Disclaimer: I unfortunately do no own Harry Potter. I do own all unrecognized characters however!

A/N:This is my first Harry Potter fan-fiction, so when I mess up(and I know I will) please let me know! And sorry this chapter is short, but they are going to get longer. I'm one of those people who starts with small chapters that get bigger.

Chapter One: Train Ride and some Dinner

Andra gave one last look out the window at her parents, or her mother and step-father at least, but didn't wave like many of the other students. She wasn't going to miss them very much; the only reasons her parents had even brought her to the train station was so that they could have the house to themselves. They probably want to throw some parties or do something of the like.

Dragging her gaze from the window as they made it outside the train station, she turned to her two best friends: Alice Meroe, her bubbly self already talking about how her summer was, and Niki Wolf, her quiet but imposing demeanor making her someone that could keep people at bay or be a great friend. Generally, Niki was more imposing, so many avoided her when it was possible.

Neither of her best friends were violent, or really even remotely mean, so it was more up to Andra to be the one that was hurting the people who hurt Niki or Alice, or herself. The three made an interesting group, but the always managed to ignore the weird looks that were often given to them. The looks usually didn't really come from them making an interesting group, but more so from what the group actually did or talked about.

All three were oddballs, and had often been told by their peers that everyone thought they were St. Mungo crazies that had managed to escape. That was generally followed by a curse from Andra.

"Hey, Dray-dray, what did you do this summer?" Niki asked, and by the mischievous twinkle in her eyes, Andra knew she'd used the annoying nickname purposely.

"Just sat at home, attended the beginning of summer and end of summer party my mother and Dave threw, and owled you guys." She never referred to Dave as her father, or step-father, and sometimes she even used her mother's first name instead of mom. They weren't very parent-like.

"Sounds like you had fun!" Alice said, but before Andra could reply with some sarcastic remark, her talkative friend carried on. "Why weren't we invited to the party? Was it a muggle party again, or were we just not invited? Your mom never invites us to do anything, haven't you noticed? Isn't that right Niki? We've been to like, one, maybe two parties at your house Dray, and yet then we always find out there were more we could have attended but just weren't in-"

"Please shut-up for a moment," Andra demanded in a sickly sweet tone that made Alice shut-up instantly. "The reason you guys aren't invited to very many parties is because they're all filled with adults who get drunk within the first hour, and I knew you guys wouldn't want to help all the drunks out before they pass out. Also, almost all of the parties thrown are for muggles, since Dave is one himself, so yea. The only time we have wizard parties is when Dave isn't around."

Dave hadn't ever got told about the wizarding world, because Kelly didn't think it would be right to overwhelm him with it. Kelly wasn't a wizard either, which might be why she was so reluctant to tell anyone anything. The fact that her parents, real and step, weren't wizards and witches might also explain why there were so few wizarding parties at her house.

"OH! That explains why we only come to so few parties! It's not us; it's your mom and Dave! You should talk to them and tell them that you want wizard parties! Protest! Be defiant! Don't listen to them or their rules until you get what you want! Then whenever you are planning a wizard party, you can tell us, and then we can help you plan and decorate! It'll be wonderful! We should use blue and bronze only for EVERYTHING! It will be so-"

Andra put her hand over Alice's mouth. "No Alice, I don't think that would work. They have no rules to defy, and what would I protest against, as well as how?" This put her friend into a moment of thought, which was all Andra was asking for. For the rest of the ride, the three talked about what they wanted to do that year as well as about their classes. Andra was disheartened to learn she had two classes without either of her best friends, but happy that they were both on the same day before lunch.

The Sorting Hat had just finished with the last of the new students, and so now Andra, seated between Alice and Niki, was piling food onto her plate. She was almost finished with her desert when all the food disappeared, as well as the plates. Letting out a huff at not being able to finish her food, she turned her attention to the professors' table, assuming they'd be getting some news.

She was right. But it wasn't for something she expected.

Or really anything that had to do with very many people.

In fact, everyone in the Great Hall was dismissed.

"Would Miss Iverson please come to the front?"

Everyone except her.
