Hi this is a new story. It popped in my head when I was watching the Harry Potter Marathon.
I own almost all of the characters and the plot.
The school and the characters that were in the original series belong to J.K. Rowling.
Thank you, please enjoy.
The Girl From Slytherin House
Narrator's POV:
Marissa wanted all of her life to be special. Most of the time everyone payed attention to her brother and sister. Her brother was two years older than her and her sister was three years older.
Her brother, Michael, was 13 and in 8th grade. He was in a special school called Hogwarts. He had been going there for two years. His sister, Jennifer, was in 9th grade and also went to Hogwarts.
Michael was a second year and Jennifer was a third year.
Both of Marissa's parents were wizards, and so far everyone in her family was in Gryffindor. Marissa's parents constantly talked about her siblings and all of there accomplishments.
Marissa's POV:
Jennifer is dating James, one of Harry Potters children, yep I bet you have heard that name before. The famous Harry Potter who slayed the Dark lord.
Well now since my sister is dating his son, she is all famous and all powerful. Jen (that's her nickname.) got on the Quidditch team on her first year. She is a Keeper and she makes sure every year the Gryffindor wins the cup.
Michael went into a potions class in his first year and he made a new potion. It was an accident, but no one cares. It was also my fault, no one cares about that either.
The potion was the most effective Healing potion ever made. I made a recipe for a potion and asked Michael if it was a real potion made at Hogwarts. He snubbed his nose at it and said, "No, of course not! Why would you think that."
Well he brought it to Hogwarts by accident and when he was in his potions class, he switched his recipe with the recipe that they were using in class. When the teacher came over to look at the brew he tested it on a hurt mouse. The recipe was supposed to kill the rat, but instead it healed it and made it healthier than any other potion could.
He became famous for it. When everyone asked him where he made the potion, he said he made the recipe one day. He was just 'playing around when he made it.' Then he accidentally switched the recipes.
It wasn't fair, He didn't even mention me. I made the recipe and he said that he did. He became famous from my work.
Well now I am 11. My Hogwarts letter came and I get to go. I want to be like my brother and sisters, but I can't. I want to be in the spotlight but I can't.
I know that everyone will just look at me as the youngest child, the one that is just there.
On the train to Hogwarts I made a friend. Her name is Agatha Wood. Her father was Oliver Wood. He was on the Quidditch team with Harry for three years before he graduated.
(remember the guy who taught Harry how to play as the seeker? That's him.)
Well we sat together on the train and talked about our families and us.
"I love potion making, I don't know why... It is just so fun..." Agatha told me when I asked her what her hobby was.
I told Agatha about my brother, Michael.
"He was the one who made the new healing potion right?!" She exclaimed jumping up and down.
"Yeah, why?" I ask, already knowing the answer. Here we go again, with all of the girls liking my brother, making him sound way better than me.
"Well he is super cute, and he made that new potion so I was wondering if he was single...?" She turns to me excitedly.
"He is single, but don't join his fan club, he hates almost every single girl in his fan club." I give her a smirk and her face falters.
"Do you know what he likes in a girl?" She asks eyes shining.
"Be yourself, if he doesn't like you it's his fault." I say turning away.
She sighs and says, "People ask that a lot don't they... I am sorry I just... He made that potion and that was super cool... I liked potion making before I heard about him..."
Every time someone says that I want to scream, 'I made the potion!'
But I can't. I remember when I told my mom, she said that I was just trying to get attention and I shouldn't go around spreading rumors like that.
I remember her telling my dad. He got mad at me, He said If I ever spread rumors again that I would be in super trouble. Meaning no Hogwarts.
A Woman comes around with a trolley and says, "Would you dears like anything off of the Trolley?"
One look at the trolley and my mouth started watering. I was about to ask for something but then remembered I didn't have any money. My mom told me to ask Jen or Michael for some. I did and they didn't share. Now I have nothing.
