"SAMANTHA ROSE SILVER MATTHEWS! WAKE UP THIS INSTANT!" I fell out of bed.
"I'm up!" I groaned. Today was the day I went to Hogwarts! Yipee…not. Your probably thinking this kid is nuts! Who doesn't want to go to Hogwarts? Well, see I'm the oldest child. Without me, this place wouldn't run. Who would keep my little Stephy from spending all our parents money? With a mother who buys her anything anyway! Who would play Potter vs Voldermort the Final Battle with Alex? Who would keep the monsters away from Summer? My mother just doesn't understand I am an important contributer in this family!
"SAMANTHA ROSE SILVER MATTHEWS!" ugh. I walked downstairs to the breakfast dining room. And yes, I said breakfast. There's also dinner, lunch, brunch, formal, and not-so-formal. See my family well decends, you could say, from the Silver family. And if you don't know who that is consider yourself lucky! In the wizarding world, having the last name Silver is dangerous. Don't ask why, it just is. Let's just say that it's better if the world thinks we died out, that's why my last name is Matthews.
"There you are!" My mom said as I entered the kitchen. The kitchen she has when she wants to cook, sometimes (every other day) she'll have the house-elves do it.
"Samantha, be a sweetheart and feed your sister." She ordered.
"Sam." I gritted through my teeth. I walked back into the breakfast dining room, where sat the twerp, the angel, and the mini me, "Hey mini me." I said as I sat down in the chair next to her.
"Mommy doesn't like when you call her that." The twerp said.
I rolled my eyes, "Just eat your stupid breakfast demon-child."
"MOMMY!" It yelled., "She called me demon-child again!"
My mom came rushing in, "Samantha you know not to call your sister names! I gave each of you strong powerful names and I expect you to use them!Now don't call Stephanie that and feed Summer before we leave." I turned back to mini me, aka Summer Grace Silver Matthews. She's six, and already showing my amazing personality. The first time she hit my brother (he kicked her first) all my mom said was 'Merlin another one'.
Summer was frowning, she doesn't talk much, so I knew she was unhappy.
I sighed, "Just this once." She smiled and clapped her hands together. I fingered my chocolate brown hair (my natural hair color) and smirked as it changed to a violet. Summer giggled. See, I'm an metamorphmagus. Yep, pretty cool-I know. So is the angel, my eight-year old brother Alex, aka Alexander Logan Silver Matthews. I changed it to blue, to yellow, to red, to rainbow, to lime green back to my chocolate brown. She giggled, and started eating again.
I grabbed some food too, and ate. When I finished I carried Summer to her room, "Get dressed shorty." I left her in her room and went to mine. There I found my house-elf, Mally.
"Good morning Mally." The little house-elf spun around, and grinned when she saw it was me.
"Hello young mistress." She curtsied.
"Mally, my name is Sam, not mistress." I told her again, and again, and again, and again.
"Yes,sorry. Mally will remember for next time she sees you." She broke down crying.
I went over and hugged her till she stopped. "Mally has packed your luggage for your journey. Mally would also like ask if mistress Sam, can tell Mally's cousin Melly hello. Melly works in the kitchens at Hogwarts."
I didn't bother to correct her, "I'll say hello to her. I'm going to miss you Mally."
"Mally will miss young Sam too." I smiled and hugged her.
I left Mally to do whatever she was doing, and went to check on Summer.
"Hey." I said, she was by her window playing with fairies. "You know mom doesn't like it when you bring fairies into the house." She smiled and put a finger to her lips. I smiled back, "Yes, I won't tell." I kneeled down to her level, "It will be our little secret." Her chocolate brown eyes shined with excitement, she loved secrets. I tucked a stray hair back into place, I loved her light brown hair. It was beautiful.
"Summer, your dress is on backwards, and your shoes are on the wrong feet." I raised an eyebrow to her. She put her hands together, "Fine I'll help shorty." I helped her fix her purple dress, put her shoes on the right feet, and brushed her hair. "There all done." She got up and skipped out the hall.
I rolled my eyes and followed her. When we got downstairs, there was our mom, Stephanie, Alex and my luggage, "Let's go Samantha." My mother said. With a wave of her wand my luggage was in the car. I strapped Summer in her carseat, and buckled in Alex-who gave me a dirty look. I sighed and got in the passenger seat.
Not soon enough, we were at King's Cross. I put my stuff in a cart along with Autumn my owl . I followed my mom, usually my brother would be riding in the cart acting like that one guy from that movie Titanic, but instead he was holding Summer's hand following our mother.
