CHAPTER ONE

The Departed Beauxbaton

It was 12 o'clock in the afternoon when the soft alert sound of a message from the captain came on which was what gently awoke Chloe from her deep slumber. Her eyelids fluttered open lazily, trying to readjust her eyes and remind her herself where she was. The flight from Tokyo in total took 19 hours, it was absolute torture for her to be cooped up in her seat for so long but she refused to go by Floo Network, knowing that the muggle plane travel would buy her more time to prepare for this whole London business. Looking out the window of the plane it had never occurred to her before that the weather in England could possibly be this gloomy as she watched the dark rain clouds begin to gather. The kind air hostess that had been serving her during her long trip walked by to announce that they would be landing in Heathrow airport soon enough and everyone was to wear their seat belts. Obliging to the kind woman's orders she reached over to fold the mini table back into it's place before buckling up to get ready for the landing. Looking around she saw as a lot of the other passengers geared up in excitement to learn that they would soon be in London, but for Chloe this was probably the last place she wanted to be.

Stepping off the plane Chloe looked out the window to view her foreign surrounds, walking pass the endless wall of ceiling to floor windows she watched as planes roamed the air strip, the weather was damp and cold, the windows were cool to touch as if the cold from outside was desperately trying to break in to escape themselves. After processing through customs and such she found a pay phone and dialled the number she was given before she had left home. Brrr Brrr, the dial tone ringed in Chloe's ears

"Hello, Miss Martiallow?" A strong British accent answered.

"Yes, i was told to call you when my plane landed"

"We're ready and waiting for you Miss, I am waiting for you at the arrivals gate with a sign."

"Oh right well i need to get my luggage first and.."

"Don't you worry it Miss, we've already got your luggage in the car."

"I will be there soon then, thank you."

"Not a problem Miss, see you soon. Please call if you need any help with anything."

Making her way to the arrivals gate Chloe looked down at her current attire, a cream trench style waist coat with a black pleated mini skirt. The only thing covering her legs was a pair of suede knee high black boots which had a wood platform base with a signature red sole at the bottom of the shoe. Overlooking her outfit she realised how unprepared she was to tackle the cold weather that this place was famous to offer. Coming to the opening of the arrivals gate she spotted a suit adorned man in his late 40's holding up a white sign with her name written on the card. Walking up towards the man he graciously reached his hand out to take her carry on bags off her.

"Good day to you Miss, I'm Robert." The man in the suit said as he tipped his chauffeur hat her way

"Nice to meet you Robert, I'm Chloe."

"I hope you had a good flight Miss Chloe, the car is waiting follow me." Robert then lead Chloe to the grand entrance of the Airport. As the sliding doors opened the cold air washed inside the building and enveloped the two and gave Chloe quite a rude awakening as she felt the icy wind whip up against her bare legs. But to her relief the car was parked right outside the door. Walking briskly up to the black town car Robert opened the back door for Chloe to enter before he shut it closed. Sitting inside the luxurious car she was pleased to see that the heat was turned on. Robert climbed into the drivers seat and readjusted his mirror to meet eye to eye with Chloe sitting in the back.

"So where to now miss?"

"Umm.." Chloe replied as she rummaged around her bag before she found the piece of paper she was looking for. "Diagon Alley?"

"Ahh very well Miss, The Leaky Cauldron we go."

"The Leaky Cauldron?"

"Yes miss, its the only way into Diagon Alley via the muggle world."

"Oh right."

"First time in London Miss?" Robert asked as they pulled away from the kerb.

"No, I've been here before but first time by myself."

"A bit nervous aye?"

"Just a little."

"Well don't you worry Miss, soon you'll be at Hogwarts and you'll feel right at home."

"I hope you're right Robert."

Before long they arrived at the door of The Leaky Cauldron. "Well here we are Miss, The Leaky Cauldron." Robert said as he got out of the car to open the door for Chloe. Stepping out of the town car she took a good look around 'Charing Cross Road' the street sign announced. Robert opened the trunk and pulled out all her luggage onto the footpath. A man that Chloe suspected as the inn keeper at The Leaky Cauldron came out to greet them, the man had quite a hump on his back and a bad eye, he reminded Chloe of the Hunchback of Notre Dame. A story of which she learnt when she was a child living in Paris at the time. Chloe always thought she would attend Beauxbatons academy when it was time for her to attend school but her father had other plans for her. She had gone to Beauxbatons for her first year which made it even harder for her to leave all her friends behind. Now she was alone in London going to a school she didn't want to.

"I leave you here miss, you're in good hands now." Robert said as he said good-bye before getting back into his car, before closing the car door he looked at Chloe. "Best of luck to you miss, I'm sure you'll be happy at Hogwarts."

