The Great Adventures of Avery Draw

I was waiting for the train at platform 9 ¾. It was a rather gloomy day, all cloudy and raining on and off. To tell you the truth I like days like this. They make me happy for some reason. I am NOT Goth but sometimes I can tell people think I am.

The whistle blew loud and proud. Most people would cover their ears but I like loud noises sometimes, so I didn't.

My twin sister and I were the only ones on the train. I figured this was a good thing since we had several hours to tell each other about ourselves. Now what I just said my sound weird to you because we are twins but we have only known each other for about a week. This is because we were separated at birth. All I know about her is that she was going to go to another wizard school. I am not sure the name because I just found out I was a wizard like 2 months ago.

I boarded the train and then met my sister in the 3rd to last compartment. I chose this compartment because I always am uneasy, I feel like people are going to come looking for me to kill me or take me to Azkaban as you wizards call it. We met up in a comfy looking part of the compartment.

I looked directly into her eyes. They were a deep shade of grey. (Personally I hate grey eyes. But I guess I had to live with someone with grey eyes =(.) I told her that I had lived with normal people my whole life then she muttered something about being mugged? Anyway she said that she had lived with wizards her whole life and was curious about me. She almost read my mind when she knew that I could change my hair color without chemical treating it. When I said yes she simply nodded her head, which was a blazing shade of red, her hair that is. She told me that she was supposed to go to a wizarding school in France until the ministry of magic saw that there were 2 people with the last name Draw and were the same age, which was extremely unusual.

When we reached Hogwarts, Sydney's eye color was hazel. I thought this was odd because when we got on the train her eyes were dark grey. Or were they?

It was dark by the time we got to the castle. Then the teachers said we had to put on a ratty old hat and sit on a stool! How ridiculous. Strange minds wizards have, don't they?

I was extremely tired when Sydney got off the stool 45 min. later! I was scared that I would fall asleep on the stool. When I got on the stool I heard a strange voice. Like someone was talking to me but no one who was watching me was talking. So I decided not to listen to the voice in case this was a test. Completely ignoring the hat was difficult when it was screaming at you. So I finally gave up and listened to the hat. It said something like "make it so I can understand"

Then in my head I asked what and the hat said "YOUR THOUGHTS!"

So I replied, "Why should I?"

The hat said " BECAUSE!"

I thought what a rude, impatient hat. The hat then seemed to realize that he WAS being rude so he asked politely "Where are you from?"

I then, thinking that he had seen his mistake replied, " I am from Germany."

Then I translated my thoughts from German to English. When I was done the hat screamed out "GRYFFINDOR!"

Everybody was asking why it took so long then Sydney and I said that we had to translate our thoughts.

I immediately went to bed. I was so tired I didn't know where I slept that night.

When I woke up I put on my robes and went to wake up Sydney. Well I knew that was a bad choice when Sydney woke up and slapped me in the face. She said she had a nightmare but I didn't believe that. Then we were escorted out to the dining hall. Lots of people were there. It was very scary to be in front of lots of people like that.

I am not sure what happened next, maybe I fainted. I am not completely sure, but next thing I know, I'm in what looks like a hospital. The nurse or what seemed to be was looking panicked. I asked her what she was worried about and she suddenly looked very relieved. I then asked her again had she simply said she didn't know what was wrong with me. Worry washed over me, a tickly feeling replaced the worry on my scalp, and I knew my hair was now light blue…

"OOOOOHHHH! My, I didn't know we had a Metamorphmagus currently enrolled in Hogwarts." The nurse lady replied.

I blushed and felt the tickly feeling again, now my hair was dark purple. Ugh this can get annoying. What I really wanted to do is talk to my sister. BADLY! I got up and walked to the door. Then the nurse who's name I could read now was Madam Pomfrey said that I was not allowed to leave until she figured out what was wrong with me. I said that I simply fainted. Madam Pomfrey was intrigued that I knew that. Then I said that it happened all the time in the real non-wizarding world.

I went down a couple flights of stairs then realized I didn't know where I was going. So I turned around and looked up the staircase I had just come down. It seemed to be going in a different direction. Hmmmmmm. I went up it anyway. Then I went up another and another. The stairs seemed to be moving! I couldn't believe my eyes! Well then I thought, "I want to see more." As I started moving around the castle looking for someone to ask where I was going. As I was wandering I noticed that all of the pictures moved and talked, I thought this was very interesting. As I walked I started talking back and having deep conversations with the pictures. Some of them I felt were very nice and others I didn't care for. I came upon a knight with a name I could not remember and monks. One of the pictures really stood out to me. It was a rather fat lady. When I came by her and stood to enjoy her beautiful artwork she asked me what the password was. I asked what password? And she said um nothing. Well now I was rather curious and decided to wait around until someone else knew the password.

Then a tall girl who looked old came by and asked me how I was and I said well, but I was lost.

"Well. I see that is a problem. What house are you in? "

"Um. What are the houses?"

" Oh I remember you. You're the metemorphmagus Avery Draw!"

"WHY DOES EVERYBODY KEEP CALLING ME A METEMORPHMAGUS! WHAT IS A METEMORPHMAGUS!"

"Oh yes you were raised by muggles. A metemorphmagus is someone who can change their appearance. And I believe you are in Gryffindor."

"Where is Gryffindor?"

"Gryffindor is right in front of us. The password is SunKiss."

"OK. Thank you er… Whats your name?"

"You can call me Professor McGonagall."