"Always packed with muggles! Hasn't changed in the least bit!" my mother complained. Suddenly she stopped, "Samantha darling, just walk straight through the barrier. Like this." My mother walked-no strutted into the wall with my siblings. Yawn, I already knew that'd happen. I walked through the barrier lazily, finding my mother quickly.
"Well darling, I hope you have an amazing year, owl us everyday!" if there's one thing my mother cares about it's appearance.
"Oh cut the act, you old bat." A voice said behind her.
"Aunt Jesse!" Stephanie and Alex cried, I knew what was about to happen so I spun around,
"Hello, Wood." I said at a pink-faced Kylee. The daughter of Oliver and Jessica Wood.
"Have to ruin my fun, don't ya Matthews." She said.
"Always," I smirked. Aunt Jesse really isn't my aunt, just my mother's closest friend. So me and Kylee were raised together. She's starting her first year too.
"Come here and hug me Miss Sam." Aunt Jesse said. I walked over and gave my favorite aunt a hug.
"My, my, look at that beauty! Your mother will have to lock you up in that house of yours soon." Aunt Jesse said, "Which reminds me Lucy…" she turned and started talking to my mom.
"Okay twerps, you have three seconds to say good-bye to your darling sister before I steal her." Kylee said. Nothing. They didn't even move! "Geez fine then you little brats! You won't see your sister till next summer!" Me and Kylee started walking away, until someone pulled on my sleeve. I turned aroud. It was Stephanie.
"We're really gonna miss you." She said. Wow..am I on some muggle show were they come out and say gotcha! I hugged her anyway
"Bye Stephy. You're the oldest till I get back, if you need any help owl me." She nodded glumly.
I looked over at Summer, she ran up and hugged me, "Bye my little Summer. Be good."
"Bye Sammy." She said. I swear I wouldv'e broken down crying right there, if Kylee wasn't there to make fun of me right after. I squeezed her one last time, and let go. I looked hopefully at Alex. He turned away I sighed, I knelt down and made him look at me,
"Lexie, come on I'm about to leave. Please talk to me."
"No! Your leaving me! Your leaving Summer and Stephy! Why you go!I hate you!" he yelled.
I took a sharp intake of breathe,none of my family had ever said that.
"You don't mean that-"
"Yes I do!"he turned around and wouldn't budge.
I sighed, "Well you might hate me, but I'm sorry I still have to leave. I don't want to, but I do. And right now, our sisters need you to be there to fill in till I come home. Think of it as an adventure."
The word adventure caught his attention, "An adventure?"
"An adventure, you save the princesses while their older sister is gone alas to go to a dreaded place called school, where she has to do horrid tasks such as the L word."
"The L word."
"Yes the L word, Learn." He did a tiny gasp.
"You can count on me!"
"I knew I could, and for your bravery young knight." I turned my hair silver-his favorite color.
He gasped, "Sam, your not supposed to use your powers in public!"
I shrugged, (little did I know someone was watching me) "I love you Lexie." I changed my hair back.
"I love you too Sammy. I could never hate you." I hugged him close. Then grabbed my stuff and walked away with Kylee.
We waved good-bye to our family, and I swear I saw Summer float.
"Come on let's find a compartment." Kylee said. We didn't find an empty one but we did find one with only two people in it toward the back of the compartment.
"Hello, may we sit here?" Kylee asked.
"Sure" a voice said. We put our luggage up. That's when I noticed the two boys in the compartment. One had ginger hair with blue eyes, and the other had unruly black hair with hazel eyes.
Ginger spoke, "I'm Fred. Fred Weasley, and this is my partner in crime James Potter." He pointed to hazel eyes.
"We don't need names. Merlin, Matthews here has probably already got names for you."
"You don't say, well what are they?" He asked looking at me.
"Watch it Wood." I spoke dangerously.
She snorted, "Yeah right,Matthews." I gave a death glare. She stood her ground, till she suddenly burst out laughing. And you know what they say laughing is contagious. Soon I was laughing with her.
"What she said was true though, your Ginger." I laughed.
"Ginger! I actually like that one Matthews." Kylee said.
I rolled my eyes, "This is Kylee Wood and I'm Sam Matthews."
Hazel boy-I'm sorry I should really start using people's real names. Well anyway James looked at me and smiled, I smiled back. "Oi! Sam!" Kylee yelled in my eaar.
"What?" I said dryly.
"I got that thing from that store." I raised an eyebrow, "That thing." Now both eyebrows were raised.
"Ugh! The thing Samantha!"
"WHAT did you just call me?" I yelled.
