"Yay it or boo it but please review it." My motto. Copyrights to it go to me. THIS ONE RIGHT HERE!
Another HP. I know. I know.
GIRL, WHAT HAVE YOU GOT WITH THEM! Says my sister.
My reply: I LOVE TO READ IT AND TO WRITE IT AND WHEN I HAVE A IDEA AND I START WRITING IT, I POST IT.
That's why there is another one. This one is different though. Most things go to JKR but I own my main characters (happy dance).
I'll be following them though the chapters in order. The other three sister's are going to go slightly like this. You know, preparing for the fifth year with whoever they are with. By the way: Audrey calls the teacher's by their first name during summer break but other then that its "Profesor This and Profesor That". She grew up with them so she kinda earned the right.
Audrey 1:
"Make sure to catch up with Geremy on Transfiguration because I am pretty sure that even though you are a Gryffindor, you still want to be smarter than Ravenclaws, right?" Minerva asked, the door to her oval office opening.
I nodded happily and started walking to his room.
I knew that school would be starting in a month and all I would have to do is wait for everyone to start arriving. I have lived at the school for as long as I could remember and the teachers were my parents and the school was my home. My extremely big home.
My fifth year was about to begin and I couldn't wait to see Teddy again. He was always a laugh to be around with his pranks and his fellow Gremlins. Melanie was always the sensible one who liked to make sure that when something happened, nothing illegal would and Kira was very outgoing.
I used to be anti-social but when I met Teddy, he changed me. He became my brother and gave me advice on everything especially on how nice people were. I, in return, helped him a little with his feelings and how, when feeling emotional, stop shutting down and start being mean.
When I opened the door to Geremy Nilewood's room, he was sitting on his bed, a desk conjured up to face it. I sat down and took a quill and paper out.
"We have already gotten your books, Audrey. Please open the one on the desk to page 16 and work on making a stuffed animal into a real one." Geremy said warmly, pointing to a stack of books on the floor near the door and a leather on on the desk. It was the work of a 7th year but I was advanced. I took out my wand.
A brief memory taking me back to when Minerva had taken me to Ollivanders for a wand. He had searched for a good hour, until he finally found one.
"Here. English oak with dragon core. Eleven and a quarter inches, slightly springy." Ollivander said, handing me a light brown wand. Minerva had leaned forward in her chair and watched me wave it around. Small golden stars came out.
"You know, you are the second person that stars came out with. The other was the first one ever." His voice had changed into a toneless one. I smiled, payed and walked out with my new snowy owl, Winter, in her cage and Minerva beside me. But that was before I'd started as a first year. Now, waiting for the fifth year to start, I felt different. This time I wasn't worried about making friends because I didn't want any. This time I was worried about a prophecy that Sybil had foretold:
Four young ones, not new anymore
Had lived something, then not four
One shall come and terrify us all
One, that shall appear to us trustworthy in the fall
What they do not know is there might be one more
To try break what used to be, and is again, the four.
I knew that her prophecy ended up playing out exactly as she said but the thing that was worrying me was: Who was the four?
I shook most thoughts out of my head and focused on the large cat stuffed toy.
I cleared my throat, "Geremy? May I please keep the cat after I transfigure it?"
Geremy smiled, and as I had expected, nodded. I beamed back and looked at the book. My smile fell off my face. This was a complicated spell.
I placed the dark brown kitten toy on the desk, standing up, and looked at how my wand movements should be. Left, up, down, right with the words 'Quondam crepundia iam verus'.
I said and moved my wand as such and soft lavender light misted out and wrapped itself around the toy. It grew slightly bigger as the light suddenly disappeared and a tiny dark brown kitten was staring at me with wide blue eyes.
Geremy looked over at me from his notebook. "You already finished it? You are truly exceptional. Good job. We would do more but I have to prepare lessons. You have Potions next."
