren't scared for first timers. He ran after them. Catching up to them, they set off to find a compartment where they could stay. Harry found one with Neville Longbottom. He smiled at the boy and entered.

"Neville, this is Aster and Edo Phoenix. Hogwarts newest students other than Malfoy's stupid family," Harry said, muttering the last part. Aster over heard and looked at him.

"I thought he was your boyfriend!" She said in shock. Harry said several things no one understood. Edo was laughing and so was Aster. Harry flushed a bright red and told her she was wrong. Aster shrugged as Ron entered with Ginny. He had several sweets with him.

"Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans?" Edo read. He held a box in his hands. Aster peered in and took out a red one.

"They look like jelly beans to me," she said popping it in.

"They mean every flavor. Dumbledore got earwax once." Harry explained. Aster smiled.

"Well?" Ron asked.

"Jalapeño!" She said with a smile. She burped lightly into her hand. As she did, a small fire and smoke came out. They all stared.

"What part of your family did that come from?" Harry asked Edo who ate a blue one.

"Dad's side. Why?" As he said this, ice crystals came out of his mouth, "and this came from our mom's." He smiled as he held Pepper, his Siamese kitten, and put her into her basket along with his other things. They had arrived…

SORTING

(A/N Insert whatever song you want and I'll only be doing Edo's and Aster's sorting.) Everyone clapped as the hat finished its song. The first years were sorted quickly. Dumbledore stood up and motioned for the ones waiting.

"This year, we would like to welcome some new students to out sixth and third year." He said. Minerva McGonagall cleared her throat.

"Aster Phoenix!" She called. Aster walked forwards, and sat on the stool as the hat was placed on her head. She gulped and hesitated.

-Well! This is a new one!-

-Who are you?- She asked mentally.

-The Sorting Hat! Now, you have the qualities of each house. Loyalty, ambition, courage, and brains. But where to put you. Gryffindor, or Slytherin?-

-I don't mind either…-

-Alright then…-

"SLYTHERIN!" The Slytherin table cheered as she walked over. Harry stared at her in shock.

"Edo Phoenix!" All the girls either fainted or had hearts for eyes. He sat on the stool.

-So, you're that girl's brother. Same qualities. So, maybe I should put you with her?-

-I don't mind. She's my little sister, and even if we're separated, we're close. We have a bind.-

-I can see. So…-

"SLYTHERIN!" Harry was shocked again. He glared at Malfoy as he shook Edo's hand. He was slightly jealous. He left with the others as soon as the feast had ended.

SLYTHERIN COMMON ROOM

"So, Aster. Edo. Welcome to the House of Slytherin!" Draco said. He smiled at them/ aster held tightly onto Edo as soon as they left. She was nervous. Especially around Snape. Draco's eyes moved to her pendant, and the rose in her head turned into a snake. It hissed at him and he backed away. Ai, Aster's Miracle's Phoenix slithered down to the floor. She turned into a bangle and Aster put it on her left arm.

"Don't do that. You could get killed." Edo said, "The Miracle's Phoenix is rare. And they aren't hesitant when it comes to killing the ones they protect. Usually, they carry the spirit of a dead one close to the one they're protecting." Draco nodded. Aster smiled at him. He chuckled and sat down. Aster and Edo followed him. He turned to Edo, and was surprised to see he had a rare shade of blue eyes. He cleared his throat as his relatives walked in.

"Everyone, you should know that under all circumstances, they are not to be touched!" He explained, "I don't want to see a mark on them!" He left them in awe. (A/N Harry's got competition for Edo's heart! LOL!) Edo and Aster stared after him. Aster looked up at her brother.

"Harry's got competition for your heart Edo!" She said. (Sakura: HEY! I JUST SAID THAT! Aster: Who cares! ^-^) Edo flushed lightly, causing the girls to scream at how it made him look all the more beautiful.

"Let's go to bed Aster. Dumbledore gave us a room." Edo said carrying the now slumbering girl in his arms. Aster stirred as Pepper jumped up onto her shoulders. Edo said a quick good night and entered their room. A Slytherin third year scoffed as soon as they did.

"That girl is only eleven! She is a first year!" She said. The others agreed. She picked up the blue bangle that lay on the floor. She smiled as she was about to it on.

"It looks so good on you Sabrina!" Her friend said. Sabrina smiled as she modeled it for the common room. Suddenly at white burst flew at them. They were shocked to see her arm had turned into ice. Aster walked out, her blue eyes now the same color as snow. She had frost crystals around her hair. She snatched the bangle away. She glared at them.

"Never steal from me, or you'll become a crystal statue. I love hearing people scream for mercy as I shatter their bodies. We are mostly water you know…" She said.

"Aster! Stop scaring them! They aren't like us!" Edo yelled. They gulped. Aster smiled and skipped back into her room. They stared as she left. They didn't want to become shattered statues! They had so much to live for! So much to do! They weren't even famous yet!

"I'm scared…" Sabrina said. So, this is why she was a third year? WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!