"Ugh, forget it! All I wanted to do was a prank but no-"
"Oh! That thing!" As I said it, Kylee threw her hands up.
"Prank?Did you say prank?" Ginger-Fred said. Kylee and I shared a look,
"What's it to ya?" "Yeah, what are ya'll goody goodies? Teacher's pets." "Wanna-be Prefects."
"Wow, ladies." Fred threw his hands up in surrender.
"I'm a fellow prankster." That caught Kylee's intrest. They started talking and talking about pranks. I looked at James, he was looking back. He nodded towared the two. I nodded my head.
"So do you like Quiddtich?" he asked.
"No, I'm pretty sure I love Qudditich not like." I said. He laughed.
"What position?"
"Chaser, you play?"
He smiled, "Yeah, me and Fred are going to be beaters. My little brother likes Seeker, when he plays. He always has his head stuck in a book."
I laughed, "I know how that is. I love Qudditich, so does my little brother, and hopefully my baby sister. But my sister Stephanie, it's like teaching a baby how to fillout paper work for the Ministry."
He laughed with me, "You're the oldest?"
"Yep. Stephanie is ten, Alex is eight, and Summer is six."
"Wow, I only have two. Albus who's ten and Lily who's eight."
"Consider yourself lucky. I mean Alex is a male-version of me, except I'm not obsessed with Harry Potter. Then Summer, I call her my mini-me. Stephanie is the problem; she's always telling my mom if I do one thing she thinks my mom would disapprove of."
"Spoiled brat I'm assuming." I nodded, "Well Lily is the tale-tell in our family. Wait did you say your brother is obsessed with Harry Potter?"
"Yeah. My uncle has in embedded in his brain that Harry Potter is the best seeker alive. Well, not really my uncle, he's Kylee's dad."
"Oh, my dad's Harry Potter."
"Oh really? That's cool. Is that supposed to impress me?"
"No-"he was cut off by Fred.
"James, man, these girls are amazing pranksters!"
"Well, Sam usually thinks of them, and I usually carry them out." Kylee said.
"Excuse me!" I said. Kylee gulped, "Well, uh , me and Sam carry them out."
"That's what I thought." I said satisfied. We turned to the boys who seemed to have made a decision about something.
"Have you ever heard of the Marauders?"James asked.
Kylee and I looked at him like he was an idiot. Then we both said at the same time, "Are you kidding? They are our heroes!" Then realization hit and I said slowly, "Your James Potter's grandson." He nodded.
Kylee let out a tiny gasp.
"Well we were wondering if you ladies would consider recreating the Marauders with us." James finished. Kylee and I looked at each other, then at the same time, "Hell yeah!"
Fred and James burst with grins, "Well now we need nicknames."
Before anyone could speak the door opened. A small girl came in, "Uh, I'm sorry,uh but may I uh join you?" Kylee,"'s your name?"
"Ellie Reynolds. I'm sorry it just these boys wouldn't leave me alone they kept on calling me names." She looked ready to cry.
I gasped, "They called her the M word." The boys looked confused, Kylee looked murderous. "She's Muggleborn guys." Realization hit the boys. I hugged Ellie. I didn't know her, but no one should ever be called that. I didn't even notice Fred leave until he and another boy came in. I looked up; the boy was wearing a prefect badge and had turquoise hair and purple eyes.
I gasped; Kylee knew what that meant, "NO! Absolutely Not! I don't care Sam! Don't give me that look!" I put on my best pouty face, perfected by Summer, "Please, please, please, please, please, please, please." Kylee refused to look at me, "NO! And that's final!" She looked down, "Oh Merlin, Fine." I squealed.
The boys looked confused. The new boy just said, "Uh, is everything okay?"
Fred finally looked back at the boy, "No Teddy, some boys called her the M word."
"Can you show them to me?" 'Teddy' asked. Ellie nodded, but wouldn't let go of me, "Don't worry, you'll be back with your friends soon," he smiled. When they walked out of the compartment
"Teddy!" I yelled he turned back, "Yeah?"
"Nice hair." I changed my hair to turquoise.
His smile got bigger, "Cool hair." Me and Kylee laughed.
"Only you would've done that!" Kylee said. We were rolling on the floor laughing so hard. We finally stopped and sat back into our seats.
James smiled a crooked smile, "So you're a metamorphmagus too?"
"Yep and darn proud of it!" I said beaming.
"Yeah, no matter what her mother dearest says!" Kylee laughed. Once Fred came back from la-la-land he and Kylee started talking again.
