Proloue

After waving goodbye to their families, Al and Rose walked along the corridor looking for their friends and a compartment. Suddenly, a small girl with dirty-blond hair crashed into Albus, knocking him back into Rose, who just managed to stay standing.

"Hey guys! Sorry for knocking you over, but Davie said to get you. We're in the last compartment." Straitening up, the small girl grinned.

"I'm Peach, David's sister. You know, David Thomas?"

"Oh! David's sister! I remember, you were too ill to come to the reunion party with your family. I'm Rose, by the way. And this," she said, pointing to a slightly dazed Albus, "is Al. Albus, you remember Luna, Dean and David don't you?" Coming to his senses, Al grinned and said, "Yeah, 'course I do! It's nice to meet you, Peach. Shall we go into the compartment, then?"

"Ok!" The three kids walked along the corridor until they reached the last compartment.

Albus went in first and sat next to David, who was sitting by the window. Peach sat on Al's other side and Rose sat on the other side of the compartment next to a girl with dark brown hair, who was staring avidly out of the window. The girl appeared completely oblivious to everyone else in the compartment.

"Hello, my name is Rose Weasley. What's yours?" The girl turned around.

She was beautiful. Her hair was long and silky black with a gentle curl. Her nose was perfectly centred and straight, her lips were full and a soft pink. She had high cheekbones and long eyelashes. But her most amazing feature was her eyes. They were piercing orbs of blue that seemed to go on and on forever. The girl smiled and said,

"Hello, my name is Elle Turner. It's my first year here, and by the looks of your robes," Elle said, pointing to the empty space on Rose' robes where her house should be "you're new too." Rose laughed and replied,

"Yep, all of us are new here." Pointing, Rose told Elle everyone's names. "This is David Thomas, next is Albus Potter, known as Al to us. Next to him is Peach Thomas, David's twin sister. And of course you know me, Rose Weasley."

"Nice to meet you, Elle!" chorused David, Peach and Albus.

Elle laughed. "Nice to meet you, too. I'm guessing Rose and Al are related?" She asked David.

"Yep. Cousins."

"Do you have any siblings?" Elle asked them. Peach giggled.

"Yes. Me and David have a sister. She's called Imogene, but everyone calls her Immi. She's 13 years old and in Ravenclaw house." Al spoke next.

"I have a brother called James. He's in the year above us in Griffindor. Also I have a sister, who is 9, called Lily."

"And I have one brother called Hugo, who is also 9. What about you, Elle? Any siblings?" Elle smiled sadly.

"No, there's only me. I wish I had siblings, though....Anyway, now we've got all the formalities out of the way, can I ask you which house you want to be in?" Rose smiled and said,

"I'm not sure. I'd love to be in Griffindor; no Weasley has ever not been in Griffindor. I suppose Ravenclaw wouldn't be too bad, but no way am I going in Slytherin. I think I'd leave!" They laughed.

"I agree with Rose. What about you guys?" Al asked David, Elle and Peach.

"Well, we want Griffindor or Ravenclaw coz they were are parent's houses. Don't care which." David answered for him and Peach.

"What about you, Elle?" Al asked.

She laughed and quoted,

"'Griffindor,

Where dwell the brave at heart,

Their daring, nerve and chivalry,

Set Griffindors apart.' Yeah, Griffindor is a cool house, and I want in!" They laughed and chattered until the trolley came past when Elle, Al and Peach jumped up to buy snacks.

A/N: Hi :) Let me get straight to the point. Yes, Elle is rather Mary-Sue-ish, but after Chapter 3, she has loads of flaws (I won't tell you what exactly, but she has a little bit of emotional issues, and may take getting revenge a bit too far ;) ), so don't bother telling me she is too Mary-Sue-ish, okay? Because I already know she is, and quite frankly, every story has a Mary-Sue in it, for example, Twilight - (Queen of Mary-Sues) Bella Swan/Cullen. Harry Potter - Ginny Weasley/Potter (But she's one of the only Mary-Sues I don't mind being a Mary-Sue lol) ect. So basically, if she's too Mary-Sue for you, don't read the story, okay? Because I'm not changing her.

Also, I KNOW that Dean and Luna didn't get married and have kids, but I didn't know that when I originally wrote this chapter, and couldn't be bothered to change it. So this story is a little AU, okay? Anyway, I hope you enjyed the first chapter! R&R please!

Btw, Elle gets v. Mary-Sue-ish in the first chapter. But leave her alone, ok? Dumbledore was smart when he was at Hogwarts too!
