Chapter 1
Annora P.O.V
Hi. My name is Annora Shacklebolt. Yes, daughter of Kingsley Shacklebolt. But funnily enough, no one would even think I am his daughter. I have pale skin and sandy brown coloured hair but I do have his eyes. How did that happen? I don't know, it's magic. But my mother (Jesinta Shacklebolt) has pale skin and chestnut hair so I guess I get that from her.
I bid my parents farewell as I go on the train for my first year at Hogwarts. I am nervous, which house will I be sorted into? I hope I will either be a lion or an eagle. My parents would be upset if it turned out I was sorted into Slytherin, yet they would try to hide it. I meet Katie Bell and I hug her. We wave and find an empty compartment. "I can't believe it is our time! What pet did you get?" I ask and we are in deep conversation. "I got a beautiful girl chocolate coloured cat that I named Coco." I say as Katie cooes. "Aww, you are going to have to show me! What kind of wand do you have?" She asks and I take it out. I admire it and so does Katie. "Pine and phoenix feather core, 10 and ¾ inches." I hear a door open. I look to see three boys, in Gryffindor, probably in 2nd year, one has dark skin and black dreadlocks. The other two look to be twins, matching flaming red hair but one's eyes are brown, the other's are more of a greenish brown, hazel. "First years, eh?" The taller of the twins asks, the one with hazel eyes. "No, I am just wearing a first year's' uniform cause I feel like it." I roll my eyes and Katie laughs. The shorter twin elbows the other. "Ooh, she got you Freddie." So the cuter one, err, I mean the taller one is Fred. The dreadlock boy laughs. "That is not the way to ask to share a compartment, lads, I shall take it from here." I raise my eyebrow. "Lee Jordan at your service." He grins and tries to flex his nonexistent muscles. Katie shakes her head and I bring out my wand. "Muffliato." I whisper, pointing at Lee's lips, they were continuing to move, yet no sound came out. Katie high fives me and I laugh. "Oi! Who do you think you are?" The shorter one says. I grin. This was always my favourite part. "Annora Shacklebolt, actually. You may have heard of my father, Auror Kingsley Shacklebolt, or my mother, Mediwitch Jesinta Shacklebolt?" I say innocently. Realisation flickers in their eyes. "In that case, it would be wonderful if you may grace us with your talented presence?" Fred asks and I can't hide a smile. I look towards Katie, and I see her looking at the other twin. I must ask her about this later. "Katie?" I ask and she nods. "Okay then," They walk in and sit opposite us. "So, Fred…" I ask and he grins. "Weasley. My brother is George." He nods towards the shorter one. "I'm Katie Bell." She says and George nods. "Are you into Quidditch? I have my heart set on being a chaser when I can try out." This starts a huge conversation. "Yes! George and I are the beaters of the slytherins." I laugh at his play on words. We keep eye contact for much too long to be socially acceptable but then George cuts in. "How about you, Annora?" I laugh and shake my head. Quidditch was never my game of confidence. "Commentating is more my thing. I only fly for fun." Lee is glaring at me and mouthing lots of words at once. The twins laugh. "Lee was hoping, since Lacy graduated, he would take the position." George explains and I laugh. "Well since you won't be talking anytime soon, it looks like I have won." Lee glares at me but everyone else is laughing. "It will ware off tonight." I whisper to Katie and she grins. "Anything off the trolley dears?" I look towards the twins and see a slight blush on their cheeks. "No money, but Lee can't talk, so boys are out." I felt guilty. I did put Lee in that situation, plus I do owe Katie. "Two of everything, please." I got out my galleons and gave them in. "Wicked. You are awesome, Annora" The twins chorused, I silenced Katie and got out a Chocolate Frog. I did the spell correctly and ate it. Katie took the other one. I smiled. "Another Dumbledore. Am I forgiven, Lee?" He grinned, nodded and started to wolf down some Jelly Slugs. I rolled my eyes. George was eating a Fizzing Whizbee and fred a packet of Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans. I took a pumpkin Pasty. We laughed, talked and ate. I was praying, that I would make it into Gryffindor. I was praying.
A/N: Hello guys. This is my first fanfic, so reviews would be amazing. Was the first chapter too much? I hope to update at least once a week. Follows and favourites would be spectacular. I have a vision for this fanfic, so I hope you like it. After the sorting I will skip to when they meet the golden trio. After that I will do a chapter a year until the triwizard tournament. That is where their relationship really starts. I hope you enjoy.
