Aleka

"Hey are you new here?" said a brunette girl as she walked up to Aleka's seat. "I mean you don't look like a first year, but I have never seen you before." The girl had pretty blue eyes that were surrounded by a ton of black eyeliner. She had a very tan complexion, and she was physically fit.

"Yeah, I am," said Aleka, "I um, transferred."

"Well, hi," said the girl, "My name is Erica."

"I'm Aleka," said Aleka. "Hey I was wondering if you could possibly tell me what I am supposed to do with this stuff. And what is Slytherin?" she asked that because she was so curious what that meant after she had seen it on Xavier's id.

"O Slytherin is the house I'm in. Hogwarts has four houses: Slytherin, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Gryffindor. Slytherin and Gryffindor are the two main houses," said Erica. "The other two are where they put the people that will never amount to anything. You may want to keep away from Gryffindor too. They are a bunch of goody goodies who think that they are so great because Harry Potter was in their house." Aleka hadn't ever heard of Harry Potter, but she could save that question for later. Erica went on. "O, and speaking of Slytherin, Xavier, who is in my house, said that there are these two idiots on the train. One is a lunatic because she thinks she is a pirate, and the other he said is just a loser who can never sit still." Aleka looked away. So Xavier had wanted a little revenge had he? Well, Aleka could not leave this alone.

"They sound like total losers," she said. Erica looked at Twitch.

"Is this your friend?" she asked. Immediately everything started to sink in for Erica. She looked from Twitch, whose eye was twitching uncontrollably, to Aleka. "O bejesus," exclaimed Erica. "You're the two he was talking about. Well you sure don't seem like a lunatic."

"Thanks, I guess," Aleka said.

"You know what?" questioned Erica. "Xavier has played his share of jokes on me. I am ready for a little payback. What do you say? Just for the fun of it and the satisfaction of seeing him kicked off his high horse for a few minutes. I am sorry we got off to a bad start, but I have just gotten the best inspiration. Please say that you'll help me."

"Sure," said Aleka a bit surprised by Erica's straightforwardness. "What do you want me to do?" Erica told her the plans. "Sounds good," said Aleka. She thought for a moment about how this would affect her future at Hogwarts. She didn't mind too much. Besides, they are the ones who sent for her. She deserved a little fun anyways. Plus, she had one friend to stick it out with if all did not go well when she got to the school.

The train had finally arrived at Hogwarts. Erica explained to Aleka about everything that Xavier had given her: the wand, the robes, and the caged owl. Aleka was ready. She thought it was kind of stupid that they had to where these funny-looking robes, but everybody else did, so it wasn't too embarrassing. Plus, these robes are what made her and Erica's plan possible.

They got off of the train together. Erica had explained the whole plan to Aleka. Before they could pull it off, Erica gave Aleka a short magic lesson because Aleka obviously knew very little about it. Erica also gave her a spell to say. Twitch would never be able to figure out magic, so he volunteered to carry the girl's trunks for them. Erica made sure that they were the first to step off the train so that they could hide behind a nearby tree and execute their plan. They watched as about 100 kids stepped off the train. There were all kinds of different people with different ages and different races. Finally, Xavier stepped off the train.

"Are you ready," said Erica. Aleka nodded. "Let's go then. Remember wave your wand in a circular motion."

"Right," said Aleka. She started to recite the spell. "Mencissio garmentho threadissia. Mencissio garmentho threadissia." They watched intently as a small thread at the bottom of Xavier's robe started to unravel. They couldn't unravel the whole thing, otherwise Xavier would've known that it had been magic that had done it. A big chunky guy behind Xavier accidentally stepped on the thread. Xavier's whole robe became unraveled, exposing only his undergarments. The girls just gaped at his nice body, but the boys erupted in laughter.

"What did I tell you?" whispered Erica as she giggled, "He only where's his knickers under his robe." Aleka found that odd, but extremely funny. She giggled along with Erica. Xavier pulled what was left of his robe up to cover himself, and looked around wildly. In the corner of his eye, he caught the flash of red streaked black hair.

"This is war pirate girl," he thought to himself. "You don't know who you are messing with.
