"Sorry to interupt people but shouldn`t we be getting on with things?" said Barry

"Actually Sir, I did not know what I was volunteering for when I did so. But I am glad I did. Any chance to be out on a broom," Marco smiled and nodded at the Professor, "It is a shame that some many have not decided to partake in this mission. Especially the teachers. I can only see 5 out of the so many that we have in the school."

"If you want to plan this expedition, then go ahead. If not then be patient and wait for Professor Vindictus. He is deciding how to do this safely, with the help of Mr Juice," Marco hissed at the boy. He was rude enough, without trying to rush things, "If you were here on time you would know this already."

"Well sorry but I wasn`t invited would you mind filling me in" said Barry this was the only person he didn`t like in the school scince an incident in ther Leaky Couldrin.

"Everyone was invited. You obviously weren't at the Quidditch Match," Marco smiled, forcedly, "Well. We are going to either walk or fly around the grounds, searching for the missing students. Professor Vindictus and Mr Juice are looking over a map of the grounds, deciding who goes where. I think Mr Juice, Nurse Numel and Professor Forrester are going to be scouting the ground, while others search the skies."

"Who`s Mr Juice? Yes I wasn`t at the match I had other things to do" said Barry

"He's Mr Juice," Marco said pointing at Ocean. He thought everyone knew this guy, "You are a first year. What other things can you have to do? Everyone attends a Quidditch Match, and it is the first one of the year."

"Thats for me to know" said Barry"And you never to find out I didn`t know he was Mr Juice I thought his name was Ocean"

Cora scowled at the boy who Marco was having a small argument with. She pushed her way towards them, accidently smacking a few people over the head with her broomstick.

"Oi, Marco. Stop getting in a tizzy, we're all nervous, and it helps when you aren't pushing about first years. And you..." She turned to the small boy. "You are a firstie. You don't have any exams, you know VERY basic magic, so what important ordeal could have stopped you from attending the Quidditch match. You are maknig yourself extremely unpopular so help, or go away." She lifted her chin. Gosh, she hadn't sounded so mature in...ever.

Marco sighed and rolled his eyes at the boy. Man he needed to learn his place and some manners.

"A tizzy me?" Marco laughed, "I was merely informing the first year of what was occurring. It isn't my fault he is the most annoying boy in the world." He smiled at Cora. That should tell the boy.

Barry was out raged he would have dualled the boy there and then but he couldn`t he would use his mouth he bit his lip 'I am not annoying what did I do I just said that I didn`t want to tell him what I was doing and that I thought Mr Juice was Oceaon how is that anoying" then he turned to the girl "Do not start on me"

"See I told you," Marco said to Cora, "I do not need to say anymore. He is doing it all himself."

He smiled and looked at the boy, "Barry, you do know that 2 Head of Houses are in this place. My own, and yours. Professor Vindictus is a nice man, he may go easy on you. But Professor Forrester, he doesn't take kindly to people shouting. Especially not at his Slytherins."

"Sorry Marco I should have known better" Barry said sarcasticly and if there wern`t head of Houses there he would have killed Marco. "Just don`t offend me even when I`m not listning"

Marco took a step closer to his Head of House, and also towards Fabian. If he was wedged in between he would have more chance of being defended by the both of them. "I have not attempted to offend you, and especially when you aren't listening. Because what is the fun of offending you, if you aren't there to react?"

"There you admit it" said Barry "That`s all I need to know" Barry opened his mind to the things he was going to do to this boy once Monica and Excillor were back

"I have admitted to what?" Marco frowned. What was this boy talking about? One minute he was shouting, the next he had decided he had all he needed. Stupid first years.

Tia sighed and hoped they would start looking for the missing students soon she was anxious but she knew that waiting until the professors said so she saw a couple slytherins and a ravenclaw she had seen in diagon alley chatting and wished that she had more friends to chat to

"Nothing Marco nothing" said Barry already disracted he whispered "I`m not stupid"

Marco frowned, "I never said you were stupid." He had never said that, so where had this boy gotten it from. He blinked and caressed his broom handle. It was smooth, perfect to the touch. He had inscribed its name in it. Thunderbird 1. And quite right to. It deserved that name, for it flew like one.

"I never said you did Marco" Barry said calmly thinking about putting worms in his food

"Then why did you say that?" This boy was getting more confusing by the second. Marco sighed and returned to caressing his broom. It was perfect. And to think there are only two in existence.

"It doesn`t matter Marco" Barry said imagining him bieng expelled

Cora frowned. Okaaay. Now she was lost. Was this first year rambling to purposely fuzzle up her brain? She stared at Marco, and raised her eyebrows.

"Er...okaay." She said, slowly.

"You ok Cora?" Marco asked, seeing her staring at him. He was totally confused himself. Maybe first years had their own secret language.

Cora frowned and nodded, yet scratched her head a little. She nodded towards the first year and shrugged her shoulders at Marco.

"When do you think he'll return to the mother ship?" She mouthed, grinning

"I am hoping in the next five minutes," Marco laughed, "But knowing my luck, he won't go at all. They probably left him here because they don't want him on that ship."