"So, I'm assuming you're a pureblood whose parents are-" I stopped James there.
"My parents aren't prejudice. My uncle and my dad are twins, and my uncle got attacked by a werewolf, yet I love him for it. Every generation on my mom's side there are metamorphmaguses, my mom and her twin were ones. My parents only hire house-elves and if we treat them like dirt, they would have our heads!"
"I'm sorry I just assumed." He looked so adorable and really sorry. I sighed,
"I'm sorry James, I just hate when people make accusations about my family-"
"Without knowing them," He raised an eyebrow, "You're talking to Harry Potter's son." I laughed. The door opened and in came Ellie. I finally noticed what she looked like; she had red pin-straight hair with hazel eyes. I scooted over so she could sit. She sat down and a silence came over all of us.
"I'm Sam Matthews; this is Kylee Wood, Fred Weasley, and James Potter." She nodded.
"What house do you want to be in?"James asked me.
"Oh, I'm not sure." I said meekly.
"I want to be Gryffindor!" He said, "My whole family has been there. So does Fred."
Kylee, "I want to be in Gryffindor, my dad and my mom went there." She and Fred started talking again.
I turned to Ellie, "What house do you want to be in?" She lifted her head,
"Any sounds good to me!" I laughed with her. The compartment opened again. Teddy came through,
"You might want to change into your robes. I'm sorry I haven't introduced myself. I'm Teddy Lupin."
"I'm Kylee Wood and this is Sam Matthews. Oh Sam, you have to change your hair back." I nodded solemnly. After we changed the train rolled to a stop. I changed my hair back to its normal chocolate-ness. When we stepped off the train we were directed to a lake with boats. There I saw the tallest man I had ever seen, he told us to go into the boats, three people per boat. Kylee and I separated from the boys with Ellie, and got into a boat. When the boats started to move, Ellie let out a squeak. Soon we were at Hogwarts. Wow, it was as big as the Silver family mansion, where my Nana and Popa live. We walked up a staircase where a small man was, "Thank you Hagrid." The small man said who turned out to Professor Flitwick. (A/n I'm just going to skip a lot sorry, there at the sorting I'm only going to do a couple of kids.)
"Creevy, Brandy" I was a little nervous, okay a lot nervous. I guess James realized this because he grabbed my hand, "its okay Sam. Just be in Gryffindor." He smiled.
"GRYFFINDOR"
"Longbottom, Katherine."
"That's Professor Longbottom's daughter, he teaches Herbology." James explained. The girl had a chubby face and black curly hair and chocolate eyes.
"GRYFFINDOR"
Other names were called too and James talked to me through the whole thing.
"Matthews, Samantha." Automatically I said, "It's Sam." Oh wait that's me. James squeezed my hand and let go. I walked up there acting confident; inside I was a nervous wreck!
Professor Flitwick put the hat on my head and it went dark.
"Hmmm, very interesting. You have secrets you don't even tell your best friend. What's this? A Silver! I haven't had a Silver since your father. Oh you're the oldest, hmmm. Well obviously you would fit in any house by blood. You're very loyal-you would do anything for those you love. You're cunning, but not vindictive enough to be Slytherin. You're smart, very smart. And your courageous, yes brave you are. Where would you like to go child?"
"I'm not sure." I said biting my lip.
"Yes you are, you want to be in Gryffindor with the boy you love. Or about to love anyway. Better Be
GRYFFINDOR!' I took the hat off and placed it back on the stool, and started walking to my house table, but then I turned around as the hat spoke again.
"Greatness is to be expected from you. I hope to see you again young Silver." I rushed to my table and sat down next to Katherine Longbottom.
"Potter, James."Silence filled the room as the first child of Harry Potter was called; a moment after the hat touched his head, "GRYFFINDOR"
I yelled and clapped my hands and hugged James as he sat next to me. A few catcalls rang out and I blushed as I sat down.
"Reynolds, Eleanor."
After a minute, "GRYFFINDOR" I screamed, and hugged Ellie as she sat across from me.
"Skeeter, Brittany."
"That's Rita Skeeter's niece." James whispered, I remember talking about her, real prude.
"GRYFFINDOR"
"Weasley, Fred." The hat barely touched his head; "GRYFFINDOR" Fred smirked as he sat down.
Finally,
"Wood, Kylee." The hat was on her head, minutes later, "GRYFFINDOR"
I screamed as loud as I could. Kylee took off the hat and bowed and yelled to me, "Was there a doubt?" I yelled back "Never!" She laughed as she ran to the Gryffindor table-sitting next to Fred mind you.
Well this is it!
