Chapter 1
I'm not normal. That much is obvious. I've never been normal. I'm a seventeen year old battle hero who hasn't had a real home since I was eleven. My name is Logan Spell and I am a celebrity among witches and wizards all over England.
Like I said I'm not normal. My hair is short and dark brown (so dark it's almost black). It's neither strait nor curly and impossible to keep tidy. My eyes are the most stunning feature, even as a metamorphmagus I hate to change my eyes. They are so pale blue that many say they are gray. I never see it. When I'm not under cover and dress normal I'm five feet two inches in height. It's great being short, people underestimate you. I've never stood out because of how I look. It's more or less because of how I act and who I am. As I've said, I'm a celebrity in England. After the murder of my parents I went to Hogwarts for twelve days before I ditched it. I already knew everything that they could teach me. I had known it since I was four. That's when I could first wave a wand legally. By age seven I was able to apparate and was a registered animagus. It all sounds so fake and overdone but it's all true. After my parents were murdered by death eaters I lived with these lovely people named Potter. Mr. Potter, Mrs. Potter and their son James. I loved them. They were the kindest people in the universe but after I gained full magical rights at age twelve, I left them. I spent two years traveling the world learning magic. I was so amazing that by the time I turned fourteen the Ministry of Magic wanted me undercover everywhere to solve their problems. The only downside was that they wouldn't let me become an auror because I was not yet seventeen nor had I taken my NEWTs. It sucked. So that led me where I am now. I'm about to go to Hogwarts for my first real year there. But not even that is true because I've talked to Dumbledore and he said that he wants me to teach a dueling class for older students. I can't wait.
September 1st . . .
I was already bored. I was disguised as a tall leggy blonde today. This was mainly for the fact that I didn't want people to know too soon that I was coming to Hogwarts and also because I was told to safely see the train to Hogwarts. I was boarding the train at the minute mark to eleven. I meandered through trying to find a compartment. I got many stares as I passed people. Probably because they had never seen me before, and I looked hot. I began to wonder what their faces would be like if they saw me as me. I had made it to the very last compartment without finding a place to sit. And guess who was in it? My lovely almost brother, James Potter and his best friends. My stomach did a flip when I saw Sirius Black. He and I have a very common yet strange relationship. It's like Best Friends with benefits on occasion type stuff. The truth is that I love Sirius and I know he loves me but it's too difficult to be with him because I'm never around. Incidentally, the only times we see each other is when I'm at the Potter's house for holidays or dinner.
'Timidly' opening the door I poke my head in. "Hi, is there any chance that I can sit here? I don't really know anyone here..." I ask James.
"Why would you think that we would let you sit with us? Do you think you are special or something? Don't you know who we are?" James rapidly and quite snobbishly questioned me. Instantly my anger flared up. He had no right to act that way towards someone he didn't know! Did he act like this to everyone?
"Why would I know who you are? Didn't I just say that I don't really know anyone here? Who do you think you are anyway? You're not some king of the world!" I practically shout at him. Jamesy poo needed a serious attitude adjustment
"James, don't be a wanker. You are head boy this year. You have to show some care to new students" Remus said to him. Turning to me he turned very polite, "hello, Remus Lupin at your service, that git is James, and the loser to his right is Sirius, you are very welcome to sit with us now that James has to leave." I love Remus, he is so nice to people.
"Thanks" I replied, walking into the compartment, as James left.
"So who are you? And why haven't we seen you around here before beautiful?" Sirius asked me as he lounged across from me, eyeing me up. Sirius was quite literally the most handsome man I've ever met. His untidy black hair fell into his stormy gray eyes. Naturally he had a fantastic physique. He was lean and muscular and very tall. No girl or woman could withstand his sexual charm, including me.
So instead of answering his question, I did something much more satisfying, I leaned over and kissed him.
Now, this of course was Sirius Black, and no matter who his heart belongs to (me), he can't willingly pass up a snog session with anyone attractive.