Arriving at Diagon Alley she saw a crooked cobbled street, with small shops on either side. The street was bustling with witches and wizards every where, young and old. It reminded her a lot of Cambon Ave in Paris where she had brought all her school supplies from, it had a place to purchase everything you could possibly ever need. Taking out the letter from Hogwarts she had received when still in Paris her eyes scrolled down the list to determine what she already had and what she still needed. Walking past Eeylops Owl Emporium she browsed at all the beautiful birds placed outside on display and found herself at the door of Wiseacre's Wizarding Equipment Emporium and decided she might work her way up the street. Walking into Wiseacre's Wizarding Equipment Emporium Chloe looked around,

"Are you attending Hogwarts this year too?"

Chloe turned to be met with a girl that looked not much older then herself with light red curly hair, she wore a black cape with a Hogwarts house shield embroided on left hand side.

"How did you know? I'm a new transfer from Beauxbatons. Second year."

"From the letter you're holding, it has the Hogwarts logo on it. Are you really? I'm starting second year too. I'm Hermione Granger." The red head said as she held out her hand. Shaking the girls hand Chloe was relieved to see she atleast made one friend.

"I'm Chloe Martiallow, it's nice to meet you Hermione"

"It's my pleasure, have you got everything you need?"

"I'm no where close, I'm quite lost here, it's my first time."

"Well let's see you'll need to get all these books, you can go across to Flourish and Blotts. They have the biggest selection and Gilderoy Lockhart is doing a book signing there today." Hermione said with flustered excitement.

"Gilderoy Lockhart the author?"

"Yes, can you believe it?" Hermione continued to gush before she looked out the store window and smiled. "I'm sorry Chloe, i must dash. Good luck finding your books and such, if you need help I'll be around here." Hermione said before dashing out of the store. Chloe looked outside to see her run up to a large hairy man and a boy that seemed to have taken quite a tumble with the look of all the dirt on his face.

After not finding any of the things she needed in Wiseacre's Chloe stepped outside and walked up the street finding the shop called Flourish and Blotts. Walking into the store she saw that Hermione was right, there was a huge line of ladies awaiting for Gilderoy Lockhart. Making her way through the crowd to the over-packed bookcases to find the books written on her Hogwarts letter. Wandering her eyes over the many shelves she spotted a book that caught her eye. 'Hogwarts : A History' wanting to learn more about the school she was about to be detained in Chloe reached up to grab the book which was sitting at the very top of the shelf. Looking up she was met with a pair of icy grey eyes, there was something about them that struck her, they seemed cold but that wasn't all she saw in them. Her curiosity pushed her to pull away from the eyes to see whom they belonged to only to see a boy with pale white skin and slender face. His hair was a striking feature of platinum blonde that was slicked back giving his facial structure a even more rigid angle, his lips were pulled up to the side in a sly smirk as he looked back at Chloe staring at him. He was quite handsome she thought. Realising that she had been staring for an overly long period of time she instantly turned away and blushed realising she was caught looking. Ignoring the boy and forgetting about the book she moved on to continued searching for the needed books on her list. Trying her best to find the books written on the list she had to continually push her way through the egar crowd. With still no luck of finding them she decided she would ask her new friend for help, spotting Hermione's firey red hair at the front of the store she pushed her way up to the front of the shop.

"Her.." Chloe stopped mid sentence seeing they were preoccupied with someone. She watched as the blonde boy from before was chatting to Hermione and her friends in quite a rude manner, before the boy was pushed aside with someone that looked like an older replica of him which Chloe guess must have been his father, with luxurious robes and long blonde hair, a shade which matched his son's to a tee. Not wanting to intrude Chloe went back to trying to find the books but kept a close distance behind Hermione not wanting to loose her. Glancing over she saw that the blonde boy was about to leave.

"See you at school." He sneered at Hermione and her friends before giving a glance her way before leaving the book store.

"Forget him, he's a little git anyway." Chloe heard one of the boys mumble to his friends. Hermione turned around to spot Chloe searching through the cases and walked up to her with a smile.

"Chloe do you need help?"

"Oh yes please, i have looked everywhere and i just can not seem to find these books anywhere."

"Oh they're the Lockhart books, they've probably sold out for the signing but the shopkeeper will definitely have more copies at the back of the store. By the way, Chloe these are my friends. Harry and Ron."

"It's very nice to meet you all. I'm a transfer from Beauxbatons academy"

"Hello." The boys said simultaneously.

"Chloe's going to be in second year with us." Hermione spoke up.

"Is that so? Hopefully you'll get into Gryffindor with us then." The boy named Harry said to Chloe. As he spoke Chloe noticed something on his forehead, it was a scar. A lighting bolt and her eyes widened.

"You're Harry Potter! I'm sorry, but I've heard so much about you."

"Don't worry about it, Harry gets that daily. he's quite a celebrity you know." Ron said causing everyone to give a light laugh.

"We're about to head over to Florean Fortescue's for some ice cream, would you like to join us Chloe?"

"I've heard about that place from my father, i would love to try it." Chloe said with a big smile on her face, so thankful at the fact she had already made friends on her first day in London.
