Harry and Portia adjusted well to Hogwarts after a few days. They both eventually accepted that they wouldn't be getting their way for everything and the fact that their father was always with them helped. Even though they saw little of Galatea and only received letters from their family they were alright. Homesickness became a thing of the past after they made friends with fellow Gryffindors Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, and Neville Longbottom. After they learned not to bring blood or class status into everything they became very agreeable. The search for Harry Potter wow ever was something that pressed on the minds of staff and students alike. So far they had taken everything but their flying class.

"Up you stupid broom!" said Portia stamping her feet. Impatiently she continued to order her broom like a small child.

"Let me try." Said Harry as he stood over his broom. Many other first years were having similar problems but Portia was making a spectacle out of herself.

"Let's see how well you can do it then." Said Portia crossing her arms. She had learned that teachers and student couldn't be ordered around as well as Mrs. Norris but inanimate objects were another story.

"Up!" said Harry and his broom went directly into his hands

"Lucky." Muttered Portia as she kicked her broom. It sailed across from her and hit Draco Malfoy in the face.

"I'll teach you to be careless!" said Draco pulling out his wand

"Bring it on you slimey Slytherin!" said Portia. Harry chuckled at the lameness of her reply. They hadn't gotten along with any of the Slytherins but Draco seemed to want to bother them.

"Was that the best you could do?" laughed Draco as he stalked towards her

"Leave her alone you white haired pretty boy!" said Harry pulling out his own wand. He didn't really want to fight but he had to defend his sister. He could hear his father squeaking with dis approval from his pocket.

"Oh that's it Pettigrew I'll-" started Draco as Neville Long Bottom sailed past them knocking Madam Hooch down. She was going over to break up the fight when Neville had sailed past them.

"Mr. Longbottom! If you don't come down from there I'll-" said Madam Hooch as Neville fell off of his broom. He hit the group and his arm was at an odd angle

"It hurts!" yelled Neville. Madam Hooch ran towards him and picked him up.

"I'm taking him to the Hospital Wing. All brooms are to stay of the ground or you'll be expelled faster than you can say 'Quiddich'." Said Madam Hooch as she carried Neville away

"Maybe if the fat lump had given this a squeeze he'd have remembered to fall on his fat asrse." Said Malfoy picking up the remembrall that Neville had dropped.

"Has the Malfoy family fallen on such hard times that they've had to resort to stealing?" said Portia as she swung her broom at Draco Malfoy. She was Neville's friend so she felt an obligation to him. Harry tried to hold her back.

"I see that the Pettigrew family isn't teaching their children proper behavior. Or maybe you're the bastard, Portia." Said Draco as he hopped on his broom and flew a but out of reach. This made Harry lose his temper and he tried to hex Draco Malfoy but missed.

"Hold still!" said Portia as she tried to stupify Draco but hit a passing owl instead

"What's the matter Pettigrew? A bit beyond your reach?" asked Draco as he began to fly in circles above them

"I'll kill you!" said Portia as she snatched her brook off the ground and took off

"Portia get down before you get expelled!" yelled Harry as Portia began to fly after Draco Malfoy. Neither of them had much experience on a broom and they almost hit each other.

"Hold still so I can knock you off your broom!" said Portia as she took of her shoe mid flight and swung it at Draco's head.

"The things I do for my sister." Muttered Harry as he took off after them.

"If you want it so bad then take it!" yelled Draco as he threw the remembrall at Harry. Harry caught it just as it was about go through a window. Portia slammed into Draco and threw him to the ground unharmed.

"Mr. and Mrs. Pettigrew?" said Professor McGonalce as she made long strides out of the castle

"We're dead." Said Portia as she tried to hide behind Harry

"Worse, we're expelled." Said Harry as she lead them into the castle

"We go home and then we're dead." They both said at once as they were lead in front of the defense against the Dark Arts classroom.

"Maybe we have to duel Professor Quirrel as a punishment." Said Portia as she looked at the stuttering professor.

