[Kitten speech]
New Year, New friends
(With Harry and Neville)
It was time for Harry and Neville to grab their bags. They had taken the last week of summer vacation to pack so there was less of a chance of forgetting something. The two were already dressed in their uniforms.
Once done they took their trunks to the living room. Sirius shrunk them and they put them into their pocket. They thanked the man who smiled and ruffled their hair.
"You both are very welcome." He said.
"Are you okay Sirius?" Neville asked.
"I am. Just sometimes it gets to me that I can actually be in your boys' life." He said.
"We love you Sirius." Harry said as they hugged him.
"I love you both as well." He hugged them back.
"There you are." Remus said. "I was hoping Sirius didn't hog you both." He teased.
"Who, me?" The grim animagus asked with wide innocent eyes.
"Exactly." He snorted.
"Meany." He pouted but the mischief in his eyes gave way to his true feelings.
"Hand them over." He chuckled as the boys laughed.
"Fine." The pout deepened.
"Thank you." He hugged the boys close. "Bye Neville, Harry. I'm going to miss you both."
"We will miss you as well." Harry said.
"We love you." Neville said.
"I love you as well."
"Don't worry. We'll write letters as well as call you." The neko promised.
"Good."
"Hi Severus." Neville greeted when he spotted the man.
"Hello Neville. Hello Harry." He greeted the two.
"Hi!" Harry waved at him.
"Are you certain you packed everything?" He asked them.
"We are." They confirmed.
"Good." He smiled. "I hope you have a good semester."
"Thanks Severus." The boys said as they hugged him.
"I'm going to miss you." Harry told him.
"So will I." Neville chimed in.
"I will miss you both as well." He told them.
"What a softie." Sirius cooed.
"I will end you." Severus threatened. "And it will be painful."
"Boys." Fay warned as she and Augusta entered the room.
"Sorry." The two said.
"Are you boys ready? Lucas will be here soon." She told them.
"We are." They confirmed.
"Good." She smiled. "Now give us a hug."
The boys hugged both the women. When Neville's parents entered the room they hugged them as well. When Lucas entered the room he hugged them before making sure they were ready. When they confirmed that they were he took them to the bank. Once more it was professor Gladius. He smiled at the two.
"It is a pleasure to see you both again."
"You as well professor." Harry said.
"How was your summer sir?" Neville asked.
"Very productive, thank you for asking. How was your summer?" He asked.
"You're welcome. It was fun." He answered.
"Good. Well come along."
"Okay." The two said. "Bye Lucas."
"Bye you two. Have fun." He left after that.
"Hold on tightly." The potion master said as he held out an old shirt.
"Okay." The two said as they grabbed onto the shirt.
"My pharaoh." The man said and soon they were at the school. "Follow me."
"Okay."
Professor Gladius showed the boys to their new dorm. Instead of towers the boys were led to a wing of the school. Each door had symbols on the door. The Cross door was black with a white cross. The professor opened the door and the two walked inside. The room was done in light colored wood and blues.
"Your advisor this month is Vivian Moondrop. She is professor Lyra's apprentice. Professor Lyra is the magical music teacher." He informed them. "She will be here in an hour."
"Okay." The two said. "Thank you professor."
"You're welcome. Once more you boys are rooming together." He showed them the door with their names on it.
"Thanks sir." Harry said.
"You're welcome." He smiled. "I shall see you both in class."
"Okay. Bye professor." The two said.
"Goodbye boys." He left after that.
"Let's go check out our new rooms." The fairy said.
"Okay."
They entered the room and smiled. It was the same setup as last year. Harry and Neville appreciated that a lot. They then set about putting their things away. An hour later there was a knock on their door. Harry answered it.
"Hello." He said.
"Hello Mr. Potter, Mr. Longbottom. I am Vivian Moondrop." The woman introduced herself.
The young woman was a silvery gray with a white crescent moon on her forehead. Her hair was a light gray. It was in a short, fluffy pixie cut. Her ears were long with a light grey tuft of hair at the end. Her eyes were large and black. Her nose was small. Her lips were pouty and black. She was a few feet taller than Neville. Random moons in various phases littered her skin. She wore a simple gray skirt and white button up shirt. She had on a purple tie. She wore white knee high socks and black mary janes. On the breast pocket of her shirt was the school crest and her apprentice crest. She smiled at the pair.
"Nice to meet you." The two said.
"Follow me to the dining hall." She said.
"Okay."
"Great."
The two followed her out of the room. Soon they were joined by others. All were quiet as Vivian led them to the dining hall. They sat down at a table and quickly ordered their food. Vivian looked at them all with a smile.
"Welcome back to school everyone. Since you are with a new group of people We are going to introduce ourselves. Name, age, species, skills, hobbies, and career goals. If there is something you don't want to share then you don't have to. If you don't have a career goal then that's okay. You are in your second year after all." She began. "I will start. I am Vivian Moondrop. I am nineteen years old. I am a hybrid. I am a werepanther, a moon elf, and I am an imp. I play many different instruments and I sing. My hobbies include writing music, cooking, and hanging out with my friends. I plan on becoming a professor here. Okay now you." She pointed at the girl on her right.
The girl in question stood up. She had long blond hair and amber eyes. She had a slight tan and what looked like a claw mark on her face. She was a head taller than Neville.
