Chapter 1
A New Year Begins!
It was the year 2001 and Zander Stevens was looking out of the Hogwarts express window and waving good bye to his family in London.
"When you stare out of the window like that you look like a total sapp you know." Brooke Edwards said smirking at him from where she sat across from him. Zander rolled his eyes and turned to face Brooke who was sitting next to his other good friend Iris Rogers who was sitting next to Brooke and humming some Muggle pop song.
"I'm ever so sorry Brooke I'll try harder to look more intimidating next time." Zander replied wistfully while beaming at Brooke.
"You know my life would be a lot easier if you two argued less." Iris said rummaging in her bag looking for her Sharpie Pens because she was determined to sketch a view from the window of the train but with Zander and Brooke arguing it looked like it would be a long ride. Zander smirked and leaned back in his seat just as the compartment door opened and the fourth member of their group of friends walked in. Melody Fisher came in with Iris' chocolate frogs and Brooke's jelly beans. She handed them to her friends then took a seat next to Zander. Zander was glaring at Brooke with his messed up black hair and red streaks sticking up in all directions. His eyes were a orangey brown colour and he looked dead serious as he spoke to Brooke. Zander is part vampire. So he can turn into a bat at anytime. Since Zander is just 14 he can't always control his powers. So, when he is angry he turns into a bat and nobody can take him seriously.
"Ooo! I got Hermione Weasley!" said Iris picking up the card and wiping the chocolate off of it and then eating the chocolate frog. Iris' loves collecting the cards in the chocolate frogs she has almost all of the ones out now. Iris isn't a girly girl but really loves fashion and art.
"Hey that's not true, besides if it was I was only a first year!" Zander cried suddenly glaring at Brooke who was smirking triumphantly across from him.
"What are you two arguing about now?" Melody sighed looking between the two.
"Probably something stupid like always." smirked Iris looking up from her drawing only for a second. Melody continued reading her new books that they had to buy this year while the other two just continued their argument with no other care in the world. Just then there was a knock on the door and Brooke got up to open it, it turned out to be the candy trolley.
"WE ALREADY BOUGHT YOUR CANDY!" Brooke yelled slamming the compartment door closed and sat back down.
"Gee that was mean." Melody said looking up from her book.
"Well maybe it's someone's time of the month." Zander replied with a cheeky grin. Brooke turned around and gave him a death glare.
"You say one more thing and I'll kill you slowly and painfully!" she growled punching him hard in his shoulder before Iris pulled her back into her seat.
"Well aren't you just a ray of sunshine!" Zander beamed purposely riling Brooke up. Brooke poked her tongue out her emerald green eyes narrowing at him. After this argument the girls started talking about everything they wanted to do that year while Zander started writing a letter to his parents.
A couple hours later they thought that it was a good time to change into their Hogwarts robes. During that time Melody had finished reading all of her new books they needed for the year, Brooke came up with really good pranks most of them for Slytherins or Zander, Iris had finished her sketch of the landscape and designed a new dress and Zander finished his letter to his parents and went to check on his sister that was going to get sorted soon. Just as Zander was walking back into the compartment where his friends were, the train came to a halt and the sound of doors sliding open filled the train signaling that they had arrived at Hogwarts.
"We're here!" Zander cried grabbing his trunk and heading to the door the three girls following with their trunks rolling behind them.
The four fifth years got off the train looking at Hogwarts from a distance with the forest and the night sky surrounding it. They then walked and over to the carriages that were pulled by thestrals but none of them could see the thestrals.
"I can't wait for Emily to be sorted, I hope she's a Gryffindor like us." Zander said in the carriage then looking over his shoulder to where the first years were riding the boats across the lake behind them looking around nervously. Emily was Zander's little sister who was going to be starting her first year.
"Your lucky that you're not the youngest." Brooke said running her hand through her long honey blonde hair. Brooke was the youngest in her family she had four older brothers and no sisters.
"It's actually not that fun being one of the eldest."Melody replied her eyes which were currently bright purple staring out into the forest. They were getting closer to the school.
"Yeah you have a lot of responsibility looking after the younger ones." Zander.
"Yeah but if you're the youngest then you get babied a lot." Iris replied. Iris was also the youngest in her family, well kind of she had a twin brother who was twin five minutes older.
"Yeah it must be so hard for you Iris, to have a sibling that is so much older than you and has so many more privileges." said Zander sarcastically.
Iris just glared at him not bothered to get into a fight like Brooke would. Brooke started to laugh and then suddenly the thestrals came to a stop and they were right outside of Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft And Wizardry. They stepped out of the carriage and looked around. They all raced to the Great Hall so they could have good seats and see all of the scared first years that were about to be sorted.
