Hey this is my first Harry Potter fanfic and I do NOT own Harry Potter. Just Ivory and Callie.
Enjoy.
I sighed as I walked into the carriage. Every compartment was full, and as being a muggle-born first year, I knew no-one.
Not good when you need a carriage.
I tugged my curly blonde hair out of it's ponytail and let it fall past my shoulders over my black jumper, my green eyes scanning very compartment.
They were all full apart from one. Three people sat in it. Two boys and one girl. The girl had blonde hair, a couple shades lighter than mine, fair skin and big ,round, brown eyes. She looked as if she was in sixth year. The boy next to her had short messy turquoise hair, blue eyes and slightly tanned skin. The boy across from them had messy black hair, pale skin and almond shaped brown eyes.
I slid open the door and they all looked at me.
"Excuse me, but is it okay if I sit with you? All the other compartments are full." I asked.
"Sure, I'll just move my owl." Turquoise said as he mover a barn owl off the seat across from him. I pulled my luggage in to the compartment. Dinah hooted as Turquoise lifted her cage as I sat down. I took the cage off him and sat Dinah on my lap.
"So, what is your owl called?" Blondie asked, she had a slight French accent.
"Dinah, she's named after a DC comic superhero called Black Canary."
"You like superhero comics?" The guy next to me asked.
"I haven't read any I prefer to watch the cartoons. I'm muggle born and I only found out about a month ago that I was a witch. Though I knew I was different as whenever I got a haircut that I didn't like, my hair would go back to normal the next day." I explained.
"What's your name?" Turquoise asked.
"Ivory, Ivory Smith. What's are your names?"
"I'm Teddy Lupin ." Said turquoise.
"Victoire Weasley."
"James Sirius Potter." His voice made it evident that he thought I knew who he was and should bow to him as if he was superior to me.
I nodded, before reaching into my pocket to pull out my Ipod.
"You do know who I am?" He sounded confused. I sighed in annoyance.
"Yes, I know who you are. I may be muggle born but I do know that your dad is Harry Potter, Boy who lived."
"Then why aren't you drooling all over me, like all the other girls do?" He asked, confused. I turned to face him.
"Just because you have a famous dad does not mean I will be impressed by you. You're starting Hogwarts too, aren't you?" He slowly nodded his head at me. "You see, right now we haven't been taught anything yet, so we are at the same level, you're not superior than me. Also, I'm not most girls."
"Oh." was all he said.
"Um…" Teddy said, obviously put off by my speech. "What music do you have on your Ipod?"
"Oh. Let's see Fall Out Boy, Paramore, Panic! At The Disco, Hey Monday, All Time Low, Spill Canvas, Blue October, We The Kings, Lostprophets, Artist vs. Poet, Nickelback, Evanescence and Lacuna Coil."
"That's a lot of bands." Victoire remarked. "I don't know any of them."
"They're all muggle bands, so I doubt most people at Hogwarts would have heard of them." I explained, while placing my earphones in my ears and putting on Fall Out Boy's thnks fr th mmrs before drifting off to sleep.

"James Potter!" The sorting hat cried and James smugly stepped forward. The hat had barely touched his head before it screamed:
"GRYFFINDOR!" I rolled my eyes as he sauntered over to the Gryffindor table, which was cheering madly. Obviously they were ecstatic that Harry Potter's eldest son was in there house.
A few minutes later the sorting hat called my name and I calmly stepped forward. I honestly wasn't really bothered what House I was put in. As long as I was put in a house.
Suddenly the image of me not being sorted into a house and being chucked out of Hogwarts made it's way into my head.
I shoved the mage out of my head and placed the black, withered hat on my head.
"Hmm… let's see. Where should I put you? Loyalty is important to you yes. Oh desperate to prove yourself. Smart. Oh my! Look at the courage you have. I think I know what House your belong to. GRYFFINDOR!" I felt the Sorting Hat call out the last part.
I took the hat and placed in on the stool before walking over to the cheering Gryffindor table. I sat next to Teddy and he patted me cheerfully on the shoulder.
After the last person had been sorted into their house food magically appeared in front of us.
"Just before you eat, may I remind new and old students that Ipods are banned from class and if caught listening to them they will be taken away for the rest of the day. Also or caretaker Filch has made a list of items that pupils should not have. His list is beside his office if any of you care to check it out. Now let the feast begin." Professor McGonagall said.
I dug into my chicken and chips, before realising James was sitting across from me. And he was staring at me.
"What?" I asked.
"Nothing." He said before turning away, I shook my head before returning to my chicken.