"Not again." Said Harry as he felt his scar burning, he put his hand to where his scar would be if it wasn't covered up by glamor charms.

"Professor Quirrel, may I borrow Wood please?" asked Professor McGonacle

"Maybe Wood is the cane they're going to beat us with." Said Portia as an older handsome boy came from the classroom. Portia got the strangest expression on her face and her she could hear her heat beat in her ears.

"Portia? Sister? What wrong with you?" asked Harry. Professor McGonacle began to speak before Portia could reply

"Harold, this is Oliver Wood. Wood, I think we've found our new seeker." Said McGonacle happily

"What about me?" asked Portia airily

"I'll deal with you later Mrs. Pettigrew." Sais Professor McGonacle sternly. She lead Portia away and Wood said that he'd explain Quiddich later. Harry knew that Quiddich was a sport but he was just happy that he wasn't going to be expelled. He was worried about Portia and he hoped she wouldn't be expelled. He was happy that he could see her sitting with their friends in the Great Hall at dinner. She looked very cross and Harry was worried.

"She took fifty points from Gryffindor and made me have a month's detention and made me…apologize." Said Portia angrily stabbing at her food.

"At least you weren't expelled." Said Hermione

"No but I had to…apologize." Said Portia angrily

"Don't worry, you'll get Malfoy back and those points too." Said Ron angry that she had lost Gryffindor the points. It was then that they noticed that Harry was there.

"Harold, Portia told us that you're going to be the new Gryffindor seeker." Said Hermione happily

"Professor McGonacle said that I'm the youngest seeker in a century." Said Harry as he put Peter on the table. Peter began to nibble at Harry's food.

"Harry, that's unsanitary." Said Hermione not used to rats as pets let alone table guests

"He's clean." Said Portia a bit too offended for someone who's rat was just insulted. Harry kicked her under the table

"He looks like the rat my brother Percy used to have, Scabbers." Said ron. Peter's blood ran cold and he went into Harry's pocket

"He couldn't be. We got him at…." Said Harry

"A pet store. He's a high class rat." Said Portia as she began to shovel food into her mouth quickly

"Oh, alright." Said Ron not wanting to get into a discussion about class with them. It was a tentative friendship at best and he didn't want to strain it.

"Back to…Malfoy. I'll get him back. After dinner of course." Said Portia finishing. She dragged Harry with her back to Gryffindor tower. They went to Harry's bed in the boys dorm and began to talk and write letters to family. This went on well into the night.

"I have an idea!" said Persephone from under the tent she and Harry had made from the blankets of his bed.

"You're going back to your own dormitory before we get into trouble." Said Harry as he peaked his head out from under the tent apprehensively. They had been doing this since Portia had figured out that she could get into the boys dormitory.

"No, I think that we should try and do something fun!" said Portia almost loud enough to wake someone

"Like not get in trouble?" said Harry

"Why are you so afraid of Professor McGonacle? She's not as scary as Snape." Said Portia

"I'm not afraid of her, I just don't want to expelled." Said Harry as he watched his father sleeping in his rat form

"I'm sure we won't get expelled for a prank or sneaking into that Hogsmeade place or streaking across the Quidditch pitch ." said Portia thoughtfully

"I just got on the team, I'm not going to run around naked." Said Harry

"Fine, I have a better idea!" said Portia standing up. Ron muttered something about spiders making him tap dance

"Does it involve me getting some sleep?" snarked Harry

"No, we strip Malfoy and paint him in Gryffindor colors then we-"

"What is your obsession with nakedness?"

"It's funny."

"You know what else is funny?"

"What?"

"You sleeping in your own dormitory so I can sleep."

"Sleep during history of magic."

"Go bother Galatea! At least you can sorta be with her!" said Harry losing all patience. He liked his sister and all but lately he had been becoming more distant.

"Fine! But I'm taking him with me!" said Portia as she picked Peter up and stomped out of the room waking everyone up.

"Glad my sister's still at home." Said Ron turning over to get some sleep.

"Good for you Ron, good for you." Said Harry as he began to sleep.
