Chapter 4

Hogwarts Express

Jack was going through the train in search of an empty compartment. It was pretty annoying. They were either full, didn't want him there or were full of giggling girls. If he would have to be in a compartment with that kind of girls he would get out of there mentally conflicted. He shuddered at that though.

When he passed one of the emptier compartments he saw the blonde boy. Well he could at least try. He preferred a jerk over giggling girls. So he opened the door, but before he could say something the jerk spoke up.

"When that isn't the lost little boy. Are already excited about your first year. I'm sure you will have a lot of fun with the other slobbering little first classers." Jack grinned at that. He recognized a challenge when he saw one. And he especially liked such where he could degrade a pompous prat.

"You know that it doesn't mean that all kids have to be like you." Jack almost laughed at the face that the blond was making, he was getting a little red but not as much as his two gorilla friends. Jack was sure that the boy was going to say something but he didn't had time to play with such kind of dumbasses, he had to find a free sit.

"It was nice to talk to you lot, really." Jack said sarcastically "But now I have to go I don't want to get whatever sickness you have that your faces are that red and slimy. So farewell." Jack said turning around and closing the door after him.

He turned around and was almost run over a blonde girl. Jack had to give it to her she really was quite sweet and kind of weird already on the firs look. Jack liked her.

"I really don't know what's today with me and running girls over." He half joked. The girl looked at him with a dreamy look and smiled.

"That must be because of wrackspurts, they floating trough your ear and making your brain all fuzzy." The girl said as if it was the most normal fact in the world. Jack grinned.

"Never heard of such things. Can you see them?"

"I am Jack. Jack Frost. You don't know if there is still a sit free somewhere. I don't want to spend the rest of the ride on my feet."

"You can sit by me. You have nice hair, I like it."

"Uh, thanks? I like your hair too." Jack didn't know what to say. He had accepted the fact that some people will find his hair strange or think that it's not his natural hair colour, but he didn't foreseen that someone would just like it. He smiled.

"I'm Luna, by the way. Luna Lovegood." She said with a dreamy smile.

And so Jack followed Loony to her compartment. When they arrived Jack could see that there were other people already there. He didn't think that someone would be with Luna. He didn't mean it as in she's a freak but more in she seems to like being alone but when he tough about it no one liked to be alone.

"I hope your friends don't mind me."

"No one will mind you believe me. The other people in the compartment are nice believe me. I mean they sat by me rather than on the floor."

"Why would someone rather sit on the floor than by you?"

"The people think I'm kind of strange." She said with her always dreamy voice.

"Then you're not alone. Other people think of me the same way but that doesn't mean that I would change for anything in the world, I like thing the way they are."

"Strange doesn't mean wrong." Said Luna and Jack had to give her right. His thoughts were brought to an end when the door opened and he saw who was in. He had to grin. In there were this redhead girl, Ginny was it? And the boy with messy hair Harry? And some other boy with black hair who was holding a cactus like plant and was poking it. As he and Luna came in and closed the door Ginny and Harry looked up but before anything could be said there was green slime flying through the whole compartment.

The only thing that Jack thought in the moment was This stuff stinks.

"I think I got some in my eyes" said a feminine voice, but not Luna's so it had to be the fireheads.

"My I know what that was?" Asked Jack, while removing the slime from his eyes ant face.

"I-It was my mimbulus mimbletonia . This is his defence system. B-but don't w-worry this stinksap is not poisonous." The other boy stuttered.

"You didn't have to provoke it Neville." Said Harry to Neville and the turned to Jack "Hay, you are the boy Hermione run over aren't you?"

"Yes my name is Jack Frost." He said his name more to the other boy Neville.

"I'm Neville Longbottom."

"Ginny Weasley"

"Harry. Harry Potter." Said the Harry as if Jack had to recognize his name. But Jack just grinned and said:

"It's nice to meet you. Even if coated in stinksuop."

"Stinksap." Corrected Neville.

As if awoken from a trans Ginny shuddered and then waved her wand and let the slime vanish.

Jack grinned "Cool."

A while later they were all seated and stinksap free they started to speak.

"So you said that you were homeschooled until now?" Asked Harry.

"Yeah kind of. But I didn't really learn a lot my adoptive family couldn't really teach me lot and didn't want me going to a school to far away because they we kind of afraid for me."

"So you have to catch up with us and learn the new stuff?" Asked Neville.

"Yeah but I already read half of the books before I even knew that I was going to school." That was not a lie. Jack had really already read some of the books before they were kind of interesting, he knew he would have problems with the practical lessons but he knew at least the theory.

"But theory is not enough to perform a spell right." Said Harry.

"Ah come on Harry don't be such a pessimist we can always help Jack out. Don't we?" Declared Ginny.

"Yeah sure."

"Great. I would love to have someone help me with the stuff I really am not familiar with wands and such. I have just got my wand a few days ago in the Diagon Alley."

"How did you learn before with your family, didn't you practice with one of their wand's?" asked Ginny.

"No, my family too does not practise magic with wands. We do an other kind of magic. More elementary. But they figured it would be a good idea for me to learn some real magic." Answered jack. He tried to say what more truth in his lies. The lies forged with truth were the best.

"How do you think an other kind of magic?" asked Luna

Jack didn't answer instead he let it snow. In the compartment.

Ginny squeaked, Neville looked awed, Harry interested, and Luna looked at the snow with a dreamy look.

"So you didn't get just your name after the myth." Said Harry. Jack was perplexed that someone knew about him also when they didn't believe in him but he forced himself to get over it and plastered a grin on his face.

"Seams so."

"Do you know already what house you want to be in?" Asked Ginny. Jack had read about the houses of Hogwarts in the book Hogwarts: A history what he bought while they were in school shopping. But he didn't really thought about what house he preferred.

"I'm not sure. What do you say in which one you can have the most fun?" He asked.

To the surprise of the Gryffindors the Ravenclaw answered.

"That would be Gryffindor. The brave and reckless ones." She said. Jack grinned.

"And in what house are you lot?" He asked.

"Ginny, Neville and I are Gryffindors, Luna is Ravenclaw." Answered Harry.

"Then I hope I end up in one of your houses. I hate being alone." If they knew just how much.

They continued talking about other trivial things. Jack couldn't wait to come to the school. He liked this people and wanted to meet their friends they were talking about.