"I'm Kairi Blaine. I am twelve and a werewolf. I am very skilled in sewing and potions. My hobbies include hanging out with my pack, making potions, and making stuffed animals. I dream of becoming a potion mistress and creating werewolf friendly potions. It would be great to create potions for other species as well."
She sat down and the girl next to her stood. She had short gray/blue hair. She had cat ears on the top of her head that were the same color. She was pale and had bright yellow catlike eyes. A gray/blue tail swayed behind her.
"I am Alexa Anderson. I am twelve and a neko, a Russian blue." Here she shot a disgusted look at Harry. "I am from a royal bloodline." She told them smugly. "I'm skilled in cooking, cleaning, sewing, and taking care of others. My hobbies include cooking and sewing. I am planning on finding my mate and being his or her wife and taking care of our children."
'Is she threatened by me or just jealous?' Harry wondered as she sat down and another girl stood.
This girl was actually shorter than Harry. She had long light green hair that she pulled into a high ponytail. Her eyes were the same color. She was pale.
"I'm Rosemary Fairyweather. I am twelve and I'm a nature elf. I can play the flute, paint, dance, and I'm very skilled in charms. I love playing the piano, painting, dancing, and hanging out with friends. I don't have a career goal at the moment." She sat down.
The next girl stood. She was tan with shoulder length golden blond hair. She had dog-like ears and a tail that were the same color. She was grinning at them all.
"Hola. I am Carmen RodrĂguez. I am twelve and I'm an inu, a golden retriever. I am very skilled in swimming and quidditch. I enjoy playing fetch in my human form, making friends, playing sports, and sleeping. I want to either be a quidditch player or a vet." She told them all.
Neville stood up next. "I'm Neville Longbottom. I'm twelve and I am a flora fairy. I am skilled at gardening and potions. My hobbies are hanging out with my friends, drawing with Harry, and gardening. My dream is to work at Davet's Greenhouse."
Next was Harry. "My name is Harry Potter and I am twelve. I am a neko, Asian. I'm skilled in art, potions, charms. My hobbies include doing art, hanging out with friends, hanging out with my mate, and playing with my cat toys." He noticed the envious and angry look Alexa gave him. "I plan on doing art professionally."
After that it was the boy next to him. He was very tan and had some snake-like features. He was bald except for some dark green almost black hair that he had in a ponytail on top of his head. His green eyes were snake-like and outlined in black eyeliner. It was done in an Egyptian way. On his back were dark orange and yellow wings. Red lines could be spotted if one looked close enough.
"I am Asim Hassan. I am twelve and I am a hybrid. I am a naga. The breed is a horned viper. I am also a fire fairy. I can play the flute and cook. I enjoy taking care of my snakes, hanging out with my siblings, playing the flute, and cooking. I want to open a sanctuary for injured animals."
"Would you be offended if I asked you some questions about nagas?" Harry asked. "My uncles adopted one that had been abandoned. His breed is the Egyptian cobra. The healer only gave us some basic information."
"I do not mind at all." He smiled. "I believe it is best to gather information rather than going in blindly."
"Great." He smiled back.
"Can we continue?" Alexa sneered.
"Alexa, that type of attitude is discouraged here." Vivian told her firmly.
"W-what?" She looked at the hybrid in shock.
"You heard me."
"Yes ma'am. I'm sorry." She looked down at her food.
"Good. Let's continue." She said.
Asim sat down and the final boy stood. He was pale with dark brown hair and red eyes. Freckles could be seen scattering his face. He smiled at them.
"Hello. I'm Tyler Troutman. I am twelve and I'm a weretiger. I play the harp and guitar. I also bake. I enjoy all those as well as hanging out with friends. I haven't decided what I want to be in the future." He told them.
"Wonderful." Vivian smiled. "Here is your class schedule. This is a list of clubs second years can join." She handed them out.
"Thank you." The second years said.
"Now I hope you all get along and if you have any problems please come to me. My door is inside the dorm and my name is on the door." She told them.
She left and the group finished eating. Everyone noticed the nasty looks sent Harry's way courtesy of Alexa. Harry ignored it and decided he would tell Vivian or a professor if she tried anything. Soon the group went back to their dorms. Asim went to Harry and Neville's room.
"So your uncle adopted a naga?" He asked.
"Yeah." Harry and Neville explained.
"Wow." He was stunned. "Who did you ask for help?"
"A naga named Silvia Fangs." Neville answered.
"I'm so sorry." He said.
"Why?" He asked.
"She's a jerk. She told everyone she could that if she ever had children she would eat them." He told them.
"Whoa!" That shocked the two.
"Exactly. She hates helping." He said.
"I knew she was awful but I never knew how much." Neville scowled.
"I met her once with my mom and…" Asim shuddered. "She is no longer welcome in our nest."
"I don't want to know." Harry said. "I really don't."
"Me neither." Neville said.
"I couldn't even tell you. Too horrifying." The hybrid said. "Anyway I brought this book and am ready to answer any and all questions." He said.
"Great." Harry smiled at him.
The three chatted for a bit before Asim went back to his own room. After a while they went to eat dinner and then go to bed. The whole time they were in the dining hall Alexa glared at Harry. It was noted by many.
