To Listen with Our Ears, Minds, and Hearts Chapter 1- Bingeul Bingeul (U-Kiss)
A/N I do not own Harry Potter, only the OCs. Also, I changed up so things from the other story in order for it to fit better and hopefully more appealing :D
Mizy sighed, her head pressed against the cool window of the Hogwarts train. She stared out into the scenery, taking in the foggy weather. She felt nervous, as always before the start of the school year, even though nothing special really happened. She was a Ravenclaw seventh year- This was her last year. The carriage door opened and her best friend Nooni, also a Ravenclaw and seventh year, entered and made to Mizy to hug her.
"Hi! Long time no see!" Nooni said, settling herself down across from Mizy.
"I saw you last week." Mizy said, grinning, sitting up straight.
"A long week it's been, then." Nooni replied, grinning back. "You excited?"
"Aren't we always?" Mizy said. Nooni playfully rolled her eyes.
"You know what I've heard?" Nooni asked, leaning towards Mizy, who blinked blankly.
"What you've heard?" Mizy inquired. Nooni was born to a family of purebloods, while Mizy was half blooded, her father a wizard and mother a muggle, though her dad refrained from talking too much about magic while in front of her mom.
"I've heard…"Nooni said suspense fully, looking around as though she didn't want to be overheard. "that your underwear is black." She giggled. Mizy gasped dramatically and gently slapped Nooni's arm. "No, I'm kidding. I've heard that Harry Potter is coming to Hogwarts this year!" Nooni exclaimed. Mizy's jaw dropped.
"No way, the Boy Who Lived?" She asked. Despite her father's oral limitation of magic, he had mentioned Harry Potter a few times before.
"No, he's my brother- Of course it's the Boy Who Lived!" Nooni said.
"Oh, how do you think he looks?" Mizy asked.
"Well," Nooni said, gazing off at the window, "I imagine him to be tall, or at least tall for a kid, dark hair, handsome, and dashing!" Mizy laughed.
A knock on the door made Mizy and Nooni turn their heads. They watched as a bushy haired girl looked down at them.
"Excuse me, but have any of you seen a lost toad? A boy named Neville Longbottom lost one." She said, and while she talked her lips pulled to reveal rather large front teeth. Mizy thought her voice sounded rather bossy, but Mizy nonetheless answered.
"No, sorry!". At this, the girl flashed an apologetic smile and turned and left. Mizy and Nooni turned back to face each other.
"Who in their right mind would buy a toad for a pet?" Nooni asked.
As the train drew near and nearer to Hogwarts, Mizy and Nooni changed out their clothes and pulled on their robes. As they exchanged comments of how hungry they were, a voice rang out throughout the train, "We will be reaching Hogwarts in five minutes' time. Please leave your luggage on the train; it will be taken to the school separately." Used to this announcement, they continued their conversation until the train slowed to a stop.
The two exited out with the crowd of other students on the tiny, dark platform, and hurried toward the carriages. Able to get one along with two other Hufflepuffs, they clambered onto the carriages. They sat in comfortable silence as the carriages wavered up to the castle. As the carriages stopped in front of the doors, they climbed off and headed into the castle, turning and entering the Great Hall. As usual, the ceiling was bewitched to reflect the sky, now a starry dark night. The lighted candles floated and gave off its light. Mizy and Nooni took their seats at the Ravenclaw table.
Mizy stared longingly at the empty golden plate in front of her. Nooni pulled on Mizy's sleeve and gestured toward the staff table. Mizy scanned the staff, not seeing what Nooni was trying to point out.
"What?" Mizy asked.
"Oh my- Look who it is!" She said, pointing at a teacher. Mizy turned her attention to him: Thin, pale, young, and sporting a purple turban. His head was turned and he seemed to be conversing with Professor Snape. She felt as though she had already known him, but she could not place her finger on whom.
"Er, who is it?" Mizy asked.