"I still can't believe they won't let first-years try out for quidditch." Potter moaned.
"Does it really matter?" Teddy asked.
"Yes!" Potter cried.
"Look, Potter. You really need to stop trying to be like your dad. It's getting pretty sad." I said, looking up from my charms textbook.
"At least I know how to play quidditch , Smith." Potter retorted. I rolled my eyes at this.
"Potter, we're getting flying lessons next week. Be grateful for that." I said before walking out the common room.

Halloween came around quickly. The great Hall was covered in orange and black. Pumpkins sat at every table and black cats wondered aimlessly around people's ankles.
"Hey, Smith. Nice mask, oh wait it's just your face." A slytherin commented as he walked by me. I rolled my eyes at the insult. I restrained the urge to hit him with a Bat-Bogey hex.
"Hey Smith." Potter said before sliding onto the seat beside me.
"Potter. What did you do this time?" I asked.
"Placed dung bombs in Filch's office." He replied.
"And you didn't invite me?" Fred weasley asked incredulously as he sat across from us. "Not that it matters, I already got Mrs Norris with aguamenti this morning." Fred was one of Potter's cousins. He was in third year and was okay. His younger sister Roxanne was in the year above.
"You two just love Halloween don't you?" I asked.
"Yep."
"You guys should have been here last year. Me and Matt Jordan blew up a toilet." Fred said.
"You guys are bad examples for the rest of the school." Lucy Weasley said pompously as she walked by the table.
"I still can't believe we're related." Fred said.
"Molly's worse." I pointed out. Molly was Head Girl and a bigger pompous than Lucy.
"I'm surprised you didn't pull any pranks, Smith." Potter commented, while taking a sip of his pumpkin juice.
I smirked
"That's what you think." I grinned as he spat out his pumpkin juice.

" Come here, Dinah." I called to my owl. Potter stood beside me amused. His snowy owl perched on his shoulder.
"What did you do to her, Smith?"
"Nothing." He looked at me unconvinced. "Fine, I didn't give her toast this morning. And now I really need to send my present to my gran." I glared at my temperamental tawny owl who had flown to the top of the owlery.
"Come here Dinah." Potter said, holding out an owl treat.
"Potter, I highly doubt that she will co-" I stopped in shock as Dinah flew over to Potter and landed on his other shoulder. He stroked her head as he gave her the treat.
"Here, she'll come to you if you give her a treat." Potter said, chucking his bags of owl treats at me.
"Thanks." I pulled one out and Dinah flew over to me.
"See you Smith." He walked out the room. I shook my head before stroking Dinah's ear.
"You are such a strange bird." I commented before tying my present around her ankle and she flew off.

