I own nothing. My characters are: Sarah, Eli, and Courtney.

Harry Potter Fan Fiction
I couldn't believe it! It was already time to leave. My mom and I are at the Burrow. We were planning on going to the station with the Weaselys' because they are good friends with us. They were good friends with my dad and older sister, but they're gone, forever because of Voldemort.
"It's time to get going!" Mrs. Weasely said.
"Yeah!" Ron, Fred, George, and I said. Ron is my best friend. He always has been, and always will be, at least, that's what I'm thinking right now anyways. We all took the Floo powder, and were soon at the station. We walked down until we saw the wall between platforms 9 and 10. That must be platform 9&3/4 is. I know that because my mom told me. Before we had gone through it, we had met a boy. He looked nice, and a little confused about where to go. Mrs. Weasely told him where, and that this was Ron and I's first year too.
We all went through the wall, and saw a huge train. I saw lots of people, and because I am slightly claustrophobic, I felt a little uncomfortable.
"Well, this is it." My mom said to me.
"Yeah, I can't believe I'm here." I said.
"Honey, this is only the beginning." She said.
"Cool. Well, bye mommy." I said, tears coming through my eyes.
"Oh honey, you'll be fine." She said.
"No, I'll miss you too much." I said, crying.
"You'll see me at Christmas, unless plans change, then I'll see you at Christmas." She said.
"Mom, I love you." I said. For being 11, I was really depressed to be leaving my mom. This so wasn't cool, but I've never been away from my mom for more than a month, plus, I kinda wished my dad was here to see this.
"I love you too Courtney." She said.
"I miss dad." I said.
"Honey, I do too, now go get on the train before it leaves." She said. I smiled, and walked in the train car's door, and started walking down the hall. I walked down the aisles until I saw Ron in one of the compartments. I walked in, and saw that the boy from the station was in here too. He saw showing Ron his scar, then I realized that it seemed familiar, I just don't remember where.
"Your Harry Potter!" Ron said.
"Who's Harry Pott-Oh." I said, realizing who he was.
"Were you crying?" Ron asked.
"Uh, no." I said, completely pretending there's not tears on my face.
"Oh, well, then the area around your eyes are really red, and you have tears on your face because?" Harry asked.
"I'm tired, and I must be allergic to something on the train." I said.
"Ok then." Harry said.
"Well, hello. I'm Courtney, Courtney Iris." I said.
"Oh, and I'm Ronald Weasely, but I'd prefer to be called Ron." Ron said, putting a hand out to shake. Harry shook it, and then put it by his side. I was sitting by Ron who was sitting across from Harry. Then the food trolley came by, and Harry bought us all food from it.
"Thank you." I said, being polite.
"Welcome." Harry said.
"Thank you Harry." Ron said with his mouth full. Not much of a surprise if you ask me.
Then, after a little bit, I was in robes, but the other two were not, a girl came into our compartment and asked if we'd seen a toad. We all said no, and she asked if she could sit in here.
"Yeah go ahead. I,um,apologize for them." I said, glancing at them.
"Okay. Well, I'm Hermione Granger. And you are?" Hermione asked.
"I'm Courtney Iris, this is Ron Weasely, and this is Harry Potter." I said.
"Hey." Ron said with food in his mouth. Hermione had a look of disgust on her face. I half laughed when I saw it. Although, I am used to disgusting things, I hang out with boys all the time.
"You know, you might want to follow Alyssa's example and go put on your robes. I expect we'll be arriving soon." She said.
"Go. I need some girl time, unless I've offended her in some way." I said. The two boys left with their robes in their hands.
"How do you survive that?" Hermione asked.
"You know Ron? He has lots of brothers, and because my mom and I always go to his house, I just kinda have no real feelings for boys disgusting habits. At least, the normal disgusting habits?" I said.
"Oh. Do you have any brothers?" Hermione asked.
"Nope. Do you?" I ask.
"No. Why is it that you don't have much of an accent?" Hermione asked.
"Because I've just spent a year in the US living with my muggle grandparents because my mom and I can." I said.
"Oh, so your muggle born?" Hermione asked.
"No, I'm pureblood. Both my parents were wizards, but they thought that the other half was non-magical. They went to different schools. Surprised them when they found out they both were wizards." I said.
"Pureblood. I'm muggle born." She said.
"Do you have to call them muggles? I find that word mean and degrading." I said.
"No. I guess listening to everyone else say it is starting to catch on." She said.
"Don't let it. Your parents just managed to make a literally magical child. As to every parent, their children are magical to have around, until they make messes, and mistakes, or die." I said.
"That's a little depressing. Don't you think?" She asked. Then the boys, in their robes came into the compartment.
"Yes." I said.
"Yes what?" Ron asked.
"It's not your business." I said. Then a couple minutes later, the train started to slow down. We were finally there! I opened the door of our compartment, and walked, slowly, down the crowded hall. Because of my claustrophobia, I almost barfed on someone. I walked out of the train car, and the cool air felt good against my face. Then we saw a huge guy, who's name I soon learned was Hagrid. All the 1st years stood in front of him like a 2 year old would to a 3rd year. Then we got on boats, I was on one with Hagrid, Harry, Ron, and Hermione. We docked after about 20 minutes, then we walked up to the castle. It was HUGE! Bigger than Hagrid, although I couldn't imagine anything bigger than him, but this was it. Inside felt even bigger than the outside. The portraits moved, and the stairs moved, and everything felt so moving. We followed who I believed was one of the professors here up to the top of some stairs. Then she said to wait, then went into a room.
"Red hair, freckles, and a hand-me-down robe? You must be a Weasely." A boy said. He had white hair, and pale skin. Also, he was already on my hate list, which until now, I didn't know I had.
