ALI AT HOGWARTS

Chapter I: New student

"Excuse me class," said Dumbledore in his fine silk robes. "We have a new student, and she comes from a land far away from here, called Tortall. This is Aly Cooper, and she will be your new classmate, in the house of Gryffindor." He said as he gestured to Aly standing timidly by the door.

"So, who would like to show Aly around?" continued Dumbledore. The classes' hands shot up like there were a bunch of bees swarming their hands. Aly was quite beautiful, and who wouldn't want to show her around?

"Hmmmm let's see... Yes, Harry you may help her with her studies, and get her used to this building. Now, Aly, you may take a seat. Classes are over anyway."

Aly took a seat next to Harry, who had shadowy black hair, and big circular glasses, which Aly thought was rather funny. He thoughtfully smiled back to the reddish-blonde girl.

She whispered "Hi. I'm Aly. Lookin' forward to hanging out with you later." Harry nodded, and lo6roked to the front of the room so as not to get in trouble. Aly did the same. It seemed like not a minute had passed when the bell rang. Aly and Harry filed out of the classroom together, with two others.

Harry said to Aly, "Aly, I would like you to meet my friends."

"Hello, I'm Ron," said Ron.

"Hi, I'm Hermione," said Hermione

"Nice to meet you," Aly said.

Aly smiled back at them both, and the group continued walking down the hall. As she was walking the boys were all giving her thoughtful glances except one, a nasty looking bleach-blonde, who scowled at her.

"Who's the weirdo?" asked Ali

"Oh Malfoy, pay no attention to him," he said as he moved his head in Malfoy's direction.

"He gives everyone trouble. You have to watch out for him."

Hermione changed the dreadful subject by saying, "Aly, how do you know so much about magic? The last one you did in class was 1) without a wand which I find truly amazing and 2) without any mistake at all."

"Well I have had a lot of practice," she said as they were walking to the shifting stairs.

"I mean my uncle Numair is the most powerful wizard in Tortall and my aunt Daine can talk to any animal she pleases AND she's a shape shifter. So yeah I have a lot of practice its nothing really special though. But the wand thing," Aly continued, "I dunno I guess people from where I come from just don't use wands so, neither do I."

"WOW," said Ron mouth ajar because of what Aly just told them. When the group finally had to split up to go into separate dorms, Aly followed Hermione. Eyes wide, Aly wondered aloud. There were many pictures.

"Hey, is that one.... moving?" Aly thought to herself. Ali went up and poked the woman in the pictures dress.

"Hey kid, I just got that dress cleaned yesterday! Now it's RUINED!" screamed the picture.

Aly stated giggling as the woman in the picture retreated behind some rock. That night Aly was thinking about why she was thrown out of the house by Alanna and George. (But to her known as mom and dad).

"I mean I just went on a simple adventure, who knew that there would be trouble? Oh yeah, I did. Having the Sight sucks. I can only see bits and pieces of things. It's not even helpful!!" Aly complained to herself.

"And who knows when I'll be able to go home again?" Aly started sobbing quietly. But Aly was certainly not a pessimistic person. "But that Harry does seem quite charming. But as my mom says 'Aly you can never take a relationship seriously' not that it even matters, I probably will have a good time here anyway." Aly softly put her head on her pillow and fell asleep in a flash.

"Aly! Aly! Aly!" said the resonating voice in her dream.

"Kyroprith?" Aly asked. "Is that you?"

"Of course. Who else? Anyway I'm just warning you to stay AWAY from that Malfoy, boy. He will only cause you trouble. And stay near that Potter boy, it will only be good for you if you stay around him."

"Kyroprith, why-" Aly started.

"Do not ask me why," continued the trickster "Just follow my advice if you can."

When Aly woke up she had a splitting head ache. But she rushed to get dressed and gather her books. On Aly and Hermione's way to class they saw on the wall in big red letters

"ALY WUZ HERE".
