The train came to a halt, the white steam emitting from its chimney seeming as if it were clouds. It than hooted signaling the students to get off and so they did.

Taurus' POV

Virgo, Cap and I stood in front of the magic carriage which pulled itself. Our eyes filled with excitement as we were only a few minutes away from finally getting to Hogwarts.

"Do you not see that?" Virgo asked out of the blue, her gaze trained on the carriage. "See what?" Cap questioned. She tore her eyes away from the carriage and looked at us, her eyes searching for something. She turned back to where she was looking and seemed to be in a daze, she went closer to the front and seemed to be waving her right hand in a manner as if petting an animal of some sort.

I looked towards Capricorn, his eyes reflecting the worry and confusion which were held in mine, he went forward and grabbed Virgo's arm gently. "C'mon let's go, everyone else is already on their way" he said in a gentle tone. I than looked around and noticed that we three were the only ones left "Yeah Cap's right, let's go" I said motioning towards the carriage. I gave Virgo one last glance and got on as an eerie silence enveloped us.

________________________________

The Great Hall as ever justified its appellation with its magnificent ceiling illuminating the night sky and the hall itself being lit by the light from a thousand candles. Four long tables were set each for one house with benches on either side, there were empty plates and chalices soon to be filled with the delicious food prepared by the Hogwarts' house elfs.

On the anterior of the hall were seated the very teachers of Hogwarts with Dumbledore in the middle with his signature white beard and a smile on his face. In front of them stood the great Sorting Hat.

The hall was filled with chatter as the students reunited with each other after a long time but it soon died down as the huge double doors opened and in came Professor McGonagall with the first years trotting behind, their eyes reflecting varying emotions ranging from enchantment, enthusiasm, curiosity, nervousnes, confidence and so on.

Taurus' POV

*After the ceremony*

The sorting ceremony soon came to end and I was greeted with the delicious smell of food.

Everything seemed to be back to normal.
Virgo seemed okay now, she and Cap were arguing like an old married couple, something regarding to politics, I couldn't care less about, I was too busy with my food.

I felt someone watching me, I looked ahead at the other table and was met with deep green eyes, the same ones I saw at King's Cross station. He caught me staring and smirked to which I glared, Ugh i hate this guy

He wiped his face with a napkin and than looked away. I sent one last glare his way and took a big gulp of water and than set my eyes on Virgo and Cap as I decided to join in their conversation completely forgetting about my exchange with Scorpio for the rest of the night.

The next day

Girls dormitory, Hufflepuff

Virgo's POV

I opened my eyes and rubbed them, checking the clock I found it was just 5:30 am, well let's get ready for the day since I'm up. After all its the first day.

I got off the bed and heard light snores from beside me, Taurus is still asleep.

I entered the washroom trying to make as little sound as i could, because Taurus is grumpy in the morning and I'm not making the mistake of waking her up.

Seeing my appearance in the mirror, I noticed that my eyes were bloodshot red. I sighed, I didn't get any sleep the other night, all I could think of was the mysterious creature pulling the carriage which I've never seen before.

From what I remember, it was a very skinny horse like creature but not a single hair on its skin, it had two horns emerging from its head, two magnificent wings and a long tail almost reaching the ground.

But the question was, why was I the only one who could see it? When I looked at Taur and Cap, they were staring at me as I was crazy, they couldn't see it.

I took a handful of water and splashed my face with it. The cold water felt cool on my warm face, giving me a sense of relief.

I need to clear my head.

___________________________

The cold September breeze tickled my skin as I strolled through the Hogwarts' grounds.

I did my best but couldn't help but think about this year's O.W.Ls .
Every fifth year student has to take Transfiguration, Potions, Charms, Defence against the Dark Arts, History of Magic, Astronomy and Herbology and have to select any 2 from Arithmacy, Care of Magical Creatures, Divinition, Study of Ancient Runes and Muggle Studies of their choice. I took Arithmacy and Care of magical creatures because I can't stand divinition, in no sense is it useful, I mean when in the
fu-

My thoughts were interrupted when I heard a familiar voice call my name "Hey Virgo" Pisces said as he gave a small laugh. I felt my face go red, "What're you laughing at?" I questioned. He chuckled "You seem to be deep in thought" he said totally ignoring my question "yeah, I was just thinking" I replied slowly.

"Bout what?" he inquired, I could see curiosity in his eyes as he tilted his head to the side. "Just some stuff...by the way what're you doing here so early?" I asked realising it was only quater to 6. "Just writing" he shrugged "and I could ask you the same" he said while wiggling his eyebrows.

"Well..." I trailed off realising how close he was standing that I could feel his warm breath on my face.

I than noticed his features for the first time, he had freckles near his nose, his green eyes had specks of gold and his hair wasn't exactly black but a shade of dark brown.

"Virgo?" he questioned, I shook my head and took a step back and grabbed his hand, guiding him through a path I've come to be familiar with.

"Where are we going?" He asked, his voice laced with confusion, I looked at him dead in the eye and asked "Do you trust me?,"

"Yes" he whispered, his voice light as a feather, his eyes staring back at mine with the intensity.

Meanwhile

Gryffindor common room

Sagittarius' POV

I was currently in the Gryffindor common room, sitting directly opposite to the fireplace, still in my PJs, quietly sipping my coffee while the flames reflected in my eyes. It's nearly 6 am and I am bored.

Aires and Leo are asleep and I'm pretty sure they will be for awhile.

