Meanwhile, Alex Taylor (the girl with the group of people) and the rest of her Quidditch team had tied their trunks and pets onto their Firebolt X-2s*.

"We might as well get to flying or we'll miss the feast," she said.

"Yeah, I can't imagine missing all that grub!" the tall guy agreed.

"Is that ALL you think about?" said another girl with short, red hair.

"No," the tall guy said. "Sometimes I think about Quidditch. Oh, and girls, too."

A tall blonde girl rolled her eyes and folded her arms over her chest. "Men. Typical."

"WILL YOU KNOCK IT OFF AND GET YOUR BOOTIES ON YOUR BROOMS!" Alex, the brunette, yelled. She shot off into the air and began flying down the tracks, leaving the others in the dust.

By a series of strange and unexplainable events, Tepeu and Gore eventually made it into the sky, although...

"Fly, Gore! Fly like the wind!" Tepeu screamed as she dangled from one of Gore's feet, hanging on for dear life, as he sat on the broom and frantically flapped his arms up and down.

"I'm flying, dammit! Just shut up, will you?!" he yelled, trying to re-adjust his sun-glasses and keep them in the air.

For the passengers on the train, the trip was uneventful and seemed to go by quickly. Before they knew it, they had arrived at Hogwarts and were strolling in the halls of the castle, going towards the Great Hall.

The crowd of first-years nervously chattered behind the doors to the Great Hall. The rest of the school sat waiting at the long tables, anxiously awaiting the first-years... and food.

McGonagall finally opened the doors and led the nervous first-years into the Great Hall and began their sorting. Once the sorting was complete, Professor Dumbledore stood up and began his speech.

"Welcome to another year at Hogwarts! To all first-year students, I hope for you to have a prosperous year, but I must inform you that the Dark Forest is forbidden under any or all circumstances. As for the other rules, they are posted in Mr. Filch's office for your reading pleasure. This year, we are honored to host this year's Quidditch Cup, due to a strange accident at the usual stadium involving a feather and shrunken elephant. So please be curtious to our guests. Now, dig in!"

The headmaster clapped his hands and the golden plates filled with food.

Ron immediately began stuffing his face with food, impairing his ability to carry on a conversation.

Hermione glanced up at the staff table. "Snape's missing. I wonder where he is? It's never a good thing if he's gone..."

After a while, the feast was interrupted by a knocking on the wooden doors. Suddenly, they burst open to reveal the Quidditch team from Platform 9 3/4.

The brunette, Alex, grinned and threw her arms out, yelling, "Luuuuuuuucy! I'm hooooooooooooome!" She ran through the Great Hall and stopped in front of Dumbledore. "What's happening, Pops?"

As soon as the students' laughter died down, Dumbledore smiled and stood up. "This is my adopted granddaughter, Alex Taylor, captain of the American Quidditch team," he said.

Hagrid ran over to her after knocking over his chair and greeted her with one of his famous bear-hugs, releasing her when she said she couldn't breathe.

A note about the Firebolt X-2:
The Firebolt X-2 was supposed to be the Firebolt2 (squared). In other words, it's the new model of the Firebolt.

A note about Alex Taylor:
Alex Taylor is Miss Valerious's character, not mine, so don't complain to me if you don't like her character.

A note about Tepeu:
Tepeu is my character, so if you don't like her, I don't care. So nyah.

A note about Gore:
Well... he was sorta-kinda-not-really-maybe based off of the Gore from Life of Riley... heh. Except he's not a vampire. Just a guy who happens to have pale skin and red eyes.