"DADA was so boring. Why can't we learn about werewolves." James complained as we walked out of the class.
"I fell asleep. Did we get homework?" I asked.
"Nope. All Professor Dowd was ramble on about Pixies and how to avoid the forbidden forest as they live there. I don't know who Hagrid can live near there."
"Maybe, it's because he's lived there for years." I pointed out. "Anyway I can't believe Slughorn is making us do a project on Bezoars. With each other."
"Oh cheer up Smith. You know you love working with me." James said casually flinging his arm over my shoulder.
"The day hell freezes over." I said, walking in the direction of the library.
"You two! Have you seen Weasley?" Filch rounded the corner. He looked pretty mad.
"Which one?" James asked, running his hand through his messy hair.
"Don't you get cheeky with me boy, or it'll be a detention for you. The ginger one."
"Sure, narrow it down why don't you?" I muttered. Filch glared at me.
"Now listen to me young lady, tell me where Fred Weasley is or you'll be expelled."
"I don't know where Fred is. The last time I saw him was at lunch." I said.
Filch ran off and I stuck my tongue out at him.
"Miserable git." I muttered. Potter grinned at me.
"Come on. Let's go warn Fred." Potter said walking up the stairs to Gryffindor tower.
"Actually, I'm going to go to the library."
"And you call Filch miserable?" Potter asked incredulously. I rolled my eyes as I walked off.
HPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHP
"So why did Binns give you detention?" Chris Hayley from Hufflepuff asked.
"I asked him what the weather was like in the middle ages." Everyone around him roared with laughter.
I sighed before trying to levitate the feather in front of me and James that WE were supposed to be working on.
"Wingardium Leviosa." I said, twirling my wand arm at the feather. However instead of levitating the feather I managed to make Potter float into the air.
"Good job, Miss Smith, just aim for the feather next time." Flitwick commented as I giggled at Potter's less-than-happy expression.

" So are you going home for Christmas?" James asked.
"Yep. You?" He nodded his head.
"I can't wait to gloat to Al about how cool Hogwarts is." He said, running a hand through his messy hair.
"Oh yeah, before I forget. Here's your gift." I said handing him his present.
"What is it?" He asked suspiciously.
"A boxset of WWW merchandise." I said.
"Cool, here's yours." He said handing me a small green package.
"What is it?" I asked.
"You'll find out. See you after the holidays." He waved at me before walking up the stairs into the boys dormitory.
"Ooh. James Potter got you a present." my very annoying friend, Callie swooned beside me.
"Shut up Pixie. Or your not getting your present." She stuck her tongue out at me, before staring at me with her wide hazel eyes.
"You wouldn't seriously do that."
"Oh. I would." I smirked at her shocked expression. "I'm kidding Cal. Here's your gift." I chucked a pink parcel at her. She squealed before throwing a grey parcel in my lap. She skipped around the common room. Her light brown hair coming out of it's pigtails.
"Merry Christmas!" She cried as she scampered up to our dormitory.

"I can't believe it's the end of the school year already!" Callie moaned. "Who am I going to hang out with over the summer?"
"Pixie, have you not heard of owl mail?" I asked, looking down at her. She was only a tiny 4'10 while I was 5'2.
"Yes, Phoenix, I have. And James Potter is coming this way." she pointed to him with her caramel fingers.
"Geez, why do you want me to date him?"
"I think you two would look good together." Was her reply as she tugged at my braid.
"Hey Smith, Hernandez." Potter nodded at us.
"Potter."
"I'll see you later." Callie giggled before scampering down the hall, almost running into Professor Dwd on the way.
"You going anywhere over the summer?" I asked Potter.
"I think we're going to Spain, what about you?"
"Paris. Who you sitting next to on the train?"
"Don't know yet. Teddy said he and Victoire were sharing a carriage all to themselves. I don't know why they would want to though." I refrained from shaking my head at him. He must be the only person in the school not to know that Teddy and Victoire are dating.
"Want to sit with me and Callie?"
"Sure, see you on the train."

"Bye James!" Ivory called at me, as she walked towards a woman with curly grey hair and the same green eyes as Ivory.
"See you in September, Smith." I called back.
"Who was that?" Lily asked as we walked through the barrier.
"No-one."
"Is she your girlfriend?" Lily asked, as dad, mum and Al walked through the barrier.
"Gross, lily pad."
"What's gross?" Mum asked.
"James has a girlfriend." Lily cried out before I could say anything.
"She's not my girlfriend. I don't even fancy her!" I exclaimed.
"Sure you don't James, that's why you're blushing." Al remarked dryly as we walked to the car.
"I can't wait to see you getting sorted into Slytherin next year." I said.
"MUM!"
"James, leave him alone."
Review!