"It's Quirrell!" Nooni said, exasperated. Mizy suddenly remembered him, the former Muggle Studies teacher who had taken a year off to get some first-hand experience. She felt her face redden slightly; she had a small crush on him.
"So?"
"So….ah you know what I mean, wink wink nudge nudge." Nooni said, shooting her a knowing look. Only she knew of her small infatuation. Mizy tore her gaze away from Quirrell to shot Nooni a look back. As she did so, the doors to the hall burst open and Professor McGonagall strode in dramatically, a bunch of first years nervously shuffling after her. She watched as McGonagall approached the stool where the first years were to sit and place the Sorting Hat on top. She unrolled the parchment with the names and began calling out the names of students.
It was relatively boring. Mizy's thoughts drifted to Quirrell. She admitted it, she had a crush. But she never let it go more than a student-teacher relationship. She reviewed him; low self esteem, yet very brilliant. She remembered he had light brown hair, though looking at him now; his hair was concealed beneath a purple turban. Why is he wearing on anyways, thought Mizy.
A sudden wave of silence jerked Mizy out of her thoughts. Curious, she turned to look at the sorting. She watched as a small boy walk up to the stool and place the hat on his head, the hat almost covering his eyes. Nooni poked Mizy.
"It's Harry Potter." She whispered. Mizy observed the boy.
"Well, at least he has dark hair." Mizy remarked. Nooni playfully shoved her.
As Mizy and Nooni leaned back, having eaten enough, Mizy sneaked a glance at Quirrell. He also had finished his dinner. His eyes wandered around the Hall, and Mizy looked away or else he would have found her staring at him. The desserts in front of her dissolved, leaving behind a sparkly clean dish. There was a sudden hush as Dumbledore got to his feet.
"Ahem." He began, "Just a few more words now that we are all fed and watered. I have a few start-of-terms notices to give you.
"First years should note that the forest on the grounds is forbidden to all pupils…" As he spoke, Mizy's mind zoned out. She had heard this part many times, and as a Ravenclaw, she felt no need to break the rule and enter the Forbidden Forest. As her thoughts wandered to the dormitories where her bed laid, Dumbledore finished, "And finally, I must tell you that this year, the third-floor corridor on the right-hand side is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a very painful death."
At this, Nooni smirked a little; Mizy did not whether Dumbledore was joking or not, but thought best to heed his warning. Dumbledore smiled widely, and waved his wand. Mizy groaned quietly, she just remembered that Dumbledore always ended the feast with them singing the Hogwart's song, and was not a bit surprised to see that even Quirrell's smile had become fixed.
"Everyone pick your favorite tune, and sing along!" Dumbledore said enthusiastically. Mizy heard other low compliments, but pulled herself straight and began lip synching quickly.
"Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hoggy Warty Hogwarts,
Teach us something please,
Whether we be old and bald,
Or young with scabby knees
Our heads could do with filling,
With some interesting stuff,
For now they're bare and full of air,
Dead flies and bits of fluff,
So teach us things worth knowing,
Bring back what we've forgot,
Just do your best, we'll do the rest,
And learn until our brains all rot."
As she finished, she leaned back again, feeling extremely tired. As more people finished singing, and the hall fell to a silence broken only by the two Weasley twins singing along to a very slow funeral march. Dumbledore conducted the last few of their lines with his wand, and at the end, a few sparks actually shot from his wand. Mizy couldn't help but grin. Dumbledore stood again, and bid them all a good night. Mizy got to her feet, helped Nooni's lazy butt up, and the two followed the crowd of students out of the hall and up the stairs to the tower. As they approached the Ravenclaw Common Room, the head girl knocked and answered the riddle (which Mizy and Nooni did not hear since they were in the middle of the line) and the Ravenclaws filed sleepily into the room. Mizy pulled off her robes and threw herself onto the bed of which she loved so much, and fell into a deep sleep.