I sighed as the contents of the cup were completely emptied, time for and adventure, I smiled to myself.

_______________________

As I peeked inside the Great Hall, I saw a familiar brunette scribbling something in what appeared to be a diary of some sort.
He wasn't in his robe but was rather dressed casually, his hair tousled and his reading glasses on.

Having no one else awake, I decided to approach him.

"Hey Gemini" I greeted enthusiastically, he jumped in surprise and seemed to hide the notebook. "Oh its you" he sighed dramatically. "Yeah, who else?" I laughed as I plopped myself beside him.
"Why were you being so jumpy?" I asked
"You startled me" he said simply, removing his glasses. "Oh...well what were you writing?" I asked at which he tensed. "Um...nothing, just some..." he trailed off. I looked at him expectantly, urging him to continue.

"By the way, what are you doing here so early in the morning? He changed the subject, I decided to let it go, I'll find out about it later.

"Woke up early, decided to have an adventure" I shrugged.

"Adventure?" He raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, do you wanna accompany me?" I asked as I got up

"Sure"

☼︎☼︎☼︎☼︎☼︎☼︎

Virgo's POV

As I strolled with Pisces on the familiar path, I noticed our hands were still conjoined making me blush.

"You look so cute when you blush" he said softly to which I blushed even harder.

"Eh...ummm...we're here" I said removing my hands from him and skipping to the tall tree whose lower part was covered with a dense undergrowth.

I pointed at the tree, feeling awkward, my face was still hot and I couldn't seem to meet his eyes. He looked at me, a smirk forming on his face seeing my flushed state but than his face morphed with confusion "ummm...this is it?"

"No idiot, we've to walk through this tree" I said giving out a small giggle. He hit his head "ofcourse" he said smiling and proceeded to take my hand back in his, this time holding it tighter but still cautiously.

He looked at me, staring back at him I nodded.

Giving his hand a squeeze I walked through for the millionth time but this time not alone.

Meanwhile

Sagittarius' POV

We stood at the covered bridge. My eyes darting downwards towards the valley on which stood the wooden bridge.

"Um so what now?" I heard Gemini ask beside me. "I don't know" I replied
He widened his eyes "What do you mean I don't know?"

I sighed "okay okay calm down, do you wanna go to Hogsmeade?" I asked
He raised an eyebrow "If you wanted to go to Hogsmeade than why did we come here?" he asked with a tinge of irritation.

"Look in front of you" I simply said pointing towards the morning sun.

There was water below us which shimmered slightly, reflecting the slight sunlight. It looked magical

His eyes left mine and he did as I told
"Its beautiful" he said softly

Now it was my time to be confused "You've never been here before?" I questioned
He turned his attention back to me "I have...but I never appreciated it...I guess" he said a genuine smile covering his face

I smiled back "Well I guess that's changed now" I said taking his arm and pulling him with me.

________________

"Have you ever been to the shrieking shack?" I asked as we strolled down the empty streets of Hogsmeade. It was still early in the morning and no one seemed to be awake just yet.

He looked at me, shock I recognised
"No"

"Ah" I smirked. "You've heard bout the rumours eh?" I questioned examining his face. He than gave me a look "I've and I don't believe them, I just think that place is filthy" he said scrunching his nose.

"What do you mean filthy?" I asked testing him further.

"I mean no one has been there since forever so I presume it wouldn't be the most..." he looked at me with a raised brow "hygienic" he finished.

I just smirked "yeah sure" I said sarcastically.
"I mean it" he said frustration etched on his face. "I believe you" I said smiling.

He seemed fed up "Fine! I'll go to Shrieking Shack...but just to prove you that I do not believe in the rumors" he said and dragged me along.

I smiled to myself, I guess now I know how to get things done from Gemini.

Meanwhile

Pisces' POV

"This place is beautiful Virgo" I said as my eyes darted around soaking the beauty of the unfamiliar location.

There was a large patch of land covered entirely with flowers of varying colors. As I looked around I saw a pretty blue flower but what really caught my attention was the fact that it was surrounded by similar flowers but they weren't blue but were all pink.

"Hey Pisces" Virgo asked "yeah" I replied acknowledging her.
"Do you wanna meet my friends?" She asked
I was confused what does she mean by friends

"Friends?"

"Yeah" she smiled mysteriously

She took the lead as I trailed behind her examining my surroundings. There were tall trees around blocking the view of the sky, I felt strangely at peace in the unfamiliar surroundings.

Virgo finally stopped as we stood in front of what appeared a to be a fallen tree, it had moss and shrubs covering it, making its appearance green and slimy.

She bent down and seemed so whisper some incoherent words inside the tree. I was beyond lost now, what is she doing?
Does she talk to trees?
Is she a...tree whisperer?
O my god she it, isn't she I thought looking at her.

She got up smiling widely, from behind her a small creature appeared

A Fairy

Guess she isn't a tree whisperer.

__________________________

A/N : *sighs* so I finally completed the 2nd chapter yay!
I know there weren't all the signs but I promise they will get equal spotlight.
Well let me know what you think, I read all the comments and feel free to point out my mistakes.

And thank you for 2.9k reads, really means a lot :,)

And if you noticed I didn't say 'Read and Comment' at the end of the chapter, that's cause I realised it's stupid because you've already read the chapter so what's the point of saying 'Read' and I didn't just wanna say 'Comment' cause that'll sound akward so I got rid of the whole thing. Hahhah sorry I had to rant about it heh. I'll think of something new but for now

Have a nice day (or night)
