(( I started this story in November 2001 and I had no idea I'd actually put it on FF.net. My fic has two parts, part one that takes place before graduation, (titled 'Year of the Snake') and part two (titled 'Year of the Horse') after the graduation. All new characters are based on someone I know. One of the co-staring characters, Yukari, was inspired by my personality and apperence. Cho's personality has come to life by Emma, a girl I know from school who is a giant Cho fan. I guess without her help Cho wouldn't have such a huge part in this story. -___-;; Cho is based on Emma, I don't know how I can stand it. Enjoy my story! Keep readin' till the very end! ))

Black Wings: Part 1- Chapter 1

The rain softly hit the glass windows of compartment B of the Hogwarts Express. Harry Potter stared out the window and thought about his upcoming year at Hogwarts- his sixth year. Harry's train of thought was suddenly disturbed by the sound of two girls yelling from outside his compartment door. Harry reconized the one girl's voice as Cho, Cho Chang- the girl he was once head-over-heels for. Ever since her love Cedric Diggory passed away she tried to avoid Harry as much as she possibly could. "Cho, I'll bring the first years to Professor McGonagall and I'll let everyone know the train will arrive soon. Don't worry, I can handle everything.," said the other girl. She opened the door and peeked in. "Excuse me, and first years please come with me.," She paused,
"Oh, sorry to bother you. The train will arrive in Hogsmeade within five minutes." Harry shurgged. The girl went to the next compartment that was occupied by a small girl and a boy even smaller then her. She opened the door and the small girl jumped out of her seat and hugged the entering prefect. "Yukari! I haven't seen you all summer!," the small girl squeeked. "Danna, how've you been?" said Yukari. Danna let go of Yukari. "Well," she said, "I missed Hogwarts. Other then that I'm great. Hey, my brother is starting school this year." Danna pulled the boy by her side. "It's strange the my whole family is in Hufflepuff. Hopefully, Nicky will be in my house.," Danna continued to talk. "I think my mum would be in Hufflepuff if she was a witch. My fathers a wizard and all my cousins are in Hufflepuff." Yukari had a strange disliking towards halfbloods and muggles, but she was to busy ignoring Danna to notice.
The train came to a screeching fault. One of Danna's cats sprung out of it's cage an onto Danna's lap. Yukari picked up one of Nicky's bags and motioned him to come with her. "Danna, I'll take Nicky to Professor McGonagall.," Yukari said. Danna nodded and put her cat, back into it's cage.
The cresent moon glowed on the lake water. Nicky sat quietly in the boat with the other first years, and Yukari as Cho pattled. Yukari pulled out an empty journal with a black leather cover, and a beautiful quin pen from her bag. She began to write her first entry, but Cho stopped pattling and looked over Yukari's shoulder. "Shouldn't you be watching the first years?," Cho pauses and glared at the book, "What are you writing? Anything about me? Yukari snapped the book shut. "Nothing really," she said, "Why? You think you've done something to be writen down in my book?" Cho turned around and continued to pattle. Yukari looked up at the stars and sighed.