I nodded and conjured up a comfortable basket with charms to keep something in, surrounding it. I lifted the kitten, who was mewing pitifully, and stroked his tiny head. I slung the bag over my should with one hand and the basket was being held in the crook of my elbow. I kept the kitten close to be as I traveled to the dungeons where Horace was probably a potion ready. The small mews brought me back.
"Do you like the name Chocolate?" I asked the kitten who was a girl. The kitten continued mewing.
"Cocoa? Adorable Muffins? Brownie?" I kept trying, leaving my legs to lead my downstairs. The kitten kept mewing but when I reached the last name, stopped and looked at me.
"Brownie it is." I said and Brownie dug her claws into my dark blue shirt. I passed by a mirror and stopped, retracing my steps back. I paused in front of it and placed Brownie in her basket. She squirmed around for a couple seconds but them calmed down and fell asleep. I looked into the mirror and saw my waist-length black hair and brown eyes look back. My olive skin had been looking better than last year. I bit my lip as I backed away.
"Are you alright, Audrey?" The portrait of Severus asked, not unkindly though he only showed it that side with me. I walked slightly lower down the stairs and stared into Severus's face.
"Severus? Do you know who my parents were?" I asked softly. Severus cocked his head, and if i knew he wasn't a picture, i could have sworn that something flashed through his eyes. Then, a kind look was on his face.
"If you were wondering if they were ever is Azkaban. No, they weren't." He said, not unkindly. I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Severus." I replied and walked the rest of the distance down. Horace was waiting for me. I glided inside and sat down on a stool in his classroom and placed Brownie's basket on the floor.
"Audrey. Have you made the Veritaserum potion yet?" Horace asked, a big smile on his face.
"Of course." I grinned, opening the flap of my bag to take out the small potion that I had been brewing the last month and a half.
Horace made a triumphant noise. "Brilliant. As usual. For today, I just want you to study by book a couple potions we will be doing at the end of the year since you already studied the others."
I nodded and opened my bag again. I looked into its contents. Half the bag was filled with potions that fifth years would be making this year. I had done them over the summer. Books took up the other half and there was a jumper underneath it all.
Once I had finished that lesson and all the others. I sat down on my bed in the Gryffindor tower and with the charms having been lifted, Brownie was curled up on my pillow. It was almost night and I was in my PJ's. Minerva came to check on me as she did every night when school was not in session. She sat down on my bed, her dark green hat, crooked at an angle.
"Minerva?" I asked.
She nodded as an answer.
"I know who haven't done it since I was seven but can you please tell me a story?" I bit my lip nervously, waiting for her reaction.
"Alright. How about a muggle one. Your favorite one used to be Hansel and Gretel. So i'll do that one." Minerva said, smiling. I nodded and snuggled under the thin covers. I looked up at Minerva as she started recalling the story.
I remembered for my sorting ceremony, Minerva had called my name to be Audrey Hogwarts. It was extremely strange but when I walked up and had sat on the stool. It fit. This school was my home. The teachers were my parents. The portraits were my cousins. The sorting hat had chatted with me, telling me about what Minerva had done that week, I had giggled and saw faces look at me worriedly. Minerva was smiling at me as the sorting hat began to try decide my house.
My mind drifted away from that and stayed in the present. Minerva was reading me a story, Winter was in the owlery and Brownie was next to me, in a deep sleep. Yes, I nodded slowly, this was my home.
He He He. I am gonna come back with sister #2 as fast as I can but now its around midnight and I am tired and I want to go to bed. Or just type secretly of my phone in bed. Both work. As soon as my phone regains battery, that is. And I am babbling again. Anyone notice that I do that a lot?
Anywhoo. Night: Poofybird. Fluffycrab. Purplehamster/Bunnicula. Cuddlybear. Sportypenguin. Scarytiger/Scaryspider.
Those are pet names for a couple people I know. If you know any others that follow that pattern (word+animal), please tell me in a PM or a review.
Until next time,
November.
Remember: Yay it or Boo it but please review it.