Agatha orders 2 chocolate frogs and 2 licorice wands. She hands the lady the money and then hands me one of each. I smile at her gratefully and she says, "Hope you enjoy, What house do you want to get in?"
"Gryffindor, and thank you, I have never eaten a chocolate frog before, they always go to my brother and sister."
A smile brightens her face as she asks, "I want to be in Gryffindor too, That would be so cool if we are in it together, Who's your sister?"
My smile melts, "Jennifer Powers."
"Oh, she's the one dating James right, Harry Potters son?" She asks chewing on her Licorice wand.
I nod, not wanting to speak. She reaches for one of her books and starts reading. We sit in silence the rest of the ride. I had to gasp when I seen the castle, I mean who wouldn't!?
It was huge! You could see the Quidditch field (I want to be a seeker) and you could see the huge windows and everything!
When we got inside I was so went into the dining hall and our headmistress began her speech. Headmistress McGonagall. She began her speech which was long and I really didn'tpay attention. Then she got all of us first years to come up the the sorting hat.
I was one of the first Kids. Agatha was in front of me. She sat down and the hat was placed on her head. It thought for a moment, "Gryffindor!" It yelled and Agatha beamed. She skipped down and sat next to Lily Luna Potter, who got claimed just before her. (Harry's youngest child is Lily Luna Potter.)
When it was my turn Lily gave me a thumbs up and I smiled big. As soon as the choosing hat made it's decision, my smile faded.
"Slytherin!" It boomed. My smile faded and I looked back to my brother and sister. They both stared at me mouths open in shock.
I got up and shuffled over to Slytherin.
I sat down next to a girl with black hair and dark brown eyes. She scowled at me and I shrank back.
There were a bunch of kids here who looked all dark and brooding. I stared at the sorting hat as it called other kids to their tables. I wanted to cry. My family has been Gryffindor for as long as I can remember, I mean from my great-grandparents on both sides all of the way down to my brother everyone had been a Gryffindor, why was I the only one who got Slytherin!
When I tried to approach my brother during lunch, he walked away from me. A girl snickered, "Slytherin." I bowed my head and went to find my sister.
As soon as I seen her I wanted to leave. She was sitting with James. They were talking about stuff and would kiss every now and then. I wanted to leave but I need to talk to someone. She was laughing and then some kid says, "Hey did you see that Slytherin kid today, looked like she wanted to cry, such a baby."
Jen whipped her head to find the kid who said it. She let go of James' hand and stormed up to the kid, pinning his neck against the wall.
"That so called baby, is my little sister," She turns around, not letting go of the kids neck, "If any of you dare to make fun of her, you wont be found the next morning. Got it!?"
She drops the kid who starts coughing and then she storms toward the door. I jump back and she pushes through.
"Jenny" I say, eyes full of tears. She told me never to call her Jenny unless I was like super sad or something.
When she locks eyes with me she rushes over and hugs me.
"Hey Miny me." She whispers. Our parents had come up with this running joke that If I was older me and Jen could be twins. Ever since she called me a miny her.
"Are you-Are you mad at me?"I ask trying not to sob. She lifts my head and says, "Why would I be mad at you?"
"Well I'm in Slytherin, Michael wouldn't even talk to me." I say blinking back tears, "And didn't mom and dad say they could never accept a child in Slytherin. They said they wouldn't let me come home if I was in Slytherin."
I bow my head and she sighs, "They can't kick you out without kicking me out too, You are my sister and I will be with you until the end."
I stare into her eyes as the bell rings, signaling the end of Lunch.
"Get going, make some friends, see you at Dinner." She says putting on her best Fake smile. I turn and take a deep breath. I am on my way to Potion making, maybe I will see Agatha there. We can still be friends right?
So I would appreciate constructive criticism but I guess you guys can yell at me for bad writing because I have almost 4 other fan fics so I guess write whatever review you want. Let me know if this is a story most of you would read :)
bye for now.
