Marina Sinclair: The Girl Everyone Loves
Let me tell you the stories of Rina, the lovely girl from America and her dear friends. I'll tell you of their wondrous adventures during there stay at Hogwarts: School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. There are a great deal of them to tell but the first of this magnificently funny series begins on her 1st year there. She and her friends (Katalina and Kimara) join Harry and the gang in Gryffindor their 6th year, where in this story, the main Harry Potter conflict is resolved and everyone can enjoy a good time. And yes that means that Sirius and Dumbledore are alive, all the Slytherins and Snape are good guys, and Voldermort is dead.
If you do not enjoy this tough luck because Rina Sinclair is based solely on my friend Megan and I did this for her birthday gift. it's not meant for your entertainment but rather hers and as a coalition for myself, Kim, and Meg of our high school years together.
I will be doing a series of these misguided adventures for various holidays, obviously starting with Rina's birthday at her 1st year as a Hogwarts student. As always a disclaimer goes out to the lovely and brilliant Ms. Rowling (please no one take offense to this story as it's not meant to be). There are also various lyrics and jokes/puns put into this story so a disclaimer for their various owners. There might be credits when all is said and done at the end of this series. Enough chit-chat; to the morning of Rina's 16th birthday…
Gryffindor Girls' Sleeping Quarters-5:56 am.
She stood in an odd shaped room, with strange glowing plants all around her. They seemed to be moving in an eerie sort of way. Being a 6th year witch and an American transfer student, Marina Sinclair was not at the least bit troubled. She knew what she was about and who was to blame for it.
"You can come out now you stupid blunder heads! I know you're here you slimy blue aliens!" She spun around as she heard a sound behind the large lily-like plant.
"We'll come out when we bloody well feel like it, Rina! Besides the Irish are coming as well." A small blue alien that had hair and glasses that looked an awfully lot like Einstein's came out from behind the plant.
"OH no! No, no, no, no, no! I will not allow you and those disturbing GFAL to ruin my birthday. I know I'm crazy I just don't want anyone else seeing me talk to my delusions! At least not on my birthday!" Rina threw her hands heavenward.
"Calm down Lassy!" a red haired little man dressed in green with a green tint to his skin came around to see her.
"Tisn't delusions we be…"
"Aye then what be ye?" Rina asked mocking him.
"Touchy aren't you? Would you like some tea to calm you down?" the blue alien gestured towards a table with a kettle and some teacups set on it.
" No and I'm not touchy I made you both up and he's a green flying AUSTRALIAN leprechaun. Not an Irish one."
"Aye. I know what nationality I am, mate. It's just more enjoyable this way." The leprechaun sniffed, putting on an air of hurt feelings.
"Well, we shan't keep you waiting any longer, love." The blue alien bowed, as did the leprechaun.
"Happy Birthday!" they chorused before suddenly vanishing.
That's when she began to hear a faint voice singing. It grew louder and as it did the room began to spin. Rina wasn't afraid; she realized what was happening, as the words of the song became distinguishable.
"Myia hee myia hoo myia ha myia Ha Ha…"
It was her alarm clock ringing and before her head had even stopped spinning, she had turned it off.
"So it had all been a dream then" she thought to herself. She got up to get dressed and start the new day. As she brushed her hair, that song on her radio alarm clock popped back into her head. She began to hum along in a cheery sort of way. Today was her 16th birthday and she couldn't wait for it to begin so she skipped as she walked down the stairs to the Gryffindor common room.
She was just thinking of what she wanted for breakfast when she looked up to see the room deserted and the lights off.
"How very strange-"she began.
"SURPRISE!" the lights flipped on and out jumped Ginny, Kim, Kate, Harry, and all of Rina's other friends.
"AH!" she screamed in response and put a hand on her heart. "You guys!" She laughed.
"Got ya!" Ginny smiled.
Happy birthdays rang throughout the room and then Kim started to sing it. That's when Kate came out from behind the crowd with a large cake.
" Cake for breakfast, anyone?" she set it down and waved her wand over the table. On it appeared chips, dip, plates, utensils, napkins, cups and beverages of all sorts.
A little while later, when everyone had eaten his or her fill, Neville started the gift giving. Rina had gotten a book about dreams and their meanings from Hermione, a poster of the Chudley Cannons from Ron, a pet turtle from Neville and a CD player from Harry (complete with a pair of magicked headphones). From her two best friends, she received 3 tickets and a backstage pass to the next O-Zone concert. Ginny gave her a new shirt that changed colors to match whatever you wore with it. All in all, she was enjoying her 1st birthday at Hogwarts.
They stayed in the common room until it was time to go off to their first class of the day. Rina groaned as she grabbed her bag and started the long, dreary walk to the dungeons.
"Potions first and on my birthday? Snape is gonna eat me alive." She thought to herself.
Though as she walked into the room, she got the strangest feeling this wasn't going to be a normal class.
A/N read review and tune in for the next chapter please and thank you.