After a few uncomfortable coughs from Remus, Sirius and I pulled up for air.
"You've been practicing"
"My apologies, I don't think we've had the pleasure of engaging in any recreational activities together before" he replied, looking perplexed.
"Well not anytime recently, no. But we did hook up around Christmas last year"
"Before or after?"
"Which time?" messing with him is just too much fun.
"Logan, give the guy a break, even he can't keep up with which girls he has shagged."
"Damn it Remus, Did you really have to ruin all my fun?" of course, Sirius was just sitting there, with a mixture of expressions on him face. It was somewhere between joy, shock, and confusion.
And somehow I still found him amazingly gorgeous…
"Lo? Really? Are you actually coming to Hogwarts?" His voice sounded so hopeful, it was really very sweet.
"Yes I am. I have to take my NEWTS this year so I can officially become an auror. They don't let you take them anywh-"I attempted to explain, of course, being cut off by a 17 year old boy squeezing the life out of me caused some difficulties.
"This is so amazing I've missed you so much!" It felt so good to be held by him again. I really did love this kid.
But, cliché as it sounds, that had to be the moment that James walked back in.
"Got a new girlfriend already Padfoot?" he sounded strained.
"No, James, he got an old one. And I am really debating telling your parents about your behavior towards others. Linda would be especially displeased."
"How the hell do you know my parents?" he asked skeptically, while Sirius and Remus were trying very unsuccessfully to keep strait faces.
"Let's play a game" messing with James is always more fun than messing with Sirius; he puts more effort into it and gets frustrated easier. "I will give you clues, and if you can guess who I am in fewer than five clues, I will not tell your parents about your abhorrent attitude, if you lose, I will not put you in the line of Linda's fire.
Looking excited, James sat down and put his thinking face on. "Okay let's do it!"
"But James, she has already given you two clues! That's unfair"
"Damn it Remus! Stop ruining my fun! You are on my black list now boy"
Unfortunately, we didn't get to finish our game, because right as James was about to figure it out, the trained screeched to a sudden halt and Lily Evans appeared in the door way.
"Potter! There are men trying to board the train! I couldn't see them very well, but they looked like death eaters!" she looked terrified. I would be too if I was a muggleborn witch.
"Looks like it's time for me to get to work" I groaned, standing up from my comfy position next to Sirius, "James, You and Lily need to make sure that they don't board the train, Remus, send a note to Dumbledore, it shouldn't take long, we are almost to Hogsmeade. I'll do what I can"
I moved over to the window and forced it open enough for me to get out. As I was about to jump, James and Lily decided to voice the same question
"Who the hell are you?" Mind you, these were in very different tones.
And me adoring clichés as much as I do, would have really liked to reply with a mysterious and shocking response, instead I say "I'm the girl who won't be getting any of the Welcome Feast tonight" as I jump and transform back into my usual self.
Normal POV
They all saw her arriving, so she said in a false cheery tone "'Ello gents! Might I be so bold to ask why you are halting a train full of innocent school children?"
"Well my dear, we were actually looking for you." the first said in an equally false tone. Logan vaguely noticed everyone staring at her through the windows as the train came back to life.
"Why would that be? Of what use am I to you?" she inquired, whilst putting defense charms around her secretively.
"We have orders to retrieve you and take you to the leader of this mission for-questioning." one of the others said.
"Okay then! Let's go! I don't want to keep your plans from working." she said while sticking out her elbow for side-apparation. She didn't want to endanger any of the students by fighting here. And they obviously had a deeper purpose than just questioning her, and she knew the only way to discover what it was would be to accompany them.
The men were bewildered. Never before had someone been willing to go with them. The first Death Eater seemed to be the most intelligent. He grabbed her arm forcefully and turned on the spot with the others following. Logan only had time to see the end of the train and Sirius's stricken face as she disappeared.
