Chapter number 8 - Jeepers Creepers

Lily and Hugo were sorted into Gryffindor, no surprises there. Although the hat considered Hufflepuff for Hugo, Lily was clear with her feisty attitude and her ability to get out of trouble (even if she got herself in it in the first place). James was very proud but was hit over the head by his cousin when he yelled out, 'another Weasley', as Hugo put on the hat. He was also reminded by Albus that they were Weasley's too causing him to yell out with a thumbs up, 'Hey hat, Lil is a Weasley as well', when it had finished sorting everyone. 

You must imagine everyone's surprise when a group of teenagers walked in to be sorted again. And imagine James' shock as Piper was placed in Slytherin, it made him believe that she might've put some dark magic on him as his last memory, before he woke up, was of her yelling for Leo to be quiet.

"Hey, Gurney, what do you make of her?" James whispered to his friend.

Gurney shrugged, "Don't know mate, they're all weird."

James couldn't argue with that, the guys were all extremely fit, and the girls who were incredibly beautiful seemed like they could fight off a hippogriff with a bad temper. Yet, only three got into Gryffindor.

"I think that Piper chick is hot." Blake says, he had spent the holidays in Australia visiting his grandparents and now had a slight accent.

Cam laughs, "She's taken, didn't you see that hug between her and the blonde dude."

Blake shrugs, "Doesn't change the fact that she's hot."

The guys all laugh and move on but James can't help but wonder, could she really be a dark wizard?

Albus wanted to interrogate the new wizards so bad but he found that the ones in his house were very hard to corner. He tried after the feast and they disappeared down a dead end corridor, he tried in the common room but a whole bunch of people surrounded him, and he tried in the dorm room but the guy was so creepy that he chickened out. Then he tried once more in the morning but, again, chickened out, this time because the girl's intimidating glare left him weak at the knees.

"I swear the four in my house are avoiding me," Albus explains to his family at a study break.

"Yeah, sure, Albus." James scoffs, "Keep telling yourself that."

Albus glares at his brother, "Come on, one of the dudes is creepy as hell and both the girls are super intimidating."

James laughs, "For different reasons too, hey kiddo."

Again, Albus glares at his brother.

"I think they're fine." Hugo mumbles, shuffling a pack of exploding snap.

"Hugo, no!" Lily yells, lunging for the pack of cards.

The pack explodes in Hugo's face, a puff of black power raining down on his head.

Lily looks at him half apologetically, half laughing, "Sorry Huges.  That was meant for James or Albus for ditching us on the train."

Hugo rubs his eyes, smudging the powder, "What is this Lily?"

She smirks, "Sticky goo power, I made the aces so when two touch it sets a chain reaction, ending with the twos that explode with the powder."

Hugo sneezes, "Lily, isn't the goo powder 'just add water' stuff?"

Lily shrugs, "Maybe, why?"

Hugo growls, "Lils, it's going to rain!" He sneezes again.