"Yeah, and you must be a Malfoy. Arrogant, rude, and has utterly ugly pale hair." I said. Actually, I kinda liked his hair. I just knew it was a Malfoy because my mom talked about the Malfoys when we were talking about Hogwarts.
"And you are?" He asked.
"Since we seem to be going by last name, I'm Iris." I said.
"Well Iris. What makes you think your better than me?" He asked.
"Oh honey, you thought you were good? Well, I'm a girl, which means I mature faster, I'm smart, I'm rich, in skills and not money, and I have a better personality." I said.
"Please. You love the Weasely kid. Why are you wasting your time?" He asked.
"I, am not wasting my time, and I'm too young to love anyone. I just currently love making you mad." I said.
He rolls his eyes.
"Oh, so I see that you don't have a comback?" I ask.
"Please, you were looking for a fight." He said.
"Whatever. You pick on my friends, and I'm within spittin' distance, then you must be asking for me to be mean. I'm only mean when I'm with you." I said. Then the teacher came back before Draco could say anything back to me.
"Before we go in, I would like to introduce myse-" The teacher cut short because a boy named Neville yelled,"Trevor!" then picked up a toad.
"Well, like I was saying, I am professor McGonnagol. They are ready for you." She said. We all walked in. The room was breathtaking. The people faces, were making me sick to my stomache. We all stood ther while McGonagol said the first name which was Hermione Granger. Hermione went up there and was sorted into Gryffindor. Then by the time Ron was up, every house had been said at least once. He was also sorted into Gryffindor. Then Draco went up, and was sorted into Slytherin. Then about 20 people went up to be sorted, then Harry was up. He was sorted into Gryffindor. Then I was up. I didn't want to be sorted into Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff, or to be honest sorted at all. I was sorted into Gryffindor, but I kinda wanted to be in Slytherin. I sat at the table, and ate in silence, then followed Percy (Ron's older brother) to the common room. Then Hermione and I went to the girls' dorm. I was exausted, so I fell asleep pretty easily.
*The next morning*
I woke up, and noticed that the sun was just coming out, but I felt extremely awake. I got out of bed, changed into my robes, and walked down to the common room. Since there was no one downstairs, I decided to look at my schedule, although I knew it by heart. After about 2 hours of just sittin' around, someone came downstairs. I soon learned that his name was Seamus Finnigin, and a few other boys who looked a lot older than 11, whose names I don't know, but one of them was named Oliver. Soon, there was more and more people coming down the stairs. Then I saw Ron and Harry. Harry, Ron, and I sat on the couch and talked until Hermione came down.
"Good morning." We all said to Hermione.
"Good morning." She said.
"Shall we get to class? Because, we don't really know where everything is, so we might want a head start." I suggested.
"Yeah, good idea, but we could ask someone where *looks at schedule* potions would be." Ron said.
"Easy. It's down in the dungeon. Around where the Slytherins are." I said.
"To make things worse, we have that class with some of the 1st year Slytherins. Let's hope none of them are Malfoy." Harry said.
"With our luck, he will be." I said. I'll be honest here, I kinda had a little crush on Draco, who is the only other person besides Ron I liked, at least for this year. Also, I never thought I'd like anyone but a Weasely. I guess this school changes your thoughts on people, and life. We all walked out of the common room, and soon got to the moving stairs. To be honest, the stairs were one of my favorite parts of this school, besides ALL the boys. Wow, I'm only 11 and all I can think about is boys.
"Shouldn't we eat breakfast first?" I asked, realizing that there was still breakfast to go to.
"Yeah." Hermione said.
"Okay, well let's go." I said. We all contiued to walk down the stairs, then went into the great hall. Where our table sat, it was right by the Slytherins. I sat in a way where I could see Draco. He sat by what looked like two idiots, and a girl. Although I don't like the girl, I'm not allowed to call her an idiot. It's like a girl code or something. Also, I love America. There's amazing music, and strange accents that are nothing like mine. After breakfast, we went to potions. Snape, who I learned was our potions teacher, had a seating arrangement where we didn't get to sit by our own house for the first week(but I have a feeling it'll be more like the first month). Draco was in this class, and he sat by me.
"Looks like I'm stuck with you." He said.
"I'm not enjoying this any better than you are." I lied. I was going to enjoy making fun of him.
"Well, since we're stuck next to each other, I think I reserve the right to know your first name." Draco said.
"What makes you think that?" I ask.
"I'm Draco. And you are?" He asked.
"I know who you are. I'm Courtney. I hate you." I said. Yeah, I know that's mean, but I couldn't help but say it.
"I hate you too." He said. UGH! I so have a crush on him. He's so cute, but don't tell Ron. I love Ron like a best friend, but this is one of those moments where enemies end up falling in love or something. See, I spent too much time in America.
"Good to know the feeling is mutual." I said.
"On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the highest, and 1 being the lowest, how much do you hate me?" Draco asked.
"Honey, the scale is broken. And you?" I ask, but then Snape said,"If your going to go on about hate, do it in a place where I don't have to tell you to stop."
"That's a lot of hate." I said.
"10 points from Gryffindor for talking in my class, and 20 for backtalking me. Plus, detention for the both of you. Both of you will stay after class so we can talk detetion." Snape said. Draco laughed.
"Don't do it Draco!" The girl said.
"Shut it Pansy. Because two of my students have done something, everyone in Slytherin will stay after class." Snape said. I kept a straight face even though I wanted to laugh so freaking hard. The rest of class went by quickly without a word except for Snape, and whoever he called on. At the end of class, I saw all the Slytherins go up to the desk, but Snape said they all could go because he could worry about them later. Draco, Pansy, and I had to stay.
