Alex Tonks own her character Corrie and I own my character Amanda.

Corrie's POV:

"I can't believe we're going to England!" I exclaim as Amanda and I are packing up to leave this sorry excuse for a school. AKA, The Salem Witches' Institute.

First off, the word 'Institute' makes it sound like a hospital for the criminally insane. We, meaning me and my best friend(we'll get to her in a moment) and the other leeches you call students, just call it SWI.

Wait, I should probably introduce myself. I'm Corrie Elizabeth Tonks. As in, the niece of Nymphadora Tonks. And yes, I'm a metamorphmagus. My hair is a medium length shag, normally black with purple and blond in it. My hair turns color unwillingly with my mood. I'm part Kiwi(New Zealander), part American, and part British. Mostly kiwi. I have two tattoos: one star on my hip bone that is only visible when I'm in my undies or a bikini, and one on the back of my neck that says Tonks. I have a few piercings too; a nose ring, my ears are slightly gauged just big enough for a tongue ring, and my tongue is pierced.

My best friend is Amanda Lacerda. She's part Brazilian, part British. She's an animagus. She turns into a Silver wolf. Her hair is long down to her middle back, naturally black with red bangs and red tips. Then there's random spots and streaks of silver through it. We have known each other since first year. We are both in fourth year and currently packing up to get on a 9 am flight to Britain where we will then take a train to Hogwarts. She has several tattoos; simple black dragon on right leg, invisible flames that are only visible in black light on her left leg, star on right thigh, Japanese symbol for wolf on right wrist, the word wolf on lower left back, paw print on right lower back, and on both upper arms are twin wrap tattoos that look like bracelets. She also has several piercings; her right ear is all studded, her left ear has 3 piercings, 1 industrial and snake bites on her lip.

"Oh, please, Corrie. We're both FROM England. It's not a big deal." Amanda says from under her bed.

"YOU'RE from England. I've lived in New Zealand and America my whole life. Wait, what the hell are you doing under your bed mate?"

"I lost a shoe. Ah! There it is...OUCH!" She pulls out holding a gray shoe, probably air walk, and holding her head.

"Hit your head?"

"Obviously!"

"Sorry. Don't have to be snappy about it. Just finish packing already." I must add, it was quite hilarious watching Amanda trying to sit on her suitcase to close it. At one point, she fell off it and it popped open, spreading all her clothes about.

I couldn't hold it in anymore. I bust up laughing and was met by a pillow to the face.

"Shut up and help me." I kept giggling as I picked up her clothes and handed them to her. She just stuffed them in the bag.

"They're going to get wrinkled."

"Whatever, we're witches, we can just cast a charm on them." I rolled my eyes. Just then, the bane of my existence walked into our room. The girls' dorm adviser , Ms. Rodriguez.

"Girls, I expect you two to be up and ready to leave for the airport at eight AM sharp."

"Eight AM? The plane doesn't leave till nine!" I argued.

"Eight AM, and if the two of you are not ready, I will leave you to get to the airport yourselves."

"I'd rather walk to the airport than get stuck in a car with you. No offense." Amanda snapped.

"Please ignore her. She's in a foul mood." I shot her a look.

"Get your act together Miss. Lacerda. Or Hogwarts might possibly send you back. Which I don't know why we even accepted you two in the first place." And by the way, she's a bitch.

"Well shove it then if that's the way you feel about us. We work out asses off to get on your good side and you're going to be this nasty. You know what, go get laid!" I snapped, my hair turning fire red.

"Well, you better be nicer to me! I have the right to forbid you to go."

"Technically, you don't. We already have our parents permission and the headmaster's permission. And that's ALL that matters. You have no say in the matter." I roll my eyes at Amanda's logic.

"Well, I never!" She huffed and walked out.

"Geez Corrie, where did that come from?"

"I don't know. But nice work with the logic, Mandy. That really helped." My hair turned back to normal. "Let's just finish packing." And that's what we did.

The next day, we got up, Ms. Rodriguez took us to the airport, we took the plane and now we are on the train to Hogwarts with several people. A Hufflepuff prefect named Cedric Diggory. I was bugging him with a lot of meaningless questions, just because I don't like him.

"So, what the HELL is a Hufflepuff?" I asked him.

"Honestly, I don't know." He rubbed his eyes. I'm aggravating him. Goal complete!

"What are the four houses again?" I asked.

"I've already told you FOUR times."

"Mmm, well I forgot. Tell me again."

"There's Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. Okay?"

"Okay, and how are we sorted?"

"Oh for the love of Merlin. You already know! Would you just shut up!" Mandy snapped from the window seat.

"Well." I crossed my arms and just waited. I remember I had a special charm on my zune so I could listen to it. Even though the magic would normally interfere, the charm I found in The Basic Charms Every Teenage Witch Or Wizard Needs To Know, a book my mum got me for my birthday, is fool proof. And there's a recharging charm for MP3's and laptops, which I brought too. I pulled out my zune and plugged my ear buds in. I then shut the world out.

