Garfield

"Woah. This castle is huge!" I say. Rae Rae rolls her eyes beside me, and pets her cat thing. What was its name again? Lori? I think that's it. Key word: think.

"Just wait until you see the inside," R0n tells me.

"You'll probably get lost in it  a  lot the first few weeks.  Ron and Harry here still get lost," Hermione says. Raven and Dick do that thing where they make eye contact and smirk at each other, like they're laughing over a private joke.

"They're doing it again," Victor mumbles under his breath.

"Doing what, Friend Victor?" Kori asks.

"That thing where they're laughing at us," he tells her. Dick rolls his eyes.

"We are not laughing at you," Dick says.

"Yet," Rae adds. I smirk and put my arm around Rae Rae's shoulders, only to reassure myself that she's here. She's here, and she's safe.

"So judgy," I tease.

"Are you the exchange students?" an old woman asks us. Dick nods.

"Yes, ma'am. And you are?" he retorts.

"Professor McGonagall," she says. "Please follow me."



Hermione

After the sorting ceremony, right before everyone bursts into chatter, Dumbledoor clears his throat.

"We have two announcements. One, we would like to introduce you all to our exchange students, Dick Grayson, Kori Anders, Victor Stone, Garfield Logan, and Rachel Roth," Dumbledore says. "Would you please come forward?"

All of the new kids shuffle in front of everyone, and I see that Gar still has his arm on Rachel's shoulders.

"See. If she was evil, she wouldn't let Gar still be touching her," I say, nudging Harry.

"I don't think she's evil anymore," he admits.

"Good. I finally have someone who enjoys reading, and I won't have it ruined by the likes of you two," I threaten. Both Harry and Ron swallow nervously.

"They've already been sorted into Gryffindor," Dumbledore says. Our table cheers, and they walk over. They sit next to us.

"As for the second announcement, I'm proud to announce that Hogwarts is hosting the Triwizard tournament this year, for the first time in...a while!" Dumbledore exclaims.

"What? But that was canceled because of the danger," I hiss under my breath.

"Please welcome the other schools!" Dumbledore yells.



Dick

"Don't even think about entering, Garfield Logan," I hear Rachel growl. He swallows. We're in the special dorms we got, because Bruce told Dumbledore who we are. No one else is here, and we have a small common area for just us, and each have our own rooms.

"I don't know what you're talking about," he lies. She rolls her eyes.

"If you're going to lie, at least be good about it. Besides, we're all too young to enter. And even if we did, we all know who would be the winner," Rachel adds. Victor grins.

"That's right. It would be me," he says, flexing. She snorts.

"Nope. Take another guess."

"Dick?" Garfield asks. Me and Rachel make eye contact as she shakes her head.

"Kori," we both say in synch. Kori looks up from her meal.

"What? Friend Dick, friend Rachel, why would I be the winner?" Kori asks.

"You're kidding right? You're an alien princess who was trained by warlords. You're by far the strongest, can fly, have laser eyes, and can do a bunch of other stuff. You'd win, no challenge," Rachel says. I nod along with her. Victor and Garfield exchange glances with each other, then nod as well. No use trying to deny it. Kori is the most powerful, most beautiful, most kind woman I've ever met.

Actually, she's not the most powerful. That would be Rachel.

But she is super awesome. Rachel smirks at me, and I realize she can feel my emotions right now. I'm one hundred percent aware that my face turns  bright red. Garfield looks at me as well. He looks like he's about to burst out laughing.

So, I do the only natural thing. I wait until Rachel looks away, then mouth Rachel and make a heart with my hands.

He flushes. Yep, that's right. I'm completely aware of his crush on our hooded half-demon friend. I smirk at him.