"Bye guys." Iris said waving to them as she walked over to the Ravenclaw table. All of her friends watched her then saw that there was a new girl that looked like she when in her fifth year. This was very unusual because you usually stay at one school from your first year till seventh. The three friends talked about where this girl could have come from when Professor Longbottom walked in with the first years trailing behind him.
"Look there's Emily!" Zander whispered excitedly elbowing Brooke in the side to get her attention.
"I know I'm not blind." Brooke replied irritably. Professor Longbottom reached the staff table and placed the sorting hat which he had been holding on the stool, then he pulled out a sheet of parchment and started reading names off of it.
"Christian, Jeremy" he read out. Zander stopped a little way into the sorting Emily's sorting wouldn't be until the end because her last name started with a S. Zander instead focused his attention on the new girl at the Ravenclaw table. She had long black hair, a pale heart shaped face and big hazel eyes. She was actually rather pretty.
"Who do you think she is?" Melody whispered from Zanders right.
"I don't know, but she's definitely not a first year." Brooke said from his other side eyeing the girl up and down suspiciously.
"Stevens, Emily!" Professor Longbottom called out. Emily nervously walked up to the three legged stool and sat down. Professor Longbottom placed the sorting hat on her head, it slipped down a bit and covered her eyes. The hall waited patiently for a couple of second before the hat yelled out,
"Gryffindor!" Emily happily jumped of the stool and bounded over to the Gryffindor table waving to Zander who was sitting further down the table.
"Now I know that you're all probably wondering why we have a new student sitting at the Ravenclaw table, Everyone this is Madison Carter she's in her fifth year."
Mcgonagall announced "She was sorted into Ravenclaw over the summer, she was homeschooled until now and I would appreciate it if you all tried to make her feel right at home." A soon as she said this the Gryffindor's could hear the snickers at the Slytherin table, they were obviously going to make this as hard as possible. "Now Tuck In!" Mcgonagall finished with a stern look at the Slytherin table. Everybody started eating frantically not wanting to waste a crumb.
"So, what do you guys think of that new girl Madison?" asked Brooke between a mouth full of chicken.
"Umm... she's pretty." Zander said quickly but then regretting it because Brooke started to eye him suspiciously.
"Well, it seems like Iris is getting to know her well so I guess she'll have to tell us before we go off to bed." said Melody looking at the Ravenclaw table where Iris and Madison looked like they were having a friendly conversation. All the food suddenly vanished and desert was on the table.
"My favourite time." said Brooke eyeing the food before she started digging in. Zander just rolled his eyes before he picked up a piece of pie. Melody started having a bowl of pudding and they started to talk about who they thought would make it onto the Quidditch team this year.
At the Ravenclaw table Iris had sat down next to the new girl Madison. They soon started a conversation and realized that they were actually into a lot of the same things and probably become really good friends. At the moment the two girls were eating pumpkin pie and showing each other some designs they had drawn for clothes.
"Wow, your dark colour themes are really nice." exclaimed Iris flipping through Maddie's (as her friends called her) sketch book.
"Thanks. I am more into the darker colours. But your bright coloured dresses are so fantastic." declared Madison with a sparkle in her eyes.
"I really hope I share a dorm with you. We are going to be best friends!" she blurted out excitedly.
"Yah, I think you will be because there have only ever been four people in my dorm - the bed next to me is empty. We are going to be such good friends!" replied Iris just as excitedly. The two girls squealed and got some stares from some other people in Ravenclaw.
"I can introduce you to my other best friends in Gryffindor before we go off to bed. Now I have a friend in Ravenclaw. You see, I always had to sneak into the Gryffindor common room to see my friends but now I don't." Iris was practically jumping in her seat now.
Across the room back at the Gryffindor table the three friends were watching Madison and Iris squeal and jump around. The girls liked imitating people's conversations so they did that with Maddie and Iris. Zander just listened and laughed while eating his fourth piece of pie.
Once the desert vanished Professor Mcgonagall announced that it was time for the students to go to bed. Everyone suddenly got up and rushed to the entrance of the great hall. Iris stayed behind with Madison because she could see Zander, Brooke and Melody coming towards them. When the three reached the Ravenclaw table Iris introduced everyone.