I was gently shaken awake by Cedric. I didn't wake up, so Mandy then licked her hand and then slapped my arm. That woke me up.

"What the hell, Manda!"

"You wouldn't get up." I scowled at her while I grabbed my bags and headed for this very greasy teacher.

"Um hi!" I piped.

"Hello. Miss. Tonks? I presume."

"Yep, that's me. And you are?" And you are very greasy sir.

"Professor Snape, the Potions master."

"Hello Professor." Mandy came up behind me.

"Hello Miss. Lacerda?"

"Yes, that's me. And yes, you pronounced it right."

"Well, grab your bags and follow me." Snape seemed very melancholic. I whispered to Mandy.

"Cedric's wrong, Snape is actually kind of nice in a 'watch your ass' sort of way."

"Yeah, he's not that evil at all."

"Wait till you get into my class. Hopefully you two are in Slytherin."

"Oh, we already know what houses we'll be in by just hearing of them"

"And which house is that?" Mandy and I looked at each other and then replied simultaneously.

"Gryffindor."

"Ah. Well, good luck in that house." We get to Dumbledore's office and this old hat sorts us both into Gryffindor.

We get changed into our robes and walk into the Great Hall. All eyes, on us. Mandy has no problem just walking in and sitting next to this ginger haired boy. I, however, look around and get nervous. I hate attention. Especially when I'm new and know no one. These two identical red heads get up and escort me to the table. Geez, they must think I'm retarded. I sit between them across the Ginger and Mandy. Everyone resumes talking and eating.

"Thanks for the help Manda. I must of looked like an idiot."

"Oh and idiot is an understatement. Corrie, you looked like a deer caught in the head lights."

"Shut up." I noticed the red head glaring at me or someone behind me. "Hi." He snapped out of his glare.

"Hi." His face turned red. I turn around and see this blond boy with this permanent sneer on his face. Staring at me or the ginger. I don't know anymore. Joy. I turned back around and started to eat. This bushy haired girl didn't seem to like me very much. I stayed quiet the whole dinner. The two boys who escorted me to the table are Fred and George. Apparent pranksters like Mandy and myself.

"And this," Fred pointed to the Ginger. "is our ickle brother Ron."

"Yes, isn't he so tiny?" George said, obviously picking fun at Ron. I don't know, he's kind of cute. Ron that is. He seems like that cute shy type.

Dinner ended. I followed Ron up to the Gryffindor common room while Mandy was trying to talk to this boy named Harry Potter. But he seemed to ignore her. Ron seems nice. He's the only one who hasn't shown their obvious dislike of me. Also Fred and George.

"Hey Weaslebee!" I heard some snobby kid yell. I turned around to see the blond kid from the Great Hall. He was accompanied by two rather large boys and a girl who looked like a pug. They were all wearing green on their robes, so they must be in Slytherin.

"Got yourself a new girlfriend I see." He looked at me and winked. Ewww. Gross.

"Shove off Malfoy!" Harry pushed through. Jerk.

"Oooohh! What are you going to do Potter? Tell on me to Mad-Eye Moody?" He and his buddies laughed, or growled.

"Hey! Why don't you take your wand and shove it up your ass!" Mandy said. Oh man, a fight was going to happen.

"Oh, and who are you?"

"None of your business!"

"Well back off!" The big ugly troll statue grunted. I got pissed.

"Don't talk to her like that you troll!" I pulled out my wand and got into a fighting stance. Mandy waved me off and kept as cool and collected as anyone could be in this situation. I swear, that woman can be bipolar sometimes.

"Funny. Now seeing that you have an IQ the size of a flea, I think that it's obvious who would win this fight. You may have the brawn, oh big one, but you don't have the brains. Goodbye and goodnight." And with that, she turned around, grabbed me and practically dragged me up the stairs.

"What'd you do that for? I could've taken him."

"Corrie, all that guy had to do was sit on you and you'd be dead."

"True." We walked up to the portrait and waited for someone to say the passcode, er, word.

"Caput Draconis." Harry said as he walked up behind us. The portrait opened.

"Thanks, Harry." I said. But he paid no attention to me. I leaned over to Mandy and whispered.

"Um, who the bloody hell does he think he is, ignoring us like that? What'd we do to him?" Ron kind of pushed past us. "And what about him? He's kind of cute but he's doing what that other boy is doing?" The bushy haired girl walked by us swiftly.

"Do we smell?" Mandy asked me. I smelled my hair while Mandy smelled hers.

"Nope." We walked into the common room and were ambushed by Fred and George.

"Ello there!"

"We were wondering when-" One started.

"You two would join us." The other one finished.

"That's creepy." I said. They looked at each other and said.

"We know."