"Madison this is Zander Stevens," started Iris, "Melody Fisher and Brooke Edwards."
looking at Madison but pointing at the three fifth years standing there awkwardly. Iris turned to her three friends and said, "This is Madison Carter, just in case you didn't hear Professor McGonagall. After everyone exchanged hellos and how are yous the three Gryffindor's started to the Gryffindor tower while the Iris and Maddie went to the Ravenclaw tower. When Zander, Brooke and Melody got to the painting of the fat lady and said the password: hazelnut. Melody and Brooke said goodnight and went to the girls dormitory while Zander went to the boys dormitory. Zander shared a room with three of his guys friends: Iris's brother Tyler Rogers, Austin Blue and Will Carver. They also had an empty bed in their dorm because there weren't as many people in their year. Brooke and Melody shared a dorm with each other and: Grace Mcalister, Annie Hughes and Hailey Ward. The girls were friends with Hailey and liked to hangout with her. Annie and Grace were super close, they are nice but really only if you are in their circle which the girls definitely weren't. When they reached the dorm Hailey greeted them with a warm hello and hug. Annie and Grace looked up from their unpacking and said hi then went back to gossiping about Godric knows what. The girls that rolled their eyes and started to unpack.
In the boys dorm Zander walked in and got a lot of 'what's up man' and slaps on the back from his friends. After he said hi to everyone he went to his trunk and started to unpack while he caught up with his boys.
Iris and Madison were walking up to the Ravenclaw common room which was in the highest tower in the castle. Iris explained to Madison that different house had different common rooms, entrances and different kinds of passwords.
"For example the Gryffindor common room is guarded by the fat lady and they just have a plain old password." remarked Iris
"How do you know this?" asked Maddie, "I thought that only the people in the house were supposed to know the entrance and password."
"Yah but my friends told me so I could sneak into the common room whenever I wanted." replied Iris.
"But, the Ravenclaw common room is in the highest tower in the castle." continued Iris, "It is secured by riddles that only people that are smart and intelligent - so basically only Ravenclaw - will be able to figure out." As Iris finished they came to the entrance of the common room.
"You have a lemon slice, a bowl of water, a glass and a match you have to get the water into the glass without touching the bowl how would you do this?" The eagle doorknob asked.
"You'd put the lemon in the middle of the bowl and then light the match and put it on top of the lemon then put the cup over it and the water will go into the cup" Iris answered easily.
"Wow." stuttered Madison amazed as the door opened.
"This is the common room." said Iris looking around, "To the left is the boys dormitories and to the right is the girls." Iris started going towards the stairs to her dorm, Maddie following quietly behind.
Iris' dorm was the second door from the stairs. Her other roommates were already there unpacking. They all looked up and said hi, two of them came to give Iris a hug, catch up and meet Madison. The other girl just stayed where she was waiting for her friends to come back. The girl that didn't like Iris was named Alice Hills. She is very smart but also a rich stuck up snob. She never really liked Iris because she was friends with people in Gryffindor, but that was still no excuse. The other two girls that were now talking to Madison were Alice's best friends, just more friendly. They liked Iris and were always nice to her but they never really became close because Alice was their friend. Their names were Paisley Anderson and Leah Turner. After they were all caught up Iris showed Madison where her bed was. She was right in between Alice and Iris. After they got settled in and finished unpacking Iris and Maddie sat on Iris' bed and started talking about fashion. After about 45 minutes of talking they got a little off topic.
"So the tall skinny guy with the messed up black hair with bits of red in it and greenish orangy eyes," paused Maddie taking a breath, "is named Zander?" asked Maddie.
"Yes." answered Iris.
"Then the girl with honey blonde hair that is straight and goes down to waist and has emerald green eyes is named Brooke." asked Maddie again flustered from talking so fast.
"Yes." answered Iris again.
"So then the last girl is reddish brown hair that is straight and goes just past her shoulders and has greenish brown eyes is Melody?" asked Maddie again adding, "but she can change her appearance so I shouldn't count on it."
"Yes." answered Iris again, "Now, can you please show me how to sketch those gloves that are on this design." asked Iris pointing to one Madison's sketches.
"Of course! Sorry I know I got off topic I just wanted to make sure I had their names right before I started calling them weird things and making a bad impression." Maddie said with a weak smile.
"Yeah, it's fine. By the way you know you can pause and breath between words." replied Iris without looking up from her sketch book.
"Sorry again. I forget to breath and start talking fast when I am nervous or scared." smiled Maddie and then showing Iris how to draw the gloves.
An hour later the girls were tucked up in bed with the lights off and saying their good nights.
"It has been a really great day!" whispered Maddie as she closed her eyes.
"Yeah, it really has." Iris whispered back and then falling to sleep and dreaming about what good things that year ahead would bring.
